Disgrace Of the National Capital.
The March number of Charities ana
the Commons, organ OF the publlcatloh
committee of the National Conference
Of Charities and Corrections, throws
powerful searchiight upon the WORK
of congress as a local governing body
for the District of Columbia. For ten
months past the agents OF this commit
tee have been gathering first hand data
Of the deplorable conditions prevailing
there. An appeal is made by such we'll
known men as Edward L. Devine, ia
cob A. Riis, Graham Taylor, Robert
w. DeForest and s. W. Woodward to
members of congress to give ear to re-
forms urgently needed. The investiga-
ton brings to light the fact that there
is no compulsory school attendance and
that 10000 children last year were not
in the schools. There are no laws
against children working. no special
juvenile court, no all the year play
grounds and no adequate housing laws
but slum conditions as bad as those of
Chicago and New York. Notwithstand-
ing that in 1900 there were 1000 chill
dren under fifteen at work in the Dis
trict a child labor law was defeated in
congress last year. Ben B. Lindse of
the Denver children's court says in a
signed editorial that in proportion to
Washington's population there are
more than twice as many SO called
thieves among the minors than adults.
From this he argues the need of a
juvenile court. The people back of this
movement wish it understood that they
are not merely criticising officials, but
that their purpose is to cooperate with
existing agencies at the capital.

LEGISL 4 TIVE
Coal and Oil Prober Signed.

Coal and Oil Prober Signed.
The president sent to congress mes
sage stating that he had signed the
joint resolution authorizing the COM
merce commission to investigate rail
road determinations and monopOlies
in coal and oil. At the same time he re-
buked the legislators sharply for what
he regarded as u loose and ineffective
measure He urged that its defects be
remedied by legislation and said that
unless this was granted the resolution
must be mainly and might be entirely
imperative. In the first place, he said
that a part of the investigation called
for is already under way by the de-
partment CT commerce and labor and
this may conflict with the proposed in
quiry The president also said that In
order to make the investigation efIec-
tive it would result in giving immunity
from criminal prosecution to ali per-
sons who are constrained to testify.
He called attention to the fact that the
resolution must remain imperative I'M
less money is provided to carry out the
Investigations. He thought it ques-
tionable whether the commission could
compel the attendance of witnesses as
the resolution now stands. He sug-
gested the appropriation of $4,000 for
this work.
Statehood Bill Cut In Two.

minority plus a dozen Republicans.

The Pennsylvania railroad manage

templated project Of constructing a
separate double track railroad from
Pittsburg to Philadelphia and New
York. The main advantage of this
project is that it will enable traffic
managers to separate freight and pas
senger trains entirely, thus avoiding
the expensive side tracking of slow
trains In order to operate fast ones.
The line is expected to cost 100000
and to require three years to complete,
together with extensive freight termi-
