Among- the mills visited were the following named: The Monaghan Mill. Greenville: Victor Mllla. Oreer Pelior Mllla, Helton Mills, Belton Victoria Mllla. Bock Mill: Olympla Mllla, Columbia, and tha mllla of the Oranttevllle Manufacturing Company, at Granltevllle, all in South Carolina; tha Massachusetts Mills of Georgia. Llndale; Exposition Mills, Atlanta, and Eagle and Phoenix Mllla, Colum bus, in Georgia; and the Dwlght Mills, at Alabama City, Ala. The conditions under which tha operatives work, Mis Beeks declares t be good. She found the mill wall lighted and ventilated, the employers utlllilng many of the modern device, such as the exhaust system for tha removal of lint, the cold water spay Instead of the hot water spray In the summer time to humidify the atmos phere for manufacturing purposes, and the blower system for heating In winter and cooling In summer. In a few mills she found well equipped hospitals for the use of the operatives snd one mill manager went so far aa to employ a trained nurse to attend to all the sick In the village. In some of the ryllls Miss Berks found bad ventilation and poor Jaultur serv ice In connection with the toilet ar rangement and lack of elevator service. In writing of ber vUlts to the mill villages, where the employes live. Miss Keeks said: "Many a housewife could take lessons lncleanllness from the home of the average mill opera- i live," and again: "It may be stated 1 that generally the premises are ex- tremely neat and that only In the homes of new arrival, from the primitive ..districts, are the Interior of the cottage unclean." Soma, .of the buildings Mlx bek1 found ex ceedingly beautiful, both as to ar tistic appearance of the buildings and the landscape effect, 'village." she said. "While In some the homes aro built from a stereotyped plan, In many of the vlllagee the architecture Is widely diversified, and Individuality Is encouraged. Ordinarily the lots are 7S by 126 feet. There are garden plots with prizes for vegetables and (towers, and one mill man Is planning to erect greenhouses that Iris employ es may keep their flowers In winter. Heversl of the mill villages are locat ed In beautiful forests and at other places employers are planting trees annually with the view of securing imple shade within a few years. The houses are rented at a nominal sum, which Includes not only water, vege table and flower gardena, but In snnn rases, electric lights, free row pas ture, cow shqds and pig pens." EDUCATION Or CHILDREN. Miss Keeks finds that the education of the children In tha mill towns Is not neglected. Kindergartens and schools are supported In whole or in part by the mill owners. In most of the cases where tha State provides four months of school, the mill men have appropriated sufficient funds to extend the term four months more. For children who work In the mill rgularly, there are night school In arithmetic, wilting and reading. Night rlusses for feminine employes afford Instruction In rooking and sew ing. Libraries have been Installed In many of the mill school and In a ntimher of the villages, small savings banks have been built. In mstiy of the mills well equipped gymnsslum were found for the ben- flt of the young people. Skating rinks, bowling alloys iind other places or amusement were provided for thn iport of the employes. Athlntlc I i .- " ntti other or iixT w a sotrruEnx mux vUlagk. J gimi were wen In v"-," imoit all the mill. It I the custom to have one or more day aet aside yearly for picnic. Mis Besk states that rhe whole aubject waa summed up by a prominent mill president at pelxer, a village of E.000 population, who said. "Amusements are a nec essary for the people as food." Mlsa Beeks points to the action of 71 mill president In South Carolina recently In voluntarily reducing the number of hours la their mills from - ; '. r f 1 , Miss Gertrude Berks, of (Im Welfare Department of the Clvto Federation of thn I'nttrd States. She Han Made a Careful Study of the Kdacatlonal and Social Surroundings as Kxlstlng In a Number of Southern Cotton Mill Settlements. M to (0 per week as on of the signs of the times. STUDY OP CHILD LABOR. More than one-half of the' article I devoted to a study of child labor among the cotton mill visited. In her report. Miss Keeks goes back to the time when child labor was prev alent on the farm; she tell of the migration of the people from the farms to the mill village and ahowa how nxtural It was that children should nlso be employed In the mill. She deplores the fact that legislation has not kept pace with Industrial de velopment, but she holds that tha fu ture is a very hrlsrht one so far as the rhlhl labor situation Is concern ed. Mi Peeks boldly declare that the conditions ar not as bad as de puted. She stales that she exerted herself while In the South to find a mill running nlxht shifts, where It vnn iisiTssary to "throw cold water In the faces of children to keep them wake," but was unable to find one. Inatead ef finding "extreme emacla tlon," she .found the children of the mills as rosy-cheeked and healthy as those working- elsewhere. She states that she did .not find children half naked nor did s case cem to her ears where the overseer kicked those n der his employ. , Other criticisms of sensational writers- on the subject of child labor were found to be untrue. as, for Instance, the : prevalence of consumption, unusual number of ac cidents to children, overwork, etc. . As to the future.' Miss ' Beet de clares that onevof the greatest needs is the creation of a public