Carnegie's library Idea was attacked at
the Conference of Charities and Correc
tion- today by Kabbl Stephen B. Wise of
■ the Tree synagogue, New York.
Without naming Mr. Carnegie,l. Rabbi
Wise said: "To call a man who has
crushed his enemies, singly and in
groups, a piddle benefactor Is ■ lie. We
need Justice more than libraries."
BUFFALO, N. V., June 13.— ses

secretary of the national child labor
committee for the southern states', at

of southern manufacturers that condi

the numbers Of toiling children are
rapidly decreasing and the evil Itasn

ers are mainly Bohemians brought
from Baltimore. During the summer
season they are employed In the fruit
and vegetable canning Industry of
Maryland, whose child labor law has
a special exemption for the canning
" industry. The communities where
they are employed testify to the pitiful
plight in which the workers often find
themselves.
Children Numerous
"Their, children are numerous, and
from 8 years old and upward are em
ployed in shucking the oysters piled
upon tram cars, after having been run
through a steam heated chamber. Out
of one force of 160 hands at work I
counted thirty-five children not over
10 years old, apparently. From the
peculiar conditions of their employ
ment they have absolutely no chance
for an education. .'•__-' '. •*-.' l
"The cigar industry in Tampa, Key
West, and to a lesser degree in Rich

employs a large number of children. |
In Tampa alone the number of chil

from a few -ore to over a thousand.
Formerly only Spanish and Cuban chil
dren were employed, but now a great
number of the native white people of

'their children may learn this trade.
The inevitable off. will be the low
ering of the wage scale in what is now
a high waged Industry.
"The students of the child labor
problem know that the cotton mill has
always been cursed with child labor
and its natural accompaniment of long
hours and low wages. On account of
non-enforcement of laws, themselves
defective, southern cotton mills are
conspicuous for the employment of
.children. Hundreds of them have been
photographed at work, within the last
year, and they arc- but typical of tens
of thousands of them working from
ten to twelve hours a day or night
The evil is too great to be concealed,
and the children too numerous to he
hidden. There is no possible excuse for
such wholesale abuse of childhood."
WISCONSIN ADOPTS
NEW COUPON BALLOT

.Yj';' Allows Illiterate Citizens to
Vote Intelligently ,
(Special to The II- raid 1
MADISON. Wis., June 13.—The legis
lature of this state has passed by a
decisive vote a, bill providing for the
use ..I a coupon ballot at all elections.
This ballot, which is the patented
invention of a Wisconsin man, con
sists of several sheets of thin card
board, perforated into coupons anel
stapled together at the- top. Each sheet
has a different color and the consecu
tively numbered coupons of a single
political party. Each coupon bears tho
name of a single candidate for office.
There is also a folder which may '■•■
sealed, having spaces to receive the
coupons voted and numbered to cor
respond to them. Still another en
velope receives the portions of the bal
lot not voted. ■»
To vote a straight ticket the voter
tears off the whole- sheet of coupons
of the party of his choice; if he splits
ills ticket he tears from the several
sheets the coupons of the candidates
of his choice; he then places the
voted coupons in the folder and th -
unvoted ones in the envelope and seals
both In the presence of the judges. Ex
periment has shown that a voter can
vote with ease In forty-five seconds.
Eliminates Fraud
The advantages claimed for the new
ballot, called the "pocket ballot and
coupon voting system," are that it
will give the country districts which
.cannot afford a voting machine all of
the latter's advantages. It absolutely
. will eliminate the possibility of fraud,
makes Independent voting as easy as
-voting , straight tickets, enables Illit
erate voters to vote Intelligently and
without possibility. of mistake, cutj
down the expense of elections enor
mously and may be counted at the rate
■ of from one hundred to one hundred
and fifty an hour.
■■:..; The ■: matter of adopting this ballot
was.three times before as many legis
latures in this sttae. Once it passed
both houses of the legislature and re
ceived the .signature of Governor (now
Senator) La Follette, hut failed to pass
a popular referendum, to which it was

