MAKES PLEA FOR
CHILDREN UNBORN
BENJAMIN ]. MARSH ADVISES
RADICAL CHANGES
Would seeregate All Parents PhysI-
eally and Morally Unfit to Bring
Healthy Children Into the
World
BY Associat, / Press.

by ASsOClatt ETeSA
CHICAGO. Nov. 15-A sensation
was sprung at the session of the Amer
ican Humane association yesterday
when Benjamin j. Marsh advocated
the most radical changes in the present
mode of living in the interest of chill
dren.
Mr. Marsh unequivocally urged the
segregation of all parents who were
physically and morally unfit to bring
strong, healthy children into the world.
I'VE should use every possible argu-
dissolution of families" said Mr..
Marsh, who is secretary of the Penn
sylvania Society to Protect Children
from Cruelty
when 1t is shown that the parents
are not the proper persons to care for
their offspring there should be no
hesitation about taking the children
from them.
There are many men and women
who bring children into the world who
are so dissoute as to make them unfit
for parenthood. l sympathetically as
sert that some means should be taken
to prevent them taking, ofttimes by
chance, the responsibilities of parent
hood.
1--WE have hitherto removed children
from vice. we are striking at the root
of the evil when we remove vice from
children. When we strike deeper we
can but prevent children being born
into vice"
Mr.. Marsh advocated obtaining
homes under different environments
for families that were so placed as to
be subjected to unsanitary conditions.
Miss Jane Adams declared that
child labor was the greatest danger
that people of the present time were
compelled to cope with.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Whether or
not the ambassador of a friendly ma
tion on arriving at an American port
to take up quarters In Washington
must be compelled to inform the i'm
migration inspector whether he has
ever been in prison, an almshouse or
insane asylum or supported by char
ity, or whether'he is a polygamist or
am-anarchist, may be referred to the
state department at Washington as a
result of the refusal today of Joaquin
Nabuco, Brazilian ambassador, to
answer these questions when he arrived
here from Liverpool.
The purser of the Baltic reported to
the immigration inspectors that his
manifest was incomplete owing to the
ambassadors refusal to answer cer-
tain questions.

By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15.-A war
rant has been issued for the arrest of
John A. Cook, master of the whaling
ship Bowhead. Cook went east imme-
diately on the arrival Of his vessel
from the north. He is expected back
and on his return United States Mar
shall Elrott will place him under arrest.
The warrant was issued on the COM
plant of j. H. Belzea, one of the crew
of the Bowhead. He told United States
Attorney Devlin a long and narrowing
tale of the cruelty inflicted on him
and on others of the crew during the
years that the Bowhead was frozen in
at Herschel island.
He alleges specific instances Of beat
ings and other cruelties inflicted by
Captain Cook at Herschel island on
June 3, 1905. Also, he says, he and
the other members OF the crew were
provided with an insufficient amount
of food.

THINKS He WILL
REACH NORTH POLE
Arctic Explorer Believes Polar Airship
America Will Solve the Problem
That Has Baffled All
others
BY Associated Prees.

