IMMORTALITY BLAMED
ENTIRELY ON MEN
Stanley W. Finch, of Department of
Justice, However, Opposes School
Members Taking Pledge.

While Stanley W. Finch. Of the De-
partment of Justice. expresses himself as
believing that the only means by which
the social evil can be abolished is in
ducing men to pledge themselves to re-
frain from immortality. He opposed the
motion that members of the School OF
Social Welfare sign a similar pledge, at
a meeting of the School of Social Wei
fare, in the Public Library last night
II was pointed out by one member that
as the members themselves would re-
quest other men to sign the pledge, il
would be well for them to be able to
say they had already signed il when
questioned by the man they had ap-
preached Mr.. Finch objected again on
the grounds that ii was unnecessary.
Mr.. Finch laid the entire blame for
the social evil with men, and declared
that until men are reformed there is
no hope for the adjustment Of immor-
atty. The consensus of opinion among
the members of the school was that

Mother jones Tells
OF Mine CONDITIONS
Woman Just Returned from Fields in
West Virginia Makes Ad-
dress Here.
SENATOR ARRAIGNED

Mother Jones told last night at Ma
tionaI Rifles Armory. the story of her
experiences in West Virginia among the
striking coal miners. She carried her
audience from laughter. when she foiled
an attempt by Representative Frank
Buchanan to leave the platform, to rage
when she spoke of the conduct of q
United States Senator. During most OF
her speech, Mother Zones spoke above
murmurs of applause or anger.
Secretary of Labor Wilson was on the
platform during the speech of Mother
Jones. but did not make speech.
At the conclusion of Mother Jones sd-
dress a resolution was passed protesting
against the conditions in West virginia
and asking that the Committee on Labor
and Education of the United States Sen
ate investigate fully charges brought
against mine operators.
John b. CoIpoys, secretary of the Gen.
trail Labor Union. was in charge OF the
meeting Frank Phelan was introduced
by Mr.. Colpoys.
Representative Buchanan said. in part:
The miners and workers of West Viz
ginia have been denied most of the
rights guaranteed them by the Constitu-
ton. When confronted by such condl-
tions as these. the American people
should think, and think seriously. The
miners have been cheated by their en-
blowers. They have been called Social
lists when they struck, anarchists when
they have turned Socialists, and II con-
ditions are not relieved they will be
driven to real anarchy.
Mother Jones expressed grstihcation
that she has been termed notorious
character. In reply to a cry that jail
was too good for United States Sena-
Tor whom Mother Jones criticised. she
said that she intended driving him to
hell" West Virginia, according to Moth
er Jones. could give cards and spades

class man for persistence in smoking and
other breaches of the rules.
1t happened about a month ago. Sub
sequently the twenty-three lads drafted
petition and forwarded 1t to Secre-
tary OF Labor Wilson. asking for Glenn
ency in behalf of young Meyers. The
petition happened to fall into the hands
of Secretary of the Navy Daniels, who
forwarded a letter to Supt. Gibbons, of the
Naval Academy, in which he expressed
his disapproval of such action on the
part of the students. stating that 1t was
in absolute opposition to good order and
discipline.
Capt Gibbons promptly promulgated
the order before the brigade of midship-
men. which embodied the letter of the
Secretary. with appended remarks from
the superintendent to the effect that the
offending students will be given special
instructions during the cruise in order
that in future they will not be able to
plead ignorance of nor show such disre-
gard for the naval regulations. The spe-
cial test is to be given September 1.

TREATY WITH ENGLAND
WILL BE RENEWED
Secretary of State Bryan Says Pacts
with a Number Of Governments
Will Be Extended.

Secretary of State Bryan said yester-
day that arrangements had been made
with the British government. through
its Amha ssador here, for the renewal OF
the general arbitration treaty which ex-
pires next month. The subject has been
taken up by Mr.. Bryan with Sir Arthur
Spring-Rice. the British Ambassador
Similar treaties with other governments,
which expire during the coming summer,
will also be renewed, according to Mr..
Bryan.
The British treaty is regarded with
especial Importance at this time, because
Great Britain has suggested the arbitra-
ton of the Panama Canal tolls contro-
versy under the terms of the treaty
about TO expire. Confirmation of the
treaty by the Senate is required, but as
the Senate has already approved of the
renewal of the arbitration treaty with
France. no difficulty is anticipated in
securing Senate acquiescenCe to the re-
newal of the British treaty.

GLACIERS OF THE ALASKAN COAST
Some Are Retreating But Many Are
Growing Larger.

