Jan. 38. The Earl of Dudley, who Is prominently mentioned as the next governor genenit of Canada, has been governor general of the common wealth Of Australia since the early part . cf UOSf and la now on the point of , retiring from that post- In English court circles the opinion Is gaining ' ground that the earl Is slated to succeed Lord Grey at" Ottawa. Nearly everyone .,.. that h la fair more likely to re celve the appointment than either the Duke of Connaught or tne jjukb qi both of whom have been mentioned for ; the place. The Earl of Dudley's family name is . William Humble Ward. The earldom haa been In existence only two genera tions, but the barony was created In 1804 and the family has been a distin guished member of the aristocracy since that time. The founder of the family was a wealthy Jeweler in London. He christened his son Humble and he got on, and marrying the heiress of Lord Dudley, was created Baron Ward In 1(04. Abandons the Wild Life. . The present holder of the title suc ceeded, his father, the first earl, In 1S85. He was born in 1857 and was eiucated at Eton. He neglected to enter the uni versity, and Instead devoted himself to ' extensive travel and to the study of men rather than of books. In 1888 he was appointed high steward of Kidder minster, and he was mayor of Dudley from 1895 to 1897. During the last Boer war he fought lh South Africa with his regiment of Worcestershire yeomanry. In the days of his youth the Karl of Dudley manifested most decided pport ing proclivities. Indeed. It is said that he was In a fair way te squander his fortune and spoil his career when he met and fell in love with the beautiful young Woman who became the Countess of Dudley. She completely reformed him. It Is said that one of the conditions on which she married him was that he should give up gambling and horse rac ing. He was greatly addicted to both and was himself a noted steeplechasa Tlder. On the day of his marriage he foreswore the turf forever. Great Buoceae la Politic. Els success 1b politics has been some " what remarkable for a man of his years. He was taken Into Lord Salisbury's gov ernment in 1895 as under secretary of the Board of Trade. He showed talent as well as Industry In the work of the ' department and In - ltol he was re warded with the appointment to the lord lleutenantahlp of Ireland. He remained at Dublin until 1906 and a year or so later came hie appointment to succeed Sir Henry Stafford Northcote In Aus- tralla. The prospectlre Governor General of , Canada Is one of the richest men in England. His landed estates cover oyer ao.000 acres, but his chief wealth Is derived from the minerals and great Ironwork which he possesses In Staf fordshire and In Worcestershire. He Is the proprietor also of a considerable estate In Jamaica. Wltley Court, his . seat In Worcestershire, once the resi dence of Queen -Adelaide, Is one of the most magnificent places In the Mid lands, and the beautiful gardens rival those of Trentham and Alton Towers. Countess a emarkable "Woman. The Countess of Dudley Is renowned for her philanthropy as well aa her beauty. The history of her childhood and early life Is exceedingly romantic. She was the Cinderella of her family, which had been wealthy and well placed, - but when the riches of Charles Ourrey - took unto themselves wings the future of his youngest daughter looked very dark Indeed. So marked was the girl's cleverness and beauty, however, that after the father went to South America to seek fortune anew and her daring , mother decided to open a dressmaking establishment in London, the Duchess of .Bedford, a first cousin of Mrs. Gurney, came forward with the offer of a home and an education for pretty little Rach el. So, amid the most lavish wealth, the girl grew up. The Duchess proved a noble friend, and the future Countess of Dudley was brought out in London society with great splendor. Many photographs have been pub lished of the twin eons of the Earl and Countess of Dudley. They are named Edward Frederick, for whom King Ed ward VII was sponsor, and Georpe Reg. lnald, for whom King George was spon. eor. The Dudleys have two other sons end three daughters seven children In all, the twins being the youngest and the eldest. Lady Gladys (for whom King Edward was also sponsor), being very near her nineteenth birthday. For the youngest daughter, Lady Alexandra Pat ricia, Queen Alexandra and the Duke of Connaught were sponsors. The eldest , aon and heir to the title is Viscount Kdliam, who is now In his seventeenth year.

