INTERNATIONAL GATHERING AT
CAPITAL TO DIcUSS VEL
FARE OF CHILDREN.
PRESIDENTS ADDRESS
PLACES THE GATHERING EVEN
HIGHER THAN VETERANS OF
THE CIVIL WAR.

Washington.-The delegation of Col
orado women who are here to attend
the first International Congress of
Mothers in America on the welfare Of
the child will take active part in the
deliberations. The delegates from Col
orado are Mesdames H. ]. Hersey, H.
A. True, L. M. Ashley and A. w. Steele
of Denver, ]. H. Region of Fort Collins
and Hawse Of Greeley. The delegates
attended reception given members Of
their organization at the White House
Tuesday afternoon by the President
and Mrs. Roosevelt and later held the
first meeting of a series which will oc-
cupy the remainder Of the week.
This is one body that l put even
higher than the veterans of the Civil
War;" was the enthusiastic preliminary
remark of President Roosevelt in re-
ceiving the delegates. The President
made the occasion a decidedly more
than in formal reception by having the
Marine band in attendance and his mil
itary and naval aides in full uniform.
He said:
when all is said, it is the mother,
citizen even than the soldier who fights
for his country. The successful mother,
the mother who does her part in rear
ing and training bright boys and girls,
who are TO be the men and women of
the next generation, is of greater use
to the community and occupies, if she
only would realize it, more honorable
as well as more important position than
any successful man in it.
81 want to ask your assistance for
two or three matters that are not i'm
mediately connected with the life in
the family itself, but that are of vital
consequence to the children. In the
first place, in the schools, see that the
school work is made as practicable as
possible. AS regards our public schools
especially, I want to put in special
word in behalf of the right kind of
Fairgrounds. No school is a good
school if it has not good playground.
Help the children to play; and remem-
Der that you can often help them most
by leaving them entirely alone. 1t is
the gravest kind of wrong not only to
the children, but to the whole commu-
nifty, to turn out the boys and girls, es-
pecially in the congested part of the
city, with no place to play but the
streets.
You can not have good citizens,
good men and women of the next gen.
GRAFTON, if the boys and girls are
worked in the factories to the stunting
of their moral, mental and physical
growth Wherever the national gov
ernment can reach it should do away
with the evils of child labor, and
trust this will be done; but much must
be done by the actions of the several
state Legislatures; and do each Of you,
in your several states, all that you can
to secure the enactment and then the
enforcement of laws that shall put
stop to the employment of children OF
tender age in doing what only grown
people should do"
Wedn esday luncheon will be ten
dered the members and their friends
at which Mrs. Hersey will preside as
toastmis.ress. At Thursdays meeting
Mrs. Hersey will read a paper entitled
"The Spirit of the Home" and Friday
Mrs. True will speak on "The Welfare
of the Child

FIGHTING TUBERCULOSIS.
Remarkable List of Prizes Offered by
international Congress.

Washington.-The central committee
of the international congress on tuber-
culosis has announced the offer of the
following prizes:
l. A prize of 81 900 is offered for the
best evidence of effective work in the
prevention or relief of tuberculosis by
any voluntary association since the
last international congress in 1905.
2. A prize of $1,000 is offered for
the best exhibit of an existing sana
torium for the treatment of curable
cases of tuberculosis among the work
ing classes.
B. A prize of $1,000 is offered for
the best exhibit of a furnished house,
for family or group of families of
wage-earners designed in the interest
of the crusade against tuberculosis. In
addition tC the prize of 81 200, two gold
medals and three silver medals will be
awarded. The prize and medals will
be accompanied by diplomas or certifi-
Gates of award. This prize is designed
to stimulate efforts towards securing
a maximum of sunlight, ventilation,
proper heating, and general sanitary
arrangement for an inexpensive home.
A model of house and furnishing is re-
quired.
4. A prize of $1,000 is offered for
the best exhibit of dispensary or
kindred institution for the treatment
of the tuberculous poor
8. A prize of $1,000 is offered for
the best exhibit of a hospital for the
treatment of advanced pulmonary tu-
berculosis.
In addition to the 1000 prize in
each of the above cases, two gold
m 1C ell oil
be awarded.
The Hodgkins fund prize of s1,5OO
is offered by the Smithsonian institu-
ton for the best treatise that may be
submitted on THE Relation of Atmos-
pheric Air to tuberculosis"
The detailed definition of this prize
may be obtained from the secretary
general of the international society or
secretary of the Smithsonian institu-
tion, Charles d. Walcott.
A gold medal and two silver medals
are offered for the best exhibits senL
In by any states of the United States,
Illustrating effective organization for
the restriction of tuberculosis.
In the list of prizes, attention is
about equally divided between meas
ures for the care or relief of sufferers
from the white plague" and those
concerned primarily with the preven-
ton of the disease. 1t has taken a
long time for civilized people to find
out that the principal ground on which
the battle against tuberculosis is
fought is in the homes. 1t has been
much easier to accept scientific discov-
cries than to face the every day fact
that dirt, dampness. darkness, vice and
privation are the strongest allies that
tuberculosis has. The records of the
visiting nurses, and the maps of lung
blocks" give all the positive evidence
needed on this score

