is to phone to the boys when the lat
ter are at work or at home. Man,
mothers of young boys have told u
that girls make a practice of phonin,
to the boys home at all hours of tn,
evening.
ut is safe to say that fully rs pei
cent of the girls of this age in the
city are SO inclined The practice
presents one of the greatest problems
confronting this department.
Parents DO Not Believe
I'm many instances when we call
upon the parents of these girls and
inform them of the true conditions,
We are met with doubt and disbelief
Seldom do parents realize the exact
conditions until too late. We meet
with more distrust than cooperation
in cases of this kind. 1t is not infre-
quent that parents doubt what we
report about their children, and oc-
casionally we are actually accused of
manufacturing and repeating I'M
truths in this regard
Some parents assume most ex-
traordinary positions when commune
Gated with by officers of this depart
ment regarding their children said
Miss Helen Coston, also a probation
officer. 1T is the general inclination
to believe the child rather than the
officer, no matter how serious the
charge.
How Mothers Blunder
Zone mother, in particular, has
daughter only nine years of age. who
is permitted to go out evenings alone
or with other young girls near her
age. On one occasion, of which |
spoke to this mother, the little girl
had been permitted to 60 to party
Or rather, that is where she told her
mother she was going. The mother
did not know where the party was,
who the girl went with if she went
there at ALL what hour of the night
the girl returned home, or whether
there really was party or not.
II suggested to the mother that she
herself should accompany her daugh-
ter out evenings in case some other
older and responsible person was not
along, but the mother could not con-
ceive of such thing. She said that
she thought that such would be inter-
'ering with the child's liberty and
hat it would be exercising entirely
90 much jurisdiction on the part of
he parent"

LONG FIGHT ON TARIFF
To Begin When Steel Bill Is In
troduced Next Week.
fFrom The TrIbuna Bureau


Washington, Jan. 17.-Following a Demo-
cratic caucus to be held on Saturday the
House next week win begin a tariff grind
that probably will continue for months.
Representative Underwood said to-day that
the Democratic members OF the Ways and
Means Committee have practically perfect
ed their bill revising the iron and steel
schedules. The bill will be presented to
the Democratic caucus in order that the
majority may present united front. This
formality over. the bill will be brought
into the House and the floods OF oratory
will be loosed
II do not expect long discussion on the
iron and steel bill" said Mr.. Underwood.
I'VE may complete It next week. expect
to introduce the bill Immediately after the
Democratic caucus has passed on It,"
The call for the caucus will probably be
issued tomorrow, and IT is generally un-
derstood that the only object in calling the
Democrats together in party council is to
grease the majority steam roller so that
the tariff programme OF the Democrats
may find a clear track. AS forecast I'm

that the Tariff Board has had no oppor-

committee itself has held no hearings on
the subject
The reductions, II iF understood. will
range from 20 TO 45 per cent. Iron ore, un-

caucus, will be put on The free list, as will

erty was rapidly climbing higher
when the city did finally purchase the
site of the Municipal Building 1t paid a
heavy penalty for its delay. The value Of
the Chambers street property in the mean
time has become so great as to compel the
selection of different location for the
county courthouse. The mischief caused by
previous mistakes may now, however, be
largely remedied IL the city officials are
cordially aided, instead Of obstructed. IN
carrying out their present great project
"The adaptability and suitability OF the
site selected for the new civic centre have
been demonstrated by Borough President
McAneny It's development seems almost
providentially to have been retarded to give
the city this opportunity. There are no
buildings of great value upon the whole
area the most Of them are almost worth
less The city will never have another such
chance. According TO the judgment Of ex-
perts this entire tract can be acquired by
the city for a much smaller amount than
II was officially estimated 1t would have cost
to condemn the proposed site for the coun-
ty courthouse In Union Square.
And yet we hear from one or two In.

this proposed action, on the ground that II
will impose too great A burden upon the
taxpayers. The point attempted to be
made against Il, that 1t Is not advocated by
any one who commands public confidence

did the late Andrew II. Green, sounds droll
to those acquainted with the facts.
ct happen to be in a position TO answer
that argument from my own personal
knowledge The fact is that Andrew II.
Green was not only the Father of Greater
New York but he deserves to be recognized
also as the father of the plan to create
great civic centre In practically the same
location as that selected by the committee
NJ the Board OF Estimate and Apportion-
ment.
ct Is true that he was Of the opinion
that It should cover a greater area and ex-
tend further to the eastward, so as TO utilize
the whole Of Mulberry Bend Park and sur
rounding property. But It must be remem-
bered that market values have measurably
increased since Mr.. Green's death, even in

reasons Mr.. Green entertained for believing
this to be an ideal site for magnificent

Possibly there are arguments to be sd-
vanccd against the city authorities pro-
ceeding Immediately with the proposed plan
of acquiring this site for the direly needed
new county courthouse and its other future
buildings, but to deserve the respectful at
tentlon of wise and farsighted officials and
citizens such arguments must be founded on

SAYS It SHIELDS TRUST
Department of Justice Accused
by Harvester Witness.
OTHER TRUSTS IN CONTROL
Charge That Combination,
Through National City Bank,
Can Break Independents.

