SEND CARLOAD OF WAITS.

Fifty happy little boys and girls are
speeding across the continent today
to greet the first mothers and fathers
they have known. They are the little
children of the New York Founding
Hospital, who started out yesterday
afternoon on special train from
Grand Central for their new homes in
the Middle West.
The tiniest one making the trip was
little girl only 16 months old. The
average age, according to a Sister Of
Charity at the hospital, is two years.
Go West, young woman" must be
added to the other saying, for just half
of the party were girls. Three of the
girls are going to one family in ILL:
nois where another founding child has
already grown into womanhood. There
is such huge demand for babies from
all parts of the country that a long
waiting list can never be quite elimi-
mated. Every month or so new
group is sent to another section of the
country.

E. K. Sampson, candidate for secretary
of state, has just completed a tour
covering the northern portion of the
state and reports that a large vote
will be polled for Mr.. Sampson.
Mr.. Ryan had laid special emphasis
in all his speeches that this high office
should be so conducted as to be above
criticism and that the Office should be
reorganized in the interests of eff.
cheney and economy and that the
states business should never be placed
on the political bargain counter. Mr..
SIMPSONS history is a matter of state
record and his previous training quail
fies him for this important office.

CANDIDATE FOR SECRETARY OF
STATE.


One of the popular candidates,
whose advertisement will be found in
another part of this paper is E. K.
Sampson, of Worthington, Mobiles
county, who is a candidate for nomi-
nation on the Republican ticket for the
important Office Of secretary of the
state. While Mr.. Sampson is rather
a stranger in politics in the Twin
Cities, he nevertheless has been con-
spicuous in the southern part of the
state, where he has made an impor-
tant place for himself, honored, trust
ed and respected by everyone who
has the pleasure of his acquaintance.
BY reason of the qualities with which
he is endowed, his personal honesty,
high character and efficiency, and the
experience he has had, his friends
believe him to be fitted in a peculiar
and exceptional way to perform the
duties of the office of the secretary of
the state.
He was born in La Sale county, IL
linois, and while yet a boy came to
Minnesota with his brother and located
on farm in Mobiles county. In few
years he completed his education and
has been successfully a teacher, a
public school superintendent, county
superintendent of schools and is now
the president of the State Association
of County Superintendent. In every
position which he has filled his work
has been characterized by thorough
ness and efficiency.

Senator Broussard to Introduce Bill
in Senate. Multiplying Bakers Re-
fusaI Of Ground for Monument.
Notwithstanding the refusal of
Secretary of War Newton d. Baker,
to grant permission for the erection
of monument in Arlington National
Cemetery to the "Nuns of the Battle
field" the officers of the National La
dies Auxiliary of the A. o. H. have no
intention of abandoning the project.
Senator Broussard, of Louisiana, of
the committee on military affairs, will
start the movement anew by introduc-
ing bill in the Senate at the earliest
possible moment.
The Secretary of Wars pretext for
refusing this honor to the Sisters who
devoted their services to the wounded
and sick of the Civil War was ex-
tremely flimsy, based as it was on the
alleged ground that the purpose in es-
tablishing Arlington National Gene
terry was not to furnish sites for the
erection of memorials to persons not
actually inferred there. Further
more, the erection of the proposed
monument would establish an unde-
sirable precedent for the erection of
monuments by other societies and
thus mar the beauty of our great and
historic national cemetery.
This last is an entirely puerile ex-
cuse, as all monuments can be de-
signed to harmonic with their sur.
roundings and be made features of
artistic beauty, rather than the con.
trary.

ANOTHER QUARREL
WITH GREAT BRITAIN

London Government Refuses to Release
Germans and Others Forcibly Taken
From American Ship-Washington to
Demand Their Surrender.
Washington, April 4.-Great Britains
refusal to release the thirty-six Ger
mans. Austriaris and Turks taken from
the American steamer China near
Shanghai was received today at the
state department and will be given out
for publication later.
The British note is understood to in
sist on the right of that government
to seize enemy subjects returning to
take part in the war.
1t is understood that the United
States is prepared to dispute vigor-
ously. The intention of the state de-
partment is to demand the uncondi-
tional surrender Of the prisoners
In the absence of conclusive evidence
on the recent attacks on Ships Presi-
dent Wilson and the cabinet again
postponed decision on the course to be
pursued by the United States. No
steps will be determined until addi-
tional information in the cases of the
Sussex, Englishman and Manchester
Engineer Is received.
Great Britain's reply to the Amer
lean protest on mail seizures and de-
tention on the steamer China were also
laid before the cabinet. Neither re-
ply is satisfactory. Further steps in
the case will be taken soon.

