They Weaken the Teachings of Child- hood, Says Cardinal Farley. New York, Deec, 18.—Elimination of |the divorce antl the “triangle plot” |from the drama as a step to improving morality of the stage was susgested by Cardinal Farley and other members ot the National Catholic Theater Move- fhent at the home of the cardinal to- day. Some of the present Broadway plays were described as having de- scended to “as low a depth possible the police.” Cardinal Farley discussed the “evil influence of the modern stage,” and said parents must hwrry a movement toward creating a sentiment against Ibad plays. |_In the kind of plays we attack we ) imust pick out the so-called ‘problem |Dlays’” he said. “The patently vulgar | plays are bad enough, but those that |deal in the sex problem are the most dangerous. They weaken the teach- |ings of childhood, they put evil in the S {minds of the young and they lessen the sanctity of marriage vows. Many of the divorces in this country are, in {my opinion, due to ideas gathered by young people from problem plays. “The theaters in ages past, when the miracle and mystery plays had the | vogue, was a place of instruction and | beneficial amusement.

One of the older chiefs in the del- | egation started to talk to the presi- | dent through an interpreter. He made a long speech, while the president waited expectantly to hear it repeat- | ed. At its conclusion the interpreter | fidgeted, looked bewildered and said not a word to the president. The chief | waited patiently a moment, gave a| but dignified glance at the | gloomy interpreter and then in good English which was surprisingly understand- able remarked to the president with a gesture toward the interpreter: “He doesn't get me.” It was the same chief who,stopped at the doors of the executive office on | his way out to don a pair of rubber | overshoes to protect his moccasius. | TO TRANSFER WALLS OF FORBIDDEN CITY Manchu Dowager Empress Makes Of- fer to Reform Government.

Called by the Defen: Boland Washington, Dec. 18—One of the rare fevents in the history of the sen- ate Occurred today when a woman's voice was heard within the chamber. Miss Mary Boland of Scranton, Pa., was one of the witnesses called during the day by aftorneys for Judge Robert W. Archbald of the commerce court, whose trial for impeahment for alleged misuse of judicial power has been in progress since December 3. She was the first woman to appear within the senate chamber while that body was in session since 1905, when a woman testified at the impeachment trial of Judge Swayne of Florida. Judge Archbald probably will take the witness stand in his own defense before the conclusion of the trial. It is expected that there will be about ten witnesses to be examined following the Christmas recess. Miss Boland is a niece of William P. Boland, one qf, the principal witnesses against the judge, and is a stenogra- pher in her uncle’s office. She was called to the stand, however, by the at- torneys for Judge Archbald. & Attorney A. S. Worthington asked her if E. J. Williams had told her on September 18, 1911, that he had just ome from Judge Archbald’s office and had seen there a brief the judge had prepared for the Erie railroad in the “lighterage case.” She replied in the affirmative. A dispute arose as to the admission of the testimony. The attorney ex- plained that he desired to show that Williams was confused when he testi- fled that he had seem this “brief” or “trial list” in the judge’s office in March, 1911, about the time Judge | Archbald is alleged to have been at- tempting to buy a coal dump from the Erie railroad. The testimony was admitted. The house managers asked for a complete_statement of what was said on that day. When finally they got it, the stenographer of the senate had to read the answer, because Miss Boland's vVoice was lost in the big chamber..

Washington, Dec. 18 —President Taft has made up his mind to accept the proffer_of the Kent professorship of law of Yale and probably will take up his duties at New Haven early in the spring. Obstacles to Legal Practice. The president was said tonight to have determined upon accepting the Yale professorship for several reasons. He will not be restricted merely to lectures to Yale students, but will be permitted to lecture if he desires in other law schools or upon the plat- form, or to engage in_any other oc- cupation which he sees fit. If the president had returned to Cincinnati to resume law practice he felt that he would have but little opportunity for practice. International Practice Uncertain. He felt that he could not appear 1 betfore the United States su- preme court because he has appointed a majority of its membership. He remembered when he thought of the law that he had named many federal judges in Ohio before whom he migh| have to argue cases and he belleve that about the only sort of practice which he could take up would be in- ternational and that he regarded as uncertain. Yale Surroundings Dear to Him. At Yale the president will be in surroundings dear to him and will be in a position to engage in almost any sort of business which he believes an ex-president can fittingly engage. The analogy between the Yale professor< ship and Grover Cleveland's relation with Princeton appealed to Mr., Taft strongly and when many of his close friends and advisers wrote to him ap- proving his acceptance of the chair at Yale he decided to take it. To Visit Augusta, Ga. The president expects to spend sev- eral weeks after March 4 in Augus- ta, Ga, where he has many frieads and has passed two winter vacations. The News Pleases Yal New Haven, Conn, Dec. 18—The news that President Taft has made up his mind to accept the Kent pro- fessorship of law at Yale was received with keen pleasure in Yale circles hers tonight.

