THE ANNUAL LUNCHEON OF THE TRIBUNE SUNSHINE SOCIETY AT HOTEL MANHATTAN YES-
T E R DAY.
T.S.S.AMUAL LUNCHEON
Great Year for Sunshine — Large In
crease in Membership and Resources,
God's In His heaven.
All's right with the world.
■ang Mrs. Cecilia Nlles at the annual luncheon
of the Tribune Sunshine Society yesterday at
the Hotel Manhattan. Nothing perhaps could
have better expressed the "happy feeling" — the
camera 2erie. the sense of satisfaction In the
society a£ a whole, and pride in its phenomenal
growth— which characterized the occasion and
anlrr.a-Ted the several hundred members and
guests who were present. The sunshine which
poured in at the windows seemed only an out
ward a^id visible sign of the warmth and light
of human fellowship and kindly concern which
filtered all through the afternoon, a heritage
from the morning's business session — the biggest
business meeting, by the way. the Tribune Sun
shine Society has ever known.
Had not Mrs. Clarence Burns, the president,
been tilling them that the society had exactly
doubled in membership since last year's annual
luncbeon? And did not that mean far greater
material resources and an Infinitely wider — and
continuously widening— circle of influence?
"I wlfh you could all have been here this
morning to hear our 6plendld reportß," said Mrs*
Burns, as the women pulled up their chairs
toward the long guest table, with Its bank of
delicate pink roses in front of the president
EE<l the tall glasses of yellow and white daisies
— Sunshine's own flower — which graced it in
common with the host of smaller tables.
LSrjHTBXIKQ BURDENS.
Then followed a series of speeches which well
illustrated the catholicity of interest which in
spires the activities of the society.
11185 J. E. Bttcheoek, of the Nurses* Settle
ment, sketched the story of the Nurses' Settle
ment from the day when ' it began with two
Burses in a tiny top floor flat in Jefferson street
to tb* present, when its twenty-two nurses
make en an average nine calls a day. the whole
city being districted with a nurse in residence,
except s section of the West Bide from lOOth
street to Harlem.
"We d'.dn't say. 'Go to, we. will have a Settle
ment.' " said Miss Hitchcock; "we just said.
"Let's ?.'» what we can do to help people.' The
Brat day "r.e nurse went in one direction hur.t-
Ir.p p: k people, and the other in another.
That's 'he only time we have ever had to hunt
Since then they've hunted vs —
haunted us."
she explained a little how the nurses go
-. say. with a child ill with pneumonia,
og and telling and giving little hygienic
fcirtf and bracing up the poor, dazed mother.
A to they pull the child through.
"'> » hay« a great deal of disease in the tene

rr.arkM Mrs. Bums before introducing as the
MXI Fi*raker Miss Ada L. Fairfleld. of the
U Plant. Flower and Fruit Guild, who
tIM audience laugh with her account of
Hm o!d woman who painfully raised a potato

iiluetrated. Miss Fairfleld said, some of
isure the guild gives through its weekly
ution of flowers, which amounted to
ten thousand bunches a week during ten weeks
la?t summer.
I-'uring the winter." she went on, "we havo
ver sixteen thousand bunches from social
Our window box experiment last
r succeeded beyond our wildest dreams,
and the demand this summer has been five
s great. We expect the tenement section
v.iii bk-om like the rose, and Fifth avenue won't
be in it "
THE STORY OF A CHILD.
Then Owen K. Lovejoy. who came Instead of
I>r. Samuel McCune Lindsay, secretary of the
National Child Labor Committee, told the story
of little Jo Batußkl. who Icet his life In the ex
plosion in Bhenandoah City coal mine last
Tuesday morning. Before he was half through
the tears stood in many eyes.
"Although Jo had been old enough only two
months to work legally." Mr. Lovejoy said, "he
had been working in the mine since 1902. Yes
terday at 7:30 a. m., when he was riding his
mule Into the mine, firedamp or dynamite blew
him up with six others. Little Jo is only a
type — I am not here to bring any appeal from
him— for when I looked at his torn and man
gled body in the little darkened room at mid
r.ipht and remembered that he had lived since
he was twelve underground, and that the best
he- cculd do. with nine hours' labor a day, was
$7 c week— well. I thought, after all. little Jo
■was the most fortunate boy in Shenandoah. His
work is done. The vice of American neglect and
Indifference toward one little' boy is ended. Al
though his name was foreign, he was an Ameri
can child, yet we Americans let little Jo go Into
the mine*, and the school superintendent tells
m* there are 3.000 boys under age in the Bhen
feßdoah City mines. There are probably 10.000
or 12.000 boys under fourteen in the mines, and
these are only a fraction of our great army of
child laborers."
Mr. Lovejoy urged the Sunshine members to
*'rtte to Senator Dolliver favoring the passage
of the three child labor bills now before Coa
f interest TofbMEN
gress. "l don't speak." he aald. "for little Jo.
who betas dead yet speaketn. but for the thou
sands of other children much less fortunate than
he."
"That story of little Jo has unnerved me,"
confessed Dr. Adelaide Walterstein, of the West
Side Clinic, who came next. "It's stories like
that that make me bitter when I hear of women
wearing $30,000 worth of diamonds on their
slippers. Women who haven't a drop of anar
chistic blood in their veins, who love their coun
try and the President— oh, this sort of thins
makes them bitter."
After Dr. Wallerstein had explained the work
she hopes to accomplish through her clinic,
where 150 children will be daily cared for after
October, if all goes well. Eugene Whitney, of the
University Extension Society, told of the work
of his organization in furnishing teachers of
cooking, sewing, manual training, etc.. to over
three hundred settlements and similar organ
izations, and sanitation and hygiene in thirty
public schools. He also spoke particularly of
their mothers' meetings.
"Our work is to teach people to keep healthy.'
he said; "then they won't need to know what to
do when they're sick."
Miss Helen Varick Boswell spoke for the gen
eral welfare. "We all know men who employ
labor." she said. "Let's see that they treat their
people fairly, so far as we can. I think we all
have the yearning of the old lady Miss Fair
field told about, to make something grow." And
she told of an old darkey who. pausing in ad
miration before a window garden of sweetpeas,
exclaimed: "My Lord! If some pussons was
to plant Jewsharps they'd be sure to come up
planners!"
The last speaker was Mrs. Ralph Trautmann,
president of the Woman's Health Protective As
sociation, who dwelt on the indifference of the
American publio as the real root of the child
labor evil.
"When we hear of little children using snuff
to keep awake with, and of foremen who flick
cold water in the faces of the tots who are
under them so that they may not fall asleep.
and of babies pulling basting threads in sweat
shop garments — O, women." she broke- off with
emotion, "these children are born the same as
ours; they want their play and sunshine the
came as ours. And we as women and mothers
should see they have jt."
During: the programme there was some agree
able music by Miss Helen Craig, a little thir
teen-year-old Sunbeam from Arlington, N. J;
Miss Wilma Anderson, pianist; Miss Nilea,
soprano, and Miss Ruth Anderson Reohr, violin.

