PLACES JOINT STATEHOOD BILL. conceding that the joint statehood bill will pass through thd House at Washington, Washington, the "Insurgents" practically admit that in spite of the unlimited means placed at their disposal to defeat the bill they were unable either .to "dupe, wheedle or buy a majority of the votes necessary. to defeat, the measure. This speaks well for the members of the lower house who this time at least are going to consider the wishes of the people who elected them and not the special interests of a few privileged persons or corporations. , Vhat action the Senate .will' take when the bill comes before their, notice is another matter. As is pretty well known the Senate has come to a point where it considers itself the final arbiter of what is best for the American people. Often this final judgment has favored the interests of a very few Americans to the detriment of. the rest. If such is the case this time it is safe to predict that the .joint statehood bill will not pass the Senate censorship. On the other hand, however, " if the Senate, deep in its fight with' the President over rate regulation, thinks that it can pull the wool over the public's eyes by alTecting to pass a measure important to the public welfare and therefore get public opinion switched over to its side, it is possible that the bill may pass. UNITED STATES' NAVY . COULD WHIP JAPAN'S Educator Declares President Thinks America Would Win if the Ships were Matched. Washington, I). C., Jan. 25. "We would whip Japan if the navies of the two countries were matched tfhip for ship and man for man," said President Roosevelt today, in a talk with Dr. James Sherrer, S. C, so the educator says. Dr. Scherer has lived five years in Japan, where he was a tutor. When he visited the White House today the President asked Dr. Sherrer a great many questions about Japan, the Japanese navy, and the fighting qualities of Japanese ships and men. Mr. Scherrer stated tha he believes the Japanese navy, man for man, is the best in the world, but the President contended that the American navy, man for man, is the best and expressed the belief that this country, if it should ever have a war with Japan, would defeat the Japanese if the navies were matched ship for ship. President Roosevelt expressed the highest, admiration forthe excellent fighting qualities of the Japanese and spoke in the most extravagant manner of their magnificent fighting machines. The conversation is reported by Scherrer, who left for Ne.w York this afternoon. He will be the

FORTUNES ARE WON IN A YEAR

SENATOR CLARK, COPPER KING HAS DOUBLED HIS NTJ- ' MEROUS MILLIONS. GATES'PROFITS $10,000,000 Others Who Have Added to Already Large Fortunes on Wall Street in 1905. New Yor, Jan. 25. Some' marvelous fortunes have been made in Wall Street the . last year. To name the big winners of the stock market is only to recount the men already rich and known to the public; No new multi-millionaire has come up. The prizes have gone to the same men who get them year after year, says a New York letter to the Kansas City Star. The public has held aloof, as usual, while there was money to be made. Such men as Andrew Carnegie, J. P. Morgan, J. J. Hill, Jacob Schilf, the Vanderbilts, Harriman and John D. Rockefeller, have become so rich it is no longer interesting to tell of their added wealth, for they themselves or for the public,,. . These men are so rich it is impossible to enjoy the pursuit., ;; "It takes dollar chasers like John W. Gates, Joseph Hoadley,' Jefferson M. Levy, Charles M. Schwab or Edward Washerman to stir the blood and all of these have won millions in the last year. Gates has hadlns usual fun with the "conservative" element. He scared J. P. Morgan into' takingthe Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton railroad oil Zimmerman's hand and laughed heartily when Morgan discovered it was a gold brick. , With the aid of Joseph II. Hoadley he captured the great Tennessee Coal and Iron company, and is even now organizing a new, steel trust wnicn he intends to force Morgan to pur chase for the United States Steel Corporation. Part of the price to be exacted 'will be a seat for Gates on the Steel Trust board.- -Gates has made all the money he wants, and he hvfinancei ior:.tfae excitement of the thing. He likes action, and for, that reason ifiw been one of the leading spirits in the 1 Anaconda and Amalgamated moves t the last few years.: His profits for the year may be placed at ten million dollars conservatively. ...... 'v- ' - But Congressman Levy .is, probably as aeavy a winner as uaies ior.ine year. lie nas oeen singularly ioriunate in every move -lie has made. He is perhaps the largest private stock holder in the world of Canadian Pa cific, the "Soo" issues and Anaconda. He got his line of these below par all of them. Canadian Pacific has advanced $45 a share in the last year and the "Soo' stock $50, and Anaconda has nearly trebled in value. He is one of the international operators and begins his day of trading at his 5 o'clock breakfast with cabled orders to London. It was Levy who first discovered the great value of Anaconda, and lie wras one of the. first to accept the theory that the tremendous output of gold meant fabulously high prices for stocks. Senator W. A. Clark, has added 50 per cent to his fortune in the year by discovering in his mines the same vein of ore that has sent Anaconda leaDinjr to such dizzy prices. Hoad ley 's winnings for the year have not all been turned in jash, not, indeed, are they all safe yet, for he has millions involved in cotton. All the monev he made, in cornering- the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company has been pledged to support the cam paign of the planters in cotton. It is well understood in Wall street now that control of that company passed to Gates through Hoadley last spring, but Gates went through the formali ty of a campaign this winer to relieve the "Hanover bank crowd" of the shame of having to admit defeat in a stock market battle with Hoadley, Hoadlev is a good-natured man and guest of President Wilson of Prince ton. lie came to Washington to invite President Roosevelt to deliver an ad dress at the semi-acentennial celebra tion of the establishment of the col lege. i ne i-resicient expressed re gret that he would not be able to at

