FAVORS CHILD BUREAU BILL.
Mrs. Gates B. Perry Addresses Won
an Suffrage Association.

Mrs. Gates B. Perry spoke last night
before the District of Columbia branch
Of the Woman Suffrage Association at
the apartment of Misses e. G.. and M. E.
Heyler in the Congressional. Mrs Per-
rvs subject was the bill for the estab-
lishment Of a child bureau, which meas
ure has already passed the Senate and
is pending in the House.
According to the census Of 1900. A
per cent of the population of the United
States was under twenty years of age"
set of this country is it's children, and
after years of struggle We have formed
an organization which has been instru-
mental in obtaining better conditions for
the working children OF the land.
From am membership of less than
fifty the national child labor commit
tee has grown in seven years to a con-
tributing membership of more than 5000,
which contributes an annual budget OF
nearly $4,000. Twenty-seven states and
local organizations are affiliated with the
committee, which is also in close touch
and definite cooperation with leading
educators. medical experts, women
clubs, churches, trades unions and other
agencies working for the protection OF
the child"
The association will endeavor to have q
law passed by Congress raising the age
limit of messenger boys in the District
from sixteen years to twenty-one years.
A. J. Mckelway, secretary of the ma
tional child labor committee, will deiiv-
er an address in the near future at the
Public Library, the date to be announced
later.

inspection of the different kinds Of fire
engines in use in Philadelphia, and upon
his second return there, in IT'S, he bought
from one Gibbs q small fourth-class en-
CINE for ESQ 1Os and just before he set
out for Boston to become commander-in-
chief of the continental army sent this
little engine as a present to the Friend
ship company.
Washington did not lose his interest
in fire matters through his elevation
to position and power. Upon his retire
ment to Mount Vernon, after his second
term as President. and when his fame
spread around the world. he continued
to take active interest in the municipal
affairs Of Alexandra. II Is related that
in the last year Of his life he was one
day riding down King street when fire
broke out near the market. He was ac-
companied by his servant, also ON horse
back, and noticed that the Friendship
company engine was poorly manned,
though a crowd of well dressed idlers
stood about. Riding up to the crowd, he
employed very vigorous language in re-
buking their indifference at such a time.
He ended by calling out: 1T is your
business to lead in these Matters and,
throwing the bride Of his horse to his
servant, he leaped off and seized the
brakes. followed by a crowd that gave
the engine such a shaking up as 1t never
knew afterward.

greatest achievement in which Florida
has played the most conspicuous part.
The approaching continuation Of the Flor
ida East Coast railway to Its terminus at
Key West is q monumental event not only
in the history of Florida, but also in that
of the United States.
The significance of this event is far be-
yond our ken. 1t virtually links the great
cities Of the north with the Panama canal.
II means that the excuHsioniss and the
business man can go from the great cities
of New York, Boston. Chicago and st.
Louis by an all-rail route to Key West
and be brought within a few hours OF
Havana and the Panama canal. The

road over the keys Of Florida and who
had the courage-we might almost say the
audacity-to pledge his personal fortune
to the enterprise il Henry M. Flagler,

TIGERS PROBABLY WILL NOT
HAVE A CAPTAIN IN 1912
Bad Luck Appears to Pursue Players Ele-
waited to This Position, and Jennings
May Do Away With Office.

DETROIT. Mich. February DIN all
probability the Tigers will have to strug-
gle along without a captain next season.
The matter hasn't been decided definitely
as yet and probably will not be until the
club returns from its southern trip, but
all indications point to the abolition OF
the Office held by George Moriarty last
season. 1t seems that there is an mex
orable link following the captain Of the
Jungaleers, and both Manager Jennings
and President Navin feel inclined to yield
to superstition to the extent OF giving
the creature nobody to work his evil
designs on for time.
Holding down the Tigers captaincy
appears to be fatal to the success of
ball player. One after another the
leaders have met with some sort OF bad
luck until now 1t would be hard to get
man to accept the job. even were 1t
Jennings desire to appoint a successor
to Moriarty or to reappoint Capt. George.
Take It Too Seriously.
The trouble seems to be that the cap
tains take their real or imaginary re-
sponsibilities too seriously. This un-
questionably was the trouble with
Moriarty who had a frightfully bad year
following his elevation to the job with
the jinx attached. George played fairly
good ball in 1910 and there was every
reason to believe that he would be ade-
quate in the third basing line for several
seasons. Then last spring, while the club
was in New Orleans, he was appointed
captain and from that time on he
couldn't seem to do anything.
George is one Of the most conscientious
men in base ball and he was 80 anxious
to deliver the goods and prove that all
this stuff about jinx following the posi-
ton is a myth that he got nervous when
things started to go wrong ana he
couldn't get into his stride.
His hitting fell of and his fielding be-
came so inaccurate that the fans dreaded
to see a ball batted in his direction. The
more he worried and the harder he tried,
the worse things became. In the opinion
Of the majority Of the Tigers. Georges
exaeeerated idea Of the responsibilities
resting on his shoulders accounted Tor
much Of his bad luck.
Schaef Is Hoodooed.
Herman Schaefer was captain before
Moriarty. and hardly had the honors been
tackled on the cheerful German than he
commenced to slow up In the field and
fall of In hitting. Finally In the middle
OF the 1909 season he was traded to
washington for Delehanty. Killifer being
included In the transaction.
Bill Cougflin held the ink ONCE before
Schaef got 1t, and his experience was not
unlike that OF the others. He worried
and fretted until at the time Of the sec
ond worlds series with the Cubs he was
