National Geographic Society Announces Plans for South Pole Expedition, Headed by Captain Bartlett
New York City—Before an audience of more than 4,000 persons in the Metropolitan Opera House, Commander Robert E. Peary, discoverer of the North Pole, was presented with a $10,000 check on behalf of the citizens of New York, but, instead of retaining it for himself, the commander stated that he would contribute it toward the South Pole expedition, as planned by the National Geographic Society. The check was presented to the commander by Governor Hughes of New York at this, the first national testimonial, in the explorer's honor. The audience which greeted the commander was representative and enthusiastic. President Taft telegraphed that he was sorry that he was unable to attend, but said he sincerely hoped that "congress will take some substantial notice of the great achievement of Commander Peary."
Governor Fernald of Maine also sent his regrets and the "greetings of the 700,000 men and women of his (Peary's) own state."
Peary delivered his illustrated lecture, showing his progress, to the pole, and Captain Bartlett spoke briefly.
Washington, D. G.-America has decided to seek for South Pole laurels similar to those won for her by Commander Peary at the North Pole. The National Geographical Society resolved to send an expedition in search of the South Pole, provided the necessary funds can be raised. It is not believed there will be any lack on this score.
Captain Bartlett, who was in command of the Roosevelt, which Peary used on his successful trip to the North Pole, probably will be placed in charge of the expedition into the Antarctic regions.
With the exception of Commander Peary, the members of the expedition will be the same as those who returned last year from the frozen north.
The Roosevelt, including complete equipment, sledges and all, is practically in readiness to be stored with provisions and start on her search of the only big goal on the globe which has not yet been reached.
WILL STUDY PELLAGRA.
Committee Formed in England to Promote Investigation of the Disease. London, England.—A committee has formed, the membership of which includes the Italian ambassador, the Marquis of San Giuliano, Sir Thomas Clifford Allbut, professor of physics at Cambridge, and a number of prominent scientists and physicists, to promote the investigation and study of the disease, pellagra. It is proposed to send Dr. Sambon, who has made a close study of the disease, to some pellagrous area, with a staff to investigate the conditions and the various blood-sucking flies, by which the disease is disseminated.
Jail Delivery in Alabama.
Mobile, Ala—a report from Bay Lake, Nebula, Baldwin county, received here, states every prisoner confined in the jail made their escape with the exception of one man, John Eskew, who stated that he had no desire to leave the place as he was not guilty of anything. Eskew is charged with placing crosses on a railroad track and has been in jail some time. The prisoners escaped their release from the jail by pricking off the hinges of the door and then breaking through the wall.
Castro Arrives in the Canaries.
No Hobbles to Be Used.
NEW YORK City—Beginning with the season of 1915, no nobles shall be used on pacing horses and up to that time the device is to be gradually eliminated. This decision was adopted by the twenty-fifth congress of the National Trotting Association. $20,000 Donation Given to School. Nashville, Tenn. — A prominent southerner, who desires that his name be not made public, has forwarded to the Methodist Training School here a cheque for $20,000, requesting the money to be employed as best suited to the needs of the institution.
SEINE BISING AGAIN: $
Suburbs Are Inundated—Rise of 12
Inches Is Expected.
Paris, France—The flooded suburbs of Paris are in panic. The authorities are doing all in their power, but in many sections they are unable to alleviate the fears arising from the cessation of the fall of the Seine and the promise of at least a 12-inch rise as the result of the heavy rains here and in the valleys of the tributary streams.
Many of the outlying sections are inundated almost as deeply as at the height of the flood, and while the distribution of food among the refugees is on a working basis, their uneasiness is intense.
SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1910.
GOVERNOR HUGHES WILL RETIRE.
Will Not Accept Renomination for New York Governorship.
New York City—Governor Hughes reiterates his determination not to accept a renomination in a letter made public here.
"I have already publicly stated that I cannot under any circumstances accept a renomination," writes the governor, "and I suppose that is understood by the people of the state. Certainly it should be, and I do not see how I could have been more explicit than in the statement to the newspapers.
"Of course those who have been so strong in my support should-realize that there is not the slightest doubt about the matter, and I mean exactly what I have said."
MBS. SAGE BEMEMBERS ENGINEER.
Montgomery, Ala—Captain L. D. McDonald, of Atlanta, veteran engineer of tue Atlanta and West Point Railroad and an engineer of considerable reputation owing to his achievement in saving the mail contract of the Southern Railroad by making up for two hours of lost time between Atlanta and Montgomery, has had another laurel added to his cap in the shape of a gift from Mrs. Russell Sage.
A few nights ago the engineer hauled Mrs. Sage's private car from Atlanta to Montgomery. When his train stopped at LaGrange, Ga., a porter presented him with an envelope which contained a brand new five-dollar gold piece and three crisp dollar bills. The missive was addressed to "The Engineer and Fireman; from Mrs. Russell Sage." Mrs. Sage was en route to Pensacola.
CHILDREN IMITATE BIRDS AND FISHES.
The Pupils of Pittsburgh Are Being Put Through Ordeal
Put through an Ordeal.
Pittsburgh, Pa. The pupils of the sixth ward public school, north side, are learning to imitate the bird and the fish, an art which they name the "wavy swimming." Professor Walter W, Shook has adopted the use of small biplanes in the course, Sara Herzberger, a 14-year-old pupil in the school, demonstrated the new game by gliding from a high balcony by means of the biplane and as she reached the pool she shook her "wings," turned a somersault and dived into the water. Professor Shook hopes next summer to take his human fish birds out to the rivers and ponds to glide from high boats, bridges and banks.
THIS MAN DIED HARD.
With Eleven Bullets in Head, Hes Was, Able to Hang Self,
San Francisco, Cal.-After firing 11 bullets into his brain from a 22-caliber six-cylinder revolver, reloading the weapon to accomplish the fear, Roman Pritschoff hanged himself at his home in Alameda to made the suicide thorough. Six of the bullets entered his brain, and the fact that he was afterwards able to fasten a clothes line about his neck and strangle himself, puzzled the coroner and physicians, who examined the body.
Tennessee Judge Goes to Philippines. Washington, D. C.-Grant P. Trent of Tennessee, a judge of the first instance in the Philippines, was appointed a justice of the supreme court of the Philippines, to succeed Justice Ellott, who has been made a member of the Philippine commission.
Newsy Paragraphs.
The meteorites which were brought from the Artic regions by 'Commander Peary have been purchased by the American Museum of Natural history for $40,000. They were sold by Mrs. Peary, to whom they had been given by her husband. These meteorites are the largest in the world, the largest of the three weighing about forty tons. Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont has invited the negro women of New York to join the Political Equality club, of which she is president. Ultimately they may form suffrage associations of their own, but for the present as many as wish may be admitted to the Political Equality club. Forty enrolled at a meeting addressed by Mrs. Belmont.
Last week every practicing physician in the state of New York received free of charge from the.state board of health a tiny tin tube containing the aseptic silver solution which the highest authorities had decided was the thing to prevent the inflammation of the eyes of newly born babies, which so commonly results in blindness. This distribution is begun as the result of a long campaign initiated and directed by Helen Keller, the deaf and blind woman, who achieved such remarkable mental development and who is devoting her life to the defective classes.
Justice M. H. Kammelhorn of Cedar Grove, N. J., hearing that an aviator of Patterson contemplated a trial flight in the vicinity of his home, has had erected near his house a ten-foot sign, reading as follows: All aviators are hereby warned not to fly their machines over this house under penalty of imprisonment. The judge insists that he owns above his property to the sky and below to the center of the earth. The aviator in question has laughed at the sign, and an amusing contest is expected.
Governor Gillett and several California capitalists have purchased, for $300,000, a tract of thirty-two thousand acres of land on the border of Mexico, between Calexico and Yuma. They will raise cotton.

