FACTORY INSPECTION.
Subject of Paper BY Mrs. Fisk
at Philanthropic Meeting
Yesterday.

It was an unusually large meeting. uhat
of the Woman's Club Philanthropy De-
partment, held yesterday afternoon at the
residence Of Miss Barlow, No. 1872 Fair
mount avenue. There were twenty-five
members present, which is an increase of
almost fifty per cent. on the average at
tendance OF last year
The afternoons programme consisted of
a paper on Factory Inspection" by Mrs.
Willard Fisk, who prefaced her remarks
by saying she really knew very little about
the subject, but nevertheless gave an ex-
cellent address on all the phases of the
manner in which factories complied with
the laws, especially in the matter of ac-
commodations for their employees. These
accommodations, she said, while they in
a way complied with the laws. were far
from what they should be. She said the
rules governing the factories were good,
but not properly enforced.
Mrs. Fisk then passed on to discuss the
children, under age, employed by fac
tories. This in many instances, she
thought, was due to the parents, who
added to their offspring's ages in order
to get them factory employment.
The paper consumed about ten minutes
in delivery and proved most interesting.
OF course a general discussion on the sub
ject followed.
The greater part Of the meeting vas
taken up with sewing, the women being
busy with a stock of what they are
pleased to term emergency garments"
that is, a reserve stock to be called on at
any time by the various charitable insti-
tutions which the Philanthropy helps
supply.
The subject Of r~eopening the work room
for the Organized Aid was also discussed
and it was decided to find rooms suitable
for the purpose as soon as possible. that
the work might be started December 1.
Last year the Organized Aid paid two
months rent for the work room and the
Philanthropy Department one. This
year the Organized Aid has agreed to
pay the rent and the department all
other expenses.
Another decision made by the women
was that of giving the children of the
Free Kindergarten a Christmas treat sim
liar to that of last year.
After the meeting refreshments were
served, n it was decided to make a
change in the scheduled programme by
making the next time and place Of meet
ing, December II, at the residence of Miss
nellie Coffin, No. Sc Glenwood venue.
instead Of at the residence Of Mrs. Gar
rick.
Among those present yesterday were
Miss Barlow, Mrs. Charles BROWNIE, Mrs.

The aboninable injustice of the present
method Of eleeting Assemblymen is also
fully shown In the returns. The Repub-

The Democratic vote is 12S. $50. and it will

IN a word, a difference of less thar %
per cent. in the constituency creates a
difference Of e75 per cent. in the represen-

in the Constitution, a vicious Republican
lawsuit ana the ~scandalous neglect Of Re

BANKRUPTS DISCHARGED
Petition Granted to Richard

Especial to seThe Jersey city News-"1

Especial to tsrhe Jersey City News."1
TRENTON, Nov. rs, lSs9.-Former Gov
George T. Werts appeared in the
States District Court yesterday
morning. he being interested in the mat
ter of Edward J. Looney, bankrupt. Mr..
Werts represented William J.. Looney, a
brother of the alleged insolyent, and AL
bert I. Sire, both OF whom had been cited
to answer a rule to show cause why they
should not be attached for an act of con-
tempt.
In course of the arguments it was
shown that Edward ]. Looney had at
one time been in possession Of a hotel
building in Morristown, and that upon
the destruction of the house by fire he
transferred to William y. Looney an
insurance claim for 5000. This led his
creditors to- file an Involuntary petition in
bankruptcy. and as a ground on which to
base the proceedings, mentioned the
fraudulent delivery Of the Insurance. But
the move OF the creditors had no effect
upon William. and he continued in an at
tempt to secure the money.
Subsequently a restraining order was
allowed directing that he and his attor-
ney, Albert 7. Sire. desist at once from
prosecuting the claim. Yet even this pre-
caution was. so 1t is commended, permit
ted to go unnoticed by the clients Of the
Ex-Governor, who still persisted in press
ing the mpa 1t is on this complaint
that the creditors, through Messrs. Colt
& Howell, of Newark, seek to gain a
satisfaction, and though nc determination
was reached at yesterdays session, the
case was adjourned until two weeks hence
when the Court will further consider 1t.
Judge Kirkpatrick, who was on the
bench, granted final discharges to Ash
ley M. Heron and Louis R. Eiss, OF
Newark, and Richard Henry Reed, of
Jersey City, all OF whom are now bank
rupt and no longer accountable to their
former creditors. In addition q rule
was allowed directing that cause be
shown why composition should not be
confirmed in the case of Isaac c. Boyers-
dorf, OF Salem. This was made return
able on December 26, and means that
the petitioner and his creditors have
agreed as to a settlement and that there
is no longer any necessity for legal inter-
ference.
Orders to show cause why the follow
ing insolvents should not be discharged
were allowed and made returnable ON
Bash, of Newark; William ]. White, of
Lock Arbor; George g. thinner, of Tren-
ton; Charles Dol1arf, of Asbury, War
rem county; Ignaz Glein, of Newark, and
Edward Grosseup, of Bridgeton.

INSURANCE SOCIETY PROGRESSING
Applicants for Davis Association
Scheme Increasing.

DR.. Nevin, medical inspector of the new
insurance association in connection with
the Robert Davis Association, has made
an examination of many applicants for
policies and these will be reported on at
the next meeting of the Committee on Or
ganization, which will be held in the
rooms OF the association on Friday next.
It is intended that the sum per month
for a $500 policy will be fixed at one dollar.
and in every way the advantages to the
members win be better than could be
given by any outside affair. Already the
younger members are taking great inter-
est in the society and it is hoped that the
5000 or more members Of the association
win aid the success of the movement. Mr..
Davis IS anxious for it to grow rapidly and
he is aiding the plan in every way.
