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 before the circlea are given by them.

LUCK AID TO SOCIALISTS (Continued From First Pace.) understanding with-Booth and'tiia party advisers, evidently a satisfactory confer ence, for the labor organisation there after worked In concert with tha So cialists. Dr. Jackson, put up as an opponent to Mayor M'tt. proved to be a weak candi date. In certain circlea he was labeled a political agitator. nd so It was that the conservative element of Oakland, whlrh had objection to the present ad ministration for one reason or another, threw Ita votes to the Socialists. Tha primary campaign therefore showed that while Mott polled a vote of Msr. Thomaa Booth waa second, with f"i. and Dr. Jackson third, with St Added to that eight of the 12 Socialist candiuatea for municipal offices quali fied and will be on the ballot of tha final election to be held May 9. Including six nomlneea for school directorship, on for Auditor and one for a City Com missioner. Thomaa Booth, who will be hla op ponent, has expressed tha opinion thst the men who voted for Dr. Jackson daring the primary battle, will turn their votes to him at the last count and that he will win beyond doubt. There Is a possibility of Ills' election, chiefly because of the prospects thst the solid labor vot will b turned In his di rection. . ' . . Tha caar Socialistic candidal la Oak- llshment-of a municipal free employ ment bureau are some of the reforms that I w II lv promise." - 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. AMOS ST. MARTIN JAILER Me Is Accused of Pacing Checks on Defunct Vancouver Bank. STEVENSON".

Pa.. April 23. (Spe cial.) Professor Austin J. O'Malley, 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 ords. Dr. O'Malley met hla wife, who 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 dangerously III. Specialist declared 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.

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. French-Canadian Rate Higher. partr. divided, and divided along new lines, insurgents and regulars, bury ing past differences, lined up. some for and some against Canadian reciprocity. 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. Regulars will elde with La Follette and Cummins, Just as Insurgents will array themselves with Penrose and others of the old guard. 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 vears of age. married 10 to 19 years. In Rhode Island. -Cleveland. Minneapolis, rural Ohio and. rural Minnesota, gives the following results: Average number for all classes. 4.1: native white of native parentage. 2.7: white of foreign parent age. 4.4: Austrian. - 4.6: Bohemian. 5; Canadian English. 3.5: -Canadian French, 5.6: Danish. 4.8; English. 3.4: Finnish. 5.3: French, 4.3: German, 4.3: Hungarian. 4.6: Irish, 4.4: Italian. 4.9: Norwegian, 4.7; Polish. 6.2; Russian, 6.4: Scotch, 3.6: Swedish, 4.2; Swiss. 4.4: Welsh, 3.8; other foreign. 4.3: native negro. 3.1.
