 Tbs Morning.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Weather bureau reports show that the cold wave which yesterday was general in the middle west has penetrated New England, in the northwestern part of which the mercury has dropped below zero, west ern New York, where in several places the thermometer registers six degrees above zero, and also has reached south western Virginia. Its full force will be felt along the Atlantic coast late to- night or early tomorrow morning, ac- 'cording to the weather officials, who add that the indications are that there will not be any freezing temperatures in the northern half of Florida, as pre- dicted last night. In Washington to- night the temperature was twenty six degrees above zero, with the thermom- eter falling rapidly.

CURFEW TO RING TONIGHT
ALDERMEN PASS THE MUCH
 DISCUSSED ORDINANCE

Next Convention of Locomotive En-
 Giners Invited Here--StrcnuOus Ob-
 jections to Mill River Drnw-TO Ask
 ment--MunicipaI Art Commission Ap-
 pOinted-Much Routine Business
 Gone Through.
 At the regular monthly meeting of the board of aldermen last evening sev- eral important measures were passed, the chief of which was the so-called "curfew" ordinance. By the provisions of this ordinance children under four teen years of age, unaccompanied by guardians or parents, must not loiter on the streets and squares between 10 o'clock at night and clock in the morning. The measure is so framed that the police may use their own dis cretion in regard to individual cases.
 Nearly all the board favored the or dinance, and Alderman Woodford even wanted half-past nine substituted for 10 o'clock.
 Alderman Loos varied the opinion of the committee. He claimed it was not a "curfew" law, as it prohibited only loitering. As for its hindering the news boys, he said there were not enough papers sold between the hours of 10 and 3 to count at all.
 Alderman n-at-Large Healy declared that the children needed the few pen nies they earned, and that such ''class legislation" against them was unjust.
 Alderman Devine raised the objection that the ordinance would be harsh for the tenement dwellers in summer; but as the police would surely use their good judgment in such cases this result would not follow.
 MT. Homan, alderman-at-large, then drew pathetic picture of the small, nl-cIad boys sent out to earn or beg a few pennies, or even in some cases in hopes that they would die of exposure As for the girls, he said, it was unnec- essary to point out the dangers to which they were exposed.

ROOT OPTIMISTIC.
Thinks Dominican Treaty Will Pass
 Despite Democrats.

Washington, Feb. 5.-secretary Root to-day, when asked his opinion of the action of the democratic senatorial cau- GUS on the Dominican treaty, resulting in a pledge of united democratic votes adverse to that treaty, said:
 q regard the action of the caucus as establishing a conclusive presumption that the treaty has received the ap- proval of more than two-thirds of the senate. Else, why was the caucus call ed? It is true that the treaty may not receive the constitutional two-thirds of the votes necessary to give it effect, but if so, that would be the direct result of the caucus action"

ersand NayigatOrs.
 Under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce last night, MT. William B. Corwine, secretary of the American Reciprocal Tariff league of Washing ton, D. C., delivered an address upon The Reciprocal Tariff"
 He said in part: Since Alexander Hamilton inspired our first tariff, our history has been marked by grada- tion of some tariff. It has been our momentous American problem.
 There has been general opinion in all parts of our country and at all times in favor of some tariff to pro- tect our industries. We are entering the age when our industries need not such a fostering, high-wall protection, and this idea is even prevalent in the republican camp, and it Is our duty to extend our markets by treaties of reciprocity, Tariff wars cannot be ben- eticial. We are entering the age of reciprocal relations.
 We have been selling more than we import; then how long can we expect to deplete foreign treasuries?
 The doctrine of reciprocity is not new Great Britain has treaties of this na- ture, to draw to compact, her and her colonies. Germany is thus closely bound to seven European nationalities, and is clutching South America in this friendly war. James G. Blaine was it's American champion, but in this respect that man lived before his time. Harri- son seconded his efforts, and finally the Wilson bill checked this feeble growth, and it was checked until the Dingley act provided for its resurrection, and under its provisions all treaties of reel procity fostered, have met with a desuetude in the senate chamber-not even discussion is allowed in their memory.
 Are we in position to enter into a commercial war or ought we, as in the feeling words of our martyred presi- dent at Buffalo, to enter into recip- rocal relations with the world, and reap the benefits of a wide and friend ly commercial existence?
 We are now blessed with prosperity. Peace is at home and abroad. Our crops have been phenomenal, but sup pose we should have period of one or two years of crop failure, then sure- ly we will feel the need of reciprocal treaties which we have in the past treated with consideration less than disdain. The question is here and the

AWAITS JUDGMENT
Incubator Babe in Hands of Kan
sas Court Disposed of
Thursday.
MRS. BLEAKLEY TELLS STORY
Involves Fatherin-lau's Acts in Same
Manner as in Local Court-Books
Are Juggled.

IL is expected that the judge presid'
ing in the court at Lawrence. Kans.. in
the habeas corpus case involving the
incubator baby and the Bleakley and
Barclay families. will render a deci-
sion Thursday. He has heard the ar
guments and taken the matter under
advisement.
The testimony of Mrs BleaEley in
the main was as given OH the witness
stand in the Rock Island county circuit
court. The operations of Joseph Bleak
ley, her father-in-law. were told by her.
When Mr. Martin, the incubator man
ager arrived. a conference with Mrs.
BIeakiey and the elder Bleakley was
held in a hotel
BY intimidation and threatening TO
withhold aid in sickness. Mrs. Bleakley
was forced to- keep all her knowledge
OF her baby to herself. Pressure was
brought by the senior Bleakley to in
duce her TO sign single adoption pa
pares. but on her refusal adoption, pa
pers for both parents were sent few
weeks later. about a year after the
Bleakley marriage.
This chapter of the story in which
the father of Joe Bleakley takes the
part of a whiplash in Mrs. Bleakley's
destiny is full of cruelty. One instance
of the senior Bleakley's treatment of
his daughter-in-law was that he made
her sign waiver agreeing that she
would not appear in court if his son de-
sired to secure a divorce from her.
On getting her signature he prom
ised TO investigate the baby matter
in St. Louis. and if the baby should
prove to be Mrs. Bleakley's he would
not give away the adoption papers.