BY Associated Press.
PARIS, Nov. 15.-Now that Com
mander Peary has returned from the
Arctic regions without having reached
the North Pole, the only expedition
known to be preparing to seek the pole
next year is that of Walter Wellman.
There are four Arctic expeditions fn
the field, but none of them has the
pole as an object. Mr.. Wellman is
hard at work with his preparations.
He begun at Asnieres, suburb of
Paris, the erection of a large workshop
in which the Polar airship America"
is to be constructed during the com
ing winter
After a study of all the latest bal
looms dirigible, including the Lebaudy
built as an aerial cruiser and scout
for the French army, Mr.. Wellman has
decided on a plan of reconstruction de-
signed by himself with the assistance
of his expedition engineers.
The new airship Mr.. Wellman be-
lieves will mark a distinct advance in
aeronautics as applied to geographical
exploration.
1t will have a total lifting force of
$500 kilos or more than $4,000 pounds
and will carry In addition to its crew
of five men and a fully equipped sledg-
ing eXpeulllOll, oUUU hllOS Ut OouV pOuIltiS
of petroleum for the motor of eighty
horse power Instead of letting the
work by contract Mr.. Wellman is
building his own workshop and in
stalling machinery and will superin-
tend the construction by his engineers,
M. Vananim, an American, Lowenthal
Herstiu and Collardau, of whom the
last three were with the expedition at
Spitzbergen last summer.
Comments on Peary's Effort
Commander Peary has made lucky
and gallant effort to reach the pole,
said Mr.. Wellman, and though he has
failed in his great ambition all Amer
leans are proud of his achievement in
attaining the highest north. Com
mander Peary has fully demonstrated
think, the impracticability of reach
ing the pole by the old method of sledg-
ing with dogs over the unstable, drift
ing sea of ice.
Years ago, after bitter experience
came to the conclusion that method
was a failure and began searching the
modern arts for something more effec-
! tive. l believe now more strongly thar
ever that we have hit upon the right
! idea, a motor-driven airship. 1t is my
belief that we shall reach the pole mex
July, or August, from the Immense
aeronautic base we have established
at Spitzbergen.
IF our airship will only carry us tC
the pole of its neighborhood we car
return by sledging.
THE distance covered by sledgins
to the S7th degree and back again las
spring would be sufficient to take Vi
from the pole to Spitzbergen.
THE drift Of ice which prevented
Peary reaching the pole would help III
on our homeward way and there is
constant current from the pole to tn
only outlet to the Arctic ocean sweep
ing to the west coast of Spitzbergen
While we have the alternative OF
sledging return in case of necessity
we believe our airship with a fair de
gree of good fortune, will carry us I,
the pole and southwark again to LAM
and safety"

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Harry K.
'Thaw in the Tombs yesterday ordered
three suits of clothes, presumably to
wear them at his trial, which will prob
ably begin before Recorder Goff Mon
Gay, December 8.
Recorder Golf becomes a member of
the supreme court January II, and the
indications are that the Thaw trial will
be much shorter than has been gener-
ally expected.
The opinion of the district attorneys s
office is that the trial for big murder
should not last so very long. The prose-
cution will not introduce any extrane-
Gus matter, and District Jerome eX-
rects to conduct the case for the people
with dispatch.
1t is expected that the defense will
be long, but Recorder Goff is not OPP
posed to holding night sessions, and it
is said this will be done should there
be indications that the trial will last
ever Christmas.

criticism and public denunciation.
These restaurants, which were all
destroyed by the April conflagration.
were frequently the cause of bitter as
saults from the pulpit and press, the
accusations being made that they were
immoral and a menace to the welfare
of the community.
The so-called restaurants were a
combination of eating house, lodging
house and liquor resort. The agita-
tion for their suppression about two
years ago apparently reached the city
officials and orders were issued that
they be deprived of licenses, which
practically closed them. The doors re-
mained locked for a short time and
then the restaurants were permitted to
reopen with Some restrictions"
Graft. Is Scented
Soon the houses were again in full
operation along the old lines. Some
of the local newspapers at the time
made charges that fund had been col
lected amounting to thousands of doll
lars and that the money had been paid
into officials hands to lift the en-
barge.
The accusations further alleged that
monthly tax of about $4,000 was paid
by the restaurateurs for protection.
The renewals of the liquor licenses
was granted by the police commission,
majority of whom were in accord
with the administration of Mayor
Schmitz.
1t has never directly been charged
that Mayor SchmitZ was concerned
with the payment. of the so-called cor
ruption fund, but no hesitancy was
used in connecting Ruef's name with
the alleged Illegal use of money. Ruef,
indeed, admitted that he had received
fees from the proprietors Of the res
taurants, but declared that he acted
merely as an attorney in promoting
the interests of his clients, whose
property rights had been trespassed
upon.
According to the indictments, Ruef
and Schmitz on January Is, 1904, ex-
torted $1175 from Tony Blanco Of the
Poodle Dog, and on February 6 Of the
same year they forced him to give UP
$1,000 more.
The third indictment is based on the
extortion of $1175 from the proprietors
of Marchands restaurant. They are
charged with demanding and receiv-
ing on the same day $1175 from the
proprietors of the Delmonico restaur-
| ant
1t is charged that on the 9Th of the
following February they forced these
same men to yield $1,000 by threatening
to take away their liquor licenses.
Sheriff O'Neil says that he Is still un-
] decided whether he will arrest Schmitz
whe nhe lands in New York or wait un-
| til he comes to California.
