Louisiana Seity it Matron Who © Shot Student Is Showered With Attentions, SHE CARRIES A BOUQUET Prisoner Driven in Open Car- , Tiage to Court Smiles and ‘ Bows to Friends. (Spectel to The Evening World.) OPELOUSAR, La., Oct. 2%—Mra J. P. McRea, the society woman charged with the murder of Allen Garland, the Tulane Untverstty student, whom says ghe killed for alleged insult in own houme, was escorted early to- day from a cell filled with cut flowers ‘nd potted planta, sent by admtrera, to ‘the local court-house to stand trial. Mra, McRea, carrying a bouquet of flowers, was driven to court in an open carriage. On the way she wae gteeted by many friends, to whom she bowed and smiled. The case is the most sensational in the history of this section and the town ts crowded even more than it ts during county fair week. Many women in the throng were dis- ‘appointed this morning when the Judge Posted a notice to the effect that [omen and children would be barred from the courtroom. This 1s in an- tictpatton of the nature of the testi- ‘mony the State ie expected to offor tu Prove jealousy was the motive for the shooting. Mra. McRea is the wife of a local @fficlai of the Frisco Railroad. Her vietim was the nephew of the District- Attorney here and a cousin of Repre- sentative H. Garland Dupree of Louis! ana, The McRee and Garland families, who are prominent in their section, had been intimate friends until the morning | of the killing. The State will under- take to show that Mra McRea tele- phoned young Garland’s house to have htm come to her and that sho deliber- ately murdered him when he arrived. It ts claimed the young man was shot | from behind and was smoking when elain. The State will contend that after killing Garland, Mra, McRea burned a package of letters, presumably Gar- land's to her, and then notified the police. Mrs. McRea is thirty-six years old and has a daughter in her teens, Her husband and daughter are with her constantly and refuse to belinve she had any improper actions with Gar- land. The Order of the Star, a fraternal or- ganization of women, has tendered its aia to Mrs. McRea, who is a member. A delegation had planned to attend her trial, but under the Judge's ruling can- | not get Into court. They will, however, | be in a room nearby where they can offer cheering words to the prisoner at frequent intervals. ‘One hundred talesmen are on hand for jury duty, but this panel ts certain to be exhausted as the majorfy of persons have decided views on the tragedy, pinion seems to be divided over the question of the {nnocence or gullt of the | gocused. i ——_ FOR BROOKLYN INEBRIATES. ns Department Gives Land Chari Ki tom Avenue for Hosp!

Yet the College Girl Mar- ries, Says Dr. Taylor, as Early in Life as Do Others in Same Social Set—What Swarthmore Dean Says. By Nixola Greeley-Smith.

Meeteer, dean of the women's department of Swarthmore, which Is @ co-educational college, makes the second declaration. Both the: powers in the educational world belleve that the influence of the women’s col- leges of America will ultimately elim- {nate the divorce evit in the United States, Higher education as It is taught to girla in the women’s colleges, | they declare, means higher respon: Dilitfes in the household, @ higher ideal in the home. In other words, the col- lege woman makes the best wife. | The recon! of Vassar, which limits |the number of its students to 1,000, Is |certainly phenomenal. Not a single | Matrimonial failure among the students it hes graduated in forty-four years! It may be urged college women do not marry as readily as the girls who stay at home. It is often remarked that the number of college graduates who aro wives ts small wien compared with other types of women. But Dr. James Monroe Taylor, who has been President of Vassar for twen- ty-five years, says that college women marry as early and as often as their girl friends who stay at home, “Any one who attends one of our class reunions goon realizes the fallacy of the {dea that college girls don't marry,” Dr. Taylor said, | GRADUATES REPORT HUSBANDS AND BOY BABIES, Each year our girls come back and | tell us of the things which have hap- ened to them, the marriages and births. For instance, a very charming and lovely girl, who ts still unmarr to some poor fellow’s unhappines: the statistics of the class of 1901, elghths of us are married,’ she said, ‘demonstrating that we have no very great love for fractions. “As for the birth rate, there is among children born to Vassar Graduates @ laughable preponder- &noe of boys, In fact, one of the married alumnae remarked re- cently of hen class, ‘We haven't @one so very much for Vassar, as we have very few girls to send to her, but we aro raising a very fine crop of husbands for future Vassar girls.’ | “Some years ago,” Dr, Taylor added, ‘the College’ Alumnae Association un- dertonk to disprove the charge that college women do not marry #o readily as the glris who stay at home. They gathered statistica from sisters, cousing | eading and friends, which tended to establish that between the axos of twenty an | thirty there is a slight percentage tn favor of the stay-at-home girl, but that after thinty the college woman has the | better chance, MARRY AS EARLY AS OTHERS “IN SAME SET.” “E whould say that the college trl marries as early and has a9 many children as any other girl of the same social set, Bho does not come from the clase which mar- ries early and without any thought of the future beonuse it has noth- ing to lose and because it ts just yy to support two persons on nothing as it 1s to support o1 “While it should be no concern of the graduates marry anc nave children, it {9 pleasing to be pble to refute the charge that the col! woman falls as @ wife and mother,’ "he dean of the Swarthmore women's department was quite as emphatic as Dr.” Taylor in her indorsement of the college girl as a wife.
