SCHOOL FOR CHICAGO WIVES.
Investigations of Compulsory Educa.
ton Department Interesting.

CHICAGO, March 21.-A school or at
least a special room, for child wives
may be established by the Chicago
board of education, as a result of in
vestigations completed today by the
compulsory educational department.
The search for wives of compulsory
school age was made by Superintend-
ent Bodihe, and, it is stated, has been
more fruitful than even the school Of

More than score of wives, under
the age of IA years, are said to have

of traffic in childwives between this

AFTERMATH OF SALEM ASSOClA-
TONS DECISION NOT TO
HOLD RACE MEET.
7,.o s+r;nos of Horses Are All That
Remains On Salem Tracks In
Consequence.

If the business men of Salem
doubt that they are in bad odor with
the racing fraternity of the nortn-
west circuit they have only to take
a trip to the fair grounds and look
I'D some of the visiting horsemen who
drop in there daily to talk over their
troubles, says the Salem Statesman.
According to the followers OF the
track. the business men of this city,
or a good portion of them, are very
short sighted in not having contrib
uted to the funds solicited by the fair
board as a guarantee against loss If
the races should be pulled off this
year.
One man figured it out thusly
Each handler of a string of horses at
the grounds had a monthly expense
account of from 5000 to $3.50. All
this was spent right there in Salem
among the business men of the city.
The expense was maintained for at
least five and often Tor SIX moHlHS
each year. And there were on an av-
erage of from six to seven strings of
horses at the grounds during this time.
It's a simple problem in rudimentary
mathematics to determine how much
the local business interests have
dropped in this one line alone. This,
.of course, was a mere bagatelle as
compared to the thousands of dollars
that would come to the city through
the patrons of the races in the five or
six days of the meet.
Horsemen are generally sore over
the matter and their wounds cannot be
easily healed The usual bustling
scene evident at the track about this
time every year is conspicuous by it's
absence this spring. Where there are
never less than five or six strings of
horses working out for the seasons
work there are only two this year.
More are due later ON, but the large
number that is usually here at this
time because of the preparations for
the annual racing dates here have re-
m3ined away.

SAYS CONSTITUTION BLOCKS 1T.
Railroad Lawyers Convince Some Sen
ators That Barrier Exists.

CHICAGO, March 21.-Walter Well
man in a Washington special to the
Record Herald, says:
Is the railway rate issue dead? Must
it fail because of it's unconstitutional
ity in the form it is now presented
and the impossibility of making it con-
stitutional without destruction of it's
usefulness?
An important discovery has been
made by senators who have been look
ing carefully into the proposed law.
Lawyers representing the big railway
interests of the country have prompted
them as to where to find the obstacle
that may prove fatal to the hopes of
those who have favored such enact
ment as that proposed in the Esch
Townsend bill, which passed the house
of representatives by nearly unani-
NOUS vote. aa
Senators "Astounded."
Senators who have inquired into this
matter admit they are amazed and
astounded at what they nave learned.
The constitutional objection which
thus has been raised is to form the
subject of searching inquiry by the
state committee on interstate COM
merce at it's meeting week or ten
days hence to consider the Esch-
Townsend measure. 0ta a
If the contention of the railroad
lawyers is found to be southland
many of the best legal minds in the
senate believe it is-then the pre-
diction is made that the proposed legis-
lation to provide government regula-
ton or rates must fall by the wayside
as an impracticable project, complete
ly blockaded by the constitution Of the
United States.

clares the constitution, ito regulate

WAS HE FIRST BABY BORN IN
THE TERRITORY OF
WASHINGTON.
Claimed Honor Belongs to Marced
Bernier Who First Saw the
Light Near Spokane.

The agitation which has been
started in the papers lately as to who
was the first white child born in what
is now the state of Washington brought
forth statement from Attorney John
P. Judson at the banquet given by the
Hibernians Thursday evening, says
the Spokane Chronicle. Mr.. Judson re-
sponded to tae toast: 1.-The State of
Washin gton," and went into the early
history of the state.
THE first white child" states Mr.
Judson, was born in Spokane county
in 1919. and his name was Marcel
Bernier. / knew Bernier for many
years. and he has often spoken of his
early life in Washington, which was
then the old Oregon territory. He was
born November 10, 1919, and lived
the graeter part of his life in the state,
diving at his home near Chehalis, De-
cember q, 1882"
In speaking further on the subjec1
last evening Mr.. Judson stated that ac-
cording to the accounts recently pub
lished there was no white child born
in this section until in the early 7Os.
Although there is no record of any
other births earlier than 1870, with the
exception of Bernier, Mr.. Judson is
positive that there were children born
to the missionaries who settled early
at Walla Walla.
Became Wagonmaker.
"Bernier was born of Canadian stock,
within the confines Of what is now
Spokane county, said Mr.. Judson.
His father was connected with the
Hudson Bay company. When young
boy Bernier was sent to a mission at
Boniface, Mont, where he received his
schooling. He returned to Cowlitz
prairie in 1S41 and in 1914 married Ce-
leste Bernier. He then settled in
Newaukum prairie and had fine
ranch.
I'm later life he was wagonmaker
and worked at his trade until he was
crippled by rheumatism. l have been
to his house many time and have
talked over the old days with him. He
frequently expressed a desire to return
to the Spokane county, the land of his
BIRTH
Came With an OK Team.
Mr.. Judson is we'll qualified to speak
on early Washington history. He made
the trip to Washington in 1853 in
wagon drawn by team of oxen. He
worked his way to the coast over
trailless route across the Cascades.
"Of all the pioneers who attended
the pioneers picnic last year every
person there, with two exceptions,
made the trip to Washington terri
tory by rail-" said Mr.. Judson.
Mr.. Judson is not alone in holding
that Bernier was the first white man
born in the state. Bancroft mentions
Bernier and gives his authority for the
statement that ne was the first white
child born in this region.

