BIG SPEAKERS CONF.
State Conference for Social Service
Meets January 2S, 20 and 30.
Thomas M. Osborne new
Warden Of Sing Sing
Prison Accepts
Invitation
MRS. CORA STEWART. OF KENTUCKY, COMING

The State Conference for So
cial Service will hold its third
annual conference January 2S,
20, and 30th. Thomas Mott
Osborne, the newly elected war
den of Sing Sing Prison, has
Just accepted an invitation from
the Conference to give an ad-
dress on January 29th on the
subject of prison reform. Mrs.
Cora Stewart, of Frankford,
Kentucky, is another out of the
state speaker who will appear
on the program. Mrs. Stewart
will speak on the subject of
moonlight schools, " for the
elimination of adult illiteracy.
Plans are already under way to
have Secretary of State, William
Jennings Bryan, and the Secre-
tary Of the Navy, Josephus Dan
iels. address the Conference at
this session. 1t is hoped that
nothing will prevent their being
present, although neither of
these members of the Cabinet
has formally accepted the Con-
ference invitation.
| The principal things to be at
tempted at this coming session of
the Conference will be to secure
some substantial action looking
toward the matter of prison re-
form, child labor and moonlight
schools.
In the matter of prison reform
Mr.. Osborne is particularly fitted
to address the Conference. He
has been a successful nlamlfac-
turer and was at one time mayor
of Auburn, New York. He has
also been a member of the Pub
lie Service Commission and is now
chairman of the National Com
mittee on Prison Labor and juA
recently he became an inmate Of
! Auburn prison in order to better
study the conditions of prisor
life. He also headed an investl
cation of Sing Sing prison and Is
now actively engaged in the re
;, formation of that institution.
. Mr.. Osborne does not believe
prisons are places for society tt
wreck vengeance on persons
who may have committed some
offense against society but rath
: er a place where the otfende
= may find refuge and be taugh
; true principles of living so tina
they may no longer be periles t
society.
Mr.. Osborne is a graduate o
/, Harvard and is widely known a
an influential democrat in NeN
York State who has successful
withstood machine rule With
party lines in his state.
{ Mrs. Stewart is widely know
y throughout the country. as tn
II woman who so successfully ol
. ganized the moonlight schools
Kentucky for abolishing adult j
literacy.
'e Other prominent speakers al
! under consideration and al
le nouncements will be made fro
- time to time.

Required Billions of
Years, Says Miller

Evolution OF Life and Form" in which
he stated that the pedigree of man, in
stead Of being only a few thousand years
old, covered period OF millions upon
millions Of years. and that his long Jour
ney through evolution was a matter OF
something over A0OO.OO0,OOO years That
from the middle Of the Third Root race
to the present time was about 1900 900
years.
Mr.. Miller said that the physical scien-
lists have already agreed that man has
existed for millions OF years. He as
serted that zone has 20 admit a some

are not visible 10 our objective sight

those who study the form side and those
who study the life side.
But TO those who study the inner side
OF nature the real beauty and grandeur
becomes apparent, and the two as one.

borer Brings This Story
to Flushing.
FOOD SHOPS ARE sToRMED

LONDON, Dec. l9.-Telegraphing

full by the German born wife of an
English laborer residing in Berlin,
who after sixteen months intern
ment, has arrived at Flushing. Hol-
land, on her way to England, accord
ing to the correspondent of the
Amsterdam Teiegraaf.
"The German authorities" the
Telegraaf correspondent quotes the
woman as saying. ARE in great fear
of a revolt owing to the discomfort of
the people. Several riots occurred
in which shops were plundered.
Mounted police charged the crowds
which were composed mainly Of
women. Misery among the working
class is considerable and is increas-
ing daily"
THE woman's story is somewhat
confirmed" says the Reuter- dis
patch, "by a letter from the Berlin
correspondent of the Handelsblad
who declares that shops literally
were stormed by large crowds who
were after their daily allowance OF
butter, which was only about a
quarter of pound per family.
Provision shops were guarded by
the police to prevent disturbances"
