AT WORK FOR CHILDREN
Miss Lathrop Outlines Plans of
New u. S. Bureau.

Washington. Oct. 2-What part the
government will play I'm the movement
for the promotion OF child welfare through
the new Children's Bureau was outlined
to-day by Miss Julia c. Lathrop, its d.
rector, authorized by Congress TO investl-
gate and report upon all matters pertain
ing to the welfare of children and child
life among all classes Of the American
people. Miss LathrOp and her assistants
will first concentrate their efforts on
bringing together existing material so as
to make q thorough survey of the field
and avoid duplicating work already done.
The plans include the issuing of a hand
book Of statistics on children: gathering
Of literature relating TO children; the es-
Enlistment OF clearing house for In
formation regarding state legislation af-
fecting children; original investigation OF
infant mortality, and Issuing OF brief
popular pamphlets for the public. Tho
bureau has no power to do administrative
work.
The Children's Bureau, provided by
Congress this year, was first suggested
by Miss lillian D. Ward, head OF the
Nurses Settlement in New York. Miss
Lathrop has been widely known as a 30
cial worker and now is the highest sala-
ried woman in the government service.

After having a bath, shave and sham

chino and manicure treatment, John VIII
ner who was arrested last Saturday In
the Hotel Somerset. Manhattan, In con-
nectIon with the robbery Of jewels from
Mrs Belle Schreyer, In New Rochelle, on
October 1s, was taken before Judge Swim
burne In New Rochelle yesterday, charged
with receiving stolen property and with
robbery I'm the first degree. The charge
~ receiving stolen goods was dis
pissed and Wilmer who was then ar
roigred on the second charge, pleaded
not guilty. An adjournment was taken
until November g Wilmer said before
going back to his cell that he could prove
an alibi. Mrs. Schreyer, who Is reputed
10 be wealthy, was not in court. Her son
reported that she was too Ill to attend the
hearing.
Robert Miller, Of No. 1858 Broadway
Manhattan. who was with Mrs. Schreyer
when she was held up, and who has made
a confession that he and Wilmer hau
nIotted TO rob the widow, did not appear
either.

HAS TO PAY ALIMONY AT IS
Wife Asked for 500 a Week,
but Is to Get ONLY SIS.

Deane Larrabee Weaver, who is q little
more than Is years old, was examined be-
tore Justice Greenbaum yesterday as to
ms ability to pay his wife, Mrs. Florence
Shortle Weaver, 500 week alimony and
$50 as counsel fees pending the wifes
suit for a separation. One cogent reason
why he finds 1t impossible to pay this
allowance is that he receives salary Of
only s. as runner for the banking firm
OF Spencer, Trask & Co. Weaver
said that his income was further in
creased by $50 a year. which he receives
from his father, the Rev. Thomas II.
Weaver
Weaver's wife, who is about the same
age as her husband, said in her applica-
ton for allmony that he was receiving
$50 a week. They were married at the
home Of an aunt of Mrs. Weaver at
Watervliet, n. Y, without the knowledge
Of the young mans parents. The latter
refused to receive their daughter-in-law,
whereupon Weaver took his young wife
20 a furnished apartment where he did
not remain long. One day he packed his
grip, and leaving 30 cents for his wife TO
live on he went to Long Beach, where
he wrote several letters telling his wife
what great time he was having, while
she was living with her mother.
Mrs. Weaver has based her suit on the
grounds OF cruelty and abandonment.
Weaver said under examination, that he
never drank and never bought a drink for
any one else Justice Greenbaum decided
that Weaver must give his entire salary
OF IS a week as alimony to his Wife, and
also must pay her $50 for counsel fees.

