ALI WORLD MAY
 TALK ESPERANTO
Representative Cushman' s Fla
 nous Bill Is Recalled
CANNON STILL POPULAR
President Taft May Recommend the Passage Of n Bill Giving United States Central over Large
 Insurance Companies
By RoDERIck CLIFFORD

Washington, September 3.-(Special) J. Now it is Esperanto, and the earnest advocates of this new-old universal lan- guage are telling the people, through the press of the country, that the entering wedge having been driven 1t will be but short time until Esperanto will be taught In the public and private schools of the United States.
 A veteran employe of the House of Rep resentatives, who attended the Esperanto congress recently held here. said, in com menting on the subject of universal lan- guage:
 "Old Rip Van Wrinkle said a mighty true thing when he remarked: How soon we are forgotten when We are gone The late Representative Francis w Cushman of Washington was a firm be- liever in universal language. About ten years ago when 'Volapuk' was sug- gested as a universal language and its advantages discussed pro and con, he introduced in the House a bill to pro- mote a conference to formulate a uni versal language. The bill was referred to the committee on foreign affairs, and
 
 bers, but 1t was never reported to the House.
 "The bill was drawn up on right lnes and was calculated to accomplish it's purpose. It authorized the President to invite the nations of the world to join in conference for the purpose of formu- lating an alphabet of written and printed characters to represent the elementary sounds of the human voice, and an alpha bet to be adopted to the use of all Ian guages. The conference was to be held In this city October 1, 1902, in a room selected for the purpose by the secre- tary of the Senate.
 'The President was authorized and di- rected to appoint eight citizens of the United States, distinguished as scholars, to be delegates on the part of the United States at the international conference They were to serve without pay. The Cushman bill also provided that each na, ton should be entitled to one delegate for each 100000 of it's population and each independent nation to one delegate
 Representative Cushman," concluded the veteran employe, twas subjected to much good-natured raillery, and some of his colleagues styled him 'Voiapuk Cush- man. That's all right, fellows Cush- man would retort, my bill may die in committee. but the subject won't die; may not live to see it, but the time will come when we shall have universal language "

with recent assaults on party leaders
