INDIvIDUALlSM SECONDARY.
Declares Mrs. Thomas G. Winter Where II
Interferes with the Ge neral Good.

A broad sympathy and the repression
of individualism where this interferee
with the general good of the whole body
affected, whether home, society or COM
munity, was urged by Mrs. Thomas G..
Winter, president of the General Federa-
toon Of Women's Clubs, in two addresses
delivered in this city yesterday afternoo
and last evening.
; The first was before the members of the
New Century Club, on the lawn of Mrs.
Charles Warmers residence. The power
for betterment latent in such organiza-
tions was pointed out, with the comment
that the full development of it would come
with a deeper recognition of the value
of cooperation.
The theory that the factory girl and
the society girl were beings of two different
grades she declared to be a crumbling
one. Other ideas to which she gave ex-
preston were that women as the admins
traitors of the money of the household,
should use it with the thought of making
the home place to train her children as
fine citizens and that "to neglect this
duty was as bad as injecting poison into

Albany, N. Y, March 30.-"Guilty" was the verdict rendered in the as- sembly today by a majority of the judiciary committee in the case of the five socialist members suspended on charges of disloyalty.
 Indications were overwhelming tonight that the majority decision would be upheld by the assembly and that the recommendations in the majority report that the socialists seats be declared vacant would be adopted. The size of the majority favoring these propositions was the only disputed subject. It was re- ported that at least ninety votes and possibly more than 100 would be cast for expulsion.

RIVER REACHED ITS CREST HERE WITH
 STAGE 23.4 FEET
Fall, However, Will Not Be. gin Until This Eve
 ming

The rise in the Arkansas river at Pine Bluff reached it's crest yester- day, and last night was at stand, according to the local weather obser- yer, with stage of 23.4 feet The flood stage here of 25 feet, and no reports of damage from the 23 foot stage have been reported.
 The crest of 23.4 feet will be main- tained until tonight, it was stated, when the river will begin to recede. It has been falling at nearly every point north, including Dardanel1e and Fort Smith.
 The river began it's rise last Thursday following storm over a number of the states of the South west. The rise was sudden here, but since the first big rise, has increased only 1.8 feet. The rise in the river sent backwash into the old lake bed, though that was not out of its banks. A big portion of the sand bar across the river is under water and land north ofthe river which is being cultivated, is under water.
