Sessions Under Way in Each of Nine Sections Into Which Irogram Been Divided

INDIANAPOLIS, Irrd., May 11.— TVith the preliminaries out of the way, the forty-third annual meeting of the Rational Conference of Charities and Corrections began the real work of Its Bfessions here today. Meetings were held in each of the nine sections into Which the work of the conference has been grouped.

Before the section on feeble mindedaess and insanity, Dr. Edward H. Ochsner, of Chicago, of che Illinois state commission, urged the permanent segregation of the mehtai and moral defective. "The chances of a mentally and morally defective person having a numberous progeny," Dr. Ochsner said, "a large per cent of whom will attain maturity and in turn will have numerous offspring, ds probably greater today than it ever has been In the world's history."

Closer co-operation with newspaper reporters as a means to keep the work of the charity organization efforts beore the public was suggested by Miss Charlotte Belle Mann, of Baltimore, a former newspaper worker, Who spoke before the American Association for Organizing Charities, one of the allied societies. She said the best way to arouse interes*. in the work was through «be news story and that to get the news stories, the reporters must be interested. Miss Mann said that while "sob stories" helped flbr the moment, their effect was fleeting.

the tender flesh. These are but a very few of the little folks cared for at the nursery.

A very noticeable part of the children's play was the fact that they did not quarrel. I asked about it, it seemed impossible for so many children to be placed together without some squabbling.

Peace Dove Emblem.

"Sometimes we get a quarrelsome child in," Mrs. Brown said, "and that is really the only time I ever dread the care of tho children. But where there are so many little folks they soon learn the lesson of 'give and take' and fall Into the proper line. In their play room, too, I have placed a picture of Jesus on trial before Pilate. I have explained to all the children the meaning of the picture and also that he sees them in everything: they do. Often when a new child or even one of the older ones gets fussy, I can hear the others say to it, 'Jesus is looking at you,' and the trouble stops at once." Later when I looked through the play room, I saw a number of other biblical pictures and quotations that have been read to the little folks until .they all know them.

When the matron entered the yard where the youngsters were playing, half a dozen of the smaller ones made a mad dash for her, swinging on to her arms and her clothing, teasing her, plying her with questions or playing a joke. They are a bunch of happy children and so long as widowed mothers and others whose good-for-nothing husbands desert them and are not made to Bupport their families, such an institution as the Nursery is a blessing for them. To be sure, mothers' pensions would eliminate this, but Indiana hasn't placed this law on her statute books as yet.

Helps Mother Along.

Mothers may take their little ones to the Nursery at 7 o'clock and leave them there until 6. Often, however, when necessity demands, the rules are bent so that the children may be taken before 7 and left until after 6 in the evening. They are given a morning lunch, a wholesome noon meal and an afternoon lunch for the small sum of five cents a day.

There are a few things the little folks of the Nursery need very bad, it seems to me. They have nothing except a sandpile for outdoor amusement, and, of course, their own little games. It does seem to me that these tots are entitled to some lawn swings. Don't you think so, too? Surely some person or persons have swings they could donate.

it was right that they should have clean

Mr. Stewart admitted the funeral clause had been violated, and that in some cases mines had been shut down for five days, and that he considered it a violation of contract to do this.

Mr. Stewart opposed any commission to fix the cost of safety lamps, saying that this condition :vould be met when it arrived. Mr. Penna said at present the miners were using oil and carbide lamps and were purchasing their own lamps and fuel. He said it was the plan of the operators to purchase the safety lamps and keep then.- in condition and charge the men a certain amount for their use.

In referring to the use of safety lamps Mr. Stewart said that in a certain mine in this section there was a demand that the miners use safety lamps, the management claiming that the present lamps caused explosions, but that in this same mine electrio motors were used that blazed and were as dangerous or more so than the lamps of the miners.. Closing his statement Mr. Stewart said if the operators would take the dangerous electric power out of the mine the miners would give them the safety lamps.

The operators present at the session were H. M. Dies. E. I. Logsden, T. M. Byers, Charles Hill, John Templeton, John Hewitt, Duncan Medill, H. M. Ferguson, H. B. Talley, Paul Zimmerman, W. B. Stewart, Val Martin, George H. Richards, Robert Smith, M. TJ. Gould, J. T. Connery, J. C. Kolsem, F. H. Penna, W. J. Freeman, J. H. Persons, O. H. Hartin, J. J. Higgins, J. H. McClelland and W. E. Eppert.

Strip miners and operators will meet here next week to draw up a new contract, it was announced Thursday. Notices for the convention are now being prepared.

KENTUCKIANS FACE STRIKE.

Miners Vote to Reject Ultimatum Submitted By Operators. LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 11.— Whether a strike of the six thousand union miners employed in the western Kentucky coal fields should be declared depended upon the action of the Western Kentucky Coal Operators' association following presentation here today by the miners committee of a report of the vote of delegates from forty-one local unions of District No. 23, United Mine Workers of America, taken on May 9, at Central City, Ky., by a vote of 39 to 2, it was decided not to accept the operators' ultimatum, which offers the old wage scale, but which the miners' claim has attached conditions amounting to a wage reduction. The miners are contending for a continuation of last year's scale and working oonditions.

Today's action followed a series of meetings since March in which miners and operators in Joint session failed to reach an agreement, though both sides made concessions from their orginal demands following expiration of the 1916 wage scale agreement April 1.

GUN "TOTERS" RELEASED.

Court Advises Prisoner to Have Big Weapon Mounted. Herman Leach, 200 South Eleventh street, charged with carrying concealed weapons, and Albert House, 219 South Eighth street, charged with firing a revolver in the city limits were released in City Court Thursday morn ing.

Leach said he was taking the gun home and stopped to show it to House, who when handling it accidentally discharged it.

Secretary Baker said there was nothing to confirm border reports that Gen. Scott had served an ultimatum upon Qen. Obregoo for p, final answer upon acceptance or rejection of the tentative protocol. It was expected here that Gen. Obregon would present counter proposals In writing, particularly regarding fixing a date for ultimate withdrawal of American forces.

More Troops Cross?

The war department had no report early today on another incursion into American territory at Blocker's ranch near Eagle Pass, Tex There were also no official ad v'lces that American troops had actually crossed the border in the Big Bend region, although It was believed probable that some had dohe so.

American r"onsul3 throughout Mexico have been instructed to again call attention of Americans to the state department's reported warnings that this government regards their presence there as undesirable. Secretary Lansing has stated that ever since the present difficulty arose the department's agents have been urging Americans to leave. The last census pf Americans* in Mexico taker by the state department six weeks ngo showed less than 3,000 throughout the country. Most of them are near Mexico City and extreme east and west coasts, few remaining in Chihuahua and Sonora.

Secretary Lansing said the new instructions sent yesterday to the consuls to renew attention to Americans that the department desires to have them leave Mexico, was primarily to secure reports regarding the result of their endeavors so far.

A company of infantry slept on their arms last night that they might be prepared for action if trouble should develop. Construction of trenches and earth works about the camp continued today. These all are being dug at some distance beyond the camp lines. Everything is in readiness for the arrival of the New JVIexico national guard, 1,200 strong, some of the: companies of which are expected tonight or tomorrow.
