Passed Through at Night.

Some years ago a writer in Harper's
Monthly told of an old colored man,
Uncle Joshua, who was fond of boasting
OF the travels he had been on with his
master. As the years passed he added to
the tale Of his and "Marse Richards"
travels every town and country whose
names he learned of until the itinerary
was indeed marvellous in extent, and
whenever a new person entered the com
munity he Immediately tried to find out
how much of the world he, or she, had
visited.
On the advent of the new school teach
er he was heard to accost Deacon john
son, a member of the board: well, dea-
son, what kind Of cullud lady do de new
teacher seem ter be?"
"She pear like a right smart little
yaller lady, she do"
? Has she done much travelin', deacon,

II nevvah axed her, but l hear tell ez

Uncle Joshua was staggered for a Sec

clared patronizingly: Eyes, yes, me an

Delivered the God

When the topic turned to kids and the
good old happy school days, a smile illum-
mated the features Of Congressman Louis
Fitzhenry, of Illinois. He said he was
reminded of how little Willie delivered
the goods In the matter Of constructing a
sentence.
One day the class in small-sized gram
mar was holding forth, when the young
sters collided with the word 'notwith-
standing" Immediately the teacher
dropped upon it as a ripe subject for an
example.
"Children," said she, with an impress
sive glance at the class, I'VE have here the
word Notwithstanding Can any little
boy or girl give me a sentence contain
ing it?"
Then came a moment of intense silence.
Every little mind was c%hurning hard.
Then the hand Of Willie Jones shot up
and vigorously wiggled.
"I've got one, Miss Mary" exclaimed
Willie, on receiving recognition.
VERY we'll, Willie" smiled the teacher
encouragingly, you may tell it to the
class"
1.-THE mans trousers were worn out
not with standing" was the triumphant
rejoinder of Willie.

1t was Richards first day at school.
At noon he rushed into the house, picked

Thinks Industrial Unrest in
This Country Is De-
creasing

New York, Jan. 2l.--Jacob H. Sehiff,
banker, director Of many industrial cor
porations and representative in this coun-
try of the Baron de Hirsch Foundation,
testified as q witness before the federal
industrial relations committee yesterday
that he 'would rather think" that indus
trial unrest was decreasing in this coun-
try and he did not believe governmental
representation on the boards governing
great philanthropic foundations was adj
visable.
TO have the government represented
among the trustees of the foundations,
would, Mr.. Sehiff said he believed, in
jeet politics into their management,
which would be bad for all concerned.
The banker said that his long expert
ence with efforts to alleviate the condi-
tons of the unemployed had led him to
believe that the government must con-
meet the jobless man with the manless
jou Private and local bureaus inyari-
ably fail, Mr.. Schif explained, despite
whatever financial resources may be at
their disposal, because the amount of
work in any given community is neces-
sarily limited.
In this opinion Mr.. Schif was support
ed by Jacob H. Hollander, professor Of
political economy at Johns Hopkins uni
versity, who succeeded the banker in the
witness chair and continued his testi-
mony yesterday afternoon.
Speaking of child labor, Mr.. Schiff
said he did not know that boys en-
ployed by the American District Messen

tor were sent into disreputable places

Affair

ChicagoJan, 2l,--Before a crowd OF
baseball fans that filled the United
States district court and spread over the
wide corridors, the Federal league yes
terday opened its antitrust suit against
the three highest bodies of organized
baseball
The principal points of attack in the
opening address of Keene III. Adding
ton was the power OF the National COM
mission, which the Federal league attor-
ney described as judicial, executive, and
legislative, and the rules Of the national
agreement, under which the American
and National leagues and the National
commission maintain relations with the
minor leagues, were cited to show the
extent of that power.
Some of the best known leaders of
the professional game were among the
spectators and later may be called as
witnesses Differences among their en-
ployers were not allowed to influence
the friendship OF the players, for Man
ager Bresnahan of the Cubs, and Man
ager Tinker of the local Federal league
club, conyersed amicably.
Arlington declared the National
agreement provided series of weapons
for use against the enemies of organized
baseball, among whom it placed, he
said any persons who went against its
rules.
The first weapon, he said, was the
agreement itself, used to keep
in line the parties to it; the second was
the rule regarding territorial rights,
which was intended mainly for use
against those enemies operating from
within, though it was used also against
the Federal league. the third was found
in the rules regarding contracts; the |
fourth in the alleged blacklist" and its
fifth styling as OUTLAWS" and "eon-

The Dacia Will Proceed to
Bremen, British to
Be Ignored

Washington, Jan. 2l.--The state de-
I partment has requested of the British
embassy information as to why the
American steamer Greenbrier, from New
York to Bremen, with cotton, under GER
tifcate of the British consul at New
York, was stopped by British cruiser,
sent under British flag to a British port
and detained two days before being al
lowed to complete her voyage to Bremen.
The detention of the Greenbrier was
brought to the attention of the state de-
partment by kilograms from Captain
Farley, her commander, now at Bremen.
Farley stated that at a point on the
north Atlantic, which he fixed by longr-
tude and latitude, the Greenbrier was
overhauled on Dec. 80 by British cruis.
er. The boarding officer required him
to continue on his course conveyed by
the cruiser for day or two while the
cargo was being searched for arms.
Then the cruiser placed aboard the
Greenbrier some additional British Off
GERS, who hoisted the British flag, and a
prize crew who navigated the ship so
that, according to Captain Farley she
was damaged before she was brought
into Kirkwall The ship remained three
days, Captain Farley refusing to sail her
further except under the American flag.
The British authorities finally consented
to the raising of the American flag, and
Captain Farley took his ship to Leith,
where pilot was picked up and the
was taken to her destination
at Bremen.
The noinfs tpop which the state 40 |
partment wants information are, first I

Greenbrier in view of the certificate is +

Ion foreign Office.
