SLAVE STRANGERS
WIN bELANG|0S
DAN0ND CASH
Merely Wanted Trifling Security
for Wad of Funds They
Left with Him.

Joseph Belangio, of IS Blocker street,
made his first entry into the realms Of
high finance today, and as a conse-
quence he is now deploring the loss of
o diamond ring valued at $125, a silver
watch and $40 in cash.
Belangio was approached by two
strange fellow countrymen in Eighth
avenue shortly after 10 a. m. today.
who had in their possession a large
amount Of money. which they wished
to deposit in some bank. This money,
wrapped in a handkerchief, was shown
to BelangiC.
He knew exactly where they could
find such a bank as the one they were
looking for, and offered to lead them to
it. but his plan failed to meet with
their approval. They had other inter-
ests which demanded their immediate
attention. they said, and they were sure
hat they could trust Belangio to de-
post their funds for them. OF course,
they would require security, but 1t
would be merely nominal and nowhere
near the value of the funds with which
they would intrust him.
Belangio took an inventory of his
personal effects. producing the diamond
ring, watch and $40 In cash, which he
handed over, receiving in return what
h supposed to be a handkerchief full
of money.
Subsequent examination of the hand
kerchief showed 1t to contain nothing
but a quantity of waste paper. Tho
police of the Second precinct are now
engaged on the case.

return in a half hour, William 'Stadler,
the 10-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.

request, but when the store was
reached it was found that an errand
boy employed by Mr.. Blumhor was al
ready there n young Stadler was told
that he might return to his home. The
boy remained, however. n a few min
utes later the errand boy. who was
busy in the rear, was startled by a
crash in the front of the market. Rush
ing out, he found young Stadler pinned
beneath a Z heavy beam which had been
standing against the wall. A hurry call
was sent for assistance n the Second
Precinct ambulance was o on the
scene. The lad was rushed to St.
MichaePs Hospital, but he was dead
before the ambulance reached there.
He was the only son of Mr.. and Mrs.

heartbroken over his tragic death. they
blame 40 one for the occurrence.

CLUB WOMEN SAY
SCHOOL SYSTEM
NEEDS REFORM
Mrs. Granville Weeks Scores
Board and DenOunces Pres
ent Methods.
"TEACH GIRLS TO BE
GOOD SERVANTS" SHE SAYS
President of Civic Club FavOrs
Allowing Children to Be
Wage-Earners.

Mrs. Granville Weeks severely scored
the Board of Education and denounced
the present system of higher education
in the public schools at the meeting
of the Civic Club, held yesterday after
noon at the home of Mrs. Harry Camp
ton, 536 Broad street.
Mrs. Weeks was particularly en-
phatic in her denunciation of the cook
ing schools and the manual training de-
partments. She said: Cooking, as
taught in our public schools. is all
wrong. and there is nothing practical
about it,"
Mrs. Weeks stated that American
girls shc','d be trained to become COM
petent servants, and taught that the
position of servants is not menial-
This should be taught In the public
schools, she said, and until 1t Is Amer
lean girls will fail in their mission al
mother and housekeepers. She de-
clared that there are too many unnec-
cessary studies in the present day
school curriculum, and that they are
beyond the grasp of the intelligence ct
the average child.
In the discussion that followed Mrs.
james G. Corlies, the president of the
club. said that reforms are De1nS
started the wrong way about. She ex-
pressed the opinion that the child labor
laws are wrong, that children should
not be prohibited from working when
their earnings are needed in the homes
Greater harm will come h SAL
Through the mothers absence from the
home where her care of the children Is
needed than if the child Is allowed to
work and contribute its share toward
the maintenance of the home"
Mrs. Corlies Is strong in favor of in
dustrial education in the public schools,
and said tina some discrimination as
to the needs of the children should be
made.
1t was decided to hold a meeting on
Monday, December 9. at the home OF
Mrs. Corlies, when the subject of IN
dustrial Education will be treated in
an address by q speaker to be an
nounced later. The club will adopt res
olutions to be presented to the Board
Of Education. deploring the present
condition and asking for a change in
the curriculum.
