Yesterday Miss Sturtevant had re- covered from the shock caused by her arrest by postofflce inspectors on the charge ol using the mails to defraud, and was able and willing to discuss freely the unfortunate affairs of the "Associated College Women Work- ers," an organization of which she was head. It was through this or- ganization that she solicited loans from wealthy women to aid girls to make their way through college, but practically all of the money, accord- ing to the postal authorities, went into her pockets, for, so far as can be learned, she was the organization. Will Pay Q'rls First. "All tbe money that Is taken in on accounts collectable in the adminis- tration of my affairs will go to the col- lege girls," she said. "Tbe society women who contributed won't get any moneyâ€"not one centâ€"until my obligations to the girls are met. If I had not been arrested they might all have been paid back, but now my debtors, knowing of my pre- dicament, are likely to take any measures tbey can to save themselves the necessity of paying their debts to me. I really can't even guess how much is due me." Nothing has thus far been found to show what disposition was made of the money contributed to the cause of the "Associated College Women Workers." There was a suspicion that Miss Sturtevant might have had some financial dealings with the Sioux Indian, Curley the Crow, who claims to be a survivor, and the only one, of the Custer massacre, because he was employed by the soldiers as a guide and scout at the time of the battle of the Little Big Horn. Miss Sturtevant, however, denied this. She says that tbe visits of the Indian to her office and taer boarding place, 614 Gaffield place, Evanston, concerned a biography which she was to write for the Indian. "June Gentry" Puzzles. "June Gentry." the college girl who wrote such flattering letters and arti- cles about Miss Sturtevant, and for whom Miss Sturtevant collected money, is another mystery in the case. Some of the college girls who worked for Miss Sturtevant claim that "June Gentry" is a second Mrs. Arris, a pen name, In fact, used by Miss Sturtevant. Miss Sturtevant, how- ever, declares that there Is such a person. She was asked to tell about Miss Gentry, end â- eM: "Well, she is one of the girls I have helped." Won School Prizes. Fourteen years ago Miss Mabel Sturtevant tub an ordinary Missouri country school girl attending one of the rural schools in Linn county. Her parents were poor and the daughter had no exceptional advantage except her ability for labor and a consuming desire to excel- She got through the eight-year coarse in the public schools in Ave years, heading her classes all the way. Then the mother moved to Brookfleld. Mo., where Mabel was sent to high school. She finished the four- years* course In three years, winning the curator's scholarship at the Uni- versity of Missouri. Then she vent to Columbia, Mc and began at once the law and •end- emic course. In two and onohalf yean she finished tbe thiwe-years/* course, took the final examination and quali- fied for a prise which entitled her to three months' travel in Europe. She spent the following summer abroad and returned to the university In the fall for the post-graduate work. In Europe Miss Sturtevant learned of the win of the late William Brawn. • wealthy Englishman, who left his for- tune to encourage travel and study by students of remarkable attainments. The will provided specifically that the annual prize shall be between $2,- CONFERENCE INTERESTS METHODIST MINISTERS 400 Ministers of Rock River Conference in Session in Freeport This Week. The 400 ministers of the Rock River conference now have their interest centered in tbe session of the confer- ence, which is being held this week in the Ambury church, Freeport, III. The conference is of as much interest to tbe congregations as it is to the min- isters. The Rev. Hugh H. Harris, assistant pastor of the First Methodist Episco- pal church, Evanston, has accepted the position of director of institutional work in the Wesley Memorial church of Atlanta, Ga., of tbe Methodist Epis- copal church. South. Three of the important Chicago churches which are certain to have a change of pastors are Rogers Park, the Sacramento Boulevard and the Wabash Avenue churches. The Rev. De Loss M. Thompklns, pastor of the Rogers Park church, will retire and move to Clear Lake, Wis. The Rev. W. J. Llbberton, pastor of the Sacra- mento Boulevard church, will not ac- cept the pastorate of any church, but may continue in the conference in some other position. In the case of tbe Wabash Avenue church there is sure to be discussion and an attempt will be made to induce the conference to reconsider the action of last year deciding to sell the property. The present purpose of the authori- ties is to effect a change of policy in carrying on church work in the neigh- borhood of Wabash avenue and Four- teenth street, where the Wabash Ave- nue church is located, and the Rev. A. A. Mobney will be assigned to an- other field. The change causing the most inter- est and about which there is the most uncertainty Is the selection of the successor to the Rev. Claude S. Moore, district superintendent of the Dixon district Among those who hare been suggested for the place are the Rev. W. H. Pierce, pastor of Embury church, Freeport, where the confer- ence Is to be held; the Rev. J. M. Phelps, pastor of Wesley church, Chi- cago; the Rev. J. Hastle Odgers, pas- tor of the Epworth church, Edgewater, and the Rev. James K. Shields, assist- ant secretary of the Chicago Home Missionary and Church Extension so- ciety. In the event that Dr. Pierce is appointed to the district superintend- ency. Dr. Moore probably will be made the pastor of Ambury church. Free- port. Ministers who have been engaged in other lines of church work who will return to pastorates are the Rev. W. J. Hyde, conference evangelist, and the Rev. S. H. Wirsching, superintend- ent of the Northern Illinois district of the Anti-Saloon league. The Rev. C. C. Lovejoy of Seneca, 111., who was for seven years principal of Jennings seminary. Aurora, will retire. What Pesole Are Doing Mrs. Boyd Kramer ol Racine, Wis., Is a guest in the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Funkhouser, 970 Linden avenue.

