C.—The proposal for a children’s bureau in the d ep art­ m ent of commerce and labor to inves­ tig a te and rep o rt in all m atters affect­ ing the w elfare of children, was de­ bated in the senate w ithout action. Senator G allinger opposed the bill, contem plating an unw arranted in tru ­ sion into p riv ate affairs. He discussed criticism s of the reports made by a child labor bureau a few years ago, and said th a t these reports revealed nothing worse than the “ turkey tr o t” dance in vogue in W ashington City. Mr. Heyburn attacked the bill as a discrim ination against the poor and Senator Overman branded it as un­ necessary. Senator Smith, of Georgia, made his maiden speech in support of the bill. He said it would be of v ast ben­ efit to children, w ithout in terferin g w ith sta te rights. Senator Bailey attrib u ted the b ill’s popularity to the influence of women, who, he said, should confine th eir a t­ tention to subjects outside the halls of legislation. “ The more a woman knows about the things she ought to know ,” he said, “ the less she knows about things we are doing h ere .” Senator Stone characterized the bill as inquisitorial and involving unlim ­ ited expenditures. Senator Borah, author of the bill, said th a t the bureau was as much w arranted as many of the ex istin g governm ent offices. DEBEIS VICTORIOUS Oefeal Mexican Rurales and Lib­ erate Prisoners.

San Francisco— By an action filed in the Superior court here, a London newsboy became a co n testan t for a fortune. The suit, filed by Mrs. Am elia A. D ierks in behalf of E tienne Buillard, a lad whom she found selling papers in London two years ago, reveals the story of the boy’s abandonm ent in P aris, a fte r the death of his m other and the discovery, according to Mrs. D ierks th a t he is the grandson of the late Dennis Hayes, a w ealthy pioneer m ining man of C alifornia and th a t he was restored to his relativ es by the chance m eeting w ith his benefactress in London. The boy’s claim to a share in the H ayes estate of approxim ately $100,- 000 is entered in the su it ju s t filed. Mrs. D ierks found E tienne Buillard, then 12 years old, selling papers in London two years ago. “ You speak like an A m erican,” she said. “ My m other was an A m erican,” re­ plied the boy. “ She died and I have alm ost forgotten her, b ut she tau g h t me to ta lk .” The boy’s mem ories of his parents w ere vague, b ut Mrs. D ierks learned by investigation, she says, th a t his m other was A nnette Hays, daughter of Dennis Hayes, and th a t she had been m arried to E tienne Buillard, a supposedly w ealthy Frenchman, ag ain st her fa th e r’s wishes, and gone to P aris to live. F u rth e r inquiries re ­ vealed the w hereabouts of an aunt, Mrs. Cecilia Laib, living in San F ran ­ cisco, and E tienne was taken to her by Mrs. D ierks. The luxury of the Laib residence palled on th e boy and he le ft w ith in a week, going to the home of Mrs. D ierks, w ith whom he has since lived.
