PRIVATE HOMES FOR
DEPENDENT GIRLS

The first action for the relief of
the situation at the Girls Industrial
school at Delaware is hopeful II
has been taken by the state board
of charities and consists of the ap-
pointment of probation officer
whose business Il will be to find
homes for some of the girls at the
school. Further, juvenile courts, the
activity OF which has greatly in
creased the population of the school.
are requested to reduce their COM
mitments to a minimum, and the
construction of the additional cot
tages, authorized by the Legislature
is to be fastened. All OF these steps
are good and practical. The policy
of finding homes for the older girls
of the school is particularly to De
commended. II is adopted as a tenn
porary measure, but it might well
be permanent. The conviction is
growing that the real solution of
the problem lies, not so much in
gathering all the dependent girls un-
der one roof but in finding in pri-
vate families throughout the state
places where they may have the
care of good and sympathetic men
and women, and where the environ
ment of a real home may be as near
ly as possible produced.
AS temporary measure OF relief
this is unsurpassed. 1t is deserving
Of trial because out of 1t may ocme
policy of the highest value. Mucn
will depend upon the character, the
energy, the discretion and the SYM
pathy of the person who is chosen
as probation officer, for the homes
must be selected with great care. AS
for the Juvenile courts, they can
perhaps also, with the equipment at
hand, follow to some extent the same
policy.

SHAH FEARS RUSSIA
AND CHANGES ATTITUDE

Teheran, April 2C-The Shah has
consented TO an indefinite prolonga-
tion of the armistice ut Tabriz and
the entrance of unlimited supplies to
the city, which for a month has been
in state of siege, defended by 5000
nationalists or constitutionalists,
against 5000 soldiers of the shah
Many persons on both sides have
been killed and the inhabitants OF
the city have been reduced to abject
want
The generosity" of the shah Is as
scribed officially to be the result oI
negotiations with the besieged, but II
is believed to have been due to a fear
of Russian intervention. The an
nouncement that a Russian expedi-
tion under General Sparsky has left
Julia, on the frontier to restore or
der at Tabriz, has caused great un-
easiness among the nationalists

BIG HUNT
IS NOW ON
Roosevelt and Party Bag
First Game-Dangers of
Smallpox Slight.

Uairobi, British East Africa, April
26-lAfter a brief hunting expedition
last evening at Kapiti Plains, ex-
President Roosevelt and his party
broke camp and started for the ranch
OF Sir Alfred Pease, on the Athi riv-
er. Colonel Roosevelt spent part of
Saturday afternoon sorting his kit,
while Kermit and several OF the men
went to try their lmll with the rifles
An old settler, who seemed to take a
liking TO Kermit, offered to show
him a likely place for good shooting.
They succeeded in bringing down
one buck.
Colonel Roosevets first hunt was
favored by fine weather, and he en-
joyed the experience immensely. He
bagged two wildebeests and Thomp-
sons gazel!e. In one respect Mr..
Roosevelt was somewhat disappoint-
ed, as he had been anxious to Sc
cure a Grants gazell whose massive
horns are much sought after for
trophies. The hunt lasted several
hours, and all tired out the members
of the party returned to the camp.
Smallpox is prevalent at Nairobi
and two cases have developed among
the porters at Kapiti. These have
been quarantined and the strictest
precautions are being observed to
prevent spread OF the disease
among those attached to the Roose-
welt party, The danger of this is
now considered slight. The police
still maintain their measures for the
protection of the Americans from
annoyance. They will not permit
any except those designated by Col
onel Roosevelt to go with the expe-
dition. 1t has now been definitely
learned that none Of Mr. Roosevelt's
baggage Is missing and that nothing
has been stolen. Game was very
numerous on the plains.

reduce the rates on necessarles and
likewise the revenues from imports
on all such articles as to Offset the
collections that would be made upoh
incomes.
The trouble found with that sug-
gestioh is that It cannot be stated
now how much would be derived
from any income tax even IL the sup
porters of the idea could agree upon
the form 1t shall take. On that ac-
count the work of the house ways
and means committee and the senate
finance committee would be lost in
large part and the tariff bill would
have to be entirely reconstructed, all
of which would consume many
weeks.
Few of the most ardent supporters
of the income tax proposition are
willing to delay the adjournment of
congress in the face of the attitude
assumed by the president and the
protests that are pouring in upon
congress from commercial centers
against a prolonged discussion OF the
tariff Informal conferences have
been held within the past few days
at which has been considered plan
to reduce the various income tax to
a separate bill to be considered after
the tariff bill has been enacted. II
this plan should be followed that ac-
tion could not be held at the present
session, but II has been suggested
that as the bill would live through
the entire congress. committee
could be named TO gather data con-
cerning the possibilities of such
measure from a revenue point OF
view and submit this information at
the next session. In the meantime
tariff experts would be observing the
operations Of the new bill and ideas
Of just what is needed could be ascer-
tanned. Some decision upon this plan
will be reached in all probability
within the next fortnight.

