DR.. ADLER ARRA|GNS
JUDGE GARY'S DEFENSE
Scores Directors of Steel Cor
poration for Allowing
Twelve Hours Labor.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK. January 20.-Dr. Felix
Adler. the best known ethical culture
student and teacher in America. came
out today with a slashing attack upon
the statement recently issued by Elbert
HI. Gary. executive head of the steel
trust, in reply to the severe arraign-
ment of that giant corporation at the
Republican Club of New York January
13 by Louis ID. Brandeis the Boston
lawyer and economist Mr.. Brandeis'
criticisms touched with special feryor
upon the labor conditions at the many
plants OF the steel trust. He Particular
ly indicted the management of the big
corporation for it's treatment of the
more than 100000 employees in it's
service. with special reference to the
allegation that considerable propor-
ton of them worked twelve hours a
day and seven days in the week, and
tnat some of them were kept at their
posts on occasions as. long as twenty
four hours.
Are not the directors of the steel
corporation themselves qualifed--if they
follow their human instincts--to realize
that twelve hours a day is excessive
and unreasonable? inquired DIR. Adler
Pensions have tendency to riyet the
employe to the employer" he continued
For this reason the German govern
ment has adopted the system of state
pensions. under which the wage Garner
may pass from employer to employer
without jeopardizing the security of his
old age.
Harm Worked Through Bonuses.
"The danger of dictatorial unionism is
offset by the danger of industrial
absolutism. The attempt is being made
to conduct our great industrial con-
Germs on a military plan-a great
army Of workmen being commanded by
officers who are being spurred to in
tense effort by bonuses or promises of
promotion. l maintain that no class is
good enough-or, If good enough. is
wise enough-to govern another. and no
board Of directors of a great corpora
ton is good enough--or, If good enough,
lis wise enough-to be solely intrusted
with the welfare of hundreds of thou
sands of human beings who are depend
ent upon them for their bread"
DIR. Adler insists that Judge Gary
should accompany his reply to Mr..
Brandeis' criticism with the actual fig
ures taken from the books of the trust,
showing that the several pension and
benefit funds referred to by Judge Gary
are accomplishing the work Of the phi
lanthropy claimed for them by the man.

PROFIT BY EQUITABLE FIRE.
Carnegie Trust Company Vaults Re.
place Some of Those Burned.

NEW YORK. January 20.-Disaster In
one direction has led to relief in another.
When the building of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society burned there were
ruined some Of the largest safe deposit
vaults In the financial district the patrons
Of which were obliged to look elsewhere
for accommodations, This has resulted
In the sale by Supt. Van Tuyl Of the state
banking department to a syndicate here
Of the safe deposit vaults OF the failed
Carnegie Trust Company, the considera-
ton being $4,000.
The Carnegie vaults, which cost $4,000,
never had been a profitable investment,
and their management after the failure of
the trust company was taken over by the
state superintendent of banks. The sum
realized from the sale of the vaults will
be applied to satisfying the claims of
creditors Of the defunct Carnegie Trust
Company.

MOTOR CYCLISTS OBJECT.
Believe Regulation Regarding Two
on q Machine Should Be Modified.

The police regulation making it unlaw-
ful for two persons to ride a motor CO.
Gle Is claimed to be too drastic by men,
bers of the National Motor Cycle Club,
who at a recent meeting Of the organia-
ton passed resolutions declaring they do
not believe It should be unlawful for a
motor cycle operator to carry a passenger
on the rear part of the machine.
1t was recited that the organization
realizes the danger to life and property
follow ng the practice Of carrying an eX
ira person on. any motor cycle in front
Of the operator. and believes this provi-
sion Of the regulation should be enforced
at all times.
The organization also went on record
as condemning the use Of the open muf
fer on motor vehicles in the city lin ts in
violation Of regulations. The regulation
governing the speed Of motor vehicles in
the District was also approved.
Copies of the resolutions are to be sent
to the Commissioners and the superin-
tendent of police. A committee of the
organization will call at the District
building and urge that the regulation for
bidding two persons riding on a motor
cycle be modified so as to allow q passen-
ger in the rear Of the operator.

WOMAN CLAIMS CHILD
TO DECEIVE HUSBAND
Court Decides Against Her,
But She Refuses to Re-
linquish Babe.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, january 90
That Mrs. Leona Batty practiced a fraud
on the court when she represented that
she had become a mother October 2s
1910. was the decision late today OF Judge
Joseph Collier OF the superior court, and
the petition Of Bernard r. Batty. the
divorced husband OF Mrs. Batty. asking
that the court relieve him from support
ing the child was granted.
The baby. which was exhibited in court
also was claimed by a nineteen-year-oid
girl of Eaton. Ind. She averred the baby
was hers. and that IL was born I'm a hos
pital here about ten days before the time
Mrs. Ratty said the child was born
Reasons for Courts Decision.
Judge Collier gave several reasons
why he came 10 the concl ssAsu that the
child was not Mrs. Batty'A and made
much of the fact that a physician was
not called by Mrs. Batty. and that she
later had refused to submit to an exam
ination by physician.
In February. 1911, Mr.. Batty brought
suit for divorce. and his wife filed a
cross bill. Judge Collier granted a di-
vorce on the cross complaint and ordered
the husband to ppy Sl5 month for the
support OF each OF the two children.
Later the husband asked release from
the support of the younger child, and at
the hearing a short time ago the decep-
ton Of the wife was brought out and
the young girl brought into court TO Calm
the child.
Mr. Batty averred that his wife obtain
ed the baby to bring about a reconcilia-
ton, as the couple had separated a few
weeks before. He said they had been
living apart when the first chi.d had been
born and that IL had reunited them.

desirable to admit him to the kaisers

most touched the ceiling Of the green

until an old French gardener traced 1t
oack TO the Nine. Ferdinand Jarmain,
Which was popular in France nearly
century ago. There is no doubt. however,
Lnat the present form of this magnificent
mower originated in the Capital city Of the

pioyed In the government gardens, was q
rose lover. and made a few experiments
IN rose propagation in his own home.
One OF his results was the rose plant
from which every American beauty rose
now IN existence may be said to have
sprung. A Washington florist, visiting
TINS mans house, saw the plant, recog-
nlzed Its possibilities, bought 1t from the
growers wife for 50 cents and Immediate

GOOD MOUNTS FOR ARMY
Gen. Bell of Philippine Division
Recommends Purchase of
Australian Horses.

There is a prospect of getting cavalry
horses for service in the PHILIPPINES, ac-
cording to the annual report of Maj Cen
Bell, commanding the division. In 1908
800 horses were purchased in Australia
for cavalry service in the island He sug-
gests that an effort be made to get q
better type Of antipodean mount. The
average price Of the Australian horses
landed in Manila has been about $40, as
against s225. the average cost Of Amer
ican horses.
Opinions Change.
Early opinions as to the Australian
horses were unsatisfactory and conflicting
and did not justify further purchase. but
Gen. Bell says that is not surprising when
1t is remembered that many OF the ami
mails were young and undeveloped and
were not of high grade Several cavalry
officers have told Gen. Bell that the Aus
tralian mounts compare very favorably
with the horses obtained in the states.
The view is held by many that these Aus
tralian horses are the best obtainable, but
Gen. Bell says better type can be OBJ
tanned at an increased cost of about so,

given to forced blooms. All roses may
be forced to bloom out Of their natural

plants. The tea-scented hybrids and the
other hybrid selections. being naturally
ever-bloomers, are more satisfactory for
this purpose. Roses for cuttings are
grown in soil packed on tables or In solid
