Grand Jury Count in Baltimore
Blow to Democrats.

Special Correspondence OF The Star
BALTIMORE. Md. September 80. 1911 F.
The democratic party in this city is in
sore straits result of the grand jury
investigation of the recent primary. Each
day sees a recount of ballots and the re-
suit is always the same-additional evil
dence of fraud in the count. Already
over half a hundred judges and clerks oc
election under Indictment, and the
end is not by any means in sight The
grand jury has made it plain that the
probe will he used to the limit and that
the men higher up who are responsible
for the fraudulent returns shall be
brought to the bar of justice.
The refusal of Gov. Crothers to call
an extra session of the legislature in or
der to allow that body to make the re-
count and the order signed by Judge
Duffy of the supreme bench. placing
jurisdiction of all the ballot boxes used
i'm the primary in the hands of the grand
jury, has spread terror among the pol
iticians, big and small, and it is reported
that q number of ''ringSters are pre-
pairing to leave the city before further
revelations are made.

SURE Of LEGISLATION
FOR RETIRING CLERKS
M. F. 0'Donoghue Tells of the
Sentiment He Found on
Western Trip.

Confident that Congress will enact a
law providing for a retirement system
for the civil employees of the federal gov
eminent, M. F. O'Donoghue. president of
the United States Civil Service Retire
nfent Association, has just returned to
Washington from the west where he ad-
dressed several meetings of government
employees on this subject Mr.. ODonoghue
attended the convention of the Rural Let
ter Carriers Association in Milwaukee
He found the. members heartily in favor
of retirement system.
almost to a man they favored a
straight pension plan" said Mr.
O'Donoghue, distinguishing that plan
from a contributory system. The con-
vention passed a resolution favoring such
a retirement plan.
At meeting of the federal employees
in Milwaukee Mr. O'DonOghue also made
an address on the subject of civil service
retirement. He declared the government
employees there were enthusiastic over the
proposition. On his way back to WASH
ington. he stopped in Chicago and ad-
dressed meeting of a large number of
the federal governments employees there
in the drill hall of the Masonic organiZa-
tions. The Cook county branch of the
United States Civil Service Retirement
Favors Straight Pension Plan.
Mr.. O'Donoghue believes in a straight
pension plan as opposed to a retirement
system which calls for contributions from
the clerks.
The army and navy have the straight
pension on retirement said Mr.. ODono-
ghue, land there is no reason why the
government should deviate from this
judges are also retired on a straight pen
lieve that such a plan would be more
economical for the government Eff
Gent men would stay in the service,
whereas, If man found that he could
retire from the service after he had saved
up $1,000 or more his contribution to
money with him, he might readily find
some excuse to leave the government
service, just when the government need
ed his services the most.
There are employees of the navy and
army who are retired on three-guarter;
pay after serving thirty years who never
saw actual service in the ranks and
never could. I refer to men in those di-
visions of the service who never go to
the front. ! am not saying this because
/ would take the pension away from
them, but because L believe that the civil
employees are entitled to a pension just as
much as the army and navy men.
Il feel sure that the next session of
Congress will enact a law for the retire
ment Of superanuated clerks. Speaker
Clark of the House and Representative
Mann leader of the minority in the
House, have both gone on record as ia
voring the PLAN"

to the late Morton Marye; Paul Garrett
of Leesburg, Loudoun county, and Harry

clined to make known his decision, and
has not yet announced that he is In the

Troops to Attend Trial.

State troops will have to be detailed
to attend the murder trial of Ben Hubbard,
alias Cray Ben which is set for trial
at Lovington, Nelson county, Friday, DC
tober 6. The man is charged with the
murder of DR.. j. A. Petit, one OF the
best known physicians OF that section
of the state The killing took place last
Monday and was about as cOldblooded
an affair as has been recorded for a long
time-the work Of a lunatic.
Hubbard is a sort of ne'er-do-well. the
son of a good citizen, who imagined that
Dr. Petit was responsible for the ostra-
cism which followed his marriage to q
Mexican woman some ten years Or more
ago. Hubbard held ali Of his bad luck
against DR.. Petit. When the woman was

and she was attended. The woman's life
was saved, and that seemed to anger
the husband. and since that time he has
been harboring grudge against the
physician. He is in jail in the city of
Lynchburg and Will have 10 be taken to
court the coming week. There is intense
feeling against Hubbard, and it was sheer
good luck which enabled the sheriff and
the guards to get him away from a party
which started out to lynch him. The
Lynchburg command will doubtless be
detailed to protect the man from violence
There is no question that the man is in
sane.

DEPOSITS FROM 118
Postal Savings Bank Makes
Good Start.
Mr.. HITCHCOCK PLEASED
Postmaster General Confident That
Institution Is Going to Be
Well Patronized.

When the Washington postal savings
depository, which opened its doors for
the first time yesterday morning, closed
at = o'clock in the afternoon. with "A first
days record of us depositors, 81, 400 in de-
posits, twenty postal savings cards sold.
and seventeen savings stamps disposed of.
Postmaster Merritt felt that he had APP
propriately celebrated the first anniver-
sary of his term as postmaster of Wash
inston.
You know" he said. that while we
had but lis depositors. we issued 146 GER
tificates of deposit That means that some
OF the depositors came back for more
certificates.
There is another thing, he said,
which was especially pleasing, and that
is that our first days receipts came from
our own people, rather than from foreiSn-
ers. Not that we do not want the for
eigners' deposits. but ii pleased me to seee
that our own people of the better class
are now, and will be, our chief patrons

Some Old Money Received.

