A scare was started at the state
house by the report that the legislature
would not convene until after the state
officers have gone out of office, which
would prevent the secretary of state
from calling the house of representa-
tives TO order and the outgoing gov
ernor from delivering his message.
The constitution provides against such
a contingency. The legislature must
convene at noon, the first Tuesday In
January, which, this year will be
New Years day. The term Of state
officers expires the first Thursday after

KEEP Them OUT.
Don't Send Morally Tainted
Girls Into Homes.
Miss Vida Francis Sounds Note
Of Warning.
THREE COURSES OPEN.
Problem Facing Judges of Juge-
nile Courts.
Only One Favored Is That of
Training School.
THREE COURSES OPEN.

Philadelphia, May 1.-THE "de-
linquent girl was discussed today at
the morning section meeting of the
national conference of charities and
corrections. The subject was present
ed by Miss Vida H. Francis, of this
city, who said in part:
THE radical difference in proportion
between boy and girl delinquents and
in ratio of the nature of crime com
mitted by each will serve to Illus
trate the point which most desire to
emphasize, that the problem of the
one is not the problem of the other.
THE recent wonderful strides of BIZ
illogical phsycOlogy makes it seem in
credible that our juvenile courts are
still applying the same methods of
of a juvenile court has three courses
open to him: First, to send the girl
back to her same environment under
the care of a pTobationer; second, to
place her in a good home through the
probationer or some child placing
agency; third, to send her to a train
ing school
"A girl morally tainted should OBJ
viously not be returned to the scene
of her infection, and only in cases of
trivial misdemeanor or in the excep-
tional case of a good normal home
can a girl be safely so returned, for
her misdemeanor has proven that the
home is unable to exert proper infiu-
ence or power.
I'm placing girls uninfected by the
social evil but Of criminal tendencies
and guilty of trivial misdemeanors. the
danger is that they will not receive
an adequate special training. The
place of the normal child is in the
normal home, but every delinquent
needs a special additional care and
heavy responsibility rests on judges to
examine the reputation of the families
in which the dehnquents are placed
and on probationers to see that they
live up to their regulations and re-
sponsibilities.
NO words can be strong enough
to urge judges not to send girls who
are actually morally tainted into
homes. If it is a crime against the
home and community to harbor q per-
son afflicted with smallpox, is it not a
greater crime to keep in the home a
person capable of injecting others
with a moral evil more hideous than
physical disease2 And it is not only
a crime against others, but against the
girl whom we are claiming to help

Big SUM FOR PANAMA.
Congress WIN Be Asked for Twenty
six Millions.

Washington. May 11.-Demand being
made by the house committee on ap-
preparations for the estimates for work
on the banana canal to carry on the
work during the next fiscal year, 6ecre-
tary Taft has explained to the commit
tee that it will be impossible to submit
detailed estimates until the arrival here
of Chief Engineer Stevens who is now
on his way from the isthmus.
The total to be asked for is said to
aggregate $4,000. O0e but owing to the
lack of knowledge here as to the
amounts to be asked for to pay skilled
and unskilled labor the figures can not
be submitted. The committee is to in
clude this appropriation in the sundry
civil appropriation bill, which Is now be-
ing compiled. Tt is understood that the
estimates will be made the subject Of
extended hearings before the commit
tee, that the members may be in posi-
ton to give the house detailed inforrna-
ton regarding the necessity for each
item included.
This will cause some delay in the I'm
ishing of the sundry civil bill which it
had been hoped to get into the house
next week.

light plants at ottawa are getting it
at the same price and the same IS true
at Kansas City, Kan, where the pack
ing houses not burning crude oil are
using gas
There's hitch but we will get this
ten cent gas yet and don't you forget
it, said c. K. Holiday, president of
the gas company. The basis on which
the distribution of the natural gas is
made in Topeka is that 6 % of every
dollar goes to Mr.. Mcdowell of the
SO 1-3 to the local company Now on
this ten cent manufacturing rate Mac
Dowen wants IA cents and we are to
get 21k cents. I have got this letter
from Mr. Brady, owner Of the plant:
g L am perfectly willing that the rate
should be ten cents to the people you
mention and to power users, but / am
not willing that Mr.. Mcdowell should
get rs per cent of that 10 cents instead
of the IS 2-3 which his contract calls
for. So that what you want to do is
to use your influence with Mr.. Mac
Dowell if you have any.
Sincerely yours,
Mr.. Mcdowell did make this prom
ise to the Commercial club that the
rate should be as low as to the sur
rounding towns and it will be. The
reason why Atchison, ST. Joseph, Law
renee and these other towns have got
ten cent rate is I think because they
have gone right ahead without waiting
to arrange things with Mcdowell,
leaving him to hold the sack I think
that it win end UP in a big law suit
and I presume that Mr.. MacDowen
is holding off on the suit and doesn't
want to press it yet
