actions solely by his own wishes, with
little consideration for the desires OF
others.
Gladys and Mabel attracted him be-
cause they were energetic and re-
sourceful far beyond any Of the girls
of his particular set. Their candid
criticism Of his faults annoyed him,
however-nOt that he could deny the
Justice Of the charges, but because 1t
was so much more comfortable not to
think about such things.
But they had set him to thinking,
nevertheless, and he couldn't put the
matter out Of his mind. 1t was In this
frame of mind that he had wandered

the imprisoned plea Of the attorney

Polish Fight for Life.

Al the session of the congress yester-
day evening DIR. K. A. Zurawski of Chi
cago president OF the arrangement COM
mittee Of the congress and a prominent
member of the National Polish Alliance,
made an address in English. in which he
reviewed the Polish question. The address
was frequently applauded, and is re-
garded as good summing up of the Pol
ish situation from the standpoint of the
alliance.
After reviewing the history of Poland
since its first partition. in 1872. through
the last armed struggle for independence
IN 1868. DIR. Zurawski continued:
after 1863 followed a long period Of
apathy in all three divisions of Poland
The least eventfuI, the least spectacular
but none the less stubborn, struggle goes
on in the German part of Poland There
the government attempts to denationalize
the Poles by economic means The schools
are made all German. The offices are
filed with Germans to the exclusion of
Poles, and an attempt is made to lessen
the native population by introducing the
German element. To foster that in 1885
an imperial colonization commission was
instituted to buy up the land from Polish
holders and sell it on payments to the
Germans. Up TO the present time the
German empire has sunk in this enter
prise SO, 100000 marks.
The Poles retaliated by starting similar
institutions Of their own, with the result
that Polish land-holdings today are II per

FAVORABLE TO CHANGES
IN BANKRUPTCY LAWS
Senate Committee Reports Bill Fix
ing Fees Of Receivers by Grad
uated Scale.

Incorporating important, though tech
nical, changes in the measure, the Senate
committee on judiciary today ordered q
favorable report on the House bill amend
ing the bankruptcy laws.
The bill is designed primarily to prevent
scandals in connection with the compen-
sation of receivers, and the Senate COM
mittee's bill fixes a graduated maximum
scale.
The compensation is based on the actual
cash received from the property of the
bankrupt-6 per cent for the first $500. 4
per cent for the next $1,000. per cent for
500 and I per cent for al amounts
above. In case the receiver has to con-
duct business pending the sale, the fees
are doubled In accordance with this scale
When the receiver is merely a custo-
dian--that is. is required only to lock a
door or place a Waterman in charge-his
compensation is to be per cent on the
first 81, 600 realized from the property and
u of 1 per cent.
There is also a provision which will
allow the receiver, on vote OF the cred
itors, to fight the discharge Of a bank
rupt by using the funds involved This
has not been allowed hitherto.

WOMAN TRYING TO SAVE

Rescue Little Girl From
Death.

NEW YORK, May 13.-Mrs. Celia
Rosenberg is dying as a result of ner
vain effort to save her three-year-old
daughter Freda from being run over and
killed by trolley car in the Williams
burg section of Brooklyn today. The
child was crushed to death before the
mothers eyes. The ear wheels severed
one OF Mrs. ROsenberg's legs above the
knee.
Little Freda started across the street
to buy a penny's worth Of ice cream. In
the center of the street car bore down
upon her The child stood paralyzed
with fear. The mother, who had stood
watching, was out in the street in an
instant. She seized the girl and tried
to drag her from the tracks. but was
too late, the car striking both of them.
A squad of police had its hands full In
protecting the mOtorman of the car from
the mob of excited residents o. the popu-
lous district. The motorman was finally
taken in safety to a station house, where
he was charged with homicide.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS TAX
IS SCORED BY ASSESSOR
Opinions of Experts Cited and Diff
hculties of Imposition Without
Adequate Machinery Set Forth.

Assessor Richards has written a strong
adverse report on the Nye bill for the
taxation of intangible assets If the Com
missioners can agree upon it, Congress
will receive that report, verbatim, late
this afternoon or tomorrow morning
There has been no attempt to mince
words or find delicate expressions in this
report, which will, the District officials
hope, leave no doubt in the minds of
those behind the bill just what the Dis
trict government thinks of the matter of
trying to assess intangible property. The
greatest tax authorities are quoted to
prove that this form of taxation is absurd
and unscientific.
The report will endeavor to show that,
even with. the laws that permit the
assessor to ask searching questions re-
garding such tangible and visible assets
as houses. lots, horses. wagons, furni-
ture, etc, the assessor has a hard time
getting correct assessment What,
then, would be the result. the report asks,
# the assessor is to be saddlea Win an
intangible asset assessment, with no PEN
atty attached for noncompliance, and
with no machinery provided to put the
assessment In working order.

Disagree Over Postmastership.

His assistant is w. Henry Hobson. MIR.
Coles, believing that Mr.. Ramsey has
held the Office long enough, and that ITS
benefits should be distributed, recon-
mended that Mr. Hobson be nominated
as postmaster.
The nomination would have gone
through, owing to the fact that the pat
ronage of the district goes to MI Coles,
except that Senator Overman heard of 1t
and put in an objection. Salisbury being
his home town he felt that he ought to
have something to say. Mr.. Hobson was

Other Measures Pressing.

The chief objection to the adoption of
a rule today was that the postal savings
bank and anti-injunction bills, which are
part Of President Tafts legislative pro-
gram, might be ready for consideration
at that time. and that they should have
right of way. 1t was decided that just
prior to disposition of the sundry civil
bill the committee shall meet and act on
the proposed rule. The effect Is to carry
the matter over until the end of the de-
bate on the sundry civil bill. which is
expected to last at least two weeks
longer.

Mr.. Moore Wins Out.

But even the legislative situation was
partly lost sight of today in the way Rep
resentative j. Hampton Moore put it
over Secretary Fred Carpenter. Some
weeks ago Mr.. Carpenter. upon the re-
quest of certain New England senator's,
agreed to have the President receive 500
excurslonistS from that part Of the coun-
try. When the President had shaken
hands VITA about LOO he asked the
there were in the party. They looked out
the windows and saw line extending far
out into Pennsylvania avenue. probably
1,oVo more, the President was told. He
promptly announced that he had too many
important engagements to go on, and
stopped the hanushaking process.
Mr.. Carpenter since then has refused to
make engagements for parties or Organi-
cations to shake hands with the Presi-
dent, limiting the bookings to small
parties of not more than a dozen Or fif
teen people. About 300 pupils of the grad
uating class OF the Philadelphia GirlS'
High School have been in the city several
days seeing the sights. They asked Mr..
Moore to get them audience with the
President. Mr.. Moore saw the President
yesterday on another matter and took
the opportunity to ask if the chief eX-
ecutive would give the Philadelphia girls
the glad hand. The President agreed. Mr..
Moore beamed all over and took the glad
news to Mr.. Carpenter to put down on his
little engagement book.
Mr.. Moore went to the White House
today with the girls and every mothers
daughter of them went away happy after
the hand-clasp and joyous smile of the
chief executive.
1t has leaked out today. though. that
nothing of this kind will happen again.
II could make engagements every day
in the week for 1,5OO to 1900 people to
shake hands with the President if l
granted all the requests i receive" said
Mr.. Carpenter. 1.-The President must have
some time for public business.
