In the f1fties of the last century there
were two young lawyers. Gould and
Robinson. practieing in the court at

keen wit and Ingenuity in examining
witnesses and also for their many Sc

On one occasion, when Robinson had
finished an unusually able argument
for his client, containing some sting

Gould, by whom he was followed and
who retaliated, Robinson was seen to
take card, write something on 1t,
which was later found to be the Latin

drop 1t into Gould's hat on the table
Gould's curiosity sent him immedi-

loud enough to be heard all over the

Cathedral,s Title Chain.

ID a framed sheet Of paper hanging on
the wall of the southern entrance that
contains the complete chain Of title of
the property on which the edifice
stands from the time It was first sold
until the church authorities bought It.
The only reason for its being there SO
far as any one knows is to put q stop
to the old story that the property was
originally purchased by the church for
dollar. To settle this point the chain
Of title shows how much was paid for
it In the beginning. and from that
point on each change of ownership Is
accompanied By the price It was sold
for.

AIMS To PREVENT
CHILD LABOR

RICHMOND, Ind. Nov. 1S.-At a
meeting here today of representatives
of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation of Indiana and Ohio, Senator
Albert ]. Beveridge stated that on the
opening day of the coming session of
Congress he intended to introduce
bill prohibiting child labor throughout
the country and a bill to make more
rigid the present meat inspection law.
He said the child labor bill will
provide that no railroad, steamboat
or other carrier of Interstate comm cree
should transport or accept for trans
portation the produce of any factory or
mine that. employed children under IA
years of age. The bill, he said, would
provide that every carrier of inter
state commerce should require an af-
owner shipping it's products that it did
not employ children under IA years
of age, the form of the affidavit to be
prescribed by the Department of Com
merce and Labor or the Interstate
Commerce Commission with heavy pen
alties, both civil and criminal, for vio-
lation of the law. The bill, If it be-
practice of running future citizenship
by working children of tender age in
factories and mines.
There is no other way he said, to
reach this growing evil. A Federal
statute cannot be passed directly con-
trolling the factories and mines in the
states. That is the province of the
states. But Congress has absolute
power over the railroads, boats, ships
and other agencies of interstate com
merce, and unlimited power under the
constitution to provide that they shall
not carry the products of factories and
mines that employ children.
The bill to amend the meat inspec-
ton law will require the putting of
the date of inspection on every can OF
meat product, the packers to pay
the cost of inspection. These two pro-
visions, he said, are demanded by the
people, and agitation for them will not
cease until they become a part of the
law

To SAIL AN A|RSH|P
OVER POLE
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-Walter Well
man, who succeeded last summer in es-
tablishing a base on Spitzbergen for his
airship expedition to the north pole,
arrived Saturday on the Savoie of the
French line, confident he would be able
to sail over the coveted goal of explor-
ers next summer. Wellman, who was
accompanied by his chief aid. Major
Hersey meteorologist of the expedi-
ton expects to start from Spitzbergen
in July or August and reach the pole
within day or two.
Difficulties in getting his base ready
and defective construction in his air.
ship Wellman blames for his inability
to make a start last summer. These,
however, he said, had not surprised or
disappointed him, as he had chartered
his vessel, the Frithjof for two years,
with an option on third. The work
of preparation has been arduous.
Wellman said: "Peary has demon
strated, think, the impracticability OF
making the pole by sledging with dogs
over the ice He Is perhaps the most eff
f1cient man in the world today on Arctic
sledges He always maintained that If
he could establish base on the shore
of Grantland and get an early sledg-
ing start he could attain the pole. He
accomplished the former the last time,
but fell three degrees short of his goal.
II he cannot reach the pole in that way
l do not believe anybody else can"

Awkward System Hereto

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
OAKLAND, Nov. IS.-Important de-
velopments have resulted because of
the intention of the Southern Pacific
and Santa Fe companies to make En-
eryyille freight transfer terminal,
and 1T lis said that one of the objects of
President Ripley's visit to Oakland Is
to complete an understanding with the
officials of the Southern Pacific Conn
pans regarding the joint terminal.
Under existing conditions all freight
transferred from the lines of the Santa
Fe to the Southern Pacific Company
must go to Mojave, which is the west
ern transfer terminal of the Santa Fe,
and this means a delay of shipments. If
a carload of freight is shipped from
Stockton via the Santa sF'e to San Jose
it must first go to Mojave, and from
Mojave to its destination over the
Southern Pacific.
BY this system there is a needless
delay in the transfer of freight from
the point of shipment to its destina-
ton, and this has caused much COM
plant on the part of shippers. An IL
lustration of the complexfty of the
present system of the transferring or
freight between the two systems is
shown by the following information
given by one of the employees OF the
Santa Fe Company:
IF person in Point Richmond, the
freight terminus of the Santa Fe sys-
tenn on San Francisco Bay, should de-
sire to ship carload of freight to
South San Francisco, only a few miles
distant, over the lines of the Santa Fe
and the Southern Pacific, the latter be-
ing the only system by which the point
of destination can be reached, the car
would first have to be sent to Mojave
over the lines of the Santa Fe and
there transferred to the Southern Pa
cific, to be hauled by that company to
South San Francisco"
From the foregoing it may be seen
that there would be a long delay in the
arrival of the shipment at it's destina-
ton, or else the consignee in South
San Francisco, to whom the shipment
was billed, would be compelled to haul
the goods from the San Francisco ter
minal of the Santa Fe Company in San
Francisco to his warehouse or manu-
| factory in South San Francisco at his
| own expense. These conditions exist re-
| garding the shipment of freight from
| South San Francisco to any point In
| the bay counties reached by the Santa
Fe
| With the establishment of a general
| transfer point in Oakland this system
will undergo an entire change, freight
being shipped direct to destination
| over the most direct lines of eommuni,
! cation, regardless of whether those
lines are Santa Fe or Southern Pacific
which will enable the consignee to re.
ceive his goods without the present
| delay in transit.