several times a 5 millionaire in the year because of his operations in Reading. It is only little more than a year ago that Reading was Tricking about Wall Street a hundred points below its present level.s H. C. Frick Morgan, A. J. Cassatt and other coal barOns, have shared in. the added value of Reading, but the othersalready were abnormally rich. "Charles M. Schwab has had the great satisfaction of seeing his steel stock rise to the level from which it collapsed four years ago. He was an open and enthusiastic buyer of the stock at bottom prices and 'must have made tens of millions in profit. His most brilliant exploit has been to make about five million dollars by picking up on the "New York curb market at 15 cents a share control of the Tonopah Mining Company. : The mine has proved a bonanza and its shares, which are $1 par,' are now quoted at above $14, which is double the price of Standard Oil stock.. WOMEN. DISCUSS PERIL OF NEW YORK WORKING GIRLS Wages $4 to $5 a Week Board and Boom. $6 Indifference of the . Rich. New York, Jan. 25. Three women and two ministers discussed at the people's meeting at the church of the Epiphany yesterday ' the conditions under which the working girl maintains herself in New York. "What can we do to right the wrongs of the working women?" was answered oy Mrs. Frederick Walhany president of the Consumers' League;1 Mrs. J. G. Phelps Stokes, who was Miss Rose Pastor; and Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch. All of the speakers agreed the conditions were wretched."There are 300,000 working women in New Yor," said one speaker. "The average wage, paid is from $4 to $Va week. The lowest price for a decent room with board is $G." ' ' What the working girl needs is that attitude from the people of wealth which will lead them to be utterly unwilling to receive the benefits in share dividends produced ' under conditions detrimental to the health happiness and spiritual welfare of their factory and workshop sisters," sdid Mrs. Stokes. What-is .most needed here is the awakening of a larger sense vof justice in those who control and maintain the baneful conditions under which the working girl must work if she will not starve. A few dollars or even a few cents less in dividends distributed over the entire stock is sue of a few companies would mean ittle to the holders of that stock, but often it would mean the ditierenee vbetwten life and death, both physically and spiritually, of hun dreds and 'thousands of working iris. "And in what a great number of cases nas not tue starvation wage brought the necessity for earning a ittle more after the day's work is lone?" f The Palladium wanis the news.

