FURIOUS DEBATE OVER BATHS
PROPOSAL AT BILBAO, SPAIN,
STARTS BABEL IN COUNCIL.
Antequated Member Calls Bathing
an Unnatural Habit and Sac
rilege Of the Body.
Special cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
ROME. June 19.-The children OF the
public schools OF Bilbao. Spain. are GO
ing to have baths provided for them.
but the proposal led to furious debates
in the city council room and was finally
carried by only the narrowest of ma
jorities. 1t came about in this way:
At a meeting of a society which works
for public progress a young school
teacher named Maria Maeztu described
an educational tour she had made in
England and particularly the measures
adopted there to enforce cleanliness
among pupils. So ably did she expound
on the spot for a present to be made
to her.
To Equip Schools With Baths.
But Senorita Maeztu proposed that the
present should form the nucleus OF a
fund to equip schools with baths. This
was agreed to and the question was In
troduced the other day in the municipal
council by the socialist member Carrie
tero, who asked in addition that the
town should supply the water free.
This aroused lively opposition among
the older conservatives. Senior Acebal.
a Carlist, and Senior Tore. an ultra
montane member, called Senorita Ma
eztu a crazy crank and Carretero a red
revolutionary, while they described
bathing as an unnatural habit. a lux
ury which, like all luxuries, led to per-
dition.
Calls Bathing Immoral.
Vice Burgomaster Esguezabal excellei
the previous speakers by declaring that
bathing was immoral. and the people
who washed more than their hands ard
faces were guilty of sacrilege OF the
holy temple of their body.
Never in my life." he declaimed In
solemn tones. have taken a bath. and
l am sure that the majority OF this
honorable board are in the same happy
position!"
Then a verftable babel arose. Some OF
the honorab BILE board roundly abused the
vice burgomaster for CHASING them
with the great unwashed. But the
voice Of the latter was still strong, aud
the tangled notion of baths for
children narrowly escaped defeat.

More trouble confronts the advocates
in the Senate Of protection for petroleum

thereof has not produced much enthu-
siasm in the Senate in view of the fact
that the House placed crude and refined
petroleum on the free list. It Is likely
now that the amendment will be offered

Referring to a charge that the duty on
hides had been placed in the D1ngley law

Warren In fervent language denounced
that statement as wholly false. He was
sustained by Senator Aldrich. who re-
called that it had been voted into the bill
by the subcommittee that had framed
the paragraph and agreed to by both
Senate and House.
said: Il don't have to go to Massachu-

Mr.. Warren yielded the floor with the
statement that he would renew his dis

WOULD SEGREGATE

ST PAUL, Feb. tO.-The gradual

the acquisition OF property was nee

and its wbacks. but we believe q
