URGE A CHILDREN'S BUREAU
CHARITY WORKERS ASK NEW
GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT.
President Roosevelt Hears at Banquet
the Results Of the Conferences
Deliberations.

Washington, Jan. 27.--A Advanced
steps of farreaching significance ia
the future welEbeing of the children
OF the country We're taken at the con.
GLIDING session yesterday of the con.
ference on the care of dependent chill
dren held in this city. Voiclng the
unanimous sentiment of nearly 200
delegates, the conference adopted a
comprehensive report of it's conclu-
sions as to the most practical plan for
promoting the welfare of the neglected
child.
One of the most important recon-
mendations contained in the report,
which was submitted to President
Roosevelt at a notable subscription
dinner given by the conference at the
New Willard last night, requested the
president to send a message to con-
gress urging the establishment of a
federal chiidrens bureau, one of whose
objects shall be to disseminate accu-
rate information in regard to child
caring work and the needs of the
children. The report embodies the
conclusions of a two days deiiberation
by the most prominent charity work
ers and others, and deals with every
phase Of the problem of caring for the
dependent child.
Briefly summarized, the conclusions
of the conference are as follows:
Children Of worthy parents should,
as rule, be kept with their parents;
homeless and neglected children, il
normal, should be cared for in fam
lilies, when practicable; child-caring in
situations should be on the cottage
plan; states should inspect all agen-
cies caring for dependent children;
educational work or institutions caring
for dependent children should be SUI
pervised by state educational authori-
ties; agencies caring for children
should cooperate to ascertain and con-
troll causes of dependency, perma-
neat organization for work along the
line of this declaration is desirable;
prohibitlve legislation against transfer
of dependent children between states
should be repealed; cooperation be-
tween child-caring agencies and more
thorough precautions for surgical and
medical care Of children in all insti-
tutions.

STRICKEN FROM RECORDS
INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE CON.
DENNIS ARUslvE TALK.
Speech Made by Congressman Wiletts
Against the President Not Fit
to be Printed.
Omitted Press Dispatch.

Washington, d. c.. Jan. 27.-Chair
man Mann, (Illinois) of the house
special committee to make an investi,
cation of the Willetts speech, deliv
cred Jan. 10, reported today. The re
port favors the adoption of a resOlu
ton eXpunging the speech from con,
gresSiOnal records. The report says
freedom of speech in the house is
never denied. but freedom of speech
in debate does not mean the right
of personal abuse and ridicule. The
right of members of congress to criti'
else the official acts of a president or
other officers is beyond question, but
that right must be subject to the rules
requiring decorum in debate"
Continuing the report says it is i'm,
possible to separate the Objectionable
part from that which Is parliamentary
and recommends striking the entire
speech from the records.
Appended 10 the report is a letter
from Willetts in. which he said he
acted within his rights when making
the speech. He said that striking
the speech from the records would es,
tablish a dangerous precedent.
The House this afternoon adopted
unanimously the report submitted by
the committee. ...

in a quandary for a Jack" to lift
up the axle, theirs having broken in

dog Some days ago he had followed

avenue While surveying the land
scape there, he espied hoe near the
SPOTS residence Taking it in his
mouth by the long handle, Teddy
dragged on the ground. Now what
did this very bright dog do but let
the hoe drop, pick it up again, trying
it several times till he got it in per-
feet balance? Then he proudly trotted
off down Bluff road, never stopping
till he got to the store The hoe was
dispatched to its owner, as the dog
had been watched.
