F0R 10 YEARS

Chicago. July 25.-Prof. Frederick Starr,
OF the University OF Chicago, let loose
yesterday afternoon another of those
amazing utterances by which the educa-
tors OF that institution keep in the lime
light. He SAID:
Children should wear no clothing until
they ore ten years of age.
II mean, not a stitch OF clothing. This
Is right or both physiological and moral

attention because OF an announcement
male yesterday that several university
p-ofes,ors are to experiment on cures for
the family problem" In special construct
ed paradise flats at Fifty-siNth street

There was much speculation as to how
far Prof. Starr's theories would be en-
ployed In the residential utopia" which

WAsH|NGTON
HAS PROFOUND
sensation

Washington. July pa profound sensa-
tion was caused here by the claim set up
by vespasian Warner. the commissioner
entitled to share equally in his fathers
estate because she is OF negro descent
Even the most intimate social friends
and business associates OF Mr.. Warner
here knew nothing about this remarkable
case. and the action OF Commissioned
Warner was a complete surprise to them.
This development is likely TO jeopardze
the official position OF Commissioner War
ner and his retirement from the public
service is expected.
Commissioner Warner is severely criti-
cised for his action In exposing the famil y
skeleton. especially as he is a rich man
In his own right, and having control OF
a fortune larger than the one left by his
father.
Warmers relationships are rather curl
Gus. He is the brother-in-law of his own
son. and the commissioner wife is the
sister-in-law and the stepmother-in-law
of his son.
Commissioner Warner has been married
twice. He had several children by his
first wife. He and his son married SIS
ters. Young Warner is the son OF his
father; he is the brother-in-law st his
fatner. ana stepson or MS faNer .
wife.
Commissioner Warner is the father OF
his son; he is the brother-in-law OF his
son: he is the father-in-law OF his sons
wife.
Another curious feature OF Warmers
married life Is that after he had been
married the second time the father OF
his first wife died and left a fortune ag-
gregating several million dollars. He be-
queathed large portion TO Warner and
left the remainder OF II to his grandchii-
dren. the daughters and sons OF Commits
sioner Warner
The entire estate was turned over to
Warner 10 be administered by him in his
discretion and so much confidence did his
father-in-law have in Warner that no
bond was required.
In addition to this. Warner is a rich
man in his own right
He has not been prominent socially
here, but has entertained in a modest
manner. He served In the Civil war with
distinction. He served In cblgress from
1886 to 1903. when he was a leading candi-
date for the gubernatorial nomination IN
Illinois He was beaten after a bitter
fight.

JAPs HEARD
OF IT WITH
Satisfaction

Toxic, July 25.-The manner in which
the news Of the convention between Japan
and Korea has been generally received Is
indicative of satisfaction.
1t Is felt among the well-informed that
Japan might have been mare exacting in
Ter terms. curtailing even the Korean
imperial Authority by suggesting the re-
script subject TO the approval Of the
Japanese resident-general. The avoidance
10 such demand. II Is believed was pure
ly out OF consideration for the prestige OF
the Korean court. The extension OF the
power OF the resident-general so that he
may appoint his nominees to responsible
II sitions in the Korean government Is es-
recialiy welcomed In Japan as one of the
srrest means Of preventing the adoption
OF any measures hostile to Japanese or
dt trimental to the interests of Korea. 1t
is expected that the freer hand japan Is
now able to exercise In Korea Will soon
be manifested by peaceful development
OF the peninsula and maintenance of order

OARROW STILL
CONTINUES WITH
THE DEFENCE

Boise, July Z.-In resuming his ad-
dress to the Haywood jury this morning
Clarence Darrow, who is having the last
word for the defnse. took up a defense
or Jack Simpkins' fight after the arrest
or orchard. Mr.. Darrow's voice was
hoarse and he spoke today with the
greatest effort.
They ask us why Jack Simpkins is
not here" said Darrow, land l will tell
YOU He Is afraid to be here Hawley
tells you that Simkins flight proves that
ne Is guilty. With that statement / take
serious Issue. II the fact that Jack Smp-
kins ran away proves he is guilty, then
by the same token the fact that Hay
wood. Meyer and Pettibone did not run
away proves that they are innocent.
Il don't know whether Jack Simpkins is
innocent. / have not seen him after he
ran away. He was In Caldwell with Or
chard and was Orchards friend. Simpkins
had been In the Idaho bull pen and indig-
mites to which he was subjected burns
In his heart today and will probably be
there forever for ali l know. Simpkns
had reason to harbor hatred against
Steunenberg. Simpkins and Orchard had
been together had been in Spokane be-
fore they went to Caldwell Jack Smp-
kins went for the purpose Orchard has
told you II he went away without doing II.
"Hawley blames us for electing Simp-
kins again to the executive committee. II
night have been better for the 10000 men,
bers OF the Western Federation OF Miners
to have turned their back on him when
he was accused, but IL we had done this.
Hawley would have told you that the
fact that the Federation dropped Simp-
kins showed that the man was guilty"
you men know that these de-
PENDANTS are far safer today than they
were Is months ago. A year hence
I venture to say that not every man
not hanged can get fair trial In
Idaho"
Mr.. Darrow here went into a lengthy
discussion as to why the defense had
not put Steve Adams and George A.
pettibone on the stand.
He demanded TO know why the state
had not put X c. Sterling. the de-
tective OF the Mine owners associa-
tion. on the stand.
Adams. the attorney explained. was
on trial for murder of a man in north
ern Idaho Under these circumstances
Darrow said he would rather cut of
his right arm than allow Adams to
take the stand. much as he desired the
acquittal OF Haywood.
AS TO Pettibone. Darrow said the
circumstances were much the same. He
Is to be tried for his life for the muir
der of Steunenberg. Pettibone Is de-
scribed as an easy going, big-hearted
fellow. who had allowed Orchard to
work his way into his house. 1t was
more important for Pettibone to wait
and take the stand in his own behalf
than 10 lay himself open in the trial.

TWEhIY-FOUR
YEARS TODAY

Mr.. r. II. Roscoe. the wel-known clair
voyant and psychic, Intended to cele-
brate the 18th anniversary of his mar
riage today, but at the last moment dis
covered his mistake. today being the 2ith
anniversary of his marriage.
some thoughtless people say that spir-
itualism separates man and wife. but Mr..
Roscoe points TO his own happy home life
as an example of the falseness OF this
supposltion. TIE local psychic does not
wish TO be classed among the spiritualists
OF the extreme type. because he believes
quite as firmly in the physical embodi-
nIent Of the intelligent spirit as he does
In its disembodiment. Speaking OF this
he said. ''let me state clearly that / be-
lieve in the sanctity OF marriage. / do
not believe in divorce"
II he could not celebrate his 18th mar
riage anniversary he said that he would
call this the day for the celebration of
his 81 years OF pleasant work In Provi-
dence, where lie has made many friends.
During these years he has been well
known as Il lecturer on spiritualism and
kindred subjects. To be exact. he has
been on the lecture platform 20 years.
During the last two years he has been
forced to give UP this work on account
of poor health, but will resume the work
this winter. delivering a series OF lee
lures on Temperament and Character