MODERN PROBLEM OF MARRIED LIFE MAKES AN INTERESTING DISCUSSION. IDEAS OF A CHICAGO CLUB 1 Many Conflicting Opinions One l Woman Thinks Real Love Will Overcome Short Purse. (Chicago Tribune.) It is certainly a discouraging problem for the young man of today if the average girl is no willing to undertake married life on a small income, for most- of our attractive girls do not care for, it. " A girl musn't expect to marry to be taken care of. Usually she finds she has to take care of some one elset Marriage for a girl means hard work, "Any two young people who don't think enough of each other to get married on less than $1,000 a year, haven't much love, any way." These remarks represent; the conclusion reached by a majority of the women present at a, recent meeting of the Department of Home and Philanthropy of the Ravenswood Woman's club. It was a , conclusion derived largely from the personal experience of members of the .club, and reached only after lively discussion in which the- opponents of early marriages proved to be in a hopeless minority. . " The argument was started by Mrs. H. M. Matte-son, who. addressed the club on the question, "Should a Couple Marry on Less than 1,000 per Annum ?" ' - "I hope she won't make any of . us who were so unfortunate feel badly this afternoon," said Mrs. F. L. Selden, the chairman, as she introduced the speaker. Mrs. Matteson presented the following schedule of yearly expenditures for consideration., "This is for a young couple," she said, "and assumes that they are to live in Ravenswood. Locality, of . course, is an important factor in determining this problem." Rent ,a good apartment .....$ Food .. ..................... Clothing . . House Furnishings Fuel and light . . . 4 ....... . Car, fare , ....... i... Occasioal hired help, laundry, etc 240 240 125 50 40 30 85 Sundries, such as insurance , books, amusements, church, ' charity, etc . . 190 Total .. ... . ..........$1,000 "Two persons ought to live well and entertain more or less on $20 a month for food," she said. "My bills for several months have not averaged more than $30, and that is for five people. I am supposing that the prospective bride knows how to cook, and knows how to cook well. Every girl should. "The amount to be expended for clothing and furnishings the ' first year will depend on the respective trousseaux and not on the generosity of friends in the way of ""wedding presents. But the bride will have to adopt a high and serene attitude toward clothes. She will have to remember that fortunes are built in State Street on the whims of women. "She will have to rember too, that manufacturers set stvles for their own benefit. I have some hope, though, since the bustle was rejected recently, and the crinoline is having no great vogue, that woman is becom ing a free moral agent. "1 he amount of car fare will de pend on how many matinees the young woman attends. A little should be saved trora the income al ways, and it can be saved. 1 1 ni - t ft - . a iiis sounus like an anmment m favor of beginning on a limited in come. I am afraid most of j-ou will wHl not agree with me, but why notf Oar most desirable and congenial young men are not earning large sal aries. It is largely the way a girl is brought up that determines wneicer sue must marry an uncongenial old man with a large income, or an attractive young man with little A man 'stability should not be judg ea Djynis earning, a nere are many menlike the women in Ecclesiastes 'Tlieir price is above rubies. " As Mrs. Matteson finished, the chairman declared, the meeting open for discussion. Mrs. Gail was on her feet in an instant. ;

"I don rt agree with Ir& Matte

son,"- she paid. 'I believe that the man who marries on a 1,000 a .year, expecting to be happy, will have . a different idea at the end pf the first year. And I have still greater doubts as to the state of mind of the young woman." Mrs. Gail, however, was promptly squelched. "The couple should move out of Ravenswood if they can't live here," exclaimed Mrs. John McLaughlin. "Anything to encourage their getting married.' "Most of us began that way, anyway,". said Mrs. George "Dupuy, sothingly. "I remember one month when my husband's total income was just twenty-five cents. f I don 't believe in a man's marrying unless he has something in his head or in his hand for furnishing a living, and I don't believe in waiting for a large income." "We lived four years on just $520 a . j-eaf," 'put in Mrs. George York. "This, included every expense except our rent-? we had a house. This was in a 'good, respectable neighborhood." . .'.- t Mrs. York's remark was greeted with applause.

WANTS CITY TO OWN COWS ILLINOIS PROFESSOR FOR MUir,.-, NICIPAL DAIRY. John M. Trueman Tells Producers That Better Milk Could Be Sold it One. Concern Governed Chicago, 111., Jan. 25. Municipal ownership of the milk industry in Chicago, as a means of eliminating the peddling of "milk that kills, 'I of reducing the price of milk, and; ultimately improving the general health of the people, was advocated by Prof John M. Trueman, head of the dairy department of the University of Illinois, in a speech before the -Milk Producers' institute, which has penedits first annual session in the Y. M. C A, auditorium. Mr. Trueman lias devoted the last eight months to a ktudy of the Chicago mil 1c ; prob lem. . ' ' i For the benefit of the people of Chicago," he said, "I would iather see the milk business in this city. haiv the street railway system placed under municipal ownership. Think low much cheaper the milk could be sold, if one concern governed the disribution of it. . , , "I believe i Chicago has the best milk supply and the lowest . death rate of the large cities in the - world.

Many deaths in this city result from the inferior milk used. " '' i " - ' '" - ", ", ." .. "How can you account for it," one or tne larmers' present asKea, that the milk which leaves our farms testing as high as 3.8 per cent of butter fat, reaches the consumer barely within the legal limityof 3 per cent?" ' No one ventured a reply, but the pitcher of water on the speaker's table was eyed suspiciously by the ariners. BUFFET LUNCH EVERY SATURDAY EVENING AT THE WESTCOTT.
