Massachusetts, Example.

A company in a small village of Massa-
chusetts which employs 5000 men, most Of
them unskilled immigrant laborers, has
elaborated the system of homes for en-
ployes to remarkable extent The COM
pany furnishes neat, attractive houses at a
rental of 81. 80 month, much better houses
than the average in the Massachusetts viii
lage. and gives with every house an acre of
ground. Prizes not only offered for the
tidiest housekeeping and most attractive
grounds. but also for the best flowers, poul-
try and garden fruits and vegetables.
Every year while the factory Is shut down
for summer overhaullng there IS held an
agricultural fair under the management Of
the company. All the exhibitors are en-
ployes and the varieties and the excellence
of the vegetables and fruits, domestic ami
mails and poultry, needlework and other
women's fancy work attest the alacrity
with which even unsklled laborers and
their families grasp opportunities for i'm
proving their standard of living once the
way is shown them.
The poultry exhibit last year was pro-
nounced only second in point Of excellence
among the agricultural fairs OF the state
The display of small vegetables was unex-
celled.
Some departments of welfare work have
been further developed in department stores
than in any other business. 1t is related
of one of the largest owners of stock in
one of the largest department stores of this
city that he was led to take up welfare
work by the fact that girl In his employ
once starved to death.
Her condition was, of course. unknown to
the management or to any of her co-em-
ployes. Taken Ill IN her ROOM she was I'M
able to attract attention or to secure help.
The occurrence served to inaugurate a
system in that store which has been largely
followed in others. Every employee Is pro-
vided with postal cards directed to the firm
and is instructed to mail one Immediately
IL unable to report for work
AS soon as such card is received en-
ployes are sent to the sufferer with in
structions to see that she lacks nothing in
food, medical attendance or necessaries or
comforts

since the work of rescue was SO admirably
carried out The crew consists of the MAS

Mr.. Johns, 1.-The two of them were following

The torpedo boat was kicking UP white
smother under her counter and the sub
marines were tearing through it In per-
feet sluice of foam.

they were heading away from US. but very
soon after this they took a long, sweeping
curve and came bearing down directly to-

bows and SO did the first submarine, which

There was a lieutenant on the cone OF
this sternmost submarine No. A 8. / could
spot him by the two gold rings round his
cuff. l take it that he saw he could not
cross our bows and decided to change direc-
ton so as to pass under our stern. Any
how. he called something down below.
These boats you must know. are steered by
wheel placed down CLOSE under the con-
ming tower. The hensTnan cannot see
where he is going, but can only obey In
structions. The craft was so close to US
at this moment that we could plainly hear
the quick clamping of her motor and the
noise of the water parted by the thrust OF
her hidden bow

as to exactly how it came about The sub
marine was going very fast. as l have told
you. She looked we'll trimmed and 60

to her carrying a double crew. When the
lieutenant shouted below to change course

hard over.
The boat came curvlng round in hiss
OF white frOth and began instantly to heel
over. You must have noticed that IL the

swerving round in way that brought my
heart into my throat. The lieutenant saw
what was going to happen; never a doubt

voice. Man, what are you doing? You'll

The submarine rolled right over until

YOUNG YAM, CELESTIAL,
AMERICAN BY BIRTH
Justice Gould Says he Can Remain in
the United States-Deportation
Is Countermanded.

Justice Gould, yesterday afternoon. de-
cided that Young Yam. Chinaman, is
lawfully in the United States, and may
stay here.
The Celestial. who is more than twen-
ty-one years old. was arrested in July,
1904, on the charge of being in this
country contrary to law. Yam was given
preliminary hearing some time ago be-
fore United States Commissioner Anson
8. Taylor. He held that the Chinaman
was illegally IN the United States and
directed that he be deported- From this
Judgment Yam took an appeal 20 the Su-
preme Court of the District.
According to the evidence submitted
to Justice Gould, Yam was born in San
Francisco in 1876. When he was between
fsix and seven years old he went to China
and remained there until 1889. when he
returned TO the United States.
An investigation made by the Depart
| ment Of Commerce ard Labor substan-
ments made by Yam. Testimony given
by persons who reside IN the neighbor-
| hood OF San Francisco where Yam says
he was born also corroborate him in
many respects.
After hearing all the testimony tbs
| court reversed the decision OF Commits
sioner Taylor, ordering the deportation
| of the Chinese, and held Young Yam is
| properly and lawfully in the United
! States
| Thompson & Laskey represented Var
| in the proceedings both before the com.
| missioner and in the District Supreme
