"certain elemental virtues must be Incul
cated in childhood and youth, and a ten-'
tatlve course of instruction to this and is
offered.
It starts with tha teaching; In tha kin
dergarten of tidiness, obedience and self
sacrifice, considers in the grammar gradea
the inculcating of Individual . virtues like
patriotism, courage and determination, and
concludes with a high school course cover
ing the relations of tha Individuals to so
ciety, to avocation and the state, and the
study of the family as the foundation of
society.

WASHINGTON, July 1 "Infamoua"
and ' "third degree methods" were terms
used by President Oompera -of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor In denouncing tha
arrest of the men charred with dynamiting
tha Los Angeles Times building at a hear
ing today before the senate pedal com
mittee for the investigation of police meth
ods of ferreting crime.
Mr.. Oompera complained - against tha
manner of arrests of John J. McNamara
at Indianapolis and J. BV McNamara at
Detroit . (......
"The right of the meanest man of our
citizenship must be respected," 'said Mr.
Gompers. - "I heed not argue that to tha
United States senators, for It la grounded
Into our system of government." .
; He said the Indianapolis arrest was ap
parently "staged," one newspaper "having
the story of the arrest set up" and the
edition held up "until the arrests could
be pulled off." He claimed McNamara
was .taken before a court which, Instead of
Inquiring whether he waa a fugitive from
justice, merely - Investigated the' personal
identity of the prisoner, - The witness said
McNamara waa denied counsel and re
moved to California over 'so many rail
roads that, he could 'not be. released .on
habeas corpus.
! Impeachment of Justice Daniel T.' Wright
f tha' minrein'a ' fikitrt Jf - thai Tttmfi4r ,
Columbia was suggested by Mr. Oompera.
Mr. Gompers' complaint was against' Jus-
tics Wright's course in. the Bucks Stove
and Range company .contempt proceedings
against the American Federation of lbr.
, Mr.1 Oompera told the committee that he
knew the senate could not begin Impeach
ment proceedings. ' .
.'1 do know that" if we had the recall In
the District ' of " Columbia," ' added Mr.'
Gompers, "that Justice Wright Would have
been recalled before this. .
! "I do not think the recall la aa good as
Impeachment generally," suggested Senator

"There Is not a man In the United States

Referring to the "kidnaping" at Haywood.
Moyer and Pettlhone, from Colorado Into
Idaho, Mr. Oompers said;. 1 .
' "What wa ahould have done then was to
have paraued the kidnapers."
Senator Borah of Idaho, who waa a spe
cial prosecuting attorney at the trial of the
labor men in Idaho, declared In that case
the law was at least technically followed
out and that whatever moral offenses were
oommltted In removing the men were In
order to bring to trial men against whom
there wss a prima facie case.
Senator Borah added that In the Ms
Namara case the question m his mind Waa
whether the . court had Jurisdiction and
whether it had been "seen" before ' tha
men were brought before It '
"I would like to have the name of the
Judge that - we may call him before ua,"
added Senator Borah.

The Impeachment suggestion came at the
Close of a review of tha contempt: pro
ceedings waged In tha local courts by tha
Buck's company against President Oom

Secretary Frank Morrison of the. feder
ation of Labor. , ; , , . . .
"The sentences Imposed by ', Justice
Wright In that proceeding are un parallelled
In the history of the Jurisprudence of this
country," declared Mr. Oompera. "There
Is no other case on record whera there
was an Imposition of more than six months'
Imprisonment upon any one found guilty
of contempt of court." .
In the Debacae In which Ufa waa lost
be said the sentence was six months. In a
lynching case from Tenneee the chief of
fender was sentenced U ninety daya In
Jail. That waa contempt against the su
preme court of the United States.

