Ambassadors and Ministers
Packing Trunks to Make Way
for Democratic Successors.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30-American
ambassadors, ministers and consuls in
foreign lands are packing their trunks.
Sadly they are. preparing for the fate
full 4th of March, when they must
send in their. designations 10 the new
President.
The majority of our representa-
tives in foreign capitals enjoy their
work. They are rich and live high.
Their duties are not arduous. 1t is
a pleasant life and they do not like
to give it up.
Among the ambassadors only two,l
John G. A Leishman. at Berlin, and
Thomas J. OBrien, at Rome, have
been in the diplomatic service for any
length of time, and both of them
are credited with intentions to make
permanent homes abroad. They have
learned to like European life.
Mr.. Leishman's eldest daughter is
connected with half of the old fami-
lies of the Faubourg st. German
through her French marriage, while
the ambassadors son, Jack" Leish-
man, has long been domiciled in
Paris. Mrs. Leishman has often ex-
pressed her preference for Partisan
society, and has maintained a home
there, whil4her husband was official
~ living in Constantinople, Rome and
Berlin. 1t is expected that she and
her daughters will Immediately open
an establishment in their old neigh
borhood of the Bots de Boulogne near
Jack" Leishman's handsome home.
Mr.. lOBrien, now stationed at
Rome. has been away from his old
home in Michigan so many years, at
the head of the legation in Denmark
and the embassy in Japan, before
going to Rome-and his only daugh-
ter. Mrs. Chiffon, has in the mean
time become the wife of rising
Young British diplomat, now sta
toned in Berlin-that he and Mrs.
O'Brien are not pleased with the
thoughh of leaving Europe, where
they now have most of their intimate
ties of friendship. They are rich
enough to live where they please, and
it is understood they will transfer
their household to either Paris or
London after March 4.
Ambassador Rockhill. now at Con-
stantinople, will probably live In
Washington after he quits the diplo-
matte service. His wife and daugh-
ter are very popular socially at the
capital.
other ambassadors and ministers
who will become familiar figures
again in their native land after
March 4 are Henry S. Boutell, min
lister to Switzerland; Curtis Guild
stationed at st. Petersburg; Larz
Anderson, ambassador at Tokyo, and
Myron T. Herrick, Uncle Sans rep
resentatiy4 at the French capital.

vice that is necessary TO take care
of and handle those people," (alluding
to downtown trolley patrons) said
superintendent of transportation
Newton w. Bolen, of the Public Ser
vice Corporation, the first witness on
the stand in the continuation of the
trolley hearing before the Board of
Public Utilities Commissioners. Ex-
tracts from a magazine article on
the subject of street car transporta-
ton, of which he was the author, was
read to him. of which the following
are excerpts:
Instead of cutting your time table
in the middle of the day, the non
rush period, a special effort should
be made to encourage riding. -,
Cars should be run on a regular
headway.''
He had already given his opinion
to the effect that infrequent service
stimulates the walking habit among
masculine patrons of trolley cars.
Cross examined, Mr.. Bolen said
that conditions in Jersey City are
different from other cities and that
a ten or fifteen minute Roadway is
amply sufficient under certain con-
dit.ons.'
William Hughes. travelling auditor
for the trolley company, showed by
day caRls of the company that the
police count of passengers on the
cars were careless. and showed that
the police count of passengers was
usually overestimated. according TO
the car registers.

FIRE EXTENDS SIX BLOCKS
ALONG TELEGRAPH POLES
Blaze at Tops Makes Odd
Sight-ouickIy Extinguished.

An odd spectacle presented itself
when the firemen responded TO an
alarm OF fire from box 51S early this
morning.
As the firemen came into Tyler
street they saw a half dozen tele-
graph poles ablaze at the top. each
of the poles a block apart and on
either side of the street.
A few men tackled each blaze and
made short work of it before much
damage could be done 1t is thought
that wires coming in contact with the
wet poles was the cause of the odd
fires.

COLBY ATTENDS
STRIKE MEETING.
With Miss Jaynes Plies Work.
ers With Questions at
Their Headquarters.
LABOR LEADERS ALSO
PRESENT AT CONFERENCE
Former Senator Will Continue
Inquiry Into Factory Con-
ditions Today.

Continuing the investigation into
the condition under which the strlk-
Ing garment workers suffered former
Senator Everett Colby and Miss Alice
Jaynes, secretary of the Consumers
League, paid visit to the headquar-
ters of the strikers at 1O7 Broome
street to-day.
Mr.. Colby told a reporter for the
Evening Star that the object of Miss
Jaynes and himself in coming to the
headquarters was to get the strikers
side OF the story and compare 1t with
that of the manufacturers whom they
interviewed yesterday afternoon.
1t was a picturesque gathering to-
day, with the former senator and
Miss Jaynes seated at a table in the
front of the room, together with the
Rev. Bismarck j. Coltorti, who has
been taking an active interest in the
strike, and a number of the strike
leaders. Seated on benches were
about hundred men and girls, the
majority OF them employees of Bene-
dict & Wendin, who operate one of
the biggest factories in the city.
Colby Asks Questions.
The strikers listened with the
greatest of interest as Mr.. Colby and
Miss Jaynes piled several of their
number, mostly female workers, with
questions as to the kind of work
they did, the conditions under which
they are compelled to labor, and the
amount of money they receive. A
number OF the women, the majority
of whom are italians and unable TO
speak the english language fluently,
told their story through the Rev.
Mr.. Coltorti. who was pressed into
service as an interpreter.
Following an inspection of several
shops yesterday afternoon. there was
a conference In Mr.. Colbys office at
which Miss Jaynes, the Rev. Mr.. Col
tortl, A. J. Sozzolino, president of
the Essex Trades Council, and the
strike leaders were present. There
the information so far obtained
from the books of the manufacturers
was gone over. Mr.. Colby stated that
in company with an expert account
ant they would make an attempt to
go over the books of some of the
larger firms This afternoon, If per-
Knitted to do SO.
Twenty Back to Work.
Meanwhile things are pretty quiet,
as far as the strike is concerned.
One local firm, employing about
twenty, gave in this morning to the
demands of the garment workers, and
the employees returned to work. This
concern does work for Brandt
Brothers, of New York. which settled
with the strikers in New York yes
terday, signing an agreement.
Mr.. Cozzolino turned over 1925 to
the strike fund last night in behalf
of the Trades Council. The money
was collected by Delegate Henry
Lohse. Several of the locals affiliated
with the council has also assessed
their members twenty-five cents a
week to help finance the strike.

