EMPLOYMENT OF ....... !.
CHILDREN DISCUSSED
Miss Jane Adams of Chicago Ad-
dresses WOman's Board Of
Home Missions.

Miss Jane Adams. head OF Hull House. in
Chicago, spoke on the subject Of employ
ment OF children before the woman's Board
of Home Missions Of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church. South, at st. Johns Methodist
Episcopal Church. Ewing avenue and Locust
street. last night.
Miss Adams is in st. Louis at the invita-
ton Of the congregation OF Temple Israel.
which will soon found a social settlement In
st. Louis. Miss Adams will speak at Tenn.
pie Israel to-day.
THE employment OF children she said,
dates back to the time when steam was ap-
piled to the manufacture Of textiles, thus
taking from women an industry which they
had piled for many generations. In time
tho manufacturers discovered that women
and children could handle certain parts OF
the machinery as well as men. They hired
them because their help could be secured
at less cost Children are put into factories
who should be at school. preparing them
selves for work Of later years and enjoying
the liberties and pleasures Of youth
"In Massachusetts q law provides that
children under IA years OF age shall not
work In factories or stores: neither shall
children between the ages OF IA and 16
years who cannot read and write plain
English sentences.
"Chidren who work In factories for tho
most part perform some simple thing, such
as wrapping up cartons. pasting labels and
the like. which any one might learn IN an
hour. They are taught nothing which Is
good and Furthermore are kept away from
schools and sunshine 1t is the duty Of
women to the community to stop these
things Our duty does not end at providing
for our own children's welfare, any more
than mans duty ends by his attendance

MISSOURI PACIFIC STOCK.
How Rockefeller Was Thought to
Have Secured Control.

An Interesting story is recalled in connec-
tion with the proposal OF the directors of the
Missouri Pacific to increase the stock OF the
company to .s100.oo0.00o. 1t was told first
when the prior increase to S0O0O.Vo0 was
made. At the time John D. Rockefeller was
a large buyer of Missouri Pacific. He OBJ
tained so much of 1t that several people
got the impression he had procured con-
troll of the road. Several of the directors
even were under this impression. and they
invited him to become member of the
beard and name other men to be his associ-
ates. When Mr.. Rockefeller was expected
to take control it was learned that George
Gould still owned a majority of the stock,
and would have to be consulted before any
of the proposed changes could be made.
About $9,00O.O0 of stock had been issued
to him and his associates for branch lines
and connections which had been CONSOLE
dated with the main system.
Mr.. Rockefeller has kept his stock, how
ever. and to-day Is one of the largest owners
Of the securities of the Southwestern system
Of roads. 1t is declared that he owns con-
trolling interest in the Santa Fe. and is the
second largest holder of Missouri Pacific.
He is 4 strong supporter of E. H. Harri-
man In the latter's numerous deals.
