LABOR LEADERS CONFER.
Notable Gathering at Washington to
Discuss Vital Questions.

N otable Gathering at Washington 10
Discuss Vital Questions.
Washington. Feb. 10.--To the list or
notable conferences initiated by the
present administration for the consld-
Grafton of questions of great pubic
concern another was added today,
when the council of labor assembled
for it's first meeting at the department.
of commerce and labor to discuss
questions of vital moment to the wage
earners of the country.
The problem of the unemployed, anu
how, and to what extent. the division
of information, in the department d
commerce and labor, can be most help
full to that class, especially during per-
iods of depression, is probably the most
important matter to receive the atten-
ton of the conference. In the same
connection the general subject of M
migration is to be discussed In all lts
phases. Other questions to figure In the
councils deliberations include the adj
visibility of legislation extending the
steamboat inspection service to include
the inspection Of locomotive boilers on
interstate railroads and how the III
vision of information of the depart
ment of commerce and labor may be
administered for the best interest Of
wage earners generally.
Among the prominent labor leaders
invited to the conference, and the most
of whom responded to the invitation
were Samuel Gompers, president OF the
American Federation of Labor; Warren
S. Stone grand chief of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers; w. S.
Carter. grand master of the Brother
hood OF Railroad Trainmen; Frank l.
Hawley, president of the aSwitchmea $
Union Of North America; T. L. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Workers;
James M. Lynch, president Of the In
ternational Typographical Union;
George w. Perkins, president of the
Cigarmakers' International Union. and

fairs of A. Booth g. CO., which have &C.

night After an all day session the
bankers creditors committee, repre-
senting the banks which hold the bulk
Of the claims against the big fish cor

over the assets and organize a new
company. Stockholders Of the present
company were not represented at the
meeting.
Organization of new corporation
means the elimination of stockholders
of the present corporation unless they
choose to invest new capital in the new
company.
Attic definite plans for the organi-
zation of the new company have been
left to be worked out by the attorneys
of the committee, three plans were dis
cussed, one of which probably will be
adopted. Either the new company will
be capitalized on small basis, with a
straight capital stock to represent the
present approximate Indebtedness Of
$500, 900; or it viii he capitalized on
time notes or bonds; or basis of par
ticipation certificates, similar to- that
adopted by the Chicago Railways
Company, will be used.
The presidency of the new company
was not determined upon altho it is
regarded as probable that w. j. Chal-
mers, at present receiver for A. Booth
& Co, will be the directing head.

II Was a Strange Mans Voice.

Winter enjoyed game more exciting
and deadly than Penelope's Web. Mrs.
Millicent Winter and the younger
people found the days full OF joyous
business. The household had fallen
into normal ways Of living. Although
the secret patrol watched every rod
Of approach to the house, the espial
was so unobtrusive that guests came
and went tradesmenf ratified over the
driveways; the policemen, themselves,
slumbered by day and loitered majes-
tically by night without the Casa
Fuerte portals, never suspecting. Lit
tie Birdsall had his admirable points;
they were now in evidence. To all
outward seeming, a pleasant house
party was enjoying the lavish Cali.
fornian hospitality Of Casa Fuerte;
and black care was bundled on to the
closet of the family skeleton, accord
ing to the tradition of mannerly peo.
pie. Arnold had opened his garage
and his stables. There was bridge of
an evening; and the billiard balls
clinked on the pool table. Archie
could now back the electric motor into
almost any predicament. The new
Chinese chef was wonder and Tracy
was initiating him into the possibili-
ties of the Fireless, despite modest
shrinking on the part OF the Oriental
artist who considered it to be new
kind of bomb.
Millicent, encouraged by Arnold,
had had Mrs Wigglesworth and two
errant daughters, whose husbands

the versatile Kito donning a chauf-
feur's livery and motoring them back
to the city in the limousine, on both
occasions; all of which redounded to
Millicent's own proper glory and state.
Indeed, about this time, Millicent
was in high good humor with her
world. Even Janet Smith was no
longer politely obliterated as "the
nurse" but became "our dear Miss
Janet" and was presented with, two
of Mrs. Melville's last years Christ

 A return compiled by the board of trade gives the number of lives lost by wreck, drowning or other ac- cidents in British seagoing merchant ships registered in the United King dom during the years 1891 to. 1908 inclusive. When a similar return, covering the period 1891 to 1907, was circulated. the figures were used to show that the deeper loading of mer- chant ships sanctioned by the load line regulations of 1906 was not the danger it was in some quarters held to be. The new statistics are just as conclusive on the point, although, obviously, there are other clements of the whole problem that cannot be ignored.