STATE TEXT BOOK COMMISSION
MEETS THURSDAY.
Kansas Authors Asked To Furnish
Copy" For kansas History.

Topeka, April THE Kansas state
text book commission will be ready
to receive manuscripts for the texts
the state will publish about June 1.
The commission met Topeka Thurs
day and definitely annpunced the
dates when manuscripts will be re-
ceived and given consideration BY the
commission. The commission has de-
cided to publish a primer for the be
ginners, a Kansas history for the
classic texts for the fifth, sixth, sew
enth and eighth grades and it Is the
manuscripts ON these texts that the
commissioners will purchase.
Kansas au-hors are to be given the
preference by the commission in the
granting Of the contracts to furnish
the copy" for the books. There are
many Kansas authors who have writ
ten school texts of various kinds Of
high quality and some of these are
now in use in the state and in other
states. II the Kansas authors will
produce as good books as the authors
of other states they will get the con-
tract and the royalties which the state
will pay for the use of the manu-
scripts.

problems confronting the American
people today. Politicians, for some
reason, refer to it less than they
should. The subject ought to be
one of the foremost political issues.
Five hundred glaring illustrations
of the crime of over-capitalization
could be cited. They would average
like this: The Chicago & Alton was
capitalized at $3O,OOO,OOO. When
turned over TO the purchasing syndi-
cate in 1899 it was capitalized at
s94,OOO,OOO.
The people are not going to for.
ever permit the Perkins and the
Morgans' and othN~ financiers to
strap upon thOir backs the burdens
of these enormous over-capitali.
cations, which constitute one of the
principal causes of the increase in
the cost of living.

OVER CAPITALIZATION.

One hundred dollars annually!
This is the amount the crime of
-OVer-capitalization, or watered stocks,
costs every American family!
This statement flows easily from
the pen, but it can be best dem
0nstrated by a little arithmetic, says
Hhe Hutchinson Gazette's editorial
man.
Various prominent financial stu
dents and authorities are responsible
Tor the statement, and their conch-
Sios are wholly sustained by reports
Of the United States Commission and
the published figures of the National
Corporation tax returns, that about
$4,000, OOO,O 900 of the stocks of our in
dustrial or tariff trusts, represent on
" water.
On this stock, dividends of about
$1,5OO,0OO,OOO are being paid yearly,
amounting to approximately SIS per.
son or nearly 500 an American fam
lily.
This $l,5OO,OOO,OOO is not picked up
out OF the streets. Where, then, does
1T come from? The answer is: from
the pockets of the consumers. There
is not a dollar of water" or infla-
ton in the capitalization of corpora
tons which deal in commodities, or
In railroad or other public service
corporations, that does not impose
burdens upon the consumers and pro-
'ducers Of this country.
The above figures, which may be
accepted as fairly conservative in
view of the fact that United States
Senator La Toilette and various 9TH
er students Of the question assert that
the amount of watered stock is more
than double the amount estimated
above, mean this: That an average
family in this country is paying tax
Of 500 a year in sporting the over
capitalization of our industries. Can
there remain any doubt then as to
Overcapitalization being one reason,
a sister reason to high tariff, for the
ever increasing cost of living.
Watered stock is not only one OF
the prime causes for increased prices
of commodities, but it is also an i'm.
.pOrtant cause of the present unsatis
factory condition of labor. To pay
these dividends on watered stock
the trust magnates must either hold
down wages abnOrmally low, or raise
prices artificialy high. The fact Is
they are doing both.
0ver-capitalization, therefore, il
obviously one of the most important

j. F. Douglass, of Beloit, Kansas,

with farmers from different parts Of
the country. 1--WE simply must feed
silage or quit the business. l use

Kansas History.

The Kansas history and the primer
must all be written.T here are sever
al histories and one or two texts. But
an ordinary history is worthless for
use in the school room except as ref
erence and a school text on history
will have to be written especially for
this work. There are several who are
contemplating writing a history Of
Kansas for school purposes.
The classics, of course, will be ia
ken from we'll known literature and
only the notes, discussion and refer
ences will have to be worked out by
the author. The commission has not
decided what books from the classics
1t will adopt. There will have to be
a regular series of these and CON-
prisinp some twelve or fifteen small
books, each one taking up some au-
thor or some particular piece of liter
AZURE. All the big publishing houses
print series of these classics and
some Of them will submit the manu-
scripts of these books to- be publish
ed on a royalty basis. The commission
can accept these or use the manu-
script submitted by some Kansan.
If the commission accepts an crigi-
nal manuscript it is probable that it
will be bough. outright and no royal
ties paid for it, the state owning the
copyright. 1t can then sell the right
to uset he book to other publishers
for royalty if It so desires.
The commission has not decided
what plan it will follow in securing
the manuscripts for the books. At
the meeting Thursday the preliminary
plans will be worked out and at a
later meeting a notice will be given
telling in detail what the commission
desires and when 1t wants the manu-
scripts submitted.
