Indulged In a lit? tle fracas that Attracted the atten? tion of all of the waiting passengers and loiterers at the rtalon yards. 1 seems that Mr. Smith had bang engaged by the manager of the com? pany to haul the scenery and baggage of the company and the trouble was started by Mr. Smith not having haul? ed all of the scenery back to the sta? tion this morning. Mr. Smith stated that the reason that the scenery was not hauled was because he had been unable to ge* the stuff to haul. He said that he had been to the place three times, once ladt night and twice this morning, to get the stuff to haul but had been unable to get any one to give it to htm. Last night he was delayed because the laundr ? of the company had not come, und this morning he could not find anyone to give htm the stuff that had to t hauled. On the other hand Mr. Hob- j ertson stated ?hat Mr. Smith had had the scenery hauled to the Academy j of Music r.nd he should know what to haul back from It. He said that . the persons who had hauled the stuff ?Is*where had hauled It back without ether directions than that It had to be hauled back, and he thought It Mr. Smith's place to know what he had I hauled to the pla- e and what he ought to haul back. The dispute became a very hot one , and Mr. Q P. Plan*;on, the baritone g| the company eeelng the two about to | some to blows ran in between the two So keep them apart.

Washington, Feb. 13.?Reciprocity with Canada, reciprocity with all countries of North and South Amer? ica end reciprocity with ail nations was advocated by both President Taft and Champ Clark in stirring addresses at the opening session of the Pan American conference today. Speeches favoring a closer commer? cial union of North and South Amer? ica with frequent references to the future influences of the Panama canal were made by P. C. Knox, secretary of State; James A. Uarrell, president of the United States Steel corporation; Senator Calvo. the Costa Kh an minist? er to the United States; Senor Calder on, the Bolivian minister to the Uni? ted States, and Senor Casasus, for? merly the Mexican ambassador to this country. Nearly 600 delegates were present. Champ Clark, who had just left the house of representatives, announced in his address amid loud applause that the test vote for immediate Can? adian consideration of the reciproc? ity bin bad been won by the admin? istration, Turning to President Taft, he said uughlngly; "That's a document which the president and myself own In part rshlp. i>ut i speak for myself, not for President Taft or any one else, I am for reciprocity not only with Canada but all Southern and Centra] American republlca In fact, I'm In favor Of reciprocity uith all nations of the earth. My principle is that honest trade never hurt any nation yet," Mr. Clark's concluding statement that the Pan-American union and The Hague tribunal were two Influences which would llnully put an end to war among civilized peoples was en? thusiastically received. "The last speaker and the next speaker and I," said President Taft, who followed Mr. Clark, "have got? ten together on one plank of the plat? form. We are both rather heavy men and I hope it'll support us. It is a great pleasure to be with him In the promotion of trade in one part of the wot Id (C nads TT.'.-, ro favor of reclproolt n all parts of the world and mo am 1. tut thai does m t help auch toward a definite agi i ment We'll vote ft r s/Im meaaur<but when it comes to determining what measures are wise, there's a differ? ence of opinion. In anticipation of his coming to be head of the great popular branch of the legislature we have already gotten together on the most Important matter and 1 hope we can carry It through." The president declared that the promotion of commercial relations necessarily WOUld bring about a closer political and social relationship be? tween nations and "makes less likely the hostility and hard feeling that are likely to h ad to war." "I have no doubt," added the presi? dent, "that a^ Commercial relations become wider, and The Hague trib? unal's purpose In preventing war be comes better understood theh union of all of the countries In this world can be done by an Internationa] union tor the purpose of maintaining peace." Becretarj Knox emphasised the part that amerlan capital should play in developing the resources of Pan j Ann rica. "Ltd me candidly confess," said he, "that In the past we have been too Ignorant of our Bourthern n< Ighbors, their vast undeveloped resources and the measures they have been taking to open themselves in the world." Secretary Knox declared that the United states believed In better steam? ship communication) railroad con? struction! the development of the treasures of the Andes, and In an in? ternational hank tvhtch "will keep the commercial currents flowing In their proper direction." President Parrell of the United States Steel corporation defended American export methods as equal to and In many cases superior to the methods of European manufacturing countrlea He declared, with refer? ence to the criticism that Americans do not extend their credit relations In i \port trade, "that wherever there is a basis for credit America nmanu facturera will be found as ready to grant it as Europeans."

