A cow was burned TO death in a Gre

home of Antonio Giralfo. a milkman, of
Franklin street, In the Silver Lake sec
ton OF Bellevllle, last night, the alarm
FOR which was given by some excited men
shooting off firearms. Two other crows were
scorched. and a horse, which was also
seorched, was released and ran away. The
animal had not been recovered this morn
ing. The loss to the barn and contents
was about $500.
The origin of the blaze. which started
about 11:16 o'clock. is not known. The
Silver Lake section is outside the Belle
vile fire limits, and when the italian resi-
dents saw the blaze they began firing off
pistols as an alarm. This brought a crowd
TO the scene and a bucket brigade was
organized. The fire in the barn was beyond
control. and when sparks set fire to the
milkman's house the volunteers set to work
to extin guish it.
In the meantime the Eastwood Hose
and Truck Company received word by
telephone. but through a misunderstood
ing the company did not respond, The
Bloomfield fire department was attracted
TO the scene, but when il WAS seen the
fire was beyond control the fremen re-
turned TO their quarters.

AUDITORIUM

Few plays produced by the Shir
ley Co. lend themselves to the
beautiful scenic effects of "The Lily
and the Prince" which will be
presented during the next week,
commencing Sunday evening. The
first act is one of the finest ever
staged at the Auditorium and one
of the features will be a fountain
playing. The story concerns Luz
crezia Borgia, one of the most
noted criminals in the annals Of
history. This murderess, whose
poisons were the mystery of Eu.
rope, is represented as the rival of
Angela di Savelli, a modest Flor
entine girl. The woman favors the
Prince of Collona as her sutton I'M
til she sees the betrothed of An
gela. the young Count Orsini, and
she then endeavors to take the
maids life. The maid has come to
her to secure the release of her
father and brothers, who have been
incarcerated when they refused to
fall in with Ferrarra to overthrow
the vatican. Instead she convinces
the tribunal which is hearing the
case of her innocence and the in
nocence of her father, and places
the guilt on Ferrarra. In the mean
time Prince Colona has fallen in
love with Angela and there are re-
ports circulated concerning Angela
which almost ruin her happiness
but the denoument of the plot re-
stores her to Orsini and permits a
happy ending. The play has been
cast with Miss Shirley as Angela,
the maiden. George McQuarrie has
Orsini with Miss Cleveland as Lu.
crezia Borgia. There is consider
able comedy in the bill, which is in
the hands of Jack Amory and c.
F. Rolston. The play has been
presented once before.

LABOR LEADERS PLAN
POLITICAL PARTY

the boycott has been declared H.
legal by no less an authority than
the supreme court itself; only yes
terday whole labor council was
indicted by a federal grand jury,
and the day before three officials
of another local were given Jail
sentences.
Each one of thesu things consti-
tutes reason why the national
labor leaders are thinking and
thinking hard.
They are wondering what will
happen next. From their point OF
view they can see only a strange
blind justice whose arms are par
alyzed. some way, against the il
LOCALITIES of organized wealth. but
who seems able to move quickly
and unrestrainedly against organ
lied labor.
The reason Of this seems to be
law.
And law is made by political
parties.
Several other countries have
well defined la Or parties. The
American Federation of Labor has
never moved as a single force in
American politics. Today it has lit
national unions, which represent
$4,000 local unions, 81 state branch
es, with a membership Of some
thing like 100000.