Dj . the charges an opportunity had been given
H i the defendanta to apologias. ,

LINCOLN, Juiy H.-Bpeclsl Telegram.
Referee Robert E. Evans of Dakota county
has filed his findings of fact and conclu
sions . of law, and recommends that the
supreme ' court enter, ' Judgment of ouster
against Chief of Police John 3. Donahue
of Omaha. The resort of the referee' will
bo acted upon by the . court at the fall
term In' the September period. -
At the request ot Governor Shallenberger,
Attorney General W. T. Thompson insti
tuted quo warranto proceedings a year ago
In the supreme court) alleging that the
Chief, ot Poltce had wilfully failed and re
fused to enforce laws against the Illegal
sale of liquor ia Omaha and laws against
houses of prostitution. The suit was filed
under the provision of the Sackett law, an
act passed by the legislature of 1907, which
provided that officers who failed to en
force laws which It is their duty to enforce
may be ousted from' office .by' Judgment ot
the ' state supreme court. Arthur Mullen,
who succeeded Mr Thompson as attorney
general took testimony In' the case before
Referee EVans, - who , had 1 been appointed
referee by ' the1 supreme court; ' 'After
; Grant Martin becatn attorney general
under i the A Id rich administration,' he em
ployed Mr. Mullen to continue the prose
rutios of jtho'caae. , '' ' .
'.- What Referee flaae. ' . ' ,
' The referee finds that during the twelve
months preceding August U 1910, Intoxtcat
lng"lit)uora have been aold without a license
St several places and that' Donahue, . the
respondent, had notice of, these facts and
that, ha ..wilfully, failed, neglected and re
fused to enforce the lawa by, causing the
arrest of the persons so engaged. ' The
referee says:
"It cannot be seriously contended but
that houses of prostitution were running
openly In the city of . Omaha during the
last two years of respondent's term of of
fice, , and that each week day there was
laid before him. reports which carried to
him that Information. The evidence ahows
the actual sales ot Intoxicating liquors
for money openly paid, the several trans
actions being such that the only conclusion
to be arrived at la that the violators had
no fear of the officers of the law, and to
indicate that the officers did not wish to
know all violations of the liquor lawa.1
; ' Owaelaaloas at Law.
. The referee In hie conclusions of law says
the charge In the information alleging the
willful failure to enforce the ordinances of
the city "of Omaha by causing the arrest of
those guilty of running houses of prostl
tutlon does not set forth facta sufficient to
allow to constitute a cause of action under
tha Sackett law. No ordinance la pleaded
In the Information making It a crime to
run a bouse of prostitution. The Sackett
law la designed to secure the equal en
forcement of , law throughout the state.
The enforcement of Its ordinances is left
to the city. An act . which would not be
unlawful but for the ordinance or la made
unlawful by the ordinance, is not within
the scope of the words "any law," as used
in the Sackett law. The referee finds that
charge In , the Information alleging the
willful failure to enforce the laws of the
state by causing the arrest of per ems
guilty of running houses - of prostitution
sets forth a cause of action against the
respondent. The general charge of Illegal
sales of Intoxicating liquors without a li
cense and at Illegal hours Is held sufficient
What It TMaaas. ' " '
In closing the referee says: "This action
Is not a criminal action, and the Judgment
of ouater aa made was not Intended by the
legislature to be a punishment of the re
spondent. The purpose of the lawmaking
body was to secure the prompt and proper
enforcement of law over every portion of
l he stats. The effect upon the respondent
ia only an Incldeqt to the relief sought by
enforcement of the law. Judgment should
be rendered In favor of the state and
against the respondent" ' ,

When Enrico Alfano ana his , associates

was an "International agreement atandlng
by Itself."
Senator Burton added that he did not
believe the farmers as a whole would suf-.
fer from the lemoval of the duty on
wheat.
"Why not put flour on the free list then?"
asked Senator Cummins.
"I am willing flour should be put on
the free list If it can be done without en
dangering this reciprocity agreement" re
turned Senator Burton. "But If you want
free flour why don't you take it up courage
ously aa an independent proposition, in
stead of trying to tack It on this bill at a
rider?' . . .
Before a vote on the free flour amend
ment was taken the sensts agreed to an
adjournment until next Monday and all the
other amedmeats went over until that
Ume. ' .
Senator Simmons of North Carolina
headed off the vote on free flour by ask
ing postponement until Monday, so that
he might speak on amendments of his own
similar to thoss offered by Senator Cum
mins. Absent senators who can reach Washing,
ton will be notified no that more than the
slim quorum of today will be on hand for
the final disposition of the amendments.

