FOR SCIENTISTS
Scholarship the Qualification
for Life's Activities Says
Attorney General

South Bethlehem, Pa, June SIN a
notable address delivered here today
before the Alumi association of Lehigh
university, George w. Wickersham,
attorney general of the United States
one time student of the university
discussed in an Illuminating way
the differentiation between merely
technical education and broad culture.
He, himself, he said, had found in DR..
Henry Coppee, at that time president
OF tho university. q wise counsellor,
who. quick to recognize in student
taste for letters, had advised him to
relinguish the study of calculus for
that of Blackstone. Such advice was
hardly to be expected from the faculty
of Lehigh, for the absorbing interests
Of the institution then were technical.
THE thoughts OF many eager young
men," said Mr.. Wickersham, were
therefore directed toward preparation
for the different branches of engineer
ing, believing that those vocaticns Of
fered tho most promising pathways to
success and prosperity.
1T was natural for Americans. with
sense of the great natural resources
Of their country, to turn to the study
and application of practical science,
in order that they might aid in the de-
velopment cf those resources and
share in the material results to be
thereby realized"
Mr.. Wickersham suggested that the
mere students OF technical knowledge
have not take quite the rank in
Av,,a
commensurate with their accomplish
ments in their own professions. l as
scribe this to the fact that their train
ing has been too purely technical; !;
they have specialized too early in life,
and without that broad and catholic
foundation upon which special train
ing should be based. All educated
men concede the full value of the
technical education; but the defects
in merely technical education also
are easily perceived The require
ments Of a civilization that is not
purely materialistic have not dis
pensed with art and literature. nor
ignored the tremendous importance of
the imagination-the value of poetry
and song in inspiring that impulse
(which achieves the greatest practical
results. nor can it minimize the i'm.

After had talked with Miss Get
telson could not detain her, and do
not see why she should be bothered
farther in the Cleminson case" said
Capt. Kane. Il am confident that her
relations with DR.. Cleminson have no
bearing on the death mystery in Rog-
ers park. 1t goes to show, however,
that Cleminson had women OH his
string In every part of the city. AS
the investigation progresses we will
complete the chain in the police the
ory of the death of Mrs. Cleminson." T"
Police officials and detectives from
the states attorneys office continued
a search through Cleminsons neigh
borhood in Rogers park. Bit by bit
an enormous amount of circumstantial
evidence is being accumulated. In
der the eyes of Capt. Kane andS de-
tectives who have given time and en-
ergy to the solution of the strange
death mystery this mass of evidence
is being carefully sorted and prepar-
ed for the states attorneys office.
At the Cleminson homo a partly
filled mineral water bottle was found
in box under the kitchen sink.
Coupled with the discovery the police
learned that Mrs. Cleminson had been
given regular doses of the water as
an aid to digestion for several weeks.
Thinking the dregs in the bottle
might reveal poison it was turned
over to chemists for ap analysis.
COnfers With His Attorney.
Attorney Edward j. Green, one of
the physicians counsel, went to the
county Jail and had long conference
with his client. Green asked that he
be taken to the Jail hospital, but
Jailer Davies declared Cleminson to
be in good health and refused him any
attention not given other prisoners.
Cleminson's attorneys later had a
conference with Assistant States At
torney B. ]. Short, the subject of
which neither would divulge. The
mother of the prisoner visited him in
his cell during the day. She shows
that the strain has been severe upon
her. She declined to talk.
After conferences with the states
attorneys Office Capt. Kane announced
that the case against Cleminson would
be brought to the attention of the
June grand jury as soon as convened.
Witnesses whose names the police Of
ficer has kept secret will appear and
are counted upon to secure an indict-
nlent against the Rogers park physi-
clan.
The police learned that a Mrs. j. NJ.
Gray, who was counted upon to give
evidence against Cleminson, had gone
to LIE Moyne la.

JURY ACQUITTED
EARNEST. MORRIS
Not Guilty of Killing Brother
on Homestead Near Mile. d.
stone Last April !

