OLD AGE PENSIONS
Bitter Attack Upon AristOcratic and
Wealthy Clergy.

Bitter attack upon aristocratic and
wealthy clergy was made in bat
tie over old age pensions at yesterday
convention of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church of the Diocese of
Washington, held in Bethlehem Chap
ell at Mt. ST. Adams.
Bishop Alfred Harding was COM
PEELED to call the leader of the as

vides for payment. of premiums by
the dioceses into a general pension
fund. fixed at s5,0O0,00O. 1t proposes
pensions proportionate to the sal
aries drawn by the clergymen.
Rev. DR.. Randolph H. McKim, OF
Epiphany Church, introduced the re-.
solution. G. S. Whitmore submitted
a minority report, denomcmg the
sliding scale and advocating hat
pension of $500 a year without pay
ment of bountias to high salaried
clergy.
Rev. G. S. Wh;tmore, Of ST. Agnes
Chapel, led the assault upon the ma
iority report. He said:
"The rich and powerful have too
long exerted dominating influence

horrible thing has come to pass IN

Tokyo officials Still Hope War Will
BE notwithstanding Bryan's
Statement

Tokyo, May THE japanese gov
eminent is quietly awaiting the next
move by China. It's position is as
sured. There will be no change, Oh
ficials say. China must choose
whether she wants Japan as friend
ly potent factor in her development
or whether Japan will have to use
force to enforce her claims OF the
right of development and expansion
along natural geographical lines.
The japanese position has been en-
phasized to the Chinese government.
There is nothing now to do but await
the decision of the latter.
Eki Hioki, the japanese minister
to China, has received his instruc-
tions. He will remain at his post un-
til the time limit set for China to ac-
cede to Japan.
Then, at 6 p. IN. on Sunday, unless
China has replied to the ultimatum of
Japan, or if the answer is unsatlsfac-
tory, he will ask for his passports
and he and his suite, as we'll as all
japanese consular agents will leave
China.
officials admit that the situation Is
most serious, but they say that they
are still hopeful that a peaceful out
come can be arranged. 1t is accepted
in Tokyo as necessary that President
Yuan Shi Kai defer until the last
possible moment making the conces-
sions that will prevent war.
The anti-.Iapanese party in China
is very large and influential. Num-
.hercd in it's ranks arc the. leaders OF
all of the anti-government parties IN
China. They. have openly declared
that the President was pro-JapaneSe
and have threatened revolution. 1t
is; necessary, therefore that the
Chinese government take an APP
parcntly firm stand ir opposition to
the Japanese demands.
But everywhere it is recognized
that China is in no position success
fully to oppose the; Japanese armed
strength, and in the. last analysis

Washington, May 7.-Secretary
Bryan has issued the following state
ment: on !; the position of the United
States toward the pending negotia-
tions between Japan and China.
..In;; order that there may be no
misunderstanding of the position OF
the United States in reference: to the
negotiations pending between: Japan
and China the following announce
ment is made:
rat the beginning of negotiations
the; japanese government confdenti-
ally Informed this government of the
matters which were under discussion
and accompanied the information by
the assurance that Japan had no in
tention of interfering with either the
neutrality-suspicious. or territorial in
teg,.ity of China, and that nothing
that she proposed would discriminate
against other powers having treatic:
with China, or interfere with the
open door policy to which all the
leading nations are committed.

CALIFORNIA LAW LIMITS
HOURS OF PUPIL NURSES
Wisdom Of This Statute Defended I'm
Brief Filed With United States
Supreme Court.
IT'S VALIDITY TO BE ARGUED
Case Will Involve Decision as to
Whether an Eight-iiour Restric-
ton on Labor OF Woman Is
Reasonable.

WASHINGTON. January 51The
wisdom of limiting the work hours Of
pupil nurses to eight hours day,
while imposing no such restriction on
graduate nurses, was defended to-day
In briefs filed with the Supreme Court
by counsel for California.
They relate to cases dealing with
tho validity OF the California womans
eight-hour labor law. which are TO be
argued next week The cases will in
volve a decision as to whether an eight
hour restriction on the labor OF women
is reasonable, this being the first time
the question has come before the court
In the briefs 1t was urged that within
the last few years. II has been realized
that pupil nurses were undergoing too
great q strain. II was stated investi-
CATION showed the pupils. unable to
grasp mental training after ten hours
OF labor, and that many of them came
out OF their two-or three years train
ing physical wrecks
Authorities agree in condemninc
the system whereby In many hospitals"
continues the brief, the pupil nurse
Ia employed primarily for financial
gain for the institution In many hos
pitfalls tho pupil nurse. while still in
training, Is employed as special
for whom the patient pays the hospital
ut the high rate set for graduate
nurses. In other places she IL en-
ployed instead Of the wcll-paid grad
uatc In administrative or supervisory
positions. Such pupil nurses are sub
Jcct TO the double strain of long work
ing hours. with consequent heavy re-
sponsibilities, and the strain OF contin-
uing with their student duties BY
fixing an eight hour day for pupil
nurses and cXemptinE graduate nurses,
the California law protects the exploit
fra. Il,
nurse to perform the continuous duties
OF supervision and operating room,
which cannot be interrupted without
danger"
SO far the court has upheld the WON
ems ten hour Law In Oregon and the
woman's fifty-four hour a week law in

Widow and Children Had Beea
Awarded s25,OOO for Alleged NeRli-

WASHINGTON. January 5.-The Su-
preme Court to-day set aside a judg-
mcnt OF the Fourth Federal Circuit
Court of Appeals, which awarded
Sarah T.. HolbroOk and five children
$4,000 for the alleged negligent kill
ing near Pando. w. Va. OF their hus-
band and father. bridge carpenter
on the Norfolk and Western Railway.
Ihe trial court had instructed the jury
that children were entitled to greater
damages than adult dependents.
We think the juries of the country
should be taken as having some sense"
declared Justice Mckenna in dissenting
for himself and Justices Day and
Hughes. He asserted the majority OF
the court had picked out few words
and lost sight OF the fact that the
jury was told In other portions of the
charge that no award was to be given
Tor loss of love and affection
You'd any one deny the loss to little
children In the death OF their father
Is greater than that OF adult depend
ents?' he asked.