ADVERTISE SOUTH
WILL PROMOTE IMMIGRATION
President Finley Promises Great Things for the Territory Reached by the Southern Railway System.
Washington, D. C.—President Finley announced that the Southern Railway will, in the near future, through its land and industrial department, again enlarge the publicity and promotion work which it has carried on for the development of the country reached by its lines. It was necessary to curtail this world somewhat following the business depression of 1907, on account of both general and special conditions. It is now felt that not only the business conditions in the country, but the local situation in the southeast, warrants a larger campaign for the location of industries, the bringing of new settlers and a general development work, that is, the resumption in full of the company's efforts to build up the southeast. In carrying out this policy, there will be a larger use of the trade, agricultural and other newspapers and periodicals of the north and west, the publication of many special pamphlets, exhibits at many northern fairs and a larger work in northern Europe.
The Southern has found that one of the best methods of publicity is in the exhibits of the products of its territory at the larger fairs held in the north and west, and more attention than ever will be paid to this line of work.
The south will be advertised in northern European countries by the circulation of specially prepared matter, and by the use of newspapers, in a way that is consistent with our immigration laws and as is permitted by the laws of the respective countries. The Southern has maintained for some years a European agency of its land and industrial department, with headquarters in London, which will carry on the prosecution of active efforts to interest land seekers and investors from that side of the ocean in the south. The most thorough co-operation possible is to be given to local business and other organizations in the development of the various communities along the Southern system.
$40,000,000 FOR WATERWAYS
Rivers and Harbors Bill Has Been Completed.
Washington, D. G.—The rivers and harbors appropriations bill, carrying an aggregate of $40,000,000 as an annual budget, aside from prospective ultimate expenditures of some hundreds of millions of dollars in coming years, was virtually completed by the house committee on rivers and harbors.
Conspicuous among the large projects provided for in the bill are the following:
Improving the upper Mississippi river, all north of St. Louis, $2,000,000; from St. Louis to Cairo, $500,000; in addition to the $250,000 carried in the sundry civil appropriation bill; from Cairo to New Orleans, $2,000,000; in addition to the $2,000,000 carried in the sundry civil appropriation bill.
For the Ohio river, $1,000,000 immediately and $2,500,000 in continuing contracts.
There are numerous minor projects.
ANOTHER MINE CLAIMS VICTIMS.
Six Dead and Score Injured in Ken tucky Explosion.
Louisville, Ky.-Six men were killed and a score injured by an explosion of gas in mine No. 1 at Stearns, Ky. Stearns is in Whitley county, on the Queen and Crescent railroad, between Somerset and Harriman Junction. The explosion took place in one of the innermost recesses of the workings, and expended its force upon the men in the immediate vicinity. The holisting machinery was not damaged, and no difficulty was experienced in recovering the bodies.
Subway for Chicago.
Chicago, Ill.—Mayer Busse has appointed Bion Arnold subway engineer for Chicago. Mr. Arnold, it is said, will be commissioned immediately to draw up a set of plans for a subway for the city, which will cost in the neighborhood of $100,000,000.
Groom Aged 68; Bride 19.
Carrollton, Ga.—The marriage of E. G. Gramer and Miss Ruth Brock was solemnized at the home of the bride's parents, Dr. and Mrs. J. C. Brock.

Makes 1,000 Mile Trip on Trolley Cars
Chicago, Ill—Having traveled 1,068
miles, A. J. Littlejohn of Syracuse, N.
Y., reached Chicago on the first lap
of his trip by trolley from the eastern
city to St. Louis and return, a
distance of 2,700 miles. Coming from
Syracuse Littlejohn has traveled only
48 miles by steam. These were from
Kalamazoo, Mich., to Niles, Mich. The
1,068 miles thus far were covered in
40 hours of actual travelling, according
to Littlejohn.
Liquor Monopoly for Sweden.
Stockholm, Sweden—A liquor
monopoly for the exclusive manufacture
of spirits in Sweden was organized
with a capital approximating four

