We, joint committee from
the Wouen's Federated Civic
Leagues, of Wise county, have
come before you today to ask
for your moral support and ii
nancial aid in II work that the
several leagues are undertaking
in the various towns of the
county, namely, that work of
hunting up all those young girls
in the county who are Leading
immoral and prostitute lives,
and who are thereby eiTccting
both the moral and physical
well-being of this and the com
ing generation. These girls
are constantly being arrested
and thrown Into jail; the state
has the expense of their trials
and their up keep until such
lime as their fines are paid by
some one of the all too willing
men who have gone scot free
for the same oifense and often
with the same highly commu-
nicable disease, aud The girls
are once more turned loose on a
defenseless public. No good is
accomplished; the states mon

The blue birds: Such fines are
imposed for "disorderly con

men, ever taken into account
The untold misery, the unspeak-
able suffering, both of body
and mind, that these girls are
iniiicting upon both themselves
and the young boys of Wise
county! Have you ever thought

girls are tho future mothers of

them as they are, without

with nothing to which TO look
forward save the black ness of
despair, and, eventually, DEATH?
We, of the Federated Leagues
say, mo! y thousand times

There are few of us here who
are not rearing boys of our own

inlnce matters any longer. For
their sake who have determined
to call spade spade, and for
their protection, if for no other
reason, have we come to you
today to ask for your aid and
cooperation. The principal
work of all our leagues this
year will be this work of moral

with which to carry out our
plans.

COMM 7 TEE To
CONTINUE WORK
On THE CLINIC
Trade Board Workers Not to
Give Up Due to Recent De-
velopments In Controversy

That the sub committee on health
recently appointed by the Board of
Trade to work in connection with the
Health Department and Hospital
Board of Managers to secure a clinic
for this city, will continue it's efforts
to have a clinic established here was
the action taken at the meeting of the
Labor and Welfare committees of the
Board of Trade last night.
Nathaniel w. Pierce reported to the
committee the status of the establish
ment of clinic in this city. and fol-
lowing his report, which was with
held from publication a motion was
made and passed to continue the work
of the Subcommittee on health, to-
wards the establishment of a clinic in
this city.
The committee discussed various
plans for the organizing of all the en-
ployment managers and those interest
ed in personal relations, into one group
or association to be under the auspices
of the Board of Trade. 1t was de-
cided to invite all of these men to

PENALTY
FOR SLAYERSO Of
ROMAN SMITH
Week of August fS Set for
Date when State Will Ex-
ecute Three

The death sentence has been i'm
posed for the third time upon the trio
convicted of the murder Roman Smith
South River. The men, Frank Law
ieri, Michael DePalma and Gerinimo
Palmieri, alias Napalitano, have been
sentenced to the electric chair by Jus
tice James J. Bergen during the week
commencing August 1S.
There is not the most remote prob
ability that anything can save the men
from their fate, every opportunity for
a reprieve having been exhausted by
them,
The death sentence was first pro-
nounced to take effect May. 20, 1913,
but the execution was held up by a
reprieve from the governor to permit
a review of the case by the Court of
Pardons. That court denied the ap-
plication for commutation of sentence
Immediately after that deniel the case
was appealed to the court of Errors
and Appeals. In the meantime the
men had been sentenced again for the
week of September 8, 1918. The court
of Errors and Appeals finally decided
the case for the state in an opinion
by Judge Charles w Parker delivered
June 81, 1919.
The murder of Roman Smith, an
aged farmer of South River, was one
of the most brutal in contemporary
police annals. Believing that he had a
large sum of money at his home the
three men entered the place on the
morning of October II, 1917, coming
in a party all the way from New York
to commit the crime. They first seized
Mrs. Smith and had tied her when her
husband came in and died in an at
tempt to free her
The men were tried in April, 1918,
and the case which had been built UP
by the prosecutor and the detectives
who catured them has stood the ex-
animation of three courts.

AUSTRIAN REPLY

Sympathy With League of Ma

Reply
BIZ Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
PARIS, July 9.-Austria will be ad-
mitted to membership in the League
of Nations as soon as the Allies and
associated powers consider that she
possesses a responsible government
which will fulfill its international OBJ
legations. The Austrian peace delega-
ton has been so informed in reply
by the supreme council of the peace
conference to the Aus o n plea for the
admission to the league.
The Austrian note embodying the
plea was sent by DR.. Karl Renner, the
Austrian chancellor and head of the
Austrian peace delegation to Premier
Clemenceau as the president of the
peace conference June 23 and which
was made public today.
The note concluded with the state
ment that the delegation takes the
liberty of insisting on its request for
admission to the league upon the sign
ing of the treaty as a member and on
a footing of equality.
By Associated Press.
PARIS, July 9:-Sympathy with
the idea of the League of Nations
and an expression of Willingness to
be satisfied with taking the role of a
participating member in that organ
ization and enjoying its protection
was expressed in the Austrian reply
to the Allied peace terms made pub
lie here today. The reply was dated
at st. German -en-Laye, June 23, in
the form of communication from
| Chancellor Renner, head of the Aus
trian peace delegation, to Premier
Clemenceau as president of the peace
conference.
The reply set forth that the dele
cation recognized that German-Aus-
tria, as the text of the note names
the nation, could not well take part
in the problem of creating the league,
(which by its very nature remains in
the hands of great powers" but will
be glad of its protection without
| taking an important part in the
rights and obligations entailed by
membership in this league"
The note pointed out that German
Austria had been charged with the
responsibility for the war;" but said
that it had been thus charged with
out any fault of its own" The prin-
ciple upon which the new nations are
founded are set forth as essentially
democratic, the principles being
those of a Social Democratic and
Christian Socialist party.
Essentially, therefore, the note
continues, the nation is founded "on
the two principal classes, working
men and peasants, who under the old
regime never had real share in the
direction of the state and could never
freely realize their political aims" !"
"It is the revolution" continued the
exposition, (which has insured full
and complete preponderance to dem
ocracy in our country"
The history of the democratic
movement in Austria since 1913 is
gone into by the nete. The idea or
the movement, it is claimed, was to
transform the country into a confed-
GRAFTON OF nations, each of which the
neople should govern themselves.

TRIAL FOR TWO
COPS MONDAY
koscieIniak and UnderhiII to
Be Placed on Trial Before
Alderman Committee

Patrolmen Stanley Koscielniak and
Lester Underhill, who have been sus-
pended for violation of the police
regulations were served yesterday with
formal copies of the charges on which
they are to be tried. The hearing be-
fore the Police Committee of the
Board of Aldermen has been set for
Monday night, July IA. The hearing
will be open to the public and will
probably be attended by other mem
bers of the Board of Aldermen, Mayor
Frank Dorsey, Chief Burke and others.
The charges as presented after be-
ing drawn up by City Attorney Leo
Goldberger, are substantially the same
as those made informally by the Off
GERS who first made the complaints
against them.
Kiscielniak is charged with having
gone to sleep while on duty. He was
discovered asleep in a car in an auto
mobile garage about half past 1 at
night by Roundsman William Calvin.
Underhill is charged with having
taken the police auto out of the gar
age without the knowledge of any
member of the force or any permis-
sion and with having broken the ma
chine. Since the accident last week
the auto has been towed to a garage
in this city. The damage is said to
amount to less than 500, the steering
gear nd front axle being the chief
parts broken.
