THOUSANDS OF
MEN GIVEN WORK
Tide of Steel Business Turning
Optimistic Feeling Among
Manufacturers of Ohio.

Cleveland, o., Feb. 1O.-Between 5000
and 5000 men returned to work at the
Lorraine plant of the National Tube
company today. The plant had been
closed down for several months. In
der normal sconditions, about $500 men
are employed. Il is understood to be the
present intentiO1n of the company to re-
employ a full quota of men within a
very short time.
Interviews with leading manufacture
ers of Cleveland and northern Ohio
show an optimistic feeling as to bus
mess conditions on all sides. General
Manager r. w. Ney of the American
Steel & Wire company said today that
his company was now employing in its
various plants in this city between 1000
and 5000 men.
A large number of these workmen
have been on half time since the be-
ginning of the late financial depression,
but it is probable that the entire force
of the company will be put back on full
time shortly, if the present increase in
orders is maintained.
The plant of the American Steel &
Wire company at Salem. o., resumed
double turn operations this morning.

IN THE FUTURE
Treaty Between This Country and
France Signed by Secretary Root
and Ambassador Jusserand.

Washington, Feb. 1O.-Secretary Root
and Ambassador Jusserand today
signed treaty providing for the ar
bitration of any issue that may arise
between France and America.
The treaty will have to be submitted
to the American senate and TO the
French executive before it can become
effective Meanwhile its provisions are
withheld from publication. 1t is I'M
derstood, however, that the treaty is
drawn in accordance with the recon-
mendation at the late Hague confer
ence. which, finding it impossible to
draft a general arbitration treaty that
could receive the assent and support of
all the great powers, adopted resolu-
ton recommending that all the powers
undertake to make special arrange
ments between themselves for the set
Element of disputes by arbitration. The
present convention is believed to be in
terms similar to that prepared by Sec
rotary Olney and Lord Pauncefote
looking to the arbitration of possible
disputs between America and Great
Britain, which convention failed of ap-
prevail by the United States senate.

PROTECTION OF CHILD LIFE

London, Feb. 1O.-A bill which passed
its first reaeing in the house of COM
mons this afternoon prohibits smoking
under the age of Is.
Among other interesting features, the
bill establishes juvenile courts through
out the country, and calls for special
places of detention for children, in
stead of sending them to the ordinary
prisons 1t proposes furthermore that
the Imprisonment of children be en-
tirely abolished.
An effort is to be made also to end
the terrible waste of infant life through
drunken parents rolling on their ba-
bies in bed. The returns show that
500 infants perish annually from this
cause and in the future parents will
be punished for such deaths. Burn
ings are responsible for almost an
equal number of infant deaths, and
penalties are provided for persons who
leave children alone in rooms with un-
garded fires.

JERSEYAAN IS
NOT FOR BRYAN
Nebraskan Accused of Cruelty
ing Democracy on the
Cross of Socialism.

Washington, Feb. 10.-Debate on the
Indian appropriation bill under the five
minute rule was resumed in the. house
today. At the very outset politics was
injected into the proceedings when Mr..
Leake Dem., n. j. denounced w. j.
Bryan and his methods.
Several Republicans and Democrats
objected because he was not speaking
to the bill By unanimous consent, how
ever, he was allowed to proceed.
Hot in the Band Wagon.
Mr.. Leake said he had been surprised
at the usurpation of the prerogatives of
the delegates to the Denver conven
ton next July. There were some men,
he charged. who Believed that this was
the time and the house the place to
nominate a candidate on the Democratic
ticket. and" he said, unless my eli
lence might be construed as an indorse-
ment of. the nomination of w. J. Bryan,
I rise for the purpose of making this
protest.
IF" proceeded Mr.. Leake. L adopted
the example of Mr.. Bryan, l would We
hemently condemn him, as he did the
diStlng ulSheQ Democrat, tne HON. Gio-
yer Cleveland"
But he could, he said, content him
self with admitting that Mr.. Bryan was
honest, consistent and sincere. He de-
cIared, however, that Mr.. Bryans IA
miliarity with the decalogue better
qualified him for the pulpit than the
presidency"
Laughter and Kisses.
Republican laughter greeted this ut
terance, which Immediately afterward
was supplemented by Democratic
Kisses when Mr.. Leake said of Mr.
Bryan:
''He has taken the big stick from the
president of the United States and.s to
use his own simile. he is now cruelty
ing the principles of Democracy and
American individuality and ambition
on the cross of Socialism"
The president, thus being deprived OF
his big stick, he declared, had resorted
to the big slipper.

Opposition of Mr.. Williams.

John Sharp Williams opposition to
the election of Mr.. Lloyd, the success
or failure of which was of as much in
terest 10 Onlookers as the individual
race itself. developed about five days
ago, when the minority leader began
an active and vigorous though quietly
conducted campaign for the defeat of
the MissOurian and the election of the
representative from Buffalo. In the
absence of an open statement by Mr..
Williams of his reasons for opposing
MI Lloyd, two stories gained gratui-
tous circulation. The first was that
Mr.. LIoyd's adherence to the former
candidacy of his colleague, Mr.. Dear
mond, for the minority leadership was
involved in Mr.. Williams support Of
Mr. Ryan. The second was that Mr..
Williams believed that a northern man
should be chosen as chairman of the
campaign committee, on the score that
congressionally the south was solidly
Democratic and. therefore, the vote
field lay in the north and should be
captured by a northern Democrat The
latter theory was, indeed, preached in
the committee tonight before the bal
lot After the election Mr.. Lloyd de-
cIined to say at this time whether, as
has been rumored, the Democratic con-
gressional campaign headquarters Will
be removed from Washington TO Chi

Favored His Home Town.

Mr.. Fitzgerald New York; made vio-
lent opposition to the permanent con-
tinuance of the Indian warehouse at
st. Louis. He charged that it was put
there simply for the convenience of
former Secretary Hitchcock because
that was his home city. The amount
of business by the warehouse, he in
sisted, did not justify its maintenance.
The provision exempting farmers
from the civil service rules aroused the
opposition of Mr.. Mann QllinOis), who,
after making a point of order against
il, said that he wanted to relieve the
president of the suspicion that he was
using appointments for political pur-
poses.
