Fncionv t:e(i IIEflll . ADDRESS BY OTIS Donation of Federation of Labor to Alleged Dynav. miters Discussed. .

Nw York, May 1. Thenjuestion aa to where tbe money cam from to pay tbo man who dynamited tbo offices of th Los Angeles Times wss raised at the meeting of the National Manufacturers' association at the Waldorf-Astoria. ": . John Klrby, Jr., president of the organisation, said in the course of his annual report, that there had been a special assortment of about $200,000 at the Norfolk convention of tbe American Federation of Labor In November, 1908, to be placed at tbe disposal of Its eiecutive board to be used In fighting General Harrison Gray Otis, tbe proprietor of the Los Angeles Times. "At the 8t. Louis convention. November, 1820." continued Mr. Klrby. "the amount reported as remaining in. that fund was $89,000, which makes, pertinent tbe query: Were the vllliana who perpetrated that awful crime paid from that fund, and, if so, how jnuch? Carnival of Crime. MI make bold the assertion that many men, who coddle and encourage the principal heads of the organisation which alone is responsible for that crime, will not escape Just condemnation for the helplngtfiand they have extended to them in the promotion of the carnival of crime in which the organisation's agents are constantly engaged, and to continue which it is now trying (to raise another huge sum." General Otis was present at the meeting and told the manufacturers something about the explosclon which wrecked his newspaper building and killed 21 persons. "The question," he said, "is whether 'a small minority shall be permitted to dominate, the great majority of labor, which majority does not desire to antagonise employers. Regarding the great disaster which took place at Los Angeles on October 1, 1910, 1 only want to say that the loss of life and property there sustained, great as it ,was and deplorable aa it was, cannot compare In Importance with the great! cause at stake. Had the Los Angelest Times, Its workmen and Its owners all been destroyed the world would! have little reckoned nor long remem bered the event. "But the world can never forget the great principle of industrial liberty, which, aa sacred as any other form of liberty. Is menaced throughout the whole land. That Is what It means. waen one act oi violence ioiiowa another, until the perpertatora of. it become absolutely obsessed with the Idea that they mar win through the terrorism which they inspire and: through the cowing of the men who make and administer the laws. It is your part and mine, and the part of every other self-respecting citisen to continue the battle until this becomes In truth and reality the land of liberty, political and Industrial as well as per tonal, a land where those word represent realities and not the mere mouthlngs .of orators." The legislative committee of the Na tional association reported at the session to Senator LaFollette's bill in relation to tbo removal of government employes. The committee believes it would be dangeroua to permit government employes to take membership in organisations whose obligations might require them to take part In strikes and and boycotts against the public lxtsrtsts.

(Hosiery Manufacturers Are on Uneasy Seat. V ,. . American Newi Service) Philadelphia, May IS. Manufactur ers of hosiery and underwear in all parts of the country' are looking forward with intense interest to the annual meeting of tbe National Association of Hosiery snd Underwear manufacturers, which is scheduled to meet in this.city May 22 to 26 inclusive. The unusual interest manifested is due to tbe peculiar highly unsatisfactory conlidlUon In. the besiery and underwear hnanufacftiring industry. Tbe material falling off in tbe demand for tbe manu factured (products has made it practi cally imperative for the manufacturers to-cut-tad tbe production. But many of tthe manufacturers hesitate to adopt thla course unless all the mill owners In the association agree to follow the sane course. , It is expected that the situation will be thoroughly discussed at- the meeting next week and it is hoped that a general agreement will be reached among tbe members with a vlerr of reducing the production during the present depression of the hosiery trade. .

This U the first announcement to be made during the time the solicitors have been at work in the field, and It embodies only partial reports on their first days' work. Today will show even better results in the belief of Morton C. Pearson, chairman of the campaign committee, is verified. "AH of our solicitors are now In the field," . said Chairman' Pearson," and each one knows exactly the size of the job cut out for him. We are sharing responsibility in this campaign. It is not all being borne at headquarters. The field workers are responsible for a good showing in each district where they work, and the people of these districts should share in the responsibility also. We can succeed only in proportion to their generosity. "We have made a fine start and every day from now on wilt show us proceeding steadily and surely toward the goal of $50,000.

