Smyrna who was robbed and mar

The lamentations of the women and
the piercing cries of the children are
still ringing in my ears. 1t seemed
as if reason had fled and the fire and
sword of the Turk had triumphed.
I'm an increditably short time, the
quay was seething mass of Mortified
humanity. The Christian population
had already lived through a night
mare of intimidation and slaughter
by the Turks; it needed only the fire
to complete their frenzy. Mobs Of
them surrounded the American sail
ors doing patrol duty and begged in
the name of The Savior and America,
that they be saved, but our bluejack-

THE heat of the spreading flames
was uncomfortable. The refugees
dipped blankets into the water of the
bay and wrapped them around their
bodies; others fed up side streets,
goaded by the overpowering heat,
only to find Turkish soldiers with
machine guns ready to slay them.

Single Standard
for Infraction Of
Moral Code Adopted

Chicago, April l4.-The single
standard of morality has been put
into effect by the city health de-
partment, it was announced by Dr..
Il. N. Bundesen, health commis-
sioner. Hereafter, Or. Bundesen
announced, men and women brought
to the department through infrac-
tions Of the moral code, will be
treated alike-isoIated in the city
hospital until they are healthy and
well. Heretofore only women have
been isolated the men being re-
leased.
The first instance of the new
rule came when the father of girl
was permitted to pass sentence on
boy who was believed to have
communicated a disease to her. The
girl had been isolated in the hos
pItaI, but the boy released. Or.
Bundesen called in the young man
and the girls father decided that
the boy should be treated the same
as the girI-forced to remain In
the hospital until cured, despite the
fact that this upset his plans to
keep his secret from his family.
The boys father, when he learned
of the case. volunteered to pay the
maximum fine under the charges on
which the couple were arrested, but
Or. Bundesen refused to permit
this.

as she was half-conscfous herself.
Mr.. Fancher said that soon aft
er they married, three years ago,
he and his wife attended a senace
and both talked to their dead par
ents. Since that time, he said,
Mrs. Francher's health had been
terest in spirituaIism.
THAT senace," he said, "put the
whole idea into her head. She
though she could do better for me
II she we're dead and would guide
me to heaven"
Mrs. Fancher's health had been
very poor since the birth Of their
son and she felt, her letters In
dicated. that her death would re-
IIeve her husband Of a severe
handicap. She took the baby's life

against Claude J. Rast on charge
Of attempted criminal assault upon a
girl student while he was principal
of East Middle school will probably
not be tried at this term Of court. The

it will take more than two days to
complete. The court will not be in
session next week.
The court is now engaged in the
trial Of two negresses and a negro
man on a charge of murder of an in
FAINT. This negro baby was found dead

attempted criminal assault upon the
wife of white farmer, near Orange