There was some time-worn money re-
ceived. Some Of it looked as if 1t had
seen service in secret hiding places. 1t
did not have the bright. crisp, green
appearance of the average Washington
currency, and some of the silver that
came through the wicket bore dates back
of the sos. But it was all good money
and much Of it gave evidence of having
been well cared for
1t is believed that tomorrow's deposit
ors and deposits will show big increase
over yesterdays, because then funds
from monthly and weekly pay days will
be available. 1t has been the experience
in other places when the money is in
hand many like to try the new habit of
saving who never saved before. This, it
is thought, is especially likely to happen
here. The Postmaster General firmly
believes the new repositories are going
to work a wonderful change In American
thrift. not all at once, perhaps, but
gradually, and when the change comes
the country will feel it in a more wide
spread prosperity.

Men in Majority.

And it was a goodly class of people who
made the deposits Not the rich with
their plenty, but the middle and poorer
classes were the ones to take out the first
certificates. 1t was regarded as a good
sign, too that the men predominated as
depOsitors. for, it is argued, it is not the
women. but the men, as a rule, who do
not save.
that pleased Postmaster General Hitch
cock also. While he felt assured that the
native-born element would, as matter of
course, avail itself of the peculiar bene-
fits of the new system, he believed that
the foreign element, which was more ia
miliar with government savings institu-
tons abroad, would be Likely to predomi-
nate. Now he feels certain the deposit
tories are going to be generously patron
lied by both classes alike.

THE TRAGEDY OF LIVING.

The nation stands aghaSt at the tragedy OF
death when presented in the burning of $50 girls
in a New York factory fire some awful mine
disaster, but scarcely does it give passing atten
ton to the daily recurring tragedies Of life
The other day the body of girl was taken
from the lake at Chicago For week it lay in
the morgue, unknown, and then young man
called and identified it that of his sweetheart
He was led to the coroner's Office by the publica
ton in the newspapers of the fact that pecu-
liar ring and purse containing three dollars
had been found in the girl clothing. He had
given her the ring, he explained, as pledge of
betrothal and he knew that the amount of mon
ey she had represented her weeks salary.
Try to imagine a young woman fighting for
existence in the great city of Chicago on mis-
cradle pittance of three dollars week-daily
starving daily crushing her desire and daily
killing hope. Try to picture her life, if you can.
She awakes in the morning from a night of
torturing sleep hard pallet that gave no
rest to weary flesh and bones. She awakes, not
to fresh air, sunshine, flowers and comfortable
surroundings, but to dirt and squalor, to the half
darkness of narrow walls that barely allow room
for the cot on which she has lain and, perhaps,
an old box and broken chair.
She lights smoky lamp and over it warns a
cup OF tea. Perhaps she has some dry bread and
this with the tea constitutes her breakfast
And then her toilet. How pitifully she
erts herself to make her faded and worn gar
a cracked bit of mirror tries to brighten her
saddened face.
And next to work A long tramp sometimes
through snow sometimes through rain, sometimes
through the sitting heat of summer, to a hard
days toll, where for ten hours she must bend
over fine garments her employer will sell to the
prospcrous-over the dainty laces and ribbons
and innumerabe furbelows so dear to every
woman's heart. Ten hours, and she must drag
herself back 'home" to another scant meal and
another night of tossing and weary sleep.
Thus day after day, her struggle goes on to
keep lfe-iust bare life-in her body and to
keep her soul clean three dollars week, Not
even for sickness she stop. The fight must
go while she suffers an everlasting hunger
that is never satisfied and everlasting yearn-
ing for something better that is appeased.
Is not such tragedy of living worse than
the tragedy Of dying? People today believe that,
in general way, they deal justly and uprightly
with another but when a like this is
brought home to them will they not think that
there is something radically wrong with the so
cial and economic conditions that make for such
misery in life?

JUDGE BEN LINDSEY.

According to press dispatches there is talk of
the abolition of the juvenile court of Denver
presided over by Judge Ben b. Lindsey. 1t is
to be hoped that the reports are in error, as
Judge Lindsey has done more for the youth of
Denver than has been done for the youth of
any city in the country, with the possible excep-
ton of Judge Dunn, of the juvenile court of
Chicago. To Judge Lindsey belongs the honors
for first putting into successful practice the
method Of handling the rising generation that
is at the present time admitted to be the only
system of retaining what were previously con
sidered incorrigibles. F" By kindness and by
getting close to youthful offenders-n father
ly manner-Judge Lindsey has secured hold
upon almost every child that has come under his
jurisdiction.
The boy who would stray from the straight
and narrow path, be taken before the Denver
jurst is ever afterwards pleased to call himself
one of Judge Lindseys boys" And one of
Judge Lindsey's boys he will remain. No prison
sentence and contamination with hardened Grim
inals is tolerated in this court The wrong doer
rs placed on probation. He reports to the judge
weekly, or semi-weekly, as the case may be- If
his parents cannot afford the expense the court
youth may have no possible excuse for breaking
his parole And those who do break it are few
md far between
1t would work decided hardship upon the
city of Denver and the balance of the country
should this court be abolished For the reason
that the Lindsey method is being closely watched
in all congested centers and is also being rapidly
adopted.

these topical songs might serve: Father

Then the Transcript pictures riot following
an Oyer-zealOus young manufacturers proposal
to indorse wOrkingman's compensation law
quiet being restored only when the POSTMASTER
orders: "Waiter, pass the annual reports. -
1t draws an affecting scene over the coffee

pathos the old ballad, ''Shall Aud Investors BE

of sad farewell near daybreak after spark
ling symposium on the theme Resolved, That
the Railroad Is Mightier Than the Government. -