RUTHERFORD B. HAYES.
His High Character and Fine Sense
 of Honor.

Hayes was an Ohio man, and we in Ohio now watched his successive steps with keen interest. We knew him as a man of high character, with Q fine sense Of honor, but we placed no great faith in his ability. He had added to his reputation by the pOliti- cal campaign that he had made for governor in 1875. against the demo- crats under William Allen, who de- manded an imitation of the greenback currency He took an uncomprOmis- ing stand for sound money, although that cause was unpopular in Ohio, and f1e spoke from the stump un- remittingly and fearlessly. although overshadowed by the greater ability and power of expression of Senator Sherman and of Carl Schurz. who did yeoman's service for the republicans in this campaign. Senator Sherman had suggested Hayes as a candidate for president, and the nomination by the republican national convention had come to him in June, 1876.
 While his letter of acceptance may not have surprised his intimate friends, it was a revelation to most of us from its outspoken and com mon sense advocacy of civil service reform. and it gave us the first glimmering that in Rutherford B. the republicans had for standard bearer a man of more than respectable ability.
 His inaugural address confirmed this impression. He spoke with dig nifty and sympathy of the disputed presidency, promised liberal policy toward the southern states, and de- clared that reform in our civil serv- ice was a paramount necessity" He chose for his cabinet men in sym pathy with his high ideals.-From James Ford Rhodes "A Review of President Hayes Administration" in the October Century.

Jim BeCkWOurth

Written for the Denver Republican, old Jim Beckwourth once was young As strange as the same may seem, And his ups and downs with fortunes
 frowhs Were wild as an opium dream: Half French, half Afric, Tartar
 'straight, And a stanch Missourian he, A trapper, scrapper, hunter, scout, And man of variety Came west in boyhood seeking change Fell in with a tribe of Crows; He was shrewd and bright with a
 head set right. And the Crows had a host of foes; Their need was a leader brave and
 quick, So Beckwourth chief was he; Half black, half white and an In-
 dian knight And lord of variety. With tactics grand he led his band To many a scalp dance proud; -rapahoes, Cheyennes and Crows Neie ever d JdHSllnS CTOWu, But he left their wars for our Uncle
 Sams, And secuted valiantly For troop and train over hill and
 plain In quest of variety. He welded a Mexic maid as fair As a dark De Rohan rose; This white man, black man, red chief
 man Was one of the true-blue beaux. Missourfs own, he had to be shown In a fight or a gabfest free; He'd carry the day in a princely way; And eke with variety. The pen-men write him white or
 black And opposite tales they tell, Till round this city-founder's" name Clash history's hosts pell-mell: But that he was heady, ready. brave. And wonderful. all agree: And well We know he was Chief Jim

Professor Unna of Hamburg. Ger many, and Dr. Sabourand. the leading French dermatologist. discovered that microbe causes badness. Their the ory has time and again been amply verified through research experiments carried on under the observation of eminent scientists. This microbe lodges in the sebur which is the nat ural hair oil. and when permitted to flourish it destroys the hair foilicles and in time the pores entirely close, and the scalp gradually takes on q shiny appearance. When this happens there is no hope of the growth O. hair being revived.

GOOD For MIR. TAFT.

The tariff speech of President Taft
at Winona, Mimi, has settled the
position of the head of this govern
ment on the new tariff bill. His
bold statement that in his opinion 1t
is the best tariff bill ever passed and
that the Republican members OF
congress who voted against the bill
are recreant to their trust is n ac-
cordance with good sense. The Re-
publican party ought to be proud
that It has a president with backbone
and everyday horse sense. The in
surgents" who are bowling for DEM
ocratIc tariff ideas deserve no COM
mendation from Republicans.
AS Mr.. Taft says: ITO make party
government effective the members
Of that party should surrender their
personal predictions Of comparative
less Importance. l am not here to
criticise those who felt SO strongly
and believed so intensely that it was
their duty to vote against the tariff
bill, because it did not contain all
they thought 1t should. 1t was
question for each man to settle for
himself. In matters of this kind 1t is
a question with the party represen-
tative whether he shall help maintain
the party solidarity for accomplish
ing It's chief purposes, or whether the
departure from principle in the bill,
as he regards It, is SO extreme that

sides way back. The first one who
came here was house wright

ested in genealogy had a great deal
to explain in telling how 1t was that
when this carpenter signed his will
he signed 1t with cross. He always
said he had hurt his hand with a

1t with the pencil. But his wife,
