POKTUGAL.'S DEAD PRINCE

prayers were offered in many homes.
In official circles it is believed the
ceremony in connection with the coro'
nation of King Manuel may not occur
for two or three months. and perhaps
may never occur, as the young king
wishes TO inaugurate his reign with as
little ostentation as possible, not un-
like Gustav of Sweden.
Indications point to relative tran
quillity for a few weeks, when repub-
lican activity and determination to
proclaim a republic, which appear
strongly in evidence, may force i'm

City Kid" was the guest of honor, be-
cause his "moniker' (monogram) is on
more water tanks than that of any 9TH
er traveller, and short speeches, brim-
full of advice, were delivered by other
well known tramps.
New Haven Kid" contrasted condi-
lions in the East and West and said
his experience had been that a tramp
is more liable to arrest in the East than
the West. Kid Murphy" of Spring
field (Illinois), advised against the use
OF white line" (alcohol and water),
saying it caused many holdups.
Jersey Red" who recently returned
from Africa, advised tramps to keep
away from the sea because they had to

JAPANESE LABOR is
MENACE SAY UNIONS

Denver, Feb. 10.-The wage workers
Of Denver have perfected a permanent
or~gapfzation for the purpose of pro-
tecting themselves against the invasion
OF Japanese labor into Colorado. 1t will
be known as THE Yellow Peril Exclu-
sion league Members of the indus

much below the union scale.
Peaceful easur OF dealing with

the question OF excluding the jana

that immediate action must be taken.
IL was decided that the movement

CORPORATIONS WOULD
WELCOME SUPERVISION
SAYS GEO. w, PERKINS

New York. Feb. 11.-That managers
OF the giant corporations would well
come supervision by the federal gov
eminent, was the opinion expressed
by Geo. w. Perkins, Of the firm Of J.
p. Morgan & Co., in an address be-
fore the students OF Columbia univer-
sity. Mr.. Perkins defended the big cor
porations as a natural outgrowth Of
business conditions and declared that
it has accomplished great good and is
capable in Its further developments Of
accomplishing much more.
There is scarcely a corporation
manager OF today" he said. who
would not welcome supervision, could
he but feel that it would come from
the national government, acting
through an intelligent and fair minded
official, but to be faced with the re-
~quirements to report to and to be sup
ervised and regulated by 40 Oh so gov
ernments with varying ideas and laws,
OF course, suggests difficulties that are
almost insurmountable. National SUI
pervision, under a law requiring that
those who supervise should be prac-
teal men thoroughly versed In their
calling would solve most OF our diff
culties.
1T is almost heresy to say that
competition is NJ longer the life OF
trade, yet these have come to he fact
as applied to the old ~unreasoning and
unreasonable competition by the con-
ditions Of our day.
THE spirit of cooperation is upon
us, 1t must of necessity be the next
great form of business development
and progress"
