GREED THRIVES
ON CHILD' LABOR
Beveridge Makes Urgent Plea
Against Ereeding of
Degenerates.
FUTURE CITIZENS RUINED
State Rights Waived to Exterminate
Yellow Fever 'and Bubonic
Plague, Then Why Not to
End Child Slavery.
LINCOLN, Neb.. Dec. 2R. Senator Al
bert J. Beverldge addressed the closing
meeting of the Nebraska State Teachers'
: Association here tonight, speaking on
'Schools and the Nation." He was in
troduced by W. J. Bryan and said:
"Nothing shows how much greed for
gets humanity as child slavery. There
is something wrong with a prosperity
which is so immense that it finally comes
to feed upon the lives of little children.
Men who make money by working In
fants are making too much money.
Training Up Young Hooligans.
"There are. at a low estimate, half a
million children under 14 at work in
cotton mills, glass factories, sweatshops,
mines and like industries. Those whom
such toil does not kill are being ruined
for citizenship. We are turning out, at
a low estimate, 200,000 adult Ixmdon Hooli
gans every year and these become in
" turn the parents of hundreds of thousands
of other degenerates. And so this .civic
pestilence riots and spreads.
"It must be stopped If not for the sake
, of the children themselves, then for our
own sake; if not for the sake .of common
humanity, then for the sake of the Re
public's safety. For this Republic Is based
on citizenship. We cannot sow the wind
today without reaping the whirlwind' to
morrow. When State Rights AVere Waived.
"If everybody. Including the most earn
est advocates of state rights, could agree
on a National quarantine law to- keep
out yellow fever, which does not kill 20
people in 20 years, how much more should
we agree on a National child labor law
to stop a practice that actually kills
thousands of children and irreclaimably
ruins tens of thousands every year.
"To be sure, no great industries were
maintained upon yellow fever and great
Industries are maintained upon child
labor. Business Interests were not ad
vanced by the bubonic plague, but busi-i
riess Interests are advanced by child
slavery but this is not an argument.
We have become so commercialized that,
while we forget state rights when provid
ing against yellow fever and the bubonic
plague, we remember state rights when
providing against the murder and ruin of
little children.
Cut Out Debasing Thing.
"However, the theory of state rights
is not affected by the child labor bill
pending in the Senate. The bill affects
child labor only in factories, mines and
sweatshops. That is as far as it should
go at present. It docs not touch any
healthful employment of children any
where in the Republic. It cuts out only
the cancer of murderous and debasing
child labor."
The association voted unanimously ask
ing Nebraska Senators and Representa
tives In Congress to support Mr Bever
idge's child-labor bill.

