Women as Judges
In the Courts
Florence E. Allen Tell* How
Justice Proceeds in
Her Court.
From the New York Times.
Florence E. Allen. Judge in the eourt
oT common pleas at Cleveland, Ohio,
who came to New York the other day
for the purpose of attending the anhUal
dioner of the Worn ah t.awjTt'S 1 Asso
ciation, expressed in an interview her
conviction that justice was more likely
to be meted out to women criminals
when a woman was sitting on the
bench than when the judge was a man.
Judge Allen enjoys the distinction of
being, so far as is known, the first wo
men in this country elected to a court
of genera! jurisdiction. One woman in
Ohio was elected to probate judgeship,
and others in this country are serving
by appointment, which is a different
matter. Judge Allen, moreover, led the
judicial tricket, which in her state is
on a separate non-partisan ballot.
“I think It was largely the woman
vote that put me in office," said the
judge. “It was felt that a woman would
be useful in this position, because wo
men would find it easier to come to her j
than to a man, and it is believed also j
that cases of women crooks are likely
to be handled with more fairness by a
woman. The chivalry of men makes it
difficult for them to be severe with a '
woman, no matter how guilty she may I
be, and there is a tendency among
criminals to take advantage of this
fact. They use women to perform acts
essential to the committing of crimes
with the feeling that she will be let off
at the same time that she serves the j
purpose of screening them.
“It is quite true that practically all |
men—lawyers, judges, prosecuting at- j
torneys, witnesses and jurors—are dis- j
posed to be lenient with women, and I j
think most thinking women will agree
with me that this exemption is an in- j
suit to our intelligence.’'

“HER KINGDOM of DREAMS”
Directed by MARSHALL NEILAN
There is a “Kingdom of Dreams” in every woman’s heart, and this
is the story of how one woman found her soul’s mate through a marriage
of convenience.
The remarable array of talent to be seen in this unrivalled photo

possible, a perfect photoplay.

son for this leniency?" the judge was
asked. "Is it because men believe wo
men are weaker In character, or do they
think their physical weakness renders
them easy to coerce, or do men feel
there is something sacred about a wo
man ?"
'So far as I can see," the judge re
plied, “men do not really think the
thing out. I am almost inclined to say
that it is not sex so much as beauty
that influences th* lTl A pretty crlminaj
;s far more like!;; t 0 p,. j et c jf easily
than one who is unattractive—men lose
their balance and fall to reason at all
when feminine beauty comes Into the
case.
“There was a time when penal in
stitutions were such horrible places
that one would have been Justified In
feeling that to send a delicate woman
to Jail was to Impose a death sentence
upon her. This situation no longer ex
ists. at least in Ohio. There is no rea
j son that I can see why a woman should
5 not be punished when she is guilty. Just
the same as a man. Women as a whole
want justice. They don't want more
than they are entitled to.
"When I first became prosecuting at
: torney, I secured convictions in two
or three case* where I think a male
prosecutor might have failed. It is
j easier for a woman than for a man to
say to a jury. 'Disregard the fact that
! this is a woman and acquit or convict
her on the fact* just as if she were a
: man.'
“1 remember in particular one fair
haired, pretty, graceful, pink-skinned,
engaging young person whom I trem
bled about. The jurors were all men,
and 1 thought it would be impossible
to convict her, though she was clearly
guilty of grand larceny, and had even
been found In possession of the prop
erty. In my closing argument I re
minded the jury that women are sub
ject to the same laws as men—we en
joy tlie same protection from the law
and ought to be subject to the same
penalties for breaking it.
“She was found guilty, but a man in
my position would have had more dif-

i Acuity in securing the verdict than I
did.
‘ln granting paroles, too, I feel that
a woman Is less inclined to be over
generous than a man. 1 remember a
pretty girl who came before me after I
became a judge and pleaded guilty of
embezzlement. I sentenced her to a
reformatory. After the case was closed
she asked to see me, and told me that
she wanted a parole for the purpose of
studying law. She made quite a plea—
sobbed that she wanted to wipe out
: the blot and go straight and learn
1 something. She had all the men on
I her side—the prosecuting witness, the
| court officials, even the newspaper men
unanimously asked me to let her off.
“When 1 found that she had emt>ez
zled before, and had not been convict
ed because a surety company paid the
amount of the embezzlement in order
to give her another chance, i felt
obliged to refuse a parole. In was a
second offense, and she was guilty.
“Women juries have been unusually
succ -ssful in Cleveland, and we have
not found it necessary, moreover, to
erect screens for their feet. They are
treated Just the same as the men are
treated, but they take thetr responsi
bility far more seriously. This is partly
because serving on Juries is anew
thing to them, and partly because wo
men are naturally more conscientious
than men.
“We have had women on juries ever
since November 2, and they have given
general satisfaction, not only to the
judges but to the men jurors. It Is of
great value, too, to have women added
to the number of people from whom
juries can be drawn, not only because
the selection of a jury is easier and
quicker when there are greater num
bers to draw from, but because serving
on a jury is an education in itself. We
as a nation are singularly ignorant of
the operation of our laws, and the more
people there are who have had expe
rience with courts and understand their
workings, the sooner we can remedy
the defects which exist in our courts."

