she retired when more ambitious ones
came forward. They sent no notifica

Taft or to the executive body of the

Life Work, Begaa at 40.
Miss Barton was 40 years old when
first she turned her attention to
the great works of humanity which
have made her name famous. The Bed
Cross was established In America In
ISM and Miss Barton was Its president
from that date until 1904. Before that
time she had made a name for herself
by her services on battlefields, begin
ning In the Civil War and extending
through the Franco-Prussian War. Con
gress recognized her good offices in
the -first case by an appropriation of
S1S.0OO to be disbursed by her In search
for missing men after the various bat
tles of the war.
Miss Barton's work became more ex
tended with the organization of the
American Red Cross and covered the
new field of catastrophes in time of
peace. She distributed relief to the
sufferers from the Johnstown flood and
went to Russia In IS82 to carry food to
the famine sufferers there. In the fol
lowing year she was ministering to the
destitute survivors of the tidal wave
which struck South Carolina and
Florida.
- Work fevers Maay Fields.
In 1S3 she was aiding the Armenian
families decimated by the Turks, and
when yellow fever appeared among
the American troops in Cuba, following
the battles around Santiago, it was
Clara Barton who, at the request of
President McKlnley, organised field
hospitals and personally spent her time
on the battle lines. Her last work of
National prominence was in connec
tion with the great Galveston flood
relief In 1300.
In 1904 the Red Cross was re-organized.

close of the Spanish War. She was the
author of many works on the activities
of the Red Cross.
AID OX RAILROADS TliAXXED
Heart in New Movement on Kvc of
Red Cross Founder's Death.
OXFORD. Mass.. April 12. (Spe
cial.) In the last years of her life
Miss Barton was wrapped up in a new
undertaking which she regarded as of
far greater moment even than her ac
complishment In convincing the Gov
ernment of the great need and value
of the Red Cross. Her neighbors in
this place, her former home, knew of
her work in inaugurating a movement
to equip every railroad in the I'nitcd
States with cars equipped for the aid
of persons Injured in train wrecks.
This movement, which she Inaugurated
In 190S. when she was 84 years old,
had made great, headway when she
died.
"Is it unreasonable to ask that rail
roads should take the trouble to care
for persons hurt In wrecks on their
property?" he asked. "Just think of
the good that might be accomplished
by having a system of hospital cars.
My plan is to have each road keep, at
least, one csr always ready to dash
away at a moment's notice to the scene
of any accident. 1 want them to keep
a car prepared to start. Just as an en
gine and wrecking outfit Is kept. I
would have physicians and surgeons on
the car and supply every equipment and
means for the relief of the wounded.
At the call this car would have the
right of way. It would hurry to the
scene of disaster. .
"in the car would be banduges, hot
and cold water. Ice, instruments and
the surgeon, with his assistants. How
different this would be compared to the
present method! Instead of loading the
injured on to a car, to bo perhaps car
ried many miles before a hospital or
adequate surgical treatment can be
reached, the Injured would be tenderly
cared for at the very scene of the
wreck. .
"I would have each Injured person
carried Into the car and placed In tho
hands of the surgeon and his assist
ants, and as each is treated, moved to
a cot or bed In the same car or on- the
train and room made for the next per
son. There would be no Jolting ambu
lances, no long, painful trips on the
train before medical help could be se
cured. "Doesn't that sound reasonable?"
Of the past Miss Barton seemed re
luctant to speak. Of the great work
the Hd Cross has accomplished she
said: "When the Government accepted
the Red Cross, perhaps a bit arrogant
ly. I felt that my end was accomplished
and I was ready to give It up. We were
about the 40th nation to take It up: so
you seo we are not so progressive after
all."
Miss Barton was full of plans for the
future to the end.
Relative 1.1 vc In Portland.
Miss Clara was a seond cousin of
the late Edmund V. Barton, whose
widow lives at 39! East Ninth street,
Portland. Mr. Barton died In 1896, but
his widow and Miss Barton were In
correspondence until a year ago, when
Miss Barton's health made it Impos
sible for her to write letters. She
sent copies of a pamphlet containing a
sketch of her life, which she published
at the age of 88. Mrs. Barton's daugh
ters have also received signed photo
graphs as Christmas gifts. Mrs. Bar

Barton at Glen Echo. Md., last July.