COUNTERFEIT IN-CIRCULATION.
The Public Warned, Against a Silver Certificate for Qng Dollar.
Washington, D. G.—A counterfeit $1 silver certificate has been discovered by the secret service, and Chief Wilkie has issued a circular in which the counterfeit is described as of "the series, of 1899; check letter 'B', face plate No. 4810; black plate No. 2844 or 2344; W. T. Vernon, registrar of the treasury; Charles H. Treat, treaturer of the United States, and containing portraits of Lincoln and Grant."
The counterfeit inspected would easily deceive the ordinary handler of money. The face and back are printed on thin paper, and between them is pasted a third sheet to give the required thickness. A few bits of coarse and raveled, silk twist were inserted between the sheets. Medicare workmanship is noticeable on the back note where the words "one dollar" in the marginal upper right panel of the note appear to have been scratched in. Other words show manipulation of the engraver and the color of the seal, numbers and denominational figures on the face of the note is pale as compared witu the original.
COMMON DRINKING CUP BARRED.
It is Placed Under Ban by the Wisconsin Legislature.
Madison, Wis. The common drinking cup must go in Wisconsin. Its doom has been sealed by the state board of health at a meeting in this city. By the passage of a rule which, upon official publication, will have all the force and effect of law, the board has taken a notable and far-reaching measure toward the prevention of infectious diseases. The new rule reads as follows:
"The use of the common drinking cup on railroad trains, in railroad stations, in the public and private schools is hereby prohibited.
"No person or corporation in charge of or control of any railroad train or station or public or private school or state educational institution shall furnish any drinking cup for public use and no person or corporation shall permit on said railroad trains or in stations, or at said public or private schools, or state educational institutions, the common use of the drinking cup."
The rule will be submitted to the attorney general for approval before being published in the official state paper.
IMPORTING EGYPTIAN COTTON.
Shipment of Fleecy Staple from Far East Sent to Carolina Factories
East Sent to Carolina Factories
Charleston, S. C. — Six hundred bales of Egyptian cotton have been shipped by rail from Charleston to the upper part of the state in the last few days, this being the first case of the transportation of foreign grown cotton into this port for Carolina liner by way of Liverpool, reversing the usual order of cotton shipping. More of it is coming, it is announced, and extensive experiments are being made with tails staple, which is cheaper than the American product and somewhat inferior to American cotton. It has been found to be practicable for manufacturing purposes and Charleston blds fair to become an important importing center for the foreign staple used in South Carolina mills. Already a considerable quantity of this cotton has been imported into South Carolina, but it came by way of New York.
While Egyptian cotton is now being imported, much American cotton, especially sea island cotton, the highest priced cotton grown, has been exported for English and German mills tail season.
COSTO BICAN VOLCANO ACTIVE
Plantations and Villages Devastated by Flowing Lava.
Port Limon, Costa Rica—Villagers at the foot of the volcano Poas, now in the most active eruption in its history, are fleeing for their lives. Large streams of lava are flowing through fertile valleys, destroying towns and plantations. Rocks weighing 200 pounds have been hurled a distance of two miles from the crater. Villages within the zone reaching almost to the capital, San Jose, have been deserted by alarmed residents. There has been loss of life on plantations nearest the volcano. The volcano gave plenty of warning and before the eruption began the villagers were in flight.
Senator Flint to Retire.
Washington, D. G—Lacking the means to maintain the personal political organization essential to success, Senator Frank P. Flint of Los Angeles, Cal., whose term expires March 11, 1911, has announced in a formal statement to the press that he would not be a candidate for re-election to the senate.
Taft to Help Irish Celebrate.
Washington, D. C—President Taft will celebrate St. Patrick's Day with the Irish at Chicago, having definitely accepted an invitation of the Good Fellowship Club of that city. The president requested Representative Madden of Chicago to arrange the details of his visit with the Good Fellowship Club.
Kaw Indians at the White House.
Washington, D. C.—Senator Curtis of Kansas introduced to President Taft eight Kaw Indians, attired in gorgeous native costume. One carried a shining, tomahawk, while another fanned himself vigorously with an eagle feather fan.
HEYBURN SHOWS SECTIONAL HATE
Idaho Senator Disgusts His Colleagues By Altack on U. C. V.
Government Will Loan Equipment for Use of Southern Veterans at the Mobile Reunion.
Washington, D. C—Senator Heyburn failed to secure the support of one single colleague in his effort to defeat the resolution of Senator Bankhead to supply army tents, saddles and bridles for the use of the confederate veterans at the Mobile reunion.
He delivered a partisan, prejudiced and sectional speech in opposition to the suggestion, and his colleagues on both sides of the chamber sat quietly in their seats and gave him courteous hearing and pitying contempt.
When he had finished Senator Bankhead arose, explained the belief that the senator from Idaho felt better and said there was nothing further to do but to take a vote on the matter. On the aye and no roll call, sixty-one senators voted aye, while Senator Heyburn alone voted no. Only once during Senator Heyburn's speech was there any prospect of any fun. That was when Senator Jeff Davis asked Senator Heyburn if he had been in the war. The question seemed to rile the senator froft Idaho. There were frequent allusions to "the rebel flag" and the statue of Lee. That flag, Senator Heyburn said, he thought was furled forever at Appomattox and he objected to its being brought out and wayed over property of the United States. On the subject of Lee's statue, which stands close beside that, of Washington in statuary hall, he said:
"I appeal to you as American citizens, send this statue back to Virginia, where it belongs, and where it will be appreciated. Do not ask us of doft our hats to it. We will never do it. Take him back to your homes and worship him, if you will, but do not ask us to do it."
Senator Heyburn instigated that he spoke in the interest of harmony any fraternity, and was opposed to stirring up the spirit of troublesome days.
"I am discussing this question in the spirit of fraternal kindness," he said.
"If my words find no lodgment in the breast of any man, still would I speak them."
Senator Heyburn's tirade and the anachronism of which he was guilty, aroused only pity for him and regret for his error of judgment.
WOMEN BECONING MORE BEAUTIFUL
Women Are Gaining on Men in Physical Perfection.
New York City—Women are gaining on the opposite sex in physical perfection, declares, Professor Dudley A. Sargent, physical director of Harvard University. William M. Chase, the artist, indorses the declaration, and emphatically adds to it; "Professor Sargent is right," Mr. Chase exclaimed, when the professor's opinion was quoted to him. "But he doesn't tell the most important part of it—for most women, anyway—that is, that in gaining strength, women are also gaining in beauty. American women particularly are becoming more beautiful every day. I absolutely mean every word I say when I tell you that in no other quarter of the globe—nowhere in the world—is there a beauty comparable with that of the athletic American woman of today.
"English women have been famous always for, their marvelous complexions gained through exercise. But not even English women can compete with Americans. I would say that it is the mingling of the races here which has a great deal to do with this—but not nearly so much as their habits of taking exercise. Nothing has done so much to enhance woman's beauty as golf. But tennis is a good second. And then there are swimming and other sports in which she vies with men, all of which add to her beauty as well as to her physical strength.
4 Lives Taken by Enraged Man.
Columbus, Ohio—Lyman Bolton, aged 38 years, murdered his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. James Larimore, at Sunbury, and seriously wounded his wife. Bolton then, blew out his own brains. Bolton arrived at Sunbury and asked his wife to live with him. She refused, and the shooting followed.
White House Social Season Ends. Washington, D. C. The white house social season ended brilliantly when President and Mrs. Taft received in honor of the army and navy. The attendance was the largest of any of the four big receptions of the year.
$10,000,000 COTTON CONCERN.
Hammond and Sally Plan Organization of a Securities Company. Washington, D. C. — John Hays Hammond and Daniel J. Sully, associated with several men prominent in the cotton business in the south, are planning the organization of a securities corporation, which will have a capitalization of, $10,000,000. The scope of the new organization will be very broad, for in addition to being a holding corporation, it will also become an operating company, and will go in for the introduction of improved cotton gins and other machinery which is expected to have a decided effect upon the production of cotton manufacturers.
LATE NEWS NOTES.
Professor William Moore of the United States Weather bureau has given his explanation of the heavy rains and record floods in Southern Europe. He traces it to a persistence of low barometric pressure over the Iceland area. Similar conditions prevailed over the area in the northern parts of the Western Hemisphere, with the result that the United States had heavy rains and snow.
It has just cost Andrew Carnegie $1,125 to break an endless chain, and other millionaires are beginning to wonder how soon they also will be lassoed. There were eighty-eight links in the chain that dragged from the rich iron master his check for $1,125 to buy an organ for the Cote Brillante Presbyterian church in St. Louis, Mo. The first letters were received at intervals of two weeks, being eight months ago and then begun to arrive daily as no response was made. The evident prospect of an hourly letter was too great a storm to brave.
J. Piermont Morgan has just promised to donate to the University of the South $50,000, and it is expected that within the next two or three weeks another donation of $60,000 will be received from Andrew Carnegie. Bishop Thomas F. Gailor, chancellor of the university, received Mr. Morgan's promise while in New York last week. Some time ago Mr. Carnegie offered to donate $60,000 for a mechanics and arts building on condition that, all of the debts of the institution should be paid, it being Mr. Carnegie's policy to refuse to donate to incumbent institutions.
Arrangements have been made, with London and San Francisco banks to advance $500,000 to finance the planting, cultivating and harvesting of this year's cotton crop in the Imperial valley. It is believed that the land devoted to cotton this season will exceed fifty thousand acres. Gins will be scattered throughout the valley, and a compresser, an oil mill and a refinery built at El Centro. The cotton industry in the Imperial valley has grown so rapidly in the last two years that it is now regarded as one of the most important in southern California. Profits from last season's crop, which was largely experimental, are estimated to have been close to $50 an acre.
A male child, weighing less than five pounds, but with teeth, was born to Mr. and Mrs. Francesco Cuglianese of Chicago. Two of the teeth were clear through the lower gum. The teeth protrude through the gum about an eighth of an inch. All its teeth are beginning to show through and inside of a day or two the baby will have a full set of upper and lower teeth.
Washington.
The shooting and hunting of game by rural mail carriers while officially employed on routes, or the carrying of guns for that purpose, is now formally forbidden. An order to this effect has been issued by the postoffice department. Complaints were received that delays in the delivery and collection of mail were caused at certain places by the practice of carriers becoming ulmrods. Consul General Iddings of Cairo forwards to the state department extracts from an address delivered before the Cairo Scientific society on Egyptian cotton. The decrease in the cotton production of Egypt from seven hundred million to five hundred and fifty million pounds is attributed to the fact that the country is waterlogged.
The difference in the cost of living for the travelling employees of the department of agriculture in the different sections of the country has been shown in testimony just submitted to the house committee on expenditures in the department of agriculture by Chief Disbursing Officer Sappone, of that department. In the south the expense for lodging and meals, as shown by their sworn statements of expense, averages between $1 and $2.50 a day; in the far west, $2 and $3.50; in the central west, $3.50 in the east, $4 to $6. In New York, Boston and other large cities it is very difficult for them to obtain-satisfactory accommodations, rooms and meals, within $5.
Decayed and unwholesome beef, unfit for food, was served at the white house table when Theodore Roosevelt was president, according to the testimony of Food Inspector Dodge of the District of Columbia, at the office of the attorney general before the committee on the District of Columbia, which is investigating food and its cost in Washington' Mr. Dodge said it was the practice of the white house steward to purchase a quarter of beef at a time, and place it in a refrigerator. He tested it every morning by poking his finger into it, and it was not used until it was "riped."
The biological survey, which holds up its hands in horror at the thought of the ruthless slaughter of game birds, now prescribes fire and poison, trapping, and shooting, artifice and cunning in destroying the English sparrow. The survey has just issued a bulletin on the subject. While admitting that the absolute extermination of the sparrow is out of the question, Mr. Dearborn, in Farmers' Bulletin 383, holds that a large reduction of its numbers is feasible and important. There is no closed season for the sparrow.
The president has issued a proclamation granting the minimum tariff rates of the Payne-Aldrich act to Argentine, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Mexico, Panama and Liberia.

