mission of the steam whaler Herman which left San rancisco yesterday for the far north The Canadian government is sending the wjialcr to the relief of the Karluk which with the greater part of her crew has been missing for several months Explorer Stefanssen commander of the expedition who with three of the crew left tie Karluk which was fast in' the ice to hunt caribou Could find no trace of the vessel when they returned The ice had been broken up by a gale and the ship it is supposed drifted eastward All the steam whalers in the Arctic ocean next summer will keep a sharp look out' for the exploring ship Karluk It is the understanding in Seattle Wash' how ever that the Canadian government be lieves the chances are in favor of the Karluk being safe in the ice and Stefans sen himself is known to take thqt view Capt Pederson skipper of the Herman commanded the Karluk when she departed from San rancisco for Vic toria last June and expected to continue under Stefanssen but was superseded by Capt Robert Bartlett who was sent out from the east by the Canadian' gov ernment There was some friction be tween the two commanders it is said when Bartlett took over the boat at Vic toria Official Disclaims Canadian Backing George Desbarats deputy minister of naval affairs said at Ottawa yesterday that the Canadian government had nothing to do with the sailing of the steam whaler Herman in search of the missing explora tion ship Karluk Mr Desbarats gave it as his opinion that Capt Pedersen was simply going north to resume his trading work in the Arctic do not flunk Pedersen will go to any trouble to find tne Karluk beyond keeping a lookout for he said Canadian government is certainly not be hind him and I do not know that anyone else A YOUTHUL DESPERADO Boy nt IS Battles

appropriation of public money for the use of any sec tarian institution A poll of the committee has been made by the senator showing 5 of the 11 members for the bill two op posed and four who have reserved their rights INSANITY BOARD IS HEARD DR pEPLOMATIO Careful in Ills Answer" to Comnl gioner Cole Dr Michael O'Meara of the state board of insanity was the principal wit ness yesterday morning before the joint committee from ways and means and pub lic institutions which is taking up the recommendation of Gov Walsh and the re port of the commission on economy and efficiency for a reorganization of state in stitutions with a central governing board Having Embassador Page in mind parentTy Dr dodged all the or answers which Commis sioner Cole tried to get out of him and when close pressed selected here and there from voluminous typewritten pages for his replies While the answers did not always seem responsive therefore they were un doubtedly safe Dr O'Meara in opening read at some length a review of the accomplishments and possible criticisms of the methods and policy of the state board of insanity This paper seemed to be largely historical "he witness said that in general the insanity board has had a policy of construction that its members get along pretty well with the boards of trustees' of the various institutions which it supervises and that its principal limitation seems to be in funds and that this has resulted from despotic legislation is an unpaid board" Continued Dr O'Meara "and as such it is not to be ex pected that its members will give all their time to the work We have desired to be progressive and at the same time to be sane Just now the board consists almost wholly of recently appointed members and while we agree that the present system is not perfect we do not think that the plans offered by the economy commission would solve the problems We believe that there is not enough constructive' planning at present We believe that the accounting can be improved by the state auditor and that the department can be so rearranged as to save in the' purchase of supplies We need more power and more power means more time on the workiwith ont pay however a board cannot be ex pected to give more time The respon sibility now the various boards of trustees We 'believe in blanket appropriations for money undersuch ap propriation is In answer to Commissioner Cole Dr said that he was speaking as an individual He said that the insanity board endeavors to co ordinate with the trustees for the board lacks mandatory power give and hecontinued When Dr Owen Copp was its executive officer the board left much of the work to him Commissioner Cole tried to get more closely at the responsibility but Dr instead of answering directly took refuge in his typewritten story and gave an analysis of the care of the insane After the reading Commissioner Cole brought out that the insanity board has power to approve requests for appropria tions but that it has no power to direct their expenditure To further questions by' Commissioner Cole Dr replied that the insanity board had not made any recommendation for relieving the present stress in Worces ter ana that while the point view of the witness 'might have changed since he appeared before the economy commission it was because his "knowledge of condi had been Commissioner Cole As a matter of fact you have transferred your responsibility to two executive Dr Yes it becomes'a question how far a member of an unpaid borad should be held responsible Commissioner Cole Absolutely We are about ready to rest our case Mr Chair man Dr O'Meara says that the state board of insanity is without responsibility to the committee on ways and means and yet it directs a considerable state enter prise The Grafton colony was 'then touched upon by Commissioner Cole "Under Dr said Dr "we were respon sible but not under Dr Thompson (Dr successor) We were in on by the Continuing Dr said that members of the board' may make two visits a year to the various institu tions or that the visits may be delegated to the paid officers He was asked if there was any working plan for making such visits and said there was none until two weeks ago Commissioner Cole Did you ever say that the policy of boards