OLD THKEE-MASTER. IS LUCKY.
Schooner Bowers, Former Visitor
Here, IScapes Nantucket Shoal.

The thre's-masted schooner r. Bowers.
which stranded on Handkerchief shoal,
Nantucket soond. last week. and which
was hoated from her dangerous posi-
ton by the revenue cutter Mohawk
and taken into harbor, was formerly q
frequent visitor to this city with plas-
ter and other cargoes. but it has now
been several years since she was last
here.
Though the Bowers Is nearly ttArty-
nve years old and is growing tender"
the Mohawk got her afioat practically
unchanged. Where she stranded is
one Of the most dangerous Of the many
shoals about Nantucket island, and few
vessels that strike on 1t ever get OH.
The Bowers was built at Camden Me-.
IN 1879, and is 1903 feet long. 33.5 feet
beam and 1872 feet deep In the hold.
She registers 435 gross tons and L.

their importation for commercial pur-
poses, and was not intended to cover the
feathers on hats worn into this country.
Senator Simmons said:

clauses; that is up to the Treasury De-

WELFARE OF CHILDREN
THEME Of DISCUSSION
Bureau Urges Attention to
Those in Small Cities and
Rural Communities.

More attention to the welfare Of chill
munities is needed, according to the
children's bureau. Figures compiled
from the last census by this bureau
show that the greater number of chill
dren live in the smaller cities and rural
communities. Furthermore. the welfare
work for the little ones in the larger
cities already has been well organized
The bureau is now engaged in COM
piling a series OF pamphlets giving sta
tistics on the children in the United
States. This is necessary In order that
the bureau may proceed with the work
for which it was established by having
specific figures before it. These figures
show that there were 2s,499.136 chill
dren under fifteen years Of age in the
United States April Is, 1910. Almost
all OF these we're porn on United h SSa.es
numbered 760,S46, and formed only 2.6
per cent Of the total number OF chill
dren.
Many Children Of Immigrants.
Many OF the native children are the
children OF immigrants, the bureau de-
clares. The figures show that in 1910
there were 7.225,569 native white chill
dren with one or both parents foreign
born. The native white with both parents
native numbered 17.731,5 $50, and formed
col per cent of all the children in the
country.
There were $685.. 107 colored children.
forming la per cent of the total num-
Der. Nest of the colored children are
found in the southern and southwestern
states. The foreign-born whites are To-
Gated principally in New England and in
the middle Atlantic and north central
states. The white of native parentage are.
Of course, more evenly distributed, and
are present in large numbers In all Sec
tons of the country.
Proportion in Cities.
The figures show that less than one
child in five is living in city OF 100000
inhabitants or over. and that three chill
dren in five are living in villages of less
than $500 inhabitants or In distinctly
rural communities. In New England and
In the middle Atlantic, north central and
Pacific states the percentage Of children
living In cities of 100000 Inhabitants or
over Is far greater, reaching as high as
43.4 In the middle Atlantic group. In the
on the other hand, the percentage living
in cities of 100000 or over is small the
highest being 66 in the south Atlantic
states, but the percentage in rural dis
tr1cts is high. being above so in all the
southern divisions. The question Of child
welfare In the south is thus distinctly a
rural question, and even in the north and
west very considerable part Of 1t is
rural.

WOULD ABOLISH THE FEE
SYSTEM.

jackson, Miss, July %. An effort
will be made at the next Legislative
session to abolish the fee system in the
offices of chancery clerks, sheriffs and
tax collectors, and circuit clerks.
A measure Of this character has
been presented at each biennial session
for several years, but received very
little serious consideration, being
usually defeated in committee room.
The present movement, however. is
understood to have strong backing
and bill is being framed providing
for graduated scale of salaries for
these Offices, based on population
and present fees collected that will
give fair compensation to the sheriffs,
chancery clerks, and circuit clerks.
The sheriffs Of Mississippi have a
state organization, and will probably
make strong fight against the bills.
Hostility is also expected from incum.

LEVEE BOARD TO BE PROBED.

jackson, Miss, July Is. Letters
from confidential sources alleging ir-
Irregularities and mismanagement in
connection with the affairs of the
Yazoo- Mississippi Delta Board Of Levee
Commissioners have been received by
the Joint legislative investigation COM
mite.
Members of the body state that the
affairs of the levee board will receive
their attention before the close of the
year; that it was their original plan to
have the affairs of both levee boards
examined, and the books and accounts
audited, prior to the receipt Of this in
formation, and it is likely that their
probing will be fastened.
The legislators decline to discuss
the revelations set forth in the letters
they have received but admit that the
general charge is that of extravaganza
and Encouragement. A number Of
letters have been received from plan
tiers in the upper delta bitterly com.
planning against the increase of tax
levy recently ordered by the board
contending that it is in no sense justi-
fled in view of the present condition
of the levees in that district, which
successfully withstood the record

with veritable storm of criticism af-
ter the crevaSse at Beulah several
months ago. Thus far, however, no
allegations have been filed with the
committee regarding the financial man

trict.
1t has been more than decade since
the levee board books were audited by
a legislative committe. 1t has been