AGRICULTURAL SCHOOLS
Prof. Stewart's Report Shows Great Progress Made.
SOME FACTS AND FIGURES
Fine Showing as to Enrollment and the Work Done---Expenses for Term Are Small.
Athens, Ga.-The first annual report of Georgia's eleven district agricultural schools, prepared by Joseph S. Stewart, professor of secondary education, University of Georgia, shows not only wherein they have made excellent progress in their little more than two years existence, but is a document full of interest and significance in respect to their possibilities and their undoubted wide degree of usefulness.
Summarizing the main features of their progress in a paragraph, Professor Stewart calls attention to the fact that since they came into being late in 1907, they have accumulated property with a valuation of "at least $782,000, with 3,083 acres, with 783 acres actually cultivated this year (109) by the pupils, and with a total product from the farms of $16,050 for the year. The first full year showed an attendance of 1,001 pupils. The first two months of the present (1909) fall term show an attendance of 750 pupils, and these are entirely distinct from the neighboring town schools, 78 per cent being boarding students from 107 counties out of 146 counties in the state. No girl under 13, nor boy under 14 years of age, is admitted.
The farms at these schools consist of 240 to 300 acres, much of it in woodland. There are under cultivation at each school from 25 to 125 acres. These farms are worked up scientifically, the rocks and stumps removed and terracing the drainage perfected.
Board for students ranges from $5 to $7.50 per month. The majority of the schools charge $10 per month and credit each pupil with the number of hours of labor for the month at 10 cents an hour. The others charge a smaller amount for board and do not deduct for labor, but require a maximum of nine hours' work each week, the result being practically the same. Additional pay is allowed for extra hours of labor, and tuition is free. A matriculation fee of $1 or $2 is charged and books cost about $9 a year. Uniforms where used cost about $6.
The expenses for the nine months' terms do not exceed, therefore, a total of $80. Many make it for much less. The total expenses of the first honor man in the Fourth district school last year were $51, and of this amount he made $30 while at school. The average annual expense is about $65 per pupil, or about the price of one bale of cotton. The pupils are instructed in the laboratory, field and shop. The pupil is given each week 15 hours of class room book instruction, nine hours lab-