No more Inter esting or comprehensive study of the llfo of a citv child ha ever been of fered than that; at the New York Child Welfare exhibit, which is now on at the Seventy-first Regiment armory In this city, and will continue until February 12. It is by far the most remarkable exhibition of its kind that has ever been shown In this countrj', and fur nishes an excellent opportunity for the study of the vital pitrblem which con ronts every large city In the country its children. The dally Incidents In the home, school and street life of the miserable little ur chins on the lower East side are strlk-Ingly-deplcted by photographs and other exhibits, as well as the lives of the little ones, who reside In the more fashionable upi.er West side district. Three hundred people educators, phll- anthropists and settlement workers- have been gathering material tor tne ex hibit for two years, and it has cost ap proximately 170,000, this amount being raised by voluntary contributions. The work was divided among twenty committees, which Included twenty paid investigators. Photographs tund statis tics of all kinds were collected which will prove of great value. QptimlsUo In Purpose. While the exhibit deals frankly and fearlessly with child conditions as they are, its purpose Is optimistic. For along with the bad it has shown the good, and in each case has Indicated either ways of encouraging and spreading good In fluences or of remedying existing evil conditions. Especially interesting1 are the exhibits gathered by the committees on streets and recreation and amusements. There are photographs showing the extremes to which children are forced to resort in order to play at all; street accidents are graphically Illustrated; a typical candy shop Is shown and the kind of candy children buy and its effect upon them illustrated. The statistics gathered by these com mltees are no less interesting, and in somo cases tragic. They reveal the fact that many children of poor families be gin the day without breakfast, and were it not for the free luncheon provided by the city, they would be compelled to forego a meal at noon. In one school alone there were 200 children who had no one at home to get lunch for them at noon. Hundreds of others are com pelled to work after school hours, and many of these have not an adequate amount of rest. Among tho questions sent to the pub lic schools to be answered by the chil dren were the following: 1. What do you do when you go home from school? 2. How long do you have for play? 3. How long do you have to ftudy your lessons? 4. Do you belong to any library? 6. How many books have you read this term? 6. What newspapers do you read in your home? 7. What time do you get up In the morning? "8. At what time do you go to bed at night7 Here .are the facts as shown in the replies of seven little girls from one class. Only one of them was ovor 10 years old. Six of them worked at tying feathers, that is, making willow plumes, after school. One, a 12-year-old, sewed buttons and made buttonholes on babies' dretsea, receiving 6 cents a dozen for the work. As for play, three of the seven calmly say that they have no time to play, one has an hour, two have half an hour, and one says, "after I have flnlbhed one feather I can play on the street." Four have half an hour for eludy. two have an hour and one has "one minute." Not ono of the seven belongs to a library. One hasn't read any book at all. The others have read one or two. Only one reads a newspaper. Two are In. bed rrom 9 to 6, one Trom 10 to 5:30, one from 8 to 6:30, one from 11 to 6 one from 10 to 5, and one from 9 to 4:30. Not one of them has therefore, an ade quate amount of rest. Flay Boom is Limited. Tue small amount of playroom that New Tork children have Is shown by a map, which divides the city Into dis tricts, in one of these districts, having nine miles of streets, a population of 35,000, and a school registration of near ly 6000, there Is only one vacant lot. In striking contrast to this there are 111 saloons, 78 candy shops, and a large number Of moving picture shows. The candy shops - play an important part in the life of the child. One of the "worst features of some of them Is being fought by law, that is the back room, where girls and boys have been in the habit of meeting. But many of them stiil depend for their existence on the sale of unwholesome candy and of oquaiiy unwnoiesome dime novels and picture postcards. The child rmvilnl orr tho street and forced to substitute "standing around" for good healthy play rinds the candy, shop an alluring place in Which to do that atandtna- arming Aaeneoi the ehiie welfare Inrestigators puv ii. it a louypops against baseballs."

