Call for order were frequent. Alan was called unjust and discriminating: by some and was upheld by others. Or der was called repeatedy; hisses were heard. Mrs. Bergrer. wife of one of the men who had been implicated in the cases, got the floor protesting: that her husband had been innocent and that spite had instigated the charges against him. She was rapped to order and a motion was made that speakers be al lowed but two minutes each. vv hen the resolution had been adopt ed Mrs. Sharp appointed a committee to Investigate the points o law gov erning tne action of Judge AicUlnn.

MUNICIPAL LEAGUE MEETS THIS WEEK Commissioner Brewster to Be One of Speakers at Seat tle on Tuesday. PROMINENT MEN ON LIST Although women of the Civic League, clubwomen and women not affiliated with any organizations entered vig orous protests yesterday to the clos Ing of the doors -of Judge McGinn's court to any but court officers during the progress of the trials of baseball players and others for offenses against young girls, the Judge will keep the public out and the unwholesome de tails in. He said last night he would' not change his attitude, that the partic ulars that must be told during the progress of the trials are not for the public ear. Other trials in the series which start this week also will be held behind closed doors. "When a girl has a past, as in these cases," said Judge McGinn, "the re volting story shall not be told in pub Forced Ont. Two women tried to gain entrance to the courtroom yesterday morning but were pointedly requested to leave the room and the trial of Robert Davis pro ceeded. Testerday women held a mass 'meet ing and adopted, a resolution against Judge McGinn's action. The Civic League at luncheon discussed it and appointed a committee. Judge McGinn holds to his original stand that to make public trials of this sort Is to outrage public decency. After a stormy session of impassioned addresses and repeated calls to order, the mass meeting of women held yester day In Library Hall for the purpose of protesting the action of Judge McGinn, finally adopted the following resolu tlon: "Whereas, by the decision of one of our juages, women wnose auties as or ficials and protectors of women and children were debarred from being present wnen a case of moral delin quency requiring a girl or 1 to be a witness, was tried; therefore, be It .Resolved, That, as representative women assemoiea in tms mass meet ing, we protest against such action and demand that wherever women are to be tried or are to appear as wit nesses, there women may also be per- Mrs. Baldwin Reports. Mrs. M. L. T. Hidden read the reso lution, which was adopted. Mrs. Jose phine R. Sharp, president of the Wom en s Political Science Club, presided and Miss Grace De Graft, National president of the League of Grade Teachers, served as secretary. Repre sentatives from many women's clubs and organizations were present and the Indorsement of a large number of col legiate alumnae women was sent in and announced. Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin reported her ex perience in accompanying the girl. Mar. garet Frykman, to the courtroom and of having been asked to leave. "I note that Judge McGinn has said that if we want to get Into the court room we will have to use militant methods," said Mrs. Baldwin. "Person ally I shall never resort to such meth ods. I shall go when I am told to go. I was brought up In the old school. believed that Judges were righteous before I became a social worker. We must go very carefully in this mat ter." Girl's Nervousness Cited. Dr. Miriam Van Waters said she had attended the girl and had found her in a nervous state and with a high tem perature and that it seemed her duty when the girl did go . to court to ac company her. She spoke of the girl as a child, referring to her frankness and braveness before the trial and. of her crushed and forlorn appearance after being grilled before the 24 men for three hours and a -half without one woman to stand by her. Dr. "Van Waters said that the effect of that trial would be a bad Influence on the girl's attitude toward the world Jorever. "The girl is fourteen and a grade student," said Dr. Van Waters. "Her mother is a foreigner and she didn't understand conditions. The man was 29 and married. He Is free. Shall we let girls go into courtrooms alone? Shall we submit to, this eoclal iniquity?" Action Termed Shame. A half dozen women rose at once. Mrs.' Hidden was granted the floor. "I have often been indignant over things that happened in the courts," she said. "Let us take action now that we are voters and see that such a thing never happens again. It is a shame and a disgrace to civilization that we allow any woman, bad or good, to stand alone. Women must stand by each other. Every 14-year-old girl who falls into the clutches of a married man is wronged, I don't care what her past was. It is up to ua to Improve conditions. In this ease the thing to do is to protest. Let us take action and send forth a resolution." "Take it with a mass meeting of women to Judge McGinn tomorrow,' eaid Mrs. Mary L. Stevens. "Tomorrow's Sunday," put in some one else. "Then take It Monday," said Mrs. Btevens. "Take along a hatchet," suggested someone In the rear of the hall. Tom Bwu "Butts In." "Question," called another. "Is Judge McGinn on trial here?" asked Mrs. J. R. Oatman. "Mrs. Baldwin la condemning him for what she herself did in the Lillie Larkins case." Just then a mere man "butted" Into the meeting. He was Tom Burns, who Etarted to abuse Judge McGinn. He was silenced by the chair. Mrs. A- 3. Clark, who began to tell of her troubles, was "called down" for not sticking to the topic in hand. Mrs. Emma Carroll suggested that the women were assembled not to try Judge McGinn, but a principle. Dr. Marie Equl said that the experience of the girl in the case would destroy her moral perception and that the double standard of morality was at the bot tom of the whole question. Mrs. W. J. Hawkins said it was a crime to consider a girl of 14 a woman and that she should be treated as child. Mrs. Carroll, who spoke again eaid that the court should allow women reporters to report such cases: that friend or a good woman should be with the person that is a witness, but that she was opposed to encouraging the opening of courts to maudlin curiosity seekers. "We women wanted a representative at this and like trials. Mrs. Baldwin is our representative. If she isn't sat isfactory, let's get another," said Mrs. Carroll. Every Side Dlinucd.

STATE COLLEGE. Pullman. Wash., Nov. 7. (Special.) The 80-year history of a IS-acre tract on the state (arm at Pullman elves eloquent testimony in behalf of the type of farming- which includes the elimination of Summer- fallow, and the alternation of legumin ous crops, such as alfalfa, clover, and peas, with the cereals nariey, corn. wheat, or oats, ifarmed in tnis way, nroducine a crop annually for 19 con secutive seasons, this tract, according: to the records kept of the yields, has increased in producing power, at least 40 per cent. In 1894, the year following- tho reor ganization of the State College, the ground was plowed in the Bummer, and allowed to lie idle that year. In 1896 and 1897, wheat was produced, running 24 bushels to the acre the latter year, and slightly better the former. In 1898, oats went in, producing 3S bush els to the acre. During the years to and" Including 1902, wheat, oats, barley and corn were produced, the yields ex ceeding only slightly the yields of the surrounding country tne difference heiner that on the Btate farm, the pro auction was annual, while on most of the surrounding farms, it was "bien nial" the land lying in bare fallow the alternate year. In the year 1908, the tract was sown to clover, which stayed en. for three years, producing the first year, one ton an acre, and the two following, a trifle over two tons an acre. Peas fol lowed, the clover, corn followed the peas, and In 1910, a heavy oat crop was grown, wheat had Its turn in 1911, running 47 bushels to the acre. Peas came on again in 1912, making 40 bushels to the acre; wheat again In 1918, making 46 bushels: and the pres ent year, 1914, one of the driest grow ing seasons in the whole 20-year period, 76 bushels of oats to the acre were produced.

Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair dis appears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage ami Sulphur Is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications. It also produces that soft lustre and appear ance of abundance which is so at tractive: besides, prevents dandruff. Itching scalp and falling hair. Adv.
