SCARED CHILDREN
WITH HOT IRONS
Chicago Tots Tell In Police Court Of
Almost Incredible Cruelty of
Their Parents. X"

| Almost Incredible was the story OF
Inhumanity toward their children
which was onfolded in q Chicago no.
lice court when Michael and Mary
Janoszek were arraigned on charge
Of assault The children, Mary, six
years old, and Annle, four years old,
shrank In terror before their parents
during the court proceedings.
For more than a half hour Mary told
Of the cruelties to which she and her
sister had been subjected. She said
that the mother had twisted broom
handles In their hair until 1t was pulled
out by the roots and that one day
when she (Iary) lost 1G cents her fu.
ther broke her arm by striking her
with club.
"Onc day mamma said that bit my
sisters finger" Mary said, ''and papa
kicked me. He kicked me many times,
and he also struck me with his fist.
Then he locked mo md Annie In the
coal box In the back Of the house. He
made us stay there for two days and
gave us pieces Of bread to eat. When
we cried that we were hungry he took
redhot poker and burned our backs
and arms"
The girls showed their arms and
backs, which were found covered with
bltsters and deep sores.
Netghbors also were In court and
told Of the many cruelties which the
parents had practiced on their children.
One Of the neighbors finally was un-
able to bear the shouts Of the little
girls any longer and informed the po-
lice. The arrest Of the parents fol-
lowed.
Justice Mayer held the prisoners In
$40, 900 bail each for the grand jury.
"Ths Is the most horrible affair ever
known In Chicago" he said to them
"You are both inhuman monsters. No
punishment could be devised by man
to fit the crimes you have commit
ted. You, Mrs. Janoszek, should be
whipped until you drop. I cannot bear
to look upon those children. l hope
you will both be sent to prison for
ever"

The Cotton Acreage.

New York, May 31.-The June cot
ton report of the Journal of Com
merce, which will be published to-mor-
row points to an increase Of G.3 per
cent in acreage. The report states that
the increase in acreage may be great
er, but the disposition to under-esti-
mate the crop is so prevalent as to
make it exceedingly difficult to OBJ
tain reliable data concerning acreage.
For this situation the officers of the
Cotton Growers association are
chiefly responsible. They have persis-
tently conducted campaign of exag-
geration and misrepresentation, the
consequences of which are more in
furious to growers whom they pretend
to protect than to buyers whom they
cannot deceive. Such practices con-
fuse cotton growers as much if not
more than cotton manufacturers, and
profit none except the speculator.
Condition Of the crop appears to be
quite satisfactory, the June percent
age for the entire cotton belt being
S2.1, against TIA last year, and 1913 in
1904. Replies have been received
from 1,400 correspondents and their
average date is May %. In Texas the
increased acreage amounts to 3.3 per
cent over last year, and in Oklahoma
and the Indian Territory the increase
is 1875 and 17.9 per cent respectively
Florida is the only State showing a
decrease, namely per cent, other
wise the increases are.
North Carolina, 4.S per cent; South
Carolina, DC per cent; Georgia, 6.2
per cent; Alabama, 4.S per cent; Mis-
sissippi, al per cent; Louisiana, 2.5
per cent; Arkansas, 3.S per cent !;
Tennessee, % per cent, and Missouri
3 per cent.
On account of the low temperatures.
accompanied in nearly ell parts of
the cotton belt by dry weather, growth
has been retordcd and much replant-
ing necessitated, making the crop two
weeks late. Reports Of scarcity Of la
Dor are very general, but little acreage
has been abandoned owing to the
small amount Of cultivation, required
for the growing plant. Fields, as a
rule, are clean and insects have done
hardly any damage. Texas and Geor-
gia show excellent conditions, due
largely to dry weather. The. boil
weevil has made its appearance in
Texas.

Postal Card Luncheon.

Souvenir postal cards, which have
burdened the mail bags all winter,
were recently put to novel use by a
Brooklyn girl, says the New York
Press. This young woman, known as
an enthusiastic collector, gave a "post-
al card luncheon TO each guest on
arriving she gave foreign postal card
and told her to find her own place at
the table. This was not difficult pro-
ceeding, for at each place was a tiny
flag Of foreign country, and the girl
with q German card took her place by
the flag Of Germany, and so on. The
