TELLS SCIENCE CLUB HOW
TO KEEP CHILD HONEST
Chief Probation Officer of Ala

inalS in Making

christopher Ruess, chief probation
officer of Alameda county, talked on
What Society Owes the Criminal be-
fore the Social Science league, 925
Golden Gate avenue, last night. He
did not touch on the adult criminal
except to show how youthful tenden-
cies govern the man. His remarks
were confined to the child at home in
school and at play. 1t was the con-
tention of the speaker that the char
acter of the child was dependent on
these agencies.
The speaker insisted that the trou-
Bile was not in the man, but his habit
If children are brought up loosely, al
lowed to be idle, smoke cigarettes and
disregard laws. they come naturally
into life of crime, he argued.
To correct these tendencies Ruess
urged the betterment of the home and
school In the home, he said, the
child in order to make a good man
must have the proper parental inhu-
ence, and this could not be had where
either the mother or father was a
drunkard, where the family was dis
rupted by divorce or neglect and
an improper sense of duty. Relative
to environment Ruess advocated the
establishment Of more Fairgrounds.

BIG FLEET READY
FOR WORLD CRUISE
Coal and Provisions on Board
and Battleships Will Sail
at Noon Tomorrow

Every ship of the Atlantic fleet is
ready for the cruise around the world.
The last pound of coal was taken on
yesterday. The finishing touches to
bolt, bar and machinery have been
completed. The navy yards have done
their work and the Is ironclads are
awaiting the order to weigh anchor.
Promptly at o'clock tomorrow aft
ernoon the signal will futter from the
Connecticut and the great white ships
VIII head for the Golden gate. They
viii go out as they came in, with the
Connecticut in the van, a distance of
400 yards separating the battleships.
There will be no firing of guns.
For weeks past the preparations for
the long cruise have occupied the minds
of the officers. Full 10000 men on 10
battleships bound around the world
meant work-hard work. Flag lieu
tenants have worried themselves al
most to badness over orders, counter
orders and still more orders; chiefs of
staff have grown irritable; supply ships
have supplied and colliers dumped their
grimy necessity into the hungry bunk
ers. The engineer has petted, patted
and examined with critical eye the en-
gines.
More than 10000 men have daily
given their labors to the gigantic task.
And seated in the admirals cabin on
board the Connecticut there has been
a smiling, courteous man working
with brains. In Admiral Sperry there
was found the moving finger of the
system, the wonderful, mathematical
system which makes 5000 men single
unit.
The last auxiliary sailed Saturday
and the last battleship has taken its
place in the ranks. All day yester-
day loads of coal passed over the sides
and into the bunkers of the Ohio. Lib
erty leave for the bluejackets expired at
Z a. m today.
The ships were thrown open to the
public for the last time yesterday and
the crowds recognizing the fact
swarmed over in greater numbers than
ever.
The battleship Kansas is still in
quarantine, although the three cases Of
dipththeria have been cured and the
patients are all on the road to speedy
recovery.
Three cases of typhoid fever were dis
covered on the battleship Nebraska yes
terday. The sick men will be removed
today to the marine hospital at the
Preside.

GIVES 16 ORGANS
TO MEN OF FLEET
p. p. BilhOrn Makes Present OF
Instruments, One for Each
of. the Battleships

The formal presentation of the 16
portable organs to the vessels of the
Atlantic fleet was made on board the
Connecticut yesterday by P. T. Bill
horn and accepted by the enlisted men
and officers with three rousing cheers.
The ceremony was devoid of any tor
mality. The men gathered below deck,
and the situation was explained to them
by Commander Louis S. Van Duzer in
few words. Simple also was the pre-
sentation speech OF Bilhorn.
If these organs will add to the
pleasure of your trip around the world"
said he, then 1 will be more than re-
paid. 1 hope it will bring you some
enjoyment and make more pleasant
your religious services
Captain Father Gleason, chaplain. of
the Connecticut, in accepting the or
gans for the Connecticut and the other
vessels paid high compliment to the
work of the Y. M. c. A. among the
men of the fleet.
During our trip" said he, we have
had the satisfaction of being visited
by members of the Y. NJ. C. A. and I, as
a Catholic priest. have appreciated
what they have done for our men.
have many Protestant friends on board
and | am anxious to see them cared
for as those of my own religion. We
needed an organ and need it badly. Our
services have been handicapped for
lack of one, and now that we have one
we have to make some one learn TO
play it. Some of you who have been
strumming on the piano Will have to
turn your attention To the organ"
At the conclusion Of the presentation
cheers were given for Bilhorn and Fatn-
er Gleason. Religious services were
then opened, with A. II. Emett, relig-
ious director of the Los Angeles
Y. NJ. c. A. presiding. During the
services Bilhorn sang several religious
songs and the Song of the Fleet" The
organ was used for the first time and
the men Joined in the swinging choruses
with lusty vim.
Dr. George E. Burlingame, pastor of
the First Baptist church, addressed the
bluejackets. He took the new organ
for his theme and declared that If the
men wanted to have it furnish the
music as it did under Bilhorns manipu-
lation, the player must possess Bilhorn's
spirit.
Otherwise" said he, sit will be
simply decoration. And it is the
same with the human organ. If there
is not permeating the human organ
the spirit of Christ it will be without
use, music or beauty"
Many members of the First Baptist
church were present at the services.
and before leaving the ship distributed
tracts among the sailors.

fathers instinct and a grandmother S.
Miss Robson has discovered the aunt S
instinct; and it fiourishes in her idolo-
try of her orphaned nephew. She is
brought to believe, however, that he
has committed the objectionable sin,
that he has, in fact, deceived a woman,
and the aunt, country bred and for 25
years the tenant of a farm, disinherits
the lad, who goes with his friends to
New York. The rest of the play is
devoted to the reconciliation and the
development of the lovable, whimsical
and winsome characteristics of Aunt
Mary, whose personality would seem to
it its personifier so closely as to sug-
gest the mutuality Of virtues.
Throughout the play there runs the
thread that holds all humanity together;
occasionally in the lesser roles it must
be admitted, the sentiment sometimes
is abashed at itself, but never with Miss
Robson. She has a seventh sense which
tells her just how far she can carry a
sophisticated audience into the land of
sentiment, then she dries your ewes and
you swallow the lump in the throat and
pretend you were going to laugh any
way. Miss Robson never passes into
the maudlin, though a rather sentimen-
tai book invites her associates to the
part which must be accounted human
to the finger tips. Aunt Mary is sweetly
feminine and altogether charming. You

Storey, whose difficult role is rather too
large at times for him, but he dons the
part with average success and makes
the most of one or two situations which
leave him the audiences friend. His
scene at the piano, where he plays for
the girl he loves, is splendidly done, for
instance. Nina Saville, as the servant
in Aunt Mary's home, is so good a
character actress that the suggestion
arises that she has looked carefully
at the art Of the star, whose waiting
woman she is. AS there are but few
minutes when Miss Robson is not on
the stage, there is, I suppose, little
reason for bringing an expensive COM

subsidiary roles. 1t would require great