A crowded, narrow street of this kind is the only sort of a play ground, in many sections of the city and here the little ones romp and play, breathing in the germ laden atmosphere. Directly be neath It is a scene in one of the luncheon rooms provided by the city, showing a number of school children getting their noon day meal. To the left are two little girls seated on the cold flagging in the tenement district, and amusing themselves with a game of jacks. Below Is Mr. Charles F. Powlison, general Secretary of the executive committee of the New York Child Wel$are exhibit. half these film shows are dependent on the patronage of children. The committee on churches has re vealed the astonishing fact that of the 1,000,000 school children in greater New York, only 850,000 (less than one half) attend any kind of a Sunday school Protestant, Catholic or Jewish. An Interesting exhibit le supplied by the commltteeon homes. Thoro Is a three room flat, furnished At a retail cost of $100; also a child's room and a home living room furnished for the child's comfort happiness and educa tion. The subject of child labor haa been given careful attention by the committee on work and wages, and the investiga tors have discovered that the law sup posed to regulato this problem la to be systematically evaded, especially in homes where many children work. The committee cm health has at tempted to show practical methods of reducing the 16,000 infant deaths a year In Now York city, how to help the 70 per cent of public school children who have physical defects, how to deal with the problem of pure milk supply, how to prevent tuberculosis among children, and so on. The committee on public and private philanthropy has charge of such work as the caro of special classes' of children, such as the feeble minded, epileptic, crippled, blind and deaf. Thus all the phases of the city child's life, have been thoroughly Investigated by separate oonunlttees, and the results placed before the public. In some sec tions of the exhibition there are groups of real children at play numbering up to 1000. A series of conferences are being con ducted by the various committees in con nection with the exhibit, at which speeches are delivered by prominent ed ucators and social workers, who are competent to dlaouss the aspects of child life. This list of speakers in clude Jane Addaina of Hull house, Chi cago; Lillian D. Wald of Henry street settlement; Mrs. Florence Kelley, a vig orous supporter of the movement for more strnlgent child labor laws; Homer Folks, secretary of the State Charities association; Judge Franklin C.

It can bo authoritatively stated that a situation potent with' dangerous pos sibilities with reference to the anti- Japanese question In California con fronts Governor Johnson's administra tion. The reported proposal of Wash ington to permit ellmli atioir- 'ot the coolie restriction clause from the treaty with Japan has aggravated the ttsk of California's leslrlatlvj Insurgents. These insurgent! have been sitting on the lid of the Japanese question "In an effort to. ke;p atitl-Aslatlc agitation under cov--r unlil congress shall have given California the Panama Pacific exposi tion Indorsement. The lid is growing hot ar.d a strong minority represented by Democrats and former "machine" legislators are active in endeavoring to taure a situation en barrasslre to the Insurgents.

If the sub-rommittee refuses to roport out the resolution the minority will bring tho matter to a vote on the flo'or and predict that a majoilty of the legislators will stampede from tho administration corral and adopt the resolution. Declares Situation Fcrilens. "California's position is one .of peril." declared Sanford tonight. "The federal government must see that we would be overrun with a horde of Orientals and tha: soon the Pacific coast slope would be more Japanese thr.n American. We cannot affoid to place our homes and Interests In peril to satisfy Japan. We cannot afford to have Japan dictate what laws shall govern us and what measure or measures shall not be passed.

"If the resolutions and anti-alien leg islation should fail to pass this legisla ture, the measure will go before tho people of California under the Initia tive, referendum and recall and the peo ple of California will point a way out of the difficulty that Washington will have to follow. , "The Initiative, referendum and re call will paso this legislature with good majorities and will be indorsed over whelmingly by the people of the state at I he next election. Given that and the danger of Asiatic Immigration im minent, California will put through the iaws necessary to preserve her Integ rity." Polsley spoke in similar manner of the sccpe of the Japanese luestion In California and added that Washington should be made to realize the sortous- ness of the situation as viewed on the Pacific coast. Governor Johnson refused to make any statement regarding Polsley's res olution and Sanford'o statement Hs Js known to be confident that the Cali fornia legislature will do nothing to embarrass the Washington government and places reliance on Insurgent leaders in tenate and assembly.
