COLLEGE MEN AS FARMERS.
School of Communism Started at Har-
ward University.

A number Of men at Harvard inter-
ested in farming are organizing them
selves to conduct an ideal farm which
is to be run on a cooperative scheme
and which looks very much like a new
school Of communism, says a dispatch
from Cambridge, Mass. Specific plans
have not yet been made, but the gen
eral scheme has been mapped out, and
at a meeting to be held soon some sort
of an organization will be perfected.
A corporation or stock. company prob
ably will be formed, the funds of which
will be raised by subscription. If pos
sible a large tract Of land will be
bought situated on a river and within
reach of a city. The land will be dlvid-
ed into small farms, each man being
at the head Of one of them and devot-
ing himself to particular branch Of
farming. The land will, however, be
held in common, and each man makes
or loses according to the success of the
farm as a whole.
A committee of nine has been ap-
pointed to investigate suitable sites,
and they are now looking into tracts
Of land in New York, Virginia, Kansas
and the far west. This committee will
report at a meeting to be held in the
near future.
Among the men interested in the
scheme are well known athletes.

ITO LAWSONIZE OR NOT TO LAW
SONIZE" WAS THE QUESTION.
The Meeting in Atlanta Was a Lively
One. Some UncOmpIimentary
Epithets Were Passed.

The meeting in Atlanta Of the Geor-
gia policy holders of the New York
Life and the Mutual Life Insurance
companies to formulate plans to pro-
tect their interests in the next annual
meeting of the companies proved to
be a stormy one. Strong language was
used and uncomplimentary epithets
were applied.
Wild and Woody.
1t was a wild and woody meeting and
Thomas w. Lawson of Boston woke
it up. .Policy-holders about 300 strong
packed the convention hall, and Law
son was eulogized as a patriot and
denounced as gambler.
A letter had been received from
Thomas W. Lawson requesting that
he be given the proxies ofIthe Georgia
policy holders, to be USED by MIN al
the annual meetings OF tie companies.
Mr.. Lawson's plans and methods were
condemned in no unusual terms by
some and by others as earnestly up
held
The meeting seemed to be divided on
what was termed to 'LawsOnize or not
to LawsoniZe."
They Are Thieves.
George C. Spence of Atlanta started
the excitement when he began to eulo-
oize Tom Lawson and to denounce the
Officers of the great insurance com
nanies as "thieves and robbers.
.sSome NAV call them grafters,
cold he ssbnt 7 cali them Just plain
thieves, for they are taking pollcy-
holders money and the money of.Wld-
ows and orphans"
Lawson Is Denounced.
Mr.. Spence's speech caused a heated
discussion. Jack j. SpaIdlng ana
Capt. James W. English denounced
Lawson and declared they were IN
willing to give him their proxies. Mr..
SDalding declared that he was com
mon stock gambler, who had maze
fortune bv deceiving the people ana
inducing them to buy copper. Captain
English also denounced him as a bad
character. who would sell out II 1t was
to his interest.
No Definite Action Taken.
The Disbursements of the morning
session were not settled then, and ad-
iournment was taken until evening.
At that time a prolonged session was
held which continued until nearly
midnight, with the result that reso-
I1tion was adopted that the policy
holders of the "old line" companies
organize, and the question OF giving
tn MIR. Lawson authority to represent
Georgia policy-holders was left for
ell decision until the second Tues
day la February, 1906, when the com
mittee of five on organization will re-
port.

The Modern Mist1etoe.

Prominent in the Christmas revels
and, with the holly, most essentially
"Christmassy" Of all the plants used
was the mistletoe, says Frances Dun
can in the December Critic. With us
the old significance and sacredness
have gone, leaving but charm enough
to give the well known privilege to the
man who meets a girl beneath. There
exists also in some places the tradition
that the girl who is not kissed under
the mistletoe will not be married for a
year. (The present writer once knew
a thoughtful and provident damsel who
wore a hat trimmed with the sacred
plant) But the kiss permitted in olden
time was originally Of the apostolic va
riety, our mistletoe celebration being
borrowed from Scandinavian lore.

Civilians,
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON. May IA rule is
about TO be adopted by the War De-
partnient that none but civilian clerks
in the employ Of the Government and
the wives and children Of army. officers
will be allowed TO travel on army trans
ports to and from the Philippines, as
result of the abuse of transport priv
ileges resultant from influence brought
TO bear on the quartermaster general
here.
While il is rot officially admitted at
the War. Department, the report re-
ceived here by telegraph is that the
transport service at San Francisco has
tried to make the Washington head
quarters responsible for the abuses that
are known to have existed. This has
created some feeling. At the War De-
partment II is said that If specific
charges be filed against the manage
ment of the transport service a
special investigation will be ordered.
The cost of operating the transports,
while greatly reduced as compared
With Spanish h-Anlerican war times, is
known TO be much greater than was
expected, and the reform or abolition
OF the service may follow.

