PLACES WREATH
ON KEY'S T
Tafts Tribute to Man Who
Wrote the "Star Spangled !
Banner."
1'rederlck. Md., November 15. ? Pros
Ident Taft came over Into the I'redcr- j
Ich Valley to-day to advocate his ar?
bitration treaties In a speech before
the Aesorlatrd Boards of Trade of j
Maryland at the operu house here, and
to lay a wreath at the tomb of Francis
.Scott Key. author of the'-Star Spangled
Hunner."
It whs the biggest day this little
town has had since Barbara Frltchle
waved her flag at Stonewall Jackson's,
men and drew a poem from the pen
of .Whlttler. Hundreds of twentieth
century Barbaras waved flags at the
President to-day and drew nods of
recognition from him.
The house where Barbara Frltchle
lived, long ago torn down, had stood
by a bridge, over which the President |
passed. The site was pointed out to
him and the motor car pauBed for an
Instant white the President looked.
The President's address was sub?
stantially the same advocacy of the ,
treaties which he had made In speeches j
on the 15,000-nille trip J\iet finished.
The President repeated his arguments]
that the arbitration treaties should
be ratified hy the Senate because the
day of universal peace was only being ,
postponed by the delay. There were j
many Intimation.", he said that other j
nations were merely waiting the out-]
corns of the negotiations between the
Culled States, Orcal Britain and
France.
The Journey to Key's tomb was made
In a falling twilight, and It was quit
dark when the procession turned the
cemetery gate.
Over a carpet of fallen leaves the !
President Jed the procession and cur?
ing his head, laid a wreath at the has-.- ,
of the monument. He also placed at:
Other, brought by the citizens of Fred- i
erlck. There were no formalities and
no speech.
Then the President and bis party
turned down the hill and took the i
special train bsck to Washington. |
REGRET THAT AMERICANS
FAILED OF RECOGNITION.
I'rltcn Awarded by the Jurors at .
International Art Kslilbltloo
la Home.
Rome. November 15.?The grand
Jury at the International Art exposi?
tion, to whom Is Intrusted the final
award of prizes, to-day decided ten ;
grand prizes for paintings and sculp-'
/ tir.ii,? arid night grund prizes for
workers In black and white, and many
second prizes. Pour of tho eleven
jurors are Italians.
All of the Jurors express regret that
the American artists were deprived of
the recognition due them. They were
excluded from the competition because
of the closing of the American pavilion
by the American commissioner-gen?
eral, Harrlsou S. Morris, on October
31, when the Insurance was permitted
to lapse. He was not willing to cx
pose, the $000,000 worth of exhibits
to the danger of loss by fire.
It is agreed that If the American
works had been judged, John Singer
Sargent would have received a grand ?
prize, while the black and white ex- .
hlblts of .lessslc WlllCOX Smith, Eliza?
beth Shlppen Green and Jules llerln
and the McC.laughen and Webster cx- |
hlbits of etchings wore the beat ,
shown.
Joseph Rennen, who Is n member of ;
the jury, was much distressed that no ?
prizes could go to America, hut said
that the Judging was perfectly fair.
SERVE PENNY LUNCHES
Plan Adopted at Many Chicago Public
Schools.
Chicago, III., November le.? Penny
lunches, which the school board as
Hit experiment begun to serv* a few
months ago, have developed into a
part of the curriculum in several of
the public schools here. They have |
been found to be of great value in
making the children more plump and ;
the bruins more active.
Hefore tho lunches were instituted j
many Of the children seemed backward j
in their studies. It was found that:
nearly all of these came -from faml- j
lies In straitened circumstances. Then '
tho scVbol hoard began the lunches
to see If ft was food that was needel.
In h short time It was found that there
was a remarkable Improvement.
At a school on the North Side Italian
district yesterday 20:1 children wero
fed. They disposed of seventeen loaves j
of bread. g?nerottsly spread with hin?
ter and tnolassef. und six gallons- of I
milk. In addition to being fed, the]
children am taught table etiquette.