sentiment In favor of the modern lealalatien re quired, which at the present time 1 advocated and understood principal' y by the emplovera. Generally speak Ing the agitation has been promoted by well-meaning bat misguided theo rists who have not acquainted them selves - with the . conditions - under which the people work or the busi ness .. management ' or financial prob lem of the mill. Mia Beeks advo cate legislation along the following lines: Compulsory education with pro vision for truant officers factory In spection to strengthen the child labor law to Increaso the age limit from IS to 14 years; birth registration so that proofs of age may be given, s ' ' In conclusion. ' Ml Beeks says "Too much praise cannot be given to the mill owners who. In spite of the unfslr criticism '. which baa ; been made, are . not only giving food and shelter and an Industrial training to the Illiterate descendants of the first Inhabitants of the colonies, - but. through their welfare' work, are great clvllixlng Influence and are steadily raisin; the standard of cltl- tonahlp. : - , One reading Miaa Beeks report of her trip South, feels from the nrst that she has tried to tell the simple truth about the situation as It really exist. She made .her Investigations of the' conditions among Southern mllla . as a. doctor, would diagnose a case of sickness which be was called upon to treat. She manifests no pre judice, but enters into her work with the one purpose of finding out the true state of affairs. In no particu lar does she select an Isolated and extreme case, some of which she no doubt came across, set it-up a a type of the whole, and elaborate thereon. On the contrary. Miss Beeks keeps ever In mind, the story of the past, recollecting at all times that the South but a few years since, was nothing but an agricultural sec tion, with little msnufacturlng Inter est. Where suvh vast changes have taken place confusion was bound to follOW. ;.)... . V Reforms are under way, which will prove vastly beneficial 'to the South when they are consummated. Miss Beeks gives the mill owners due cred it for what they have done and she holds that they are masters of the sit uation. ' -;." LAKGKK THA If LAST YEAR. Present Toharro Crop Is A'o of Bet U Grade, Says Col. Webb, of Winston-Kalcm. Special to The Obsorver, . Wlnston-Halem, July. Il.Col. Webb, editor of The Southern Tobac co Journal and an experienced tobac co man, Is authority for the state ment that this year's tobacco crop Is not only to be larger than that of 1905, but also, of a much better jrude. The colonel says the rains are not dplng the growing crop any good these days, but nevertheless the crop will bring an average fit JO or, 10 !! rents' on , the Wljaston ' market the coming year. The leaf sales ' on this market during the present ' . year; which rlosos August gl, will aggre gate about 17,000.000 poundv which la not half enpugh to ' supply . local manufacturers, , The crop averaged about ( conts. The farmer In' eome of' the counties adjacent have been organised for the purpose of holding their crops and thus compelling the price to go up. It Is said that in some sections of Stokes the v organisation embraces practically all the grower. If they can manige to hold 11411' loaf as dld ' the cotton growers of the South , their plan may succeed but doubt I ex presed her as to whether tha plan of the tobacco growers will meet with such success, Nevertheless tho fight between the grower and the buyer will be watched with Interest.

American doctrine to The Hague Trl bunaL : . - ..- -. AN EXPANSION OP CALVO'S DOC -, ',4 . ' ... - TRINE. ' . 'The Drago doctrine Is said by pub Heists to be merely an expansion of the Oalvo doctrine, dear to the hearts of Latln-Amerlcana but never en grafted upon International law. In Its essence, that doctrine "wa a declara tion that any claim against a nation by a foreign cfllsen, or even a for eign government, must be adjudicated by it own courta .and under no cir cumstances was a proper subject of dlplomlta representation or negotia tion. -That doctrine has often been asserted In opposition to the presen tation of such claims, but so, far with out success when the claim. was ad ranced by a , nation of superior strength. Even the ' United ' States Bute Department has disregarded it, notably in forcing a settlement of the claims of tho Salvador Improvement Company against Salvador. - and Is again pursuing the same . course as to Venesuela In the matter ot the aa Dhalt and other American claims. But the principal basis of the action of the United State up to this point has been found in two reasons: first, an assertion nn the nart Of the United States that no American ciusen by the mere signature of a contract or con cession in terms suDmusnoie xor con struction only to - the courts of the grantors can cancel the right of . his own government to protect mm in his rights, and, second, an insistence upon the right of the government of the United States to . make sure that there has been no miscarriage of jus tice la the courts according to Anglo- Saxon standards of law. THE FUNDAMENTAL DOCTRINE AND 1T8 FAULTS.: - If the Drago doctrine Is to be ap proved as a sound principle of inter national . law, it becomes Important to know mors of the details or tne fundamental or Calvo doctrine., upon which - it 1 built The . subject- may be InterestlnsT also' because this doc trine has already been formally evok ed by Venesuela In the iaat and Is certain to take first place in the legal battle about to ensue as a result ot a fresh and peremptory presentation bv the United States of the Ameri can claims against that republic. A expounded by the highest authority, the doctrine and the objections to It application are thus set out: . THE CALVO CLAUSE. . "Disputes and controversies -which may arise with regard to the inter pretation or execution or tnis con tract shall be resolved by the tri bunals of the republic In accordance with the laws of the . nation, and shall not In any case be considered as a motive for international reclama tions." 