BELLBOY ALLEGES FAMOUS

Emma Eanes Indignant at Seeing
Account Of De Gogorza
Case
Especial to The Herald.l

PITTSBURG. March 26.-Much talk
has been caused in musical and society
circles by an alleged attack last night
in the Hotel Schenley by Nine. Emma
Eames, famous singer, on HALEY Nor
gan. a bellboy.
1t appears Miss Eames called for her
morning paper, but instead the boy
brought her an evening paper which
displayed the De Gogorza divorce case,
in which Miss Games Is an alleged
figure. whereupon she lost her temper
and slapped the boy and shut the door
on his fingers, badly bruising them.

commercial and financial enterprises.
better social advantages, more oppor-
tunitics for meeting people financially,
socially and politically prominent, and
more opportunities for making a mark
in the world
The desire Of the farm boy To enter
commercial life OF the city is, in vast
majority of cases, first instilled in him
10y his parents. With natural pride
they over-cstimatc his capabilities and
believe he can establish name for
himself that will be as illustrious as
that of many farm boys who have pre-
ccdcd him. The result in large per-
centage of cases is that he ekcs out a
bare existance at some clcrkship from
which he cannot or never does rise
above.
or course this is not true in all cases.
Men who have been most successful i'm
business careers spent their boyhood
days on the farm. But great many
farm bred boys would have been bet
ter of and far more ccntentcd in life
had they been satisfied to be "A big
toad in small pond, rather than
small toad in a big pond"
Agriculture is the foundation OF our
national postsrity. To safe. guard
that posterity some financial induce
ment must be offered the farm-bred
boy to follow his fathers occupation.
The North Atlantic States farmer
raises 1891 worth of prod ucts from
farms averaging 90 acres each The
south Atlantic States farmer raises
only $4Si worth Of produce on farms
averaging los acres The farmer Of
the North Central States raises $l074
worth Of products on farms averag-
ing lt4 acres, while the South Central
States farmer raises but $538 worth OF
produce on farms averaging I55 acres
each. These figures are Of the last
census year.
Therefore it is easily seen that the
farmer must learn intensive cultiva-
ton Of the soil and turn from the ex-
travngent methods Of the past. There
should be a fuller scheme Of public
education, but a new kind OF educa-
tion adapted To the real needs OF the
farming people.
To improve conditions that may at
tract the. large lpdy Of Americans who
turn from farm life every year, the
rural free delivery system must DO i'm
proved and extended states should
adopt more liberal policy for road
development and farmers should be-
educated up to the great advantages
which accrue to all members of the
household aud in fnct to the work OF
the farmer himself by the installation
OF "A telephone.
! In this latter respect it is not amiss
to mention the fact that the Western
, Electric Company, the largest manu-
iacturcs of telephones aud telephone
supplies in the country, through the
wide distribution Of its instructive
literature has done much good work in
educating the farmer up to the many
advantages Of this instrument.
! The question Of satisfying the farm
ers' needs Will continue to demand the
attention of all thoughtful men in the
country for some time to come. II Is
safe to say, however, that II will be-
some years before solution to the
problem will be found.

Burn down your towns and cities
and they will spring up again as II by
magic but destroy our farms and the
grass will grow in the streets of every
city in the land.
WILLIAM JENNiNGs BRYAN.
lf there is one lesson taught by his
tory, it is that the permanent great
ness Of any state must depend more
upon its country population than upon
anything else. No growth of cities,
no growth OF wealth can make mp for a
loss in either the number or character
of the farming population.
TuropoRE ROOSEVELT.
Thus the two leading exponents of
public life in America plead against
the migratory movement of the boys
and girls of the farm to the factories
and the cities. How to prevent this
movement has been a subject of study
by statesmen sociologists and political
economists for years but as factor
of national Importance it has meyer
before assumed the proportions il
reaches today.
Contrarily, every effort is being
made to induce residents of large
cities who are unable to get work to
seek employment on farms i'm the west
and the soutlv est Strange ~ il may
seem these people who, in great ma
jority Of cases are reduced to "A state
of dire poverty and distress refuse To
leave their crowded and filthy teue-
ments. which breed disease with every
succeeding day, for place where they
can satisfy their wants and breathe
the pure air of freedom.
The situation is a paradoxical one
and well worthy OF the great amount
OF attention being given IT, 1t may be
said. however, that efforts toward the
correction of this evil can hardly be
expected to meet with any marked
success for years to come.
Reasons for this are many Socio-
logsts may advise what action to take
to make the farm boy satisfied with
the calling they would force upon him
Statesmen may enact Legislative meas.
ures which would make that calling
more attractive but what can the,
offer the country boy which will max,
his life So promising financially as a
business career in the city?
The mistaken idea is prevalent that
the farm boy leaves his home becaus,
he is discontinued with his social en-
vironment, and that his country liz,
does not offer enough of amusement
in other words that he is dissatisiiet
with his home life, This is not true
The farm boy loves his home, its sur
roundings, loves his parents and i
causes him many heart aches to leav,
them; but he does leave becguee u,

