HELPING ROUND UP
MISSING HUSBANDS

James r. Motion. of Glasgow, Scotland,
inspector of the poor, has issued an in
teresting memorandum to his parish
council, on emigration as a contributory
cause of family desertion. He shows
that since 1905, when an agency was
opened in Glasgow, which undertook to
advance transportation to men wishing
to take employment in a large railway
undertaking in Canada, more than $40
families of emigrants. involving LIZ de-
pendents, had applied to the parish for
relief.
Mr. Motion recommends that the gov
ernment allow emigration of married men
without their families only under condi-
ton of constant and regular reporting to
some constituted authority, with depor-
tation on evidence of family desertion.
Similar circumstances are a frequent
cause OF desertion in the United States
especially among men who come here
from nom English speaking countries. ex-
pecting to send for their wives and fam
lilies as soon as they are able. In such
cases by the time they have done enough
work here for this they have begun to
like the ways of this country, some wo-
man more accustoped to the surround
ings attracts them, and all intention Of
bringing over the far-on wife. who would
seem strange IN tne must Ol tne lie
here, is abandoned.
The first report of the National Deser-
tiSn Bureau of the National Conference
Of Jewish Charities shows that 1t has
handled many such cases from Russia,
reconciling some after the family has
followed the husband, and forcing others
to support the family by arrest and legal
procedure here, which might be the best
way for the Glasgow officials.
Most of the work of the National De-
sertion BureaYe however. relates to in
terstate deserters. and the results show
what can be accomplished by systematic
ally employing the forces of existing
laws. Within year, So cases in all have
been handled by this bureau. In 56l
cases. or 66 per cent. the deserter was
located. and in 326 cases he was either
persuaded to return home or forced to
contribute to his family's support. The
most effective means in locating these
deserters has been the publication each
week in the leading Yiddish papers
throughout this country and Canada of
photographs and descriptions Of some of
the men, as a gallery Of missing hus-
bands" This often brings immediate in
formation Of their whereabouts.-The

HOW CHURCH PENSION PLAN
Is TO BENEFIT CLERGYMEN

The pension system for clergymen Of
the Protestant Episcopal Church. as pro-
posed by its joint commission on the
support Of the clergy. is a tentative one
and is subject to notifications as fur.
ther facts of investigation may indicate.
After study of the statistics gathered
widely in regard to the need and the
resources of the church. recommenda-
tions are made as follows:
81. An annuity to a clergyman at
sixty-five, or thereabouts. upon resigna-
ton, Of the stipend attached to his
Office, based upon his length of service
and stipend. The rate has been fixed
as 1 IA per cent of his total ecclesias-
teal stipend received since ordination
To a clergyman ordained at the usual
age and retiring at what seems the ap-
propriate age, this would give approx.
mately so per cent Of his average an
nual stipend. II ordination were later
and retirement earlier, the annuity
would be correspondingly leH. as it
would likewise be diminished by periods
of other than strictly ecclesiastical ac-
tivity. The maximum would be 80 per
cent of the annual avera-e stinend. M

Where English Military Bands Are Trained

1857 until his own death In 1853, one Of
the teachers Of the bass brass instru-
ments was a military bandmaster named
Sullivan. It was to his memory that
was afterward dedicated a weil-known
In Memoriam" overture composed by
his distinguished son. Doubtless Sir
Arthur Sullivan owed not a little of his
ability in scoring for wood and brass
TO his opportunities of knocking about
among bandsmen at Kneller Hall in his
youth.
II today the assistance of a regimental
band is an unfailing attraction at exhibi-
tons and fetes, not only in London, but
in all parts Of the country, the credit is
largely due to the good work that has
been done at Kneller Hall all these years
in the training both of bandsmen and of
bandmasters. The experiment. too, has
received the compliment or limitation,
for il was as the result of visit paid
to this institution by several dis
tinguished German officers in 1884 that a
school on somewhat similar lines was
established shortly afterward in '.musi-
cal Germany"

IRELAND's DREYFUs CASE.
From the New York World.

