PRESIDENT URGES SURWA'
In Message to Congress, Roosevelt
Favors Passing Pro-
posed Bill.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 23.-The
president sent a message to congress
this afternoon recommending the ship
subsidy legislation. Commenting upon
the great desirability of enacting laws
to aid American shipping, saying that
European powers recognize the need of
similarly acting toward their steam
ship companies to establish and MAIN
tain trade. In order to maintain the
present wage of American seamen he
says it is imperative that the ship
subsidy legislation be passed.
The bill which the president favors
provides for fourteen steamships on
the Atlantic, subsidized at a million
and a half dollars and for twenty two
Pacific coast vessels at a million and
a quarter dollars.
The president said Surely it
would be discreditable for US to sur
render the great commerce of the
Orient and South America and our
own communication with Hawaii and
the Philippines"

Fewer Failures in Britain.

LONDON, Jan. Pin it's annual
report issued today the Board of
Trade states that the total number of
failures in 1906 were 1923 in England
and Wales, a decrease of 623 on the
previous year. A substantial decrease
in the number of farmers failures is
also shown. The improvement is most
reflected in those trades which in pre-
vious years had been hardest hit by
the depression then prevailing. The
grocery and provision trades, for ex-
ample, which in 1905 showed 1853 more
bills of sale than in previous years,
had in 1906 the substantial decrease
of 1884, The report winds up with
the statement that trade in the coun-
try is in very satisfactory state.

of tunnel building progresses from
wear to year. the resulting deaths will
probably form a considerable part OF
the records of the coroner's office, al
though for 1906 these deaths only
amounted to about one per cent OF
the cases of sudden death reported
to the cOrOners.
During the, year there were 1O5
children killed by being run over in
the streets, 81 being killed by surface
cars, 6 by automobiles, and 81 by
other vehicles. There were 1872 per-
sons killed in fires, and 2O4 bodies
were taken from the rivers, of which
number only 1873 were fully identified.

STRIKES At SWEAT SHOPS
Beveridge Defends His Child Labor
Bill in the Senate Against Odds.
With Doubtful Result.

WASHINGTON, DC. Jan. 23.-Beve-
ridge defended his child labor bill in
the senate today. He said two million
children under fifteen are at work now,
seven hundred thousand being in agri-
cultural work on forms. He said a god
bill doesn't attack that. He strikes at
child labor sweatshops. factories, etc.
Children thus employed are dwarfed
in body, mind and soul, he said They

acting separately is not competent to
stop the evil. 1t can be stopped with