Washington, Jan. IF. ]. Lowe, repre-
sentng independent manufacturers, charged
before the House Rules Committee to-day
that "51 per cent Of the stockholders in the
steel, sugar, beef and bankers trusts also
control the International Harvester Com
pany." He declared that the Department
OF Justice had "chloroformed every move
rnent made to prosecute the harvester trust,
shown by the fact that the Townsend report
TO the department in 1906 has slumbered
there ever since
Mr. Lowe said that last autumn he asked
Theodore Roosevelt's advice as TO what he
should do to urge prosecution Of the Har-
vester company and Mr.. Roosevelt said :
You'd better come to see me later about
that"
Later" said Mr. Lowe, Il was astounded
TO learn that Mr.. Roosevelt had placed a
clean bill Of health on the United States
steel Corporation. l also received letter
from Mr.. Roosevelt stating that he could
give me no advice on the Harvester com
pany and asking me to drop in any Friday
morning and I'll explain why

clared Mr. Lowe. was directed by ]. Pier

inal promoter who turned his affairs over

that the United states steel Company
gives rebates to the International Harvester
Company. and that the Belt Line Railroad,
in Chicago. obstruCts freight traffic Of inde-
pendent companies"
lie also charged that the trust sold goods
at home at a profit Of 100 per cent and sold
abroad almost a cost. demanding cash from
American farmers and giving long term
contracts to foreign trade
I'VE charge that the International Har-
vester Company. through the National City
Bank" he continued, can break any tnde-
rendent concern in the United States"
W. H. Green. Of Creighton, Neb., vet
eran dealer in farm machinery declared
that the so-Called harvester and steel trusts,
the National City Bank of New York and
the great transportation systems Of the
country were dominated by the same di
rectors. Mr.. Green urged the committee
not to give the harvester trust an immunity
bath. He asserted that the company had
raised prices from Is to 20 per cent.

FOR CHILDREN'S BUREAU
House Committee on Labor
Makes Favorable Report.
IFrom NJ Trlbune Bureau. ]

Washington. Jan. 17-Takng the stand
that the federal government should collect
information and issue bulletins concerning
children as We'll as hogs. cattle, fish, fruit
trees and other species of animal and plant
life, the House Committee on Labor re-
ported unanimously to-day the Peters bill
TO create a chndren's bureau in the Depart
ment Of Commerce and Labor.
The report says that less than $4,000 a
year will be required to study and report
on the problems of child life, this amount
being much less than the sum annually eX-
pended for the collection Of data concern
ing trees. insects. soils and other things
investigated principally by the Department
of Agriculture 1t adds.
The children's bureau should be an au-
thoritative source of information concern
ing various questions Of child life, 10 the
end that human life and health may be
preserved ana human misery decreased.
We believe that the interest in the crea-
ton of the bill is widespread and the de
mand for IT earnest and sincere. The new
bureau will be one of several now serving
the public most acceptably. No one has
has been indorsed by such representa-
tive bodies as the Daughters OF the Amer
ican Revolution. the American FederauoI
of Labor the General Federation oi
Women's Clubs. the American Prison AS
sociation, the National Child Labor Com
mission and various persons distinguished
for their interest in human welfare.
The committee holds that the passage O
the bill will not be an interference will
state rights, as the federal government
shall merely collect information concern
ing infant mortality. child labor, occupa
ton. diseases illiteracy and other prob
lens Of childhood, this data to be made
available for the various states and humane
societies in their efforts to better the con-
ditiOn Of the child.

JUDGE HOOK SUSTAINED
Mr.. Wickersham Finds Protests
Croundless.

Washington. Jan. 1.-THE protests against
the appointment OF Judge William c. Hook,
OF Kansas. 20 the United States Supreme
Court, have been investigated by Attorney
General Wickc~sham and found groundess.
The complaints were based on Judge Hook 3
decision in the oklahoma two-cent railroad
rate case. I'm which he held the law to be
conHScatory.
Mr Wickcrsham decided that il Vas oX-
tremely unwise 10 judge the character Of a
jurist by one opinion, simply because it
happened TO be favorable to the railroads.
An examination Of Judge Hooks record in
Interpreting the railroad and other laws OF
the country rCfutad, in the judgment OF the
Attorney General, the charge that the
judge was 200 conservative. His conception
OF the man was based on consideration Of
his whole career upon the bench.
The result Of the investigation means that
Judge Hook IS still among the foremost
candidates fo~ the Supreme Court vacancy,
hut the President, 1t is said in authoritative
circles. has not yet made up his mind as
30 the selection.

would make these specific charges unless he
were prepared to prove them. and there Is
general feeling that the Governor open
letter will sound the death knell OF the La
Toilette supporters in Illinois. That such
methods have been employed in the interest
of the Wisconsin Senator causes little sur
prise TO those familiar with his own meth
ods In Wisconsin, but that any one so IN

tracks should have been permitted to lead

casion Of surprise. c. G.. II.