Decision for Mayor schmltz.

San Francisco.-The State Supreme
Court has refused rehearing in the
case of former Mayor Eugene E.
Schmitz, convicted of extortion from
French restaurant proprietors and SEN
fenced to five years in the peniten-
tiary. This sustains the decision OF the
District Court of Appeals, which de-
creed that the judgment and order CT
the lower court be reversed, sustained
the demurrer to the Indictment and Or
dered the discharge of the defendant
on the ground that under the law no
offense had been committed. The pros
ecution purposes to try him and Ruef,
to whom the decision also applies, on
Other charges.

INDEPENDENT SUGAR PLANT.
Arkansas Valley Farmers and Capt.
taIists Preparing to Build.

tallsts preparing to Build.
Denver.-A Manzanola Otero county,
special to the Denver News Monday
says:
AS a direct result of the fight
unitedly made by farmers of the
Arkansas valley against the demand
of the American Beet Sugar Company
and the Holly Sugar Company that the
growers produce beets for $3.50 a ton
Manzanola will have sugar factory
owned by the farmers and local capi-
talists.
Directors of the Arkansas Valley
Beet Sugar Manufacturing Company
met today and a representative of the
company, now in New York, was in
structed to close with a beet sugar
machinery company for the necessary
plant. The farmers of the valley have
made determined fight against the
$3.50 beet and now that the factory
here is assured they claim victory is
with them.
w. b. Ebbert, who, with Thomas ].
Stanley, had been sent east to nego-
tiate for machinery, returned today and
reported that several firms had been
visited and that good propositions had
been made. Following the report the
directors telegraphed to Stanley tell
ing him to close the deal for the ma
chinery.
The company perfected it's organiza-
ton and j. M. Beatty was elected pres
ident. e. Brewer was made first vice
president, Thomas ]. Stanley second
vice president, w. l.. Cloves secretary
and H. B. Dye treasurer.
The company has filed its articles of
incorporation with the secretary of
70 wi he oil nd
is capitalized for 81 ,000, 900.
There is now no doubt that the fac
tory will be built and that it will be
ready to handle the crop of the pres
ent year. At a meeting of the farmers
it was decided to extend the time on
the contracts which have been signed
by them for beet acreage. That time
expired today, and the farmers have
all decided to stick with the inde-
pendent factory.
The farmers do not look upon the
factory here as a Manzanola enter
prise, and from Florence to the state
line along the Arkansas valley it is
considered as a proposition in which
the entire valley is concerned. They
are positive that the success of this
enterprise, now assured, will mean the
success of all the farmers who grow
beets
Word has reached here, too, from
the growers of the northern field that
every success is wished for the new
enterprise. Resolutions have been
passed by the farmers in the northern
beet fields, in which the growers of
this valley are urged to accept nothing
less than $5 per ton for their beets.
The farmers are back of the new fac
tory, and its promoters say that it can
not now fail.
Active work of building the factory
will be commenced at once. The fac
tory is backed by ample capital and
the farmers say they will get s5 beets
from at least one factory this year
