.WOMAN'S CLUB HEARS
SECOND PROGRAM BY
STUDENTS TUESDAY

The second student program of the
season given before the music depart
ment of the Woman's club drew a
large audience to the Public Art gal
lery Tuesday morning. The pupils all
gave excellent exhibitions of technique
and showed no small amount of abil-
ity.
Two young girls, Luella Masters and
Marianne Swaynie, opened the pro-
gram with piano duet, "Gavotte in
F Maor," by Beethoven. which won
for them much applause. The tiniest
and most winsome person on the pro-
gram was Miss Virginia Orr, who re-
cited 'Rock-a-Bye" and then played it
on the piano.

Helen Addleman, violinist, with Alice
Smith accompanying her. The violin
lists tones were very fine, and she
played with facility. Lucille Loufbour-
rows rendition of Godard's eau Ma.
tin" was finished, and the musician
shows much promise. Second Valse
Brillante," also by Goddard, was well
played by Ruth Retiring.
Among the most pleasing numbers
were two vocal solos by Rhea Crandall,
"A Cradle Song" MacFayden, and
my Love is Like a Red, Red Rose" "
She has voice of exceptional sweet
ness which was particularly we'll
adapted to the songs she sang.
Difficult Selections.
Probably the most difficult and one
of the best selections on the program
was the playing of "Reverie," Dunkler,
by a string quartette composed of
three violins and a cello. The per-
Torrance was one that would have
done credit to older and more expe-
rienced musicians. The quartette was
composed of Charlotte Colvin, Alice
Smith. Helen Addleman and Helen
Roland.
Following the quartettes number,
Mary Frances Churchill played THE
Joy of Autumn" by Mcdowell, and
was given several hearty rounds Of
applause. Mrs. Minneman, who has
very clear soprano voice, then sang
"a Birthday" by Woodman, in a most
pleasing way. Her second number
by the Waters of Minnetonka," an
Indian song, was very delightful. A
violin obligato to the last number was
played by Charlotte Colvin. Geraldine
Harter was the accOmDaniSt

Jersey Justice Asks
Grand Jury Probe
OF Dempsey Bout
IF You Think 1t Was a
Fight lndict Principals
and Managers He Says
After Defining Boxing Law

Supreme Court Justice Francis J.
Swayze, in charging the Hudson County
Grand Jury yesterday, suggested that it
inquire into the character of the Demp-
Carpenter contest on July 2. He
urged them to determine if it had been
a boxing exhibition, within the mean
ing of the New Jersey state boxing law,
or a prizefight coming under the pro-
visions of the crimes act.
Justice Swayze pointed out to the
grand jury that no definition of box
ing or sparring match as distinguished
from fight is given in the statute, ex-
cept SO far as may be shown by the
provision that no boxing or sparring
match or exhibition shall be of more
than twelve rounds and that the COM
batsnts shall wear eight-ounce gloves.
also that there shall be no decision.
"The arbitrary fixing of the number
of rounds and the weight of gloves does
not necessarily make boxing match"
said the Justice. "a fight for twelve
rounds might we'll be so brutal and
demoralizing that the exhibition would
cease to be mere boxing match and
become fight, which is prohibited bv
law. l need hardly say that the law
cannot be evaded by mere names. and if
in fact the contest of July 9 was
fight and was merely called boxing
match to evade the law that would not
change its character as a crime
The question. for US is not one Of
names, but of fact. The contest at
tracted attention everywhere. I get the
impression from what | have heard

Catholics Are Warned
Of Attacks on Church

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-Spread Of
religious prejudice in the United States
was remarked by DIR. Michael J. Stat
terry. executive secretary, in the report
which he submitted to-day to the con-
ventlon of the National Council of
Catholic Men. Never in the history of
this country, he said, has there been
more antiCatholic literature printed
than there is to-day.
Every day brings to headauarters
evidence of concerted attack ON the
church. DR.. Slattery said. "The en-
envy is we'll organized and we'll financed
We must be prepared to counter act
their program of hatred and intoler-
ance"
The report covered a number If ac-
tivities sponsored by the council. in
Guiding establishment of school to
train laymen, work to combat proselvt-
ing of other religions in the Philip
pines, the fight against the spread Of
bIgotry as exemplified by the Ku-Klux

Bankers Divorced
Wife Ties Up Fund
To Obtain Alirnonv
Court Names Receiver in
!. the Bishop Case; Deduc-
tons for Daughters Ex-
penses Made by Husband

Justice Wasservogel yeste rday granted
the application of Mrs. Abigail Hancock
Bishop for the appointment of re-
ceiver fer $544,000 trust fund from
which her former husband, James
Cunningham Bishop, banker, receives
the income. The court also granted the
further relief asked--that the payment
of the income to Mr.. Bishop be with
held to satisfy an alimony order OBJ
tanned by Mrs. Bishop, who divorced
her husband
Mr.. Bishop is now living in Torres
dale, Pa. The court awarded $4,000 a
year to his wife. which Mr.. Bishop
paid her until April last, when the
banker deducted $50 week, saving
that this deduction represented the ex-
pense he was under for the education
of his daughter, Abigail. Then in June
Mr.. Bishop deducted another $50, with
the explanation that it cost him that
much for clothes for Abigail and other
necessaries for the daughter.
The Bishops have several children,
and the court under the divorce decree
divided the custody between the father
and mother. Abigail, who is fourteen
years old, was given into the custody
OF Mrs. Bishop, who alleges that her
former husband has alienated the girl
from her. and that she now is living
with her father at Torresdale.
Mrs. Bishop submitted to the court
yesterday a letter from this daughter,
who sent it to her mother with num-
Der of unpaid bills.
II am sending you some of these
bills, which it is only right you should
pay" wrote Abigail, who added Papa
pays for all my expenses and paid for
my dentist bills, and it is up to you
to pay these bills Abigail also asked
her mother not to send any more tele-
grams, "as they are very annoying to
u.s."
The trust fund from which Mr..
Bishop receives his income was created
by his father, Heber R. Bishop. 1t is
in the hands of the Metropolitan Trust
Company, Francis G. Bishop and Moses
Taylor as trustees. With a receiver in
charge, sufficient cash will be deducted
from Mr.. Bishops income to pay his
former wife the full amount of her
afimony.
