'Luxuries and Idleness of Single
Life' Appalling, Friends
Are Told
CONFERENCE ENDS SESSION
Du a Staff Correspondent
Capo May, July 14. "The luxuries
and Idleness of dingle life are. kcopini?
nn appalling number of our youns men
and women from tho greatest duty of
life marriage nntl the raising of
families," declared Elbert Itussell, hend
of the AVoolman School, Swnrthmore,
In n stirring attack on unmarried
Quakers who are endangering the future
of tho sect, delivered nt the closing
session of the Friends' general con
ference this morning.
"Ourjdcn of life is nil wrong when
we educate our daughters to grow up
in the luxurious idleness of inherited
wealth rather than to become wives
and mothers," he said. ,
"Too many men nro choosing the
luxuries of bachelorhood instead of the
responsibilities nnd sacrifices of family
life.
Unmarried Women "Parasites"
"The situation is most ncuto among
unmarried women. You nil know the
woman parasite who grows up in.nso
rltv to which she contributes nothing.
Bachelors nro at least productlvcjn tho
everyday work of the world, but tho
great majority of unmarried women go
through life without learning tho re
sponsibilities of business men or tho
sacrifices of motherhood.
"We are neglecting the greatest duty
of men when we do not marry and pass
on the torch oi our lire and tnltli and
snlritual idenls to a jicw generation.
"Thp Catholic Church has solved this
Mtuntlon by using unmarried women as
mini', whnup devotion to uod and hu
manity leads to splendid results.
"In Our own schools onlv 20 per cent
of our teachers are Friends. We need
trained, consecrated women there and
Id many other forms of self-sacrificing
service.
"This is a call of God today away
from the dangerous Idleness of unmar
ried life to the great needs of our
faith and the world."
World Needs Gospel of Tcaco
In dealing with tho present world
situation, the speaker said: "There
must be a new splritunl foundation for
the woild In which wo are to have n
new civilization. There are hungry
souls In Europe that nrc crying for
spiritual food.
"We have tiled everything in the last
four Vears hrtte. war. force and look
at Kurope today. If we looked for tho
millennium to follow the signing of the
pence trepty, wo were terribly dlsillu-
sloned
"Tho tlini hns come to try love, not
only in our homes nnd our own country,
hut everywhere and to the uttermost.
It is the only hope of the world."
This morning's meeting was the final
one of the conference, which begnn n
week ngo. It wns the first general con
ference held in four years, nnd has
been unusually satisfactory in the opin
'inn of Vr. O. Edwnrd .Innney, the re
tiring ehnirmnn, nnd other leaders.
Many of the Friends left Cnpo May

Special Dhpatch to Rventno Public I.tdo'r
Now York, July 14. Police and pri
vate detectives working npart from the
district nttornev'n office were following
today two distinct lines of Investigation
Into the murder of Joseph Itowne Kl
well, from which it was hoped the solu
of l" mv8tpV' might be found.
TWO men. OOP nf tlinm ont,l ,1.a
iormcr soldier nnd the husband of a
young woman well known In society
hero nnd in the South, nnd the other
the divorced hiiRbniiri, now in business in
Chicago, of n woman who knew the slnln
race horse owner intimately, nrc being
traced.
Love nbtcs written by scvernl men
to tho, wife of the former soldier, both
of whrm nrc said to bo out of the juris
diction of tho police or district nttoruev
here, together with canceled checks of
largo payments made by Elwell to her,
were nmong the effects of tho dead man
found by the police but kep't secret by
them.
These notes and checks with other
checks mndc out by" Elwcll to the former
wife of tho man in Chlcngo. the police
believe, arc evidence that nt lenst two
persons had n motive sufficient to mnkc
the killing of Elwcll nppear to them
justified nnd neccssnry to their peace
of mind.
