SANITARY HOMES
FOR JEWELLERS
IN TENEMEMTS

Lawrence WELLER addressed a represent
ative audience in the hall OF the Young
Women's Christian association yesterday
Problem"
Mr.. WELLER. who is director OF the or
ganized charities of New York. was asso-
ciated with Robert DeForest in his work
for improved tenement house conditions
I'm New York, and a feature OF the lecture
was the description OF the sanitary new
law" tenements as contrasted with the
filthy conditions (which obtained in the
crowded tenement blocks of the lower
East Side previous to 1901.
Preceding the lecture the annual report
was read by the secretary, Mrs. Joseph
Kendrick, I'm which was set forth the
work OF the committee appointed to OBJ
tain legislation i'm behalf OF home for
the feeble minded in the state.
Mrs Edward s. Olney. chairman of the
committee to provide a home for the fee.
ble-ninded, gave a comprehensive report
of the work accomplished sinCf the first
steps taken by the council in'1soo.
Mrs. Frederick IL. Jackson. president OF
the local council who presided, said that
the State Federation OF Women's clubs
and the council had voted to investigate
the tenement house conditions i'm this and
other cities.
Mrs. George III. Fowler, president OF
the State Federation, said the executive
board of the federation had appointed a
committee to investigate the conditions
and prepare law. I'VE wish to take such
measures as will prevent the tenement
house blight here" she concluded.
NJ. WELLER declared that he thought. af-
| ter listening to Mrs. Fowler, that the
| women of Providence knew more about
| what they wanted to do than he could
| tell them. He continued:
while Providence has not as yet ten
ement house problem, what has happened
| in New York may happen in any grow
| ing city such as Providence unless pre-
| ventive measures are taken"
lie then went on to describe conditions
in the old tenement blocks in New York.
Ten thousand people die from tuberculo-
sis I'm a year." he said 10000 more are
sick. and thousands cannot sustain life
without the aid OF charity, while $4,000
children are in institutions. What kind of
civilization is 1t which makes such vast
expenditures for charity necessarily
Mr.. WELLER emphasized here the point
that the people, especially the women.
were largely responsible for conditions as
much as the landlords, and should see to
1T that proper laws weer enacted to do
away with such conditions.
Mr.. WELLER showed bird'seye views of
| tenement blocks. in which he pointed out
the narrow air shafts on which the dark
rooms opened stating that up to the pas
| sage of the new law in 1901, there were
$4,000 dark rooms i'm the city of New
| York. that at the time OF the investiga-
ton there were 1000 in one block alone.
The law of 1901 made this impossible In
! stead OF air shafts an open court is now
obligatory, and there is not a single dark
| room. He urged his hearers not TO build
modern tenements until they had obtained
laws to prevent men from building bad
| tenements.
Since the new law went into operation
i'm New York, he declared, 1--WE have pro-
vided sanitary homes for million peo-
| ple."

Siorengino Bergamo. the owner of the
tailoring establishment at 6S Market
street, has been fieeced out of $4,000 by
New York crooks in a wire-tapping
game, according to the story he told
to Inspector McCaffrey, Of the New
York Detective Bureau. yesterday. The
local authorities are in the dark so far
as the case is concerned, as Bergamo
has not notified them of his loss. and
the first knowledge Captain Carol, of
the Central office, had of the case was
when he read it in a newspaper.
The scheme by which the trusting
tailor was separated from his money
is as old as the ark. that Of a plausible
stranger telling a susceptible dupe that
he could get inside information on the
races from the telegraph company and
beat the boolxies a mile before they
got the news.
Bergamo told the New York police that
from April / to June 20 he had put up
large sums of money In poolrooms at the
suggestion of a man named White, who
late in March visited his place of business
In this city and purchased suit Of clothes
from him. and between the fittings told the
