SCHOLARSHIPS FOR CHILDREN
Only Eight Mothers Wholly Depend
ent on Small Children's Labor.

Last fall the Chicago Women's club
voted to provide scholarships for all
small children whose widowed moth
ers were wholly dependent upon them
for support. This was done In order
that the rigid enforcement of the child
labor law should not work a hardship.
A search continued thru several
months has revealed only eight such
cases. TO these the club is paying
sums ranging from $3.50 to SO a week.
the amount of the child's earnings.
The small number Of cases was a
great surprise, but it was shown that
in a good many cases where children
were working for small wages,
the family derives no substantial ben
eft, as the child spent it himself on
car fare, lunches or for nonessentials.
Even the mothers were often surprised
when they realized how little they
were actually benefited by the labor of
small children. After thoro investiga-
ton, and cases are approved. they are
referred to one Of the clubs interested
and the scholarship is provided.

Cut Day, More Pay

NEW YORK, Aug. ,29.-Fifteen hundred
members OF the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers, representing localities
within 500 miles Of New York, at a meet
ing here today unanimously voted to sup
port the contention of the motor engi-
neerS employed on the elevated road that
the men employed in the subway shall be
paid the union wages of So so for nine
hour day, instead of SO for a ten hour
day, the rate at which General Manager
Bryan, of the Interborough Rapid Tran
sit company. proposes to pay the subway
motormen.
Grand Chief Warren S. Stone, of Cleve-
land, and Assistant Grand Chief Edward
j. Hurley, of Boston. will remain here to-
morrow and probably Tuesday to try to
settle the difficulty with the interborough
The men would not discuss the posi-
bility of a strike being ordered ON the
elevated in case Mr.. Bryan does not
grant the demands of the brotherhood.
Besides the discussion of local condi-
tions. the meeting considered the ques-
ton of the introduction generally of cleo
trlclty in place of steam power on rail-
roads not only in the. vicinity of New
York, but also throughout the country.
The men are convinced that this is COM
ing more quickly, than is commonly be-
lieved and the greatest part of today s
session was devoted to the consideration
of this subject.
Addresses were made by w. E. Fuch.
president of the insurance association of
the brotherhood, and others. The whole
matter of the settlement of the local diff
Guilty was left in the hands of the grand
lodge. represented by Grand Chief Stone
and Assistant Grand Chief Hurley.
Representatives of the local in Brook
iyn, where the motor engineers, are paid
only So day, were present at the meet
ing. They are to a certain extent dis
satisfied and it is said they will demand
the same wages they received as engi-
neers when their contract with the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit company expires
in a few weeks.

snend MlIlions for Rapid Transit

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Eight million
dollars or more will be expended by the
New York, New Haven & Hartford for
improved rapid transit from New York
city to the Bronx, and that part Of West
chester lying along Long Island sound,
according to information given out to-
night by President Charles S. Mellen.
A connection with the Interborough
system elevated is proposed among other
improvements at West Farms, and it is
the plan eventually to give thorough
service from the Battery to New Rochelle
and Mount Vernon.
The money for the improvements is to
be raised by an issue of s15,000,000 of
repayment to the New Haven of money
advanced during the past thirty years on
account of the Harlem River & Port
Chester railroad, the titular owner of the
Harlem branch of the New Haven. The
bonds have been underwritten at pre-
MUM.
Of the six tracks from Harlem to New
Rochelle four will be electrically equipped
with the third rail system, and two will

will not only handle the freight but will
be the outlet for the New York connect
ing railway running from Harlem over
RandalFS and Wards islands to Astoria,
where a connection with the Pennsylvania
railway will be made. Trains from the
south and west will then run over the
Pennsylvania tracks through the tunnels
under New York to Long Island City,
over the Harlem branch through TO Bos-
ton and the East.
The plans now only await the formal
approval of state and city authorities.

Meyers, the aeronaut who started in race
from the worlds fair grounds Saturday
afternoon for the Washington monument,
and whose balloon landed near st. Charles

Prof. Meyers said he landed where he
did because he feared he would be unable
to catch an upper air current that would
take him east After leaving the worlds
fair grounds the balloon was carried in a
northweSterly direction. Neither he nor
the balloon was injured.
The balloon of George b. Tomlfnson,
who started in the race with Prof. Mey-
ers, was seen that night anchored in a
prairie several miles north of ST. Charles.

Fears Kidnapping

PITTSBURG, Pa, Aug. 29.-TEe priest
of ST. Nicholas Croatian church., Ale
gheny, is barricaded in his house under
the belief that an attempt to kidnap him
will be made.
The situation is the elimination of sev-
eral months of trouble in the church. A
majority of the congregation, it seems,
accused the priest of mismanagement of
the church's finances and demanded his
removal.
Bishop Phelan refused to accede to the
demand and ordered the church closed.
No services have been held for eight
weeks and today, after concerted action,
nearly 500 members of the congregation
headed by brass band formed in pro-
cession intending to call on the bishop.
The bishop, it is said, received word
of the visit and notified the police, with
the result that twenty-five officers met
the procession at the Pittsburg end of the
bridge and turned the marchers back be-
cause no permit to parade in Pittsburg
had been secured. The disappointed
crowd returned to Allegheny and held an
Indignation meeting.
The priest received word after the
meeting, through some source, that a
resolution had been passed to get rid Of
him by force.
Those at the meeting said such a reso-
luton was made, but failed to carry.
