ton until the May meeting of the
league.
The conference in London dealt
with the problem of the Near East
and the possibility of. revising the
Sevres treaty. Turkish delegations
representing both the Constantinople
and the Angora governments
present and the first part of the week
was wasted in their efforts to get to-
gether and present a detailed state
ment of their desires. They finally
agreed on demands that Thrace, Smyr-
ma and the D%ardanelles be restored to
Turkey, and objections to the polit-
ical, economic and financial control
exercised by the allies. However.
Rechad Pasha speaking for both
groups, assured the conferees that
both sections would accept the de-
cision of the allies. The demand that
signed again to the Turks caused
much surprise and ~unfavorable COM
ment, even among the French dele
gates, who have been generally on the
side of Turkey in the present contro-
versy. The Greeks remain uncompro-
missing in their demand that the treaty
of Sevres stand virtually unaltered,
and it was considered possible the
great powers might permit them to
try to hold their positions in Turkey,
though without assistance from the
allies.

The two great agencies of the allies
the supreme council and the council
of the League of Nations-began SEES
sions last week, the former in London
and the latter In Paris. The league
council first took up the matter of
amendments to the covenant, and. be-
aus the attitude of the incoming adj
ministration In America was in doubt.

mittee which will not report before
April. This gives Mr.. Harding time to
define his position on the league.
Then the mandates were brought I'D
for consideration, and again the
United States, though not officially
represented, made its influence felt.
Ambassador Wallace sent word that
our State department wished to pre-
sent its views, and action was halted
until the note from Washington ar
rived. This note, In substance, called
attention to the fact that the United

question to a new investigation.
Secretary Colby also claimed for
the United States an equal concern
and interest with the other principal
allied and associated powers in the
disposition of the overseas possess

The net result. at this writing, is

LOVE BLAMED AS LURE
FOR WOMEN CRIMINALS
Police Matron Asserts Men Are Causes Of Mistakes in Most
Cases of Downfall in Other Ses

Ninety nine of every hundred women
who stenl, lie, cheat and kill and are
caught In the tolls Of the law for 1t, sin
for the sake Of some man.
Only one woman in hundred is her
self the instigator and originator of a
crime.
This was not learned in q casual half
hour of prison inspection. 1t is vital
| flesh and blood statistics CLEANED
through the experience Of real woman
| in twenty years of close contact with
women offenders.
Up on the seventh floor Of the City
Hall in a cozy apartment known as the
police matron's 3 room sits Mrs. Mary G..
Moore. She is one of the two police
matrons at Central Station who look
after the city's women wrong doors.
Many the night she has been reused
from her rest to minister to the comforts
of some weary, weak unfortunte. Count
less are the stories that have been un-
burdened on her broad motherly bosom.
Dull eyed, disillusioned girls in bedrag-
gled finery have wept as they talked.
Older women have wept, too, but some
of them cursed.
Still Secs Good In All
There are those who say the work of
the police matron hardens her but Mrs.
Moore has different way Of looking at
1t. Her kindly blue eyes have note of
tenderness as they explain.
II have learned" she said as she sat
in her City Hall apartment during a
brief half-hour of respite, that women,
that Is the majority of women. are of
themselves good. In ninety nine cases
out Of a hundred some man is at the
bottom Of their trouble.
.''1t Is perhaps queer kind of love
that makes woman steal for man,
but love is after all, suppose. a matter
OF sacrifice. In her own private life
the woman criminal is often flawless,
but give her a man she cares for and
who she thinks cares for her, there is
nothing she won't sacrifice for him. She
gives the last shred of honor and repu-
tation for him and even when she's
caught she still win stick TO him. The
only thing that will make her turn on
him is his infidelity."
An understanding sort Of sympathy
crept into Mrs. Moore's quiet explana-
tion as she talked. Her years of pa
tient service Mt the House of Correc-
ton, in the Eighth District police sta
ton and in the City Hall itself seemed
to, have given her Judgment kindly
balance which all the sordidness Of life
could not disturb.
The case of Jean Cunningham, the
girl in New York who confessed to
stealing jewelry when confronted with
the question: ''I suppose you know
that bird you stole for went and got
married. don't you?' was discussed.
That's just what l mean" Mrs.
Moore said. 1T was the thought of the
mans unfaithfulness that made the girl
turn. She would have forgiven hin,
anything in the world but that. She
would rather have taken a beating
They all would.

her CELL"
Boots" Of recent noteriety, was
discussed, but this particular prisoner
did not come In for praise for her do
nestle propensities. Most Of her days
were spent In close consultation with
a small hand-mirror, or in eating fruit
sent to her. Boots" by the way, was
not classed as a woman who had done
wrong for the sake Of the love of a
man.
While Mrs. Moore was talking there
was q knock at the door and a police
sergeant ushered In a colored woman
who shot and killed her husband two
nights ago when he used his fists on her
because the supper was cold. Six years
ago this same woman killed another
husband in q fit of frenzy, but was dis
charged on the plea Of self defense.
Half crnzed with fear and crying, she
stood before Mrs. Moore.
Consoles Husband Slayer
Poor Susie" Mrs. Moore said
soothingly, take off your hat. There,
now; that's cooler. l wish l could do
something for you. Susie. Go down like

breaking uOWn at tne KIND words. and
| couldn't stand It no longer. Oh. this
life is miserable for me; It's miserable.
Yes-um. III do what you say"
Away they led her In few minutes
and the. conversation turned 60 happier
subjects. The three girls who came
from Washington on the train and who
tried to go back in a taxicab were dis
cussed.
"They were good girls" Mrs. Moore
explained. "I'd have staked my life or
that. You should have seen them break
down during the religious services we
have on Sunday afternoon.
but most women want TO be good, -
Mrs. Moore concluded. "Thcre Is no
question about it. Women are far more
moral and finer in every sense than
men. They simply have not the real
criminal instinct in them. 1t IL men

Mrs. Moore cited the instance Of n
woman who had been the victim of the
most barbaric cruelty. In her suffer-
ing she only looked up and sobbed, "He
didn't mean 1t. Oh. 1 love him so.''
She pointed to the instance of Babette

Collins is missing from his Gus
tomary haunts. He had frequently
been a guest of Mrs. Warner, ac-
cording to the police information.
and is said to have formed such an
plausibility in the story that he was
jealous Of Reid.
The husband of Mrs. Warner. Fred

there had been no interest in COM
mon between himself and his wife

Warner is a church worker. His
wife had been interested in motion

said to have lost considerable
money. Nevertheless she is report
ed to have paid s27.500 for the home
where the shooting occurred and an
equal amount for the furnishings.
Mrs. Warner and another young
woman. described as being unusu-
ally attractive, have been missing
since they jumped into an automo-
bile in front of the door shortly
after the shooting of Reid and drove

Tornado Lays Waste
Strip for FiUe Miles

WILSON. y. C, May 16.-A ter
rife windstorm that passed over
this city last night grew to cycIonic
proportions about three miles far
ther south, and for a distance of f1ve
miles laid waste everything in its
path.
On the plantation of H. H. Wal
ston a six-room house was literally
lifted from its foundation and de-
molished. Seven members of the
family. all negroes, were more or
less injured. Flying timber and the
contents of the building were scat
tered over a field of twenty acres
Other buildings along the path of
the tornado were damaged.
