Hi many Influences that war with
fcUan life, clean thought and fine
aspirations, Cornelia A. P. Conner, In
A Letter to the HtBlng Generation,"
la the Atlantic, Bays: "I don't ap
prove," your fathe.-s and mothers nay
noxiously, "but I hate to keep Tom
sund Mary at home when all the other
children are allowed to go." These
parents are conscientious and ener
getic lu looking alter Tom's teeth and
eyes, and Mary's hair, tonsils and na
tal passage, but seem utterly uncon
scious that mental rickets and curva
ture of the soul are far more deform
ing than crooked teeth and adenoids.'
U these children were protected from
ft vicious environment and educated
Into habits of a pure, cleun, sensible
life, there would need be much less
anxiety concerning crooked teeth and
nasul passages, snys the Ohio Statej
Journal. What education needs toj
make Itself worth while Is a conflict
with the vulgarizing Influences out-;
aide the home and the schoolroom,
life has become a bard problem for
the children. They are surrounded by
cloud of pleasures and fascinations
that lead them away from virtue, cul
ture and serloiiB thonght. It may not
make them vicious and criminal, but,
It does tend to make them stupid, in
ane and frivolous. This is certainly
vldent to every observing parent and
chool keeper.
The terrible Infantile paralysis con
tinues to be a puzzle to the medical
fraternity. It Is a malady that appeared
rears ago, but not until lately has it
assumed epidemic proportions. The
disease is an affection of the spinal
cord, though It Involves the heart, liv
er, kidneys and lymphoid tissues. Ef
forts have been made to discover the
germ of the disease, but It seem3 to
t so small as to escape detection,
ays the Ohio State Journal. It Is
possible, that some time this wintel
the bacillus will turn up, slneegreat
investigations are going on in the lab
oratories. The devastations of the
malady seem to have decreased dur
ing the cold weather, but there are
apprehensions that early In the spring
the fatalities will reappear. It Is hop
ed by then the genu will be found
out and an antitoxin devised for Its
demolition. While this disease is
(irone to attack children, adults, too,
are subject to it. It Is said about 201
fer cent, of the cases die.
Relief from the exactions of fash
ion Is aimed at through a petition
which has been presented to the
North Carolina senate, asking for leg'
Islatlon that will establish permanent
nd economical styles of clothing, In
order that furmers and others with
large families shall be exempt from
'the hardship of trying to keep up
with prevailing njodes. No doubt the
object sought Is a worthy one. But
who Is to be the "arbiter elegantlar
mm," such as the ancient Romans bad
to set the pace In "what to wear?"
And what assuranja is there that the
"wife and children of even the poorest
of poor men would be satisfied with any
design on which the arbitration board
should decide? Statesmen In North
Carolina and elsewhere who attempt
to "monkey" with (be fashions are
quite likely to find such action a good
deal like dallying with dynamite.