TARIFF DEBATE
SOON TO END
ALDRICH BELIEVES SATURDAY
WILL CLOSE WRANGLE
Income Tax Amendment to Be Con.
sidered Friday Lumber, Paper
and Zinc Among Articles
Yet to Be Decided
i
IBy Associated Pre...) j
WASHINGTON, June 13.—The feel- '
Ing in the senate is that the- tariff de- ;
bate Is approaching the end.
Senator Aldrich is hopeful that the
end may be reached by next Saturday. I
The progressive Republicans are not \
■0 optimistic, but Senator Beveridge
says the final vote will not be post- '
poned beyond the end of next week. .
The Income tax amendments will be
taken up Friday, and a vote may be ,
reached on that proposition then.
With the exception of one disputed
point in the silk schedule, the senate
last week concluded its second consid
eration of the bill and disposed of all
paragraphs of the schedule on which
the committee had reported. -
Among the more Important schedules
still to be considered are those per
taining to lumber, wood pulp, print
paper, hides, coal, line, window glass,
scrap Iron, cotton ties, cotton bagging,
leather goods, binding twine and petro
leum.
Rough lumbA remains on the dutia
ble list, but Ha- amount of duty and
the differential i.a the manufactured
article remain to be settled.
Duty on Pulp and Paper
It seems probable the ground wood
or pulp will be- left free, but that the
rat. on print paper will be made $4
per ton Instead of $2 as fixed by the
house, or $6 as in the present law.
Indications are that the senate will
place a duty on tildes, Coal and petro
leum.
There is a demand for a reduction
under a reclassification of the window
glass schedule, but no prediction as to
the result can be made.
The- southern senators are making an
earnest though probably an unsuccess
ful effort to have cotton ties and cot
ton bagging admitted duty free, and
the binding twine provision has been
held up until the cotton tie question
could be decided, probably on the
theory that the northwestern senators
could be prevailed upon to combine
"with the southern senators in the In
terest of the two articles.
The leather schedule, hiding lea
ther itself, and leather goods, is await-|
ing the decision on hides.
The schedule on pineapples has not
been fixed. On this article the Florida
senators ask an Increase.
It is uncertain how the decision of
the finance committee on maximum and
minimum rates will be received. It Is
generally undedstood the committee
will recommend a drawback provision
along the lines of the present law
lather than the house provision.
Duty on; Petroleum
The senate committee on finance win
In all probability recommend that a
duty be imposed upon rude ami refined
petroleum and the products of pe
troleum, in spite- of the lion of the
house in putting these articles on, th
free list.
This subject was the most Important
of many matters discussed at a meet
ing of the Republican members of the
committee today. ■ '
Indications are that crude oil will be

Louisiana Purchase exposition. On the
' opening day of the Seattle exposition
there were 89,500 persons on the
i grounds, and the attendance has stead
, ily kept up. Excursion trains are daily
. pouring vast multitudes into Seattle,
j and as the summer advances and the
I farming contingent sees its way clear
I to take a holiday there is little doubt
j that the crowds will Increase. As th"
I prosperity of the west is on the up
I grade and the prospect for crops is ex-
made dutiable at a quarter of a cent a
gallon, and on refined petroleum a rata
of 25 per tent ad valorem will he levied.
Many members of the senate favored
the countervailing duty of petroleum,
but the representatives of oil-producing
states did not favor it.
The sentiment of the committee Is in
favor of reducing the rate on bitumin
ous coal from 67 cents to 60 cents a
ton, but the Wyoming senators say
western Canadian coal would come into
the frilled States at the lesser rate
and the Wyoming coal fields could not
compete with it.
According to the view expressed in
the committee, however, representa
tives of the largest coal fields of this
country agree the 50-cent rate will
afford protection to American coal.
Regardless of the fact that southern
senators have been able to hold up the
provision for free binding twine, for tho
northwestern farmer pending disposi
tion of the cotton bagging question, the
committee does not recommend that
bagging be placed on the free list.
On photographic postcards litho
graphed In colors a rate of 15 cents a
pound and 25 per cent ad valorem will
be recommended. This Is a large in
crease over-the existing rate.

