NOT A HOUSE BUILDING IN HoL-
 YOKE.

The direct effect of the carpenters
 strike here is not very great except to
 the carpenters themselves. for there
 is very little building in the air for
 the simple reason that this strike was
 forecasted months ago There is not,
 a new house being built in Holyoke to- day, a most remarkable thing for the
 spring season. Scores of men who
 would have made repairs on their
 premises, enough to have given enl- ployment to good many men, have
 postponed them until all strike dan
 gers are past. So on the face of it no carpenters themselves. But the in
 direct effect is very great. unfortu-
 nately so. Because the carpenters
 are striking, the men who work along
 with them, the plumbers, the painters,
 the brick and stone workers, must all
 be idle until this one large cog in the
 building machine is set going again. { While 450 men have laid down their
 hammers and saws many more hun
 dreds must wait their readiness to { work again. The contractors will not Rf1i9C AAiS NiltS llCl pCCdQSc 1 they are unwilling but because they feel that they cannot.

Mrs. Francis Bell. wife of Thomas Bell,
of No. 1T5 Tenth street, when it. de-
yeloped that Thomas Bell had sold his
four-year-e daughter Rose Gwendo-
line for one cent. Mrs. Bell
pleaded guilty to the charge of using
abusive and insulting language to Mrs.

one of her children and refused TO give
it up. Mrs. McDermott claimed that the
Bells had agreed to relinquish all claim
to the little girl-Rose Gwendoline--and
exhibited written agreement signed by
Bell, the father of the child, and mark
pufporting to be intended as the sigma
tureof Mrs. Bell, but which Mrs Bell de-

knowledge thereof, and wherein it is
agreed that the Bells should relinquish
all claims upon the child in consideration
of one cent. That vas to ciinch the bar

CASEY CASE DISMISSED.

The charge Of selling liquor to minor
preferred against John Casey, the veal
thy saloonkeeper of Thirteenth and
Grove streets, was heard in the First
Criminal Court this morning, and was
dismissed. The case is that Of the sell
ing of pint of beer to year-old
Henry Bruins by David Callahan, Mr..
Casey's bartender, some weeks ago. The
boy was seen coming out of the saloon
with the pail of beer by Father Nc
Ilhone, of st. Michaels parish at a time
when Mgr. Sheppard was conducting
crusade against the selling of liquor to
minors. Chief Murphy ordered Police
Captain Kelly to Investigate the case.
and the investigation resulted in the ar
rest of Bartender Callahan. The charge
against Callahan was heard and argued
in the First Criminal Court several
weeks ago., and Callahan, who was rep
resented by Lawyer Henry g. Condict,
was discharged, it being decided that
Callahan was acting merely as an agent
of Mr.. Casey and that the charge should
have been made against Mr.. Casey. A
charge was then preferred against Mr.
Casey, aud the case submitted on briefs:
The boy swore he told the bartender that
he wanted the beer for a Mrs. Maurer
Lawyer Condict held that in such case
the act was one Of Mr.. Casey selling the
beer to Mrs. Maurer. and cited various
decisions to sustain his contention.
Police Justice, Higgins thereupon dis
missed the charge against Mr.. Casey.

MRS. WILLARD FISK IN THE CHAIR


Odd Fellows Hall, at Rergen and
Fairmount avenues, was crowded yester-
day with members of the Women's Equal
Taxation League, who listened to an ad-
dress on the subject of Equal Taxation
by .Assemblymam James Fielder. Cab
met photographs of Charles c. Black
We're distributed
Mr.. Fielder said from the start that
while be was aware that the League was
non partisan he spoke on the subject of
his address as a Democrat. He talked
plainly on the subject for about three
quarters of an hour. He was introduced
BY Mrs. Willard Fisk. Mrs. Bedle, the
president of the League, was out of
town.
Mr.. Fielder said it was a good omen
when women became interested in a pol
itical issue that affected the ffeside ana
told how much could be accomplished by
their moral influence, even if they had
no vote He told them they could by ar
gument induce others to vote for them.
He said he did not propose to pose as an
instructor and supposed that the mem
bers of the league would conine them
selves mainly to moral suasion and the
distribution Of literature on the subject
of equal taxation. AS the clubs aim was
single one.he said, the result was nee
essarily all the greater
The speaker reviewed the fight for
equal taxation ina historic manner. He
told that in 1880 long before his time the
railroad business was in its infancy and
the state, desiring to encourage the indus
Try was lenient in the matter Of taxing
the property of the old Camden
and Amboy Railroad, which had
its tax incorporated in its charter.
Other railroads that were built up
were treated in the same manner. But
lthey grew and became prosperous, as
early as 1869 Governor Randolph called
attention of the Legislature to the ne
cessity for a readjustment of the tax sys-
TEN. There was practically no change
until 1884, and the law then passed. said
the speaker, We are working under today.
Ir. Fielder told of the fight Leon Alb
bett as Governor made for equal taxa
tion. and of how Governor Albeit was
hampered in accomplishing what he set
out to do by hold-over Republican leg
isIature. GOV. Abbett's cry was that the
railroads property should be taxed the
same as all other property; but the Re
pnhlicans would not allow that. In 1888,
he said the law was again amended be-
cause the Central Railroad Company at
tacRed it in the courts. The law was sus-
tanned in all except a few particulars.

meant by the main stem, the main road

James Fanjoy, who on September q,
1901, fred four bullets into ahe body of
Mrs. Elizabeth T. Busch. of No. 143
Montgomery street. and who served eigh-
teen months therefor in State Prison,
walked up TO Police Justice Higgins's
bench in the First Criminal Court this
morning and told the Justice that two
men had killed his mother in Brooklyn,
and asked what he should do. He was
asked if the Brooklyn police knew about
it, and he said he didn't know. Justice
Higgins, who did not recognize the man,
sent him to Chief Murphy, who instantly
recognized him. His story to the Chief
was to the effect that two keepers in the
County Jail had accused him of killing
his mother. The Chief saw that the man
was ''batty"
Prior to the shooting Of Mrs. Busch,
Fanjoy. had been in the Long Island
Hospital for the Insane, and before that
he had been in the Mattawan Asylum in
New York. 1t was his plea of insanity
that got him a. light sentence for the
shooting of Mrs Busch. He was re
leased in August last and Mrs. Busch
has feared for her life since. Fanjoy has
been working over in Lafayette as han
dy man.
q Chief Murphy ordered papers made
out for Fanjoy's commitment to jail as a
dangerous lunatic. He sent Detective
Sergeants Bennett and Gallagher with
Fanjoy to Jail, Fanjoy going along will
lngly, under the impression that the de-
tectiye sergeants were going up to the
Jail to investigate his story.
The shooting of Mrs. Busch occurred
at noon on September 21. 1901. Fanjoy
had a room irS the house. Mrs. Busch
was at work in an adjoining room. In
some way she annoyed Fanjoy, who
opened the door leading to the room in
which Mrs. Busch was working and
without any warming fired four shots,
each taking effect The wounded woman
screamed and smashed window with a
chair to attract the attention of the police.
Fanjoy fred shot at Mrs Buschs hus-
