NO LIGHT ON THE HAT.
Rezrord Fund IN Murder Case Noso
So. 300.

Ae..r following every clew proceedings in the
Ardsley murder mystery are at a standsuA- An
arrest which two days ago seemed certain now
seems decidedly uncertain The detectives are
still following the hatIess man ciew, but seem
ingly are on a blind trail. Two new clews
proved to have no bearing on the case.
At meeting of the Ardsley Club on TUESDAY
night there was warm discussion as to whether
the club should contribute toward the reward
fund which Edwin Gould is raising. major
inv of the members wanted TO do so, but
minority vigorously opposed this desiring TO
keep the club as much as possible OUT Oh the
affair. The majority, however, was hrni IN us
attitude and was about to carry the proposal
when a member of the minority brought forth

While the club is doing everything possible 10

that the murder done by some one lahhllai

SAYS SOUTHERN EMPLOYERS Baked
Hugh F. Fox Declares They Ignored Chance
to Present Their Side of Child Labor
Question.

About fifty mill men of the South were invited TO
attend the recent National Conference Of Char1ues
and Correction at Atlanta, Ga, and present the
child labor subject from the operators point OF
view. Only two of these permitted their names
to be used on the programme; only one OF these
spoke. and that one kept clear OF the SUBJECT
under discussion It is understood that before the
meeting. men prominently identified with the mill
interests undertook to have the topic pigeonhoied
on the ground that child labor would be before the
next session of the Georgia legislature, and they
did want interference They were unsuccess-
full In this. Hugh F. Fox conference chairman
of the committee on dependent children and child
labor and president of the New-Jersey State Board
