4 Right along in this line Is an IN
| teresting little story from the New
! York Sun regarding gift made by
a philadelphia broker to the phone
! girls of mis- hotel at Thanksgiving
| time:
A Philadelphia broker, who spends
much of his time at a noted New
York hotel made a Thanksgiving
present Of $3.50 to the telephone girls
of his favorite caravansary, to testify
to his gratitude for the prompt and
efficient service they had rendered to
him in his activities as q victim OF
the hello habit.
That the generous Philadelphian
intended by this gift to cast any re-
Election upon the telephone service
of his home city is not probable. But
whether he did or not, the molina
ton to which he so nobly succumbeu
is a timely. lesson to many impatient
New Workers who hold the alert,
hard working, patient and long suf-
fering hello girls responsible at the
phone for their own shortcomings.
The hurried and tired business man,
frequently lacking in Imagination,
finds 1t diffiuclt to put himself In the
overstrained operators place, to make
allowances in her favor for the de-
lays and annoyances that try his
temper 10 the breaking point. He
might be more patient, more just,
more self-restrained if he had had at
some unhappy time in his life the
trying experience of running al
switchboard himself.
We congratulate the above men
toned Philadelphia not merely up
on the benevolence of his makeup,
but upon his possession of a keen
sense OF justice. HIS Thanksgiving
present to his hello girls may. through
the publicity it has attained, exert an
enlightening and softening effect up
on countless telephone users who are
in the habit of censuring central"
when the fault of which they complain
lies with themselves.

MAYOR TAKES UP CASE
OF FINGERPRINTED BOYS
McAdoo Absolves Magistrate
Simms from Blame.

Mayor Mitchell began an inquiry yes
terday into the case OF the three boys,
Walter Sharpe, John Mahrtens and Ul-
rich Hofel, whose finger prints were
taken by order of Magistrate Charles
E. Simms following their arrest and
fine for playing baseball in the street
While declaring that such a practice
of fngerprinting boys for trivial Of
fences would seem unnecessary, the
Navor said he would not criticise the
action Of the magistrate before know
ing all the facts. He asked Chief Mag
istrate McAdoo for a statement.
Magistrate McAdoo absolved Magis-
trate Simms from all blame. He said
the magistrate had no alternative than
to take the boys finger prints, which
the new parole law required in all dis
orderly conduct cases. Prior TO The
massage of the new law, he continued,
the magistrates exercised their own
discretion. The matter will be taken
nm AZ the next meeting of the board
Of Magistrates to determine II 1t is
possible for the magistrates again TO
use their discretion.
Commenting on the case, the Mayor
said: -, :.
"This action seems to carry with IT
the sense Of putting one in the Grim
inal class. No one regards playing ball
as a real crime, morally or legally

night, after the girl had washed the
super dishes, she went across the street
to a friends house and sat on the stoop
telling stories TO other children for an
hour. Suddenly she stood up and, with
out a word, fell. An artery had burst
in her tired brain.
ONLY when the undertaken, procured
BY charity, closed the lid Of rougA

afternoon did her mother and brothers
understand what had happened. Pas:
the four burning candles, a pile OF
Alice's still open books, and her picture
turned with its face to the wall, they
followed the pallbearers into the
street. But the mother and boy did not
enter the carriage. On foot, watched by
crowds, they followed the hearse that
was taking their breadwinner away
from them forever.

Bill Calls for Drill of
Youths of 18.

Washington, June 13.-The Cham
berlain army bill, providing for univer-
sal compulsory military training, has
been completely redrafted so as to re-
quire every able bodied male citizen Of

age of IS.
In the case of young men who have
attended military academies approved
by the War or Navy departments, cred
its up to a maximum Of two months
exemption will be allowed against the
six months required course.
The redraft of the measure was made
by Captain George Van Horn Moseley,
of the General staff of the War De-
partment, at the instance Of Senator
Chamberlain, Of Oregon, the author OF
the bill. II provides for a fine or I'M
prisonment, or both, for any individual,
firm or corporation who employs any
Young man above the age Of eighteen

empted. ,,
The bill provides that tho President
shall decide annually which OF the num-
Der Of recruits under the new system
shall be trained for the army and which
for the navy. and in his discretion the
President may, as the number OF trained
men in reserve or active training in
creases. cut down the strength OF the
ord o1-commissioned officers of the
regulars TO the work of training the
civilian force.
il is provided that, after taking the
prescribed course, the trained cltizens
shall be liable for seven years to mo-
bilization and service in the field only
in the event Of national emergency.
In the event of such emergency, the
youngest classes would be called htsr
leaving the older men who have mar,
ried and assumed responsibilities until
the last.

PERKINS URGES
MOOSE TO WAIT
Leader Sees T. r. Here
Advises Delay Until At
ter Chicago Meeting.

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt spent
yesterday in town and saw several Pro-
gressive leaders, among them George
W. Perkins, but made no announcement
Of his intentions. Perkins he met at
the home of his daughter, Mrs. Rich
ard Derby. Hiram Johnson and Ches-
ter Rowell, the California Progressive
leaders. and Oscar Strsus he saw in the
evening.
Following his conference with Colo
mel Roosevelt, Mr.. Perkins telegraphed
an appeal to the members of the Pro-
gressive National Committee and the
chairmen Of the state organizations
TO take no action as individuals or as
organizations pending the meeting OF
the committee in Chicago on June 26.
This, it was explained. meant nothing
more than a desire to obtain concerted
action by the party.
These kilograms were substantially
the same as a public statement given
out last night, in which he said:
"All members OF the Progressive
party and its organizations should re-
member that at the close Of the Pro-
gressive Convention in Chicago a meet
ing OF the national committe was called
TO be held in Chicago on June 20,
week from Monday next. This will De
after the Democratic Convention in st.
Louis, and the results of that conven-
ton will be known. Sufficient time will
have elapsed after the Progressive, Re-
publican and Democratic conventions to
allow our national committeeman in
each of the states TO learn in a general
way the public sentiment in each state
and to bring this information to the
meeting of our national committee.
"The action which will then be taken
By our national convention on June 26
should be awaited by Progressives as
individuals and by the various local
and state organizations, and no action
should be taken by individual Progress
sives or by the various organizations
until the action of the national COM
mittee has been made public.
Colonel Roosevelt will this morning
meet his son Kermit and his wife on
their return from Panama, and later
see Raymond Robins, who presided at
the Progressive Convention, and Harold
L. Ickes, the Progressive national COM
mitteeman from Illinois, motoring to
his Oyster Bay home in the afternoon.

U. 5. AMENDMENT
FAVORED In NEW
SUFFRAGE PLANK
Daniels and Other Leading
Democrats Submit Plan
to Women.

st. Louis, June 13.-Sufrage leaders
tonight received for approval a ten
tative draft of suffrage plank for the
Democratic platform drawn by Secre-
tary Daniels and other leading Demo-
Gratis. The plank declares unequivocal-
ly for the passage by Congress of a
suffrage amendment to the Constitu-
tion.
Leaders of the woman's party i'm
mediately approved the form of the
plank. Their contention, however, has
been that Congress should pass the
Susan B. Anthony amendment without
delay, and their leaders are expected
to press for such action. The plank,
il is believed, will be satisfactory to
the National American Woman Suffrage
which has been contend
ing only for an Endorsement Of suf-
frage.
The proposed plank follows:
"The Constitution provides that
when any considerable number of peo-
pie desire TO have an issue referred
to the people the Congress may sub
nit the constitutional amendment to
the legislatures of the separate states
for ratification.
