MANY BROKEN HEADS.
Assembly of Navel Militia Turned
Into a Donnybrook Fair.

Chicago, Feb. 17.-For two years there
has been strong feeling between factions
in the Illinois naval militia, which has
led once to its formal disbandment and
to innumerable sGuabbles. Last night
It resulted in a lively fight during which
the windows and glass doors in the
armory were smashed, heads were
broken and blood spilled.
During the evening detachment OF
the old reserves held a meeting at a
downtown hotel and after their gather
ing had finished their business, they
adjourned to the armOry to see their
successors drill The drill did not meet
with the entire approval of tn cold men
and contemptuous remarks by the lat
ter started the trouble. Canes. fists
and anything that came handy were
used as weapons and while none on
either side was seriously hurt, there
were any number of bloody noses, torn
garments and bIackened eyes when the
fracaS was over.
While the fight was at it's hottest, a
riot call was sent to the central station
but by the time the officers had arrived
at the armory the thing was over and
no arrests were made A guard was
stationed in the armory all night with
loaded rifles and a warm welcome was
promised to any of the old reserves VINO
should return and attempt to run
things.

did not prevent the delegates to the ma

ing After an opening prayer Mrs. The
odore W. Birney, president Of the con-
gress, delivered an address of welcome.
She spoke Of the home influence saying
that there lay the solution to problems
that confront the world. Directors to
women's societies, she said, were them
selves the best illustration of the need
Of such organizations.
Women should not seek to make a
career in the world for their highest
duty lay at the freside and those with
pete with women working for a living.
The prospects for the education of chill
dren she considered bright
In closing the president recalled the
good services OF Mrs. Phoebe Hearst
Mrs Mary Green responded saying
that the congress had gathered to con-
slider the oldest of arts, or sciences. the
science of motherhood. 1t was necessary
that women should learn many things
in order to manage a household and
properly rear children. It was due to a
lack Of knowledge on the part of Off
GERS and men that many soldiers died
during the war with Spain Congress,
she thought, should be petitioned to es-
tablish a national health bureau.
Mr. Horace Fletcher spoke of the edu-
cation OF children from an economic
standpoint. stating that it was cheaper
to teach them to live properly than to
take care Of them when they became
criminals.
DR.. G. Stanley Hall delivered an ad-
dress in which he pointed to the fact
that children should not be forced into
maturity. Childhood should be kept
alive in the human race as long as pos
sible. All history he said, teaches that
precocity leads to the fall of en-
pire. Special care should be taken OF
the human race when in the adolescent
stage as il was then people were to be
Influenced for good or evil
