NEW YORK CIVIC BODY SUPPORTS
 TOLL REPEAL BILL
CCoBttnued from Page One)

Welding Ring, member of the exec utive board of the New York chamber. favored repeal on the ground that the exemption was a subsidy and violated treaty obligations. The Merchants asso- ciation, a larger organization than the Chamber of Commerce, he said had gone on record for exemption.
 telegram approving President Will sons course on the tolls question signed by Richard Olney, attorney general in President Cleveland's cabinet and other Massachusetts citizens, was read by Sen ator Simmons.
 Henry White, secretary of the Amer 1can embassy at London when the Hay Pauncefote treaty was negotiated said in a letter read by Senator Simmons to supplement MT. Whites recent testimony before the committee. that he believed the idea that by repeating the exemption clause the United Stares surrenders to Great Britain future control over the ganal to be erroneous
 wrong impression was conveyed it developed today, regarding the testimony of Prof. s. s. Huebner of the JIniver- sity of Pennsylvania, several days ago. relating to the percentage of coastwise ships controlled by railroads or confer 'epees. What Professor Huebner said was that approximately 90 per cent of the regular steamship line services" on the Atlantic coast, and 5e per cent on the Pacific coast were controlled by railroads or conferences
 He did not mean to include in this, as reported, all ships, including tramp carriers, engaged in coastwise trade

 Washington, April Administration of- fioials tonight still declined to make pub lie the Colombian treaty, the English text of which is in the hands of the slate department, pending it's submission 10 the senate. They pointed to the trans 1ation published in Paris. however as a complete refutation of recently current report that the convention contained an apology from the American government for events leading up to the acquisition of the canal zone, ana the subsequent breach between the United States and Colombia.
 The official view here is that the Ian. guage of the first article of the treaty. in which the United States expresses regret that anything should have occurred to Interrupt cordial relations between the two countries and Colombia accepts the declaration, merely sets forth the con Ncnuonal expressions exchanged between Eations resuming normal friendly rela- ticns after breach
 Senator Shively, acting chairman of the 1ol eign relations committee, said the treaty probably would not be submitted to the Senate for several weeks Pub Hoation of the terms of the convention Was held up in this country at the re- quest Of the Senate committee, the chief reason ascrfbed being that other import ant foreign problems, all eady before Con gress, should be disposed of first
 ihe Colombian treaty, it was pointed out, too contained provision that Co., lonlbia should have free access to the Panama canal for it's vessels of war In- ashuch as the toll reapeal controversy Is before the Senate, the committee did not wish to complicate 1t by taking up the proposed treaty

MARY DANA PRANG, TEACHER FOR as YEARS

1t should be for all the children and
not for a talented few. 1t should
teach love of the beautiful and show
the boy or girl how to interpret every
day objects about him with his pencil
and brush. Teach him to paint color
schemes of his environment as he
finds it-and then of imaginary sur.
roundings. Girls especially should
plan ideal homes from cellar to garrett
"a separate color scheme for each
room. Both boys and girls should
learn to recognize harmony in cloth
ing. The class room decorations help
very much In the child's education.
Beautiful objects and artistic pictures
all help to develop the imagination
Children appreciate beauty much more
than many suppose.
This art training in the public
schools should In no way mean turn
ing out artists-but rather in making
a foundation for capable artisans
How often a child is educated with
out any forethought as to what he is
best suited Or he is taken from
school as soon as possible and thrust
into the first position offered him
This proves to be a blind alley. The
work does not appeal to the young
workers creative sense or that sense
has never been developed. He falls
behind those fitted by nature and
training for the work. He is what the
world calls failure But he isn't a
failure. He's a victim. All children
are gifted for some sort of a career"

FRANCIS JOSEPH PLANS COURT FESTIVITIES

for three years and society's hope
that they will ever be renewed during
the life of the aged emperor is now
abandoned.
The soiree dansante at Schoenbrunn
was only a concession to the demand
for an opportunity to present to his
majesty the wives of the diplomats,
including Mrs. Frederick CORTLAND
Penfield, wife of the American am
bassador, and also of those young la
dies Of the aristocracy who have be
come eligible for attendance at court
during the last three years.
The emperor is reported in good
health. Notwithstanding his increasing
years, he rises at half past three every
morning and is at his desk before
dawn. He has light breakfast at
five and then works steadily until
noon. with only half an hours walk in
his private ground to relieve his work
AT eight O'Clock all the lights In his
private apartments are out and he has
retired for the night.

JAPANESE WOMAN IS PRESIDENT OF A BANK

morning, ready to consult with hei
subordlnates and consider the transac
tons Of the day. No member Of tn,
staff is more punctual.
Mrs. Seno Is in many respects
woman Of remarkable personality, anc
no one can meet her without being i'm
pressed by her character and discern
ment. With sparkling brown eyes,
rosy cheeks and pearl white teeth, she
hardly looks her 20 years; while her
simple dress of figured cotton stun
would never Indicate that she was o
woman of wealth. But her simple and
unostentatious ways have a whole
some influence on her sdbordinates
and on all who know her. Her hus-
band, when alive, used to say: Better
a dress of clean cotton than soiled
one of silk" This principle of fru-
gality characterizes all she does both
in public and private life.
In the operations of the bank moth
ing of any financial Importance is ever
done without her approval and direc-
ton. She is president in every sense
a. well as in name.
When Mrs. Seno travels she usually
goes third class. After she became a
large shareholder in the railway she
was presented with a first-class pass
on the line, but she still went third.
One of the railway officials ventured
to demonstrate with her for this mod
esty, and she replied that as part
owner in the railway she felt that to
some degree she was a host rather
than guest, and that she should
leave the first-class cars for those who
had tickets and were often driven to
inferior cars for lack of accommoda-
tion.
Most Of Mrs. Seno's friends" says a
writer in the japan Magazine, ARE In
vested in concerns that promote ma
tional progress or some public good,
and are designedly so invested. She is
the ideal of what is meant in this
country by a Japanese citizen. .
Mrs. Seno is thus a remarkable ex
ample of the type of woman which
japanese civilization can produce"
