Elusive Dollar
WASHINGTON. Oct 21. Declaring
that 'dearly as ho loved the South he
Was not willing to have her purchase
Commercial sueceBs at the sacrifice of
her IK tie children, V. C. Roberts,
chairman of a labor committee of the
Central Labor Union of this city, to
day at the convention of the United
Textile Workers of America, stirred
up much Indignation against Dr. C.
A. Stiles of the United States public
health and marine hospital service,
for defending the employment of
children in the Southern cotton mills.
Dr. Stiles' offending remarks were
reported as being made at the meet
ing of the Southern Textile associa
tion at Raleigh, N. C.
Mr. Roberta declared his surprise
that a public officer, paid from the
public revenue, should appear before
a convention of employers of labor
and undertake to defend the system
of child labor In the Southern states.
He advocated action by the conven
tion In opposition to any attempt to
further extend and to perpetuate the
system of child labor In Southern
cotton mills. Such employment he
aid, tended to displace adults.
Ixives Southland.
, "I love the Southland," said Mr.
Roberts, "and 1 would do almost any
thing In my power to have the cot
ton of the South manufactured In
Southern states. Hut there are prices
I would not pay for such commercial
victory. I would not give our little
children as the price of success. We
kndW that the houses of these peo
ple are Insanitary. The effect of or
ganized labor Is to make them more
-sanitary. Here -in the District of Co
lumhla; it Is "it daily occurrence to
hear white and black men and wo
men asking the Judge or the police
court to Send them to the workhouse
because they would be better off
there than In their own homes.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21. Theodore
Roosevelt, writing In the November
number of Scribner's magazine, gives
an account of his first encounters
with big African game.
'My friend, Carl Akely. of Chicago,
actually killed bnrenanded a loopard
which sprang on him." he says. "He
had already wounded the beast twice.
crippling it in one front and one hind
paw, whereupon It charged, followed
him as he tried to dodge the charge
ajiri struck him full Just as he turned.
It bit him in ono arm, biting again
and again as it worked up the arm
from the wrist to the elbow; but Aye
ly threw it. holding its throat with
the other band, and dinging its body
to one aide. It luckily fell on Its
side with its two wounded legs up
permost, so that It could not tear him.
He fell forward with it and crushed
in Its chest with his knees until he
distinctly felt one of Its ribs crack;
this, said Akely, was the first moment
when he felt he might conquer. Re
doubling his efforts, with knees and
hand, he actually choked and crushed
the life, out of It, alttvought his arm
was badly bitten."
Killed a Lion.
Mr. Roosevelt devotes considerable
space to telling how he brought to
bay and finally killed a lion. The de
scription begins at a point where th'e
hunter is standing beside his mount,
considering what he shall do if the
lion charges and cannot be stopped
by a well directed shot. The writer
continues:
"Now an elderly man with a varied
past which Includes rheumatism does
not -want to vault lightly Into the
saddle; as his sons, for instance, can;
and I had already made up my mind
that In the event of the lion's charg
