St. Mary's Seminary
Drive Near Success

The campaign to raise S25, 900 for st.
Mary's Seminary in st. Mary's coun-
~ has been carried on so successfully
that the amount is almost in sight, ac-
cording to Edward Thomas, of the
Southern Maryland Society.
St, Mary's Seminary holds senti-
mental interest for the State, for it
was established on the site of the first
capital OF Maryland, the spot where
the first settlers landed. Some of the
most prominent women of the State
have been educated there.
Mrs Lucy Maddox, for nearly %
years principal of the school, resigned
In June and Miss Adele France, of
Kent county, has been appointed.
Miss France is a graduate of Columbia
University and received her master of
arts degree this year.
With the desire to raise the scholas-
tic standing of the Seminary, the board
OF trustees authorized Miss France to
make such changes in the curriculum
as she may deem desirable.
When the $4,000 has been sub
scribed, the bulldog will be renovated,
modern system of plumbing installed
and necessary equipment supplied.
The campaign has been carried on
by members OF the Southern Maryland
Society and the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association, of Baltimore.

AMERICAN GIRLS CONDUCT
IS ROUNDLY DENOUNCED
United Lutheran Church Leader Says
New Freedom Is y
Abused.

New York, July 26.-The modern
American girl is at the lowest ebh
OF her history" the Rev. DIR. +. H.
Knubel, president of the United
Lutheran church Of the United states
and Canada, declared before sailing
on the Lapland for Germany, where
he will attend the world conference
of the Lutheran church in August.
American girls and young wom-
en- he said, should mend their
ways, because the men despise them
for their ways. They drink cocktails,
smoke cigarettes and altogether their
conduct is shocking.
"'The whole United States Is very
immoral at present and / trust there
will be recovery very soon. The
women are no worse than the men,
but they seem SO because previously
they were so reserved. They should
realize that men hate them for flaunt-
ing indecency. | believe much of
this is due to the eXaggeration of the
true duty of women: namely, suffrage
and this new freedom.
THE religious life of America has
reached that stage when the people
are demanding of the leaders more
positive fashion of expressing the
truth of religion"

Smith, one of rs inmate witnesses
from the Brooklyn state hospital fol

When he ceased struggling, the at
tendants picked him up, carried him
to lavatory where they washed his
face and then took him back to his
cot. Smith said.
The seventy-fve witnesses, many of
them women, were brought in a
sightseeing bus to attend the investi-
cation before Judge Mclaughlin of

eral guards at the hospital, which al
ready has resulted in indictment of

ger, was under observation at the

was that it wasn't a fixed cost. l
could pay whatever amount | wanted
and any amount would be accepta ble."
Schweitzer said he paid the woman
$40 for which he was given receipt.

VILLA KNEW HIS PERIL
Reveals Plot Fifteen Days Before He
Was AssaSsinated

Washington, July 26. - Francisco
Villa, former bandit chief of Mexico
who was assassinated near Parral re-
Gently, had known for some time his
life was menaced, according to re-
port received at the Mexican embassy
today from Mexico City. Fifteen days
before the assassination took place
Villa himself had made public num-
Der of documents, the report says,
which showed certain of his enemies
were plotting against his life.
The official report indicates the as
sassination may be accounted for by
the fact that many persons had griev-
ances against Villa for acts he had
committed during the time he was a
revolutionary chieftain in Northern
Mexico.

Floor Near LaFoIlctte's Seat Is Worn
Very Thin.

Washington, July 26.-In prepara-
ton for the heavyweights to be seat
ed in the next session, the architect
of the capitol yesterday had work.
men strengthen the senate floor.
When all the seats had been removed
1t was found the boards up the main
aisle had become worn very thin, also
the section near the seats occupied
by Senator's Robinson (ArkO and
former-Senator France (Md) .
Gallery lizards--those who never
miss a session of the senate-say the
boards in the main aisle were worn
out largely by Senator La Toilette
(Wis.) while running up and down
the pGssageway abusing the railroads
and big business.
In support of their argument they
point to the fact that both Senators
Robinson and France are noted peri
patetic orators and when speaking
they walk many miles around their
desks. SO that they would wear out in
time even marble floor. K