NEW YORK, June 13.-There has
been a renewal of activity in pig iron
In the past few days, and contracts ag
gregating 750,000 tons have been placed
for shipment over the third quarter of
the year. Steel construction and bridge
works have ordered 25,000 tons of basle
iron, while castlron pipes have been
the largest purchasers or forge and
foundry grades with contracts still
pending for 30,000 tons. Prices of forge
grades have advanced about 25 cents
a ton. ■■'.'•-.
Fabricated steel contracts placed
during the Meek have aggregated
about 35,000 tons and tenders have
been made on as much more.
Railroad work has been relatively
light. Most of the. building contractu
placed have been small individually.
Harriman Places Orders
Rail contracts have'aggregated 80,
--000 tons and contracts are now pending
for 200,000 tons, of which 150,000 tons
are for the- Harriman lines and have
already been allotted, but there is som.j
controversy in i regard to specifica
tions.
Since June 1 contracts for fourteen
steamers and five torpedo boats have
been placed with eastern shipyards,
and contracts for eight additional ves
sels are pending.
Since the first of the year,railroads
have placed orders for 22.000 cars, and
6000 \ more will be s placed within the

MANILA, June 13.—8r1g.-Gen. Harry
H. Bandholtz, chief of the Philippine
constabulary, who is at present on a
tour of Inspection In the island of
Jolo, at once will proceed to Davao,
the scene of the mutiny of the second
company of constabulary on June 6,
news of which reached here yesterday.
General Bandholtz will assume per
sonal command of the constabulary
forces in the field, which have been
sent In pursuit of the mutineers. ■
The Insular government Is determined
to make an example' of the mutinous
Visayans, who fled to the mountain
fastnesses in the Interior with rifles
and equipments, and the pursuit will
he pressed with the utmost vigor un
til the last of the mutinous band has
been captured.
Several columns of troops, both regu
lar and constabulary, are already in
the field. -
Acting Governor General Forbes,
who returned today from the province
of Pampanga and soon was in confer
ence with Maj.-Gen. William P. Du
vall, commanding the division of the
Philippines, said: "This affair, deplor
able as it seems to have been, has
not changed my opinion of the native
constabulary nor my belief In the gen
eral excellence or loyalty of the
forces. Judgment may be reserved un
til we receive further details of the
mutiny and the causes that brought It
about."
No additional details of the mutiny
and of the three hours' fight made by
Governor Walker and the Americans
in the. church at Davao have been re
ceived here.
No telegraphs connect with Davao,
which lies in the southeastern part of
Mindanao and is the capital of the
provinces of the same name.
The only communication is by steam

..a the extreme southwestern point of
Mindanao, or from Malabang. .
There are no Indications of any ex
tensive military plans aside from the
ordering of several detachments to fol

HONOLULU, June 13.—Fifteen of tho
Japanese strike leaders, arrested yes
terday on indictments returned by the
grand Jury,, were given a preliminary
hearing today.
District Judge W. L. Whitney held
twelve of them for trial on charges of
conspiring to riot, and three for con
spiracy to murder.
The energetic action taken by the
territorial authorities, it is believed,
will make military interference and
the declaration of martial law in any
part of .the Hawaiian islands un
necessary.
When the territorial district court
convened in extraordinary session for
the preliminary examination of the
strike leaders, Sheriff Jarrett, with the
approval of Presiding Judge W. J.
Robinson, ordered that no crowds be
allowed to assemble about the court
house during the hearing of the cases
against -the Japanese, on the ground
that it was likely to lead to disorder
and disturbance of the peace.
This order was rigidly enforced by a
large detail of police.
Issue Proclamation
Following the action of the court In
holding the indicted Japanese for trial
William P. Henry, territorial high
sheriff, united with County" Sheriff Jar

