Ministers Spend Too Much
Time in Social Centres,
Ayers DR.. Moore.

HOPELESS INSTEAD
Reformatory Head Urges Real
Indeterminate Sentence as
Remedy for Crime.

"If ministers Of the Gospel gave up the
time they now spend in social circles TO

Reformatorv. I'm an address before big
audience IN the Jersey city Courthouse
yesterday afternoon. Governor-eItct
James +. Fielder presided at the meeting
and among those who listened TO Dr.
Moore were judges. lawyers, clersymcn
and probation officers from all parts OF
New Jersey. Mrs Fielder accompanied
her husband.
DR.. Moore suggested the following as
remedies for present conditions:
Better training by parents. more pa
ticnt and intelligent work by the teacher
better Judgment 10y police officers ia not
using the club 50 frequently. nor making
such speedy arrests Of the Young hoy
who is only guilty of a little mischlei'
and instead controlling him more by rea-
son and kindly. fatherly interest, SO that
the boy does not become familiar with

mp.
More earnest work on the part OF the
minister going after those whose ieet are
slipping. rather than spending the TIME
with those who stand secure IN Inc
permanent places Of the world: more Wis

the proper kind Of industrial school and
providing suitable grounds for recrea-
ton: more care on the part OF the state
not 10 pass too quickly laws which make
petty offences into crimes demanding I'M
prisonment, and more foresight on the
part of the nation i'm regulating the INDUS
trial and financial interests of its peo-

weak TO be oppressed by the strong.
Dr. Moore said the refOrmatory was

Two things we're essential TO carry TINS

The Unemployed.

Urging legislation for the aid Of the un-
employed. sociologists told the House
Labor Committee that foreign immi-
grants formed a very small portion of our
idle armies. Now, no one contends that
prejudice in favor Of the immigrant
tends to secure him employment in
preference TO the native or nonimmi-
grant. Nor will it be contended that the
Immigrants special knowledge and train
ing for the work at hand make him more
desirable But this will be conceded, We
think that In most cases the immigrant
has come over. here to work and is
willing to take whatever employment
comes to hand. The result is he gets
down in the ditch, the trench or any
where else that offers him an honorable
job with not much regard at first for
wages,
Ii will not be said. of course, that the
American laborer will not work, that he
is an idler who prefers unemployment.
But he is unquestionably particular
about the kind of work The governor
of New York. seeking a solution of the
problem of the unemployed. obtained
Jobs on farms in the State last winter
at living wages for many men from the
city and gave them free transportation

Clears Way for District Bill

The way now seems to be clear for agreement in
conference on the District of Columbia appropriation
bill and the passage of the before the end of
the fiscal year shall find the District government ser-
ously embarrassed by lack of funds.
The House District Committee yesterday appointed
a special committee composed of Representatives
Prouty, OLeary, sCaraway Claypool and Mapes to
consider the relations of the District and Federal
ernments and in connection Herewith, the adyisa-
bility of providing form of sefgovernment for the
people of the District The special committee which
win hold its first meeting next Tuesday it is expected
will prepare bill for an exhaustive investigation of
the entire subject, ernbodng the most desirable fea-
lures of resolutions already introduced in the House
by Representatives Prouty. Cooper and O'Leary and
in.the Senate by Mr.. Pomerene.
With the adoption Of this program by the House
District Committee the logical conclusion is that the
House confreres the District appropriation bill will
withdraw their opposition to the elimination of section
and the Borland amendment, both of which contra
the terms of the present agreement between the
District and Federal governments The Senate con-
freres unalterably opposed to the enactment of
these provisions because the practically unanimous SEN

John Cyril Porte, R. N, and bis assistant
George Halet have planned to make their FIRST uia
flight in Rodman Wanamakers flying boat, in which
they expect to cross the Atlantic Ocean In the Glenn
icurtiss shops at Hammondsport N. Y, the finish
ing touches are being put on the giant craft and when
il is pronounced ready for the hazardous undertak
ing that may mark the beginning of new era IN
TRANSATLANTIC voyages will represent the finished
product of concentration of genius and forethought
fortified by all available experience in the science oi

devise or the brain of man evolve will be lacking
when the start is made, for besides the men who
are to make the attempt. the skilled hands of Glenn
Curtiss. DIR. Zahm, of the Smithsonian Institution
and Capt Chambers, aerouutca expert of the United
States Navy, have aided in its construction.
This contemplated flight is by far the most serious
and carefully and deliberately planned project
for crossing the Atlantic in the air that has yet
been witnessed. 1t would seem that every possible
contingency has been provided against and in weigh
ing the chances the promoters are fully justified in
the conclusion that they are in favor of success.

of cylinder oil, and that 1t has wing surface of

With the same care and forethought that has been
bestowed in the construction of the craft Lieut. Porte
has studied his and adopted his plan of navi
cation. The start will be made from St Johns, New
Homeland, from whence flight will be made to the
Azores, thence to Vigo, Spain, and thence to Ply
mouth England, total distance of 268s miles, which
us be covered within seventytwo hours in order to
win the large cash prize offered for successful trans
Atlantic flight by the London Daily Mail Lieut..
Porte expects to do it in ftyfve hours, allowing ten
hours for steps. He decided route including the
Azores and Vigo because of the insurmountabe diff
Guilty of storing sufficient fuel to enable him to COM
plete the trip without replenshing. He expects to
alight the water and take supplies of gaso-
line from boats, as he interprets the prize offer
srbiddng the touching of land between start and
finish.
There will be series of trial flights and when the
air boat is pronounced as near perfection as hand
and brain can make it and when wind and weather
are favorable the dash for the other side will be
made and the world will be waiting for the cable

The Democratic Experiment.

Uncertainty prevails in Washington and uncertainty
is playing the mischief with business Perhaps the
voters who made the incoming of Democratic ad-
mnistration possible are now realizing where they
blundered. They wanted change and they certainly
got it As long Congress hats business will have
to mark time. When ardent Democrats are compelled
to admit the ravages committed by Democratic adj
ministratien there must be surely something wrong
Yet at the next election most of those Democrats who
now complain bitterly will be found striving to elect
another Democratic majority in Washington. As the
observing citizen reflects upon the situation he is
forced TO the conclusion that after all what this country
did not need was shifting of the controlling party
at the National Capital The second real experiment
under the Democratic party is found to be no more
of success than the first experiment The first Demo-
cratic President elected after 1860 did not have Con-
gress behind him. and the Democratic experiment
could not be tried Will the voters elect another

Mexico's Two-story Lake.

One Of the wonders of Mexico is the
salt-producing lake near Salinas sta
ton on the Tampico division of the
Mexican Central Railway, seventy-two
miles west of San Louis Potosi. II may
well be termed a two-story lake, for IT
times there is a lake of fresh water
everything the salt lake. A water-tight
roof of green mud separates the fresh
from the salt water.
For a large part OF the year there is
no fresh water lake there The sun licks
it up soon after the rainy season is over.
The salt secured from this lake goes
all over Mexico. The lake has been
worked about sixty-five years. The
whole town of 5000 people makes its
living from the salt
The property is owned by a family
or estate, but it is said that not one
of the owners have lived there for years.
The old residence of the owners is still
standing at Salinas. Its massive walls
and towers and turrets give the place a
resemblance to a fort or feudal castle