From the New York World
In June, 1907. certain crown Jewels, in
cluding the Kings regalia of the Order
of st. Patrick. were stolen from Dublin
Castle. Sir Arthur Wears. who succeeded
Sir Bernard Burke. of .'Burke's Peerase"
fame. as Ulster King -at-Arms. was their
custodian British justice has found no
way TO satisfy Wears urgings that the
truth about the theft be made public.
An inquiry was begun in February.
1905. but Sir Arthur resigned from the
commission and refused to appear as a
witness when he learned that its sessions
would not be public nor its inquest
thorough. He was forced to resign ONCE
for negligence. The people regarded him
as a scapegoat. Reports appear from
time to time that the jewels are pawned.
that they have been returned, and so on;
but no official statement has been made.
Last May Sir Arthur won a libel YER
dict of $4,000 from a London weekly
which stated that he had shielded a
lady at the expense Of his own reputa-
ton" This court victory is all the vim
dication he has been able to secure.
The case was revived last month when
Filson Young printed in the London Out
look that Sir Arthur was victimized by
..group of young gentlemen adventur-
ers of a very unpleasant type. who came
to him with perfectly good Iintroductions
and held high revels in his office with
some details as to duplicate keys. Sir
Arthur's counsel deny the whole story.
Tbey add that the facts would have
been clearly demonstrated II he had been
accorded the public and judicial inquiry
which he asked for and is still anxious
20 obtain"
In the face Of such challenge the
pritish government and administration
of Justice will probably continue to ig-
more a theft from the nation; and no
plausible reason for the neglect has been
susrested except fear that the truth
might uncover plotters too highly placed.

PEARL FORMING PROPERTIES.

Paris Correspondents Of the New YORK Sun
A novel treatment for tuberculosis Is
being studied by Prof. Raphael Dubois
Of Lyon. For the present he refrains
from drawing any Conclusions or making
any predictions from the experiments he
has made. Prof. Dubois has made a spe-
cial study of the r-ture and formation OF
pearls, is was on his suggestion that
the use of N-ray to discover which
oysters contained pearls was adopted.
The pearl is. according to his theory.

to protect itself from an invading para.
site. This parasite is frequently OF
verminous nature, so that the pearl is
but the brilliant coffin of a worm, but in
many cases the parasite 10 a micro

argued that 1t is only necessary to en-
rich a tuberculous body in chalk to allow
the calcareous secretions to take the
place of the destructive LESSONS due to
the Koch bacilli.
1t has been found. however. that GER

WHAT DIR. SHELDON MEANT
BY PROTESTANT CONFESSIONAL

The Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon's notior
Of Protestant Confessional seems g
little disconcerting at first. but really
there is nothing novel in il, says the
Portland Oregonian. In fact he says
himself that the idea Is an old one His
plan Is to set aside IN hour or two on
Sunday afternoon when his flock comes
to him with their troubles. He gives
them good advice and comforts their af.
fiictions
What else have worthy pastors been
doing from the beginning CT the church
The Old-fashioned pastoral visits
which have now lapsed into desuetude
We're to carry out this very notion of a
confessional" The minister went to his
peoples homes instead of inviting them
to his. and dispensed the consultations
and wisdom of his Office to all who
needed II. In these latter days it is said
that the minister's other business has be-
come so burdensome that he has been
obliged to forego pastoral visiting wha,
possible business" could be more essen.
tial to the prosperity of the kingdom
This form of the confessional will have
no terrors, We imagine. for any of the
Protestant denominations. The more
ministers put 1t in practice the better il
will be liked.
But of course Mr.. Seldom really mis-.
appleS the WORD confessional IL re-
fers properly to the confession of sin and
the priestly function of absolution
There can be nothing of this in the
Protestant churches since it is one of the
points of fundamental difference between
them and the Catholics. 1t is also worth
while to remark that before a minister
can give wise advice to his flock upon
business and domestic troubles he must
himself become a practical man. The
education which most theological schools
impart is apt TO unfit their students for
any such duty.
This is. no doubt, one of the main rea-
sons why pastoral visiting has fallen into
disuse. The pastors were not prepared
to make 1t anything better than All

get rid Of II. The old-time Protestant
minister Of New England measured

Justice Once Again Fail. in Korea.


The high hopes for justice to Baron
Yum Chi Ho and his five Korean COM
patriots raised when Supreme Judge
watanabe reversed their conviction by
the Court of Appeals are unhappily not
realized in the second decision OF the
latter court. following the retrial which
Judge watanabe ordered. The finding OF
the Supreme Justice observed that the
defendants had been convicted of con-
spiracy to assassinate the Governor Gen.
eral without proof of any overt act aim
ing to carry the conspiracy into effect,
and the offense charged in the indictment,
he held. was not legally established until
proof of some such active effort was pre-
sented. On this ground the verdict OF
guilty in the courts below was vacated
and a new trial required.
All this appeared TO offer the perse-
cuted baron and his fellow-prisoners an
excellent assurance of liberty. for the
government had already exhausted the
utmost effort to incriminate the defend
ants. Moreover, in effect. II not explicit

alleged confessions Of the prisoners on

tear up the web of falsehood.
