Verse like the following is like to en-

Who have shaved and saved to raise these

Then a triple hail for the dear old dads.
In the preface Mr.. Day has outlined his
purpose, to present these plain tales, in
verse, OF the men whose hands are Bills
tered BY pillow handle and ak or whose
calloused palms are gouged by the travis
Their heads are as hard the stones

student yesterday, continues to be a
mystery. NJ. De Redyznski, the Rus
sian friend of the girl, who is believed ia

which killed the girl was taken from its

haitian 'tL" Company had been absorbed

Street, however, is sure that the deal
has been made. Brokers think the
Gould family and Russell Sage have
made some arrangement by which
they turned over their holdings
of Manhattan "L' stock, and that
the Inter-Borough people went into
the open market and bought additional
stock so that there would be no doubt as
their control. The passing of the control
ofthe Manhattan leaves local transporta-

the Borough, which will control

A Philadelphia Raid.

Philadelphia, Nov. 21.-Revolting
almost beyond description were the de-
tails rehearsed at the Central police court
today. when forty prisoners out OF the
ll3 captured in last nights raid upon
alleged houses of shame were arraigned.
Many of the prisoners were young girls,
still in their teens, who, it is alleged
by the German consul and others,
were enticed from their homes in
foreign lands to come to the dens OF
iniquity under pretence Of securing
honest employmentor husbands. These
prisoners cried bitterly as they were led
to the magistrates court. Others were
women, hardened to their lot, who strut
ted brazenly along the passageway and
leered upon the spectators from the dock.
There were a few men among the
captives, and these, the detectives say,
are the dealers in the inhuman traffic.
All were taken into custody at nightfull
Yesterday in the most gigantic raid OF
the kind in Philadelphia police history.
District Attorney Weaver announced
that whereas it had been the practice
heretofore not to indict inmates of dis
orderly houses, he would inaugurate a
new system and indict them, in future.
The appearance of the district attorney
in magistrates court is unique in
Philadelphia legal practice end indicates
the Importance which the authorities
attach to this crusade. Mr. Weaver
stated that the commonwealth had beer
unable to prepare the case on such shor
notice and asked that the hearing b.
continued until next Tuesday morning
There was a lengthy argument, but
finally, the district attorneys reques
was granted. The prisoners were thel
arraigned separately for the purpose o
fixing bail for the further hearing
Each of the alleged proprietors of in
fanny were held in 81, 200 bail for cour
and each of the inmates for 5000 bail
Although nothing sensational came on
publicly at the hearing, several of tn
younger girls were examined privatel
and the stories they told are said to hav
been startling and disgusting.

The Strike Commission.

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 2l.-Experi
testimony adduced before the coal strike
commission yesterday and today shows
that the avocation of the miner usually
brings on miners asthma and rheuma-
tism. 1t was further shown that CON-
plications arising from miners asthma
we're usually fatal. One doctor testified
that miners lungs became so saturated
with coal dust that even when the miner
leaves the mines he coughs up coal dust
for years. Rheumatism was found to be
a common thing. Conditions of this
kind, it was shown, were brought on by
the inhalation of powder smoke, coal
dust, and bad air. Many miners suf-
fered severely from being compelled to
kneel in water while cutting down coal
in the chambers.
The anthracite commission may
adjourn after today until Monday, owing
to the fact that President Mitchell is
unable at this time to present document.
airy evidence which he is securing. DIR.
Gibbons, the first witness today,
enumerated many illnesses resulting
from the mining. The witness expressed
the opinion that those who suffer from
miners asthma had predisposition to
bronchial troubles or lung affections
before entering the mines. The doctor
pictured many of the inconvenience
and dangers common to miners.
Scranton, Pa, Nov. 2l.-Therei.is every
reason to believe that the operators and min
ers counsel will come to an amicable and sat
isfactory agreement during the period of adj
journment next week, which will relieve the
anthracite coal strike commission of hear
ing further testimony and rendering decis
ion.