8URF Cal.. July 8. Second Officer E.
Heuson and three seamen of the steamer
Santa Rosa of tha Pacific coast stesm
ship, which went aahors at Point Arguello
yesterday, were drowned when a life boat
capslxed, while the passengers of the
wrecked vessel were being ' taken ashore .
by the crew. ' Last night Unconfirmed re
ports are that a number of passengers,
variously estimated at from three to twenty
are missing. Owing to the Isolation of the
scene of the wreck and difficulty In the
operation of the wireless and telegraph
lines, accurate Information waa unobtaln
abla at a lata hour.
The known dead:
E. HEUSON, second officer, Berkeley,
Cal.
FRED JOHNSON. Seaman.
JOHN P. 8IFFER, seaman.
E. W. JEDSEN, seaman.,
'The four members of the crew all live
In San Francisco. The Santa Rosa went
sshore Just before dawn at the mouth of
the Hoda creek.
Searchlight Respeaslble.
It la supposed that a powerful searchlight
used by a gang of railroad laborera work
ing near the wreck waa the cause of the
vessel leaving Its course, the quartermaster
mistaking It for the light of the Point Ar- ',
guello lighthouse. The vessel lay about 100
yards from the shore near Saddle Rock,
where the Yankee Blade waa wrecked sev-
eral years ago.
When the boat struck, tha Injury did not
appear to be serious and Captain Farlar,
believing he would be able to float the
Santa Rosa, made no attempt to land the
passengers. A sharp wind, rising soon
after 4 o'clock, threatened to rack the boat
to pieces and hasty preparations were
made to take the passengers and 1 crew
ashore. At 6:80 o'clock a heavy awell
cracked the vessel amidships and at s
o'clock It split in two.
There were T7S persons on board, moat
of whom had taken refuge In the forward
edition, as the stern of the boat had re
ceived , the . brunt ot the attack of the
waves.
Captain J. O. Faria, commander ot ths
wrecked steamer Santa Rosa, made a state
ment today placlna the blame for ths,
accident upon . Third Officer Thomas;, who ..'
waa officer of the deck . when tha Santa . .
Rosa plunged upon the rocks before dawn
yesterday morning.,' '-..j
Thomas. In defense, stated that he "overt
read" the ahlp's log, and thought he was
off Point Conception, several miles south
of tha point whera the steamer grounded.'
Captain Faria aald the current sets hard
here near the point ; where the - steamer
struck and that Thomas neglected to call
him as Is customary, svhen soundings were -
taken.
The vexsel is a total loss.
EIGHT PAHEMGHRI ARB MISSING
Great lafferlag Asanas; Survivor
-Many Are Hysterical. '
SANTA BARBARA, Cal.. July 8. In spits
of assertions from company officials and
ship's officers to the contrary, the passen
gers of the wrecked steamer Santa Rosa,
who arrived here early today after a thrill
ing battle with the breakera that smashed
the stranded ship, declare that mors than
four sailors lost their lives. .'
One hundred and ninety -two passengers
are all that have been accounted for so
far, say tha survivors. .There were 300 on
the steamer and many-of. the rescued de

Many a small merchant
wonders whether he can
afford to advertise. .
He wonders if he can
compete with his 6mall
copy against the big copy
of the very large 6tores.
Ho might answer these Ques
tions flrat: Can be afford to
run a small store Instead of a
big one? Can he afford to
carry a little insurance Instead
of a great deal? Can he' afford
to live In a small bouse Instead
of a mansion? Can ho afford
to travel on a street car Instead
of an automobile?
The whole thing Is gauged by
the size of his business and the
slzo of his pocketbook.
He needs advertising for a
small store Just as mucn as a
largo one does How can be
expect his store to grow big un
less he advertises? He would
be Just as foolish to rent mora
room than he needs, as to buy
more advertising than ho needs
but be can't get along with
none.
There Is no uncertainty about
advertising. There Is not a
bit more question ot people
learning about your goods. It
you tell them about them orten
enough and long enough, tb.au
there is about your child learn
ing in school, if you send the
youngster there day a'ter day