SHIPPING
SAFEGUARD
Earthwork Proposed to
Encircle Oil
Tanks.

At a meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce held yesterday it was voted
to have the regular meetings every two
months instead of quarterly.
A letter was read from Senator Dry
den of New Jersey president of the
Prudential Life Company, recommend
ing Federal supervision of life insur-
ance companies. This was endorsed
by the Chamber.
The committee chosen the day before
to cable to the widow of the late H.
Alexander Isenberg of H. Hackfeld &
Co, Ltd, and to address letter to the
firm, to express the sympathy of the
Chamber at the loss of Mr.. Isenberg,
reported that it had carried out the
suggestions.
An important matter discussed was
that respecting the oil companies which
have tanks in the Iwilei district. The
Chamber decided to ask the companies
what they proposed to do concerning
the recommendations of the Chamber
of Commerce with respect to taking
steps to minimize any possible dis
aster to shipping in case of fire oc-
curing in any of the tanks.
At the last meeting of the Chamber
committee especially appointed to look
into this saDiect reported that the
companies s. ould throw up an earth
work around their tanks, so that if
a fire broke out and the oil escaped, it
could not float into Kalihi Bay and
thence to the harbor, where shipping
would be endangered. The original
recommendation to this effect came
from the Board of Fire Underwriters.
An appropriation was made for the
maintenance of the National Guard Of
Hawaii for the quarter ending De-
cember 81.

race to be held next summer Yachts

and it is believed that enough interest
will be aroused among American
yachtsmen, at least, to have a large
number of entries cross the starting
line, say about July 4. 1906.
The trophy will be known officially
as the Hawaiian Cup" this being the
the Promotion Committee for the $500
prize which Will be offered by the COM
mittee. GA secondary prize, possibly
cup of the value of $50, may also be
offered As to whether the first named
cup shall be a perpetual trophy, is to
be determined later on, as some yachts
men on the Coast are not in favor of
such q plan.
1t is interesting to note in this con-
nection that Sir Thomas Upton will
be notified of the coming race, and if
Sir Thomas wishes to offer a cup he
will be given every opportunity to do
so.
The Promotion Committee held its
regular weekly meeting yesterday aft
ernoon, with Chairman Gartley, mem
bers E. I. SpaIding and F. c. Smith
and Secretary Wood present. As rep
resentatives of the Hawaii Yacht club,
Commodore H. E. Picker, and former

thusasm which had been manifested

that about a dozen others would be

GENERAL POLITICS.

Soon after this letter reaches Homo
lulu the November elections will be
held. Two weeks ago, these elections
promised to be of minor interest, but
the political fires have been flaming up
and there is quite as much interest IN
Washington at this moment over the
outcome as there was in the presiden-
tial election one year ago. Then Roos-
evelt s election was a foregone conclu-
sion. 1t was so certain that all interest
dropped out of the campaign proceed
ings.
Now there are grave elements of
doubt in several states and cities. The
unrest among voters, which shreWd
politicians have been noting in several
campaigns gone by, seems to have be-
come unusually prominent. This has
oeen encouraged by the disclosures OF
graft in many quarters. The upheav-
al in Philadelphia, where reform ele-
ment is fighting to wrest the city from
grafters and to elect an independent
city ticket, has been followed by the
wrecking of a Pittsburg bank where
the Republican leaders of the State
have very apparently been borrowing
money for all sorts of personal ven
lures. Although the State went for
Roosevelt a year ago by about 100000
majority it seems likely now that a
Democratic State Treasurer may be
elected. The reform party ticket will
probably be elected in Philadelphia.
New York City campaign has taken
on great activity. A hue and cry has
been raised against the Tammany can
didate for Mayor, and, although Mr..
Mcclellan. who has been a good mayor,
viii probably be reelected William
Randolph Hearst, a Municipal Owner
ship candidate, has scared the Tamma-
nv saehems. The fighting for advan-
tage is fast and furious and will evi-
IDENTIFY continue till election day. Be
sides the strife for the election of a
mayor, there is widespread interest IN
the independent candidacy of William
Travers Jerome for district attorney.
That part of the fight is only IN New
York county and does not extend to
Brooklyn and other portions OF the
greater city.

THE PRESIDENTS TOUR.

The eyes of Washington and, in fact,
of the whole country, have been, upon
President Roosevelt during the past
week in his tour of the South. He
has had Il triumphal trip. His reception
at Richmond, the old capital of the
Confederacy, was magnificent. There
was a mighty outpouring of people and
they We're enthusiastic in their demon
strations The best families of Vir-
ginia were represented in the gather
ings in the President s honor, and it
was not without significance that, after
his departure, prominent Democrats
publicly spoke of their political affec-
tion for the President, even suggest
ing that he should be nominated by the
Democracy for President in 1908.
Passing on to Raleigh, the capital of
North Carolina, few hours away, the
President met with another demonstra-
tion, but it was in no way as compli
mentary as that at Richmond. The
arrangements We're not good, the dec
orations in the streets and upon build
ings We're scanty, and the crowd was
largely composed of the lower classes.
Georgia, however. duplicated the hos
pitality of Virginia and at Roswell,
the home of his mother, and in At
lanta, the President was most cordially
received.
The effects of the trip in welding the
sections more closely in sentiment and
good feeling are already apparent, al
though at this writing there are still
several days IN the presidential journey
remaining Possibly the trip will
prove to be one of the most moment
Gus the President has taken since he
entered the White House little more
than four years ago. his popularity
hitherto has been less marked in the
South than elsewhere, but it looks as
though he has been making a conquest
in that section and will come back
firmly established in the affections of
the Southerners.
