HILD-SUFFERING AMONG
REFUGEES IS INCREASING
Drunkenness of Mothers Is the Chief
Cause of Complaint for Abuse of
the Little Ones

Complaints regarding the mistreat-
ment of children are increasing and
conditions in the refugee camps are
held to blame, according to the Janu-
ary report of Secretary M. J. White of
the California Society for the Preven-
ton of Cruelty to Children. The great
er part of child suffering is said to be
caused by the drunkenness of mothers.
Eighteen such cases were reported in
January, as against six where the
father was the offender and eight
where both parents were involved.
Ninety-seyen complaints We're inves-
tigated out of 10S received, involving
24S children of whom 167 were relieved
Twenty-one of these children were sent
to institutions and forty-six to the
Juvenile Court. Nine adults were pros
ecuted and eight convicted.
The complaints involved fortyeight
refugees and sixty others. In addition
to the parental liquor habit the causes
of complaint included twenty-six cases
of failure to provide, five cases of de-
sertion by the father and two by the
mother, six cases of paternal cruelty
and four of cruelty by the mother. Des-
titution of parents was responsible for
only three of the complaints.

ITEMS ON THE WING.

Several times recently we advised the
opposing factions of colored Masons to
cease firing and close up; further, that
it was only a question of time that the
white brother of the United States would
take hand in the game with the result
that it would be awful on us. Now we
notice that the white Elks are up in
arms against the cOlored order, and in
all probabilities there will be legal bat
ties. etc. At the last session of the
legislature of Pennsylvania a law was
passed relating to the appropriation or
copying of the insignia of a secret So
ciety. This law affects colored Masons
as we'll as colored Elks. Other States
have passed similar laws. 1t is only a
question of time that the colored MaSons
instead of fighting each other in court
as to who is and who is not, will be
compelled to combine in order TO exist.

ing Saturday afternoon.
The election was conducted by ballot
The FIRST ballot cast stood seven in favor
Of Capt Oyster, one for Prof. Ever
mann, and one for Mr.. Cox 1t was
then decided that Mr.. Cox and Prof.
Evermann should surrender their votes
in favor of Capt Oyster, which was
done, making Capt Oysters election
unanimous.
Prof. Evermann, who was elected vice
president OF the board at its organiza-
ton last year, was retained in that posi-
ton by unanimous consent. Capt. Oys-
ter's election is for one year. He was
appointed a member of the board a year
ago for two years term, his term 10
expire July I, 1908.
The selection of Capt Oyster for the
presidency of the board did not come as
a surprise. Since Admiral Baird retired |
from that position there had been vague
rumors of Prof. Evermann and Mr.
Cox making a try for the vacancy, but
those familiar with the operations of
the school system entertained no doubt
as to Capt Oysters election.
Capt. Oyster announced yesterday that
he much preferred some one else having
the position He said it was his wish
that either Prof EVermann or Mr.. Cox
should take the presidency, but when
pressed to accept the position he con-
sented. Either Mr.. Cox or Prof Ever
mann, Capt. Oyster said, would make an
excellent head of the board.

Oyster delivered a short address to the
board, saying: 81 wish to express my

Later on, this partnership was dissolved,
the control OF the business passing to
James F. Oyster. The firm conducts a

cheese and eggs.
Until the National Rifles were dis
