way Of teaching little children.
This italian woman's remarkable
success began some years ago in Rome,
where she instructed defective chill

feeble minded inmates was so great
and her discoveries Of so vast an I'M
p%ortance to the whole conduct or edu

tunity to t her theories into practice
in a school for the children of the
tenements Of Rome. Thus the Casa

''house of the hildren," which might
with equal propriety be called the

New York, Jan. 2O.-Leprosy is on

CARDINAL FARLEY HERE;
COMES WITH REFUGEES
Philadelphian Tells of His Encounter
with Soldiers in Germany.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.--Cardnal Far
ley. of New York, who took part In the
conclave which elected Pope Benedict
XIV, arrived home today on the italian
liner SAINT Anna.
There we're 432 refugees on board the
liner, most Of whom had interesting
stories to tell.
On the voyage over fve Of the Turco
stokers mutihed and had to be put In
irons. The captain Of the ship tried to
land his mutineers when the ship put
into Alemeria, Spain. but the Spanish
authorities refused to take them in
charge SO they were brought on to
America.
VIM. F. Dreer, of Philadelphia one of
the passengers, said that he had an
amusing time getting out of Germany.
"once an German soldier held us up.
said Mr. Dreer, land he was so excited
that he discharged his musket over our
heads and then took to his heels in
terror.
"On another occasion the captain of
squad Of German soldiers stopped my
party and after looking at our pass
ports upside down said that they were no
good and that we could proceed no
further. Finally we persuaded him to
look at them right side up which he did
and then ordered us to go ahead"

NEW WARSHTPS WILL
FILL GAPS In FORCES
OF KAISER ON SEAS
German Admiralty Has
Vessels of Latest Design
Nearing Completion-Ar-
mament Supply Is Weak
Point.
LONDON, Sept. %.

1NC4NLOAN' NoNpN' 50
The measures which It has been re-
ported the German Admiralty Is taking
to replace ships already lost in the war
directs attention to their building pro-
gram. Indeed, among the reasons put
forward to explain why the High Sea
Fleet has not yet come from behind the
shelter of it's fortified bases is that 1t
may be waiting to receive reinforcements
from the vessels now in an advanced
stage of construction. Not only are
these ships of all classes, and by no
means few in number, but they are nat
uraUy of newer and more efficient types,
more powerful, better protected, or
faster, than the last ships passed into
commission. 1t may be pointed out, how
ever, that our own authorities have moth
ing to lose, from a material standpoint,
by such period Of waiting. Whatever
may be the number of vessels turned out
b. the German shipyards within the next
few months, we have the assurance of
Mr. Churchill. in his speech at the
London Opera House on September ii,
that English establishments will turn out
more than double the number.
In regard to battleships, the next ves-
sells to be added to the German Navy
are the three OF the 1911 programe, the
Koenig, Markgraf, and Groser Kurfuerst
They are understood to be fitting out at
Wilhelmshaven dockyard, the Weser
yard Bremen, and the Vulcan yard,
Hamburg, respectively. They were all
launched during 1918, the Koenig on
March !, the Markgraf on June 4, and
the Grosser Kurfuerst on May 5. At the
launch of the last-named vessel, the
baptlsmal Grafton, which is a prominent
feature of such functions In Germany,
was delivered by Prince Oscar of Prus-
sia, the Kaiser's fifth son, who made
reference to the inheritance which the
Great Elector, after whom the ship had
been named, had left to the Fatherland.
The Prince continued:
The new German Empire has assumed
this inheritance of the Great Elector
with understanding, and has cherished
it faithfully. Through the initiative of
our imperial master, supported by the APP
preciative, patriotic, and self-sacrificing
princes and representatives, the war flag
and the German eagle now spreads its
protecting pinions over the children of
German lands on far seas and foreign
Shores"
This has a curious ring at the present
time. when, owing to the rapacity of the
German eagle, nearly all the ships which
formerly carried children of German
lands on far seas have been either cap
tured or driven into neutral ports. AS
to the German possessions on foreign
shores, Togoland. Samoa and New Pom
mern have already been removed from
the protecting pinions of the same eagle,
and II can only be a matter of time be-
fore the rest will follow suit.

POLICEMAN ACCUSES THREE
Alleges Friends Sought to Take
Stolen Watch From Prisoner.

Three men were held under bail this
morning on the testimony of Albert
Dearher, Of l24l South Broad street, and
Policeman Trainer, of the central police

trying to arrest Mitchell on Dearher's
complaint the man called TO Frank Lamb.
OF 1872 South Guenther street, and Frank
Costello, of 1897 South Juniper street who
were standing on the opposite side of

rest attempted TO relieve his prisoner
OF the watch.

That's natural, school is interest
ing" said his mother.
"Oh, is it, mother; what do you
know about it?'
Il know lot about it," she re-
piled with contented little -four
ish of her feathers, and she settled
herself to tell him about it. Os there
anything more fun than telling all you
know-and maybe a little more-to
somebody who can't dispute you?)
You see, last year 1 had nest
under the caves Of the schoolhouse up
the street, and l learned much about
school then"
"Dear me, wish you had built
there this year" said the sparrow.
well, | didn't" replied the mother
comfortably, 80 I'll tell you all l
know instead. The children sit in
rows and read things out of book;
then they stand in rows and say
things out of their heads"
Dear me-" said the little sparrow
in puzzled voice, that sounds very
queer and uninteresting."
That's because you are a bird.
Children think it is fine" answered
his mother. "They like to do things
in rows"
The little sparrow pondered over
that for quite while, then he said:
81 wish birds could have school,"
"The ideal" scoffed his mother,
don't think so much, you'll get
foolish"
oh, no, I WON'T" replied the little
bird pleasantly. Then with a sudden
inspiration he added, "but Pm going
TO start a bird school. Then maybe
the little boy will like me again"
"Where will you have it," asked his
mother. Birds are not used to doing
things in rows, you know"
Eyes, | know that" replied the little
bird. 80 | mean to have it on the
wires here, on the clothes lines and
the telegraph wire"
And would you believe it-he did!
He called all his friends, and they sat
in rows on the telegraph wires and
pretended they had school
The kind little boy saw them, too,
and was so interested he stayed at
the window long time and watched.
SO, of course, the little sparrow was
proud and happy-and he played
bird school" many fine day.

CALLS BILL A BETRAYAL
Senator Reed Continues Attack on
Clayton Antitrust Measure.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Ex-senator Reed
of Missouri today in the Senate declared
that the Clayton antitrust bill "as
drafted by the conferees is a betrayal Of
the Democratic party of the country"
The Senator first took up the action
of the conferees on the section of the
bill which prohibits tying or exclusive
contracts. He said
"The section as reported by the con-
ferees does not provide that such a con-
tract In itself shall be void, because 1t
is against public policy. 1t merely pro-
vides that the contract shall be void in
case it tends substantially to lessen COM
petition"
Senator Reed insisted that this provi-
sion would be ineffective and would re-
suit In opening up new field Of litiga-
tion. The Senator also pointed out that
the penalty clause attached TO this sec
tion in both Senate and House had been
eliminated by the conferees,