forbidding the assembling of large
crowds anywhere In the territory while

With thousands of idle Japanese ex
cited over the arrest and trial or" their
countrymen the authorities deemed It
wise to prevent the assembly of strik
ers in numbers that might lead to dis
order and violence.
The authorities declare the evidence
adduced before the grand Jury yes
terday and the papers seized Friday
when the officers of the Japanese news
paper Ji.il and those of the- Japenese
Higher Wage association were raided,
furnished abundant ground for the be
lief that the strikers Intended from
the beginning to resort to Intimida
tion and violence in their effort to
control the sugar industry and eventu
ally the Internal affairs of the terri
tory.
. Whole Plot Disclosed
District Attorney W. A, Kinney, who
has charge of the prosecution of the
alleged conspirators, stated today the
evidence in the possession of the au
thorities discloses the entire plan of
the strike leaders from the inception
of the agitation for higher wages.
The plan, he alleged. Included the
controlling of the strike by a secret
committee and the frying on of a
campaign among the Japanese laborers
through the columns of the Nlppu and
the JiJI, two newspapers controlled by
the leaders: the accumulation of funds
for the hiring of attorneys to defend
and furnish ball money for these placed
under arrest as a result of their ac
tivity; punishment by strikers, or
otherwise, of such planters as opposed
the program, and a boycott of such
of their own countrymen as refused
their co-operation.

SAN PEDRO, June 13.—Former Stale
Senator D. L. Wlthington, for several
years past engaged in the practice of
law in Honolulu, who Is making a brief
visit to this city, where he resided prior
to going to "Hawaii, Is not inclined to
take seriously the reports from the isl
ands about the alleged Japanese con
spiracy. __
This evening he said that such cable
advices as he had received since he left
the islands a fortnight ago indicate the
strike is abating.
Asked as to the Japanese newspaper
Jill. In whoso office incendiary docu
ments are reported tcS have been found.
Senator Wlthington said the Jiii Is the .
least"lnfluential of Japanese papers In
Honolulu. - ■
It is the strikers' organ and has been
suspected of inspiring attacks upon
Japanese who hesitated about Joining
the strike. It was probably because of
that suspicion that the place was
raided. • , _. „ ,
Mr. Withington said the Influential
white citizens of Hawaii have no fears
as to the ability of the United States
to take care of Its Island territory.
He saw nothing in the present situa
tion to cause people to be concerned
over the bogy of Japanese domination.

Of LOS ANGELES MAN
(Continued from Paae One*
toward the last he had rallied won
derfully, both physically and mcrntally.
and that at the time of his death: his
brain seemed perfectly clear. -
The body was brought by Mrs. 1 ar
sons to this- city and turned # over' to
Pierce Brother! to perform the last
offices of the body before the final dis
posal of the remains. .. „..-' ,^.
Because of grief and worry Mrs.
Par-cons did not make a careful in
vestigation into the cause of her hus
band's death, but she stated last night
that at the time and to the present
shcjiolleved and does believe that her
husband's death ' was caused by the
brutal Injuries received by him, as
told her, and she stated that her ob
laot In making known, the facts sur
rounding his death at the present time
was to aid In tha prevention of such
treatment. of . patients at tho" asylum
and changing of condition there so that
relatives and friends of patients might
have some assurance that they -were
being, kindly; treated. V
" "EdwardJL._. Parsons was a man of
high mental attainments and rational
on every subject except that of auto
mobiles and airships, of which he had
marvelous' ideas for . improvement.
When on this subject he became Ir
rational and at times violent when his
theories were disputed, and, according
to his statements, the attendants and
nurses at the asylum seemed to take
a malicious delight In teasing him
about his Inventions and arousing him
to anger by laughing at his theories
and ridiculing his ideas. . . .
At Patton last night Dr.. Eustace
Wilson, - the acting: superintendent,
stated when asked about the death of
Parsons that-the patient, had died of
injuries received In a flght with an
other patient of the name of Phosole.
■ lie stated that while Parsons., was
walking around in the yard for exer
cise he had spit In the face of Phosole
and that the latter had attacked and
beat Parsons so badly that he died.
