Hearings in Case
May Be Open
to Public.

Chief Justice William III. Beatty of
the California Supreme Court has con-
scented to act as the third arbitrator on
the board which is to settle the dispute
as to wages and hours between the
United Railroads and the carmen. with
Rev. Peter c. Yorke, nominated by the
Garments Union, and Francis j. Heney,
selected by the corporation, the Chief
Justice Will meet this evening and ar
range for the opening of the arbitra-
tiOn proceedings.
Both Heney and Chief Justice Beatty
have expressed themselves in favor of
having open sessions, so it may be pre-
sumed that when the board gets to-
gether, the latter part of this week or
the first of next, the public will be per-
mitted TO follow the deliberations.
II is not known when the taking of
testimony will commence. That rests
largely with Chief Justice Beatty, whose
judicial duties will occupy his time until
next Friday, September %. Heney is
out for the trio and he will suggest
night sessions of the hearing, to COM
mence Wednesday night.
Last evening Father Yorke went to
Benicia. He will return this morning
At o'clock this afternoon he and
Heney viii meet in Heney's Offices,
1109 Franklin street, and the two rep
resentatives will plan the details of
the hearings. The time and place of
meeting will also be decided upon. At
the conclusion of the conference the
clergyman and attorney will confer
with the Chief Justice, and it is pre-
sumed that by this evening the sched-
ule of the arbitration will have been
arranged.
PLACE FOR THE SESSIONS.
1t was originally intended to hold
the sessions in the directors room at
the United Railroads oTrices at Oak and
Broderick streets. When The plan for
open sessions was considered. however,
it became apparent that the room
would not accommodate those who
would assemble at the proceedings.
The official personnel, in addition to
the three arbitrators. will consist of
Thornwell Mullally and Tirey L. Ford
for the United Railroads, President Cor
nelius and Secretary Bowling of the
Carmen's Union. and probably H. L.
Worthington of the Electrical Work
ers and Secretary w. P. McCabe of the
San Francisco Labor Council.
1t was suggested that the hearing
be conducted in the rooms of the Su-
preme Court at Century Hall, but un-
der the lease which the State holds
from the Century Club the building
cannot be used for any purpose other
tnan the transaction or court business.
In discussing the prospective pro-
ceedings Heney said yesterday:
Personally, I am in favor of open
meetings, and I think that Father
Yorke will be. but at our conference
this morning he said nothing about that
matter. 1t would be immaterial to Chief
Justice Beatty, though 1 understand
he has expressed himself in favor of
the open sessions. The proceedings are

Progressive Tribe.

The annual school report of the
Cherokee nation records the estab-
!ishment of seventy-five new schools
during the past year, a fact which does
not encourage the belief that the In
dian is Indifferent to advancement.
Each native contributes to the support
Of these public schools, which are in
no sense missions, but are maintained
wholly by the community. The teach
ers are usually Of Indian descent.
The Cherokee tribe commands re-
spect for it's heroic waging of con.
test which for; 200 years involved it's
very existence.
Driven from its ancestral domain in
Georgia to the far west, it has built
up a nation which is intelligent, and
which possesses many of the noblest
qualities. The constitutional govern
ment has its headquarters at Table
quah, in substantial capitol building.
From the first the tribe gave evi,
dence Of superiority. In the early part
Of the 18th century an embassy was
sent from the Cherokees to England.

George H. laid their offering, as an
old chrOnicler states it, of five eagles

A Plantation Story.
Being Aunt Jinsey's Tale Of the Bird
That Bought Bargains.

BY GRACE MACGowAN COOKE,
in St. Nicholas.


On his seventh birthday little Pate
received silver quarter for one of his
gifts; and he was. allowed to go down
to the small country store with Uncle
Bergen, the coachman, that he might
spend it. He returned with-Of all
things, on plantation where fat poul
try were plenty-a lean and protesting
old speckled hen!
His mother was upstairs in her own
room; Aunt Jinsey, his colored mann

lery.
What you got dar, honey boy?" she
asked, curiously. What you do with

returned Pate, stautly His own belief
in the suitability OF the purchase was
beginning to weaken.
Aunt Jinsey threw up her hands and
laughed. "Oh, yah-yah--yah!" she
shouted, "Aiu't we all got chickens
'uough on dis Rroadlands plantation,
widout you go to de sto' an buy dat
OF hen what look like she belong to
Mathusalem's grandmother" she In
quired.
| Patricia and Isabel here joined the
court of inquiry. Perhaps they had
hoped for some small treat when their
! brother returned.
"But she was so cheap" murmured
the little boy, disconsolately, as he
seated himself on the gallery steps and
nursed bis purchase.
"Nothin' amt cheap what you don't
want" said Aunt Jinsey, conclusive
ly. "Suttin'ly not sorry OF hen like

In Miss-sippy, an mo- dan we-all kin

The gloom deepened on Pate's coun-
tenance. The old nurse saw it, and to
relieve the situation offered one OF the
ready tales with which she was wont to
instruct and admonish her little brood.
"You minds me o. young Miz. Song
sparrer. Dat lady wuz what you might
call bargain seeker. She amt think
bout much else. She ain talk bout
much else. All she kin say dest,

This sounded promising, and all

surprising, since the position in the
| economic scale usually determines the
extent of pauperism probable ex-
PLANTATION of this seeming paradox is
that negroes are represented in the
almshouses in accordance with the pro-
vision made for them rather than their
necessity.
The foreign born whites, whose eco
nomic position is not high, show a
greater tendency towards pauperism
than the native whites of native par
entage and native whites of foreign
parentage. There is, however, no rea-
son to believe that many immigrants
drift into almshouses soon after their
arrival in the United States, for only
2.3 per cent of all the foreign born in
almshouses had been in this country
less than years. Among the different
nationalities of foreign born whites the
degree of thrift, combined with racial
characteristics, seems to determine in
large part, the tendency towards pau
perism.
That pauperism is in a large measure
a concomitant of age and it's accom-
panying evils is shown by the large
percentage (59.7) at least 50 years of
age and the rapid increase in the num-
Der of almshouse paupers in each Of
the succeeding quinquennial age per-
iods between 50 and 65 years, after
which the high death rate prevents any
further increase.