1 Nothing is better settled In law than that a' suitor having a claim should anneal to a court of law in which to have his claim passed upon ana to see Justice come in the premise. Courts were established for this very nuroose. in order that the parties may not appeal to the doctrine of self-help, taking the law Into their own hands. " This doctrine obtains throughout the civilised world In matters of municipal law. and It should not be varied unless the court Is so constituted, eitner as to be un able to assume Jurisdiction of the claim or does not do justice to the claim. - When cltlsens of the United States, for example, leave this country and establish themselves In a foreign country, such as Venesuela, it neces sarily follows that the American cu lsen must subject himself to the laws and customs of Venexuela. " He'tan claim no greater right or privilege than a cltisen of Venesuela may claim. He may. Indeed, receive leu consideration. And would ordinarily have no right to complain unless. he could show that tho venesueian gov ernment discriminated against him by granting; greater rights or privi leges to a cltisen of another foreign State, such as Great Britain,' for ex ample. Now. Inasmuch as a cltisen or ven exuela In the matter of a contract must aDDeal to the court In order to have any doubt or uncertainty In the contract cleared vp and In order to obtain a Judgment baaed upon the right Involved, It necessarily follows that a stranger residing within Vene suela must likewise appeal to ' the court in a case circumstanced a above. If the same law be applied to htm and no discrimination be made between the Venesueian on the one hand and the American cltisen on the other, or no distinction made between the American cltisen and the British subject there can be no ground of complaint ir, nowever, it appears that the court does not treat claims of foreigners with Impartiality, that foreigners are discriminated against and that there is lacking that impar tial administration of Justice which attache to tne term "court" in civil ised countries, it follows necessarily that a resort must be had to other means so sriat Justice be done. - The Latin-American - countries, it would seem, are not willing that claims arising in their' respective countries should be considered diplo matically. For this- however, there is conalderable foundation, because no foreign country can sit as a court of anneal uDon . the proceeaing ot a coart of a sovereign and Independent nation. Ths real dirncuity seems, however, to consist in the fact that the Judgments of some of the court of Latin-America will not stand this examination, and the . countries In question Insist that, any foreigner en tering into a ooniraci wnn ins par ticular government in question ex nreaslv renounces, by an apt article In the contract, his right of resort ' to diplomatic. Intervention. If the courts of Venesuela, for ex am Die. eaased upon the question ac cording to the evidence submitted and decided the question according to the .evidence, the Insertion of siuch a clause, would be unnecessary; because, as above stated, all Venesueian must resort to th,-court and foreigners re siding, either temporarily or perma nently. in venesueia inouia not d given greater rights or privileges than the natives or cltlUens of Vene suela.' :' It is a fact, however, that the sep aration of the executive and the ju diciary Is not se marked or so care fully safeguarded In. Latin-America as in tha English-speaking world. Tor which' reason, there is often a grave doubt that the case In question, will be prejudged or tho court, will be in fluenced directly or Indirectly to ac cept the view agreeable to the execu tive for the time being. This may or may not mean a denial of justice. ; While, therefore,. ths ' Individual American residing In Venesuela may not ask that his country take up the claim , diplomatically ' for tha reason that he must seek his redress In the courta of Justice, and for the second reason that he has renounced ex pressly his right to appeal to the dip lomatic intervention . of his country, still the United Btates owes a duty to protect the eltlien even, against him self. Ht may renounce his right or privilege as far sa the Individual Is concerned; he may not renounce tne right or duty of the United Slates to protect its cltlsens abroad, because he Is not the accredited agent f the United States for this, purpoae. There- fore, it la a question of policy for the United States ; to espouse or to refuse to espouse the cause of an American citizen thua circumstanced. It la, however, a ' question for the United States, not a question for the cltlxen, and against the decision of the United .States to Intervene the foreign arovernment cannot well pro test The reason it two-fold: First because that very government must da the same for Its own cltlsens In jured In foreign parts; and, secondly, because the denial of Justice In the Individual case is. the cause of the In tervention. V ..V-.