of trustees has no fixed value? Dr O'Meara Did I say that? I know Asked if he had any recommendations to make in regard to the policy and manage ment of the institutions Dr said that he had not expected to be called upon for such recommendations do think" he concluded "that there is more poten tiality in the board than has ever been got out of it but the unpaid board be asked to do much Dr O'Meara the senior member of the board has had a place on it eight years Judge John' Mason of Northampton who has been a member of the insanity board since December 1912 and ranks next to Dr O'Meara in length of service said that the board has not much know ledge of the details of management of the vanous state institutions under its super vision and that this is true of most boards of the kind "I take it that our board has somewhat the duties of a committee on ways an means There is a heavy burden upon any commission that shall undertake to revise fundamentally the system under which state institutions are Commissioner Cole What is your knowledge of the policy of the various boards of trustees? Judge Mason I recall that the reports of trustees were ever submitted to us The general circ*mstances surrounding visits by members of the board to various institution werq described by Judge Mason Representative Tufts asked Com missioner Cole if it had been found that the state board of insanity had violated law in the prosecution of its work and the commissioner replied that the investigation had not disclosed violation by any board or any member of a board but that the criticism was strictly of the system In force Room No 240 in which the hearings are being held was crowded with trustees and members of state boards A Democratic Efficiency Committee A committee of 12 democratic members of the Hotfse has been appointed to confer daily with Gov Walsh on the progress of measures in the

Comparatively Inexpensive Means of Locomotion rom Dsily Consular and Trade Reports 1 The Times of India of Bombay contains the following editorial note on the ad vantages of or gasoline tram ways in India for cheap urban One of the mechanical problems which has to be solved in India is the provision of quick mechanical transport In the smaller towns In the great cities like Calcutta Bombay and Madras electricity has estab lished Itself and despite low fares and long distances' has proved profitable But there are many lesser towns where the traffic will not stand the heavy first cost of electric trac tion In these circ*mstances the experience of Karachi Is most valuable The London Times calls attention to It In an article on the report of the East India tramways The Karachi trams were laid in 1882 and first operated by steam This proved a failure and had to be replaced by horse traction This was little better the company had to be reconstructed and it struggled along until the simplex petrol tram was Introduced In 1909 In the past four years the profits have Increased by 30 per cent and the company Is now flourishing We are not however concerned with the financial posi tion of the that has no donbt been largely influenced by the growth of but with the operating expenses The averT age cost of work Is 98 cents per car mile after making allowance of 16 cents per car mile for depreciation which is a liberal fig ure The lowness of these costs Is best un derstood by comparison The average cost per car mile on the electric of Great Britain is 1808 cents and that of motor omnibuses varies between 142 cents and 228 cents per car mile The comparison Is not of course exact but It Is sufficient to Indicate the remarkable cheapness of the petrol car In certain conditions and seems to open up a wide field for Its adoption in the lesser towns of India Not only at Karachi but at Baroda tlie capital of the native state of the same name gasoline tramways have proved suc cessful and made it possible to afford rapid transit for native passengers who can only pay very low fares A description of these gasoline tram wavs (the type used at Baroda being the same as at Karachi) appeared in my re port on Bsrola in Daily Consular and Trade Reports for October 2 1913 50 COLOR LINE IN BRAZIL Peter MaeQneen In the National Magazine) One element in Brazilian life impressed me greatly That is the almost universal absence of any social "color The fusion of white and black people by inter marriage goes steadily on' 1 was told that so large a percentage of quadroons and octoroons pass as white in Brazil that nn census could estimate them Nt that any real census has ever been made in thi land although probably one will be un dertaken some day The important point is that here the Negro may riso to what ever bights of culture or public service lie will and enjoy as much caste as he like He may mingle with the white population on equal terms If they only realized here is the opportunity of ages for the Negro race Not alone social status but climate and an uncrowded territory are in their favor Let them emigrate in large numbers to Brazil establish good school nnd industrious business then attending assiduously to education and development they would oon have a voice in the gov ernment as well as material and spiritual prosperity and in a generation if they would could behold a vast Afro American community in harmonious relations with the world The tropic zone of Brazil is peculiarly adapted to Negro populations or rather the Negro is peculiarly adapted to it White people find the not moist climate of such regions too enervating and thence largely arises the delay in de velopment of this wonderfully fertile belt The Negro on the other hand seems no less able to work here Than elsewhere un fortunately he is not noted for industry anywhere But I think it is not too mu 2b to believe that through the awakening mon of force and ambition such as are directing the great movement of uplift among tho colored population of our own southern states there is to come a regen eration of this race' A man in Kensington has still in
