SOME WOOL TRUST EVIDENCE

In the light of the Presidents
veto of the wool bill, which veto
gives the wooden trust a contin-
unuance of it's privilege to plumber
the consumer while at the same
time paying its workers starvation
wages, a page from the hearing in
connection with the Lawrence
strike inquiry makes interesting
reading. The witness is Miss
Sanger. a trained nurse. On page
26, hearings on house resolutions
4O9' and 433 the following
testimony appears:
Mr.. Pou miss Sanger, were
you instrumental in taking nunbr
of the strikers Children away from
Lawrence during the striker"

condition was the most horrible l

four of the smallest children had
chicken pox, and they had not re-
ceived any medical attention.
They were walking about among
the other children apparently with
out noticing the chicken pox or
diptheria: one child had diptheria.
OF 119 children only four Of them
had underwear, and it was bitterly
cold. We had to run all the way
from the station to Labor Temple
after we got to New York to keep
from freezing"
Mr.. Foster: "You say only
four had Undertaking; what was
the conditi n of their outer

Mr.. Foster: "Were the children

meat with their bare hands,"
Mr., Foster: Ibid any of them

sort?"
Miss Sanger: "No SIR"
Mr.. Foster: And yet they all
worked in wooden mills?"
Miss Sanger: Eyes SIR"
In his veto message Mr.. Taft has
much to say about the "woolen
industry" and "foreign labor"
He makes no mention of these

I'm LONELY CORNERS.
Scouts of Science Seek Strange
Places of the Earth.
American Institutions Spend Vast
Sums In Exploration and Send
Their Men to the Darkest
Spots of the Globe.

New York.-Up on the fifth or Office
floor of the American Museum OF
Natural History, just opposite the ele-
rators. is a bulletin board, on which
are painted fifty or sixty names OF
persons actively connected with the
institution, all of them well known
and many of them famous through
out the scientific world. Opposite
each name is a little movable block
of wood which shows whether the
owned is in or out.
Inquiry discloses that some OF the
"outs" are not far away, but that
many of them have been absent a
long time; that they are in the lonely
corners of the earth and that they
a-e not likely to be in for another
year or two. These scouts of science
come and go at long intervals, but
there are so many of them connected
with the museum that every month
or SO some one marks his departure
or arrival on the board.
AS a matter of fact such institu-
lions as the American Museum of Nat
ural History, the Field Museum in
Chicago, the National Museum at
Washington, and various European
institutions are doing the largest
share of the geographic exploration
of the earth just at present. The
plan that each follows is usually the
same.
First they send out one man alone,
or two together, to penetrate some
remote region about which nothing is
known This is really a scientific
scouting party. The instructions are
to move as quickly as possible, but
to make thorough survey of the
scientific possibilities of the country.
When the scouts come back and re.
port then a large expedition is fitted
out, arrangements being made for 1t
to stay in the field several years. The
scouts do not accompany this ex-
petition They are on on another
reconnaissance in some other distant
part of the world.

For People to
 Elect Senators
HOUSE FAVoRs THE PROPOSED
 AMENDMENT.
NOW GOES TO STATES
Must Be Ratified by Three -fourths of Them Before It Becomes Part of Constitution of United States.

Washington, May 13.-The house to- day adopted, 237 to Ss, a joint resolu- tion providing for an amendment to the constitution to permit the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people. It already had passed the senate and now goes to the states for ratification.
 Opposed by Southern Democrats.
 All that remains to be done Is the formal signing of the instrument and the issuance of proclamation to states to signify their wishes as to the proposed change.
 The vote was preceded by a bitter fight in which the southern members made common cause against the reso- lution. Led by Representative Bart lett of Georgia, the Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana delegates strove to pre- vent its passage because of the senate amendment which gave the federal government supervision of the cleo tions. They based their opposition al- most entirely on the danger of negro domination.
 No Republican Votes Against It.
 The first vote. taken was on an amendment by Representative Bartlett which took from the federal govern menr all supervisory powers. It was defeated by a vote of 1S9 to ss. On the vote for the adoption of the reso- lution, two thirds of the house being necessary, 50 democrats deserted.
 There was not single republican vote cast against the resolution, which was adopted to the accompaniment of thunderous applause.
 Movement Started In 1928.
 Direct election of senators was first taken up by congress in 1928. From time to time recurring attempts have been made to make the senate popu- lar body, and have its members elected as arc the members of the house. Numbers of these resolutions have died in committee

A TRAP SET FOR
 JUDGE ARCHIBALD
Defense Claims That Williams Is Con
 federats of Roland.

Washington, May 13.-Judge Robert W. Archibald's defense in part at least to the charges against him now being aired before the house judiciary com mittee which will decide if impeach- ment proceedings shall be brought was indicated at today's hearing.
 What appeared to have been a de- liberate trap to ensnare the jurist in an embarrassing transaction was re- vealed by the testimony and the de- fense indicated that it would make the most of it. It was alleged that W. F. Roland of Scranton, Pa, who was one of the defeated parties to 0 case before Judge Archibald in the com merce court purposely had Edward J. Williams, the principal witness against the judge, solicit Judge Archi- bald to enter the Katydid culm bank operation transaction with the Erie Railroad while the roads lighterage eases were pending in the court. This transaction led to the filing of charges against the judge. Roland is waiting to testify and may be heard tomorrow.
 w. A. May, manager of the Erie roads coal properties, who gave the option on the culm bank to Williams and Judge Archibald and G. F. Brown ell, vice president and general counsel of the Erie, probably will testify next. According to Williams testimony Judge Archibald personally sought MT. BrownelPs influence to get the Katy l did option after May had refused it.
 The committee will meet again to- morrow.
