CHRIsToDoRA CAMP.
Year Round Retreat for East Side
Folks Who Need Rest.

From the Outlook.
An interesting development Of settle
ment work is found In the summer camp
Of Christodora House. Christodora House
is a social settlement maintained in the
crowded East Side region of Avenue B.
Through the generosity OF some Of its
supporters q tract Of seventy-two acres
has been obtained in the hills Of eastern
New Jersey, where an outdoor camp has
been established as recreation and edu-
cational center for the families to whom
Christodora House ministers In the city.
An attractive and comfortable central
building has been erected, which is sur
rounded with cabins and tents. The prop
erty has room for fifty tents, each stand
ing in an acre of ground. The main
building of the camp Is prepared for oc-
cupancy during the entire year.. with
steam heat, modern plumbing and run
ming water.
ii IS hoped that fund will be pro-
vided that the camp may be enjoyed by
Christodora neighborhood people as q
resting place for convalescents from III
ness, and for recuperation which city
workers, especially in crowded districts.
SO often need. The managers plan to
establish short and simple courses IN
agriculture as well as classes for manual
training.
There are, Of course. in various parts
OF the country hundreds OF fresh aif
homes and vacation houses Tor teH-
porary use in the summer. These vaca-
ton centers are doing a most useful and
beautiful work. But. SO far as appears
the plan Of Christodora House or mann
tanning an all-the-year settlement in the
country as we'll as In the city is novel.

Reforming the Tramp.

From the Portland (Aie) Advertiser.
The state of New York Is about to un-
dertake the solution of the problem OF the
tramp. The idle sons of rest are to be
sent to state farms and made to work.
Convicted OF vagrancy, they may De SEN
fenced to these establishments. Each re-
cruit must stay at least two years and he
may be kept as much longer as the au-
thorities think necessary to make him
over into a self-respecting citizen capable
Of earning a livelihood. He will be taken
near to natures heart, to use an over
worked expression. and introduced to
green things as they grow. When he
eats his meals 1t will be with an appetite
whetted by the labor of gathering the
materials for them. The state also pro-
poses to early give him different taste
OF the fruits of toll. He will be credited
with his earnings and II he is found to
be deserving will be allowed to draw and
spend a portion of them during the time
OF his compulsory labor. When he is
discharged the money due him will be
paid over. The scheme looks well In
theory, but the hoboes and the buns who
sleep the. summer days away on the
benches OF the city parks are not very
promising material for work OF this kind.
1t remains to oe, seen how many Of them
can be transformed into self-supporting
members Of the community.

NEW YORK, August 27.-That Charles

was released from the Tombs prison un'
der $125, 600 bail, has begun his efforts tc
rehabiiifate his fallen fortunes was In

pany, which takes place in about month
The claims against the company, which
ia now In the hands Of receivers, amount
to $1,157.012.
Mr. Morse, who testified month OF

funds or property, said that the money
to buy in the claims was obtained from
the Morse Securities Company OF Bath

DRIFTED DAYS WITHOUT FOOD
MOTOR BOAT ENGINE FAILED
ON LAKE MICHIGAN.
DIR. Richie and His Nephew Rescued
| In an Exhausted Condition
by Passing Steamer.

Special Dispatch to The Star
ESCANABA, Mich, August 27-Float-
ing for four days at the mercy OF the
wind and seas of Lake Michigan, with
nothing to eat and afraid to sleep lest
some ship might pass within hailing
distance unseen, DIR. G. A. Richie and
his nephew. Hal Richie. of SauIt Ste.
Marie were towed into this port today
by an ore carrier in an exhausted con-
dition.
Starting from Depere, Wis, Monday
with a new thirty foot cruising launch,
the two men struck boldly out into the
lake. When well out their engine,
which had been working badly for sew :
eral hours, stopped completely, and no
amount Of attention could bring an ex-
plosion in the gas chambers. That night
the two finished the small stock of food
and both kept watch.
All the next day they worked with
the engine. A heavy sea sprang up, and
a rude sea anchor was thrown out to
keep the little crafts bow to the wind
Even with this precaution it was often
half buried beneath the great rollers.
Another night and another day passed.
Growing weaker as each hour passed.
hoping each moment to sight a Iaks
boat. the two men fought off despair
subsisting on water alone. AS the days
passed and the expected boats did not
appear they grew more desperate, and
finally, when several large boats passed
them too far out to hail, they almost
abandoned hope. Finally they succeeded
in hailing the passing ore carrier.