Violence in Suffrage
Movement Denounced

United States. All these actual victories
and indications Of further victories in the
near future have been won Oord Acton
Notwithstanding without violence of any
kind.
AT the outset, so long as the militant
suffra gists confined themselves merely to
sensational and eccentric means of propa-
ganda they could hardly be looked upon
as a physical force party; they undoubt-
eddy did service TO our common cause by
making the claims of women more widely
known: there is probably hardly village.
hardly a family in which the claims Of
women 10 share in the representative sys-
tenn of the country has not been eagerly
discussed. This to a very large extent we
owe to the activities Of the "militants.'
But when they departed from the atu-
tude they first adopted Of suffering vio-
lence but using none, In my Judgment,
they put themselves in the wrong morally.
and. II Judged from the point Of View or
practical success, have put back the cause
rather than promoted 1t.
Forty twenty-six years, from 1886 to
1912, women's suffrage was never once
defeated in the House Of Commons. The
Cancellation BILL which had been carried
in second reading in 1911 by majority
of 316 to 143 after a truce from mill
fancy Of nearly eighteen months, was de-
feated In 1912 by a narrow majority.
This was very largely due to the intense
indignation and resentment caused by the
window smashing outrages which had
taken place a few weeks earlier.
The carrying of a women's suffrage
amendment to the government reform bill
is the next stage either Of victory or de-
feat which awaits us. II militancy Is re-
newed defeat is almost certain. The aY-
erage man Is not convinced Of the value
of comforting full citizenship on women
by hearing of tradesmen's windows being
broken. or Of attempts TO set houses and
theatres on fire. The militants often
claim that a display Of physical violence
is the only way to success. This, I main
tain, is a wholly mistaken reading Of the
facts. Our victories have been won
through convincing large masses or quiet
sensible average men and women that the
citizenship Of women would be good To-
women themselves and for the state as a
whole. We can point to the activities OF
such women as Julia Ward Howe and
Jane Adams in the United States. OF
Florence Nightingale and Josephine But
Ter in Great Britain. and can more and
more convince our countrymen Of the fu-
tility and absurcity and the loss to the
community Of excluding such women and
women at large from the rights OF citizen

An Englis h W o man Says
Militant Policy is Re-
tarding Cause"

There have been some evidences in re-
cent cable dispatches from London that
the violent methods Of the English mill
tant suffragettes are causing much dis
agreement among the adherents OF the
cause" Itself Additional testimony of
this fact is contained in an article written
for the November number of THE Cen
fury Magazine" by Milicent Garrett Faw-
cett, president of the National Union OF
Womens Suffrage Societies Great
Britain).
Explaining that she writes from the
standpoint of those who regard the
womens movement for political freedom
as incomparably the most important
political fact of the present day, she adds:
II regard the militants as misguided
enthusiasts, and believe at this moment
they are the most dangerous obstacles in
the way Of the immediate success of our
cause in England"
In regard to the argument that mems
political movements toward freedom have
nearly always been accompanied by con-
fused noise and garments rolled In Blood
Mrs. Fawcett says:
yet notwithstanding all presidents to
the contrary, but just because men are
men and women are women, the women's
movement toward freedom did progress
and progress marvellousy for the first
half OF the nineteenth century till about
six years ago without the use OF any kind
Of violence. We shot no one, we exploded
no bombs, we destroyed nothing; but We
have been building up and creating new
social order in which the women of to-day
occupy a wholly different and better
place from that occupied by the women
Of preceding ages. The universities have
been opened; girls schools have been
made over again. and made different; the
medical and, in many countries, the legal,
professions have been opened; municipal
and all other local franchises in Great
Britain and her colonies have been won /;
women have been made eligible for cleo
ton on all local governing bodies; the civil
service has been opened; the barbarity Of
medieval laws founded on the absolute
subsection OF women In marriage has been
modified; full parliamentary suffrage has
been won for women in New Zealand and
Australia, in Finland and Norway, in
Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Wash

frage amendments have been recommend

CHILD LABOR LAW CRUDE
Workers Between IA and 10
Not Protected.

