and laborers become skilled plumbers.
While these courses are not now included in
the curriculum OF the local association, 1t
Is planned to add some of them as the de-
mand arises.
Line Of Activity.
Educational clubs constitute another line
of activity. and in the various associa lions
there are six hundred educational clubs Of
more than one hundred different kinds
These include current topic. camera and
sketch clubs. ninety musical clubs and
eighty orchestras or bands.
Schools for employed boys are now being
developed. in which elementary education
is taught to boys under sixteen years Of
age. There are now thirty of the evening
institutes for employed boys, one here, and
more than seventy educational clubs among
the boys.
Among the innovations suggested for the
local Y. M. c. A. Is an automobile school.
The first one of the kind in the world was
formed by q Y. NJ G. A. and there are now
eighteen Of them in existence. A course in
commercial advertising and another in
craftsmanship are suggested by Mr.. Hodge
for Washington.
In conclusion Mr.. Hodge related stories Of
the products Of the Y. M C. A. schools
AS the result Of conference between Mr.
Hodge, Educational Director Jones and the
educational committee and faculty OF the
local department yesterday afternoon 1t
was practically decided to inaugurate a
school for educating chauffeurs, another for
training in advertising, and third in plain
reading estimating and structural steel
work for contractors.

you and that Is why am one Of YOU
Mr.. l.. C. Williamson, who sat at the mead
table, was the next speaker. He said he
thought the association workers should look
out for the boys from the country.
Educational Work Discussed.
As the result of the visit OF Mr.. Hodge,
the educational international secretary. the
work of the educational department here, 1t
is declared, will receive a great impetus.
In his address, which was profusely Illus
trated with lantern slides. he showed the
practical work being done by other associa-
tons throughout the country and gave sew
eral suggestions for an improvement and
enlargement Of the scope of the work In
this city
The educational work is along several
lines, embracing reading rooms. libraries,
practical talks, educational clubs and
classes. Seven hundred associations main
tain library facilities. In $50 associations
class room work Is given. In which 1900
teachers and $1,000 students participate.
The average age of the student Is twenty
two years. In figuring the value OF educa-
ton. he estimated that an educated man
earns in forty years $4,000: an uneducated
man earns $4,000. The difference in favor
of education is $4,000. man spends $50
days a year for twelve years for his educa-
ton. Therefore. his education Is worth $40
per day to him.
A new line Of development for educational
work. it was explained. is the giving OF
practical talks to wo-kmen in their shops
during the noon hour. In manufacturing
shops through the country last year 800 OF
these were given
Courses in technical and manual training
are regarded as meeting the needs of many
men and the association educational depart
ments are offering many courses in mold
ing, plumbing. casting, machine building
and operation. steam and electrical engi-
neering, etc. by which courses stOkers be-
come chief engineers or foremen OF shops

BAILEY IS EXCITED
He Calls People Names in the
Senate Today.
DenOunces Published State
ments as Base FalsehOOds.
WAS NOT HIS FAULT.
Had Nothing to Do With Failure
to Agree.
Never Conferred With President
Nor Chandler.
WAS NOT HIS FAULT.

Washington, May 16.-The calm of
the senate's discussion of the railroad
rate bill was disturbed today by a
personal interruption by Senator Bailey
who rose to a question OF personal priv
ilege to make reply to a charge made
in the Chicago Tribune yesterday by a
washington correspondent to the eff
feet that Mr.. Bailey had been response
bic for the failure of the agreement
between the president and Senator
Tillman. Former Senator Chandler was
given as authority for the statement
that Tillman has been suspicious OF
Bailey, who, it was also stated was
really opposed to rate legislation and
was also in constant conference with
Senator Aldrich with the purpose Of
defeating the rate bill. After this state
ment had been read Mr.. Bailey took the
floor and said deliberately:
have taken no part in the Ques-
ton of veracity between the president
and Mr. Chandler and had not even
given any public expression on the
question of good faith, because knew
nothing about either question. I had
never conferred with the president d.
rectly nor with Mr.. Chandler. It was
therefore a matter of great surprise to
me when a senator called my attention
to the extract which l have had read.
That correspondence 1t was understood
was sent by a correspondent who IS
very. close to the White House and is
presumed to speak with some degree
of authority concerning transactions
there I do not know as to the truth
of that and 1 do not charge that his
statement was made with authority.
But denounce the publication as an
unqualified, deliberate and malicious
lie. I denounce that correspondent as
an unqualified. deliberate and malicious
liar. ] denounce the man who inspired
the statement as an unqualified, delib-
crate and malicious liar, whoever he
may be and however high the office he
holds"
The statement was made in a delib-
crate monotone, but it was none the
less impressive on that account. It was
received with absolute silence and the
until. indeed, Senator Tillman had Ia
ken the floor also on a question of per-
sonal privilege because the article
quoted had stated that he had been
suspicious of Mr.. Bailey. He had read
the parts of the correspondents letter
which Mr. Bailey had omitted and then
proceeded with his statement, saying:
This correspondence is undoubtedly
muck rake. Into whose house the
handle goes or what hand holds it
will not attempt to say"
He said he counted eight distinct
falsehoods in the article, but he desired
to address himself first to a denial that
he had ever been suspicious of Senator
Bailey. He declared his great esteem
and admiration for the Texas senator
and that their cordial relations had al
ways existed.