GIVES HOPE TO DEMOCRATS
PAYNE TARIFF LAW DECLARED
TO BE UNPOPULAR.
Representative Bartlett Reports Dis
satisfaction In Maine and Hears
Rumors From West.

Representative Bartlett Of Georgia, on
his way south from a stay in Maine, is
impressed with the idea that the country,
as whole, Is dissatisfied with the Payne
tariff bill, and that the democrats have a
splendid chance In the next few years to
even up with their many defeats at the
hands of the republicans.
when old time. stancll Maine republic
cans find fault with the Payne tariff law
and declare their intention OF rebuking
the republican party at the first oppor-
tunity, 1t is significant said Mr.. Bartlett.
Yet, / found many able citizens of that
state, business and professional men. who
were severely condemnatory of the new
law. They declared that there was no
genuine downward revision and that the
wool schedule alone was an outrage.
There was also much criticism OF Speaker
Cannon and his methods OF running the
House, and this struck me as showing
the familiarity OF American citizens with
the work done in Washington.
II arm told that in the northwest. mid
die west and other sections Of the coun-
try dissatieiaction is widespread with the
tariff and that the republican lea ders al
ready fear the results when the next
congressional election rolls around. 1t
is to be hoped the democrats will take
advantage of the situation. There is no
lor everything used by the people of the
country. The Payne tariff act will be
largely responsible for this in spite Of
the efforts of the republicans to deceive
the people into believing it is due to other
things.
when the voters of the country have
to pay 30 to 40 per cent advance on the
clothes they wear next year it will be
mighty hard for republican speakers to
make them believe that this condition
than the tariff And the tariff is re-
sponsipIe. too. in that 1t has fostered a
wool trust, which could not have existed
on lower rates of duty on woolen goods
The Georgian does not believe that
President Taf will be able sop the
dissatisfaction IN the west by speeches
he will make on his long trip through
that section.

new TARIFF LAW
WORKS SMOOTHLY
INFO oRMATIoN FROM PORTS INpI.
GATES THERE HAS BEEN NO
TROUBLE IN INTER.
PRETING IT.

Washington, Aug. Information
received at the treasury today from
New York city. Boston and PhiladeI-
phia, indicate that the new tariff law
is working Unexpectedly smoothly.
Generally at the beginning OF the
operation OF new tariff law, matters
in the big customs houses are at "sixes
and sevens" for a few days. but no
confusion yet has manifested itself In
the administration OF the Payne law.
II Is said. BY treasury officials, this
Is accounted for by reason OF the new
law having been constructed on the
general lines Of the Dingley act, al
though, OF course, the figures differ
In anticipation Of the enactment OF
the new law, general instructions we're
sent by the treasury department two
weeks ago to collectors OF customs at
the various ports Of the United States.
The collectors were directed pending
the arrival in their Offices OF official
copies Of the new law, to collect the
duties under the old law on estimates,
but not to liquidate any entries until
they had the new law before them.
Will Have Official Copies.
BY the opening of business tomor-
row morning the collectors at practic-
ally all Of the ports of the country
will have received official copies OF the
Payne act. They will begin, therefore
the liquidation Of entries at that time.
The porus on the Pacific coast will not
receive their copies for nearly a week.
and 1t win be nearly two weeks before
the ports In the Hawaiian islands get
the law in official form. Approximate
ly two-thirds Of all the customs dues
received by the government are taken
In at the port Of New York. The next
largest ports are Boston and Philadel-
phia. In all, there are about $50 ports
Of the United States at which duties
are collected