WILL lTAIII CHAIR Van Dyke to Stay at Princeton on Request. Princeton, N. J., May 19. Dr. Henry Van Dyke has withdrawn his resignation from the Murray professorship of English at Princeton, on the request of the trustees and students of the universlt. The announcement that Dr. Van Dyke had reconsidered his decision to sever bis connection with Princeton was made by him when he gave out a letted written to the committee of trustees appointed to confer with him. Tbe letter, which was a reply to the committee's request for a reconsideration, makes It plain that the causes of Dr. Van Dyke's resignation have been removed. Although at the time of his resignation Dr. Van Dyke made no public statement regarding his reasons for severing his connection with Princeton, it is evident that it was caused by his conviction that the factional hostilities among the faculty caused by last year's graduate college dispute had not subsided. The last letter of the committee of the trustees states that it is their deside that Princeton shall suffer no "distraction" in its academic efforts, which Dn Van Dyke takes as sufficient assurance of a policy of peace to cause him to continue his work in the university. Dr. Van Dyke's resignation was presented to the board of trustees on January 12, and was not accepted. About this time a committee representing the undergraduates called on the professor, requesting him to stay at Princeton. Dr. Van Dyke says that their influence was one of the strongest in helping him to make his decision. At a meeting of the board of trustees on April 13 Dr. Van Dyke's resignation was again laid upon the table, to give the committee of the trustees further opportunity to confer with him. The committee again asked Dr. Van Dyke to withdraw his resignation and in this letter he said: "It is gratifying to note that you recognize that the perennial rumors of my seeking the presidency of your body are entirely false and unwarrant-' ed. I do not know where they originated. But your frank disavowal now should lay them to rest and relieve me from the recurrent annoyance of being considered aa a candidate for an office contrary to my desires and altogether out of my line. ' The prospect of this relief is welcome. "The last subject touched in your letter is the most important. The reasons for my resignation have never been concealed nor personal. They have to do with the spirit and policy of Princeton for the future. Regarding peace and work as essential to the life of the university, I have ventured in the course of these long conferences, which you have invited, to put a certain persistent question. Tour last paragraph is in reply to this question. "If I understand you rightly the phrase 'without distraction is meant to express your wish and Intention that Princeton shall not -be distracted by personal rivalries and conflicts. Ton purpose that aho shall move for ward under a guidance disregarding academic politics to accomplish her three specific tasks as a university. "Understanding yon thus, with tbe consent of the board of trustees, I will gladly accede to your wish and withdraw sty resignation.'' as Ir. CaMaO"s J for B Oil