cratory, field, shop and home instruction, and does nine hours' work for the support of the school. This makes a little over five hours a day of school work; leaving ample time for study and recreation.
WILL PRE-COOL GEORGIA PEAGHES.
Plants to Be Erected for This Year's Crop.
Atlanta, Ga—The full flavor of the luscious Georgia peach is about to be transferred to the east without loss. The cloying sweetness of the juicy Elberta, the delicious taste of the Belle of Georgia and the other famous varieties of this state will put on the markets of the east and for that matter, throughout the whole country, this season, just as they taste when gathered, fully ripe in the orchards of this state. Not only this, but by reason of this remarkable feat, the growers of Georgia, members of the Georgia Fruit Exchange, are to be made the gainers for there will be an increased price paid, gladly, for a Georgia peach to taste like a Georgia peach, a thousand miles from home.
This has been brought about through the agency of Manager I. M. Fleming of the Georgia Fruit Exchange, who has so interested L. A. Roy of Chicago, the controller of the patents and representative of the "Intermittent Vacuum Pre-Cooling Company" of that city, that he has come to Atlanta, where he announces positively that he will erect a precooling plant for the use of the members of the Georgia Fruit Exchange.
The pre-cooling process is very simple, and preserves, indefinitely, the taste of the fruit. This process promises to revolutionize the peach growing industry throughout the country, and the Georgia Fruit Exchange is the first to enjoy the advantages of the perfected system.
Columbus Veterans Want to Be at Home April 26.
Columbus, Ga—Camp Benning of the United Confederate Veterans will memorialize General Clement A. Evans of Atlanta, commander-in-chief of the organization, to use his good offices to change the dates of the general reunion at Mobile, so that it will not conflict with the southern memorial, April 26. In Columbus, where the custom of Memorial Day originated, it is felt that it would be a serious mistake to deprive the veterans of the privilege of taking part in the memorial exercises in their own city.
"Dock" Goins Grew 12 Bales of Cotton on Seven Acres.
Macon, Ga—On seven acres of his farm, in this county, "Dock" Goins, a plain, every day farmer and business man, grew telves bales of cotton that averaged 506 pounds to the bale and averaged 14 cents per pound on the market when sold in the fall. Now, he is offered $1 per bushel for the seed he took from his cotton,' and has no idea of letting them go at that. This is the history of a little bit of intensive farming in Blbb county in 1909.

The people of Americus, through their board of trade, are working hard to have that city and Sumter county included in the northern district of Georgia in Federal court matters, and asking to be changed from the southern circuit to that in which Columbus is situated: The change would mean much for both Americus and Columbus, as it would be a great saving to Sumter county people in the way of expense and would help financially.

This company is duly chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has complied with all requirements of the State Insurance department, therefore all policy holders are protected with all the safeguards that the strict insurance laws of this State seek to protect its citizens.
Its affairs are directed and managed by Negro men of the city of Savannah of leading standing, and whose character and reputation are of such as to command the respect and confidence of all the people of that community. The same men that manage this Society are the ones that organized, and are conducting the affairs of the first successful Negro Savings Bank in this state, therefore we can readily see that by connecting themselves with this Insurance company their interest will be in safe hands.
By comparing our rules and benefits with other first class companies it will be seen that we offer the most liberal inducements with the largest sick, accident and death benefits to our members than any other company in this business.
That we pay our claims promptly can be testified to by the thousands of our satisfied members.

The line is twenty-five miles in length, and extends from Statesboro to Garfield, with intermediate stations at Colfax, Portal, Aaron and Miley. Commissioner of Agriculture Thomas Hudson has returned from a session of the "itinerant school" he at Lexington, and he declares this new scheme to interest the farmers and others in diversification, rotation and scientific farming is a great success. He says the attendance was fine.
Governor Brown has granted commutation to present service, equivalent to pardon, to John Robertson of Monroe county, convicted in February 1903 of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. The pardon was recommended by the trial judge, solicitor general, trial jurors, county officials and many prominent citizens of the county. The governor also granted commutation to present service to Henry Roberts of Pickens county, who has been serving a life sentence since 1897, for arson. The building burned was a small shack belonging to Sam Tate, who strongly urged his pardon, as did also the trial judge and many others.
The railroads. of Georgia, many of them at least, object to the recent order of the railroad commission calling on them to make immediate report of all wrecks on their lines in which persons are killed or injured, and to submit subsequent reports giving full details of such accidents. One of the principal objections to the order was that the commission would become a bureau of information for attorneys prosecuting damage suits. There were also other reasons given. Under the national law requiring reports of wrecks, provision is made that no information so given to the interstate commerce commission can be used as evidence in a court. It is possible the Georgia commission also might make a similar ruling. At the request of the railroads, the commission suspended the operations of the order and set the matter down for a hearing on Wednesday, February 22.
State Treasurer and Bank Examiner J. Pope Brown called on the state banks of Georgia for a statement of their condition at the close of business on January 31, the same date as has been fixed by the comptroller of the currency for statements from the national banks.

WALTER S. SCOTT, Secretary and Tr em.
STATE BAPTIST CALL.
Office Recording Secretary M. B. C. of Georgia, Route No. 5, Box No. 47, Hawkinsville, Ga. October 1st, 1909. To the Brethren of the Missionary Baptist Convention of Georgia: In view of the fact that we are to meet again in annual session, in the month of November this year, I have deemed it expedient to address this circular letter to the Brotherhood.
First, Let it be borne in mind that we will not be favored with the certificate plan in November, account the convention; but instead of getting certificates there will be reduced rate return tickets on sale November 7, 8 and 9, from all points in Georgia to Atlanta. Rates of 3 cents per mile plus 25c, with final limits to return November 16th, 1909. This arrangement is cheaper than using the certificates. There is to be an automobile exhibition in Atlanta the same time, and the rate above mentioned has been granted on that account. So when I applied for the usual certificate plan the Company advised me that it would make said rate apply to Convention also.
Connection with the programmes, I send you this letter so that there will be no mistake. Take due notice, and be governed accordingly.
We have learned that changing the Convention from June to November does not meet the approval of a host of brethren. It will be remembered that the change was recommended in the President's annual address, which paper was referred to a committee; the committee reported favorably and subsequently the convention adopted and approved it by her votes.
Let's go up to Atlanta in full force, and if the change is not the best, let's urge that the convention may rescind its action; but, personally, I think the change from June to November is best.
1st. It's a time in the year when the majority of the laymen have some money that they can give, as well as the pastors.
2nd. Every farmer in our convention who is interested in our work could plant one or two acres of cotton specially for conventional purposes, and in November of each year a great contest could be worked up among the farmers.
8rd. The associations belonging to our convention will have met and closed at this season—and they could send by their moderator or representative their annual donation direct to the convention, and through that medium, if properly worked up and given a fair-trial before we decide to change from November back to June, it will only be a question of time before we can lay, on the conventional table from three to five thousand dollars. 4th. Now, we have some white friends who have, and are still stand-

ing by us; and in view of that, let me, as your secretary, urge that we make the keenest sacrifice and raise for printing and general expenses, besides education, not less than $500. There are some outstanding claims which your secretary and treasurer are compelled to meet, because all we have in the way of property stands subject to claims we made for the convention. Should you fail to provide for us so, that we can meet your creditors, legal steps will be taken against us immediately.
Now, if you cannot come to Atlanta, please send $1.00 as your enrollment fee, and a donation from your church.
Address your letter to the convention in care of the secretary. Whatever amount sent will be promptly reported and a receipt for the same will be mailed to you in return from Atlanta, I am.
Yours for success.
Yours for success,

Rec. Sec. M. B. C. of Georgia.

