PUT A STAMP ON ALL BABIES.
A Mixup Such as Exists in Paris
Avoided in CHICAGO Hospitals.

Chicago, Jan. 25.-All babies born
in Chicago hospitals are stamped, it
was announced today after attention
had been called to the problem now
vexing two Paris mothers. AS soon as
baby arrives, an antiseptic label,
bearing the name of the mother, the
date and hour of birth and the name
of the attending physician is attached
to the child.
Attendants at the Chicago hospital
discussed the enigma with which two
Paris mothers have had to deal. The
stork visited a mother and her daugh-
ter at the same hospital and at the
same hour. An attendant mixed the
infants. Each mother now fondles a
baby and wonders whether it is a son
or brother or son or grandson.

PREACHED WITH A BLACK EYE
Unpaid Contractor Tried to Stop a
Dedication in Oklahoma.

Muskogee, Ok, Jan. 25.--With both
eyes backened and swollen, his lip
cut, his clothing disarranged and
policeman guarding the pulpit, the
Rev. ID. Roland Smith preached the
dedicatory sermon at the First Meth
odist church here. A twO-weeks' le
gal contest eliminated in an assault
upon the minister on the way to
church.
An attempt was made to dedicate
the church last Sunday morning. Elab-
crate arrangements had been made,
including a costly musical program,
for this is the newest and one of the
most expensive churches in the city.
When the congregation gathered last
Sunday morning they found the
church doors barred. Nailed to the
door was a court order prohibiting
the congregation and pastor from en-.
tering the church. 1t had been OBJ
tanned by c. F. Mckee, the contractor
who built the church. He alleged
there was $1,000 yet due on the
church for which satisfactory arrange.
ments for payment had not been
made.
In court McKees attorney, over
MCKee's protest, asked that the in
junction against the minister and his
| flock be dismissed. The court or.
dered Mckee to turn over the keys OF
the church to the trustees. Mckee
defied the court. Late last night

Mckee had not delivered the keys, he
was arrested for contempt Of court
He drove to Jail in his motor car, and
there he was stripped of his diamonds
and registered and measured After
three hours the keys to the church
were delivered to the trustees by a
friend Of Mckee and the latter was
released.
The dedicatory church services
were advertised to take place. While
the Rev. Mr.. Smith was on his way
to the church McKee's motor cal
pulled up at the curb. Mckee, Arthur
Snodgrass, McKee's secretary, ant
another man jumped out. A few
words passed and Snodgrass STRUCK
the minister in the face and he drop
ped to the sidewalk.

again. That occurred four times, ant

CITIES RUIN YOUTHS.
Charge by James Bronson Reynolds,
Reform Advocate, in New York.

New York, Jan. 25.-Big cities con-
spire to ruin their youth is the start
ling statement made by James Bron-
son Reynolds, now an assistant dis
trct attorney in New York City.
He knows whereof he speaks. He
has studied the great problems Of So
cial reform in Europe and at home.
When he returned from foreign study
to the United States, in 1893, he be-
came headworker in the University
Settlement, New York, and he was a
member of the tenement house COM

Later, after acting as secretary to

velt's presidential term.
Recently he has been one OF the
chief workers in the great crusade in
support of the Mann act and is at
present an assistant district attorney,
especially in charge OF prosecutions
growing out of this reform impulse.
Mr.. Reynolds speaks only Of condi
tons as they exist in New York, but
his views are applicable to any large
city in the United States.
Nine counts are mentioned in Mr.
Reynolds indictment of the big city as
home for youth:
Dreary solitude in teeming neighbor
hoods is the towns worst menace tc
its young.
Our cheap boarding houses are re
markably free from directly evil influ
ence, but they are generally cherries
Good food is a powerful moral agent
but it is hard to get
Young workers here embarrassed by
emergencies can meet them only
through the pawnbroker or loan shark
at interest which, if charged in Wal
street, would close the stock exchange
The city born and the young recruit
from the country are alike the victims
OF the Moloch of the town.

DEPEND ON FIRST BALLOT.
Campaign Managers Seek TO Round up
Enouuh Votes for This Purpose.

Washington, Jan. 25.--While the
popular demand for the nomination
OF Theodore Roosevelt continues to
increase, President Taft and his pc.
litical managers are redoubling their
efforts to round up sufficient instruct
ed delegates to give a majority OF the
convention on the first ballot.
The regular republicans who are
advising the president hope the Roose.
within the next few weeks, that then
a reaction will set in and Taft will be
the gamer in solid support.
The situation in the south and in
New York is giving the Taft manag.
ers particular concern. 1t appears
that all is not well in the south from
the administration point OF view. So
far not more than two or three south.
ern states have given satisfactory as
surance of sending to the national
convention delegations instructed for
the president There appears to be a
reluctance on the part OF the republi.
can leaders in the south to declare
for the president. This has led to a
suspicion that the southern republi'
cans prefer Roosevelt as a sure win
ner.
II looks as IL there Is going to be
the biggest kind OF fight over the
instruction of the New York delega'
ton for Taft. There also difficulties
have developed in the plans OF the
regulars to have the state convention
turn out Taft delegation. William
Barnes, jr., chairman OF the republi'
can state committee, has evidenced a
preference for an uninstructed dele
CATION.
Barnes has not been on good terms
leading up to the convention which
nominated Stimson for governor. Nor
is he friendly toward Roosevelt as a
result Of the same incident. He is
not in sympathy with La Toilette, but
might look with favor on Cummins
One report is to the effect that Barnes
is working to have the New York del
egation instructed for Associate Su'
preme Justice Hughes.
But the mere fact that Barnes is
harboring the idea of sending the New
York delegates to the convention unin-
structed has struck terror to the
hearts OF the Taft managers. The sit.
uation is such that, without New York
the president cannot count on going
into the convention with a majority OF
the delegates. The order has gone
out from the white house that it is i'm.
perative that the New York delega'
ton be instructed for the president
The instructions are to bring Barnes
to time and, if he proves obdurate, to
have him removed by the state con
vention as chairman OF the commit.
tee.
The candidacy of Senator Cummins
is attracting remarkable amount OF
interest in the east. There is nc
doubt that he would be acceptable to
conservative republicans generally
and everywhere there is speculation
as to his chance of being strong
compromise candidate. In the event
of the nomination Of Roosevelt, Sena
tor Cummins might be the choice for

Cerity of one or the other, and when
Gov. Wilson was asked the question,
he admitted that he regarded the sup.

stead OF an asset. Should he have
pretended that he thought Col. lIar-
vey was helping him when he was
not? And why should Col. Harvey
complain? II he really favors Gov.
Wilson he must desire TO aid him.
Why should he be offended then at
Gov. Wilson's frankness? Is he more
interested in being known as the man
who made Gov. Wilson famous than
in advancing Wilson's cause?
"Col. Harvey has shown no signs
OF conversion; II he communes with
Ananiases il is not with any con.
seriousness OF blindness. He has seen
no new light and when he does, he
will feel so ashamed OF his lifelong
fight against progressive democracy
that his first desire will be to bring
forth fruits meet for repentance; not
to assume leadership. 1t must pain
Gov. Wilson to break with old friends