New Haven Conn, Dec. 18.—Gov- ernor Stmeon E. Baldwin was much pleased when he was told the news. He said President Taft is regarded as one of the highest authorities on con- stitutional law in the country. CORPORATION DEPOSITS IN THE MORGAN BANKS J. Pierpont Morgan Concedes That They Total $9,765,000,000. ‘Washington, Dec, 18.—J. Pierpont Morgan occupied the center of the stage today before the so-called money trust investigating committee of the house of representatives. Mr. Morgan's testimony lasted barely twen- ty minutes and was largely prelimin- ary to the testimony to be given to- morrow. The chif point made In today's ex- amination of Mr. Morgan was that he favored allowing interstate cor- porations to deposit their funds in the hands of private bankers without re- stricting them to institutions under government supervision. He said this was a matter to be left to the dis~ cretion of the boards of directors of the corporations in question. Mr. Un- termyer asked L y_questions de- veloping this idea, to which the finan- cier _replied briefly in the afirmative as to allowing the interstate corpor- ations to so deposit their funds with private Dbanking institutions. Mr. Morgan confirmed data prepared by members of the Morgan house show- ingthat sixty accounts with the Mor- gan firm in January last had deposits of $68,113,000 and that 78 accounts on i November 1 had deposits of $81,968,- 000. The total capital, surplus and funded debt of the depositors, Mr. Un- termyer stdted, was $9,765,000,000. Mr. Morgan agreed to this. Mr. Morgan will resume the stand tomofrow. At the conclusion of his testimony today he had a talk with Chairman Pujo and other members of the committee and expressed the de- sire to have his hearing proceed as rapidly as possible. . He sald he was anxious to conclude as he wished to carry out plans for leaving on a trip within a short time.

London, Dec. 18.—The nature of the decision which the Turkish govern- ment arrived at today is not known, but is belleved to be such as to enable the peace conference to resume its de- liberations. % Turkey Gains Nothing by Delay. Considering that under the terms of the armistice Turkey is debarred from revictualling her besieged fortresses, she has little td gain by undue vflalny» The growing strength of the military party in Constantinople may, however, have an unexpected influence on the development of the situation. Russia’s Warning to Austria. The Russian premler’s speech in the duma, which was awaited with much interest, Is regarded as a peaceful fac- tor, but at the same time it is a plain intimation to the world that Russia stands firmly behind the Balkan states in support of their securing all the legitimate fruits of their victory, and therefore may be regarded somewhat in the light of a warning ot Austria. Trying to Placats Austria. The Servian government meanwhile is doing its utmost to avoid needless- ly provoking Austria. Premier Pa- chitch, according to a Belgrade des- patch, has written to the editors of the leading newspapers urging them in the interests of peace to refrain from pub- lishing articles provocative to Austria iand two Relgrade -apers have been seized for attacking Austria. English Secretariat of Conference. In accordance with the request of the delegates to the peace conference, Sir Edward Grey has appointed Her- man Cameron Norman, first secretary of the British diplomatic service, to take charge of the secretariat of the conference. Ambassadors Pledged to Secrecy. The ambassadors of the powers at their meeting this afternoon confirmed their decision to maintain impenetrable secrecy concerning their discussions, but one of the delegates observed that the secrecy. was only apparent, as on the most important questions the am- Dbassadors would be compelled to con- sult with the peace delegates in order to ascertdin thelr intentions and the feelings of their countries. _Russian Premier’s Spesoh. Besides, the same delegate added, it would be useless to maintain secrecy on secopdary matters when what Is really of capital importance is openly and solemnly proclaimed to the world. He instanced the speech of M. Kokov- soff, the Russian premier, who today spoke defore the duma, but the dele- gate pointed out, in reality addressed his statement to the whole of Europe {n the name of “the great Slavonic and orthodox power. M. Kokovsofl's rpeech, notwithstanding the usual declaration of the wish above all to preserve peace, emphasized the impor- tance of the unanimity of the Balkaa peoples and, representing the emperor who is the supreme political patron and venerable spiritual head of the orthodox world, pralsed the civic and military virtues of the allles, promis- ing them support from the mother Russia, who so far “is glad she has not to change the calm attitude adopt- ed at the outset.” Stands by Balkan States. This in plain language means that the “calm attitude” might have been changed in the past, and may change in the future, if the rights of the Bal- kan people do not receive the recogni- tlon. However, it Is asserted that the Avustrian and German ambassadors at the meeting today were most cordial, although reserved. CITY IS IN GALA ATTIRE FOR WILSON’S HOME-COMING.