WASHINGTON, April 12. A scathing
denunciation of the House committee
on expenditures in the Interior Depart
ment was delivered today by Mann of
l'llncls. the minority leader. He charged
that Graham of Illinois, chairman of
the committee, had permitted a woman
lobbyist, known by him to be In the
employ of persons pressing claims be
fore the committee, to shape legisla
tion. Mrs. Helen Pierce Gray, of Minne
sota, was the woman named by Mann.
He charged that for three months she
had occupied a desk in the office of the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs on the
strength of her relations with the
House committee.
Indian Paysi "Keep Money."
In that time, said Mann, Mrs. Gray
had solicited and had received fees
amounting to several hundred dollars
from Intlien claimants. Mann said a
dissatisfied Indian had filed a protest
with Chairman Graham, and that he
had told the woman- to "keep the
money."
Mrs. Gray in 1S08 brought charges
against Indian Agent Reynolds, alleg
ing that while she was on the Crow
reservation writing syndicate articles,
she had been thrown into Jail aJid
threatened with incarceration in a cell
with a male Indian.
The storm broke in the House today
when Representative Graham's com
mittee asked for the adoption of a
resolution providing for an Indian in
vestigation in New Mexico. In oppos
ing. Mr. Mann sold:
"The Democratic investigations have
cost the Government more than $100,
000." .Mann Denounce Scandal.
He shook his clenched fists at the
Democratic side an he added: "They
have not disclosed any siandal so great
as that of a committee of the House
retaining within Its scope a person who
solicits and receives money to use his
or her influence in forcing legislation
through for the benefit of clients."
Mr. Mann demanded that Mrs. Gray
be summarily shut out ot the comm!l
tee and the bureau of Indian affairs.
Representative Hill, ot Connecticut, a
Republican, protested against the ap
propriation o any money for a fur
ther inquiry into Indian affairs. He
denounced the proposed trip to New
Mexico as a forerunner of others, "un
til 100 or l.'O subcommittees of inves
tigation arc swaggering around tho
country training their olfactory sense
in Irving to smell out something to
investigate."
Mr. Graham mado no reply and the
resolution was adopted 61 to 41.

KANSAS CITY. April 12. "The Lord
appeared to me in great glory and told
me I ought to quit work for at least
a year." said I. N. White, an apostle of
the reorganized church of Latter-Day
Saints, in a letter that was received
by the general conference of the church

Apostle White is one of the quorum
of 12 and has charge of a mission field
covering several states.
He wrote in tho letter that he re
sisted the suggestions of his friends
that he take a vacation, but when the
Lord commanded it. he obeyed.

The youngest of their children is a

In obtaining the marriage license
Ruch gave the young woman's name
as Helen Hoffman.
"This young man came to the pro
bate court in 1910 and secured a
license to marry this young woman
who, it since has been discovered, is
his sister," said Judge Leudcrs to the
the Solvency Court. v
"That was before the recent law was
enacted requiring both applicants for
a marriage license to appear per
sonally. The young man ga-e his
name, age and address properly. He
gave the young woman's name as
Helen Hoffman and told her age and
address. I am informed in fact I
have investigated the subject care
fully and feel certain that he did not
know at that time that this young
woman was his sister.
Couple's Love Remains.
"The discovery was not made until
a comparatively short time ago. I
had them in 'my oclce and we tried to
arrive at some solution for the prob
lem presented. They have two child-
ren. They still love each other and
love their children.
"I explained to them that although
they might be able to keep the secret
for years, there would come a time as
surely as anything human can be cer
tain when someone would discover it
and it would be exposed, possibly in
their declining years. Or if the dis
closure were not to come until after
their death it would be left as a herit
age to their children. Now they can
como into court, honestly to explain
an honest mistake and do the only
thing in their power to rectify their
mistake."
