Employers would thereby cain a desirable certainty of ob-lization and get rid of litigation to determine it. The workman and workman's fnmilv would be relieved from a crushing load.

"The Xntlnnnl Government should be a model employer. It slionld demand the hia-nest quality of service from Its employes and should care for them properly In return. Cm-Kress should ndnpt IrKlslallon providing; limited hnt drBnlte compensation for ncrldcnts to all workmen within the scope of the fcdcrnl power, including- employes In navy ynrds nml nrsennls. Kiinllnr lro-lsln-tinn should follow throiiKhont the sillies. Tbe olil and lnarteiiinle remedy of suit for nea-ltKcnce would then gradually disappear.

"Such a policy would mean that with increased responsibility of the employer would come increased care, and accidents would be reduced In number. The temporary involved will not hamper our industries. Long experience of compensation laws in other countries has demonstrated their benefit. What we advocate is only a simplo measure of Justice, only one step toward the goal of securing, so far as human wisdom enn secure, fair and equitable treatment for each and every one of our people. "As a corollary to the above let me point out the extreme unwisdom of the railway companies in fighting the constitutionality of the national employers' liability law.

No law is more emphatically needed, and It must, be kept on thn statute books in drastic and thoroughgoing torm. "The railroads are prompt to demand the Interference and to clnlm the protection of the Federal courts In times of riot ami disorder, nnd in torn the Federal Government should see to it that they ure not permilted successfully to plead thai they are nnrier the fcdcrnl law when thereby their own rights rnn be protected, lint outside of II when It Is Invoked against them In behalf of the rights of others. If it Is proper for tbe Federal courts lo Issue injunctions In bebulf of railroads, it Is proper that railroads should be held to a strict liability for accidents occurring- to their em ployes.

wu.h '5 So "Little Tim" Insists, Denying All Rumors of Peace With McClellan. MC CARREN AT THE CITY HALL After Seeing Mayor He Says Legis lature May Be in Session All Summer Other Callers. Some bright man possessed of a Sher lock Holmes personality is wanted over in Manhattan to discover the Identity of tho person or persons who aro constantly circulating the reports that the dove ot peace has alighted on the City Hall and the wigwam on Fourteenth street, and thai Charles F. Murphy is to retire from the Tammany leadership to restore harmony between the organization and the Mayor. Nobody wants to admit that there is a harmony situation in the process of formation, but each sido is charging the other with the responsibility of circulating the peace talk.

The latest yarn sent out by the mys terious press agent was to the effect that Morgan J. O'Brien and Bourke Cockran were the men chosen to bring about tran quillity between the two opposln- aides. One of the conditions, however, and thlk 'point was very much emphasized, was the retirement of Mr, Murphy as the head of the organization. In an effort to verify the reports the newspaper men first called upon Mayor McClellan. Did he know anything of the proposed peace negotiations or could he give the names' of the people who were the autbortltiea for the reports? "The reports," replied the Mayor with emphasis, "did not emanate from this office." "Little Tim" Sullivan was the first of the Tammany chiefs whom the reporter ran across, and he was asked if it were true that Mr.

Murphy intended to resign the leadership. "Slush," was the reply. "The wish is father to the thought. Mr. Murphy will bo the leader of the organization when a new Mayor la inaugurated at the City Hall." "Who is responsible for these reports that Mr.

Murphy's resignation is one of the conditions to bring about peace?" was asked. "That's what we have been trying to find out." said "Little Tim." "I am quite sure, however, that it wouldn't require the services of one of Bingham's sleuths to disclose the Identity of the real boomers. It is one of the best bets on the board that they can be found In the City Hall, and not fifty feet from where I stand." "Little Tim" was standing at the end of the corridor leading to the Mayor's office. "If they' think," he continued, "that these inspired stories are going to force Murphy out they are betting on the wrong horse." This Is a brief resume of the political situation in Manhattan as far as it affects the establishment ot peace. It seems apparent that both sides are anxious for a state of tranquillity In the po litical arena, yet neither wishes to ac knowledge it.

Mayor McClellan had a large list of callers this morning. Street Cleaning Commissioner Craven was in the first. He has recovered from bis recent illness and said tbat he had discussed departmental matters with the Mayor. Senator McCarren was next. He and the Mayor had quite a talk, but the Senator was not speaking for publication when ha emerged from the private sanctum of the Mayor, He volunteered the opiniollt-that the legislature might be in session all summer.