PERKINS AND FAIRCHILD
, (Continued From First rage. )
New Tork Life Insurance Company on
December 31, 1901. received in . pay
ment for 2JO0 shares of preferred capi
tal stock of the Chicago & Northwest
ern Railroad Company the sum of
$470,000, and received in payment for
303 shares of Chicago, Milwaukee &.
St. Paul Railway Company $57,000,
whereas In truth and fact the New
York Life Insurance Company had not
received such payments, all of which
: the said George W. Perkins well knew
was against the statutes and the peace
of the people of New York."
Jerome Yielded to Pressure.
The grand jury's investigation of
the affairs of the New York Life In
surance Company . was an outgrowth
of the Armstrong Investigation.
So voluminous was the testimony
taken by the legislative committee
that Mr. Jerome was occupied for
months In examining It. Mr. Perkins
was arrested on a technical charge of
larceny, but that the proceeding was
clearly a test case was shown when
it was permitted to go to the highest
.court in the state Without any oppo
sition from the accused.
The pressure upon Mr. Jerome to
proceed aguinst high officials In
creased rather than d'mlnlshed as time
went on. puring.tha Spring months
the public demand for an investiga
tion was reinforced by Justice O'Sulli-
van, of the Court of General Sessions,
who. In a sensational charge to a
grand Jury, directed it to- take up and
Investigate insurance matters, with the
.assistance of the District Attorney If
he chose to give it assistance, or with
out It If he did not. The question
was considered to some extent by that
grand jury, but was left unfinished
when it was dismissed. . On the re-.
quest of the District Attorney a spe
cial grand Jury was next drawn for
the sole purpose of taking up the in
surance companies. The real activity,
however, began only a few weeks ago
after the conviction of George W.
Burnham, Jr., general counsel for the
Mutual Reserve Life Insurance Com
pany, on a charge of forgery.
The indictment of Burnham and two
other high officials of the Mutual Re
serve had followed the insurance in
vestigation. The verdict against Burn
ham convinced Mr. Jerome, so he later
announced, that there might be
grounds upon which he could proceed
against the officials of the New York
Life. As a result the matter was once
more placed before the. grand jury, and
was pressed vigorously.
It has been said that when Mr. Per
kins was a witness before the grand
Jury he was warned of his legal rights,
but it is understood that he told all
he knew of his connection with the
various transactions in the New York
Life Insurance Company.
INSURANCE MEN COMBINED
Presidents of Big Companies Form
Association for Defense.
NEW YORK, Dec. 28. The Association
of Life Insurance Presidents was organ
ized here today and a constitution and
by-laws were adopted. Ten of the 14
presidents who attended voted to adopt
the constitution and by-laws, the others
being excused from voting until they can
consult their directors. The meeting ad
journed until January 17.
The object of the association is the
"Improvement of life insurance business
by the inauguration of better practices
with the idea of ulmlately increasing
dividends and thereby reducing the cost
of life insurance to policy-holders."
It was announced that it would be the
policy of the new association publicly to
present the merits of life Insurance when
ever the Interests of policy-holders are
assailed.
OIliSCOLl BEATS FREEMAN
CHOSEN TO HEAD MILTSOMAH
COUNTY DELEGATION.
Wins by Vote of 9 to 8, on Second
Ballot Freeman Is Selected
us Secretary.
At a meeting of the Multnomah law
makers last night In the Fenton
building. Representative John Drls
coll was elected permanent chairman
on the second ballot, against Repre
sentative Frank Freeman, by a vote
of 9 and 8. The result was a surprise.
All the lawmakers were present ex
cept. Senators Bailey, Sichel and Mays.
The first ballot was: Drjscoll, 8; Free
man, 6; Bailey, 1; Chapln, 1; blank, 1.
Freeman was elected secretary of the
delegation.
Driscoll was a dark-horse candidate,
and his boom was not sprung until the
meeting began. There were no nomi
nating speeches. The next meeting
will be held Friday evening of next
week. Politics was not discussed, nor
the contest for the Speakership. The
announcement that five members
would support Davey, of Marion, was
not made until after the session.
The only question of legislation dis
cussed was the subject of juvenile court,
which Judge Frazer presented in a long,
but interesting discourse. He urged pass
age of an act authorizing construction of
a detention home, on a four-acre site of
ground at Monlavilla, which had been
donated for the purpose. The home would
cost between J5000 and $S00 he said and
was much needed for correction of Juve
nile culprits. He suggested that in sev
eral other counties which desire juvenile
courts, the County Clerk be made the
presiding officer. Judge Frazer advised
that the office -of probation officer be
created, at a salary of tlsQ a month, and
that three deputies be authorized, one
of them to be a Deputy Sheriff. He sug
gested also that a Deputy District At
torney be detailed to the juvenile court.
He recommended farther that the maxi
mum age of juvenile offenders, subject to
the jurisdiction of the court be raised
from 16 to 18 years.
The lawmakers were favorably im
pressed with Judge Frazer's recommen
dations. Changes were made In the original
printed draft of the bank law of the
Oregon Bankers' Association yester
day by the executive committee of the
association, in response to criticisms
of the bill by members of the associa
tion to the effect that the salary of
the Bank Examiner be made $3000 a
year instead of $2400.
Tne cash " reserve requirement In
cities of more than 50,300 population
was raised from 15 to 25 per cent of
deposits, but one-half ot the reserve
may consist of balances due from sol
vent banks.
The limit put on value of real es
tate which a bank may hold for Its
business was reduced to 25 per cent
of Its paid in capital surplus and un
divided profits, from 50 per cent.
The State Treasurer instead of. the
bank examiner was made the collector
of the fees from the banks, and the fees
are to be turned into the general fund.
The fees were made the same as
those for National banks.
Tho sum of - $10,000, appropriated
from the general fund, was authorized
to defray the expenses of the office
of bank examiner.
Directors were required to examine
and approve loans every 90 days.
Other alterations were made as to
phraseology simply for clearer diction.
The framers ot the bill and the executive
committee think the bill a good one that
will stand the test in the Legislature.
The request of foreign banks for modifi
cation of the section that limits the loan
that can be made to a single corporation
or individual, of 25 per cert of aggregate
capital surplus and undivided profits, was
not granted.
Among those present at the meeting
were E. W. Haines, president of the as
sociation, and J. L. Hartman, secretary;
M. S. Woodstock, of Corvallis: J. H.
AJbcrt. Jr.. of Salem, and H. Hirschberg,
of Independence.