General Grant and other notables
were to attend Ford's Theatre that
night. This caused me. to resolve
upon going to the theatre, aS I tiad
never seen General ‘Grant, whose
fame had for some timé been-so well
established. Quite-éarly in the evén-
ing I started out at the solicitation of
a young friend of mine, Jobn. Danser,
of Trenton, N. J., to witness a.strect
parade in honor of the passage of
the eight-hour aw, ete. We could
hear the bands playing, and directly
came to a point where we coutd:dis-
cern floats, torchlights, etc, coming
down Louisiana avenue. After watch-
ing the procession we proceeded to
the theatre. We selected seats’ {n
the dress circle, which waé-as yet al-
most vacant, and secured “places
«where no more than two. or three,
«dozen others were able-t6 see ‘as*well
as ourselves the arrangements of the
-President’s box, which was ‘situated
immediately across from our position
and-on tho same level. .
About the middle of the first act
the President and party arrived and
were received with loud and hearty
sapplause. Tho band played “Hail to
the Chief!” which stopped the per-
formance for a few minutes while
‘they were proceeding 'to ‘theit seats.
On reaching the box the President
took a large arm-chair in-front and
to the left as they entered; .Mrs--Lins
‘coln took a chair in front and to the
right, and Miss Harris one near Mrs.
+Lincoin, but not quite as far forward.
Major Rathbone was seated farther
back than the ladies on an old-fash-
joned sofa that ran along the wall on’
the extreme right. 2
Aboft the middle of the third act
sa shot was heard and immediately
thereupon, rang out John Wilkes
*Booth’s cry, “Sic semper tyrannis;”
tiot after he reached the stage, as has.
been stated in some accounts; neither
did he jump from the box full height,
‘with arms outspreac and upstretched,
as wo often sce him in ilhistratfons.
On the contrary, he placed both hands
upon the rail of the box and swung
thimsett over in that manner,. thereby

Drury Lane, and although Juno ap-

in order to avoid the bad luck which
it would certainly bring. On the

Sarprpay, Fesruary 12, 1910
_o-pay is Abraham Lincoln’s
birthday. -During the years of ‘the
colored military this day was al-
ways honored. The memory of
Lincoln should ever be kept green
among us.
A!Nonmer of young women gen-
erally leaye this section for the
North. Their attention is called
toan article in another column.
The article is timely and should
be heeded. &
Tr is gratifying to note the num-
ber of our people that is acquiring
property and erecting’ homes.
This isan excellent sign of pro-
gress and shows that the admoni-
tion of Tne Triponz is being
heeded. Before the ending of the
year, we should haye sayeral hun-
dred more of our people added to
the property holding list.
Tue colored citizens are anxious
for the authorities to apprehend
the party or parties cuilty of the
atrocious triple murder on Perry
street. The continucd agitation
and pnblishing of clews abcut sus-
pects bode no good for the serenity
of race feeling. We are anxious
for the guilty one er onesto be
found, given a speedy trial and
l ikewise executed.
‘Tne agitation in some quarters
to industralize Morris Brown Col-
lege is very unfortunate, ‘This is
an institution connected with a
grest church. Its purpose is te
educate students for service as
teachers, preachers, missionaries
ete. Aswe hare been informed
that this institution was never in-
tended for an industrial school and
‘itis only recently that this idea
has been presented and in an un-
authorized «way. The Jeaders in
this great church should but down
the present differences and make
Mors Brown what ;it is destined
to be.
Dorin the week the morning
paper spoke commendingly of tivo
Greeks who purchased a building
on Broughton street at a cost of
$20,000. These Greeks arrived in
the city about five years ago and
opened a shoe shine parlor in an
unpretentious place, and it is said
“that they accumulated the amount
snffisient to make this purchase.
The frugality of these Greeks is a
lesson within itself, and one that
should be imtated by our hoys
and young men. In coming to
the city these Greeks strictly al-
lied themselves to their business,
increasing its yolumn, and were al-
ways to be found when wanted.
They did not spend their soney
fonlishly baving a “good time,”
underminding their health, pur-
‘chasing finer clothes than they
could afford and needless articles.
There are many cf qur young men
who have been in positions to make
nearly as gooda showing es has
done by these Greeks, but they
have been addicted more*to the
fine clothes and the ‘‘food time”
habit; the fruits of which are por-
ety and broken health. We have
often been told that the waiters
and helps in the hotels and public
places, porters on railroad cars,
have made moro money from. tips
than from their salary, [f the
amount from tips were well an-
plied these young men would Lx
come independent, instead of being
in their present condition. Of
course there are several notable
exceptions to this rule.
Tue Tripuxe commends to our
young men the furgality of these
two Greeks, and those of our
young men who are striving to!
have something and be something.
‘The time is now ripe for them to}
begin looking on the practical side
of life and refrain from spending
their money foolishly, :
Dr. Dubois’ letter in The Con-
Stitution puts plainly the indus-
trial and higher educational idea.
The most ardent supporter of eith-
er side can find no fault with it.
The doctor said,
Editor Constitution; “Your edi-
terial on Negro Education _inti-
mated that the number of Negro
colleges exceeds the number of in-
dustrial schools. There are 132
private Negro higher schools and
121 -public, high schools, making

Ebp-B2 rival sctiools: 22,000 Nex
gro childreh‘aie'rocéiving indus-
trial training pid only 13500 receiv-
ing collegiate and professional
training. ‘The reports of the Un-
ited States commissioner of educa-
‘tion will verify these figures.
- - “Second, it is said that ‘higher
education of the Negro is building
from the top.’ Education of any
kind and of rny racedepends upon
good teaching. President Eliot of
Harvard has said thas ‘if any ex-
pect that the Negro teachers of
the sonth can be adequately eae
cated in primary schools or gram-
mar schools or ingustrial schools
pure and simple, I'can only say in
reply that that is more than we
can do at the north with the white
race. ‘The only way to haye good
primary schools dnd grammar
schools in Massachusetts is to have
high and normal schools and col-
leges, in which the higher teaeh-
ers are trained. It must~be so
throughout the south, the Negro
neei|s absolutely these higher facil-
ities of education.
“Third, it is said that some
Negro lenders oppose industria
education. On the contrary; I do
not belicve that any word ‘from a
single reputable Negro leader ean
he quoted as opposing industrial
education. What some of us do
oppose, and to my mind oppose
rightly, isa training exclusively
industrial. We believe that eyen
industry must be intelligent.
“Finally, is it not significant
that of the four men whom you
name as practical leaders of the
Negro race, three have had col.
lege training and the fourth em-
ployes in his industrial school
more college-bred Negroes than
are employed in any other insti-
tution in the United States.”