Corporation Counsel Ellison was also a caller. The Mayor said that the object of his visit was to make a report on the pending legislation in Albany. Incidentally, the Mayor admitted that they had also discussed' how Mr. Ellison's opinion on the franchise spplication of the Atlantic Telephone company was made public before It reached the Board of Estimate. "Mr.

Ellison." the Mayor said, "will make an investigation of the occurrence." "He has not resigned," was his answer to another question. Mr. Ellison refused to discuss his interview with the Mayor. If any indications could be taken from his personal appearance, the Interview must have been a very lively one. Fin Commissioner Lantry.

The chauffeur of the wrecked machine, a patient in the Kings County Hospital, is under arrest on a charge of homicide, for the police of the Farkville precinct station allege that he was speeding through the. darkness at a rate of speed greatly exceeding the legal limit.

It was learned to-day that five minutes after the automobile started on the trip that ended so fatally, a prediction which, it resulted, proved true, was made concerning the death of Thomas Heffner, 40 years old, av widely known horse trainer and driver of Voorhees avenue and East Twenty-third street, Sheephead Bay.

la owned F. L. Crahford. of 479 Clinton avenue, who has a summer home et SheeDShead Bay. It was late Saturday yrigbt when Le May, the chauffeur, took a number of friends out for a along Ocean 'parkway.

It. was shortly after 1:80 O'clock yesterday morning that Le May, with four men tin the the machine left Emmons avenue and the parkway. According to an official connected with the SheeDShead Bay Police Station, who was standing- In a drug store at the intersection of these -streets, a clerk in the store said: "There goes Tom Heffner off In that machine. It looks as though the crowd la out for fun. I'll bet ho never comes home' alive." With Heffner In the auto were Beatty.

Boyle. Short and Curley. There were women with the party at the time, tho pollen official declared. The auto sped at a good clip up the parkway and. somewhere between Avenue and the Park circle, turned back toward SbeepBhead Bay.

At about 2:30 o'clock the machine reached a point near Avenue opposite a well known road It was here that the collision occurred. A light Victoria was being driven south alone the parkway. All of the half dozen or more occupants' names could not be learned by the police. Morris was driving and Drinkwater and Reeder, and at least two women, were in the carriage. The latter, it was said, had no lights to warn vehicles coming from behind.

The automobile, driven by Le May, speeded down upon the victoria without warning and crashed into it before the chauffeur had time to slow up the- heaviest vehicle. That Le May applied the breaks immediately was shown by the fact that the automobile stopped so suddenly- tbat it turned completely unsldc down. Tho occupants of both vehicles were hurled about in all directions and the victoria was completely demolished. A touring car came speeding up and assisted in removing the injured to. the PArkville precinct station, from which reserves had been summoned.

Dr. Jones being in charge. Heffner died at 8:30 o'clock yesterday morning and was removed to the home of his brother, Daniel Heffner, a grain merchant of Sheepshead Bay.

Tatrolman McDonnell of the Parkvllle precinct station, accompanied the Injured to the hospital and placed Le May under arrest on a charge of reckless driving, which was later changed to one of homicide. When he has recovered he will ba arraigned upon the latter charge before Magistrate Steers In the Flatbush court. WATCHMAN SAVEDJEN LIVES.

Reid gave the alarm and aroused the sleeping occupants of the Neinsllng house.

The firemen responded and saved the building where the fire started from complete destruction. The loss, however, is about 11.500. Had it not been checked promptly the fire would robably have swept through the business part of the town. Mr. Reid Is the hero of the bour here.

crowd of, far greater proportions had assembled on Lee Parade In front of the reviewing stand. Thousands of voices swelled tho cheering which begun as soon as the President stepped on land and continued until the programmo was opened at tbe stand. Tho police arrangements were better than on the opening, day, and the people were kept from, surging upon the stand and en dangering the lives of women and chil dren. On the reviewing stand with the President and his parly were Cardinal Gibbons, General Stephen D. Lee.

Following a patriotic selection by the Exposition Band, the progt-amme incident to the Georgia Pay celebration was Opened by Governor Terrell, who introduced W. N. Mitchell, president ot the Georgia commission, tho master of ceremonies. Mr.

