LEGAL VOLUNTEER
SAVES BOY CULPRIT
With Train for Courtroom Wins
Case for YOungster Who
DespOiled Fence.

The Saturday souvenir habit Is so
strong among some of the residents or
East New York that on week days other
things ere sought in the good old cause,
and recently the board fence partly
surrounding the home Of Or. Samuel
+. Brothers, at 90 New Jersey av., has
suffered.
Yesterday morning as DR.. Brothers
was leaving his home he saw boy
plucking boards from the fence and
placing them on "a toy express wagon.
The physicians heart was touched but,
realizing that it was his duty TO dis
courage crime in the young, he took The
boy before Magistrate VOORHEES,, m the
New Jersey av court and detailed ms
complaint.
The boy said he was Alfred Moneco,
twelve years old, Of 81 Hlnsdale st.'
East New York.
81 didn't know it was stealing, judge,
he said. I've amt got much money 10
home and | wanted TO save me mother
money. SOS she could buy me a new
suit TO graduate in from School III.
Honest, Judge"
1t didn't sound like a horrible crime
to the magistrate or to Mrs. Ellen
O'Grady, the court angel" Even the
hearts of the Brooklyn court pressmen
were touched, and they pleaded with
DR.. Brothers to withdraw his COM
plant. The magistrate pointed out
that the boys age took the case out Of
his court, and placed II in the jurisdic-
tion of the Children's Court.
mo" said Dr.. Brothers, 81 insist on
going through with this
He asked for a policeman 20 take
charge of the boy on the trip 10 the
Children's Court, on Court St, but the
magistrate refused. saying the physi-
clan seemed able and strong enough for
that great undertaking.
As they started for a Long Island
Railroad train Joseph Goldstein. of 2G
Court St, a lawyer, volunteered to han
die the boys case.
On the train Goldstein, according TO
his story later, told Or. Brothers that
he was in line for the next Congress
sional nomination from his district.
(Dr. Goldstein was defeated for a nom
ination early In the fall He also
talked about the war, the high cost Of
living, the decline Of the drama and
the respect of grand opera in East
New York
lie had reached the drama topic when
the train reached the Nostrand av. sta
ton. In the left eye of Dr.. Brothers
was a tear. With his right eye he looked
at the boy-or, rather, the place where
the boy had been.
For the boy wasn't there.
lie was at home last night Dr.
Brothers wasn't, when a reporter called.
But Mrs. Brothers, who is lawyer,
was. And she said her husband wasn't
going 20 bother with the case.

WORCESTER SHOWS

Testimony Before Senate COM
mittee Takes Form Of Illus
trated Lecture.

Washington, Dec. 30 With a series
Of col0red lantern slides depicting the
various chronological types and races
that 20 10 make up the ConglOmerate
people in the Philippine Islands to
whom the administration purposes TO
give assurances Of autonomous gov
eminent. Dean c. Worcester, former
Secretary of the Interior in the Philip
pine government, gave a score OF Sena-
tors to-day general idea of the prob
lem confronting them.
He displayed pictures OF the natives
generally designated as Filipinos IN all
stages Of dress and civilization, from
the wild men Of the hills who wear
little more than a cirClct Of leaves TO
the educated Filipino belonging 10 .he
small class which .akes an interest in
governmental affairs. In the course Of
his lecture he also briefly set forth
the accomplishments Of the United
States i'm bringing some order out OF
the chaos that existed before the estab-
lishment of the present government
the obiterati0n of plague spots and
sanitation Of towns and cities. the cree
ton of schools and establishment Of an
effective educational system. the build
ing of hospitals, the construction of
roads which made the wonderful de-
velopmcnt Of Philippine trade possible.
the development Of agriculture along
modern lines and the improvement Of
harbors and establishment OF aids 10
navigation.
Mr.. Worcestcr's lecture was the first
visuaiized idea afforded the Senate
committee of the progress made in the
islands under American control and
the condition of the peoples 20 whom be-
ls proposed 90 give an independent
government. II was also the first adc-
quate ideS they had obtained Of the
vast difference between the educated
Filipino. who Is clamoring for sef-goy-
eminent. and the mass of the people,
who are absorbed boo solving the rudi-
mentary problems OF existence.
Mr.. Worcester merely laid the
groundwork to-day for his hearing be
fore the Philippine Comm'ff-' f'
row. when he will be quiz1ed In detail
concerning the fitness OF the people OF
the islands for self government
In the course OF his lecture he also
made reference 20 the recent seditious
uprisiugs. declaring that they were the
result Of ignorance and superstition, Of
which advantage has been taken from

URGES SOCIALISM
AS CURE FOR WAR
Hillquit Laughs at Holt World
Federation Plan for Eter-
nal Peace.

Speaking at the annual dinner of
the Intercollegiate Socialist Society,
at Tuxedo Hall, 637 Madison av., last
night, Morris Hillquit ridiculed the
idea. advanced by Hamilton Holt and
others, that international peace could
be achieved by the shortcut method
of federation of the world"
"lt's all very well to say that you
can achieve peace by such fedora
tion," said Hillquit, but how are you
going TO achieve the federation the
mistake most pacifsts make is in
thinking that people are governed on
tirely by reason. and that once you
show them a certain course is reason
able they will adopt il. In actual
fact, they often do nothing of the
sort.
"The present war is a traders war,
a war for bigger markets, in order
that capitalists may better crafty
their greed for gain. In order to have
big enough profits, they seek external
markets in the shape OF colonies, and
when they quarrel over these, and the
quarrel can't be adjusted. you have
war.
THE sole way 70 prevent il is 10
establish socialism, an industrial
democracy in which the workers will
own the means by which the nation
supports itself. They will not seek
for larger markets, they will not at
tack each other for the sake Of colo
mics, and consequently there will be
no war. After that you can. have your
federation Of the world"
Some three hundred delegates from
the different colleges were present,
and the speakers, besides Mr.. Hillquit
and Hamilton Holt. included Profess
sor Ellen Hayes and Charlotte Perkins
Gilman.
