In Portland, of late. Interest has cen
tered about tha movement for play
grounds. Many circles are circulating
petitions and taking other steps to ob
tain play places near enough to schools
to be utilised by them, but also so lo
cated as to accommodate thickly set
tled sections that are too far away
from tha public parka to be directly
benefited by them. The co-operation
of the Park Board and the School Board
In thla endeavor ta appreciated, by tha
Congress.
The Congress haa been giving to tha
mothers of the city free lectures on
health as part of tha Winter's pro
gramme. Each school circle arranges
for speakera and other Interesting fea
tures for Its monthly meeting. Often
teachers and pupils have tha .pro
gramme In charge. The principals of
tha schools, almost without exception,
are In sympathy with tha work, and
some of the best addresses delivered

ministration for one reason or another,
threw Ita votes to the Socialists.

- In Berkely the election of J. Stltt
Wilson aa Mayor waa somewhat dif
ferent, although many of the aama
elements of discord wer prese-nt.
Beverly Hodges was the leader of the
conservatives, but though he had prom
ised many reform, such as municipal
ownership or reduction In the cost of
gas. water and electricity, ha had made
no move. Then also the "party, organ
ization" which he had overcome two
years before, was waiting for a chance
to crack him over the head. That
opportunity came to light with tha
nomination of Wilton, who, though a
Socialist. Is by no mean of the radical
wing of the party.
The "gang" leaders probed tha situation.-
They" decided first of all to
humiliate Hodges and they figured
that the best way to bring that about
waa by throwing their strength to Wil
son. The students at tha university
who cast no small part of the vot of
Berkeley, were considered. Many of
them are students of "Isms" and
"olbgles" men who are not permanent
residents of Berkeley, but wanted to
see a change and welcomed the oppor
tunity to se what a Socialist could do
In office.
Wilson, who Is an orator of no mean
ability and a campaigner ' of many
years' experlenc. talked convincingly
of reduction that ha would make In
th profits of quasi-public corporations,
won over to his side the working ele
ment and those who ' figured that a
change might do them good. Wilson
waa elected without an additional
election, since he secured the neces
sary majority over Hodges that the
Berkeley charter provides Is necessary.
But Socialism, so declare careful
atudenta of tha situation, la far from
being Installed In California.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa.. April 23. (Spe

noted as a scholar snd scientist through
out the world and for years head of the
department of English at Notre Dam
I'nlverslty. has applied for a divorce
from hi beautiful young wife. The suit
will be tried tomorrow. v
All of Dr. O'Malley'a more . serious
charges ha substantlatea with court rec

waa Miss Aline Ellin, one of San Fran
Cisco's beautiful girls, while she was a
pupil at Notre Dame and he was in
structor. Following their honeymoon the couple
took up their residence at South Bend,
lnd., and Dr. O'Malley resumed his work
of Instruction. He had only, been mar
lied a few months when he waa taken

that minute doses of arsenic were being
administered to Dr. O'MaCey. '
After hovering between life and death
for aeveral weeka at a local hospital
Dr. O'Malley eventually recovered and
sent to South Bend for his wife. They
apparently became reconciled and took
up their residence at th horn of Dr.
Joseph O'Malley. a brother of the acl

It was not long before the detective

for the lost Jewelry.
When Mrs. O'Malley was arrested and
charged with the theft of the Jewels

WASHINGTON'. April 21-(Speclal.)
From Information collected by the Cen
sus Bureau, on the population schedules
of the Twelfth United States census In
1M0, Dr. J. A. Hill, chief statistician of
the Division of Revision and Results of
the Census Bureau, has prepared for tha
Immigration Commission a report on the
rat of th birth of children to Immi
grant women. In a published abstract of
which the conclusions are drawn that
this birthrate is much greater among
th married whit women of foreign
parentage than among the married na- K
live American women of native parent
age: that It la usually greater tn the
first feneration or fnri.n . m.ir k.. i
the second: and that It Is on the whole
greater In rural districts than in cities.
It Is shown, also, that a hlsh nercentaee
oi cniunersness prevails among married
negro women In northern cities.
Various Types Studied.
The sections of the United States se
lected for this study were the State of
Rhode Island, the City of Cleveland. O..
and 48 largely rural counties in Ohio:
the City of Minneapolis, and 21 largely
rural counties In Minnesota.. Rhode
Island Is a compact .Eastern state, with
a population largely urban and manu
facturing in character. Ohio and Min
nesota are Middle Western tvne. Cleve
land and Minneapolis present urban and
manufacturing conditions, and the se
lected counties In each state rural and
agricultural conditions.
The native white women of . native
parentage. In the districts from which
the returns were taken, had borne In
the aggregate one child .every 5.3 years,
while tiia women of foreign parentage
had borne on every 3.2 years.
The nrst generation of tha white of
foreign parentage, representing the Im
migrant women, had one child every
three years, and the second generation
had one every 3.6 years. For eaca for
eign nationality the number of years
married per child borne Is less In the first
generation than In the second, with few
exceptions.
Comparing the different nationalities.
tho birth rate Is shown to he greatest
n the first generation of Polish women
who had on the average one child every
Z.I years: also, that it is least In the
second generation of English women.
who had on the average one child every
five years.
Rural Rate Is Higher.
Among American white women of na
tive parentage who had been married
from 10 to 20 years, the average number
of children in Cleveland and In Minne
apolis is exactly th same, 2.4. and hardly
differs from the average in Rhode Island,
2.5. The average in those areas Is lower
by nearly 1.0 than it is In rural Ohio
and In rural Minnesota, where it Is 3.4.
In other words, in' the rural districts of
Ohio and Minnesota the women of native
American parentage who were In the
second decade of their married life had
borne on the average one more clalld
than the same class of women in thi
cities of Cleveland and Minneapolis or
In the State of Rhode Island, which Is
argdy urban.
As regards the women of foreign
parentage, the difference between an ur
ban and a rural environment is nor
uyially so marked, nor Is It uniform.
As a rule the average number of chil
dren In each nationality Is highest In
rural Minnesota and lowest in Mlnne-
polts or Cleveland or else in Rhode
Island. But there are some exceptions:
For the first generation of Canadian
English tha average number of children
Is as great In Rhode Island as It Is In
rural Minnesota. For the first genera
tion of Bohemians 'It Is as great in Min-
eapolls as it Is In rural Minnesota. The
figures for the first generation of Irish
Indicate that environment has little ef
fect. On the other hand, the first gener-
tlons of English. German and Scotch.
like the native American stock, appear
to have fewer children In the cities
than In the country.
The percentage of women bearing no
children is much higher among the na
tive white of native parentage than
mong the white of foreign parentage.
The percentage bearing no children is
higher In the second generation of the
white of foreign parentage than In the
first.