The Frances E. W. Harper Literary and Social Circle celebrated its tenth anniversary on Friday evening of last week at the home of Miss Rosalie Brown, 518 East Anderson street. The members of the Circle and several guests enjoyed the pleasures of the evening consisting of games, etc. Especially interesting was the literary feature consisting of a paper by Mrs. M. E. Sherman; duet, Miss Nona Mitchell and Mrs. A. A. Lovett; poem Mrs. A. Carson Orner; solo, Miss G. A. Hurd; paper, Miss Sophronia Gaston. The accompanists were Mrs. Mitchell and Miss Hurd. The president, Miss C. Emma Lewis, presided with grace and added much to the effectiveness of the program. Each number was well rendered and heartily enjoyed. Miss Lewis was the recipient of a pleasant surprise when approached by Mrs. Mary J. Wright, who in well chosen words in behalf of the Circle presented her a gold ring, as a slight token of appreciation of her service as president. Miss Lewis was visibly affected, but thanked the ladies for their kind remembrance. Miss Lewis has been president from the incipiency of the Circle and has done much for its upbuilding. One of the pleasant features was the sentiment writing and guessing game. Two prizes were offered and won by Miss Carrie Hendrickson and Mrs. J. H. Patterson.
The decoration of the parlors were tasty. The refreshments served were well relished. The guests each went away with pleasant memories of the evening's joy, feeling honored by being present.

‘That Larger Lenses Are Needed
to Detect Life an Planets.
“It is nob the big telescopes which
are’needed in the observation of the
planets co much as good definitfon,
and that can be had-only when the at-
mosphere Is perfect for observation,”
Professor Pickering, of Harvard Ob-
sorvatory, declares. He also says
that so Important is this condition of
tho afr that he has seen more with a
telescope of five inches’ diameter in
Jamaica than he has been able to,see
at Harvard with a telescope of fifteen
Inches’ diameter. Professor Picker=
ing was speakin,: on the theory that
it ty only bigger telescopes which are
needed to reveal life on the/planets.
“Instead of spending large sums of
money on bigger telescopes than we
now have, a part of that money
might more usefully go into publi-
cations and other astronomical work
connected with observation,” he de-
clared. “It has occasionally been nec-
essary, when the atmospheric condi-
tions are not good—though it is not
usual with astronomers—to diminish
the aperture of even the largest tele-
scopes; and Dr, Lowell has said that
he was obliged sometimes to reduce
the aperture of his twenty-four-inch
glass to sixteen inches, It would bo
useless in any eastern part of the
‘United States to use a,telescope cost-
ing, say, $100,000, though such a
telescope, if located in a sultablovell-
mate, would give very much better
results than we could yet from it
here.
“In Cambridge, when I went to
study the moon, or’one of the planets,
I use a little six-inch telescope, and
it gives, with the atmosphere we
have, as good results as a fifteen-
inch. It is very doubtful if in any
part of the earth there are atmos-
pheric conditions good enough to use
for observation of the planets a tel-
escope with an object glass of greater
diameter than twenty-four inches.”
The Camera Sees More.
‘When instantaneous phatographs
were subjected to a process of elim.
ination and selection it was discov:
ered that there were practically only
two instants in the stride of'the gal
loping horse that conveyed any idea
of rapid flight to the human eye. The
first of these was at the very begin.
ning 6f the stride, when, with all four
legs hunched together under the
belly, the animal was preparing for
the forward leap; and the second
was at the end of the impulse, wher
with legs outstretched to the limit,
the horse was ready to take the
ground again for another stride.
Both of these periods, it will be seen,
were tho instants of arrest of motion
—instants when the human eye could
readily seize tho action without the
intervention of the kodak. It was only
during the two instants of arrest of
motion that the eye had been able
to note the position of the horse's
Hmbs. And these two perfods df com-
parative inaction had, through long
assoclation, become to us the perma-
nent and fixed symbols of, action in
the racing horse.—Birge Harrison, in
Scribner's.
His Odd Charity.
An auctfei! salo of pawnbrokers'
goodshaving been advertised for that
day the queer little man with miserly
habits set out for the sale soon after
breakfast. *
“Always attends “those things
doesn’t he?” said the pert young man,
“yet he never buys anything.”
“He buys, but he doesn’t bring the
stuff home,” satd the gray-headed
man. “There fsa man who maintains
in hig modest way a queer charity.
He hasn’t much money to give away,
but what little he has he gives.to peo.
ple who were unable to redeem goods
they have pawned. All pawnbrokers’
sales are haunted by men and women
who hope to get one’last look at stuff
that was once theirs, The old man
has been through the mill himself—
lost everything belonging to his wife
once and has never got over It. He
can spot the soft-hearted unfortu-
nates in the thick of the crowd. When
he can he buys the trinket that the
other fellow would sell his soul for,
and elther makes him a present of it
or glse sells {t for the few cents the
poor fellow can afford to pay. And
that fs his eharity.”"—New York Sun.
How He Helped Her. 7
A lady who occupied a fifth floor
apartment, purchased a plece of fee
from an Itallan around the corner
who dealt In this commodity. When
it arrived and in response to the whis-
tle she called down the dumb waiter
shaft, an order to ‘send it up please,”
& small voice replied, “You help-a
me pull-a the rope.” This the lady
cheerfully did, but found the dumb
waiter so heavy that several times in
is upward progress the rope almost
slipped from her hands. When at last
she succeeded in hofsting it to her
floor to her surprise a, small boy
sprang out.
“This plece ice so big, he explained,
“my father, he say, ‘go up and help-a
the lady take it off-a the damb walt.

WHITE HOUSE "ISOLATION" A BORE; "NOBODY DROPS IN."
"Sliding Hands and Talking to People is Not Work," Says the President—Reveals Human Side in Talk to Newspaper Correspondents.
Washington, D. C.—President Taft stood before 150 newspaper correspondents at the Press Club by appointment and told of his experiences.
The President appeared incognito in often worn trousers and waistcoat; over the waistcoat a sweater (opened that he might put his hand in his pocket), and a sack coat over all; no top coat. He had started out for an automobile ride.

"I have to apologize for appearing before you in a garb that I have found convenient to wear when walking through the streets of Washington. There are, I suppose, some limitations upon Presidential pedestrianism, but I have not found them as yet, except in tired muscles. It is a very great pleasure to me to walk along the street, look into the windows and pass by a great many people who don't know who I am, and at times to meet a fellow who looks once at me and then passes on without any further curiosity, and another fellow who looks twice, nudges his friend and then, with that degree of reverence that we all feel for high officials, says, 'Hello! Taft!'
But there is in the White House a sense of isolation due to the fact that, generally, nobody drops in. Everybody comes by engagement, and you don't have that pleasant surprise that comes from having neighbors look in on you at odd times and with a feeling that they have a right to come. I don't know that that feature of the White House life can be changed. Perhaps it ought not to be. Perhaps if we changed the system

