TEACHING BIOLOGY.
Science Teachers Hear Interesting
Stories about This Study.

Biology Is not widely recognized form OF
recreation but when DR.. Gilbert n. Trarton. OF
the Passaic High School. had finished talking
about It yesterday at the New York State
Science Teachers Association. which is holding
its annual Meeting at Teachers College. It wcs
plain that as a breeder OF hobbies few branches
of human knowledge excel 1t.
ITO the growing boy especially biology offers
vital interests which may tide him over evil
amusements and companionship." said DR.. Traf-
ton And then he told of lad OF thirteen or
fourteen. young friend Of his. who had bean
for months feeding the birds and trying 20
tame them.
'FIe strung wire from his bedroom window 70

little trolley. Every day he would pull the
trough up five inches nearer his room. and
when he got impatient he would pull it up a
foot or two

and the boy took some suet in his palm. and
soon had the pleasure of swapping a chickades

Of three into which the one hundred OF so
teachers present divided themselves after the
general meeting with which the convention

URGES PLANS FOR PEACE.
Board of Trade and Transportation
AppeaIs to President.

At a meeting of the Board OF Trade and
Transportation which was held yesterday at No.
209 Broadway. resolutions were adopted asking
President Roosevelt TO instruct the United
States delegates TO the Hague conference In
1907 10 urge favorable consideration Of the fol-
lowing:
plan by which the Hague conference may
become permanent and recognized congress of
the nations, with advisory powers; a general
arbitration treaty for the acceptance OF all ma
tiOns; a plan for the restriction Of armaments,
and If possible for their reduction by concurrent
international action.
John H washburn said that he approved OF
the resolutions except for the suggestion that
armaments be reduced, which he thought might
be considered an impertinence coming from this
country. He would like 10 see he said. the same
suggestion come from some power which would
be more directly affected by such change. Z.
piled that the suggestion Of disarmament could
not be considered a new one. having previously
been urged by Great Britain, France and Russia
The resolutions were finally adopted as they
stood.

WEIGHING MACHINES STAY.
Court Rules That Subway Company Has
Right to Lease Privilege.

Justice Mccall. OF the Supreme Court has de-
cided that weighing and vending machines can re-
main IN the subway, He handed down decision
yesterday IN which he refused to grant the pernA-
nent Injunction asked for by the Board OF Rapid
Transit Commissioners against the Interborough
company. The decision reads as follows:
The roao as operated maintains stations in which
II he's permitted automatic Weighing machines TO
ascertain their weight by standing a small plat
form and dropping coin in the slot.
The question before this court is whether the
city. through It's Rapid Transit Board, gave the
defendant the right TO maintain these machines in
the stations Of the subway by the lease of the
railroad and its appurtenances. This privilege Is
said TO be worth $4,000 year to the defendant,
and II is strongly urged by the defendants counsel
that such machines are incidental TO the enjoy
ment Of the leased property. Plaintiffs counsel on
the other hand, has urged that the instrument by
which defendant operates the subway Is grant or
franchise which must be most strictly construed
against the granite and that the instrument being
silent the question OF the right to maintain
II is made appear that advertising privileges
and the maintenance OF newsstands afford very
extensive revenue, which is customar!ly taken into
account part of the legitimate earnings Of al
railroads
Having leased the road 10 the defendant without
restriction reservation as 70 this right, I
OF the opinion that such right passed to the de-
fendant incident Of its enjoyment of the
property, and that the defendant has the right tc
their maintenance sc long IL does not interfere
with the careful and skilful operation OF the road

ENGL1sHMAN DEFENDS THE KING.
Engineer Says Jealous Fnanciers Are Back
of Congo Stories.

R. G. Mathot well known British engineer
who has spent much time IN the Belgian Congo
sailed for Antwerp yesterday on the iceland. Mr..
Mathot said that while he was neither a friend
Of King Leopold a dabbler in politics he was
fair enough to say that the reports Of atrocities
IN the Congo were without foundation.
Most OF the matter I have read in the news
papers about the Congo is rot he said. at am
confident that a number of English hnanciers are
behind the attack on King Leopold. They have
resorted to these tactics because they are piQued
at having 10 interests in the Belgian Congo. II q
few case OF nutiiation have been 2erpetrated, We
hnancers have been at the bottom Of it.
y do not like King Leopold. but I do like fair
play. Nearly twenty-five years ago the King was
comparatively a poor man. He put most OF his
spare money in the Belgian Congo. In that time
the various companies who obtained from him GER
tain rights to establish industries repaid him with
large blocks OF stock. From his holdings TODAY he
derives large income, and the English fnanciers
ere worried because they have no share in these
well paying industries"

MORE TROUBLE FOR N. D. LAwToN

Mineola- Long Island. Dec. 26.-An application
was made to day by counsel for Mrs J. A Laird
and Miss Susan Christian the Jersey City
legatees under the will OF the late Susan J.
Woolley, who died some time ago, leaving an
estate valued at about $15OOOO. asking the
court TO Issue an order compelling Newbury D.
Lawton TO pay them their share of the estate.
Mr. eawton is the executor of the Woolley es-
tate. Surrogate jackson. however, said he did
not think he could make the order at this time,
as there were already judgments against the
executor by the other legatees OF the estate
amounting to over $4,000. and that he consid-
cred 1t useless to allow any more judgments
until Lawton could be found and made to ex-
plain Counsel for the legatees said that Law
ton cannot be found and It is believed he is in
hiding somewhere AL efforts to find him have
been futile and his Office in New York is de-

GATES'S NAME Il WARNING

TFhen Told of John VS. Bets.

Martin Winter. young German, who says he
is private secretary to Daniel q. Reid, president
Of tie Tin Plate Trust. was In the West Side
court yesterday afternoon to push the charges
ne made against twelve alleged fake wire
tappers Winter made every effort TO conceal
the name OF his employer. but finally gave IT.
Winter had testified that when one of the
prisoners told him that John W. Gates had
often made bets of $4,000 in the room he was
then In he became suspicious, and refused to
make any more bets. This. he says saved him
$1,000
Six of the alleged wiretappers were discharged.
The six gave their names as George Friedman.
Frank Rivers. Frank Parker Richard O'Con-
nor James Hayes and Morris Nelson. Magis-
trate Cornell said he would hold the other until
Monday. when he would announce his decision
Winter told the court that he had read an ad-
vertisement in German paper. On answering
it Friedman called and told the old. old story
of having a brother-in-law in charge of the
racing news bureau" of the Western Union.
He then described how the "brother-in-Iaw"
had eventually advised him to bet on Goldberg;
how he had done this and won. He said that
Rivers "cashed in" for him he told him that
ordinarily he didn't take such small BETS" and
said. 'Why. I have frequently taken bets as
high as $4,000 from John W. Gates"
Then the complainant says he became sus-
picious and reported the matter to the police.
Detectives followed Winter to a hotel where he
was met by Friedman. The two were then
Joined by Parker, who handed Friedman a note.
It read, 20. K No - West 52d street Dick"