Regina, Sask., June 8.-After trial
lasting over a week and the hearing
of over a score Of witnesses, Ernest
Morris, charged with numbering his
brother Charles on April last, was
on Saturday found not guilty. At %
minutes to 6 on Monday the jury
retired to consider their verdict, and
at 13 minutes to they returned to
the court room and announced as
above. The accused, as they filed in
to declare their verdict, scrutinized
each face. but when in reply to the.
question. Gentlemen of the jury,
what have you to say, is the prisoner
guilty or not guilty?" the foreman
stood up and replied "Not Guilty, my
lord" he exhibited very little trace of
feeling.
In the afternoon the court room and
corridors outside were crowded with
an interested crowd. When the ac-
cused left the box somebody started
to clap, but the constable on duty i'm
mediately suppressed this. Outside
in the corridors of the courtta large
number of persons crowded around
Morris to shake his hand, including
some of his milestone friends and
altogether the verdict seemed -torbe a
popular one.
Probably the two factors thatehad
the greatest influence with the jury in
persuading them to arrive at the con-
clusion they did was the evidence of
the Kinkades, father. mother and
daughter The evidence NJ tho father
regarding the tracking, and the fact
that he had said nothing of this at the
inquest, nor to several friends he,d had
written to about the matter since, was
not very satisfactory. and this, taken
with the fact that mother and daugh-
ter, the latter Ernest's financee, were
quite at variance on the important
point Of accused's demeanor on the
night of the tragedy, doubtless helped
the prisone's case very considerably.

be awakened at five cr little after
in order to arrive at the factory by
6 O'clock in some instances at half
past six. 1t means that for six months
of the year they must leave home and
walk often a mile or more through
raw mist, the cold, and the. darkness
so typical of a north of England town.
1t means that they will stay in the
factory until twelve or half past

for breakfast, breakfast composed
of bread and butter and tea, without
milk, taken at the loomside. 1t means
that at twelve or half past they run

After a long morning, begun when

THE value of a study Of British
conditions" Mr.. Clark concludes, Lies
in the more vivid appreciation it gives
us of the ultimate evil tendencies of
even regulated industrialism upon
workers. Broader and more generous
remedies must be discovered for these
evils before it is too late. Such rem
edies are being experimental with in
England. Present conditions in that
country are an improvement upon
those of the past; but it is coming to
be understood that the influence of
the law must exceed the bounds Of
the factory.
Reforms must extend into the
homes of workers, governing the in
innate affairs of domestic life, and
they can be accomplished only by
gradually introducing higher efficien-
cy, higher earnings and more in
telligent distribution of home eXpendi-
lures. Fundamentally, therefore, the
problem has two aspects-economic
and educational. The Importance of
both aspects is recognized and the
method of education to make possible
higher earnings is a yet untried field
of legislation. England seems dis
posed to enter it experimentally, how
ever. by establishing wage boards"

Mr.. Clark points out that overwork
depends upon intensity as we'll as
time. Intensity is unregulated. The
act is sometimes evaded, especially by
small employers, and some factories
send away work to be done by en-
ployes illegally at home outside of
factory hours. On the other hand, in
many establishments women and chill
dren do not work the full legal time,
sc that their average hours in all fac
tories probably are less than the max
imum allowed by law.
In Great Britain the sentiment of
tho general public and of many EN-
pioyers and the official attitude of the
labor party is opposed to the labor of
children under II years of age in fac
tories and workshops, and SO to the
half time system. Some of the worst
evils of child labor exist in north Ire
land, especially in the linen factories
of Belfast and vicinity. A factory in
spector, making a special investiga-
tion of conditions in this district,
found that illegal employment of chill
dren under age was not uncommon,
and that children with surgeons cer-
tificates were working at tasks be-
yond their strength and capacity.
Children sometimes worked with cer-
tificates that did not belong to them.

LAST FAREWELL

We have concluded after years of active business life in Globe to retire from business. Mir. Baatz has been in. disposed for year or so past, spending much time at Hot Springs. His attend ing physician has advised him to see new scenery and different climate, where it is hoped he will regain his health. The big retiring sale is the re- suit.
 The unexpected often occurs, as in this instance, and we purchased our regular spring line as usual, not know. ing that we would come to this con clusion so soon. Had we known six months ago when we were buying for this seasons trade what we do today we would have closed out our stock some time ago Not knowing this, how. ever, we can only. do what is left 10 be done, to distribute our entire stock of new, up-to-date spring merchandise into the homes of the people for less than the actual cost of the raw mater ial.
 Our merchandise consists of the fin est makes of the world s most famous looms, and everything will go at most astounding prices. Think of it! An entire new Spring stock of merchan- disc to be sold at prices that will hard ly cover the cost of the labor, leaving