JOHN BULL RESTIVE
Tired of Waiting for Bryce to
BeAccepted.
HAS SHOWN HAND TOO SOON
Violated Precedent in Announcing
Choice of Ambassador Durand
and Bryce Both May Scorn
Title of Lord.
LONDON. Dec. 28. The United States
is causing British officialdom much em
barrassment through its failure to send
in Its acceptance of the appointment of
James Bryce as Ambassador to Washing
ton. This must be received before the of
ficial announcement of the appointment
can be made.
The appointment has been admitted by
the Foreign Office and Mr. Bryce has an
nounced It In a letter to his constituents,
'but the proclamation Is lying on a desk
awaiting a cablegram from Washington.

MR. AND MRS. JONATHAN 3. EASTMAN..
CLATSKANIE. Or., Dec. 28. Mr. and Mrs.Jonathan J. Eastman celebrated
their golden weddlns at their home In Clatskanie today. Their children, Arthur'
Eastman and L. B. ' Eastman, of Clatskanie. and Mrs. Joseph Maxwell, of Rai
nier, were present, also grandchildren and great-grandchildren and about 80 neigh
bors and friends.
Jonathan Eastman was born in Cleveland, O., and Mrs. Eastman in Indiana.
They were pioneers in "Wisconsin, where they were married BO years ago today.
Later they were pioneers In Colorado and in 1873 came to Oregon, where they
have resided since, except nine years they spent in Florida. Mr. Eastman was
in the mercantile business before the wsr. but was mustered out as one of the
Wisconsin regulars during the Civil War. After the war they spent a few years
mining in Colorado. '
special gazette will be issued' and formal
.information aent to the press. The pres
ent occurrence is most unusual in Great
Britain, where it is very rare for an
appointment of this kind to be made
public until its publication in the ga
zette. While It is known'what the Cabinet will
decide, it is pointed out that, although
Sir Henry Durand is retiring from Wash
ington, 1t does not necessarily follow that
he will entirely sever his connection, with
the Imperial Service.
"There is no diplomatic position open at
present." said an official today, "but
there are many posts for which Sir Henry
is admirably suited, and It is more
likely that he will take one of these
rather than go to the House of Lords.
"Nothing has been decided In the mat
ter of a peerage for James Bryce and In
this case also the general belief Is that
he will continue to be plain Mr. Bryce,
both because of his own inclination and
because of the opinion that Americans
would prefer it."
BRYCE IS QUITE ACCEPTABLE
Roosevelt Sent Word Both in Writing
and by Durand.
WASHINGTON, Pec. 28. When shown
the cablegram from London saying that
the British government Is embarrassed by
the failure of the United States to send
an acceptance of the appointment of
James Bryce as Ambassador to the
United States, Secretary Root said:
"The British government was notified
both orally (through Ambassador Du
rand) and In writing several days ago
that the appointment of Mr. Bryce would
be eminently satisfactory to this Govern
ment." It was announced, in Washington dis
patches a week ago that In response to
inquiries from the British government
President Roosevelt had indicated that
Mr. Bryce's appointment would be en
tirely acceptable. -
HEARTY FAREWELL TO DURAND
Cabinet Ministers and ' Diplomats
Pay Unusual Compliment.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28. Rumors that
Sir Mortimer Durand was not popular in
Washington were doubly discredited to
day by the farewell given to the retiring
British Ambassador and his family. Sec
retaries Root. Taft and Metcalf and As
sociate Justice Moody paid Sir Mortimer
an unusual compliment by going to the
railway fetation and joining the members
of the diplomatic corps In saying good
bye to the Ambassador and his family.
The German. French, Austro-Hungar-lan.
Italian, Russian, Japanese and Bra
zilian Ambassadors were the most promi