BRITISH RULE 1(1

STILL SAFE Any Change Would Be for the Worse People Physically Very Inferior: Calcutta. Bengal, India, May 19. There are 300,000,000 people in India. Not one man In fifty would be free of British rule if he could, because he never thought about that matter; not one man in 50,000 believes that India is ready for self-government; not one man of 'the extremists has ever proposed a definite, matured plan as to how, if British rule should end' suddenly or in the Immediate future, they would carry on the government; nor have I ever met or heard of an Indian who believes otherwise than that chaos and anarchy would follow on the heels of the withdrawal of the British. There are 200.000,000 million people in India today who are mentally and physically inferior to the Indians of Mexico or Peru; 200,000,000 wno never developed physical prowess nor the martial spirit as it was developed in the aborigines of America. Millions and millions of Hindus, perhaps all who have ever thought of it, who have more love and less respect for their fellow Mohammedans than for the An glo-Indians, yet nine out of ten Hindus who would like to see the Mohammedans leave India before the Britsh do. Millions of Mohammedans would prefer to have the British remain till they are certain they could come back into supreme power in India or, bet ter Still, until they could 'join their fel low Moslems beyond the passes and again unite into a mighty Moslem em pire which would dominate the middle east. And the whole mass of Indians is split into countless sections; the horizon of each circle fifteen miles in diameter.'' . , , And that is tbe strength of the Brit ish. The British know it; thoughtful Indians know it No party is united, no party has any confidence in itself or trust in the other; and every man has his price and many of them are set down in the books. : : For a while I sought to discover why there has been so little unrest; why leaders beg for favors, why they hope and pray and cringe and fawn. I have abandoned that talk. There is no coherence in Indian; Indians do not want freedom; they have almost no concep tion of what self-government means; they would not know what to do with Swaraj if they had it. In short: We are children, fools, ignorant, su perstitious, poor, hungry, with the highest death rate In the world. We are ashamed to admit it, but it Is true. We are a thousand years behind the west in political consciousness and ideas of nationality; generations, at least fifty years, must roll by before we can hope to stand alone. We lack leaders; . a leader would - have no chance to propogate ideas of political freedom. "We know the price we pray our British raj it is terrible, it is humil iating. We have been, we are, treated with scorn.. We feel it, we suffer un der it, we resent it. W are no longer men; we have lost our manhood. We are cowards and unarmed at that. You cannot realize, only one who has spent years in India can, the depths of degradation of our people, their helpless poverty, their appalling ignorance. It is no use to say it is tbe fault of our rulers, that . they have wiped our industries off the earth, changed us from an Industrial Into a poverty stricken, petty. Insignificant world of wretched peasants. What matters it, if the British have used ps, abused us, bled 'us? What could you expect? They have done only what any other alien ruler would have done. Would we be as well off under Russia, or any better off under Germany? Should you of the United States treat us any better? Do you do better by the Filipinos? Man is man and the British are no exception. But don't think we do not suffer. We suffer and smile. We had to learn that; now we have got into the, habit and it is really thus that the great ma jorlty of our people fear the rulers, even as they fear their gods. "In your western republics every man is a jack of all trades and thinks he, too, is able to govern. Each aims to grow out of his skin, to become rich and powerful. Not so in India, where there were no rich, no poor, but each a cog in a machine, striving to make himself perfect, especially hoping by perfection of life to raise his rank or station in the next life. The pariah could hope to be reborn at least a Brahman, and so be superior even to the ruler. v.V-'."-"Rid ourselves of the British? We could do it overnight. And what then? Be overrun by frantic Moslem butchers from Central Asia, with hillsmen from the Burmese hills and beyond or fall into Russia's bureaucratic hopper, to be ruled by Cossacks. "We have tasted of the tree of your knowledge. Good or evil for us, we will have more of it. We will not be denied. And now we want peace peace at any price. There must be no more sedition;, we will be true to our traditions; we will not become revolutionists or anarchists. We are patient for ours is born of centuries. Cycles come and go; the wheel turns; again our turn will come. There must be no more failure, no more premature expkv soins of bombs. And we will one day again come into our own. DONT -WASTE TIME.

A IIEGRD'S MELODY Will Be Sung by Madame Schumann-Heink. '

