WE MUST IMPORT GOOD
MOTHERS, SAYS EXPERT
ON BABES AND WOMEN
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 1.-THE Rainy
Day club yesterday learned something
about American mothers, and Ameri-
can babies as well that 1t did not know
before, when it held its last meeting
of the season.
Wilbur B. Phillips, secretary of the
New York milk committee of the as
ISOLATION for improving the condition
of the poor, which is to open seven
new infants milk depots on June Is,
was one of the speakers. He gave the
members statistics that made them
open their eyes, even though they
learned that the American mother was
not much good, and the imported arti-
Gle was the only one worth consider
ing.
I'm twenty-eight uptown blocks in
the neighborhood of the plaza and
around Fifth avenue there were born
in one year thirty-seven children
while in four east side blocks with
equal population there were born $40
children" said Mr.. Phillips.
eff we wish good mothers we must
import them," DR.. George Coler of
Rochester says. There are not only
few births, but there is an appalling
death rate among the better class of
American children. This Is not due to
the milk, but to the mothers, to
atrophy, premature birth and prenatal
influences"

|UMBSEN PROVES
A POOR WITNESS
VAGUE TESTIMONY GIVEN IN
RUFF CASE
REAL ESTATE MAN NEBuLoUS
ON WITNESS STAND
Court Holds Night Sessions to Hurry
Ending of Case, and Forgetful
Parkslde Man Is Kept
Under Fire
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, May &c. H.
Umbsen, a prominent real estate man,
again occupied the witness stand today
in the trial of Abraham Ruef.
The direct testimony of Umbsen, who
on behalf of the Parkside Realty COM
pany negotiated with and employed
Ruef as an attorney to get trolley
franchise from the Schmitz board OF
supervisors in 1906, wanted by the real
ty company. was weakened somewhat
upon cross-examination by Henry Acn'
chief counsel for Ruef.
This caused Assistant District Attor-
ney Heney to have the witness re-
tell upon redirect examination the story
of employing Ruef and the payment to
him of $4,000 of the 100000 fee de-
manded by Ruef.
Without offering any explanation
other than that he was mistaken, the
witness said the $4,000 drawn by the
Parkside company to pay Ruef when
the franchise was obtained was depos-
tied with the Union Trust company on
March IL, 1906.
One-half of this amount, said Umb-
sen, was paid by him to Ruef on May
23. Umbsen had testified upon direct
examination that the money was placed
in his own vault, but upon digging the
safe out of the ruins after the big hre
he found the currency intact.
Qualities All Answers
Umbsen was a very poor witness.
Much of his testimony was vague ana
indefinite when asked for details. He
qualified many of his answers with i
think" 81 am not sure" 1T may have
BEEN" causing Judge Dooling to re-
peatedIy take a hand in the examina-
ton and caution the witness that II
was facts that he was being asked for;
III. Van Luven, assistant cashier OF
the Union Trust company, was placed
on the stand for a few minutes IN the
afternoon TO produce a cashiers check
for $4,000, indorsed by H. NJ. Umbsen,
a brother of G. H. Umbsen. The latter
was then recalled.
In order that the trial may be finished
as soon as possible, Judge Dooling helo
a night session tonight when counsel
for the defense took Umbsen again In
hand for re-cross- examination.

