While this outlay does not make a coll

which it is intended.
There are volumes among 1t. neverthe-

among things worth reading. These are
bound numbers Of several different
papers which were edited by Washington
men many years ago. Most of them
contain the first issue of the paper and
Orphans Advocate. published in 1866;
the Washington Literary Gazette, be.
gun about 1884; The Battery, a weekly
publication edited by George 8. Gideon.
This little paper dealt with army af-
fairs. and each copy bore a picture SYM
bolic Of It's contents. 1t was first pub
lshed in 1913. The National Register,
a weekly. containing important public
documents and the proceedings of Con-
gress, was edited by Joel X. Mead. and
was started as early as 1916. the volume
in the collection being the number for
1918, however.
The collection Of Congressional direc-
tories forms an interesting feature, espe-
cially in older numbers, which give the
boarding houses OF the senators and
members. A book containing maps OF

While the collection Is long way from

it is in its infancy, there Is a goodly ar

however, who can persuade DR.. Bower

nation will be welcome.
OF histories and accounts Of the social
life Of the National Capital the collec-
ton contains several. What forms one
of the most unique features OF this sec
ton, and one whose value is not at first
apparent. is the collection of old direc-
tories and telephone books. The direc-
tories start with the one published in
1872 and continue to the latest one Is
sued. The value of these can best be
realized by taking a peep at the first
one. This, it must be said. is but fac

under lock and key. At any rate. 1t
serves the purpose. From its diminutive
size the number of Inhabitants is estimat-
ed as rather small The quaint manner
of wording is apparent from the begin
ming, and In giving the addresses the lack
OF preSent-day numbering and lettering
of the streets is also seen. This little
volume serves more as a curiosity than
anything else, but Dr. BOWerman be-
lieves that these directories will serve
as means OF ascertaining the name. ad-
dress and occupation Of an Individual in
later years. The telephone books are
valuable Tor the same reason.

GREAT CONDUIT
BREAKS RECORD
LARGEST PIPE LINE BUILT BY
LOS ANGELES
Engineering World Astonished by a
Work EcIipsing That of Cow
ernment Reclamation
Service

The largest concrete pipe line in the
world in diameter is being built as
part of the Owens river aqueduct one
and one-half miles southeast of New
hall near the Southern Pacific railroad
tracks.
Hitherto the government reclama-
ton. service has been the pioneer in
the construction of the biggest pipe
lines in the country, but Los Angeles
has broken the record and astonished
the engineering world.
1t has not been decided to what
length the pipe will be built. So far
it has been constructed a distance Of
9OS feet. The thickness is nine inches
reinforced by steel bars three and one
quarter inches thick and spaced four
inches from each other. When COM
pleted it is said it will carry 100000
gallons OF water in twentyfour hours.
1t is expected the line will be COM
pleted within sixteen months when it
will be inspected by the aqueduct en-
gineers. The pipe is being constructed
piece by piece on the grounds. 1t is
known as the Whitney siphon pipe. o.
P. Cox, construction superintendent of
the aQueduct work, formerly Of the
Boston aqueduct, is experimenting the
building of the pipe.

GEARIN PLEADS
FOR HERMANN
BRANDS CONSPIRACY STORY
AS FABRICATION
OUTCOME OF TRIAL DEPENDS ON
MELDRUM'S EVIDENCE
Testimony Of Clerk in General Land
Office Describing Fraudulent
Methods of Spectators AL
legged to Be Unreliable
ASSOCIATED Pressl