New Theory
in Murder Case
Prosecuting Attorney Thinks Assail.
ant Of Van Royen Was One Ac-
qusinted with Premises.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct 22,-A corOner's
inquest over the bodies OF Alfonso Van
Royen. his wife ana her sister, Miss Rosa
Mcmahon, who were murdered on their
farm five miles west Of Kansas City, kan,
Wednesday last was begun today. No
arrests have been made.
The county authorities today are working
on a new theory which arises from the
fact that the Van Royen homestead Shove
no evidences Of a hurried search by the
murderer. though robbery is known to have
been committed.
9TH murderer was someone familiar with
the premises and acquainted with the fam
lily, ana not a tramp" said Prosecuting
Attorney Joseph Taggart today. II be-
lieve that the murderer. for there appears
to have been only one. first shot Van
Royen and then the women"
Patrick Mcmahon. brother OF the two
murdered women. testified before the cor
oner's jury that friction had existed for
some time between the Mcmahon family
and the Van Royens. due to the decision
of Van Royen to sell his farm and move
TO Colorado, a proceeding which met with
the ~disapproval Of Mrs Mehahon. mother
Of Mrs. Van Royen. The families a
gradually become estranged until lately
their relations had dwindled to mere Fecog-
milton OF each other.

The announcement from Laporte, Ind,
at the county clerk there had received
Instructions from the naturalization dt-
vision at Washington not to permit Turks

fact that the United states government
through the division OF naturalization, has
Just taken the ground that Asiaties are
not free white persons" and, therefore.
may not become citizens Of tho United
States. The federal act relating to natural
hatlon declares that THE provisions Of this
title shah apply TO aliens being free white
persona, and 10 aliens Of African nativity
and to persons of African descent" The
Language Is found in section 2l9 OF the
revised statutes OF the United States
! since the first nf July, when the division
Of naturalization began to enforce this new
Interpretation of the law strictly, many
Asiatics in various parts of the country
have made application for their first
naturalization papers and have been re-
fused In every case IN which the advice OF
the division Of naturalization has been
sought. In the southern states, and In
some OF the Pacific coast states, Asiatcs

the United States district attorneys, to
lawyers In private practice and to business
explaining the position his division has
taken.
1T seems to me that q great deal Of
confusion has arisen In egard to. the con-
struction to be placed on section Z16s. as
amended" said he, from the habit of
viewing 1t In the light Of the very modern
and very Inexact science OF ethnologY. If
We desire to know what the fathers
meant by white persons, we must revert TO
the state OF and popular under
standing at the time the statute was
drawn. and not attempt TO construe It in
the light OF s~o-called discoveries and
wholly artificial terms now In use, which.
l may say, are subjects OF dispute and
change among the ethnologists themselves.
The term white was not used 10 indicate
the shade OF the complexion so much as to
describe the variation OF domicile inc
origin. which are so closely associated
with the mental development of a people.
Within comparatively recent times the gem
eral teaching with regard to the races has
been broadly the same that 1t was in the
early days OF the Independence Of the
states.
Fathers DIVIDED ny COIOrs.
1T was then taught that there were four
races-white. yellow, red Nnd black. These
races, with some notifications, the largest
that OF the Hebrews, were confined within
certain geographical, limits. Thus the
whites were Europeans. the yellows were
Asiaties. the reds were Americans and the
hlacks were Africans. With One OF these
races the constitution dealt broadly by seq
reEating the Indian. maintaining his tribal
independence excluding him as an object
OF taxation and OF representation In con-
gress. With another one Of these races,
as the term race was understood in the
minds OF the educated men In that day,
the white race. or Europeans, the Law dealt
by making them all, when free, eligible TO
American citizenship. Thus as you know,
until after the conclusion Of the civil way.
only free white persons could be natural
ized-in other words, Europeans, and per-
sons OF Eurpean descent
After the war, and as a result thereof.