JUDGE Q'GGRMAN .
CHOSEN SENATOR
Noted New York Jurist Will
Succeed Depew.
GETS THE INSURGENTS VOTES
Mr. O'Gorman Made a Fine Record
on Supreme Bench of New York .
City For 30 Years One of
Tammany's Best Orators.
Albany, N. Y. By an unanimous
ote of 112 of 114 Democratic mem
bers of the legislature. Justice
fames A. O'Gorman, of New York,
was elected United States Senator to
till the vacancy caused by the expira
tion of the term of Chauncey M. De
pew. Ho Is the first Democrat to be
sent to the Senate from the Empire
Btate since Edward Murphy was
chosen in 1893.
Fifteen of ' the 30 Insurgents re
mained out of the caucus which pre
ceded the election. All of them voted
for Justice O'Gonnan on joint bal
lot. When the election was over,
like Democrats of old, the Insurgents
and regulars threw their hats in the
air together and agreed to work
shoulder to shoulder for the accom
plishment of the important measures
which have been Bldetracked by the
Eenatorial squabble.
Confusion that almost approached
disorder and thunderous demonstra'
tions of relief marked the termina
tion of the remarkable deadlock,
which has held the Legislature prac
tically at a standstill for 74 days
10'. weeks. The end of the long,
rearing struggle came in the Council
room of the City Hall, with the legis
lators, packed like sardines In a box,
and with the Democratic leaders
standing by with eagle eye, worried
almost to the last for fear their plans
for a settlement would at the filial
moment be upset.
' A recess has been taken until April
17 to give workmen a chance to re
pair the damaged Capitol. Meantime
the leaders will busy themselves with
some of the important administra
tion measures, and It Is expected that
when the lawmakers reconvene on
the day after Kaster'leglslation will
be put through with a rush.
Governor DIx, whose business ad
ministration has been Imperiled by
the deadlock, has expressed deep re
lief that the warfare has ceased. Ills
expressions of gratiilcation have
found echoes In the statements of
practically all the leaders, Republi
can as well as Democratic.
BURNED WATCHMAN FOUND
Body Where Fire Was Fiercest in
New York Capitol.
Albany, N. Y. The body of Sam
uel J. Abbott, the one victim of the
Btate Capitol fire, was found on the
fourth floor In the southwest corner
of the building, where the flames
ragcd fiercest. It was charred be
yond recognition, but Identified by

A volunteer salvage corps, includ
ing officers of the State library and
headed by Library Director James L.
Wyer, Jr., and N. H. Stokes Phelps,
of New York, continued the search
of the debris for valued manuscripts.
Mr. Phelps, a man of wenlth and
leisure, who has specialized In the
salvage of manuscripts, reclaimed
many old papers from the wreck of
the burned Turin library in Italy.
The State Library School, regard
ed as one of the finest In the country,
probably will be taken elsewhere
the next term begins. The. school,
to operate, needs a big library, which
It will be unable to find here for some
time. Offers to accommodate the li
brary have been received from Utica,
Byracuse, the Buffalo library and Co
lumbia University.
New Way to Produce Paper.
Washington, D. C. Another sub
stance from which paper may be
manufactuerd has been discovered by
a manager of a sugar estate at Trini
dad, according to Consul Franklin D.
Hale, at that place. The new sub
Itance Is ground sugar cane, to which
Is added bamboo fibre. The combin
ing of these two,, the discoverer be
lieves, produces a substance of which
the fiber Is the right length to make
t cheap and excellent paper. He has
msdo paper by this process without
the use of chemicals.
Year Book Coming Soon.
Washington, D. C The govern

THE FIRE STORY
Thirty Women Overcome
Memorial Meeting.

MANY TAKEN TO HOSPITALS.
Recital of Horrors of the Washington
Place Fire Affects Many Women
at a Meeting In Grand
Central Palace.
New York. Thirty women were
removed from a memorial mass
meeting for the victims of the Wash
ington Place Ore in Grand Central
Palace, suffering so terribly from
hysteria that ambulance surgeons
were called to attend them and to
remove some to the hospital.
Over 0,000 persons were present
at the meeting, mostly women, whose
nerves wore unstrung by the recital
which some of the speakers made of
Saturday's lire horror. The meeting
was under the auBpiccB of the Shlrt
walBt ai'1 Dressmakers' I'nlon.
Arraim-ments for a funeral dem
onstration, in which 150,000 sym
pathizers will be asked to Join; Iden
tification of four more bodies, leav
ing hut Bixteeu now unknown; the
swelling of the relief fund to nearly
$50,000 and the effort of the district
attorney's office and the ilro marshal
to fix the blame for the catastrophe
were the chief events of the day.
It is proposed to take the bodies of
most of the 143 victims through the
streets of the city Monday in a great
funeral procession, bended by a
chorus of seventy singers from the
Jewish Choristers I'nlon followed by
the 600 surviving employes of the
Triangle Waist Company, and as
many sympathizing workers as can
be Induced to Join.
It 1b suggested that the procession
pass from the morgue by the Wash
ington Place building where the fire
occurred.
Twenty-five survivors told their
stories of the catastrophe to assist
ants in the district attorney's office
and others appeared before the fire
marshal.
Dinah Lufschiiz told the district
attorney that when the fire alarm
was first given she signalled "fire,
fire-escape" by a writing machine to
the girls on the ninth floor, and fol
lowed this with a telephone message.
Laughter greeted her at the other
end of the receiver, she said. In a
moment more, she ran and ma-'u
good her escape.
RAILROAD REVENUE DECREASE
January Figures Below Those of Same
Month In 1910.
Washington, I). C. A summary of
the revenues and expenses of all
steam railroads in the I'nited States
for January, mil. Just issued by the
Bureau of Railway Economists,
shows, when reduced to a per-mlle
basis, a decrease with resect both to
the returns for the preceding month,
and to those for the corresponding
month of the previous year.

