BILLS BEFORE SENATE
REQUIRE ELUC|DAT|ON
Judge De Lacy to Explain Pro-
posed Amendments to Nom
Support Law.

Judge william II. DeLacy Of the Ju-
venile Court will be asked to appear be-
fore the Senate District committee at its
next meeting to explain bills requiring
the non-support of illegitimate children
and making more stringent the child
labor law
Both Of these measures were called UP
at the last meeting of the District COM
mittee and 1t developed that there was
objection to their approval unless the rea-
sons were better understood. AS the
judge Of the Juvenile Court has made
recommendation which the bills are in
tended to carry out. it was decided to
ask him to come forward with an ex-
PLANTATION.
Extends Jurisdiction.
One Of the bills amends the non-support
law. so that illegitimate as well as legiti-
mate children are included in It's pro-
visions. and 50 that the Juvenile Court
shall have jurisdiction over all non-sup-
port cases. even though they involve only
the question of the support OF wife.
The bill also amends the child labor to
limit further the hours during which chill
dren can sell newspapers and gum on the
streets In the evenings. and to provide q
small penalty on the children themselves
for violations Of the law. The original
law imposed no penalty on the children.
but the operation OF the law Is said to
have shown that its enforcement would
be easier and more effective IL the fear Of
punishment. in the way of q small fine,
stood in the minds of those tempted to
disobey.
1t was this feature OF imposing q fine on
the children to which objection was made
in the committee, and Judge De Lacy
will be asked particularly the reasons for
that.

UNABLE TO MEET CRISIS
UNLESS CONGRESS ACTS
Health Office Fund for the
Care of Contagion En-
tireIy Exhausted.

With a crucial situation regarding q
sudden outbreak Of smallpox in the
northeast, the contagious disease service
Of the District Of Columbia may have
to close up shop Monday morning un-
less some way is found to give 1t funds.
The last cent available for the year for
the fighting OF contagious diseases will
be spent Monday.
The Commissioners sent an appeal to
Congress within the last three days for
permission to the health officer to use
money appropriated for the contagious
disease service, but which is not avail
able because OF certain congressional
limitations regarding the use Of money
for personal services." That appeal has
not been acted upon.
Not only Is there smallpox to be cared
for, but the leper patient and the CLAN
ders patient require attention, the expens,
OF quarantine to be paid out Of this
fund which Is slipping into thin air az
the clock ticks.
Five Smallpox Cases Develop.
Five cases Of smallpox were discovered
yesterday in one family in the northeast.
The patients were Immediately sent to
the smallpox hospital. 1t is said thai
nine persons have been exposed to con-
tact with the disease and there may be
more cases. "
The physicians and employees Of the
contagious disease service may donate
their services to the District until such
time as Congress will reimburse them,
but nothing has been decided on that
point. The appeal to Congress was a
proposed joint resolution asking that the
District be allowed the use Of the money
appropriated for the contagious disease
service. but which under the appropriation
act could not be expended for salaries.
Question Up to Congress.
AS most Of the contagious disease ex-
pense Is one of personal service, the
District officials have never been con-
tented with the limitation OF $4,000 4
year under that designation for the con-
tagious disease branch OF the health
office. There is over 5000 appropriated
which cannot be touched unless Congress
heeds the appeal.

UNITED STATES EXPORTS
EXCEED $4,000, 600, 900
Estimate for Year, Based on Figures
for the Past Ten
Months.

For the first time in the history of the
United States the export trade of this
country win this year almost certainly
cross the SoO09, ,OOO,O line. The fiscal
year ends with the present month. and.
according to a statement issued by the
Department Of Commerce and Labor.
some remarkable records will be an
nounced after June 90.
Statement for Ten Months.
The figures for ten months OF the bu-
reau Of statistics of the Department OF
Commerce and Labor furnish basis for
rough calculation Of the trade for the
full fiscal year and these suggest that the
exports OF raw cotton will aggregate not
far from 5000 0OO0. 900 in value.
Iron and steel manufactures exported
will approximate $3.50. 100000: meat and
dairy products. sl50.000.0o0; bread
stuffs, $i25, 1000. 900: copper. $100.000.00o:
mineral oil, s100.000.000: wood and
manufactures thereof. $90.0o0,0o0. and
leather, more than $50.000,000.
The statement of cotton exported for
ten months shows a valuation of $780,
600 600. which is $f43.000,000 greater
than the corresponding months OF
1910.
Due to High Prices.
This large value OF raw cotton ex.
ported, which will be by far the larg-
est total ever reported In any single
year. is largely due to high prices
rather than to large quantities export
ed. The large increases mentioned. to.
sether with those Of less important
articles, suggest that the fiscal year
ending June so next will be q banner
wear in the history OF export trade oe
the United States.

ADDRESS By PROF. WILLIS
Question of Getting Lower Rates
Under "Most Favored Nation"

CHICAGO, June 3-"The Information
al Aspects OF Reciprocity" was the sub
ject Of an address by Prof III. Parker
Willis Of George Washington Univer-
sity. at the Western Economic Society
conference on Canadian reciprocity to-
day. Prof. Willis said in part:
President Taft. in his message to
Congress Of January 2S, 1911. has stat
eral reasons which call for a closer
commercial union between the United
States and Canada. His exposition of
the broad and statesmanlike consider
ations which should control the action
Of the two countries in this matter
leaves little to be added.
TT seems to me that the advantages
to both countries certain to flow from
the operation Of the agreement are Of
SO evident and considerable a nature
as to make the desirability Of its adop-
ton unmistakable. ] think II should
be passed by the Senate without fur
ther delay. and that when 1t has been
so adopted 1t will constitute one OF the
most creditable acts OF the present ad-
ministration.

trade relations with Canada which car

Change in Commercial Policy.
There is another aspect of the Ca.
dian agreement. however, in which II
constitutes an important innovation upor
past and present commercial policy and
which suggests the introduction OF a new
attitude toward foreign countries NOR
in harmony with existing conditions thar
the selfish and exclusive internationa
position heretofore accepted by th'
United States. The reciprocity agree
an important step toward the revision
Of our system Of international tariff
treaties.
"That the United States would. with
out q struggle. surrender its traditiona
Interpretation OF the most favored ma
ton clause In our treaties is hardly to b,
expected. The question would therefore
remain whether the United States coult
refuse to open negotiations for the ex
tension OF reciprocity arrangements {,
other countries which might demand sucl
arrangements. Should it SO refuse. 4