Cape Charles. Va.. November 15.?
The post-oftlee at this place was en?
tered last night and registered pack?
ages taken. The rotVbers gained en?
trance through a side window. The I
robbers evidently were novices, as the
safe, an - ordinary fireproof one, con?
taining qulto a sum of money, was not
disturbed. There Is no clue to the
identity of the burglars. Several sus?
picious looking persons have been seen
in this vicinity during tho last several
days, and the authorities aro endeavor?
ing to round them up.'
The value of tho packages taken has
not been ascertained.

OF CONVENTION
(Continued From Flrit Page.)
biology and public health. Massachu?
setts Institute of Technology.
Mr. Qetteiny's paper explained the
lasting benellta and revolutionizing ie
forms affected by legislative enactment
In Massachusetts In enforcing strict,
accounting and careful regulation of
the power to Moat loans. Cnlllte the
paper on "The Thralldom of Massachu?
setts Cities" of the day before, it
found that instead of militating uga'nst
effective municipal government, tho
Legislature effectively' protects it
against extravagance and exploitation.
I?r. Levy on Local Situation.
Mr. tl(inn's paper called forth the
Widest discussion of the day, most of
|hc speakers indorsing the stand taken
In It, although differing from It In
minor details. !>r. K. <\ Levy, chief
health officer of Richmond, opened the
discussion by takln? exception to what
he called undue emphails on tho part
of Mr. tlunn on the Idea of enforcing
Btrict economy li. municipal health
work. He saw a difference between
expenses Incurred In work for safe
guarding the public health and expen?
diture.; for any ether city department, j
Human life, he said. Is a far different
thing from so many miles- of water]
pipes and so many blocks of paved
Streets. "We must get away front the
Idea." he Insisted, "that economy in
health work Is synonymous with the
expenditure of ilulo money. The sci
enco of public health Is still In Its
infancy, and It should be left a broader
Held and .supplied with ample means
to work out the system best suited
to the . ny's need?."
HoMpltnl for t'nntngloiiH Dlarasea. 1
Richmond's greatest need to-day, said ;
Hr. Levy. Is a hospital for comtnunl- |
? able diffuses. Such an institution, he;
said, would be the means of saving,
the city many times the amount It
would cost to erect one.
"The trouble with most American'
Cities," said Mr. Raker, "is that they:
Imagine a health department exists!
.solely for the suppression of bad odors j
and the carting away of g?rbu?;e. Iii I
some cities ihe.se duties consume!
$350,000 of the $400.000 appropriated to
the health department, leaving only
$00,000 for the prosecution of its real
work."
In the opinion of the speaker, public
health work In America suffers from
the scarcity of school* which ut'e able
to train proper men for the work. The
greatest need la technical schools to
turn out sanitary engineers and public
health specialists. "The doctor,'' li*
said. "Is Interest".) primarily In the
Kick man in bed. and only secondarily
in keeping the healthy man healthy."
City health departments are In greuter
need of sanitary engineers, he told the
convention, thun of physicians.
Dr. Otto Geler. of Cincinnati, who i
followed, admitted the need of the '
sanitary engineer, but was Inclined ]
to think that the greatest good to |
the greutest number will ultimately ;
be effected through the agency of the I
physician. He told of the great prog
ress made by. the Cincinnati Hoard of ?
Health since it was wrested from the
control of the Cox gang and placed in
the hands of a non-partisan comm's
slon.
The subject wls further discussed
by Dr. a. W. Lay. president of St.
Mary's Female College Raleigh, X. C.;
Dr. Hoy K. Flannagan, of the Virginia
State Health Department: Clliot Hunt
Pendleton, of Cincinnati; Richard N.
Dana, of Roston; John Wallace, sec-!
retary of Improvement League, Wheel?
ing, W. Va.; Lieutenant hhaw. of Xor
folk; Oliver McCllntOCk", of Pittsburgh. '
The last paper of the mornirig ses- '
slon was read by Arthur S. Kspey,
member of the Ohio State Legislature,
on the subject. "The Struggle for a '
Non-Partisan Municipal Ballot in
Ohio." It was briefly discussed by
Professor Robert C. Urooks, of the
University of Cincinnati.
Hotmlnar Health and Morals.
Problems having- to do with the
housing, health and morals of Amer?
ican i ities formed the subject of dis?
cussion at the round table luncheon,
width took place at 1 o'clock, and was
presided over by .lohn Stewart Bryan,
of Richmond. An address by John
llllder field secretary of the National
Housing Association, formed the prin?
cipal feature of the luncheon. Flve
mlnute comments rtn the address were
made by John Stewart Bryan and Miss
Elisabeth i'ocke, Richmond; President
S. C. Mitchell, of the University of
South Carolina; Walter R. McNIcll. and
Dr. K. C. Levy, Richmond.
Mr. Ihlder offered a comprehensive ;
outline of the work being done by
several cities In this direction, and ,
summed up the progress made so far.
He said In part:
"A life is coming to be regarded as
a commercial asset. It must be mode
to yield as much as possible on the
Investment; and sad though it muy
make some of us to admit It, therein
lies our hope of making our cities |
what the boosting clubs are so fond of
calling them?'cities of homes.'" I
Mr. Ihlder declared that American ?
city officials are not realizing us rap- ]
Idly as the men In control of big
manufacturing concerns are, that bet?
ter housing conditions mean higher
efficiency und better health amongst
workmen and citizens.
"Some of our industrial leaders have
begun to understand this," he said.
"There .'ire In the United States over
twenty Industrial villages or suburbs
created by men or corporations who
employ great numbers of workers. The
men responsible for them believed that
wholesome living conditions meant
more efficient workmen. Unable, to
provide wholesome living in the cities,
they moved outside.'1
Value of Human Life.
The value of a human life, he said, |
is being considered from an economic
clothes and doctors
than the strong, robust
and hearty.

