CALL TALKS SOCIALISM.
Former Topeka Attorney Addresses
Association of Scientists.

New York, Dec. 2S.=At the meeting
of the section of social and economic
science of the American association,
Charles A. Conant, vice president of
the Morton Trust company, who pre-
sided, discussed ASPECTS of the Cur
rency Question
Henry L. Call of Washington, D. c..
read paper on 1.-The Concentration of
Wealth." Mr.. Call said:
Industrial society is practically di-
vided into two classes, the enormously
rich and miserably poor. These condi-
tons come from a monopoly of land
and mineral resources, of money, of
transportation and other public utiii-
ties, as also of industry, and to law
must we look for their correction. The
corporation should be made co-opera-
tive, instead of, as now, the instrument
of private greed. The ownership Of
public utilities should be in the pub
lie, as also the control and distribu-
ton Of money. The corporation prin-
ciple and function should be extended
to mines, as also to lands in cities and
elsewhere required for joint use and
occupancy.
I'm this complex situation the most
just solution would be to fix some
maximum which any man can be said
to have acquired honestly or which h e
could have under just conditions, all
above such reverting to the public
It would conform our institutions to
the present social cooperative nature
of industrial society and inaugurate
the one solution of our social and in
dustrial roblems-practical scientific

THREW HER OFF WALK.
Negro Soldier Assaults White Woman
at FL Reno.

Ell Reno. Okla. Dec. 2s.-Race
feeling is at white heat and threats of
lynching are heard on every hand as
a result of assault committed on
Mrs 7. S. Clifford, wife of a prominent
physician, by a negro soldier of the
Twenty-ifth infantry.
Mrs. Clifford and her sister, Mrs S.
H. Clarke. were attempting to pass the
soldier, when he viciously grabbed
Mrs. clifford around the waist and
threw her into the street, exclaiming
that the sidewalk belonged to him.
Mrs. Clarke screamed for assistance
and her assailant fed, escaping before
help arrived.
News of the attack spread rapidly
and the entire police department, re-
inforced by several hundred men and
boys, searched the town and surround
ing country, but this evening the chase
was given UP as the negro was in uni
form and must return to the post or
become a deserter.
Word was sent to Fort Reno and all
absentees noted. Both Mrs. Clifford
and her sister are positive they can
identity the man. and will go to Fort
Reno and attempt to pick him from
the soldiers who were out of the post
t. day when the assault occurred.

she broke the news to her father. She
'eThat evening. in fear and trem-
bling. broke the news to my father. I
expected to be repudiated forever. 1t
was a terrible alternative, but I felt
that my life was my own, to work out
as best I could-even my father had
not the right to doom me to soul
annihjlation- In a few days my faith
er's answer came. I Wept with the
wonder and joy OF It, Then, for the
first time. knew my fatherl 1t was
wonderful how we had missed each
other all those years.
He expressed his exquisite joy for
what he called my emancipation from
the frivolous He urged me in the
strongest terms to work seriously and
steadily at my chosen career. He told
me to prove myself worthy and that
his fortune was at my disposal. All he
dreaded was a frivolous failure In
closing he promised that on the day
should be selected to fill the position
Of leading woman through my own
merits he would settle a certain sum
Of money upon me.
ITO make a long story short, this
wonderful father of mine was as de-
lighted with my resolution as at the
success Of some big business venture.
It was curious revelation of human
nature.
"As a matter of fact, two years later
my dear father came on expressly to
NEW DIX 10 assist at my DEBUT as
leading lady. and at the close of the
performance he placed the check he
had promised me in my hand saying,
with tears in his eyes, Jane, I am
happy and proud
Takes GrandmOther's Name.
II don't think any girl could have had
sweeter success I wonder at times
whether the stage will ever give me any
thing more beautiful than that moment
when stood IN the scenes with my faith
er arms around M / wonder II any
success Is as sweet as it promises. It
seems to me that career of any kind
is only a sort of stepping stone to deeper
knowledge of kind quite apart from
the career itself.
From my early grlhood + was stage
struck. and, although never breathed my
that somehow. some way, I would go
upon the stage.
My father although apparently a man
wrapped up in his business affairs, was
bohemian by nature. who had through
sense of duty lived a life of extraordi-
nary self-reDression."
Miss PEPPER needed a stage name. OF
course. All. she had that fixed. all right.
She had known what her stage name
of the stage Her grandmother name
was Jane Oaker. Pretty. isn't it2 And
really belonged to the family. So the
Miss Minnie PEPPER of real life became
the Miss Jane Oaker of the stage.
Her first part was that of Hernia in n
production of "A Midsummer Nieht's
Dream by Louis James and Katherine
Kidder- Subsequently she was with
turn" It was in this enga cement that
she won the money prize her father had
offered her when she became q leading
lady her own merits.