Small Epidemic in Home for Friendless Puts
Off Festivities.
The annual meeting of the American Female
Guardian Society and Home for the Friendless took
place yesterday morning at the home in Woody
crest avenue, but was not followed by the usual

home, and four little ones came down with it two
weeks ago. They were removed to the Willard
Parker Hospital, where they are doing as well as
can be expected, and there have been no new
cases since. But under the circumstances it was
thought best to hold the annual meeting as quietly
as possible and postpone the festivities that usu
ally accompany ft tifi fall. The children will not
however be cheated out of the annual picnic ar
ranged for them by Miss Helen Gould. This will
take place on Saturday. May 2«.

SHOEE OFFENDERS PROMISE REFORM.
Allege That Recent Strike Made Use of Soft
Coal Necessary.
There were about fifty-five oases on the calen
dar of the Special Sessions Court yesterday morn
ing for violation of Section 96 of the Sanitary Code
in reference to the escape of snioke within the city
limits. In nearly every case the defendant pleaded
guilty, and gave as an excuse that during the coal
strike it was impossible to obtain hard coal.
Many of the defendants said they had already
made arrangements for smoke consumers. The
Judges suspended sentence, but warned the offend
ers that if they were arrested again for the same
offence the court would be severe.
In the case against the Ansonia the defendant
was discharged on the technical ground that it
was not shown that he wa* the owner of the hotel
at the time the smoke escaped. He alleged that
the corporation cwner of the. hotel should have
been arrested.
The contention nf the Anti-Smoke League that
the law wns aderjuate is borne out by the convic
tion of more offenders within one month than dur
ing four years past.
Y. W. C. A. CONFERENCE AT PARIS.

opment of the association. The conference will be
in session for a week.
DR. HUNTER'S ANNUAL REPORT.
Particular interest attaches to the thirty-fifth an
nual report of the president of the Normal College.
Dr. Thomas Hunter, which has just been issued,
because of the recent appointment by the board of
trustees of the college of a special committee to
report recommendations for its reorganization. The
committee has not yet reported, but it is under
stood that it will recommend, among other things,
the separation of the preparatory department, or
high school, from the college department. This
proposal Dr. Hunter opposes in advance, on the
ground that colleges like the Normal College and
the College of the City of New York cannot be fully
supplied with students without at least one pre
paratory school. This department la the survival
of a system which prevailed before the establish
ment of secondary education in New York, and
those who "advocate its separation from the college
cay that there is no longer any reason for its ex
istence in this connection.
The advisory committee, of which Henry H. Sher
man is chairman, is also expected to recommend
the merging of the Training School for Teachers in
the Normal College.