rather than a sentimental standpoint, !
with the result that slums and un?
healthy parts of the cities are being
done away with.
"It la not due to pitiful tales of
eufrcring und wrong that our cities
are beginning to consider the possi?
bility of wiping out the slum." said
the speaker. "It Is due to the growing
realizations that the slum means an
economic loss: that Its presence Indi?
cates Ignorance on the part of the
citizens anj Inefficiency on the part
of the government."
Prom an Inquiry made amongst
health and police officials of leading
cities of tho country. Mr. Ihlder drew
the conclusion that in nearly all cities
tho full Import of unsanitary housing
of tho people Is not known. In many
places Investigations, are now being
made to determine just what effect
the evils of crowding and slum living
have on the people.
"Four miles from the worklngman's

said Mr. Ihlder, "Out of every 1,000

when a few leaders shall monopolize

set?"
Swlaa Electoral System.
Following the address on "Prefer?

of Cambridge, who was the first speak?
er of t!ie afternoon meeting, whleh
convened at 3 o'clock, William E. Rap
pard, of Harvard University, read a
paper on "The Swiss Electoral Sys?
tem." Mr. Rappard, who Is n Swiss by
birth, and a former resident of Gen?
eva, gave an authoritative account of j
the electoral system of the mountain
republic, with special reference to the |
operation and success of the Initiative,;
the referendum and the recall.
Before entering upon his review of I
Swiss government, he expressed It as
hit opinion that the Swiss republic
owed many of Its democratic Institu?
tions to tile early Constitutions of the
United States, from which It derived
many of lt.? reforms. The Initiative
and referendum, he said, has worked
well In Switzerland, and Is well estab
i llshed. On this point, he said:
i "Viewed In the light of Swiss oxpe
i Hence, the apprehensions of those who
I predict that the Initiative and referen
I dum lead to social revolution ure as
unfounded as the fears of those who
expect these Institutions to work
1 against all cultural progress. In Swit?
zerland the result ha.-.- simply been a
! legislation eminently characteristic of |
! the national temperament."

