MILWAUKEE. Wis., July 17.-(Spclal
Telegram.) Mayor Kmll Seldel, the first
mayor In the United States to be elected
executive head of a first class city upon
the socialist ticket, bears upon his should
ers a burden which will either set socialism
ahead a score of years in America or retard
U for that length of time. He believes that
Mayor Qaynor, the chief executive of New
York City, the biggest and most Important
municipality of the western hemisphere, la
alHo a socialist at heart. Mayor Seldel has
computed some of his views, which are as
follows: i
"Lots of people have a mistaken Idea of
socialism. They think that all leaders, of
tills party should rant and rave and at
tempt, some kind of revolution. This Is
nonseuso of the rankest kind, for Instance,
Mayor Uaynor of New York is a socialist
at heart, although he would not admit It.
Yet 1 daresay he considers himself one of
the moat conservatve executives In Amer
ica. "To my mind one of the biggest things
Mayor Qaynor has accomplished is the
abolition, of useless combinations that eat
up the people's money without doing them
any good. 1 wish I could reform the Mil
waukee police force the way Mayor Uaynor
has reformed, the New York police force.
In fact, socialist as I am. Mayor Uaynor
hus done many things which I intend to
Imitate in my city if I can.
Friend of the Children.
"When I get out of the mayor's chair I
would rather have It said of me that Emtl
Seldel was the children's friend, that he
had made children happy and healthful and
tried to give them a good start In life than
I would to be called the greatest mayor in
America.
"I want to see home rule for Milwaukee.
"I want to see every man, woman and
Child protected.
"I want to see the property of every
householder and every corporation pro-
t - flail .
'wa he to' a tpublie df f Ica'ra V-tf. decent
pay and I want the city to get every oent
that is coming to it
"We are not running this city for any
one class of people.
"The best man gets the Job with me, no
matter what party he is affiliated with.
"One of rny experts dug up an old ordi
nance which gave the city authority to en
force all health ordinances against public
utility companies as well as against private
corporations. The rest was easy. We just
put policemen around the car barns and
would not allow a street car taken out
until it was properly cleaned and inspected.
"A list of saloons against which com
plaints were made has been carefully kept.
Every arrest has been recorded, every vio
lation of the city or state ordinance has
been put down.
License Are Held Up.
"When . the proprietor of these placea
have applied for a renewal of their respec
tive licenses, the license commission has re
fused to grant the necessary permit. In
thl way more tlmn 100 disreputable saloons
have been cloned. This ha had a raarvel
pusly uplifting effect on the other places
where liquor haa been sold and today no
city in the country can boast of such ord
erly saloons as Milwaukee.
"I bclluve In personal liberty.
"I believe that the saloon, when properly
conducted. Is a benefit, rather than a
letriment. It affords a place of anmre
ment and relaxation from the carea and
worries of everyday life.. Here, in Mil
waukee, some of our saloons furnish really
statute music; nearly all of them also
furnish cheap and good food. They may
be really csjlcd the 'poor man's club.'
"I want to seo "Milwaukee and, every
other city in A merle adopt aome uniform
ttyle of opening up new rrltory whore
the people can have room to live and grow
Mid keep helpful. My Idea Is for the city
to buy aH new lands, plot them and then
?ut them on the market. You may think
that this Is Utopian, but I'll UII you, sr,
nothing waa ever more practical.
"The city of Milwaukee is not afraid of
any corporation, no matter how blg.it is,
. and we'll get more money from the street
car companies In the end. W had a lot
of fun making them clean up their cars
and properly hct and ventilate them, but
e have succeeded and now our street cars
re no longer germ iadVen." '