ASKS COURT TO "
DECREE SHORT HOURS
Jurists ImpIored to Declare Interests Of
Society Demand Shorter Working
Hours and More Time For Pleasure
Brief Prepared by Brandeis.

Washington, April 4.-The supreme
court was urged today to decide that
the interests Of society demand that
the employees in mills, factories, manu-.
featuring establishments shall not
work longer than ten hours a day.
The question arises before the court
In a brief prepared under the direction
Of Louis Brandeis until his nomination
to the supreme court allowed him to
withdraw. It deals with the constitu-
tionality Of the Oregon ten hour law,
but most of its thousand pages are de-
voted to contending that there is a
growing opinion thruout the world that
regulation is necessary to limit the
hours of labor in mills and factories.
The brief was filed for the National
Consumers League. It states that one
of the contributing factors to the In
crease Of disease in the United States
is the strain of American ways Of liv-
ing and working, and quotes forty
pages Of extracts from scientific pa
pers in support. y - 49,, ,. III
The brief urges that the interests OF
the state demand that Industrial labor
be limited so that leisure may be pro-
vided outside Of working hours SO that
workers will not be so exhausted as to
make no use Of their leisure. :.
AS showing the need of legislation
the brief cites the court to show that
62 per cent OF the men employed In
mills worked twelve hours a day, as
did 4s per cent Of those employed in
the iron and steel industry. r

Gen. Canuto Reyes Agrees
to Surrender Forces
to Carranza.
WOULD MEAN END
OF VILLAS HOPES
Reyes Commander Of Outlaw Forces
in North-Offers to Order Troops to
Turn in Horses and Guns Provided
They Are Assured lmmunity-Wouid
Break Organized Resistance to De
Facto Government.

Torreon, April 4. - Gen. Canuto
Reyes, commanding the Villa forces,
has sent a letter to General Terzino.
Carranza commander, offering to sur
render with all his forces if given i'm
munlty. This information was given
out today by General Trezino.
Carranza authorities here say that
the surrender Of Reyes would break
organized resistance to the de facto
government and end the the hope of
Villa. There Is a disposition, however,
to accept his offer conservatively, as
the latter says weeks will be necessary
for General Reyes to notify all his fol-
lowers and there Is a possibility that
this may be a ruse to gain time Tor
Villa.
1t has been frequently reported late
ly that Villa was making his way to
the north Of Torreon in order to effect
a junction with Reyes.
Says Struggle Is Hopeless.
In the letter to General Sarbino, the
signature of which has been positively
identified, Reyes said he deplored the
hopeless struggle. Sardino said today
that he was preparing a proclamation
which would be distributed broadcast
allowing all bandits to come and give
up their horses and saddles. He SAID
that he is confident that because ol
their knowledge Of their just treatment
to those who surrendered in the chi
huahua campaign they will respond
readily.
General Reyes is the recognized CHIEF
of all the small bands operating in the
Lagunaaand Durango districts, includ'
Ing those OF, -Gontrera's and Hiiarie

There has been no signs lately OF ag'
gression by Contrera In the Mazar dis

that Carranza forces are located al

Idabel, Okla, April 4-"Judge Lynch
tried convicted. sentenced, and
executed Oscar Martin. negro, in this
city yesterday. Martin was arrested
near Bismarck. charged with having
criminally attacked 13-year-old
white girl, who with a girl companion
was gathering wild onions in the
woods when the negro appeared. After
talking to the children the negro threw
Edna Murphy to the ground and began
choking and otherwise mistreating her.
Her companion screamed and ran to
where some negroes were fishing near
by. but they paid no heed to her en-
treaties and she went back and met
Edna In a state of hysteria, her clothes
disheveled and torn.
They reported the attack and that
night the negro was captured, identi-
fed by the girls, and brought to 1dabel
and placed in Jail.
Yesterday morning the preliminary
hearing was held in the district court
room and the examination was listened

Villa South Of chihuahua.

San Antonio, April 4.-Official ad-
mission of the belief that Villa has fed
far beyond the American forces and
now is operating south of Chihuahua
City was made at General Funston's
headquarters today. s, D. g.
Since yesterday much Information
indicating that Villa was in the neigh
borhood Of ,Satevo moving toward
Parral has been received, but that re-
garded by General Funston as most
reliable came from Consul Letcher at
Chihuahua -" -. j-sEss&
If it is proven beyond doubt that
Villa is on his way south. perhaps
toward Parral and even Torreon, the
campaign against him can not be car
much farther unless the railroad be-
tween Chihuahua and the border is
made available for the movement Of
troops or enough more troops are sent
into Mexico to strengthen the greatly
heightened ! lines Of communication.
This was frankly stated at General
Funston's headquarters. where it was
also intimated that representations to
this effect would be made to the war
department.