total revenues less oeratlng ex
penses show a decrease per mile
from the figure of January, 1910, of
$18, or 7 per cent., and from the

Skyscraper on Church Sits.
New York. It was learned here
that the West Presbyterian Church,
in Forty-second street, opposite
Bryant Park, a landmark, and once
the church of many millionaire
worshipers known. In fact, as the
"millionaires' gate to Heaven" had
been sold for $1,000,000. The pur
chaser was Frederick G. Bourne, who
will erect on the site a lfi-story build
ing at an estimated cost of $1,500,
000. The property has been In the
possession of the church since 186.1.
$1,029,232,940 of Revenue.
London. The revenue returns for
the year ending March 31, Just Is
Bued, show a total or $1,019,252,040,
or more than $20,000,000 more than
David Lloyd George, Chancellor or
the Exchequer, estimated In the last
budget. This Is the first time that
the nation's revenue has exceeded
200,000,000. Owing to delay In
the collection of taxes, through the
House of Lords' rejection of the first
Lloyd-Oeorgs budget, the two years
will have to be reckoned together.
THE VIEI1K, PRE!
OF THE STRONG
German Chancellor Says Dis
armament is Impossible
ARBITRATION IS INADEQUATE.
Representative of the Emporer De
clares Any Conference on Sub
ject of General Disarmament
Is Bound to Bo Frutiless.
Berlin. Chancellor Von lleth-niann-Hollwig,
In the, Kelchstag, dis
cussed disarmament and Internation
al arbitration, but without departing
one iota from the well-known stand
point of the German government,
often declared on former occasions.
The imperial chancellor saw the chief
difficulty in a disarmament agreement
in the impossibility of supervision of
individual states. "Control over
these," he said, "I regard as abso
lutely impracticable. Tho mere at
tempt to control' would have no other
result than continual mutual distrust
and universal turmoil. General dis
armament Is an Insoluble problem bo
long as men are men.
"It will remain true," continued
the Chancellor, "that the weak will
be the prey of the strong. If any na
tion feels that It is unable to spend
certain sums for defensive purposes,
It will Inevitably drop to the second
rank. There will always lx a strong-
j er one ready to take Its place. We
i Germans in our exposed situation
cannot shut our eyes to this dire
reality only so far as we can main
tain pence.
"The nations. Including Germany,"
said the Chancellor, "have been talk
ing disarmament Blnce the first
Hague conference, but neither In Ger
many nor elsewhere has a practical
plan lMen proposed. Great Britain
wishes the limitation of armaments,
but simultaneously wants a suiterior
or equal fleet. Any conference on
this subject Is bound to be fruitless.
No standard for a limitation can be
found, ninl any conceivable proposal
would be shattered on the question of
control."
America's Attitude.
Count Von Kanitz, conservative,
devoted the greater part of his speech
to American affairs, contrasting the
speech of Commander William S.
Sims, of the American Navy, at the
Guild Half, Ixiiidon. which called
forth a reprimand from President
Taft. with the utterances of Congress
man Champ Clark concerning the an
nexation of Canada, saying:
"While an American naval officer
Is assuring England of the frlend
ihlp of the I'nited States n future
president of that nation is talking of
the absorption of Canada."
Canadian reciprocity, he said, rais
ed the point of what compensatory
favors were to be had by G-ermany.
Of the proposed Anglo-American
complete arbitration treaty the
speaker said that the plan promised
little if questions like that of the
Monroe Doctrine were excluded.