Steamship Lines
Break All Former
Travel Records
More Than a Quarter of a Million
Americans Journey Across the
Atlantic This Year.
NEW YORK. July 17 (Special Telegram )
The backbone of the season's tremendous
exodus to Europe is broken.
When the New York of the American
line, the Celtic of the White Star line, the
Ancona of the Italian line, Cincinnati of
the Hamburg-American line, Furnessla. of
the Anchor line, Minneapolis of the At
lantic Transport line and the Lapland of
the Red Star line left their piers Saturday
the crest of the eastward migration passed.
Never In the history of shipping has
there been such a year for the trans-Atlantic
lines: World's records for carrying
people hnvo been broken and the big ves
sels of every available company have
paesed previous marks.
' The Lutiitanla of the Cunard line, with 983
cabin passengers stowed between Its decks,
carried off the palm of the world's largest
passenger list, exceeding the previous
mark of Ml, which It brought westward on
Its maiden trip.
Early In the year the rush eastward com
menced. Figure show that from January
1 to April 15. 33.250 first and second class
passengers sailed, and that up to the pres
ent time almost 130,000 have booked in the
first and second cabins of 100 steamers.
Third cabin and steerage have contributed
140,000, making the total for eastward sail
ings do; to 275,000.
Gugtave H. Schwab. American representa
tive of the North German Lloyd line, as
cribes the activity of 1910 in shipping to
several causes. He said:
"The primary reason for so many thou
sands seeking foreign shores is the Passion
Play at Oberammergau. This occurring
only once in every ten years, a great many
plan years ahead to attend, and to this
may be ascribed the early rush.
"Since the terribly hot weather has come
to New York this has been another In
centive to European travel, for reports
from the other side state constantly that
unusually cool weather haa been experi
enced there."
Officers of the various big ships make an
unusual statement In regard to the class
of passengers in their charge.
"Never In my life at sea," said a well
known purser, "have I seen so many trav
eler who have profited by the wills of
dead relatives. I should say fully a third
more people who would never reach Europe
by themselves have sailed Just on that
account Ordinary observation at the piers
will prove this, for there la a generous
sprinkling of people dressed In deep mourn
ing on every outgoing and Incoming ship."
On the other side of the Atlantic agents
aay there Is a veritable scramble to book
return sailings. Beginning with the mid
dle of August, until the end of October, the
line expect to do a tremendous westward
trade.
Imperial Valley
Officers of California Company Have
Long Talk -with President Taft
on Subject.
BEVERLY. Mass., July 17.-(Speclal
Telegram. )-k.The best way in which to save
the Imperial valley of California and
Mexico came up for' discussion here today.
President Taft talked over the situation
with William Itollablrd. receiver- of the
California Development aompar.y, which is
Interested in that region, and Captain Allan
Kay of Los Angeles, another Callfornlan
who la anxious to see something done.
Congress appropriated at the last selon
$1,000,000 to be used In protecting the Im
perial valley from Inundation by the Colo
rado river. 8everal year ago the Southern
Pacific railway and the government had
experiences, with that river when it over
flowed and formed the Saltnn sea. A re
currence of such an outbreak is feared
and action is demanded before next spring.
They directed that the matter be taken
up with the Interior department and the
executive office itself, will negotiate through
the State department with the Mexican
government.
According to tentative plans brought to
the president, a twenty-five-mile wing dam
oan be constructed at the point on ihe
Colorado river which Is thought to be most
dangerous. It could be built If necessary
In sixty days. It would hold the Colorado
within bounds and save the valley, which
la thickly populated and prosperous to a
high degree. Part of Ihe discussion was
devoted to consideration of how the Unltnd
States government be reimbursed for Its
expenditure. The president favored the ap
pointment of arbitrators, who should asset
on the benefits derived through the btilld
tng of this dam.
J. A. Ockerson, an engineer of the Mis
sissippi river commission, has been retained
by the government to examine the valley.

