Problems presented by the ragged regi-

Of the Associated Charities yesterday
afternoon. As one solution OF the Diff

Saving institute. DR.. A. W. Clark de-
clared the attitude Of the officials was
misunderstood. We take money from
fathers OF Legitimate children. he said,
when they are willing to atone In q
way for their crime by helping the child.
II is not true that a child cannot be
placed In the institute until money has
been paid US. We examine into cases and
If We ind that help is needed We render
what assistance we can.
As to the complaint from several
sources that we do not allow our books
to remain open to the public, let me say,
from the general public such inspection
is not resented. To mothers and fathers
of children who have been taken by US
and later adopted by good people we re-
fuse to open our books for all they want
is to create trouble. II they knew where
their child was they would be given the

Reform IL Needed.
Miss Nellie Magee said that charity

any communication could exist. Referring
TO the work at the City Mission In watch
ing the jails and giving criminals q lift
she said such work properly belonged TO
the Young Mems Christian association
as nearly all criminals were Just past
the age when they could be committed
to Jail and very few were above 30 years
Of age.
Miss Magee told OF the routine work
at the mission. Now over-worked mothers

UNION VETERAN LEGION
FOR DELAWARE RESOLUTION

At the regular monthly meeting Of the
Union Veteran legion yesterday after
noon. when the members Of the woman's
auxiliary were also present, the old SOL
diers took up and passed the resolutions
considered last month by the Grand Army
post, demanding the change Of the name
Of the battleship Delaware on account OF
the obnoxious and cruel laws that per-
NIT the whipping post and human torture
In the state Of Delaware. 1t was a joint
meeting Of the legion and the auxiliary.
and when the matter came to a vote
after communication relating to II had
been read there was not a dissenting
voice.
The women were especially vehement
and earnest In their demand for congress
sional action. The officers Of the organi-
zation were instructed also by a unanl-
nous vote to send copies Of the reso-
luton to all Of the members OF the Iowa
delegation in congress and to other
Union Veteran legions posts throughout
the cuntry. The determination to force
congress to change the name Of the bat
tleship as a protest Of humanity against
Delaware cruelty or force the state TO
change the laws appears to be unalter-
able. Following is the resolution:
Whereas, The name Of Delaware for
generations has been the SYNONYM uf
cruelty, ignorance and bigotry, which
have hardened into stubborn defiance Of
all appeals Of humanity for correction
Of Its cruel practices, meeting requests
for the abrogatlon Of those Of its laws
that are repugnant to twentieth century
civilization with the enactment Of meas
ures still harsher, more un-Christian and
cruel, until its constant acts Of human
torture have outraged christendom and
given the world wrong conception OF
american civilization; and,
Whereas, Congress has unfortunately
permitted one Of the nations and the
worlds greatest hattleships to be given
the name of Delaware. which vessel IA
the course of its cruises must visit the
pocts Of all Of the great nations where
the name, Delaware, is associated only
with medieval barbarity and cruelty;
Resolved. That We beg our representa-
tives in congress to insist upon the i'm
mediate change OF the name Of the bat
tleship and thus prevent the people Of
other countries justifying their own bar
barities by pointing TO the American flag
floating above a name that disgraees
twentieth century civilization, hbels
American humanity, stains and shanes
the name Of our whole country and Is a
reproach to the American navy and
which may cause the ship 10 meet the
fate Of the Maine.
Resolved. That we beg our representa-
tives in congress to take immediate
full and early accomplishment

Life from Accident

Lewis II. Shoemaker. the 12-year-old son
OF Edward Shoemaker, a farmer, residing
near Tabor. died at the Edmundson hospI-
tai yesterday from a wound inflicted by
the accidental discharge OF a .22-caliber
rifle. The lad had been out hunting and
while In the field climbed into a manure
spreader that was driven past him. He
laid his gun down before him while ad-
justing the seat. and when he picked IL
up some snow on his mittens caused IL
to slip from his hands and drop upon the
wagon tongue. It struck on the hammer
and was discharged. The bullet struck
him in the left groin and passed upward
Into the abdominal cavity. He was not
brought to the hospital until twenty-four
hours after the accident and 1t was then
too late to save his life. The body was
removed to Cutters to be prepared for
shipment for burial today.