GENERAL MARKET REPORT.
™™»™ ~ New York. May 16. 19061
(-OFFEB— The coffee market was much more active
to-day, tales for the day being reported of 88.000 bags.
Prices also ruled firmer. The opening was S points
higher . and the market closed steady at a net advance,
or 5 to 10 points. The opening advance was In sym
pathy with steady European market*, both Hamburg and
Havre being »4 higher, while the Improved demand noted
seemed to be stimulated by reports of a strike on the Paul
ista Railroad, which was expected to lead to a decided
railing oft in the receipts. The Brazilian markets also
made a goM showing. Santo* being 100 ret* higher, with
Rio unchanged, although there was a slight advance In
the rate of Brazilian exchange, and there were rumors
that reduced crop estimate* were being received at Santos,
although nothing definite could be learned In this direc
tion. Europe was a moderate buyer here. One of the
features of the trading was the demand from a large
all Street house which has bees concerned on the buy-
Ins; side of most of the bull movements which have oc
curred in coffee for the last few years, and there was also
a demand from some large roasting interests. Receipts
for the day were lighter, the two ports getting only
13.000 bags, and Jundtahy receipts were nil. showing
apparently that the tie-up in transportation facilities has
been thorough How long it win last remains a ques
tion and usually a falling off from such a cause Is com
pensated for upon the resuming of transportation by the
movement of accumulations. The market for spot coffee
was steady, with quotations on the basis of 7?ie for Rio
The range of contract prices In th« local market to
day was as follows:

COTTON — The bulls were more aggressive during to
oay s aeselon in the cotton market, and near months
"old at a new high level for the movement, with the gen
eral list closing at a not advance of 7to 11 points. Sales
for the day were estimated at 250.000 bales. The open-
Ing was steady at an advance of 2 to 6 points In re
sponse to higher cables and the big spot sales In the Eng
lish market. 15.000 bales at unchanged price*. Right
after the call here a broker, supposed to be. working for
or with the local hull leader, bid 11.450 for 50.000 May.
and about the same time a prominent New Orleans
operator Md 11.32 c for 50.000 bales in the Southern mar
ket. Neither bidder got much cotton at the price, but
after selling at 11.47 c. May dropped back to 11 44c under
selling by spot people and realizing by scattering longs,
who considered the early weather map favorable and re
ceipts rather heavy. But there was no active pressure
against the market, the bulls continued to support and
prices gradually worked higher during the middle ses
sion, showing the greatest firmness in the late trading
when shorts were Influenced by private report* of rains
I In Northern Texas and predictions for an overflow of the
Red River Valley. The close was steady and within a
point or two of the top. Southern spot markets were
generally unchanged, with a fair demand at 1 or %
points. Locally spot sales were 1.130 bales, mostly for
export. The local bull leader Issued a circular reiterat
ing his opinion of the market, but the underlying In
fluence appeared to be the continued big trade demand, de
creasing supplies and less bearish expectations as to the
June 3 report.
The range of contract prices in the local market to

GRAlN— WHEAT— lnfluenced by another bullish array
of crop news, including complaints that red rust had ap
peared in Texas and Oklahoma, th* wheat market de
veloped activity and strength to-day, closing in New
York from He to Ho above the previous night and close
to top for the day. In addition to active covering there
was a further Increase of outside buying, notably from
the Southwest, giving added significance to the crop
damage reports. Missouri. Illinois and Indiana also con
tributed a share to the general run of bull crop advloes,
reports from the first named indicating more or less
damage to wheat from hot. dry weather. It being evident
from this that the recent rains In Southwest state*,
mainly in Kansas, were not sufficient to afford any per
manent relief. Other factors connected with the day's
firmness wepe better Liverpool rabies than expected, fairly
large clearances, light Northwest receipts, with the Min
neapolis stock already 1.000.000 bush behind last week,
and likely to show i.NV>,OOO logs by the end of the week,
and strong outside markets. The Paris market was up 8
to 10 points, but Berlin closed 1% mark* lower anj
Budapest was on* 12 points. The movement figures, owing
to rather liberal receipts at Chicago, were larger than
they have been running, the total at Interior points
amounting to 466.000 bush, compared with 125.000 bush
last year. Broomhtll cabled that the Azof and Caucasus
districts of Russia were complaining of hot. dry weather.
From start to finish th* domestic markets showed a
steadily advancing disposition, except that In the last half
hour there was a slight setback due to profit taking. Ex
port business amounted to 5 loads. No 2 red wheat in
New York closed at »2c In elevator and* 93c fob afloat;
No 1 Northern Duluth. 91 Vc. and No 1 Northern Mani
toba 9040 fob afloat. CORN — corn market showed
a good deal more strength than weather conditions and
the talk about a prospective Increase of receipts seemed
to Justify A good deal of the buying was based on the
strength of wheat, in connection with small stocks,
larger clearances and present light arrivals at Chicago,
which for the moment give bulls the upper hand In near
positions. Quite a little excitement developed in the local
market near the close, when shorts ran the price up
sharply the final level being Ike to \c above the pre
vious night. ■ Liverpool was uncharged. There was very
little cash demand, only one load being reported on ex
port account. In the New York market No 2 corn closed
at 57c nominal in elevator and SS'»c fob afloat; No 2
white. 57Hc. and No 2 yellow. 57c fob afloat, both
nominal. OATS— With other market* oats were in a firm

was not thought wise to change the lias of values at the

seem as If we were close to some decline. Just as long