FORTY KILLED
At zHITOMIR
Private Reports Add to
the Estimates of the Num-
Der of Jewish Victims
STERN WARNING POSTED
Troops Will Shoot Down
Any Persons Molesting.
the Hebrew Residents

ST. PETERSBURG, May 12-Some
private reports from Zhitomir place
the number of persons killed as high
as forty. The Governor of volhynia
has caused the streets of Zhitomir to
be placarded with notices to the effect
that the troops have received instruc-
t1ons to fire upon any persons inter-
fer1ng with the Jews.
The Official Messengers account of
the In1tomfr outbreak attributes 1t to
the provocative attitude of the Jews,
VINO, 1t adds, used a portrait Of the
emperor as target in shooting prac-
tice and committed many assaults
upon Christians in the streets.
The official account OF the disorders
at Ahitomir says that a general mas
sacre was prevented only by the en-
ergetic measures taken by the au-
thorities. 1t attributes the outbreak
largely to the situation created by the
Jews and revolutionary agitators. cit
Ing the fact that on April % 300 armed
Jews assembled in the State forest
near Zhitomir for target practice and
used portrait of the Emperor as a
target. When the peasants. attracted
by the firing, protested against this
use OF the Emperor's portrait, the Jews
explained that the Israelites would

Jew struck Christian boy Of Is
years, who used penknife to defend
himself. He was Immediately sur
rounded by a crowd Of threatening
Jews and was only rescued by the po-
lice. Still later while several Jews,
sentenced for political crimes, were be-
ing conveyed to prison. their co-relig-
fonists made a demonstration, loudly
cursing the Emperor. In another in
stance the Jews set upon a Christian
who had entered the Jewish quarter,
covering him with mud and beating
him. They also forced several shops
to close The official statement con-
cludes as follows:
The Minister of the Interior has also re-
ceived news of other cases in which Jews
have insulted and even beaten women. The
Christians are greatly incensed and excited.
Besides this the social revolutionists have
scattered proclamations telling Jews that a
massacre is contemplated. Everything shows
that the cruelties were perpetrated under the
influence of the revolutionists. which is en-
barrassing the authorities in preventing en-
counters between the Jews and the Christians.

SEEK TO LEARN
YANKEE METHOD

LONDON, May 13.-In Northampton,
which is the center of the English boot
and shoe industry. the effects Of Amer
lean competition have been so keenly
felt that the National Association of
Boot and Shoe Makers Of Great Britain
and Ireland is sending out to the
United States two of its members to
attempt to learn what 1t Is that en-
ables the American workInen to turn
out work so much faster than the Eng
lishman. Harry Bullock Of Northamp-
ton and Thomas Walsh of Dublin are
the representatives chosen. They ex-
pect to arrive in New York shortly,
and will proceed at once to visit the
leading centers of the boot and shoe
industry in the United States.
There Is a feeling among the boot
and shoe makers in England that Amer
lean workmen must be "sweated" to
turn out so cheaply the class of goods
that is placed upon the English mar
ket in competition with the home
made article. They cannot understand
how, otherwise, footwear of such ex-
cellent finish can be produced at such
moderate cost Anyhow, they are bent
on finding out just how 1t is done.
Walsh and Bullock are both expert
craftsmen. The former is what is
known as hand sewn" man, and the
latter a finisher. They have been Sc
lected on account of their skill and In
telligence, and 1t is expected the report
they Will make on their return will be
well worth what 1t will cost the trade
organization for their expenses.

Longer Sessions of Congress.

1t is becoming apparent that the ac-
tivities Of the two houses, instead of
being curtailed in the public interest,
must In the near future be materially
enlarged. Congress has no longer time
enough in which to do its legitimate
and necessary work. Under our pres
ent arrangement of long and short ses-
sions three months are given one year
and about six months another year to
legislative business. The House of
Representatives elected in November.
1904 could not meet, except through a
call from the President, until Decem-
Der, 1908. Two months would have to
be taken to complete an organization,
and then, with their own canvasses for
denomination and reelection already
beginning, the members would be ex-
pected to settle down to work In a
Presidential year everything must be
sacrificed to forcing an adjournment
by June. In a midterm year the strug-
gle for the control Of the next House
has an equally distracting effect Thus
at the long session passing questions of
party politics assume wholly arti-
fetal Importance, while at the short
session there is barely time to crowd
through the routine appropriation
work To accomplish anything of spe-
cial Importance an extra session has
now to be called.-New York Tribune

NEGRO TELLS STORY.

The negro who put young Croker on
the train last night was Charles Wood
son, a porter at the Coates Hotel.
Woodson says that Croker arrived at
the hotel about o'clock last night in
an intoxicated condition. After check
ing small valise at the hotel, Croker,
the negro says, asked him where there
was hop joint
After repeated requests Woodson
says that he agreed to accompany
Croker to such a resort. They went
together to a Chinese resort on Sixth
street, between Wyandotte and Della
ware, where they remained an hour.
Woodson says that he then took Croker
direct to the train.
Croker's valise is still at the hotel.
Croker did not register at the hotel and
1t is not believed that he stopped at
any other hotel during his brief stay
in the city.
Herbert Croker was nearing his
twenty-third year. He was an expert
golfer, lover of dogs and thorough
sportsman. He started in business
after finishing his studies at Cornell
University and secured a position in
the shipbuilding plant of Lewis Nixon