Executive of Idaho Says Presi?
dent's Act Brings Justice j
Into Disrepute.
Boise, Idaho. November 16.?Gover?
nor James H. Hawley to-day gave out
a signed statement addressed to the
people of Idaho, in which he condemn*
the action of President Taft In grant?
ing a pardon yesterday to Clarence W.'
Robnctt, bookkeeper In the Low Is ton
National Rank, of Lewist?n, Idaho. He
wan convicted of embezzling funds of
the -bank and was sentenced in ths !
Federal court at Idaho Springs to ten
years' imprisonment. He never en?
tered upon tho service of his sen?
tence.
"1 feel that the pardon of Robnctt
lu a Utting ueiiuel to the proceedings
In the United State? court during tho
last four years, while the special as?
sistants to the United States Attorney
General have been usurping the func?
tions of the United Slates Attorney
and his assistants, and have been run- '
nlng the cases In which the United
States has been Interested With a high
hand, regardless of justice or decency."
Tho statement sets forth:
i "1 am not bui prised at this pardon.,
I In fact, no act ever done In connection ;
1 with the courts of Idaho has so brought
justice Into disrepute nn3 weakened the '
courts in the estimation of our people.
"For more than four years, In iwcry
important case in which the I'n'ted
Slates was Interested, the regular
i prosecuting officers have been retired
[and these special assistants to the At
1 tor-General have been given full con
Itrol. Without the sltghtaet Interest In
our State, caring nothing for our peo
i pie. simply desirous of establishing a
' reputation In the Department of Jus
; lice, those special prosecutors have
\ don more to Injure Idaho and retard
Ks development since the fall of 1907
ihun all other causes combined.
I "The Injustice of till? action of PrcB

the special prosecutors, will long

TO GET RID OF
RHEUMA TISM
If we suffer with rheumatism and
desire to get rid of it we must make
up our minds to subject our systems
to the proper course oi treatment foi
a while. The only way to cure
oneself of Rheumatism is to remove
the cause?expel the irritating uric
acid from the blood; every other
method of treatment has proved a
failure. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism
because it is the greatest of all blood 1
purifiers. T!iis medicine goes down
into the circulation and expels every
particle o. the ?our, inflammatory
uric acid which iz the one great cause
of tho disease. The cure can be :
greatly liastenea by a little care and
sell denial b)' the patient. In the
Erst place -io not let a^thiug inter?
fere to prevent your taking S. S. S.
regularly and according to directions;
be guardec1 i ., '.ur eating, because
an attack ot in Igescion will always
aggravate the Synptonis of Rheuma?
tism. Do n I expose yourself to
.lamp and inclement weather any
more than is necessary. When S. S. S.
has had time to -id the blood of the
uric acid and strengthen the system,
then these li'tle restrictions can be
left off. This simple course has cured
many thousands of cases of Rheuma?
tism. Book on Rheumatism and any
medical advice iree. S. S. S. is sold
at drug stores.

remains that the city has won Its light >
With the municipal ash and garbage 1
men, emerging victorious from its
n st serious strike and establishing;
its power to dictate hours of labor to
Its many thousand employes.
Night work, to avoid which the
drivers struck, will be resumed as soon
as Ihe department can get Its force
of green men going smoothly.
The danger of a general teamsters'
strike remains, but, Judging from the
action of the union. It is remote,
though the Greater New York dis?
trict council of tlie International
Brotherhood of Teamsters voted last
night In favor of an assessment to
support the striking drivers.
As rapidly hs possible the Street
Cleaning Department will 1111 the
places of the imported strikebreakers
with recruits from the civil service

had a similar contest last year and
Youtsny won, though tho balloting con?
test was so fast and furious and the
vote, so close that Jett made applica?
tion afterward to Warden Mudd to con?
test the election. Politics has not fig?

walls and the men have not dlvldod
strictly on party lines, but this time
much partisan fooling has been work
id up. Voutsey has the support of
the Republicans and disgruntled Dem?