Mitchell presented Cardinal Gibbons, who offered the invocation. The band played "Star Spangled Banner," after which Mr. Mitchell, in an audress Introduced Prealdent Roosevelt, who delivered his first address. He was cheered throughout his entire Rpecch. President Roosevelt's Address.

"I can not express how deeply touched I am at. the action of the State of Georgia, my mother's state, the state from which I draw half the blood in my veins, In erecting as the Georgia stato house at the Jamestown Exposition a replica of my grandfather's house at Roswell. the house in which my mother passed bcr youth and where she was married to my father. It is an act. of gracious courtesy and consideration which I very deeply appreciate; and through the governor and other representatives of Georgia I desire from my heart to thank all her citizens.

"Georgia's history is unique, for she alone among the original thirteen col onies and the subsequent new states added thereto, was founded with a consciously benevolent purpose, with tbe deliberate intent to benefit mankind by upbuilding a commonweatlh along carefully planned lines of, social, political, and religious liberty and justice. Oglethorpe, the founder of Georgia, was a true apostle of philanthropy and of equality of opportunity for all. His set purpose was to found a state the gates of which should be open to the oppressed of every land and creed, and closed to every form of political, religious, or in. dustrial bondage or persecution. "His colony welcomed alike those who fled from political or social tyranny, and those, whether Christian or Jew, who sought liberty for conscience's sake.

It was a high and honorable beginning; and I am proud. Indeed, of my Georgian ancestry, and of the fact that my grandfather's grandfather, Archibald Bulloch, was the first governor, or as the title then went. President, of the new State, when the Continental Congress, of which he was also a member, declared that the Thirteen States had become a new and independent nation. Since then Georgia has grown at a rate even mqre astounding than the rate of growth of the nation as a whole; her sons have stood high in every field of activity, intellectual or physical; and rapid though "her progress has been In the past, it bids fair to be even greater in the wonderful new century which has now fairly opened. He Is Half Southern, Half Northern.

"Perhaps the very fact that I am half Southern and half Northern in blood, and that for many years I was brought into peculiarly close association with the life of the great West, makes it natural for me to feel with inlensity the strong sense of kinship with every portion of our great, common country which should be the birthright of every true American. Since I have been President. I have visited every State and Territory within the borders of the Union, save such as can only be reached by sea. I have traveled from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Great Lakes to the Gulf. I have spoken at country fairs, to colleges, to commercial and business organizations, to associations of professional men, to labor organizations, to men of every creed and parentage.

The thing that, has struck me most has been the essential oneness, the essential unity of our people. "In the fundamentals I have found American citizens to be just about the same everywhere. In whatever locality of the country we live, whatever our fortune or occupation in life, there exist just about tbe same essential good qualities and much the same shortcomings in any gathering ot our citizens. Of course, each community has Its especial temptations, its especial shortcomings; and If it is wise, each community will try to cure itself rather than to cause heartburnings by railing at the shortcomings of a sister community. There is ample field for the reform energies of every one of us in his or her particular sphere of home and neighborhood activity.

Labor Leaders Are Not Dangerous. "Not only is all of this true as between one community and another, but it Is just as true between one class of our citizens and another. Now and then we meet well-meaning people who have a genuine horror and dread of all rich men and think of them as being set apart by peculiar vice and iniquity. Now and then we meet equally well-meaning rich men who have an equally Irrational dread of those whom they style 'labor In each case I think the hostility Is in large part due to a want of sympathy caused by complete ignorance of tho men who arouse such distrust or anger. As a matter of fact, if we take a given number of men of large fortune and a like number of wage-workers, we find that in their essential human nature they are all alike.

In each group we find men as wise and as foolish, as good and as bad as in the other group. Such being the case. It is certainly well that, so far as possible, when the men of a given group, as a whole, act in a way that we deem contrary to the public interest, we should treat the action as a wrong to be remedied rather than as a wrong to be avenged. We ought not to tolerate wrong. It Is a sign of weakness to do so, and in its ultimate effects weakness is ottcn quite as bad as wickedness.