PORTLAND, Ore. Feb. 10-Former
United States Senator John M. Gearin
made the opening plea today for the
acquittal of former Congressman
Binger Hermann on the charge of con-
spiracy to defraud the government of
public lands Attorney Gearin, whose
reputation as a speaker is widespread,
attracted almost as many spectators
to the federal court room as did Fran
els J. Heney yesterday.
Attorney Gearin urged the jury to
try to keep the issue before them
clear. He said the charge is conspir-
acv to defraud, not for wanting to be
United States senator. He declared
the Blue mountain reserve was an old
proposition when in 1901 the govern
ment alleges the conspiracy was
formed.
AS Prosecutor Heney did yesterday,
Gearin today declared the whole fabric
of the case stands or falls according
to the truth or falsity of the evidence
of Henry Meldrum, former surveyor
general of Oregon.
Meldrum testified conspiracy had
been formed between Hermann and
Mays in his office in September, 1901.
The speaker went on at great length
to elaborate his assertion that Mel
drum had fabricated the conspiracy
story he related in his evidence.
Testimony Branded Unreliable
Gearin branded as unreliable the tes-
timony of Walk, the general land Of
flee clerk, who testified to giving Her
mann the so-called Citizen letter in
1900, which described the fraudulent
methods of western land speculators
Col. Worthington followed Senator
Gearin, beginning the final plea for
Hermann.
Taking up the Meldrum testimony
the lawyer said: This man has served
a term in prison. He is under two in
dictments now for misconduct in Of
flee. He realized if he testified diff
ferently in the present case than he
did at the washington case he faced
the additional danger of being tried
for perjury. What greater reason
could he have had for testifying as
he did?"
Col. Worthington will conclude his
argument tomorrow and will be fol-
lowed by Francis J. Heney in the clos
ing argument for the prosecution.
The case probably will reach the jury
Saturday.

APPEALS TO AID
WOMEN SLAVES
U. S. MINISTER CALHOUN DE-
N0UNCES LAW
LONG HOURS WORK DECLARED
TO BE BARBARoUS
Diplomat in State Supreme Court of
Illinois Wants Law Limiting
Time of Labor Up
held
Associated Press1


SPRINGFIELD ILL.,, Feb. 10-WiI-
liam j. Calhoun, United States min
lister to China, appeared before the
supreme court of Illinois today in an
appeal to have that body overruIe a
decision bearing on the ten-hour law
for women.
Judge Tuthill last July held the law
limiting the working day to ten hours
unconstitutional on the ground that it
infringes on woman's right to contract
for the hire of her labor.
Minister Calhoun was one of the
large number of Chicago men and
women opposing the decision who ap-
peared before the supreme court
The ministtr to China told the court
that he would confine his address to
a single phase of the case-its human
itarian or common sense side.
II am not a Radical or a Socialist
or an Anarchist" he said, "and L
don't even belong to the so-called up
lift movement of which we have heard
so much recently. But l do take suf-
ficient notice of some of the abuses
which exist in this highly and arti-
ficially developed civilization of ours
and which call aloud for correction.
I'm the doctrine of freedom of con-
tract there is more of fiction than
morality. When men and women are
dependent on their daily wages; when
they are fade to face with poverty
all the time, when the loss of a days
work and a days wage means not
enough money to pay rent, or not
enough to buy food, it is not fair it
is not common sense, to say that they
enjoy any freedom of contract for the
sale of their labor.
Necessity compeIs
"Many women in their struggles for
food and shelter, yes, and for life
itself, are willing-even eager-to work
long hours every day in every week
in the year. year in and year out, until
their bodies break under the strain.
But the wishes of such women
should not be allowed to initiate
against the welfare of womankind and
of mankind in general.
"When a woman, be she maid or
mother has worked in a factory ten
long hours she has toiled the limit the
laws of this country should allow.
But should the selfish desire of
few men to sell more goods, to grind
out more orders, be allowed to stifie
the needful demand of maidenhood and
of mothcrhood?"
States Attorney Wayman of Chicago,
who also asked the supreme court to
set aside the ruling of Judge Tuthill,
declared that the legislature should
have the power to protect human De-
ings as it has the power to protect
animals.
"The legislature, we are told, has no
right to protect women from the neces-
sity of being forced to work twenty
four hours a day." he said. "Yet it
can protect quail and grouse and
prairie chickens. 1t is an absurd legal
proposition"
Attorney Hainie, representing the
Illinois Manufacturers association,
argued for upholding the decision or
Judge Tuthill.