NEILL STRIVES FOR PEACE
Finds Many Obstacles to Ending
Firemen's Strike.
HOUSTON, Tex., Dee. 28. The efforts
of United States Commissioner of Labor
Neill to settle the strike -ot the Southern
Pacific Railway firemen have so far been
without success. Several conferences were
today participated In- by Mr. Neill and
the railway company, its firemen and the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
and so confident was Mr. Neill of being
able to bring the parties to an agree
ment that he stated early In the night
that the strike would be settled before
morning.
He found, however, many complications
In the contentions of the engineers and
firemen as to the right to the regulation
of the seniority list of the switch en
gineers, members of the Firemen's Bro
therhood, and It was on this point, the
very essence of the trouble, that the fail
ure to get the parties together occurred.
Mr. Neill will take the matter up again
tomorrow. .

DUNNE REBUKES GRAHAM
Incensed at Alleged Interference In
Schmitz-Ruef Case.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 28. Judge
Dunne today auministered a. remark
able rebuke to Presiding Judge Gra
ham when he learned that the latter
is prepared to consider the motion of
the attorneys for Mayor Schmltz to
have his case transferred to another
court. Judge Dunne not only directly
accused Graham of interfering with
tho business of his department, but de
clared with an air of finality that If
the Schmltz case is taken away from
him the Ruef case must go with it.
On that account he continued the
procedeings Joking to the setting aside
of tho indictments against Kuef until
Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, at
which time Judge Graham will have
made It evident whether he intends to
slice the Ruef-Schmitz case in half. In
passing on the matter. Judge Dunne
said:
"I am not unfamiliar with the tac
tics employed by counsel defending the
co-defendant here, and I have also no
ticed that they invariably appeal to
Judge Graham as a man of large sym
pathies and generous Impulses. That
the Judge has found it necessary and
proper to interfere in the past with
the orderly conduct of this court and
In that connection, and in connection
with the proceedings now before this
court, it seems to me that I ought not
to bo called upon to do an idle and
useless thing. In other wordB. I ought
not to be compelled to proceed with
this Inquiry In the present condition,
because if the application of the coun
sel should appeal to Judge Graham. I
want It understood that ' both cases
will be sent to him. I cannot proceed
under the very circumstances of the
case with the hearing of this matter
with regard to the Defendant Ruef,
and I would not feel justified in so
doing. I submit the matter to you.
You have my views."
Judge Graham today postponed, until
Monday morning, the hearing of Mayor
Schmitx' motion for a transfer of his
Indictment case from Judge Dunne's
court to some other department of the
Superior court. The postponement was
ordered after a bitter Interchange of
words by the attorneys, and at the re
quest of Assistant District Attorney
Hiram Johnson, who desires to file coun
ter affidavits.

Professor's Criticism
on Athletes.

Phillips Gives Result ot Investiga
tion Hetherington Proposes Ath
letics as Means of Educa
tion, Not as Sport.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Dec. 28. Two
discussions of importance regarding
college athletics occupied the ses
sions of the' American Physical Educa
tion Association today. The first arose
over a paper by Clark W. Hethering
ton of the University of Missouri on
"The Place of Athletics in the Educa
tion of College Men."
He called attention to the evil ef
fects of football and other contests
when carried on exclusively with the
idea of pleasing the spectators, and
said that college Siirectors should In
sist that athletics be conducted as a
means of education rather than a con
tribution to tho "sporting" life of the
country.
Dr. Paul J. Phillips of Amherst pre
sented the report of several years'
special investigation into scholarship
of college athletes at Amherst. His
facts showed that varsity athletes at
Amherst for the last 18 years have
averaged 4 per cent lower in their
studies than the others. Dr. Phillips
neld that this was caused by the ex
haustive efforts required in competi
tive athletics.
