Her Charities.

New York, April 4.--Miss Helen
Gould has given out through her sec
retary g statement that the necessity
of retTenchment in her charities had
forced her TO close part of her estate
at Tarrytown, of which a portion Is to
be rented, to rent the girls Industrial

a cost of $4,000, and to discontinue
plans for outings for children of the
poor at Woody Crest this summer.
at is probable that the school will
rot be reopened," the statement read,
and it continued with the explanation
that the present financial conditions
are responsible for this curtailment of
Miss Gould's beneVolence.
Hundreds of poor children have
been entertained at Woody Crest ev-
cry summer and plans had been made
to continue the entertainment there
this year. Miss Gould was forced TO
the conclusion ea at the work could
not be carried out without sighting
other projects which she considered
more necessary and several weeks age
she gave orders to her agents to dis
continue the plans. The Lyndhurst
school, which was a pet project with
her for many years, has been rented
as a school for boys.

GENERAL STRIKE ORDERED
Workingmen of Rome Protest Against
Killing of Rioters.

Rome, April A general strike
has been proclaimed as protest
against the fatalities in connection
with the disorders on the streets here
Thursday, when troops fired on and
killed three rioters and wounded fif-
teen others, four of whom were NOR
tally injured. The strike so far has
not been very successful, especially
in the center of the city. Most of the
shops are open, although shutters
have been put up on the buildings as
a protection against possible riots.
The government has taken ener-
getic measures to restore order and
the whole garrison of the city is be-
ing kept in readiness. Several dem
onstrations had been formed through
out the day, but these were rapidly
broken up by the troops, who, with
fixed bayonets, charged upon the dis
turbers and forced them to disperse.
Seventy anarchists, who had gathered
at their headquarters, were surround
ed by troops and taken into custody.

REVERSES FORMER ACTION
Employers Liability Bill Reamended
by Committee.

Washington, April 4.-The Sterling
employers liability bill, to which, in
an amended form, the house judiciary
committee agreed last Wednesday by
a vote of 10 to Z, has been reamend-
ed, that committee, by a vote OF
IL to 6, reversing itself. 1t was not a
party vote. Seven Democrats COM
hined with four Republicans to make
up the majority ballot.
The clause amended is that relating
to contributory negligence. Last
Wednesday the committee amended
the clause so as to conform with the
La Toilette bill in its original form.
Now the committee has changed the
section so as to read that 'contribu-
tory negligence Cnstead of slight
contriDutory negligence) shall not be
a bar to recovery but the jury shall
apportion the negligence of the en-
ployer and Of the employe and allow
to the employe such sum of money as
shall be in proportion to the ration
which his negligence bears to the neg
ligence of the employer"
Representative Littlefield tMe)
Parker On. j. and Bannon (OD will
file a minority report declaring the
section as amended to be unconstitu
tional.