FOR RECOVERY OF GIRL

disappeared last Friday afternoon.
This is $4,000 more than was at first
offered, and was announced as the
mystery continues unsoived
When the tired father gave up the
iruitlesi search a friend of the
family announced that all had de-
elded that II was a case of kidnap-
ing. Although he declined TO say
why this conclusion had been reach
ed, he says he believed the family
will hear from the kidnapers before

Disagreeable Facts

Dun's Review dated April IL, 1909,
reporting the latest gross earnings
of 56 of the trunk lines of the
country, shows that the gross earn
ings Tor 190S-9 to present date is
SlS9,634,24i. During the same period
in l0O7-S the gross earnings were
$l99, ,98l 1923, so that there is a fall
ing off of over 100000 900, showing
very plainly that times are getting
worse instead Of better.
Remember that last year was the
worst for the railroads since 1896,
and this year Is worse.
Dun's Review, Bradstreet the Wall
Street Journal and al the financial
reviews speak in an apologize tone
and keep whistling to keep up their
courage.
The failures for each week are
keeping up very near to the 1908
mark.
In 1908 the total failures amounted
to 1922 900 900; in 1896 the total
was s226OO0 900; in 1895 dt was
$l74.00O,OO0; in 1894 1t was $l73 ,OOO,-
600, so that 1908 was almost up to
1896 and way ahead OF 1894 and 1895.
These are disagreeable facts. AS

SITUATION UNPARALLELED

The situation of the people along
the lower Niagara river has probably
never been paralelled in this country
before. The whole mouth of the riv
er has been blocked up by an ice
jam and the river has risen from 60
to so feet Fortunately the lower
river flows through a gorge most of
the way that will permit a pretty
high rise without tHe overflow of a
large section of the country. Then
too the main current of the stream
has bored a course through the ice
and the high water is kept down
very largely because OF this. But
the property owners are not worry
ing so much over the rise of the
water as over it's fall In what man
ner will it go down. If the ice mass
gives away suddenly the land that
has been overflowed will be simply
carried away in the terrific rush OF
the waters BY the river sinking
gradually the land would not be
seriously harmed. Niagara has done
some queer stunts this year.

ALTAR IS
BLOWN UP
Bomb Explosion in New Or
lsans Church-ItAlian
Workmen Blamed.

New Orleans, April 2G-The famous
old st. Louis cathedral in Chartres
street was shaken Sunday afternoon
by an explosion believed to have re-
suited from the placing OF bomb in
the south tower of the building. The
explosion, heard for many blocks aad
creating wild excitement in that SEQ
tion of the city, occurred at about
2:30 o'clock, when the church was
practically empty of worshippers. A
priest, woman and child were the
only occupants OF the building at the
time, and none was injured.
One of the smaller altars In tho
front OF the church was wrecked,
handsome glass windows were brok.
en- and quantity of plastering dis.
lodged. The damage amounts to
about $1,000.
A riot call was at once sent IL TO
the first precinct police station and
several score of detectives and police
men were hurried to the scene. A
number of arrests followed.
The police express the belief thar
dissentions among some of a party of
Italian workmen engaged In making
repairs in the south tower of the
church was responsible for the explo-
sion. 1t is claimed that charge OF
dynamite or some high explosive was
placed where it was thought II would
send into eternity certain workmen
against whom the enmity OF the per-
petrators existed, and that mlscal-
culation as to the time of the explo-
sion was made
Had the explosion occurred two or
three hours earlier, when the church
was thronged with worshippers.
stampede with fatal results would al
most certainly have followed.
The st. Louis cathedral is one Of
the most famous Catholic churches
in the United States. II is beautiful
in design and workmanship and one
of the most spacious edlfces of the
kind in this section. 1t was built
more than 100 years ago. during the
Spanish regime in Louisiana.

PROFANITY IN BOYS

1t Is a regrettable fact that profan-
ity has become common among the
boys 1t Is not In the least out OF
the ordinary, where a group of boys
of 10 to 15 years is together upon
the streets or in any open space To
play game of ball, to hear them
using oaths that might suit the
tongues OF the proverDial fshwife or
costermonger. but which are shock
ing falling from the tongues of child
rem of tender years. or all STUPID
and silly vices, profanity is one of
the worst and most abominable. A
simple statement of fact is much
stronger than any statement EN-
bellished with swearwords, and no
lie is made any the more belieyable
by being framed in profanity In
fact, both truth and falsehood are
weakened by swearing and taking
the Lords name in vain. Foul
epithets and comparisons are not
convincing, but are alm,s invariably
disgusting, except to those making
use of them. Profanity among men
seems to be. growing less and less,
at least in public places and among
those who may lay claim to decency
anu some education But the habit
seems to have firmly fixed itself
upon a great many of the boys, who
may imagine II mannish to use pro-
family and smoke cigarets-S
