MANY SCHOOLS CONFLICT Private Gathering Hears Talk on Social Questions State Rights Involved In Regulation of Child Labor. HOBOKEN. N. J.. Jon. 26. President elect Wilson addressed today a private assemblage of prominent social work ers at the nemo of Mrs. Caroline B. Alexander, where he and his family were week-end guests. In a statement given out by Mrs. Alexander setting forth Governor Wilson's remarks he Is quoted as declaring; that In forwarding the movement for a National bureau of health it was oesired to remove the Impression that the Governor expected to set up a "medical trust." The Governor is reported aa having said that there was no Intention to put any school of medicine In charge of National health projects, but that all schools of medicine should work in harmony on the question of sanitation, which he considered most important. Prawtlcal Plaa Demanded. No newspaper men were admitted, and Governor Wilson could not be reached tonight to make any comment on the conference. The statement given out at the Alexander home quotes the President-elect as saying: "Every subject treated here today en gaged my deep Interest and enthusiasm. My enthusiasm is proportioned general ly to the practicability of a scheme. 1 have always been eager to forward general principles, but I do not feel the breath fill my lungs until I see the practical plan. I hope you will always come to me with plans and you may count on me to consider those plans with Interest and friendliness. Medical Qaeatloa Difficult. -Most of the things that you have spoken of are without political em barrassment. One that does hold po litical embarrassment Is the health de partment project. Already In dealing with medical education in New Jersey we have had political difficulties be cause of the various Independent schools of medicine that have sprung up on all sides. There is a fear In many minds that we are about to set jp what has been called a medical trust, and It la very desirable to remove that idea. I have never seen any serious proposal to put any particular school of medicine in charge of the National health. "With regard to the children's bureau another similar difficulty exists. My own party in some of its elements rep resents a strong state's rights feeling. It Is plain that you would have to go much farther than most interpretations of the Constitution would allow if you were to give the Government general control over child labor throughout the country. It Is important to make it generally understood that the purpose of your bureau is to collect and co ordinate Information on the subject. Government Does ot Originate. -l want above all things to enjoy the confidence of and to have at my serv ice the information and counsel of those who are engaged in these fun damental things. Most of the vitality of public action comes from outside the Government. The Government does not originate. It responds to public opin ion. You all are to regard yourselves a forces playing upon the Government, and 1 hope that during the next four years you will find a sensitive part of the Government at the top." A. J. McKelway, secretary for South ern states of the National child labor .-vmmlttee and chairman of the Juve nile advisory committee of the chil iliens council, of Washington. D. C. while speaking on "Washington as a .Mode! City," criticised the system of sovernment of the District of Columbia us controlled by men "with connec linns In speculative real estate." In commenting on this Governor Wilson is reported in the statement as saving: "Dr. McKelway excited me because he P'U under my nose a fresh trail and a kind of trail that I always will fol low ith zest," Ti e Governor planned to be at the stjtehouse.

Light & Power cars. Each night the packing in the Jour; nal boxes of several streetcars had been going to kindle the cheerful blaze In the stove In the other car, and on each occasion the night was fol lowed by a day of hot boxes and an noyance. Strict watch upon the rendezvous of the hoboes for the past few nights has, for the time at least, put a stop to their kindling gathering expedi tions and the streetcar company has been freed from this annoyance..

INCONVENIENT J - . ' 1 t - ----- Senior Ball to See "All Cozy Corners Abolished and Chaperones on Guard. WELLESLEY, Mass., Jan. 26. (Spe cial.) That the "bunny hug" and "tur key trot" may not corner the dance mart at the senior ball at Wellesley next Friday, the faculty have evolved a aat nf rppn 1 a 1 1 nn nprtRinine to the conduct of the dance, one of which automatically disposes of "trots. "No girl shall allow any young man to hold her closer than three inches," Ann nf thn fiiia r,ni nnd thus a dead line is established for the effervescent youth and maiden who cannot make their dancing treads behave. They never had a man dance at Wel lesley before, and the faculty is much stirred at the appearance of "hawks" among the "chickens." Under no cir cumstances is a young man to pass his arm about a girl's waist in such a fashion that he could give her a sur reptitious squeeze. Cosy corners nave heen nhollshed. and chaperones. of dragon-like propensities will flit about occasionally. One nrlvileire is allowed a girl's 'es cort. He may see her to her dormitory after the ball, but girls, boys ana chaperones must ride there in barges provided for the occasion.

NOW, BUT OH, YOtJ WHEAT CROP Democrats in Senate Are Not United. RETALIATION NOW FEARED Republicans Threaten to De lay Wilson Appointments. POLICY NOT YET DECIDED Precedent Requires Confirmation of Taft's Appointees and if Filibus ter Is Attempted Wilson May Have Trouble as Result. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. 20. No one seems to know at this time what disposition the Sen ate will make ultimately of the thou sands of nominations submitted this session by President Taft. Generally, Democratic Senators are In favor of preventing confirmation, so that all the offices affected shall - become vacant March 4. and then be filled by Demo crats. l5ut Democratic sentiment Is not unanimous, and quit a few of the present minority and soon-to-be ma jority party are disposed to allow the Republicans to clear up their slate be fore the Taft -Administration closes. Several times the Democrats of the Senate have caucused on the question of nominations, yet they have reached no binding agreement as . to policy, rather playing- for delay, in the hope that something may develop to point the proper course to them. For it is acknowledged that there are two sides to the question of holding up Repub lican nominations during a Republican Administration. For instance, prece dent decrees that rfominations made by a Republican President shall be con firmed during his Administration, ex cept in cases where appointees are per sonally objectionable to some Senator or Senators. That was the policy in the days of Cleveland, and Harrison, and McKinley. Republicans! Still Hold Club. But more than this, if the Democrats of the present Senate, by filibuster or other means, undertake td prevent' the confirmation of all tho Taft appoint ments, now pending or to be submitted later this session, they will arouse Re publican Senators, and It will be quits as easy for Republicans in the next Senate to hold up the nominations of President Wilson, and thus embarrass the incoming Administration. Some Republicans even go so far as to threat en to hold up the Wilson Cabinet nom inations next March, unless the Demo crats agree to allow the present Senate (Concluded on Page 2.) NEST SUMMER! 1 Agulnaldo, Hoping- to Profit by Dis content of Natives, Disturb ing Factor In Islands. MANILA. Jan. 26. The Manila wire less station has picked up an unsigned message, presumably from Zamboan ga, which gives the first news of the death of Captain McNally, of the Phil ippine Scouts, and seven of his men in a fight with Moros. Three of those who lost their lives were Lieutenants. The scouts also had 14 wounded. The Iorh -of the Moros is not given. It is believed the fight was in the neighborhood of Jolo. Wires are aown In that direction and no direct news had been received, except the brief wireless message. There have been several engage ments with these savages in the last few weeks, and forces of constab ulary and regulars have been sent against them. This is the most serious affair that has yet been reported. A disturbing factor in the situation Is . that Aguinaldo, leader of the revolt against the Americans in the Philip pines, has re-entered politics. Al though he has told the revolutionaries in the conference of chieftains that his sole purpose was to organize the na tives to accomplish their independence, It is said his real motive for activity comes from a fear that the Jones bill, providing for Filipino independence, may not be passed and that he plans to profit by expected discontent of the natives.
