ARMSTRONG AND HER DAUGHTERS! AQED CIVIL WAR MERO SAVED FROM SHERIFF BY $30,000 BOND, MRS. LONGSTREET TR ffELP Widow of Southern Commandtr fiiyi "The Republic Who*e Battloi You Fought Will Not Per- X mlt This Degradation." New York, Jan. 29.--For a few min­ utes here Monday Gen. Daniel B. Sickles, hero of the battle of Gettys­ burg and sole surviving corps cOm­ an der of the Civil war,' was a pris­ oner of the Btate of New York on a harge of misappropriating $23,276 of the battlefield monument fund. He was given his freedom when Sheriff Harburger, his old friend and successor in the office which the lat­ ter now holds, accepted a bond of $30,000 covering the shortage, and therewith began a campaign to raise, by subscription, enough money to make up the alleged shortage. While the arrest and bond transaction were taking place in the library of the Sickles home in Fifth avenue, the general received a . telegram from Mrs. Helen Longstreet, widow of the famous Confederate general, in which she offered to take up a subscription to make up the amount which the general is alleged to be short in his accounts. The telegram was ji&ted at Gaines­ ville, Ga., as follows: "My soul is sorrowed by your trou­ bles. I am writing to the attorney general of New York that I will raise money among the ragged and desti­ tute veterans who followed General Lee to make up the amount demand­ ed if New York state will allow suf­ ficient time. The republic whose bat­ tles you fought will not permit this degradation.--Helen D. Longstreet." The sheriff, at the head of a small army of deputies, counsel, bond clerks and newspaper men, found the ninety-three-year-old general in the library of his mansion. After a pleas­ ant conversation of a few minutes the sheriff apologetically served the state's summons which General Sickles tossed upon the table with­ out looking at it. The general then produced a surety company bond for $30,000, which was readily accepted. Later Stanton Sickles called on his father to discuss the latter's financial condition. The discussion grew so bitter that the general finally ordered Stanton from the house and told him never to cross the threshold again. WAS FOUNDED TWO YEARS AGO NEW HARVESTER CO.

Son of Retired Oil Magnate Describes the Origin, Work and Proposed Plane for the Investigation of Vies Condition*. New York, Jan. 17.--In order that the public might better understand the Bureau of Social Hygiene, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., on Monday gars out a statement explaining the origin, work and plans of that institution. The bureau, he said, came into existence about two years ago as a result of the work of a special grand Jury ap­ pointed to investigate the white slave traffic in New York city. This Jury recommended that a public commis­ sion be appointed to study the social evil. Mr. Rockefeller was foreman of that grand Jury and he thereafter gave the subject deep thought and conferred with a large number of lead­ ing men and women. "These confer­ ences," says Mr. Rockefeller, "devel­ oped the feeling that a public commis­ sion would labor under a number of disadvantages, such as the fact that it would be short lived; that its work would be done publicly; that at best it could hardly do more than pre­ sent recommendations. So the con­ viction grew that In order to make a real and lasting Improvement In con ditions, a permanent organisation should be created, the continuation «f ^whlch would not be dependent upon « temporary wave of reform, nor upon the life of any man or group of men, but which would go on, generation after generation, continuously making warfare against the forces of evil. It also appeared that a private organisa­ tion would have, among pther advan­ tages, a certain freedom 'from public­ ity and from political bias, which a publicly appointed commission could not so easily avoid. "Therefore, as the initial step, in the winter of 1911 the Bureau of So­ cial Hygiene was formed. Its pres­ ent members are Miss Katharine Bern- ent Davis, superintendent of the New York state Reformatory for Women at Bedford Hills. N. Y.; Paul M. War­ burg, of the firm of Kuhn, Loeb A Co.; Starr J. Murphy, of the New York bar. and John D. Rockefeller, Jr. As the work develops new members may be added. "One of the first things undertaken by the bureau was the establishment at Bedford Hills, adjacent to the re­ formatory, of a laboratory of social hygiene, un'der Miss Davis' direction. In this laboratory it is proposed to study from the physical, mental, social and moral side each person committed to the reformatory. This study will be carried on by experts and each case will be kept under observation for from three weeks to three months, as may be required. When the diag­ nosis is completed, it is hoped that the laboratory will be in position to rec­ ommend the treatment most likely to reform the individual, or, if reforma­ tion is Impossible, to recommend per­ manent custodial care. Furthermore, reaching out beyond the Individuals involved, it is believed that thus Im­ portant contributions may be made to a fuller knowledge of the conditions ultimately responsible for vice. If this experiment 1b successful the prin­ ciple may prove applicable to all classes of criminals and the conditions precedent to crime, and lead to lines of action not only more scientific and humane but also less wasteful than those at present followed." That Its work might be done Intelli­ gently the bureau employed George J. Kneeland to make a comprehensive Burvey of vice conditions In New York, and Abraham Flexner to study the social evil in Europe, and their reports are now being prepared. These studies will be followed by others in various American cities, and it is the hope of the bureau that, based upon all of them, may be devised a prac­ tical plan for dealing with the social evil. In conclusion Mr. Rockefeller's statement says: "It cannot be too strongly emphasised that the spirit which dominates the work of the bu­ reau is not sensational or sentimen­ tal or hysterical; that it is not a spirit of criticism of public officials; but that it is essentially a spirit of con­ structive suggestion and of deep sci­ entific as well as humane interest in a great world problem."