MANY OLD PAPERS
ARE COUNTERFEITS
Chicago. 111., April 7.—Perennially,
and usually about this time copies of
the most noted newspaper forgery of
the country—the Ulster County Ga
zette of January 4, 1800, with Its ac
count of Washington’s funeral—comes
to light. The only other newspaper
imitation of the kind that compares is
the duplication of the Vicksburg Citizen
printed on wall paper during the siege
in 1862.
"I doubt if there is a genuine copy of
the Ulster County Gazette of that-date
in existence,” Edward A. Henry, who
is in charge of the University of Chi
cago's collection of old newspapers,
said here today. “At any rate, I have
never seen one, nor do I know of any
body who hag.”
“Wilberforce Barnes, of the New
York public library, told me half a
dozen years ago that he had made the
most careful examination of copies of
the Gazette submitted to him as gen
uine—even to chemical analysis of the
paper—and had almost come to the
conclusion that there never was an
original.
"At the library of congress I was told
they had twenty-six different editions.
The New York public library lists nine
in its latest catalogue. We have three
each different from the other.
"The account of Washington’s fb
neral is accurate and interesting. No
fault can be found on that -core, al
though I think reports of the funeral in
other papers of the same time tire in
several instances still m re striking,
"It may have been that many years
afti r the funeral some printer probably
in the vicinity of New York, for King
ston, Ulster county is on the Hudson,
thought to produce something of in
terest to others and profit to himself
by making a facsimile of an original
account. Had he taken a New York
paper the duplication could have been
instantly detected and perhaps for this
reason the obscure Ulster county paper
was made to serve.
"The trick evidently went well and
perhaps it was this sum, printer that
put out many or the subsequent edi
tions. That is all supposition of course,
hut there is no doubt of the multitude
of editions. Their genuineness only an
expert ca npass on in most cases. The
test s the paper. Mont of these copies
were made before 1,350, but not early
enough to have used the fine linen rag
paper of 1800. That soft paper will e
good for many hundred years yet, while
the earliest Ulster County Gazette we
have already is badly discolored.
"Variations are found in the printing
of the different editions of the same
date. In two of our copies the name of
the paper i set in italics, in the other
it is not. The enterprising publisher
of the newest of our forgeries added the
word ‘copyright.’
"Perhaps the people of the day recog
nize the Ulster County Gazette in cir
culation as mere facsimile. But no
doubt many treasured them up as gen
uine. Every now and then one turns
up In a trunk in some old attic and
the finder thinks he has a great prize.
The University of Chicago has half a
dozen copies submitted to it every year.
We are greatly interested in old news
papers—but we are buying no more
Ulster County Gazettes reporting
Washington's funeral.”

Tithing Will Be
Featured in Campaign
Southern Methodists
Southern Methodism is looking large
ly to the spread of the tithing habit
among her membership for the finan
cial success of the Christian education
movement which is now claiming the
interest and attention of that denom
• nation.
Already more than 12.000 Methodists
! have signed stewardship cards signi
fying their intention of setting aside
one-tenth of their incomes for charity
and church work. The month of March
has been designated a stewardship
month throughout Southern Methodism
and on every possible occasion during
the month the 17,000 congregations of
this church will be urged to adopt the
principles of tithing,
Leaders of the church have made
many interesting comparisons and con
trasts showing just what might be ac
complished if every Methodist church
member would “tithe systematically.
They show that the collection of *33,-
000,000 would be a very simple matter
if they could count upon the tithe of
. all Southern Methodist income. They
say that the lowest wage of any group
ol workers recorded in the 1910 U. S.
census is that of the Alabama wait
ress, 57 cents a day, and that if the
membership of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, had only the per capita
income of the 1910 Alabama watiress,
and. tithed it, there would be available
for religious work each year *46,811,250.
This would provide all the money need
ed for the maintenance and current ex
pense of the church each year, pay the
total annual payment of the centenary
pledge, the annual payment of the
Christian education pledge, and leave
a comfortable balance for other work.
However, there will have to be a great
deal of evangelizing put into the re
maining days of March if Methodism
is to put hti giving on a part with a
tithing Alabama waitress, as the Meth
odsti church numbers more than two
million members. Fortunately, the
success of the Christian education
movement does not necessarily depend
upon their promise to tithe. One indi
vidual gift of more than *IOO,OOO has
been announced before any funds have
yet been solicited, and when the time*
comes for the financial campaign, May
29-June 5, It is predicted by those who
ought to know that the total will ex
ceed even the tithe represented by two
million tithing Alabama waitresses.
A PLEA FOR THE
FRUITFUL VINE
(By Belle Bay less.) %
Why plant an unprofitable vine for
shade when those bearing fruit are just
as beautiful and quick-growing, to say
nothing of being permanent?
I asked myself this question last
summer when eating’ scuppernongs in
a neighbor's yard, and looking at the
vigorous Himalaya vine that covered
the fence dividing his front yard from
the garden. This vine was but two
years old, yet had grown fully thirty
feet each way from the root, com
pletely covering the six-foot fence it
was trained against, as well as the gas
house at one end and several feet of
j fence at right angles to the division
| fence. In the spring it had been a
| sheet of delicately scented white blos
; soms, and for more than two months
j bore large clusters of blackberry-like
j berries half as large as my thumb.
I whose flavor was a blending of black
| berry and red raspberry, that made de
| licious pies.
Bo this year I shall replace the cle
nietis that always strews the south i
porch with ufely black worms whose j
bile Is poisonous, with a Himalaya vine, ’
