The idea presented IS the settlement OF two

In the construction Of houses and the initial

Of the man in charge would prove OF the utmost
srnportance in the success Of the Undertaking.
T7rouebout the calculations furnished above
IS borne the intention Of making the benencla-

HOW BY MODERATE EXPENDITURE WEALTHY
PHIL4NTHROPISTS COULD BENEFIT 1u4NT.

Washington, Feb. . (SpeciaD-How can the
rich man so invest his wealth as to confer the
greatest benefit to his fellow men?
How can the great centres of civilization be
relieved OF that surplus population which in
habits the tenements. living in poverty and
squalor. curse TO themselves and a menace to
their country?
With the hope of securing light on these i'm
rortant inquiries, The Tribune has propounded
them TO some Of the sociological, economic and
agricultural experts in Washington, and has
received replies which indicate that the solu-
ton Of both problems can be embodied in one
reply
The diffusion Of a large proportion of the i'm
migrants who now throng the cities throughout
the agricultural regions of the country is the
unanimous reply TO the latter inquiry and in
reply TO the first it is pointed out that the rich
man who would invest his wealth in this direc-
tion would not only be benefiting his fellow men
individually, by promoting the welfare of those
within the reach of his philanthropy but would
he conferring a blessing on his country. re-
lieving the large cities OF considerable por-
ton of that class OF their population which
contributes TO the difficulties of maintaining law
and order and clean municipal government. he
would be placing the individuals in localities
where contact with nature and the agricultural
population would hasten their Anericanization
and make of them self-supporting and self-re-
spectng citizens.
In most large cities there are large numbers

SHORT MEETING
HELD BY THE CARMEN AT
MEMPHIS.

MIR. Harry Judd, who went from
Paducah Saturday to attend meeting
of delegates from the different
branches of the Brotherhood of Rail
way Carmen of America, at Memphis,
has returned home and stated this
morning that nothing definite was de-
cided.
The meeting WAS simply prelimi-
nary meeting and Others will follow.
There were about one dozen delegates
in attendance and the session lasted Q
short time only. No time has been
set for another but it is expected that
meeting will .be held again before
Christmas. While it has not been Au.
thoritatively stated, it is thought the
meeting was called especially to act
on the matter of cutting the working
hours by the railroad companies.

The Schlitzbaum RobberyCOmes
Up Monday.
Conspiracy to Defraud the American
Express Company Out of
s2s, 200 Is Alleged.
PRINCIPALS STILL IN JAIL

Judge Walter Evans will have an in
teresting case before him when he
goes to Owensboro, KY, next Monday
to hold the regular term of federal
court. 1t is the suit of J. II. Boatnei
against the American Express compa
ny for s2S. 900 alleged to have beer
lost by the defendant at Fordsville
Ky, in the su INNER OF 1902 by the al
legged robbery Of the company's agent,
j. Schlitzbaum.
Route Agent O. J. Abbott, Of Pa.
ducah, is one of the main witnesses
for the express company. The trial
bids fair to be one of the most interest
ing in the history Of the state. Boat.
ner, il will be remembered by many,
ostensibly shipped from Fordsville,
a package containing s2s.Ooc, for
which he took receipt. Schlitz-
baum, the Illinois Central and Ameri-
can express oompany's agent at Fords-
vile, claimed he was shortly after
wards held up and robbed OF the pack
age, and the robbers wers never caught
and the money, if there was any, was
never recovered.
The express company claimed II
was conspiracy to defraud the com.
pany Of the money. and that Schlitz-
baum and Boatner entered into an
Agreements. The company claims
Boatner never had s2s. 900 and never
shipped il, and that Sohlitzbaum was
never robbed.
Both schlitzbsum and Boatner are
still in Jail at Hartford, KY, and the
former was some time ago acquitted
On . charge OF conspiracy to defraud.
Charges Of embezzlement and receiv.
ing embezzled money respectively are
now pending against them, while
Bostner has q suit pending in the
United States court against the express
company to recover the $500 he
Slams he lost. The civil action has
been continued until May. but it is
the suit for s2s, 900 will be
'ried before Judge Evans next Monday
when court meets &C Owensboro.

AND SETTLE 1T.

Washington, Nov. 16-The Nation
al Sociological Society to consider the
race problem, which has been in SEES
sion here and attended by students of
the problem from different parts of
the country adopted . series of resolu.
tions on the subject. A mixed spe-
DIAL commission Of six members, thre Q
from each race, was created to carry
abe plans and conclusions into effect,
to lay the matter before congress. to
gather material and to aid as . perma.
nens body in the solution of the race
problem. The three members Of the
committee selected are: The Rev.
DR.. Dean Richmond Babbitt, rector
Of the church OF the Epiphany, Brook
lyn; the Rev. DR.. Bayo, of Boston,
and George Garham, Of Washington.
The colored members Of the commits.
sion are: James lawson, president Of

ton. This commission is to cooperate
with any commission which may be

arguments and efforts for the solution
of the race problem before the general
public and before the government.
Among other resolutions adopted was

No Tidings of Millionaire Wentz
Yet Discovered.
Young Philadelphian Disappeared a
Month Ago Yesterday in the
Mountains.
LEFT TO
NOTHING

Bristol, Tenn, Nov. 16.-It was
one month yesterday since Edward l..
Wentz, the young Philadelphia mil
lionaire, suddenly disappeared in the
mountains of Wise county, Va, on
the properties of the vast Vent
estate, with it's numerous mines and
coke plants. and the Illicit distilleries
of the moonshiners who live there.
In spite of the most wonderful
search that was ever instituted for a
lost man, in which, aside from the
hundreds of citizens who partici-
pated. the shrewdest detectives were
enlisted, not even the slightest trace
has been found of the young man since
the hour that his horse was found
standing in shallow ford of Powells
river, with the lost riders raincoat
attached to the saddle. From that
moment the disappearance Of the
young man was . mystery. and to
this time it has stubborniy refused to
yield to any effort to solve 1t.
Every nook and corner in the noun
tain region where young Wentz disap-
peared has been searched thoroughly,
but the search has revealed nothing
The general search has now been
and the only detectives
and citizens who are still hopeful Of
the big reward, are at work |
On the case. The Wentx family, It is
aid. have about abandoned all hope of
hiding the missing man, dead or
live. They are now only awaiting
developments, trusting to fate.
Every .heory in The case has been
ollowed to its limit, and there now
Gems nothing further to DO. The
mystery is looked upon as the most
puzzling in years, and the men who
have managed the search are frank to
ny that they cannos account for the
Of the young mau with
he slightest degree Of positiveness. 1t
s a case that will not admit of . set.
led opinion, but the belief IL now
that Wentz was murdered
nd his body burned or concealed.
