Miss Lathrop's address was quite

1.-THE Children's bureau" said Miss
Lathrop after being introduced by
Minnie Nelson, has been ten years
in the making. The plan was con-
ceived by Miss Wall of New York and
she was later assisted by Florence
Kelly. For the last FIVE years the Ma
tional Child Labor committee, which
by the way in view Of the recent in
vestigations of Hobbies I will call a
highly moral lobby, aided greatly in
assisting urging the passage Of the
bill creating the bureau.
In dealing with children we must
consider the father and mother. We
are to deal with normal children. Now
congress did not create an authorita'

everything and tell about it.

More Criminals
Among Unmarried
Than Married Men

New York. July Summarized men
are more often criminals than mar
ried men, according to the figures in
a report Of the work Of the district
attorneys Office published today BY
Chief Clerk Henry D. Sayer of Mr..
Whitman's stat. The same Is shown
in regard to women.
Last year 789 married men were
convicted in the courts Of general SEES
sions and the criminal branch of the
supreme court, and 2,068 unmarried
men. The records for feminine de-
PENDANTS shows 66 married women
convicted and 100 unmarried.
While the percentage Of unmarried
criminals in practically every sort Of
crime, the report shows that suicide
is an exception. Three times as many
married as unmarried men attempt
suicide and were tried for it in 1912.
A comparison for the last nine
years gives 1870 convictions Of mar
ried men for all sorts of crimes and
18,408 convictions Of unmarried men.
The report indicates that there h
a gradual increase Of crime among
young men, the male criminals under
the age Of 30 having increased In
number from 100 in 1904 to 1900 in
1912. During the last year many Of
tenders were between the years Of
Is and 20.
The statistics for women prisoners
show that two.thirds Of the women
brought to court were under 30 years.

son alleging 1t; to prohibit interlock-

Second only in interest to Mr.. Red
fields views on the trust question, are
his plans for developing trade of the

The trust question, and the work
laid out for the bureau Of corpora
tions, which will range from an in
vestigation of whether trusts are effl-
cient to a study Of the economic laws
governing the fixing of retail prices,
bears an important relation to Pres1-
dent Wilson's legislative programme.
Secretary Redfeld discusses 1t ex-
haustively and substantially outlines
his views as follows:
"There is a growing question in the
minds of experienced and thoughtful
men as to whether the trust form of
organization is industrially efficient
and whether bigness and bulk are al
ways necessary to production at the
lowest cost. 1t may be conceded that

Rear Admiral Howard, honorary
president of the order, repudiated the
work of the press agent who furnish

designed to show "the lack of SYM
pathy for the recent developments and
tendencies of the Philippine govern

Admiral Howard said that neither

Of great quantities of labor have cer-

doubtful, at best, whether these faV-
Orable elements are all the factors
that exist and whether there does not
come a point of maximum efficiency
at minimum cost beyond which an In
crease Of product means an increase
Of cost per unit Of that product.
TT is significant that some of the
great trusts have ceased to exist: that
others pay but moderate dividends, II
any, on their securities, and that side

There is no criticism here of big
business as such but merely the ques-

whether there are not cases where
business is rather less desirable than
efficiency.
THE purpose of the bureau of cor

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 16.-Both the
state and the defense have rested in
the case against Coccimigilio, who is
charged with the murder Of Felice
Yannazzo in a railroad camp car last
September. The testimony has shown
that Yannazzo was always of a quar-
relsome nature and posed as the bully
of the car. While intoxicated, it is
said, he threw the accused man to
the floor and while beating him,
threatened to take his life, but Coo
cimigilio instead stabbed him In the
abdomen in self defense. Just how
the tragedy occurred was illustrated
in the court by an italian witness. US

The defense will attempt to show, in
it's arguments, that the murder was
justifiable.