completed by the house today, but

national legislation before the evils
can be reached with sufficient vigor to
punish them as they deserve. We trust,
therefore, you will consider that it is
wise for you to advocate some legisla-
tive amendment which will make
polygamy and polygamous tendencies a
crime against the United States"
Labor and Unions
The bishops have quite a little to say
as to workingmen and the church, and
also as to trades unions, part being
as follows:
For those who labor with their hands
and whose reward is a wage the church
has got sympathy. We hold the right
of those Workingmen who desire to
do so to form labor unions for the ad-
vancement of their interests, as we hold
the right of individual laborers who
prefer to do so to seek the control of
their own labor The church and the
trades unions should seek each others S
help for the uplifting of mankind
The reading of the address was inter-
rupted frequently by applause as the
bishops voice reached some telling
point in the document, When he read
its denunciation of the liquor traffic he
called upon the delegates to rise-here,
now, "and with the bishops pledge eter-
nal enmity to this foe of man and
God" The entire assemblage sprang to
it's feet. uttering cheer after cheer.
One of the delegates started to sing
America" The great throng caught
UP the hymn and the hall resounded
with it's strains. AS the last refrain
ceased some one began the hymn Clio
ry. Glory, Hallelujah. Our God Is
Marching On"
Reports of the various boards and
committees appointed by the last gem
eral conference were then made.
The liquor question again came be-
fore the body. This time in the form
of a resolution offered by Governor
Hanly of Indiana, chairman of tenn
perance committee, demanding that
congress enact the Littlefield interstate
liquor shipment bill. now pending in
the judiciary committee, for the pro-
lection of those states in which the
traffic is wholly or in part inhibited.
A committee was appointed to pre-
sent the resolution to Speaker Cannon.
Tonight there was held at the Lyric
a. meeting in celebration of the GEN.
tennaries of the organization of the
general conference as a delegated body
and of the adoption of the constitution
of the Methodist Episcopal church.
There was a distinguished gathering
also at a banquet of the Brotherhood
Of ST Paul. held at the First Methodist
Episcopal church.

these representatives have sent in re-
ports regarding the uneasiness of the
population and the expectation of trou-
BILE with Turkey.
consul from Batoum, received at
one of the embassies here, details the
arrival by sea of Russian artillery, a
great quantity of ammunition and
stores of provisions. which are being
forwarded to the south. Furthermore,
the military authorities are getting to-
gether large quantities of army sup
plies.
1t has been learned here that the
Sunjensk cavalry regiment left Tif1is
April for the frontier. and the Cau-
of Kars early in June, ostensibly for
maneuvers, although these exercises
generally are held at the end of the
summer.
A battery of mountain guns has left
KieVX for the Caucasus, and the rail-
road lines running TO the Caucasus
continue to be burdened with NUM-
tions of war for the force assembling
at Tifis.
No news has been received here for
several days past of the Russian pun

that the detachment is marking time,
pending the arrival of reinforcements,
in order to administer an adequate les

of truth exists for the rumor or the
hanisbment of the Korean emperor by

office simply ridiculing its absurdity.
The former emperor on the earnest
advice of Prince Ito once resolved to
come to Toxic to see how the crown
prince, who is here prosecuting his
studies, was progressing, but after
ward changed his mind. Korean Min
lister of Agriculture Fong, who came
to Toxic with the crown prince, SAID
on the eve of his departure for home
that he would try his utmost to per-
suade the former emperor TO Vlslt
Toxic in order to remove whatever
suspicion might still exist in his mlnd
regarding Japan's attitude toward
Korea. Prince Ito once said to the

Korean sovereignty and there mas
been no occasion whatever since then
to change his policy.

COLOMBIA'S DEMAND FOR
SETTLEMENT Is REFUSED
United States Twice Turns Down Re-
quest for Arbitration of $1o,ooo,=
900 Claim for Damages In
Losing Panama
BY Associated Press.

=
WASHINGTON, May THAT the re-
public of Colombia has twice made de-
mand for arbitration of her claim OF
$40, ,O00, 600 from the United States, ana
twice been refused, was made known
at the state department yesterday: IL
was added that these demands and re-
fusals were ancient history and that no
fresh representations had been made
on the question. This information, per-
haps more in detail, will constitute the
answer to Mr.. Bacon's resolution or m
ouiry adopted by the senate yesterday.
The basis of the Colombian demand Is
expected to be the damage she claims
to have sustained in the separation
from her territory of Panama, made
possible through the recognition by. the
United Staes of the Panama republic.
The basis of refusal of the American
government to comply with this de-
mand Is that the recognition of the new
republic was a question of policy, and
therefore not properly the subject OF
criticism by another nation, and GER
tainly not a question which this gov
ernment could permit to be made the
subject of decision by an arbitration
tribunal.
