The declaration of Judge Willard of Chicago that a lie In court under oath was.permissi- hie. even justifiable, when spoken in defense of a woman‘s honor, has di- VIded the bench of Chicago and caused no end of discussion. Judge If ‘ uoEwen, who is founder of the now unions “Sunrise Divorce Court,” de- clared: "Lie like a gentleman to shield a woman." The judge believes in his own dic- tum. as is shown by his refusal to re- oeive testimony in a divorce suit from a man who admitted wrong-doing with the woman defendant. Opinions of other jurists vary. , “A man who voluntarily takes the witness stand to blast a woman's reputation is so contemptible that he is beyond belief," said Judge Marcus Kavanaugh. Chief Justice Harry Olsou,.of the Municipal Court, can see no way for a man to violate the oath that he gives on the witness stand, even to protect a woman's reputation. Judge Theodore Brentano is for the man who upholds the honor of. the woman. “I do not disagree with the sentiment expressed by Judge Mc- Ewen,” said Judge Brentano. “It is an old sentiment and often the woman is entitled to resort to the Woman always gets the worst of it in life. . A i true man will always protect a we man at whatever cost." “I can conceive of no circumstances in which a lie is justifiable," said Judge Mackenzie. Cleland. "The truth is above all else, and the man who deliberately utters a falsehood is .guilty of perjury, no matter‘for what end he has lied or however dis- astrous the consequence may be to himself or to any other person. . “The suggestion of the ‘geutlemau’s‘ lie appeals differently to the Judge ‘ and the man," said Judge Fred Fake. ii, "The judge can act only according to ‘ the evidence presented to him, and cannot encourage the crime of per» jury. There is no doubt, however, that the man who deliberately betrays a , woman's confidence is a scoundrel. l "I believe that any man who vol- untarily testifies'agaiust a woman is beneath contempt," said Judge Ker- “ sten. “Certainly his testimony is not [,1 worth much, for he is a scoundrel. in cases where a man is forced on to the witness stand and compelled to tell a story against his wishes, it is a differ out matter." . "Judge McEwen was certainly cor- ‘ ' ‘ rect." said Assistant State‘s At racy ‘ Barbour. “i look with strong oubt 'tipon testimony given by a man con- - coming his alleged relations with a ‘ woman. A,mau should lie like a‘gon- ‘tleman or a pirate,‘any way you Want . to put it. where a woman's reputation ‘is concerned. if he doesn't he is no gentleman and far worse than a“ pi- " rate." “I do not think it is the duty of a man to pcrjurc himself under any cir- cumstances," said Dr. James 1’.

Editor of The Sentinel: Dear Sir: As a result of the discus- regardlng the granting of a license for liquor selling at Rotou Point, several questions occur to us that seem to have to do with the comfort of the plain people of our town. First, itoton Point is one of the very few remaining places along the shore where the man of small means and his family may go for a breath of fresh air. Men who have sufficient means can take their families to the various outing clubs, where they are guarded against the disgusting scenes issociated with general liquor selling. We ask if it is fair to the working- man and his family to make it imv possible for them to go to the shore without being brought into contact with a drinking-place. and with the men made drunk in it. is it not the just thing for the well-to-do citizen to protect. the workingmau’s family from disturbances, by discountenanc‘ ug this license, as he protects his own family by sending them to the Knob )r the Pine Ledge? , S nd, Rotou Point being beyond the mits of sufficient police protec— tion, does it not properly come within the provisions of the law which per» hits the Commissioners to refuse a license on the ground of insufficient policing? Third, do not young men, especially those under age, who frequent Roton. ‘lriuk there in the apparently more respectable surroundings, when they would not be seen entering one of our :ity saloons? if this license la de- tied, can not the average parent per- mit his son to frequent Roton Point .vith much less anxiety? Fourth, if the bar privilege at Ilotou cannot be made to pay, for a short ieason with the lawful patronage of .he week-day, is not licensing liquor telling there putting a premium on the .‘iolation of the Sunday selling law? [’hc numerous convictions for Sunday selling abundantly prove this. Fifth, why should such a privilege is this, that means the discomfort and listurbance of the plain people of the own, be granted to a non-resident tilll nou'taxpayer? Sixth, an earnest and wideLv-sigued ietition of protest has been presented )y the residents of Rowayton who 'iave suffered from the disorderliuess tssociated with the sale of liquor at Ioton. We ask if it seems fair for residents of Norwalk or South Nor- walk who are far enough away to es- :ape that disorder and disturbance to million the Commissioners to load ipon a protesting neighborhood a busi- icss that will prove a nuisance to ’.ll9lll, as has been 'proved by past ex- perience. Surely not one of these ilgucrs would care to have a Roway- ton resident. petition) the Commission are to set down a saloon near that slguer‘s home in Norwalk or South Norwalk. What right. in all fairness l The Best Cooks and teachers , of cookery have used and recommended Mame Powers for more than a generation. lead for young housekeepers to follow. . CLEVELAND BAKING POWDER 00.. NEW YORK ‘ sion now going on in the local papers, ‘. I A good —l has a Wall street mail in Norwalk or a Washington street man in South Norwalk, to say to a Rowayton resi- dent, "You must have a nuisance you do not want. near your home. because we say so"? Finally. would it not be good sense in man who wants a quiet place of re- sort for his wife and children where they can go unaccompanied, if neces- sary, without. fear of being disgusted or insulted by drunken men, to do what he can to stimulate public opiu- iou against this license, and write to the Commissioners against it on the grounds just stated. We ministers make our emphatic protest in the in- terest of the plain people. who have as much right as any to an undisturb- ed outing. Yours truly, TllE NORWALK MlNlSTERS' AS- SOCIATION.

Consolidated Railway Will Have Much Better Roadbed. The Consolidated Railway Company is completing a large amount of work on its roadbed and wire system from South Norwalk to the Stamford line. New ties have been laid the greater part of the distance, and many new poles have been set, and the over- head wiring changed and improved. Men were at work yesterday morning grading the rails on the Wilson Point road, and repaviug under the Meadow street bridge. , The work has resulted in a great improvement. Owing to its uncomplcted condition it was neces- sary for the cars to proceed slowly in certain portions of the line, and the schedule. was disarrauged somewhat. The west end of the trolley bridge. has been filled in. and a new side track laid into Robon Point, affording a better entrance than formerly.
