DISCUSS PROBATION sYTEM.
Members of Monday Club Hear Sew
eraI Interesting Addresses.

Probation for youthful Offenders, as eX-
ercised in the juvenile courts throughout
the country, was the subject for discus
sion before the Monday Club last night
at the \. 81. c. A., and interesting. in
structive talks were delivered by several
men prominent in this work The ad-
dresses followed a banquet attended by
nearly one hundred members Of the club
and their friends. c. W. Skinner, OF the
Industrial Home School. presided, and in
troduced the speakers, who were Bishop
Henry Y. Satterlee. Hon. Homer Folks,
of New York John Glenn. OF Baltimore
Assistant District Attorney Charles II.
Turner. Judge De Lacy, of the local
Juvenile Court, and George 5. Wilson.
secretary of the Board of Charities.
Bishop satterlee told Of the work done
in this city by the Prisoners Aid So
ciety. The speaker produced statistics
showing that since 1890 the society has
assisted 7.2S4 prisoners. OF which number
over 1900 haye been sent to their homes.
In addition, the society has provided
meals, clothing, lodging, and other neces-
sites for the prisoners helped. The
speaker said that the remarkable feature
Of the work was that it had all been
accomplished on a little over $6.o00. This
sum, he said. had been turned over and
over until in reality about $26,6O0 had been
spent The secret of this lies in the fact
that over 80 per cent of the money paid
out in fines for destitute prisoners and
loaned TO them in other ways had been
returned.
Assistant District Attorney Turner Sc
verely scored the criminal laws Of the
District that throw all convicted persons
over seventeen years of age into prison
instead Of Offering them am opportunity
TO reform. That once sent 10 prison
they never are known TO reform, was the
burden Of the speakers remarks. Judge
De Lacey told of the work done by the
local juvenile court Mrs. Thomas Noye;
sang several characteristic Songs bril-
I liantly, and was given an ovation.

Representatives OF the local insurance
companies, with several Of the prominent
agents Of the out-of-town companies, held
a meeting yesterday afternoon to discuss
the situation under the new rates pro-
mulgated by the middle division OF the

harmony among the insurance interests
Of the city, and was an executive session.
Those present were reticent regarding
the discussion which took place. and II
was said after the meeting that nothing
Of a definite character was determined
upon, but that some plan would be map
ped out shortly which would determine
the course Of the local companies, and
that when fully developed II would be

rAFT sToRY pENIED.
Secretary Loeb says Deneen DId Not
Talk Politics with President


Secretary Loeb denied yesterday that
the visit Of Gov. Deneen and At
torney General Stead. OF Illinois. TO the
White House Saturday had any connac-
ton whatever with Secretary Tafts
candidacy for the Presidency.
As was pointed out in The Washing
ton Herald Sunday morning. the story
that the Illinois officials were called
here to further the political fortunes
Of the Secretary Of War originated
from the fact that Mr.. Taft and his
brother, Charles p. Taft went % the
White House shortly before Messrs.
Deneen and Stead left and that the
four were in conversation with the
President for a few minutes
There Is not the slightest foundation
for the published statement that Mr..
Taft's candidacy was discussed in any
way. Secretary Loeb said yesterday
that the only reference TO politics while
Messrs. Deneen and Stead We're present
was when the President asked the gov
ernor about the mayoralty campaign in
Chicago.

ASK FOR FOUR MORE MONSTERS
Navy Department Yearns for More Big
Battleships.

The navy department has practical
ly decided to ask congress for four
battleships, two of which shall be SIS
ter ships to the 20,OO0-ton Delaware
and North Dakota, authorized by the
last congress and already contracted
for, and the other two still larger. 1t
is doubtless true, however, that the
department will be measurably salts
fed if congress consents to allow two
mere 20,000-ton battleships to COM
plete, with the two already under con-
struction, one division, it being con-
sidered that such an arrangement is
most effective. If such ships are au-
thorized there is little probability that
they will differ in any respect from
the Delaware and North Dakota, which
represent at present the last word in
naval construction.
Something of a furry occurred in
the state, war and navy departments
when it was discovered that the Ma
Mia Times on August 26 printed an al
legged dispatch stating that the fleet
had reached the straight of Magellan
The effect of such transformation, il
is thought, might easily have precipi
tated trouble with Japan.
When Admiral Evans retires, next
August, Admiral Sperry will probably
succeed in command of the Pacific
fleet.
