Big Mass Meeting to Be Held in
Paterson, N. j.,
OVER MISS BOSSCHEITER'S DEATH
Awful Condition of Girls in the
Silk Mills There.
THE PREY OF LIBERTINES

PATERSON. N. J., October 26.-The rev.
Citations made in connection with the MUIR
der of Jennie Bosschieter continue to cause
the greatest excitement and indignation in
this city, and arrangements are being made
today for a monster mass meeting to ex-
press public indignation and to insist on
speedy Justice. -. ~, d..
Public sentiment is becoming more in
famed. every hour. Trouble is, feared this
evening, when a political mass meeting is
held att,Colt's Hail. The hall adjoins the
jail In which the prisoners are confined.
Even the most conservative citizens de-
ciared today that such a meeting cannot
take place close to the jail without some
demonstration of the popular feeling over
the case.
The authorities are considering the ad-
visibility of swearing in special deputies to
protect the Jail. 1t is limited that the pris-
oners may be quietly removed from the
building this afternoon and kept away until
tomorrow.
The movement for monster mass meet
ing Is oelng engineered by President Arthur
w. Bishop of the local branch of the So
ciety Tor the Suppression of Vice. Promi-
nent ciergymen are aiding in the work.
Awful Conditions in Paterson.
Mr.. Bishop declares that the condition in
Paterson is awful: that the young girls of
the mill are considered the legitimate prey
OF liberdnes; that cases similar to that of
Jennie Bosschieter are of nightly occur
renee. and that the grand jury is utterly
rotten and prevents the punishment of
those with Influence"
y, In my opinion nothing will be done with
the men now in JAIL" said Mr.. Bishop to-
day. 4 do not believe the accused will
even be indicted for murder
Prosecutor Emley said today that he had
decided to lay the case against McAllster,
Kerr, Campbell and Death before the grand
jury next week. 1t is expected by the
prosecutor that the four men will be
promptly indicted by the grand jury, as in
addition to the evidence of the cab driver.
Sculthorpe, he says he has secured much
other evidence going to prove the guilt of
the prisoners. Prosecutor Finley scouts
the idea that any influence can be brought
to bear to postpone the consideration of the
cases of the four men. The prisoners will
be brought to trial. he says, just soon as
the business of the court will permit,

Alleged UnequaI DistrIbution.

Mr.. W. C. Allen, the District electrical
engineer. has recommended to the Commits
sioners adverse action upon the request Of
DIR. Chas. M. Emmons and others that the
arc light to be, erected in square 926 be so
placed as to light up the, alley known as
Browns court in that square Mr., Allen
explains that the placing of the light as re-
quested would be to reduce the distance be-
tween 1t and the lamp next south Of 1T to
110 feet. and to increase the distance be-
tween it and the lamp north of it to $50
feet. This unequal distribution OF the
lights would, he believes, be very detrimen-
tai to the service on the street.
