".fhe poor laws need complets

Poor Mech yesterday. They are
not asfn:fe enough IN many
cases. Under The present poor

agree on the question OF whether those
who receive temporary or partial sun
port should he called paupers or not.
Tue prosecuting attorney says that II
they are helped for time that they
are not paGpcrs. and therefore can gam
a settlement. while the city attorney
takes the opposite view. This differ
ence of orinlou causes us considerable
trouble. For instance, We have y case
on hand JUS. now something like this.
We were called on TO help 3 woman
who had two sick children.

again We helped her until the children

short time ago she applied to US for the
third time, bat as her years residence
in tho city had passed since she had
been to IA before we decided that she
had passed out of our jurisdiction-had
gained \ settlement IN the city-and so
we turned her over to Mr.. Krnse for
help. He refused to give it. saying she
was our charge. We say that the tenn
porary aid we gave her did not make
her a pauper, and therefore she was
not our charge. The case is not an in
frequen. one. and 1t should be decided
by the courts. In the meantime the
woman does not get any help from,
either of us, and it isn't right that the
poor should suffer because Of some

vessels carrying white men no distinction is

standing joke that the men come home much
stouter than they shipped.

approaches owners AMI masters i'll the feet are

have signed their men already, but still many

signed are. of course, hard to get at but it is
plainly evident that as in the past there will be
nothing like uniformity in wages. some have
signed on a lone NTH lay, Others get ''$3

draw 81 per skin. High line men are, OF course,
sought after and naturally get more money. f.