END OF PEVOLT IN SIGHT
Reves to Return and Lead ths Feder
al Forces Diss Govern
ment Yielding.
WaBhlngtonj 5cT Advices re
ceived here from the City of Mexico'
go far toward clearing up the ob
scurity that has surrounded the
situation in tho southern republic.
They make It apparent that the
DIas government has pretty com
pletely yielded to the more moderate
element, and that the Limantour-De
La Barra Cabinet that Is coming Into
power is to be given opportunity to
compose differences In the country,
and that the Madero family may be
brought into co-operation In this ef
fort. The most Important Indication of
this purnoBe Is the definite announce
ment that General Reyes is to come)
homo from France, and that he will
not enter the Cabinet. He will, In
stead, take charge of military opera
tions for the Government In North
ern Mexico, tho seat of the most
alarming disturbances.
Reyes Is In many ways the most
potent personal force with tho Mexi
can people. He possesses at onco
the affection of the army and the con
fidence of the people. There are
those who Insist that If he takes com
mand of the Federal forces tho
Maderists will to a considerable force
desert the revolutionary standard.
Nothing could better demonstrate
the obscuration of tho old Diaz
methods than the return of Reyes.
Suggestive of the possible develop
ments Is the Insistent report that De
la Barra. on his way to Mexico City,
will confer with Francesco I. Madero,
probably at some place on the Mexi
can border. De In, Barra conferred
In New York with the head of the
Madero family, the father of Fran
cesco; there Is every reason to be
lleve that negotiations of much
significance are actually In progress
between the Maderos and the new
lenders.
President Taft's pur pore In send
ing the American troops to the bor
der Is becoming clearer with each
day's events, and it Is growing ap
parent that the moral effect of that
move Is largely responsible for the
establishment of a compromise
regime that may yet restore peace to
the country.
FIRE VICTIMS NUMBER 144
Sixteen-year-old Girl Who Jumped
From the Ash Building
Is Last to Die.
New York. The death of Sarah
Kupla, 16-year-old girl, who Jumped
fro ii) the eighth lloor of the Asch
building during the recent flro hor
tor, brought the list of victims up to
a total or 144. The girl's back was
broken and she had been unconscious
ever since tho fatal leap.
The identification of another girl's
body by a strange arrangement of
buttons on her shoe broucht the list
of unnamed down to 14. There
seems little chance of further Identi
fication and the Charities Board has
made arrangements to bury them In
tho cemetery of the Kvergreens In
a plot owned by tho city.
Assistants or the district attorney's
office and Fire Marshal Beers, who
are conducting Investigations Into the
disaster, besides visiting the Asch
Building, further examined survivors.
Contributions to the relief fund
amounts to more than $fiS,000.
An aged womon who said she was
the mother of Annie Collettl, one ot
the fire victims, told the coroner that
when her daughter's body was re
turned from the morgue for burlnl
$1,(100 which she Rays the young

president Porflrlo Diaz, aged, InflrnJ
ruler of Mxieo, stood before the)
Mexican Congress and declared his
reudlness to concede the main polntu

Trembling with age and weakness,
the ruler, In a scarcely audible voice;
read his annual message to Congress;
recommending the reforms whlcll
have raised the red flag of revolutioil

Effective suffrage for all.
No re-election to the presidency.
Reform in local, provisional and
city government.
A division of the large landed
estates.
Subdued and silent the general
legislature and a brilliant gathering
or government officials listened to the
renunciation of t lie Iron tyrant. Not
a sound interrupted the reading of
the lengthy document, and when the
President concluded a great Blgh of
lelief was the only demonstration.
Ministers, ambassadors and govern

tho end of the present trouble in
Diaz's terms of surrender. The whis
pered verdict as the ruler was as
sisted from the congressional hall