Chicago, May 19. Madame Ernestine Schumann-Heink discovered a new composer, for whom she predicts a brilliant future, in the person of James de Koven Thompson, 2602 Forest avenue, a porter on a western railroad, while she was going from Chicago to Appleton, Wis. The young negro recognised his pas-1 senger as the famous contralto and I seised the opportunity to show her J some of the songs he had composed, j Mme. Schumann-Heink looked over i the 'songs and when she came to! Thompson's latest composition, "It I J Forget," she was struck with the dignity and tunefulness of the piece. She asked Thompson for a copy of the song and said she would sing it in her concerts where English songs are used. "The air reminds one of Tosti or Nevin at his best," said. Mme. Schumann-Heink. "It is so long since a really good love lyric has been composed that one welcomes a new one. The theme is entirely new, and It Is handled in the best manner for a sentimental song, that is, the twelveeight beat. I think the theme must be some old African melody. Some of these themes are wonderfully beauti ful and have an indescribable appeal to them." The words were written by Alfred Anderson, a Chicago negro. They fol low: As shadows bring the daylight's close O'er bends the dew to kiss the rose; The sleepy flower so fair, so bright, Smiles back a fend good-night. Were I the rose and you the dew I should not leave you so. But linger to impart the lovelight in ; my heart Again as in the long ago. Chorus If I forget. If I forget, Dear heart; your vows and mine, The star on which my hopes are aet Would longer cease to shine. And all that now is happiness Would be but vain regret. Clouds dark would strew my skies of blue If I forget. If I forget. ... . i Could I forget each fond caress, "Yes," The every hour that seemed a year Without your presence dear? . If in the golden afterwhile Love still remains supreme, December's bleakest day will be as one in May And sorrow but a fleeting dream. "It was certainly fortunate for me that I met Mme. Schumann-Heink, said Thompson. "It will give me a chance to get my work before the public." EARLHAM DEFEATED THE HANOVER TEAM Earlham college .won an, exciting game of - baseball yesterday on Reid Field when they defeated a strong team from Hanover college. Hays, the veteran Earlham pitcher, worked yesterday for the first time this year on the home grounds. His pitching proved the undoing of the visitors, ss they could not connect with his slow balls. A good representation of Richmond people and G. A. R. delegates, combined with the student body filled the big grandstand to its capacity. Hays succeeded in striking out eight of the Hanover athletics. The Hanover college team has been on a Southern four game tour, in which they have been particularly successful,' Winning all their games until Earlham was met Thursday. Summary as follows: : Three base hits, Brubaker; two base hits, Hays, Slawson. Errors, Earlham 4. Hanover 6; Hits, Earlham 5, Hanover 4. "

REVOLTED AGflKIST

: FASIilOOS OF Immodest and Inartistic Is .. Allegation of Iowa Federation Leader. Sioux City. Ia, May -19. Seven bus dred women are gathered in thla city for the ninth biennial meeting of the Iowa Federation of Women's Clubs. At the outset of the sessions, which will continue until Friday night,' they beard a strong attack by their . president, Mrs. J. W, Richards, of Waterloo, upon prevailing fashions In women attire, "Wbat effect," said Mrs.' Richards. in the course of her presidents! address, "does the present style of dress have on the morals of our young men and women?. The low neckaj dresses, worn so indiscriminately are not any ; worse than these tight. Inartistic skirts or one legged panttsloon et- -recta that are now the prevailing style. - " , 'All our feminine necks are bowed down closer and closer each season by the dictates of Dame Fashion, until today, standing as interrogation points unable to walk with dignity and ease, the women of American may 'well ask, 'what next? We have been poured Into a mold and there we stand, meekly accepting this absurd fashion and going about the land knowing that the criticism and ridicule of mankind aro ours. What excuse have we for this attitude of mind? None at all. Wo bow down before this juggernaut, fashion, with, out. the flicker of an eyelash.-; I must say that the first time I met the Interrogation point figure I felt my face tingle, but I can now gase unmoved on the spectacle. So much for familiarity. , ' In the city of Minneapolis recently, while waiting in the lobby of one of the hotels, I saw examples of tbo moat extreme styles of dress worn, by 'wo- ' men. The 'dresses were too tight to cover the lower extremities and tha ' thin silk stockings and the low cut pumps on the feet looked much like a display sign for stockings In a department store window. "Can we do nothing as clubwomen to set our faces against thla absurd, uncomfortable, unaesthtie, disgraceful , style of dress for our women?" r "I am heartily In sympathy with the movement in our country for a sano and sensible Fourth of July, but I am still more In favor of a sano and sen sible dress for our grandmothers, mothers and daughters, which will combine dignity and decency. i "The cotton manufacturers are beginning to complain that their oneness is decreasing, owing to the scar city of underwear worn by women nowadays, so It may be that tha com merclat interests will compel women to put an extra gore In their skirts. "Heaven speed the day, ' and may this blind bowing down to fashion's dictates pass over and at last may we come into our : feminine skirts again. "Queen Mary of England disapproves of the lavish display of feminine outlines made inevitable by the present style of dress. 8he said it was' painful to see the expression on tbo ladies' faces 'when venturing upon a' courtesy, evidently uncertain whether their skirts would split In tbo act 'The queen, In discussing tbo tixat skirts, explained to the ladles of a din ner party the obvioua inconvenlencees of courtesylng to her in skirts too tight to admit of free movement."
