MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi. November T.
Public immortality Is q problem vfth

best S. Gernert OF Now York in the
principal address at the opening session
Of the International Purity Congress here
today.
The federal government Is doing great
work I'm this field. but II Is seriously
Handicapped by the limitations Of the
Constitution. the large territory 20 bs

police powers are unlimited, while tbs
outlay by each to control the evil would
be comparatively small.

In our plan of government this duty de-
wolves upon the various states. and today

insurance and our boards Of pablo safe1v.
Field Practically Untouchsd
But not so with public morality. We
have left this field practically untouched.
and yet It is by far the mos important.
In many of the states the laws on mo-
rality are very lax, II is often difficult
and sometimes quite impossible to have
some Of them enforced. and yet no one
pays much attention to this absurd state
OF affairs
"A commission OF morals should be e.
tablished in each state whose duty Il
would be to take cognizance Of the morals
OF the people, TO aid in the enforcement
OF all laws directed agfnst vice and to
work for the best moral conditions IN
factories. schools, dance halls and other
places"
Policewoman Here to Stay.
Mrs Alice Stebbins Wells of the Los
Angeles police department said:
The policewoman has come in answer
to modern needs. and she has come to
stay-not to disp.ace men. but to supple.
ment their work. For countess ages the
business world was a mans world. with
women and children secluded In the home.

be such women in every city"

WORST STRIKE IN HOUSE,

Uprisings.

There Is a bad strike in Colorado;
there Ia bad strike in Michigan; there
is a bad strike In Indianapolis-but there
Is a worse strike in the House Of Repre-
sentatives: and as for me. I am going to
do my best to break It.
Thus Representative Mann. strike

addressed himself to the ninety members
Of the House today when Representative
Heating of Colorado endeavored for an
hour to get the House to pass a resolu-

seven counties of his state.
House Strikers Get Pay.

business or not. Perhaps that is why
the strike Is SO hard to break. AS for
me, intend to keep on trying to get
quorum here to pass such needed
resolutions as this"
Representative Mann blocked the Keat-
ing resolution. although he admitted the
serious labor situations In Colorado and
elsewhere. The resolution, now in the
hands of the rules committee. asks for
an investigation of nine phases OF the
Colorado strike. including the suggestion
that the postal facilities are being OBJ
structed; immigration and naturalization
laws being violated In the coal fields, and
coercion on the part of employers in the

Covarrubias Is Named
as Possible Successor
to Huerta in Mexico

Receipt of word here that Gen. Huerta
has refused to give up the presidency Of
Mexico at this time, taken in connection
with the fact that the Mexican congress
meets Monday to pass on the recent cleo
tons. and the arrival Of John Lind In
Mexico City. was taken here today to
mean that some definite outcome of the
present tense situation is at hand.
The Berlin dispatches referring to a
plan to recall Minister Covarrubias, rep
resentative of Mexico at st. Petersburg,
that he might be appointed minister of
foreign affairs and succeed to the pro-
visional presidency in succession to
Huerta, created more than little In
terest among diplomatists and other OBJ
servers of the situation. Covarrubias
recently resigned. but was asked to con-
tinue at his post until a successor was
appointed.
He is a relative of Juan Sanchez AZ
coma, private secretary to the late Presi-
dent Madero, who is now connected with
the Carranza movement and Is said by
constitutionalist agents here to be one OF
the few men who would be acceptable to
them while regular elections were being
held,

Hope for No Trouble.

That the Mexican crisis will pass with
out any real trouble with the United
States was confidentally hoped in ON
cial circles here, but the movements OF
American armed vessels within the last
few days was thought to Indicate that
the administration here wants to be pre-
pared for any eventuality.
Mexicans in Washington today expected
the situation to change materially before
Sunday morning or on Monday at the
latest, whenthe newly elected congress
is expected to meet to pass on the recent
elections.
President Wilson's cabinet met today
for the first time in several weeks. All
the secretaries except Garrison and Will

Business College Heads Are
Fined for Operating I'm
licensed Business
TO CIRCUIT COURT
THE PROBLEM WILL GO
Defendants Claim They Teach Ele-
mentary Branches of Learning
and Should Be Exempt From
City License Tax

Holding that the business colleges of
Birmingham ARE commerciai institu-
lions and run for .'revenue only" Judge
A. vi. Douglass of the recorders court
imposed n fine OF $50 against stephen
A. Ellis of the Spencer Business col
lege and willard j. Wheeler of the
wheeler Business college for doing
business without license. Richard
w. Massey, against whom n similar
charge was made, was not present and
his cnse was continued until wednes-
day morning.
An appeal to the circuit court was
taken I'm both cases.
The cases against the business colleges
have attracted some attention and are
unique in that Birmingham is the only
city In the south that exacts license or
privilege tax from such institutions. City
Tax Collector Boggan was advised that
the business colleges We're liable for Ii
censes and made demand, to that effect,
which was refused and he had the own
ers of the colleges put under bond. Briefs
had been furnished Judge Douglass be-
fore rendering his decision yesterday
The contention of the defendants is that
they are conducting educational institu-
lions and that they are engaged in teach
ing the elementary branches of learning
and that they are exempt as are other
schools. 1t was shown that they were
exempt from personal property taxation
by the state, and that the state did not
require any license tax from this class
of institutions,
Judge Douglass held that the city had
the right to levy tax on all business or
professions and that as the business col
leges were commercial institutions and
sold books, stationery and school sup
plies they were as much liable to license
tax as the stationer or lawyer or any
other professional. man. He stated there
was a distinction between the exemption
of personal property by the state and
the levying of privilege tax by the
city, and ruled that the defendants were
guilty of violating the law and the above
mentioned fine was imposed.
The cases are in the nature of test cases
and will probably go to the supreme. couri
for final adjudication.
