CHARITY IN TRUST is
CHARGED BY WRITER.

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-The existence
of charity trust, with the Russell
Sage foundation as its corner stone
and the crushing of the poor as its
object, is charged by Henry Neil, one
of the earliest advocates of the moth
ers' pension bill whose view aroused
the indignation of social workers
here today.
"The Russell Sage foundation said
Neil, sis forming large trust among
the charitable organizations of this
country and they will soon force the
poor women and children who have
been left destitute to work for lower
wages. / believe that is their ultimate
purpose"
Among the trustees of the Sage
foundation, are Helen Gould, Presl-
lent Gilman of the johns Hopkins
university and Cleveland Dodge, chair
man of the executive committee of
he trustees.
Neil has for long time been an
opponent of organized charities. He
ays they have broken up thousands
1f homes and made the lives of the
,oor more wretched.

BRAZILIAN UTOPIA PLANNED
BY BUNCH OF WILD-CATrERS

NEW YORK, Jan 23.-Thc thou
sands of discontented souls through
out the country who have become in
lerested in the Order of Right Eel
.ows and its beautiful scheme for the
establishment of Utopia on great
tract Of land in Brazil, $40 down and
Il 900 in monthly installments, will
be doubly interested today to learn
that Chief Postoffce Inspector War
rem w. Dickson and Jacintho Ferre-
ria de Cuba, the Brazilian consul gen
eral, are also interested. So much so,
in fact that the latter pair have ask
ed the officers of this extraordinary
enterprise to make full explanation
of their project.
Inspector Dickson's chief interest
lies in the use of the mails for the
collection of subscriptions to the fund
on which the wonderful dream Of the
city of Nueva Esparantza (new hope)
IS to be erected on the banks of the
Rio de La Plata, 80 odd miles from
Rio de Janeiro. The consul general
wants to know how it happened that
his government should have made the
grant of "a 1000 acres claimed by the
promoters of the scheme without his
knowing anything about it, it being
customary for governments the world
over to acquaint their foreign repre-
sentatives with little things like that.
There are six officers Of the Right
Fellows in this city, all of whom are
of more or less prominence. No
charges are made by the postoffice au-
thorities or by the Brazilian consul
general. They merely have instituted
an investigation. The officers Of the
project claim to have taken in no
money as yet, merely letters from
thousands of persons expressing inter
est in the schemes for establishing a
model city and cooperative colony in
Brazil.
The circulars distributed by the pro-
moters call for a $40 initiation fee
into the Order Of Right Fellows and
monthly payments toward the 81 ,0Oo
that each member of the projected
colony must raise before he or she car
enjoy its prospective blessings.

Basing their conclusions on the
early account of the event, given by
their daughters, the Misses Jennie
Elizabeth and Gladys Selleck who ro
side in Boulder, Mr.. and Mrs. George
Selleck decided that the tornado that
visited that city on Jan. 3 was only a
tame Oklahoma breeze that had stray
ed Colorado way and one that affect
ed the Selleck family not at all.
Last night letter from the young
ladies conveyed the information that
the storm that swept over the city
and left such ruin in its wake ma
tcrially affected the family. Their
bungalow was directly in the path OF
the storm, the porch was torn off and
completely demolished and portion
of the roof carried away.
A number of the young men stu
dents of the college came to the as
sistance of the young ladies and NOV
ed the furniture to the rooms that
still had roof protection.
Since the storm the occupants of
the house have been domiciled else
where while repairs were being made
Not until the work was completed
were the parents apprised of what
had happened. They write that now
they can look back upon the affair
and find some amusing features, al
the time it seemed a mighty serious

A MOTHERS THRILLING
ESCAPE FROM HOSPITAL

ST LOUIS, Jan. 23.- Breathless
nurses and attendants at the City
hospital today watched Mrs. Rebecca
Schdentch, mother of nine days,
climb sixty feet down a six-inch cop
per water spout running along the
vail Of the woman's building. They
we're afraid to call to the temporarily
crazed woman for fear she would be
come startled and loosen her hold
upon her precarious support.
With her hands grasping the small
pipe and her bare feet braced against
the wall, clad only in fluttering
white night grown which had become
drenched by the downpour of rain,
the woman came slowly from story
10 story until she finally stepped upon
the lawn.
Mrs. Schdentch is 2S years old. She
was sent to the hospital two weeks
ago and since the birth of her baby
nine days ago has been temporarily
insane. She at times was so violent
that she was strapped to a bed.
The window of the room she occu.
pied was eighteen inches from the wa
ter spout. The pipe is fastened to
the wall of the building by iron clasps
which are about ten feet apart. Aside
from these and the window ledges
there was nothing but the pipe itself
for the, woman to lay hold on in her
descent from the fifth floor to the
ground

NEARLY 1000 900 DIVORCES
GRANTED IN UNITED STATES

The Rev. Francis NJ. Moody, an ac-
tive agent of the movement to secure
national, or uniform divorce laws, laid
some divorce figures before con-
ference of the marriage and divorce
commission. Here are some of his
statistics:
Divorces granted in 1912 in the
United States, 100000. Children de-
prived of one or more parents by these
divorces, 10000.
Divorces in forty years:
In the United States, 1,S50,000.
Persons affected, 100000.
The Rev. Mr.. Moody asserts that
as New York sent over 2S,000 persons
to other states to get divorces not
legal in that state, New York's score
should be over 10000. He said that in
twenty years 100000 out of 100000
divorces in the United States had been
effected by change Of residence to
states with easy divorce laws.
