National Conference of
Charities and COrrec-
tions Finishes Prog
ram For Next Meeting
WILL OCCUR At BUFFALO IN
JUNE-A GREAT DEAL AC-
COMPILSHED FOR HUMANITY
THROUGH CONFERENCE.

BUFFALO,, n. Y May 24.-What.
gives promise of being the largest
and most important session of the
national conference of charities and
correction in the thirty-six years of
its history will be held here June g.
16. inclusive. This national confer
ence. which is really seven or eight
large bodies of men and women en-
gagged in as many different lines of
social and philanthropic work in the
United States and Canada, is one of
the unique institutions of America.
1t has no constitution or laws. save
a few unwritten rules which guide its
proceedings: it has never committed
itself by resolution to any particular
idea or program of reform or pro-
gress. but has always remained, as
its name indicates. conference. Out
of its discussions from year to year
have grown important movements o!
national. and sometime world wide,
significance. The country wide effort
TO stamp out tuberculosis was born
in this conference. SO also was the
playground movement, as well as the
effort To solve the problem of over
crowding of people in city tenements,
the betterment of the national sys-
tenn of jails, aims houses, and other
institutions for dependents. The
conference has also proved a com
mon meeting ground for soeiologists
economists. and the medical profes-
sion in developing those lines of pre-
yentive medicine aud hygiene which
are going far to improve living con-
editions among the people of the
American states.
The president of the conference
this year is Mr. Ernest =. Bicknell,
director of the American National
Red Cross in Washington. Mr.. Bick-
nell Is one of the foremost men in the
philanthropic world in America. He
is a graduate of the University of In
diana. and was for a number of years
reporter on the Indianapolis News.
He left newspaper work to become
the secretary of the state board of
charities of Indiana. and during his
administration very many of the
plans and laws, which have placed

as possible before the cotton and
wooden schedules are reached, on
which there will be much discussion
and sharp conflict. 1t is not probable
however. that either of these sched-
ules will be reached during the pres
ent week.
Senator Aldrich will continue to
urge the fixing of a day for final vote
on the tariff bill. He is sanguine of
success and discourages all morbid
prophecies of an all-summer session.
No plan of operation has been out
lined beyond that of hammering away
at the various schedules as per-
sistently as possible. This is Senator
Aldrichs program and nothing but
set speeches of strong opposition by
other senators will cause him to de-
yiate from It,

and interruption of Hepburn was in
frequent. Several senators will to-
morrow make replies.
The Philippine tariff bill was final

several previous efforts had been
made to put II through, but had
met with failure because of lack of
presence of quorum on the occasions
when vote was called.

OMAHA. Neb. May 24.-Although
the police department of this city
and the sheriff have had large forces
of men securing the country in the
vicinity of the scene of last night S
holdup on the Union Pacific railroad
three miles west of the city, little
progress has been made toward the
arresting of the robbers.
Two empty mail pouches taken
from the train were found some dis
tance from where the robbery oc-
Cured. They had been cut open and
their contents removed, the outlaws
overlooking only one package.
The highwaymen dropped from
sight so quickly that not a single per-
son has been able to give a clew
Every town in the county has been
notified and the sheriffs of surround
ing counties have been keeping a
lookout for strangers The post Of

TO aid in the search.
Chief Clerk Whitmore. of the mail
car, said the pouches stolen were
considered among the less important
registered mail. One of them was a
foreign pouch. four were destined for
Chicago and the other two to New
York.
A number of secret service men ar
rived in Omaha from Kansas City to-
night to join in the hunt. Sheriff
Bauman has notified the local police
that three men hurriedly left sa-
loon near the depot at that place,
just as the Overland Limited was
getting ready to leave, and he be-
lieves they boarded the train. He
has furnished good descriptions of
the men and the local authorities
are hunting for strangers who fit
their descriptions.
None of the trainmen are able to
describe the men as their masks and
raincoats covered them completely.
They are thought to have had an
automobile in waiting and to have
made escape in this.