Impressed by the fact that a great many Evanston women will vote at future elections in Evanston, Mayor James Russell Smart- advised the council members to devise some plan whereby the schools can be used as polling places. "In tbe past," said the mayor, "the worse places in the city have been picked out as polling places. It seems as though any kind of an old shack has been acceptable. But, with the women voting in the future, I believe we should procure better places, and I recommend the schools for this pur- pose." The council decided the matter should be placed in the hands of the judiciary committee, to report back to the council. Alderman Bums said that with the women voting all the voters could not be accommodated at one polling place in the Third ward and asked that additional voting places be ordered. Alderman Turnock said the same conditions prevail throughout the city and the judiciary committee was asked to take this sub- ject up at the same time as they In- vestigated the unsatisfactory polling places. The mayor stated that considerable confusion was caused strangers by the street cars stopping on various sides of the street He asked the raO- *m ...-.«. r..m â€".. w _.w<~_ ,-. way committee to inform the street BOO and 83.000 for the graduate of any oar company to have all cars atop on the near side of the crossings. •DM jvA ever help put S. tetherr "No; my wife always a» hsrself aloaje."â€"Judge* Following Inspection of Police Force, Orders Are Issued to Men to "Spruce Up." With revolvers of tbe "pop gun" variety, and uniforms which fit, more or less, the Evanston police have been ordered to "spruce up," as a result Of the first inspection held under the new regime. The entire force has been Inspected by Director Hedrick, Chief Shaffer and Capt. C. C Healy of the Chicago mounted squad. Chief Shaffer "passed" on the men. The inspection, it is said, somewhat startled Capt Healy, who Is a "sticker" on "dress." The first thing that caused the Chicago police officer to wince and tbe mayor to Mash, was the appearance of the men lo winter clothes, with summer helmets on their heads. A cold wind was blowing; dur- ing the inspection period, and the con- trast between the heavy coats and the light bead coverings was vary no- ticeable. But the greatest shock came to Capt. Healy and Inspector Hedrick when tbe men were told to show their "fire irons." These ranged from 38-callber Colts to 82-caliber practice weapons, which, according to one of the inspecting officers, were as dan- gerous to the persons behind them as to those in front Some of the officers were censored for having coats which gave the wear- er tbe appearance of a washerwoman going south. "Those 'gathers' will have to come out of theaV* said Cap- tain Healy to an officer whose coat was pulled in at the waist so that it bad the appearance of a wmaa's breakfast gown. The collars also were Inspected. Some were found to be of linen, others of celluloid. Still others were made from rubber. Some were white, some were black, while others were yellow ss a result of long and faithful fer*» ice. "On the whole the men were fraud to be in fairly good condition," said Mrector Hedrick. "The main trouble was that the officers did not present a uniform appearance. They were slightly Irregular. But all the defects have been detected and the me* will receive orders in a day or two as to the changes they will have to Osaka, Then we will have a real Twenty squad.'*' FIRE IRONS CHEAP. Since the police inspection of re- volvers carried by the Bvanston pa- trolmen, many firearms which do not conform with the specified make nod calibre prescribed by Director Hed- rick, are being offered for sale est bargain prices by the officers. Vise householder who desires a weapon to keep In bis home now has *n oppor- tunity to purchase a revolver at cot rates.