But in putting a stop to the wrong we should, so far as possible, avoid getting into an attitude of vindictive hatred toward the wrongdoer. He may be morally to blame and It may be necessary to punish him; but on the other hand the wrong ne nas committed may simply be due to the ex isting condition of things, to conditions under which he has been brought up; and in such a case, while we must apply the remedy, and see that there Is no further chance of harm to the community, it is neither just nor farsighted to exact, revenge for what has been done. In short, friends, let us realize 'hat In very truth we are knit together in ties of brotherhood, and that, while it is proper and necessary that we should insist upon our rights, we should yet be patient and considerate in bearing with one another, and In trying, so far as in us lies, each to look at the problems that face us from his brother's standpoint as well as from his "During the last quarter of a century this nation has made astounding strides in material progress, and In no other section has this progress been more noteworthy than in the South. While her agriculture has grown faster than ever be. fore, there has also been a new growth of her manufacturing Industries inde-d.

there has been growth of every kind. But of course there is ample room for further growth.

With the embankment anil ihe practically coniplcted cut from Church avenue to Fiskc Terrace, every grade crossing has now been eliminated; In uddition to this, Ihe only curve of consequence Is also being eliminated by work which is under way between the Franklin avenue station and the Dean slreet station, where the road is hcre-ofier to follow a straight course over a concrete embankment which is to supersede the former iron and 3tccl structure.

In the South, as everywhere through the Union, we need to see a good education given free to all children, no matter what may be their race or color. Nor can we wisely permit this education to be of a merely literary type. More and more we are growing to realize tint there must be an education of the hand as well as of the head. Must Have Schools of All Kinds. "There must be agricultural and Industrial colleges, and.

above all, schools In which there can be elementary preparation for agriculture and Industry. These schools for technical training will hold a great place in tho future in fitting our citizens for doing their economic duties In the best possible shape. In the South there Is a population peculiarly fitted to profit by them, a population which has been generally referred to as "poor white," a population of splendid capacities, and almost purely of the old native stock, which simply lacks the opportunity to develop a degree of industrial efficiency unsurpassed elsewhere on this continent. "It is a matter for congratulation that there is such a steady increase of interest In the Southern States In everything pertaining to children. This has already markedly shown itself, and I hope will still more markedly show Itself in the future, in warring against the evil of child labor in factories.

The factory is a very poor place Indeed for a child; Indeed, personally 1 think the factory a poor place for a woman certainly for a married woman, or for an unmarried woman for more than a very few years. In any community organized on really healthy ljnes the average woman will have quite enough to do in her own home, whether she is rich or poor; and nowhere else can she do work of such value to tbe nation as a whole and by work 1 mean her housework, her work as housewife and mother, and not so-called 'home As regards children. It is as essential to look after their physical as their mental training. We cannot afford to let children grow up Ignorant; and if they are sent to school they cannot, while young, also work hard outside without detriment, physical, mental and moral. There is urgent need for the health authorities to increase their care over the hygienic conditions and surroundings of children of tender years, and especially to supervise those in the schools.

It Is a good thing to try to reform bad children, to trv to build up degenerate children: but it. is an even belter thing to try to keep henlthy In soul, body and mind those children who are now sound but. who may easily grow up unsound if no care is taken of them. nniion most valuable asset Is tne children! for tho children are the nation or the future. All alive to the nation' nerd should jum logetner to work for the moral, spiritual and physical welfare of the children In all parts of onr land.

1 am glad that there has been founded a nntlonnl society of public school hygiene, and I wish II. and all Its branches, well In every way. Guard the Welfare of Children. 'There is increasing need that the welfare of the children should he effectivclv safeguarded by governmental with the proviso, however, that, this action shall be taken with knowledge and in a spirit of robust common sense; for philanthropy, whether governmental or Individual, is a curse and not a blessing when marked by a spirit of foolish sentimentality and ignorance. Such governmental action is merely one inevitable result of the ever-increasing growth of our complex industrialism.

Decade by decade, it becomes more and more necessary that, without sacrificing their Individual Independence, the people ot this country shall recognize, in more effective form their mutual Interdependence, and the duty of safeguarding the Interest ot each in the ultimate interest of all. We have inherited and developed a superbly self-reliant, individualism in thlB country. I most, earnestly hope that it will not be lost, that It will never be exchanged for a deadening socialism. The only permanently beneficial way in which to help any one is to help him to help himself; if ell her private charity, or governmental action. or any form of social expression destroys the individual's power of self help, the gravest possible wrong i really done to the individual.