1t is very probable that more Ameri.
can travellers are familiar with the pic
turesque fords and glaciers of Scandi-
navia than have viewed the incompar-
able scenery of their own Alaska, where
the somber inlets are bounded by sheer
and towering cliffs and where the great
fields of slow moving snow-ice lose them
selves in some bay or inlet or pitch off
suddenly into the ocean itself. The
stream Of visitors to this splendid Amer
lean scenery is annually increasing in
numbers, and TO those who indorse the
See America First program Alaska Of
fers a magnificent field.
Alaska glaciers were probably first
known as the result of Captain Cook IS
and Admiral Nancouyer's exploration in
l77s and 1894, some Of the maps of the
early yoyagers showing that certain OF
the bays or fiords were ended by vertical
walls of ice, from which blocks fell into
the sea. In more recent years discus
sions OF these huge glaciers have been
given in the reports OF Dali, Gilbert,
Tsrr, Brooks. Grant, Mendenhall, Martin
and others, of the United States geo.
logical survey, and in the publications
of such organizations as the National
Geographic society and the Hartman
Alaska expedition
The most recent contribution on the
great glaciers of Alaska is bulletin 500 of
the United States geological survey,
Coastal Glaciers OF Prince William
Sound and kenai Peninsula Alaska" by
L. $. Grant and ID. f. Higgins. The re-
port is profusely Illustrated with photo
graphs and with maps of the individual
glaciers. as well as two comprehensive
maps of Prince William sound and the
southwestern part of Renal peninsula,
showing the location OF scores OF gla-
ciers. The report is in fact guide and
handbook to this wonderful scenic re-
gion which must prove invaluable to the
tourist.
Many valuable data and important
measurements of glaciers in the United
States, Alaska, and elsewhere have been
brought together from time to time, and
it is probably the general impression
that since the vast ice sheet which COW
cred the northern part of North America
began it's retreat the glaciers of the con-
tinent have been continually shrinking
Ii is therefore interesting TO note from
the Illustrations and descriptions in bull
letin J26 that some of these Alaskan gla.
ciers are progressing and growing larger
rather than retrogressing, many huge
forests being upturned and devastated
by the irresistible advance of the ice. In
other glaciers the retreat within a peri
cd of 10 years has been more than
mile The great magnitude of some of
these glaciers is seen in the descrip-
4 II. -. - a
tidal ice cliffs that form the termini of
the glaciers as being from 800 to 400 feet.
Slowly moving down the mountain val
leys, some of them steeply pitched and
Others relatively fiat, these stupendous
ice fields include billions of tons of ice.

WAS HIT BY LIGHTNING.
Yet C. p. Stickney of Brookline, VT,
Lives to Tell of 1t.

Yet Z. 7. Stickney OF bro0kllne, VIZ
Lives to Tell of 1t.
Through some miracle C. p Stickney
of Brookline, well-known dairy farm
er and producer of sugar maple goods
under the firm name of c. r, Stickney &
Son, escaped electrocution when a bolt
of lightning struck him the evening of
July Is, and although he was burned
seriously he is making good recovery.
After hearing the facts one scarcely can
understand how he happened to escape
death.
The bolt traversed FIVE miles of the
telephone wire, shutting out / tele
phones and at the Baptist parsonage
melted the water pipe in the cellar. At
the round schoolhouse il melted the tele-
phone wire. In entering the house of G..
p. Stickney il destroyed the utility of the
wire and made complete wreck of the
telephone. terrorizing the family. Hors-
es standing in nearby stable jumped
from the floor.
Mr.. Stickney sitting in his arm chair
in the dining room, was struck uncon-
scious, but recovered. The bolt tore
open the shirt sleeve on the left arm,
opened the left trouser leg in several
places and ripped the top of the left
Shoe. The bolt made a blistering burn
in several places on the left arm and
pa ssed to the left side of the body, COW
ering nearly one-third of that side,
thence down the left leg, leaving several
large scorched eruptions of the skin, and
at the ankle tore the skin nearly three
inches. 1t burned a hole through the
sole of the shoe.
The current also crossed the abdomen
and went down the right leg, leaving a
scorched trail, and passed out through
the sole of the right shoe.
Mr. Stickney says he fought the hard
est fight for life during the night in his
life. He saws that the white of an egg
beaten up and blown on the blistering
burns surpasses all other remedies used
in alleviating the intensity of the pain.
He was about the house at first. but
during the healing process he is keeping
quiet on the bed or couch and has no
reason TO expect that he will not fully
recover. DIR. w. F. Robbie, a nearby
neighbor, rendered valuable service.

APPLE CROP APPEARS LIGHT.
Hampden County Improvement League
Inquiries About 1t.

The Hampden county tMass.l, inn
provement league already has handled
many barrels for the fruit growers in
that and neighboring counties, thus saw
ing them at least two cents per barrel
and also saving them between three and
four cents on freight per barrel by get
ting their neighbors together and order
ing their necessary barrels in carload
lots. The league reports that many of
the largest and best growers report very
light crops of apples this year Many
causes are given for this condition; the
most common reason given for light
yield is the great damage done by late
spring frosts, which caught the apples
while they were in bloom. Many early
apples were frozen after they were set.
The apple scab is doing considerable
damage all over the county The codling
moth, plum curculio, apple maggots and
San Jose scale are all taking their usual
annual share of the apple and other
fruit crops. Continued drouth is affect
ing sod orchards, but those which are
being well cared for do not seem to
show any serious damage by drouth.
The league desires to advise fruit
growers and others who are contemplate
ing purchasing new apple barrels this
year that they can be purchased through
the league during the next ten days for
80 cents per barrel and probably four or
five cents cheaper than the same bar
rels can be bought as the harvest sea-
son of apples approaches. The league
claims that these barrels are as good as
any samples which have been received
at the Office, ii not better
Much help is also being given fruit
growers by saving them from per
cent. to 80 l-3 per cent. on all baskets,
apple boxes, packing accessories, ladders,
etc, which they need for the adequate
handling of this years crop.

Another case of the malignant throat
trouble that has puzzled the physicians
and others in the vicinity of Readsboro
during the past few months has ended
fatally in the death OF Harold Shippee,
who died Monday night at the home of

man went to Readsboro about two
months ago and secured employment in

he was seized with heart paralysis. He