NO WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC, GOVERNMENT AGENTS FIND
Innocent Women Not Enticed Here From Abroad, They Say—Those Already Vicious Sought
Immigration Authorities Report Indifference of Other Countries
Washington, D. C.—That the treaty ratified on March 1, 1905, for the repression of the "traffic in white women" is practically worthless to this Government in preventing the migration of alien procurers and prostitutes, is the conclusion of Commissioner-General Keefe, of the Bureau of Immigration, in a report transmitted to the Senate by President Taft.
Mr. Keefe not only takes the position that the treaty is worthless, but he adds "that practically no co-operation at present can be expected of the signatory Powers as regards the enforcement of the immigration laws with which some of the Powers are found to be out of sympathy."
The bureau made an effort to ascertain the degree of co-operation to be expected of the signatories. The following Powers were communicated with: England, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Belgium, Spain, Russia, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Canada, Bermuda and Brazil. Replies were received from the majority of those countries. The replies disclosed that no steps could be expected to prevent the free passage from their country to this side of the professional prostitute or procurer who constitute the bulk of white slave traffic in this country.
"The procuring of innocent women and girls for purposes of debauchery," he said, "has seldom if ever come to the attention of the bureau, and as it is the purpose of the treaty to prevent such procuration the treaty's usefulness ends there.
"The present immigration law is not extensive and drastic enough in terms to effectually prevent further additions to the already large numbers of alien prostitutes and procurers in this country, and does not provide adequate means to rid the country at large of those allens who are here unlawfully, and in particular does not reach what is the very root of the evil, the free passage to and fro of those engaged in it." The investigations of a special officer, whose name is not given, con-
Baltimore. Md.—Racetrack mon are alarmed over an announcement that a bill will be introduced in the Legislature prohibiting racetrack betting. The measure will be modelled along the lines of the law put through by Governor Hughes, of New York. Since the New York tracks have been handicapped by the new law the Filimico course has regained its former prominence and the last two meets recalled old Filimico days.
we would long to return to the system of engagements—for the engagements are many, time passes rapidly and business is active.
"People say to me, 'You must be tired—you are working very hard.' I suppose what they say is true and is founded on fact. But my education on the bench has made me feel that there was no real work which was not sustained intellectual work—in writing out opinions; and, viewed from that standpoint, I have not had any work in the White House, except occasionally when I have dictated messages. Shaking hands and talking with people, has seemed to me to be always a preliminary until I could get, to work, and I suppose I shall never settle down to a philosophical consideration of what is labor in the White House until I realize that three or four hours is taken up each morning in discussing—not the qualifications of collectors and district attorneys and other appointees, but the claims of those who recommend that such gentlemen be appointed.
"The truth is that Executive work is work not because of sustained mental effort, but it is work that arises from the consumption of nervous energy and vitality in the rubbing up against one's fellow-man. That is work you don't have on the bench, and it is a little difficult for one who has had so long an experience as I have had to realize that it is work, and who does not feel it until he gets to bed or until he finds himself in some way or other exhausted, without any sufficient excuse for the exhaustion."
firm the conclusions reached in this country that there is no such thing as an international organization having for its object the exploitation of women in various countries by means of the practice of prostitution. The report says: "Innocent women and girls are rarely imported into this country for purposes of prostitution, the great bulk of such women coming in as mistresses of various individuals and subsequently adopting or being forced into a life of shame, and the procurers selecting their innocent victims in this country."
Discussing conditions he found in Europe, the United States agent says the large cities "were found to be so infested with women of immoral tendencies, living in poverty and dire squalor, that they were only too eager to embrace the opportunity of living comfortably in an improper life in this country. Consequently, persons who desire to get fresh supplies of women for their resorts in the United States are not forced to seek innocent women, when with much less exertion, expense and danger numbers of women can be found ready to accept their terms."
"The dance, concert and music halls and the drinking places of the Continental cities were found to be fertile fields for the operations of the cadets, with their numerous groups of women not so openly immoral as to be under police control, but who make it a practice to add to their incomes by immorality.
"In many of these cities it was found that certain cafes and resorts are habitually frequented by persons seeking fresh supplies of women, not so much because such resorts are 'clearing houses,' but because women of the type desired are to be found and kindred spirits are always congregated there."
Tales of easy life and riches awaiting alien women in the United States have much to do with the great increase of immoral women and attendant evils in this country, says the report.
Lackawanna Railroad Has Lost
Wilkes-Barre, Pa.—After being able to boast"that for ten years no passenger had been killed on its tracks, the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad lost the record when a youth, Edward Hill, of Gibson, Pa., stepped hurriedly from the local passenger train at New Milford and was struck and killed by a coal train. His mother and sister, preparing to alight after him, witnessed the accident and were overcome by the shock.

fact of Congress providing for, the sale of a Wrydotte burial ground set aside. The interesting feature of the case was the fact that the woman appeared recently before the Court and argued her own case. She maintained that, although the law provides that the proceeds from the safe of the cemetery should be divided among the members of the tribe, it would be impossible to appraise at any monetary value the injury to her feelings which must result from the disturbance of her dead. Officers of the Court sought to check her flow of oratory, but without avail. She pleaded her Constitutional right, to argue her own case, and the highest Court in the land was compelled to yield to the logic of her contention and permit her to finish her argument.

battle were too hasty in their judgment. The Taft smile may work a little more slowly than the mailed fist or the big stick, but that "it gets there just the same" will doubtless be amply demonstrated before the present session of Congress adjourns. No one realized better than President Roosevelt the fact that Mr. Taft could not successfully employ the same methods as himself—and it is equally certain that no one has had greater confidence than Mr. Roosevelt that, in his own way and utilizing his own methods, President Taft would prove a tower of strength. That Mr. Roosevelt has lost none of the confidence he has always, reposed in the great capacity of Mr. Taft is clearly, indicated by some recent communications from the interior of Africa. Mr. Roosevelt is persistently refusing to give any consideration to American affairs.

away it becomes more and more apparent that there is large unanimity of purpose to promote the success of the "Taft legislative program." The initial movement along this line was taken, as was highly beitting, by the Ohio delegation, which determined to postpone a tempting scrimmage to increase the membership of the Committee on Rules until it could be engaged in without jeopardizing the success of the legislative measures in which President Taft is particularly interested. The House leaders have come to believe that the safety of the organization depends on loyalty to the Taft program, and the Senate leaders are determined to promote it in every proper way. This does not mean, of course, that some of the President's measures will not meet with opposition, but the indications are that the opposition will be disorganized and ineffective, while the organization, well responsive to the wishes of the Chief Executive, will steadily exert a pressure which will insure the enactment of all the more important laws which Mr. Taft has recommended.

The resolutions provide for the payment to these scientists of salaries of $4000 a year.
Washington, D. C.—American railroads markedly increased their toll of life and limb during the three months covered in Accident Bulletin Not 33, just issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission. The number killed is 852; injured 19,241. The figures are for the months of July, August and September, 1909. They show an increase in fatalities of 118 over the preceding three months and in injuries of 2696.