"Nevertheless, as the conditions of life grow more complex. It is boi possible to trust our welfare only to the unbridled Individual Initiative of each unit, of our population working as that unit wills. We need laws for the care of our which were not needed when this country was in Its Infancy. "We need lana for the control of vast corporations such as were not needed when the individual fortunes were far smaller than at present, and when these fortunes were not combined for business use. In the same way we need to change onr nttltnde toward labor problems from what that nttltnde was In the days when the Kreat bnlk of onr people lived In the country with no more complex Inbor relations than Is Implied In the connection between the farmer and the blred help.

Increase in Number of Accidents. "For example. Ihe great Increase in mechanical and manufacturing operations means a corresponding Increase In the number of accidents to the wage-workers employed therein, these Including both preventable and inevitable accidents. To the ordinary wage-worker's family such a calamity means grim hardship. As the work is done for the employer, and therefore ultimately for the public.

It is a bitter injustice that it should he the wage-worker himself and his wife and children who bear the whole penalty. Legislation should he had, alike from the n.itlon and from ihe states, not only to guard against the needless multiplication of these accidents, but to relieve th" financial suffering due to them. Last winter Congress passed a safety-appliance lr.w which marked a long stride In the right direction. But there should be additional legislation to secure pecuniary compensation to workmen suffering from accidents, and when they are to their families. At present both In the sphere covered by national legislation, and in the sphere covered by state legislation, the law In too many cases leaves the financial burden of industrial accidents to be borne by the injured workmen and Iheir families; and a workman who suffers from an accident either has i no case at all for redress or else must undertake a suit for damages against his employer.

"The present practice is based on the view announced nearly seventy years ago that 'principles of justice and good sense demand that a workman shall take upon himself all the ordinary risks of his In my view, principles of justice and good sense demand the very reverse of this view, which experience has proved to be unsound and productive of widespread suffering. It is neither lust, expedient, nor humane, it Is revolting to judgment and sentiment alike, that the financial burden of accidents occurring because of tbe necessary exigencies of their dally occupation should he thrust, upon those eufferers who are least able to bear It. and that such remedy as is theirs should only be obtained by litigation which now burdens our courts. Workmen Should Be Paid Damages. "As a matter of fact there is no sound economic reason for distinction between accidents caused by negligence and those which are unavoidable, and the law should be such that the payment of those accidents will become automatic instead of being a matter for a lawsuit.

Workmen should r-I celve a certain definite and limited eom-jnensatiun for all accidents In Industry, ir- resuective of negligence. hen ihe m-ployer. the agent of The public, on his own resoonsibility and for his own profit, in the business of serving the public, starts in motion agencies which create risks for others, he should take all the ordlnirv and extraordinary risks involved: and though the burden will at the moment be his. It will ultimately be assumed, as it ought to be. by tbe general nubile.

Onlv in this way can the shock of the accident diffused, for It will be transferred from employer te consumer, 'or whose benefit all industrte are carried on.

"In closing, friends and fellow citizens of Georgia, let mo say one word by Ihe recent ceremonies, in which you have just taken part, in connection with your gift to the noble battleship named after your state. Our battleships and great armored cruisers, our fighting craft, are named after the states of our I'nion, and this symbolizes- the fact that the Navy is a common possession of all of us. nnd that its honor and its triumphs are as dear to the heart of a true American whoidwells anywhere inland as to a true American who dwells anywhere on the seacoasi.

The Navy is out surest guaranty for peace, and if w-ar should ever come It will be the greatest safeguard for our honor and our interest. As is likewise true of our Army, it is manned by a volunteer force; for It must never be forgotten that all our soldiers and sailors, whether regular or not, are volunteers. Every encouragement should be given to onr navy, and no public servant should be pardoned for fulling to do everything In lilm to see Hint we have tbe best type of ships and of guos. and Hint the ofllcers and enlisted men are held to the strictest accountability for so practicing with the ships and guns tbat no navy afloat shall, ship for ship, scinndron for squadron, be our superior. "If the officers and enlisted men do their duty and 1 am thankful to say that in our Navy the cases wuere they do not do their duty are relatively few in number they put us all under a deep obligation to them, and we should give them all I ho regard and encouragement in our power.

Wc should have a system of promotion either by elimination or by selection, so that mediocre officers could not come to tho top.
