A Remarkable Sunday School.

Small! beginnings often make large
endings. In the year 1855 the Amer
lean Sunday school unions organized
small Sunday school In remote
county in Kentucky The school has
met continuously every Sabbath ex-
cept for short period during the
Civil War. 1t is located many miles
from any railroad.
From its organization to the pres
emit time about 800 scholars have been
enrolled, so that the average attend
ance has not been large.
From this little Sunday school in
the backwoods there have gone seven
ministers of the gospel, one mission

union, one candidate for vice Igcsi-
dent Of the United States, one lieuten-
ant governor Of Kentucky. seventy
two school teachers, thirteen mer-
chants, ten lawyers. thirteen prac-
ticing physicians.

A month previous Professor Woods
had interested the criminologists and
the local Jail authorities by asking
that they find a subject for his test.
It was intimated that any profess

submit to the operation should re-
ceive his liberty.
1t was not so easy to find self-con-
fessed criminals who would run the
risk of a dangerous operation. The
majority claimed to be inherently in
nocent as lambs, and trusted to the
lawyer rather than the surgeon to
win their freedom. At length Pro-
fessor Woods found a typical case

freely admitted that the impulse to
rob was an irresistible influence of

BRANDE|S OPPOSES
APPROVAL BYL. c. c.
.critieises House Bill Giving Su-
pervisory Powers Over Is
sue of R. r. Securities.

Criticism of the House bill giving the
interstate commerce commission super
visory powers over the issue of railroad
securities was voiced yesterday before
the Senate interstate commerce commit
tee by Louis D. Brandeis Of Boston. His
views were not at all in accord with
of the commission, which to a large de-
gree has approved the House bill.
The House bill would give the commits
sion the power to approve security Issues,
but would not prohibit specifically any
particular issue. Mr.. Brandeis proposed
to prohibit railroads engaging in any
business other than that of carriers and
forbid them to issue any securities at all
except for the betterment or extension OF
the railroad property. This provision he
urged to curb the desire of railroads to
go into coal mining, hotel and other bust
nesses, not purely that of carriers.
Makes Second Suggestion.
His second suggestion was that no rail-
road should be allowed to acquire by
lease, or any other way, any stock or in
terest in any railroad. ship or boat line,
trolley line, or in any corporation owning
or controlling, even for the purpose of
extending its railroad system. without the
prior approval of the commission, and
then onl, to the extent and in the man.
ner approved by the commission.
He also proposed that every railroad
should notify the commission of its pur-
pose to Issue any securities, and thereby
give the fullest publicity to the trans
action.
Mr.. Brandeis offered an amendment to
the House bill Incorporating these sugges-
tons. He argued that as the bill stands
railroads might issue all sorts Of securi-
ties and necessary approval Of the COM
mission might be taken by the public as
government stamp of the soundness Of
the securities. He thought the giving Of
such power should be deferred until the
physical valuation Of railroads has been
completed.
Members of the committee said last
night that they probably would change
the House provision granting supervisory
powers to the commission. A vote may
be taken on this feature within a few
days.

Hope Bill Will Be Passed.

While preparing in a general way for
any emergency that may arise in the
event the appropriation bill is not pass
ed, the District Commissioners are still
hopeful that the bill will be approved.
They are inclined to believe that the ap-
pointment of special committee OF the
House District committee to consider
resolutions looking toward a change in
the form of the Districts government
may have the effect Of relieving the
deadlock over some of the provisions of
the appropriation bill which have been
the subject Of controversy.

Interesting Possibilities.

The prospective nomination OF Commits
sioner Siddons, together with the case in
court regarding the eligibility of Com
missioner Newman to serve as a Com
missioner. furnishes interesting possibil-
ties as to new Commissioners going to
the head of the District government If
Mr. Newman is sustained as Commits
sioner by a jury. only one new man
would go into the governing body of the
District IN the event Commissioner Sid
dons goes upon the local bench
II was generally conceded today that
Commissioner Newman. in or out of the
District building, would have great in
huence in the nomination Of one Com
missioner or two Commissioners. Com
missioner Siddons was named largely
upon the recommendation of Commits
sioner Newman, and the President Is not
likely to select another high official for
the District without giving much weight
to the views OF Mr.. Newman.

District officials are not worried by the
prospect of difficulties that may arise in
connection with the continuation and
extension Of loca! government activities
should Congress fail to provide the Dis
trict appropriation bill by July 1, the be-
ginning Of the fiscal year.
They anticipate that while some confu-
sion might result from the carrying out
of the proposed plan to pro-rate one
twelfth of the current appropriation for
each month until the passage of the bill,
it would not seriously retard the
municipalities progress.
This plan, which would most likely be

May Make Statement Tonight.

AS the minister took an automobile to
hotel for luncheon prior to returning
to Niagara Falls. he said he would con-
suit with his colleagues tonight before
making any announcement, and that
there probably would be no full session
Of delegates and mediators until Mon
Gay. DR.. Naon declined to say what pro-
posals he had in mind which would
break the deadlock in the mediation, but
he came away from Washington highly
optimistic. He found that President VIII
for one thing-the pacification Of Mex
ico-and were ready to listen to further
compromises or suggestions out Of which
solution might be found.
The publication Of the statements set
ting forth the respective positions Of the
American and Huerta delegates admit
teddy has cast shadow Of doubt over
the negotiations, in that each side finds il
difficult to recede from a publicly an
nounced attitude. But there is a strong
probability, in the opinion Of D.. Naon,
that by abandoning the discussion Of
types and individuals and going ahead
on the other important points in The
peace plan, a man may be found in the
interim who would satisfy. if not. the
letter, at least the principles of both the
American memorandum as well as tina
issued by the Huerta delegates. In any
event Minister Naon was sure that tht
mediation at least would resolve the diff
fcuIties between the United States ane
Mexico and spoke with confidence Of the
ultimate solution of the internal prob
lem.
