 Gloucester, Mass, July @-"Any lor- mai statements of our plans would pc premature, as we have met today only for an informal discussion or the pos abilities of the plan to establish cotton warehouses" was the reply that Messrs. Hammond, Sully and Dalgleish made to- night. when asked concerning the re- suits of their conference today.
 The conferees wished to make 1t plain that their object in considering such n,an WAS not to corner cotton. but to help the cotton grower Should their nlan become consummated, they salo' thev hoped to bring about the standardi- zation of cotton and to assist the grower in selecting the proper seeds
 No definite steps were taken today ana nrobably none will be taken Tor some time the men declared. Messrs. Suly ona Dalg,eish left tonight for Boston.
 New Orleans Is Interested

 The fact that such movement lhaueu, rated several years ago by the Nationai Earmers union is already well unoer way with tentative plans made TOT the erection of several large warehouses oi the kind at leading cotton centers VIII probably influence very largely southern cotton interests In their views concerning the Boston organization.
 Receiving hearty legislative support Tn southern states the so-called public ware house idea advanced by the Farmers union and other fnanciers of the cotton trade has now reached point or near realization.
 It is planned to establish warehouses in Houston, Memphis, New Orleans and other cities.
 Al the recent session of the Louisiana general assembly a resolution was adopt ed proyiding for the submission of con- stitutional amendment for the issuance of bonds to establish a public warehouse at New Orleans.
 It is proposed under the terms of the measure to issue negotiable receipts to farmers storing their cotton in the ware houses.

Chicago, Oct. 4.-Robert T. Sweeney,
formerly a mail carrier, pleaded guilty
in the federal court yesterday to the
charge of having stolen $4,000 worth
of notes from the mails. A short time
later he was placed on the witness
stand and turned states evidence
against Attorney Shedrick r. Turner, a
negro, the editor of a weekly paper.
Turner is charged with having pos
session of the stolen notes and trying
to dispose of them. The notes belong
to a manufacturing company. and were
stolen from the mails June IS, 1910.
Sweeney swore on the stand that he
gave $4,000 of the notes to Turner to
sell and burned the remainder of them.
All of the stolen notes except those
that Sweeney destroyed by fire have

wOMAN's NIGHT COURT.
| Shows 446 Arrested for Disorderly
Conduct in New York.

New York, Oct 4.-The first report
on the work of the woman's night
court. esta blished in New York a
month ago, shows that the number of
women arrested during the month for
disorderly conduct was 446. OF this
number, 263 were convicted and sem
fenced
Under the law governing the court,
a finger print record of all the women
convicted has been taken Fifty-three
of the total number arrested were sub
jected to medical examination and
forty of these were sent to the hospital
ward on Blackwelfs Island to serve
out their sentence.
All the suffrage organizations of the
city are preparing to fight the medical
examination feature of the law and
representative club women will go TO
Albany this winter to urge its repeal.
The courts report shows that three out
of every five medical examinations be-
come hospital cases. This the defend
ers of the court point to in justification
of its existence; also the fact that the
number of arrests for the month
shows a decrease over a year ago of
60 per cent.

New York, Oct. 4.-"The women of

This upset of ordinary ideas was

'And it's absolutely the worst thing
that could happen to America" Dr.
Hancock continued holly. Even now
the very foundations of the race are be

our women. The standard of physical
resistance is dropping continually low

result of our unnaturally worked wives
and mothers.

Says Things Have Always Gone

New York, Oct. .-Midshipman
Godfrey Chevalier, the hero of the
Atlantic fleets disaster last Saturday
night, when more than a score of the
battleship New Hampshire's sailors
were lost through the swapping of a
barge, has just been released from the
care of surgeons. He nearly persisted
from exhaustion after rescuing a
dozen or more imperilled sailors. Even
in the light of his own heroic con-
duct. Chevalier does not regard the
affair with any degree of satisfaction.
1T seems as if l have always been
friends who went aboard the New
Hampshire to congratulate him on the
part he played in the work of rescue.
There was a haZing matter at
Annapolis in my plebe year, when
everybody in the upper classes thought
I had peached on the upper classmen.
Other things followed one another so
that L thought 1 was hoodooed for
fair.
Then for a while it seemed as if
had a little luck. Things were going
pretty well. But two months ago, at

turned up again. l was out in a cut

me to talk about
lone of the striking features of the
tragedy, at least to landsmen, has been
the revelation that so many sailors,

There is nothing in the regula-

OF Cave DWeller When

LIKE LITTLE SAVAGE.
His Love for Adventure and a
Mix Up"
Must Gain His Confidence
Through These Channels.

Chicago, Oct. 4.-If you want to ap-
peal to boy you must cultivate his
gang"
This is the conclusion of Prof. Allan
Hoben, of the University of Chicago,
after an exhaustive study of the sub
ject, boy" He told an audience at
the Fullerton Avenue Presbyterian
church his ideas about the topic last
night when he gave an address on
Biology and the Boy Nature
Prof. Hoben has reached the conclu-
sion that boy in the stages between
u and 10 years has instincts as prmi-
tive as those of the cave dwellers. His
reasons are:
The boys love for his gang
His love for 'Vagrancy," which the
speaker included under the heading of
wandering and the boys love for ad-
venture.
test summer days.
His love for physical exertion and
for mix up" amy old time"
THE animal instinct in a boy is like
that in a little savage" declared the
professor. L have made investiga-
lions in South side districts of this city
and discovered that gangs existed on
an average of one in every two blocks
The time has come when we must
take cognizance of this gang spirit If
we hope to win the boys confidence.
We must appeal to him through his
gang. In several instances where
we gained the confidence of the gang we
organized athletic clubs, and in this
way we appealed to the love of the boy
for physical eXertion. Through this
agency we could teach the boys of
higher things. It is almost impossi-
BILE to convert the individual boy. When
you convert him you must convert his
entire gang.
