V diy the Associated Press".) ,' '"Washington; May 11 Notwithstand ing the anxiety professed by senators to expedite the consideration of the railroad rate bill' there were not a dozen present today when at 11 o'eloek, an hour In advanee of the usual time, the vice president rapped for order. The absentees came ill in rapid succession, however, so that when tin- rate hill was taken up at 11:40 o'eloek there was an average attendance. .Senator Allison was prompt in pre senting the first or his compromise amendments, but the consideration of them was delayed for some minute-i while various senators gave their views on the pass question.. This drat amendment strikes out the words "fairly remunerative" from the fourth section of the bill as descriptive of the rates which the interstate com merce commission may prescribe. The amendment was Adopted without de bate or division. Senator LaFollette made objection to the second amendment limiting to two years the continuance nf the commis sion's orders. He moved to strike out the limitation and spoke for the pro vision. In his -response to this ob jection Senator Knox said that the In terstate commerce commission had recommended a limitation to one year because of the rapidly changing situa tion in fhts country. But the Wiscon sin senator was no' convinced, and he proceeded by declaring his conviction to be that if the provision is to stand the pubiic would receive little benefit. Mr. LaFollelte's motion was voted down and the Allison amendment was then adopted. Aftsr two of the Allison amend ments to tha rata bill had boon adopted Senator Bailey presented his amendment, prohibiting inferior Uni ted Slates courts from issuing tempo rary injunctions against the orders of the interstate commission. Speaking in support, of his amend ment, Mr. Bailey quoted the message of the president of 1!)04 and his Ra leigh, N. C, speech as in support of th? idea Contained In his (Mr. Bai " ley's) amendment, lie said he rec ognized, that the only way that, the power of the commission could be made effective was to keep It in ef fect 'until finally reversed by a com petent court. The amendment was defeated, as was also one by Senator Culberson requiring that injunctions should nol he granted without hearings and im posing other conditions.

Washington, May 11. The seizure by Canadian cruisers of tha fishing smacks Raymnh of Boston and Par thia of Gloucester adds another to the' many vexatious cases of- this kind regarding which the state de partment is now preparing to nego tiate directly with the British gov ernment through Ambassador Du rand upon his return to the country from England. It is pointed out, however, that from the press reports these new cases appear to differ es sentially from those of the Glouces ter boats seized a month ago off New foundland coast and brought into SI, '..'Johns. While it is a debatable question as to whether the Newfoundland au thorities' were within their rights in arresting the Gloucester fisherman who were (here under the 'firms, of the treaty of 1818, granting them equal privileges with British sub jects in the shore waters, no such claim is mad j by the stale depart ment here as to the waters of New Brunswick or Nova Scotia, and no American fisherman has the right, to trawl therein without the consent of the authorities. It. is conjectured I hut this case, however, may involve a construction of the old- and long disputed "headland" claim, and that the American fishing boats, while within an Imaginary line drawn from headland to headland on the Nova Scotia coast Cape Northv were actu ally more than a marine length dis tant from the nearest shore, and so were within their rights. This Is a question to ba determined by the court before which the captains of the seized vessels will appear, and these facts must be awaited by the state department before it under takes to make any representations in the case.

The topic was presented by Mrs. Vida II. Fran cis of 1 his ciiy, who said in part: "The radical difference in propor tion between boy and girl delinquents and in ratio of the naiuro of crime committed by each will serve to il lustrate the-point -which I most de sire to emphasize, that the problem of tlio oiri is not the problem of the oilier. ' "The recent wonderful strides of biological psychology make it seem incredible that our juvenile courts are still applying the same methods of reform to boys and girls. "The judge of a juvenile court has three courses open to him: First, to send th girl back to her same envi ronment under the care of a proba tioner; second, to place her in a good home through the probationer or some child placing agency; third, to send her to a training school. "A girl morally tainted should obviously not be returned to the scene of her infetcion, and only in cases of trivial misdemeanor or in the exceptional case of a good moral hom.n can a girl be safely so re turned. For her misdemeanor has proven that, the home is unable to exert proper influence or power. "In placing girls uninfected by the social evil, but of criminal tenden cies and guilly of ''..trivial misde meanors, the danger is Unit they will nol receive' an adequate special train ing. The place for the normal child is in Ihe normal home, but every de linquent needs a special additional care and a heavy-responsibility resls on judges lo examine the reputation of Ihe families in which the delin quents are placed, and on probation ers lo see that they live up to their reputations and responsibilities. "No words can be strong enough to urge judges not. to send girls who are actually- morally tainted into homes. If it is a crime against the home and .community to harbor a person afflicted wiih small-pox, is it not a greater crime to keep in Ihe home a person capable of infecting others Willi a moral evil more hide ous than physical disease? And it is not only a crime against others, but. against, (he girl whom we are claiming to help."