DR. ELIOT FOR FAMILY OF SIX. Boston Women Vp In Arms Over The Question. Boston, Feb. 12.?As the result of a difference of opinion between Dr. John Lovc-tt Morse and Dr. Charles W. Kliot, prtsident emeritus of Harvard, upon the subject of large families, Boston women are up in arms over the question, and at many women's clubs the subject has been placed up? on the calendar for early discussion. "1 don't agree with Dr. Morse." -ays Dr. Eliot. "I believe no restric? tion of the birth rate can be support? ed, either by normals or econoimcs. The durable satisfaction of life de pend upon having the normal number of children, and the normal number of children is tive to six to the family. A mother should bear a child every two years. "Granting that marriages should come at the average age of -1, this periodical child-bearing should con? tinue until the mother is 40, resulting In eight children. This high num? ber, however, would be lowered in average by the death of either parent or two or more of the children. I believe in monogamy, equal chastity between men and women and the nor? mal birth rate. "The durable satisfactions of life are not obtained by famlli*.- that havt only one or two children. Therefore I am not able to accept the economic excuse as a reason for limiting the number of children. The number to be born has a natural limit, and the : conomb * " nltatlon Is wholly unnat? ural."

JUDICIARY REPORT DIVIDED. SENATOR EARLE DOES NOT AGREE WITH OTHER SEN \ TORS. PcHove? Matter Should Rest With < hin Executive?Majority, How? ever, Thinks Different. Columbia, Feb. 14.?in the senate \< sterday, message No. 11 from doe. j Hlcn.sc, referring to the right of the chief executive to appoint a special judge, came up on a report from the judiciary committee. The minority im? port is signed only by J. U. Barle, who Introduced in the senate late Saturday a bill extending the powers of th? governor on such appointments. This bill also recelces a divided report, the minority being signed by Senator Earle alone. The minority report of the judiciary committee on message No. 11 says. "Report of the minority of the Ju? diciary committee on the governor s message No. 11. "The undersigned dissent from so much of the report of the majority of the judiciary committee as holds that s< ctlon 27 4.} is constitutione'.. The conflict referred to in the message Ii as to BO much of the said action as confers upon the supreme court the power to nominate or recommend and compel.- the gov< rnor to com miss1 on the person v-o recommended. That part of the section Is as follow*: " The governor, up >n the recom medlation of the supr me court, or the chief justice lh< reof If the su? preme court be not in session, shall immediately commission as special judge such person 1? anted in the law as shall be recommended, etc.' "Is this conferring upon a judi; ;al tribunal or officer the power of ap? pointment? And is that a purely executive function? "The last sentence of section C, ar? ticle 5 of the constitution, is as fol? lows: "The general assembly shall provide by law for the temporary ap? pointment of men learned In the law to hold ?ither special or regular terms of the circuit courts whenever iher1 may be necessity for such appoint? ment.' "This Is a mandatory provision which must be exercised with respect to and in consonance with every other provision of this supreme law. "Section 14, article 1, is as follows: In the government of this State the levislative, executive and judicial] pew r ? f tin- governnv nt shall be ?.ore ? ? separate and distinct from each other and no person or persons] exercising Lhu function of one of said department shall assume or discharge the duties of any other.* "The foregoing extract from section 27 4 3 seeks to confer a paramount power to appointment upon a judicial tribunal or officer, thus combining executive and judicial powers, which is in conflict with the section of the constitution last quoted. "J. R. Earle, ?For Minority of Committee." The report of the judiciary commh tee on governor's message No. 11 is as follows: "Governor's message No. ll having been referred to the judiciary com? mittee we beg to report that we have carefully considered the same and make the following finding. "Setion il, article f> of the consti? tution of 18S5 undoubtedly gives the legislature the right to provide by law for the appointment of judges to hold special or regular terms of conn 'whenever there may be necessity for such appointment.' "The legislature lias done this in section 274."., volume 1, code of 1902. "In our opinion this section is con? stitutional. We understand that a bill has been introduced amending this section and hence we will make no report as to its wisdom, but will pass upon the bill when it comes before us. "J. lt. B.
