Barstow immediately moved that no action be taken on the first ?‘ll:ie ‘which D:‘v::l the one in 0_the appro; lon. ml Lincoln, president of the on, and the matter was mted on the motion to take no act! Mr. Lincoln, in copo-mun to the mo- tion, went into the history of the or- ianlxl.flon. stating that it started a vear ago with the purpose of acting as a clearing hoyse for the charitable work of the town. He told of the visit paid by the committee to New Haven, and their discovery that a paid worker was needed to properly do the work, and after some search for the proper person, Miss Austin was found. There was no question of the legal- ity of the vote, said Mr. Lincoln, other organizations, such as St. Joseph’s hos- pital, which were private institutions, received town aid in the same manner and it was perfectly proper, so long as a cdnsideration was given for the money. He then went through the ac- tivities of the association, speaking of the milk station, to which 169 babies were brought, and 173 visited by the nurse, with the result that the infant mortality last summer was reduced oved one-half from the year previous. A year ago, he said, 28 families were supported by the town, and now but He then compared the figures for the past few vears, showing that un- der the present system the town was saving money and told in detail of other of the association’s activities and enumerated some of the specific instances where good had resulted. He said we must have one of three sys- tems, either the old way of letting the selectmen do the work, or a charity commissioner, or the present way, the last of which, he thought, cost the town less and did more good. Under present conditions, the selectmen have enough to do, and cannot })roparly in- vestigate the conditions of the needy families, or whom there were 214 vis- Ited last year. Attorney P. J. Danahey arose to op- pose the motion, saying he wished to s ak from the legal viewpoint, and imed that the appropriation was ab- solute]y illegal. He quoted several de- cisions of the supreme court of Con- necticut which he sald sustained him in this view. The town had no legal right to aid any private institution. If the work was taken from the select- men, they had little left to do. He claimed Mr. Lincoln’s figures were not of value, as last year was very differ- ent from the year preceding, when the mills were on short time, and one of them was not_running at all for a long period. He also went through the expenses of the organization, stat- ing that but little went to the:poor, out of all that was spent. If we are going to have organized charity, he sald, let's do it legally and have a charity commissioner. M. B. coln rose to correct some of the last speaker's statements in re- gard to figures and facts. Town Counsel William King re- plied to Mr. Danahey’s statement that the vote would not be legal, by stat- ing that lawyers might differ, and in this case he disagreed with Mr. Dan- h and any vote passed under this call, if properly worded, would be le- gal. C. L. Anderson rose to ask Mr. Lin- coln if he could support a family of seven on five dollars a week, referring to one case the latter had mentioned, and Mr. Lincoln replied that the family in question owned thefr home, and rented part of it in addition to the aid they received from the town and the United Charities. The question was cajled for, and on a viva voce vote the motion to take no action was lost. The vote seemed approximately three to one or there- abouts. Hon. Guilford Smith then moved the passage of the resolution, ‘which he presented, and this was done by another viva voce vote, which was not doubted. The meeting then ad- journed, about 9.30 o'clock.

CHINA TO HAVE BUREAU ELDER STATESMEN. Should Be Useful to the President in Questions of Precedents. Pekin, Jan. 31.—China is to have a bureau of elder statesmen much after the Japanese plan. Hsu Shih-chang, the retiring secretary of state, is to be the chairman of this bureau of elder statesmen and three other mem- bers have already been named. & are Chao Ernshup, 14 Ching-hei d Chang Chien. three of these men have been chiefs of bureaus and saw service under the Tsing dynasty. Members of the bureau of elder statesmen are to enjoy favorable treatment. It has been decided by the administrative headquarters that the distinguished men admitted to membership in this bureau will not be required to address themselves “chen” or subject, before the new emperor. Neither will they kowtow in his pres- ence. They are also to be allowed to use sedan-chairs when going to the palace to be received in audience. It will also be their privilege to sit while in audience with the emperor. They will be given precious present on the occasion of any congratulatory celebrations of the nation, and will have the honor of wearing a special costume at stated times. This body of elderly notables should be useful to the president in avoiding questions of precedents which may arise as a result of his former sub- serviency to many of the elder offi- clals now in the government. Dr{ Nagao Ariga, the Japanese scholar, who has been legal adviser to the Chinese government for 0 many years, is recomending many of the ideas which have been useful in Japan_in harmonizing political lead- ers. Dr. Ariga is supposed to have drawn up a complete new constitution, which will in effect be adopted by the Chinese government after its change to a monarchy. He recently declined to return to China, and continue in ——— flobnu that he )o-‘ pinos were. ready for| their lndopendcnce at once. “T‘hm.h‘ a menace in holding the hhndl." continued, “but it is Filipinos ‘themselves.” i Senator Sutherland disagreed as the readiness of the islands for inde- , decl that to relinquish them now would be a “cowardly act.” Senator Hitchcock today withdrew his amendment and substituted an meadmcnt to the amendment of Sen- tor Clark, providing for granting in-' m lence within four years.