1T Is A FAILURE.
Martha Washington Hotel for
Women Not a Go.
Stockholders Discuss the Ques-
tiOn Of Leasing Building.
RESTAURANT is CLOSED
Because Many Patrons Handed
Out Only Half Orders.
Others Cooked Their Meals In
Their Rooms.
RESTAURANTS CLOSET

New York, Dec. ga long meeting
of stockholders of the Martha Wash
ington hotel. a hosiery exclusively for
women, was held today to decide the
fate of the establishment Dissatisfac-
ton has recently arisen with the man
agement and a number OF stockholders
demanded a change. 1t was finally de-
cided to present to the board of direc-
tors for their decision a resolution rec
ommending that the hotel be leased.
Many prominent persons in this city
joined together to establish this hotel
for women. The idea was philan-
thropic in that it was planned to give
a pleasant home and chance for social
intercourse at moderate cost, to women
who worked for a livelihood and who
because they have no relatives or come
from afar, are compelled to live in
boarding houses. There was no idea of
making the hotel a charity and when
the project was again preached at the
meeting yesterday, it was bitterly
fought. Rev. William r. Huntington,
D. D., rector Of Grace church, who was
interested in the project is quoted as
saying that the hotel had distinctly
failed of its purpose.
Since the property was bought it has
doubled in value and the Martha Wash
ington now Is said to be worth about a
million dollars. this fact alone making
it impracticable to run the hotel ac-
cording to the original design. The
economy practiced by some of the
patrons, who continually order half
portions and carry food to their rooms,
besides having stoves there for light
cooking, recently caused the closing o.
the American plan restaurant.

AvERrs A COAL SHORTAGE.
Rock Islands Campaign of Education
HIS Good Results.

AS a result of a campaign of educa-
ton begun two years ago by W. B.
Biddle, vice president in charge of traf-
nc of the Rock Island-Frisco system,
there is no shortage of coal today along
those lines. Coal dealers at all points
were urged to lay in their stocks dur
ing the summer season. when coal was
cheapest and the railroad company
had plenty OF cars.
For many years it had been the Gus
tom of the coal dealers along the Rock
Island-Frisco lines to delay ordering
coal until cold weather when il was
impossible for the roads to find cars to
fill the rush orders sent in from all
points Last summer the dealers at
points along this system, with few ex-
ceptions, had delivered to them the
amount of coal they estimated would
be needed this winter. The saving in
the price of coal by buying in summer
was greater than the interest on the
investment to the time consumers
bought their coal. Had the coal deal
ers OF the northwest pursued the same
policy there would have been no coal
famine there.

Studies for the Stage
The story of Jane Oaker is one in
thousand in the story of actresses. The
daughter of Christian PEPPER. a St.
Louis tobacco manufacturer, she had
no need to be anything but a society
girl. with no thought Of professional
career.
But Jane Oaker and her riches went
to the stage and she has recently said
that much Of her quickly gained sue
cess has been due to the wealth she
had at her command. Her money
enabled her TO buy gowns which con-
fributed to her part and which an
actress of limited means could not
have afforded.
Miss Oaker had a strong dramatic
propensity. She ended her school
days with no thought of any other ca
reer than that Of an actress Her
mind had been leaning that way Tor
long and one of the first things she
did when she returned to her home
at St Louis was to enroll herself as
student at 4 local school of acting
Miss PEPPER was a fine looking girl
with talent She had, too a very
practical head. and she began to plan
her own campaign. Her people. she
felt. would not applaud her love for
the stage So she kept it from them.
In q little while she made up her
mind that New York city offered her
better opportunities TO advance IN her
secret work. SO she secured the con-
sent of her parents to go to New Y ork
and make an extended visit to
friend.
one of the first things she did when
she got to New York was to become
pupil at the New York School of ORA
matte Art She did not tell her peo-
pie what she was doing and they did
not fird out. She remained in New
York all winter and while her parents
thought she was spending her time
along the pleasant social ways she was
really putting IN hard ticks at learning
how to act
