In the prompt and certain meting out of

"The government is slowly and painfully
unravelling the facts surrounding these
frauds." the hrtef declares, "and bringing
the offenders to luatice. as they arc- one by

CHURCH STRIFE ENDS.
New Trustees Supplant Mrs.
Stetson and Followers.
The new board af trustees of the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, met last night
for organization, and by the meeting aid
recognition of the four trustees elected, at
the. stormy session of the congregation on
Tuesday night th« so-called "Stetson"
trustees hrouglu to a practical end the
strife which has kept the church at 06th
street and Central Park West seething for
the last three or four months.
Threats of legal proceedings and injunc
tions based on the protests of "StetFon-
Jtes" against many of the voters in Tues
day night's election went by the board and
were, forgotten when the new trustees met.
■with the old after the regular Wednesday
evening service of the church last night.
With the registration of the vote of 733
members of the congregation against th<s
trustees who have been known as the
"Stetson" trustees, as compared to the 4R»>
who voted for their retention, members of
the church yesterday paid that the last
remnants of Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson's
former control were disappearing, and, the
work of harmonizing the two elements
•would proceed quietly.
Virgil O. Strickler. first reader of the
Church and tl;e man who ha.':. With Rich
ard P. Vcrrall. led the opp°Mtion to Mrs.
Stetson and ttIOMS who represented her,
decried the. talk of any revengp by hi* fol
lower?, now that they are In power, on th.
defeated Stetsonites. The first reader also
said that he (ii<l not look OO the victory as
la any way a personal one, Vtut simply R-s
the derjpion of the congregation that they
beiievcd in Mrs. Eddy's recant advice as to
democratic government ill church matters.
The count of the ballots In Tuesday
night's election was not finished until 2:30
o'clock Wednesday morning, and the official
result was tabulated as 753 votes for the,
Htrickler ticket and 4W for the "Stetson," or
trustees', ticket.
Benjamin V. Bailey, Arthur O. Probst
and Ifargarei Beecher White were elected
as trustees for three years and Charles A.
Dean was elected as trustee for two years,

LAWYERS' SEW RULES
Bar Association Seeks Simpler
Procedure.
Having considered the report of its spe
cial committee on the simplification of the
procedure, the Bar Association issued a
statement yesterday in which it was an
nounced that twenty-nine of the Sfty-tWO
recommendations of the committee had
been adopted without amendment, eleven
with amendments and eieht in the form of
substitutes. Three recommendations were
rejected and one was recommit tod.
The association has adopted the views of
many judges and leaders of the bar, and
has followed the American Bar Association
in attacking the abuse of appeals. It rec
ommends the ignoring of technical errors
that presumably did not affect the merits
and the granting of judgment and a final
settlement of the controversy upon reversal
or modification by the Appellate Division
without ordering a new trial, unless the
latter course is absolutely necessary.
The association believes that the so-called
•'scintilla rule" should be abolished, it
being recommended that upon any Jury
trial where the evidence adduced by either
party is insufficient to sustain a verdict the
trial justice shall direct such verdict a*
would be proper had such party adduced nu
evidence.
In order that real property shall not be
tied up indefinitely, the association recom
mend.-- the abolition of double or treble
statutory trials in ejectment, on the pro
bate of wills of real propert>, and in surro
gates" accountings. In ctiminal cases the
association recommends that when two or
more defendants are jointly indicted they
may be tried jointly or separately, in tho
discretion of the court.
Jn conclusion, tho statement says that
legislative action should be taken on the
rr commendations, the feeling having exist
ed long enough that the state is a place
where the laws delay is indefinite and the
city a place where the jury system in
criminal care? has broken down.

VALUE OF COTTON.
New Orleans Exchange Head
Discusses "Nciv York Haul."
New Orleans. Jan. I?.— Apropos of the so
called bear raid in the New York cotton
market. President \\". B. Thompson, of
the New Orleans Cotton Exchange laaued
a Mpi. 'I statement to-night, In which he
says:
If thr-i was ever a time when (lie cot
ton producer and the holder <>f spot cot
ton should make a stand, that time is the
present. We havi recently passed through
one of the most trying and unwarranted
declines in the history of the cotton trade.
Spot, cotton is intrinsically worth little, if
any, leas than it was two weeks ago, yet in
the mean lime, • through tho manipulation
01 a few bear operators In the New York
market, the entire cotton trade has been
for the time being demoralized.
Let It be understood that the slump in
the contract market has not affected the
Intrinsic value of cotton. The law of supply
and demand determines this value. The
New York raid i« not a legitimate inci
dent of the cotton trade, either in spots or
futures It represents tho efforts of a
few men with much money to pain their
purpose, by a guerilla attack. II is as if
a man or set of men, for the sake of
gratifying a personal grudge, and of reap
ing a personal profit, should endeavor to
stampede the occupants of a crowded
buildlnpr by the cry of "(Ire!"
The issue In a larce one. It compre
hends ■ ni<iro than the Interests of the
bear or bull operators in cotton. It raises
the question as to whether a. few manipu
lators shall demoralize a great trade sys
tem and go unpunished therefor. It af
fects the best interests of not only the spot
market but the futures market as well.
The most powerful asrmt of retribution is
within the control of the farmer and spot
holder, if they will use it.

Dfrs. Rossiter Johnson Joins It
icttk Socialism.
That woman suffrage and socialism are
one and inseparable and 'that they are
standing together in the path of Bjrefjr***
was a conclusion reached by the paagshar*
of the Guidon Study Club. whic% met with
their president. Mrs. Rossiter Johnson, at
No. 131 East 19th street, yesterday after
noon.
In a paper on "The Historical Relation of
Socialism to Suffrage" Ura Johnson said
that where the commune, has been the form
of government among peoples such as th«
North American Indian and the Esquimau;
they lived practically as in the Stone A«e.
on one level, without any progress. Thera
the mother controlled the arTalrs. th* chil
dren took her name and she was the ruling
spirit of the community. But in countries
where a republican form of government
was adopted separate homes were estab
lished and individual ownership was intro
duced. Then tho father became Important,
and woman retired from political activity
to control the home and build up the
family.
"Sparta." said Mrs. .Johnson, "was a
typical commune, where men and women
were brought up in the same way. Con
sequently, it had no architecture; litera
ture or art. But in Athens, which was
a typical republic, individuality and per
sonality were developed. Here, when women
retired from the active field, civilization ad
vanced. Where domestic life has been en
couraged, there we find advancement.
"Wherever suffrage is existing now. as
it does In Australia and New Zealand, it has
been introduced into that country through
the Socialist party. Here in America the.
founders of the suffrage movement trere
radical communists, and there were nine
communes in existence in this state alone
when the movement was first begun. All
the Socialist papers abroad bear as their
heading these words. 'All nini and women
should vote. The state should take care of
the children. '
"Socialism, communism and anarchy are
words that can be used interchangeably.
They are all different methods of arriving
at the Miii* thing. They all stand in the
(iirect path of progress, and so do*«?
woman suffrage, which i« inextricably
i'f-ijii.l up with them."
