Secretary Straus has come to Homo

study the immigration and labor ques-
lions, and he has applied himself to
the task most assiduously. When

do so. but said he had come to seek
Information rather than to give It,

body told her once long ago that wal
nut would be very scarce and valuable
some Of these days. SO she is saving It.
There might have been times In the
history of every one OF these articles
when they would have been of value

been gIateful for those garments:
some poor. old. ailing body would have
rested easier for that old walnut bed:
even those umbrellas and those old
furs might have kept water and frost
away, but up in the attic, where they
have collected dust for years, they
have benefited nobody After all. there
is such a thing as being too saving.

In spite OF the large number OF

fessed that the greatest interest was
centered around a small group on the

John BroniSki Had
Miraculous
Escape.
WIRES HELD HIM
Was Squeezing Into Narrow Place
at Copper Works TO Fix a Con-
veyor, When He Became
wedged- Unconscious
for Over a HaIf-HOur
Through Heart.

Joseph Broniski, aged thirty, of 9S
Division street, had a very narrow
escape from death yesterday shortly
after noon at the Raritan Copper
Works, when he was caught between
two live wires and $50 volts passed
through his heart and body. He was
rendered unconscious for more than
a half hour and was later removed to
his home.
The accident occurred right after
the noon hour in the furnace depart
ment of the works, when the men had
returned to work after eating lunch.
BrOniski was sent to repair a large
conveyor in the furnace room, which
is propelled by electricity. In squeeZ-
ing into a narrow place to properly
do the work he became wedged be-
tween two live wires connected with
the machine. One pressed against his
back and the other against his breast
which sent about $50 volts directly
through his body and heart. He called
for assistance and fellow-workmer
rushed to his aid. After considerable
trouble and fear that the man wa!
killed he was pulled from his perilou:
position in an unconscious state.
DR.. w. E. Ramsay was called tt
the works and he worked over thu
man until he regained consciousness
half hour later. He was then takeI
to his home and is resting comfort
ably today. That he was not instant
ly killed seems miracle, as the volt
age of the wires forming circuit
passed through his heart.

ed to go over the proposed line of