There is a blot on the fair name Of the
child labor law. Mrs. z. j. OConnel
stood up in meeting yesterday at the
vocational guidance conference at the
Hebrew Technical School for GIFTS
and
NO. I did not attack the child labor
law" she objected. II merely said that
IL Was strange that 80 good a law should
have such apparently disastrous results
II hasn't worked out as Its promoters
cxpected. They we're idealists-dream-
ers-and they expected mill owners to
live ND TO the spirit OF the law, not the
letter. That IS the flaw In II.
THE actual result Of the child labor
law, however, Is to make It harder Tor
the fourteen year-old child to get a po-
sition than II was before. The law says
a child under sixteen shall work only
eight hours a day, from O'Clock 10 D.
with one hour at noon Tor lunch ana
rest In most factories, however, the
enployes work from o'clock TO $3.50
and have only half an hour for lunch.
rho result is that the better class Of
employers Will not take children uhder
siyteen because Of the inconvenience OF
having two sets of workers with differ
ent time schedules. So the children VINO
leave school must work in the less desir-
able factories or in unregulated trades
All agreed that tho child worker be-
tween the ages OF fourteen and sixteen
was a hopeless problem, and then the
conference developed into a controversy
of What TO DO with the
hopeless problem. Miss Bertha Nj ste
yers, director Of the Cooperative EN-
ployment Bureau, Of Cleveland said that
the only solution was compulsory educa-
,iop IN to the age of sixteen.

ROBIN DEPosIToRs COMPLAIN
Ask for Grand Jury Action Regard
ing Morris and Wood.

A committee of the depositors Of the
Washington Savings Bank, OF which
Joseph G.. Robin, who has pleaded guilty
to grand larceny, was formerly the presi-
dent called on District Attorney Whitman
Yesterday. They asked him to have the
grand jury inquire into statements made
Inv Frederick X Norris vice-president or
the Fidelity Development Company and
James 4. Wood, formerly vice~presldent
Of the Washington Savings Bank.
The committee said they believed that
Morris I'm civil suits had given testimony
at variance with that given when Robin
was indicted, and that Wood had put his
signature to an affidavit relating to the
credit of the bank which it was later
found was untrue. The depositors thought
there should be some more Indictments
G. ID Usinger, chairman of the commit
tee reported that the District Attorney
had already started an additional inquiry
into The AFFAIRS of the bank and was con
sidering charges against other persons
than Robin.

TEA AND TALK, NOT TAGS
Both Wilson and Taft Women
Plan New ENTERPRISES.

The Women's National Wilson and
Marshall League has gone into the re-
freshment business. II is to have 20 per
cent of the proceeds Of a pretty little tea
rooms that has Just been fitted up in CON-
nection with the restaurant on the ground
floor OF the Fifth Avenue Building. on
the tenth floor of which are the head
quarters of the league. Tho tearoom
was ready yesterday but won't be really
opened till this afternoon.
To-day and every afternoon hereafter
until Election Day. some young and
pretty members OF the league will be on
duty in the tearoom, not handling the
cups exactly, but lending eclat to the
place.
An afternoon tea, consisting OF sand
witches, cakes, ice cream sometimes, and
tea, coffee or chocolate, is to be served,
any time from 2:3O o'clock until ; for the
sum of 80 cents. And 10 cents OF each 80
will be handed over TO the Democratic
women.
The womans department Of the Repub-
lican National Committee is going 10
start a new feature to-day too, but IL
isn't afternoon tea, its afternoon talk.
For days they have noticed how many
young women came into the Wage Dollar
Exhibit the Republicans have at No Il
Union Square. and how they come esUe-
cially between and o'clock p. m, when
the shops and factories closed. 1t seemed
a shame, they thought. not to pour some
Republican arguments into these girls
ears while they had them there.
So, for the girls benefit, a meeting will
be held at No. IL Union Square every
afternoon from o'clock until I. Miss
Mary Wood. secretary Of the woman's
department, will be the speaker to-day.

EYELID PRICERS DISAGREE
Another Jury Will Have to Con-
slider Suit of Actress.

Jury in the Supreme Court was un-
able TO reach an agreement yesterday on
the value OF an eyelid to an emotional
actress.
Mrs. Bertha Westbrook Reid sued Al
bert Plaut, president of Lehn & Fink
manufactu chemists for $4,000 dam
ages for injuries she received when the
defendants automobile ran into her own.
She alleged that the lower lid OF her
right eye was permanently injured IN the
accident, and this made It impossible for
her to get engagements for the portraying
OF emotional roles.
Daniel Frohman, as a witness for the
plaintiff. told how important the eyelid
was in the portraying OF emotion. and de-
clared that the injury to Mrs. Reid would
no an obstacle to her receiving engage
ments
The question will be submitted to twelve
other Jurors.