Pollco Seeking Writers
White members of the district at
- -- .-x... ..,, v.. -ur it
torney's office continued their dally
laconic statements of ignorance ns to
nny View development In the case, the
police were busy in their efforts to find
the men Involved by the old checks and
love letters found in the Elwcll home nt
244 West Seventieth street.
Although no verification could be pb
tnincd from police officinls. it was com
mon knowledge among the police da
tcctiyes thajt one of their number has
gone to Chlcngo- to find "the divorced
husbnud there. Further inquiries in
connection with the two men whom the
police desire to qucstloiv&re being made
In Europe, It Is said.
Divorcee's E-IIusband "Nasty"
The divorce of Elwell's woman friend
nnd her husband, according to tho story
the police nrc checking up, come ns a
result of the discovery by the husband
of the relntions existing between his
wife nnd Elwell.' In reference to this
the woman wrote to the gambler, warn
ing him thnt her husband knew of their
affairs and "is very nasty."
"Ho threatens to mnkc trouble. What
shall wo do?" the woman is nllegcd to
have asked in her letter.
Ah a result, It is said, Elwcll aided
the woman in obtaining a divorce. Inter
making regular monthly payments to
her ns an allowance. She, the story
goes, wns the most rcgulnr recipient of
money on Elwell's long love pension list.
Whether the former husband woh In
New York on the night nf the shooting
ins not been determined and wns one
of the points that tho detectives hoped
to clear up today.
Thnt a man uttneked Elwell on the
sidewalk in front of the New Amster
dam Theatre and later followed him to
his home in u tnxlcab to obtain from
him the compromising love-letters and
check stubs written to the, first young
woman, is believed by many oytljc de
tectives workine on the case. They
were endeavoring to run down this angle
of the nijstcry today.

Under Moderate Selling
''Moderate selling of the stock of
the Philadelphia Itapld Transit
Co. on the Philadelphia Stock Ex
chnngn today, causing the price to'
fall $1 from yesterday's final quo
tation to 10, wns charged to the
uneasiness ns to the stability of tiiC
dividend.
It had been generally understood,
however, In hanking circles, thnt
action on the seminnnnul dividend,
which Is usually declared about
this" time, would be deferred until the
Public Service Commission hnd
made its ruling on the fare adjust
ment. Norte of the stocks of the under
lying companies was dealt ln until
the last hour of the trading, then
Union Traction on sales of fifty-five
shares declined .$1.75 to 28.
Failure of the Rapid Transit Co. to
declaie its regular semlannnul dividend
of '1 per cent nt the regular time is
ascribed by some to a desltc to influence
by this action the decision qj the Pub
lic Service Commission in the fare in
crease case.
The commission is expected soon to
hand down its decision.
The company puys its dividends semi
annually. The midsummer dividend is
declared at tho meeting of the board
on or about July. 10. No dividend was
declared at this meeting recently.
Thomns E. Mitten, president of the
company, would make no comment to
day on the company's failure to declare
tho usual dividend nt the customary
time. He "hnd nothing to say."
Another official of the company said
the board had until the end of July to
declare the dividend, nnd that there
would be u further meeting on July 20.
"If I were n betting man," said this
official, "and wanted to place n bet on
the chnnces of the dividend being de
clared or passed, I should bet In fa,vor
of the pajment of tho dividend."
It was pointed out that the failure
of the board to declare a dividend was
not because there was no money on
hnnd, as there is an amply sufficient
surplus for a dividend.
It is generally believed that the board
postponed nction waiting to sec whut
would be the action of the Public Serv
ice Commission.
C. Oscur Heaslcy, attorney for the
United Business Men's Association.
which has been fighting ngainst the
company's efforts to get n higher fare
rate, said today :
"It must be remembered thnt the
Public Service Commission is now con
sidering the matter of fare increases,
nnd whatever action is taken by tho
company will come to the commission's
cars. While it is true the company's
expenses hnve incrensed, it is true, also
that the receipts havp increased like