-,v : THE ICE SUHTLY OF A CITY. A Full Crop When Cut Weigh More , ' Than yur Million TonsMelted, ' It Would Form a I-ako aa Largo as . Central Parky Willi an Average Depth of tight Feet Half of It Is New Tork' Evening post 'i - -x . It Is a safe wager, that , few New Tork residents have any adequate idea of what the failure of vthe loe crop means They are familiar . enough with the Inconvenience to themselves resulting "from-an Ice famine and Its consequent Increase In the price of ice; but of the conditions governing the loe harvest and Its distribution throughout the metropolis they have no means of being Informed. . New York depends for the greater part or its ica supply upon -the na tural product in time of a threat- enea ismine ne layman, naturally, asks why the deficiency in the natural ice supply - cannot . be . mad, np by means of artificial ice. The answer lies in the fact that this: deficiency is not so mad op. because If It were possible to manufacture artificial Ice aa cheaply as the natural article eca a be secured, 'the Ice companies would no longer depend for their supply up on a cold winter, but would establish Ice plants of sufficient capacity ' to produce all of the Ice that can be consumed. .. The loe-consumln capae ity or New Tork city may be etl mated by the capacity of tho ice house in - which the auboly la stored. Ex cept for a -comparatively small output or the artificial product the Ice sup ply of New Tork city for the summer Is obtained from the Mohajsrk and Hudson rivers and the lakes, and ponds In .their vicinity. i tror the storage of this crop, ice houses of an aggregate capacity of 4,- 117.00 tons are maintained. . The figure convey little meaning; to the lay mind and will be understood bet ter by comparison with some familiar quantities. The normal supply of na tural Ica per year, which measures at tne rats - or forty-nvs cublo rest to the ton, if stored in a single building of a uniform height of thirty-five feet would cover an area of something more then thirty-six city blocks. Such an ice house if erected - to "face on Fifth avenue and Twenty-third street would have a fronting on the avenue extending- from the ; Twenty-third street corner to Seventeenth, west on Seventeenth-street to Eleventh ave nue, notrhward - thence to Twenty- third street and east to the corner of Plfth avenue opposite the Flat Iron ouiiaing. in is enormous mass or torn. If melted, -would create a lake of an average depth of eight feet of water having an area equal to that of Cen tral Park, which la three city blocks in width and fifty-one blocks long. comprising a total area of 151 city blocks. r . This quantity of Ice, which most be harvested each year in order that New York city may enjoy the normal sup- Ply at normal prices. If converted into a solid cube would measure 111 feet In length, width and. height and would possess a bulk more than equal to all of the sky-scraping buildings situated In ths .i. area bounded by Broadway. Beaver street , William street and Wall street A. simpler means ot measuring its bulk, perhaps. will be to compare it to the Metro politan Life Insurance - Company's building st Twenty-third street and Fourth avenue, which covers an en tire block with the exception of the small plot at the northwest corner occupied by the old Madison Square Presbyterian church., This Ice cube would possess a bulk eleven and one half times as srreat as the completed Metropolitan building and If made to conform with tho dimension of the brock on which this building stands. It would tower 1,781 feet . Into the air. HALF IS LOST BY MELTING, This enormous quantity does not represent the actual consumption or ice by New York city, because 40 per cent of the quantity stored melts be tween the time of storing la the win ter and the time of delivery from ths canal boats and barges In the summer by ths wagons to the cits consumers. From the time or cutting to the distribution In New Tork city, the history of a ton of Ice Is one of continual loss. Out or the mass stored ths amount - consumed by . New York would bs represented by the contents of an Ice house thirty-five feet high having a ground area of only eighteen city blocks TIN, how ever, would cover an area more than nine times that or Maaison square Park, and If melted would cover Cen tral Park with water to tne aeptn or four feet In order to show the wast age of lea In storage and transporta tion, an orlglnai quantity ox too tons of loe at .the time or storage may be taken. Of this quantity stored In winter, twenty tons have melted by the time it Is removed from the Ice house for transportation. Of the or iginal quantity then, only eighty tmi are placed aboard the bargee. Dur ing transit this quantity ahrlnks by meltag to sixty tone. The wastage during the delivery nas not yet been taken lnto"'accounfc-t-lt-l-estimated by ths Ice dealers that sixty- tons unloaded at the pier will have shrunk ten tons more before delivery at the doors of the consumer. - The failure of the Ice crop last year, however. Is said, to nave left ths Ice dealers with less than half of the normal supply to draw from. The actual amount Of ice at the sour ces from which New Tork city Is sup plied aggregated last winter 1.S7Z.1I1 tons, which Is 1,444,801 tons less than the amount harvested under normal conditions J the year before. The to tal quantltt Of natural Ice from which the city may draw for its supply this summer ls, therefore, represented by considerably less than a total bulk of Ice lost by wastage in a normal year.' .- '"'m , ' .-. ...
