GEORGE c. PERKINS,
EX-SENATOR, DEAD
Served q Years as CaIifor-

OAKLAND, Calf, February 90
Former United States Senator George
{. Perkins. eighty-four. died at his
home here today.
From ship boy to forty-six years Of
almost continuous public service,
twenty-five years of which were in
the United States Senate, was the
active life experience of George Glenn
ent Perkins. He was in his eighty
fifth year, having been born at Ken
nebunkport. Me. August 30, 1889.
At the age of thirteen young Per-
kins left his home at kennebunkport
to become a sailor before the mast"
his first voyage being on sailing ves-
sci to New Orleans. Thereafter. for a
number of years, he followed the life
of the sea, visiting nearly every port
Of the world. Touching, finally, in
1855, at San Francisco, he caught the
gold fever and turned prospector and
miner. He was the first to introduce
steam whalers in the Arctic ocean,
and operated numerous ships on the
Pacific from Alaska to Mexico.
AS country merchant in Califor-
MIA, Perkins became interested in
politics and was elected to the state
senate in 1869 and to the governor
ship ten years later. In 1893 he was
fill the unexpired term of the late Le-
land Stanford, the appointment being
confirmed later by the Legislature.
Su JseQuently he was reelected to
three full terms.

faring gave him recognition as an
authority in the Senate on the many
measures relating to maritime affairs
and the naval establishment

tering, Laws.

Blaming Congress for its interfer-
ence with the administration OF the
courts and urging that the American
press take judicial procedure more
seriously. Thomas w. Shelton, chair
man OF the committee on uniform
judicial procedure of the American
Bar Association, in a current number
Of the associations journal draws a
contrast between the English and
American courts. The underlying
distinction is found, he claims, in the
fact that all technicality of every
nature was abolished from the courts
the moment that parliament turned
over their practical operation to the
judges and lawyers, and thereafter
devoted itself exclusively TO making
laws instead of trying to administer
them
Speaking of the simplicity Of the
English courts, he says:
Spectators are not drawn to the
courtroom by the thrill Of sensation
alism, the diversion of minstrelsy of
the entertainment of oratory, for none
be in solemn st. Pauis. so quiet and
decorous is the atmosphere. Every
ounce of energy leads in it's deliber-
ate plodding way TO the final judg-
ment for which the case was insti-
tuted.
There are no useless, senseless,
peevish or obstructionist diversions
Exceptions and objections by law
yers, that necessarily, but materially,
mar American trials. are SO rare as
to startle or even offend the opposing
lawyers, who pride themselves, as
sworn officers of the court, on keep

the industry a reasonable return on

of their holdings was considered to
be $685., ,4e6, 100.
Hold Wages insuMciest.
present wages paid to anthracite
workers Is not sufficient compensation
for the work they perform" the re-
port said. THE cost of anthracite
coal can never be figured in dollars
and cents alone. There must be added
to the labor cost an annual toll OF
over 500 lives, OF over 10000 workers
who suffer accidents. of men and
boys who do work as dirty and dan
gerous and yet as honorable as SOL
diers in war, who meet death and
injury in order that coal may be
produced to warm the homes OF our
people and turn the wheels OF in
dustry.'
Average earnings Of miners, il was
said, "on the basis OF best figures the
operators have been able to produce"
amounted to $1,000 per annum. which
was asserted to be less than a living
rate. The commission was asked to
look carefully into anthracite book
keeping during its fact-nnding in
vestigation, to determine whether
being unduly swelled by methods of
iguring power, administration, and
supply charges.
Object to Royalties.
Royalties which mine operators now
pay to owners of lands containing &
coal were sharply attacked in the
unions analysis, which asserted that
satisfactory method must De founo
either for the practical elimination
or the drastic regulation downward of
all royalties" AS the scale now
stands, it was asserted, amounts
ranging from 8 cents to s2.4o per ton
are being paid to the owners of the
land, the average throughout the in
dustry being 16 cents. while the wide
differences in cost of production
which result from the varying
charges result in a price-f1xing ar
rangement, which Is apt to cover the
high cost collieries and thereby allow
the lower cost collieries q larger

10000 Minus Provisions.
A final check-up on the number Of

the carrier force of the local post
office. A count was taken ten days
without box or door slot.
The count today is expected to re-

In recent instructions to postmas-

fully pointed out that there is no dis
position whatever to work hardship on

considered by the Post Office Depart
ment.
All such cases in the National Capt.

Chance to the office of the first as

will be gone over carefully there. The
department feels that the request it is

be no real ground for refusal of any
resident to place a box at his front

TOO MUCH ATTEMPTED

The public school will be endan-

within the limits that the public can
bear and unless 1t fulflls tho prl-
mary objects for which IT exists, DR..
Henry s. Pritchett. president OF the
Carnegie Foundation for the Ad-
vancement of Teaching, pointed out
In his sixteenth annual report, made
public today.
II the demands Of the schools con-
ttnue to increase at the present rate,
he said, the inability OF society to
pay the cost must bring about radi-
cal curtailments. The increase in
cost, he emphasized, is due partly to
increase in numbers, the betternent
of facilities and the improvement OF
teachers salaries. But a large part
of the increase, he declared. is due
to the fact that the school Is no
longer conceived OF as primarily an
intellectual agency, but as a means
for learning something Of ever
form of knowledge, and for acquir-
Ing preparation for a trade or pro
fession.
In the endeavor to do ali this. tn.
public schools, he said, give smatter-
ings of many things. weaken intel
lectual discipline and increase ex-
penSc enormously.
Cause of Overcrowding.
The contention that the public
school is an agency in which any
child may be taught any subject is
fundamentally unsound and leads To
expense beyond any mans ability to
estimate" said President Pritchett.
LAS a result, the schools are over
crowded, with ill-prepared pupils who
think they are going TO obtain some
thing which the school cannot give
them, and whose happiness and use
fulness should be found through
other means. Both financial necessity
and educational sincerity require that
those who are responsible for public
school education shall return to a
feasible and educationally sound con
ception of the school, that they shall
frankly admit what il can do and
what it ought not to attempt, and
that they bend their efforts 70 carry
out these things that are feasible and
necessary. Financial Solvency and
educational sincerity are to be found
along the same path"