and those who lined up against it l'ned
up against the Administration. Many
of them were men who on every other
Issue had stood by the Administration.
There will be the same sort of break
among Republicans In the Senate.

TARIFF BILL UNDER FIRE
FIRST ATTACK IN DEMOCRATIC
HOUSE BEGINS TODAY.
Measure Will Pass, It Is Predicted,
But Turbulent Scenes Will
Accompany Debate.
WASHINGTON, April 23. The first
attack In the Democratic House of Rep.
resentatives upon the schedules of th
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill will begin to
morrow. With the Canadian reclproc
lty bill disposed, as far an. the House
Is concerned, the lines of battle are
being drawn over the bill introduced
by Chairman Underwood, of the ways
and means committee, and approved by
the Democratic caucus, placing on the
free list many manufactured articles,
That the bill will pass the House Is
unquestioned, but there will be a tur
bulent and prolonged debate and the
division on the final vote will be far
different from the vote on the reel
proclty bill. Republican leaders say
at least three-fourths of the 67 Re
publicans who voted with the Demo
cratlc majority for the reciprocity bill
will be found standing by the Republl
can protective policy.
Tho Democratic leaders themselves
admit that on the free list bill the
alignment will be closely partisan and
they expect the discussion will continue
Dossiblv two weeks.
The committee's rear work on the
revision of the wool and cotton sclied
ules will not be undertaken until the
farmers' free list bill has been passed.
After these schedules are prepared
there will be a caucus of the Demo
cratic majority and the bflls will be
reported to the House as the caucus
directs. That action probably cannot
come for three weeks. -
"This extra session," said Democratic
Leader Underwood, "is to be essentially
a tariff revision session. We have
passed the reciprocity bill and next
week will take up the free list bill,
calling it up Monday as soon as set
matters are disposed of.
"There will be a mileage bill, some
correction bills, and then the debate
on the free list will be taken up.. As we
handled the reciprocity bill, so will we
this one. There has been a heavy de
mand from both sides of the House for
time tu speak.
"There, will be no disposition to shut
off the debate. The outlook is that the
free list bill will take up more of the
time of the House than did the reci
procity bllV
The reapportionment bill is almost
certain to be called up next Wednesday,
but opposition may delay final vote.
The New Mexico-Arizona statehood bill
also Is on the calendar. Besides these',
the programme Includes little of Im
portance except the tariff. The Demo
crats will resume the free list discus
sion Thursday.
The French-Canadian Immigrants are
bearing children two and one-half times
as fast as the native American women.
The Italian women closely approach, but
do not quite equal,' the French-Canadians.
Of the native white women of native
narentage. married 10 to 13 years, resid
ing in Cleveland. 13.2 per cent had borne
no childrenand of white women of for
eign parentage the percentage was 6.3.
In the 48 largely rural counties In Ohio
the difference between thesa two classes
Is not great. 5.1 per cent of the white
women of native parentage having borne
no children, as compared with 5.1 per
cent of the white women of foreign
parentage. For nearly all classes the
percentage of married women bearing no
children was larger in the City of Cleve
land than in the rural counties, but in
the esse of native white women the per
centage for Cleveland was nearly three
times ss great. The smallest-percentages
of childlessness In Cleveland were shown
by the Polish women. 2.4 per cent, and
by the Bohemian and Russian women.
2.6 per cent; and the largest ' by the
French women. 23.5 per ceat. In the
rural counties the smallest percentage
was 1.9 for the Swedish wonren. and the
largest. 6.3, for English-Canadian and
English women.
A table showing the sverage number
of children borne hy women under 4a