Lincoln Will Send Big Delegation
to Ad Men's Meeting; In Omaha
In Special Train.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, July 17.-(6peclal.)-The stand
ard for graduates from the normal schools
of the state very evidently Is going to cut
some Ice In the campaign for the nomina
tion of a republican candidate for state
superintendent The fact that many
tudent of the Peru Normal school were
not graduates because their credit failed
to measure up to the standard adopted by
the normaf board and agreed upon by . rep
resentative of all' the schools In the state
entitled to issue Certificates, haa Inspired
J. W. Crabtree to denounce the action of
the State Examining board In holding up
the certificate as an "outrage."
The records of the state house show there
was a conference of school men held Sep
tember 3, 1906, at which thirteen college
were represented. It had been found neces
sary to adopt some common standard upon
which graduation could be based. Mr.
Crabtree was preeent at that meeting and
at subsequent meetings hi plan waa ac
cepted by the various colleges. Later It
was adopted by the now defunct normal
board and by the regular normal board.
Printed copies cf the requirements were
sent to ' all the college for distribution
among tho student, all of which waa under
discussion for more than a school year,
all interested being given ample time to
acquaint themselves with Hie requirements.
With tho exception of the Peru normal
there was no trouble among the graduating
clasoes, as the principals except in a few
Instances recommended for graduation no
student whose credits did not measure up
to the standard. This was not true of Peru
as the record disclose and many were
turned down.
The record of the adoption of the stand
ard for the schools and Mr. Crabtree' part
In this work Is in the hands of the State
Examining board and State Superintendent
Bishop and it Is reported that several par
ties have written to member of the board
and to Mr. Bishop for the facts.

Must Be Taken to Hold the

LONDON, July 17. (Special Cablegram.)
Keen Interest Is felt on this side of the
Atlantic In the Panama congress at Buenos
Ayres. Long range observers of interna
tional legations believe the outcome will
have a far wider Influence upon world
politics and world markets than is gener
ally expected.
Here it Is' pointed out that the sessions
of the congress will be contemporaneous
with the beginning of the celebrations of
the. centennary of the movement for the
Independence of the South American reg
ions, once subject to the predecessors of
Alfonso XIII, and the theory is that "the
defendants of the triumphant revolutions
never1 can forget the aid they received
from Washington at the crisis of their
fourteen-year struggle for liberty."
r Berlin references to the congress, fore
casting success for the Washington diplo
macy, betray considerable uneasiness over
Mr. Knox'a opposition to commercial ex
tensions in his Instructions to Henry White
and the other delegates.
A leading German trade paper reminds
the Berlin authorities that "despite all the
Yankee efforts, German trade In South
America continues to lead all others," and
urge that 'suitable precautions must be
taken at this important Juncture of the
congress with the independence celebra
tions, and the Buenos Ayres agricultural
exhibition, against a loss of our commer
cial leadership south of Panama.'

Mrs. Mary Baker O. Eddy, -founder of the
Christian Science denomination, celebrated
her 89lh birthday quietly at her home here
yesterday. It was announced simultaneously
that Mrs. Eddy would personally take part
In the movement to drive out of the First
Church of Christ scientist, the "malicious

The officers of the church made tho em
phatic declaration today that "malicious
animal magnetism" and the offenders must
go. Word was sent to New York, Philadel
phia, and other cities to that effect. The
heresy trial eight months ago Involving
Mrs, August Stetson of New York, first
reader of the church and other caused a
scandal which engulfed Christian scientists
the country over. That was the Inception of
the term "malicious animal magnetism,"
The magnetism Implied In that term con
sists of a kind of hypnotism by which one
person, through the overpowering strength
of his mind, causes another to go slowly
Insane. Three suicide have been committed
since the Stetson trial In which Instances
the self-murderers left notes saying they
had been driven to self-destruction by
"malicious animal magnetism" practiced
upon them by other member of the church.
At the Stetson Trial.
It wa announced at the time of the Stet
son trial that "malicious animal magnetism"
would be excommunicated. But It continued.

and while It, was generally believed Mrs.
Eddy had jfiven up personal direction of
th affairs of the church, she will take
part In thl final struggle.
The spokesman for Mrs. Eddy said today
that excommunication Is to be pronounced
again; some of those who cherish Mrs.
