NEW YORK. Jan. 1S.-Burglars chic

five children, three grown girls and two
little boys on the ground floor OF the
Twenty-first street address. Retiring

the foot of the bed, Mrs. Graugner
awoke toward morning and noticed that
the night lamp had been turned up
Her husbands vest lay on the floor, the
seams ripped. His watch, worth SIS,
was gone with the money. She aroused
him and he sprang out Of bed, only 70
fall 10 the floor. She opened a window.
and the fresh air partially revived him
Their three daughters were in q
stupOr when aroused. The air was rank
with chlorOfoTm. The burglars had ram
sacked the fiat after having drugged the
victims. They took everything OF value,
including the hoard IN the vest.
The same morning Mrs. James BeT-
gin who lives on the FIST floor Of 3S2
East TWenty-first street with her nus
band and five children, got up 20 get
breakfast. She noticed the OdOr OF

FRESH AIR NEEDED.

Medicine IS not OF much use to !
cure consumption. Fresh air and
clean living are the essential !
forces to combat the dread white
scourge. Every precaution should
be employed to prevent the germs
from settling on the lungs. and
coughs and coils should not be
neglected. To break up a cold
quickly and cure any cough that is
durable, mix a half ounce Virgin
OIL OF Pine with two ounces Of
glycerine and a half pint OF good
whisky. Shake well and take a
teaspoonful every four hours. Five
|, ounces Of tincture OF Cinchona
compound can be used without
whisky with the same effect.
This mixture will usually break
up a cold over night. Care should I
be exercised TO use only the genu-
inc Virgin Oil Of Pine, which IS I
prepared in the laboratories Of the
Leach Chemical Co, Cincinnati, o..
; and put up for dispensing. only in :
1k-ounce' walls, each securely sealed :
in a round wooden case. 1t IS bet J
ter 10 purchase the different in I
gradients separately and mix them I

COMFORT OFFERED
ON STEAMERS TO NORFOLK

Historic surroundings, splendid hotels
and many natural attractions make Old
Point Comfort a popular place with
tourists at all seasons of the year. The
presence OF naval and military officers
at nearby Fortress Monroe gives the
4soclal life of the resort a special charm.
Trips 10 Old Point are usually made
from the Capital via the handsome
steamers of the Norfolk and Washing
ION line, sailing every day in the year
at $50 D. m. They lack nothing that
can in any measure contribute TO the
pleasure and comfort of journey on
shipboard. The fine cafes are especially
noteworthy fea lures. Daily connections
are. made at Norfolk with boats for
New York and Boston, and also with
railways for all points south.

cies, the average rate Of wage per day
for the Italians was 81. IS: for the SlaVs
and Hungarians. 81. IS. and for the other

The Padroue System.
Formerly the italian immigrant Ia
borer was almost entirely in the hands
OF the Italian paGrone," the report
states. within tho past two or three
years, however, the general officers Of
the great railroads have taken strong
measures for correcting abuses and the
eNtoTtiCns ana abuses practiced In form
er years have been eliminated.
The railroads still secure their I'M
skilled lab.f through the Italian agents,
which are supplied free of cost. In re-
turn the agents are permitted TO estaD-
lsh sleeping shauties and CommissaTy
stores. From his monthly pay from the
railroad companies. the expenditure
for food and clothing Is deducted and the
Italian receives the balance.
AT boarding camp a fixed charge
is made for boarding and lodging Of
each man. At the common table the un-
skilled immigrant laborer Of all Euro
pean natiOnalities except the Italian
come into close personal contact with
the first Americanizing influences.
Italians Save IIOst.
The Italian keeps by himself. The
padrone system encourages this method
on account of the great profit to them
and the Italian Iaborer. in a small way,
profits also. He is kept at work by the
agency and he can live much cheaper
The Hungarians and Slavic races
when permanent work is secured form
groups Of twenty or thirty men and
live oH a cooperative plan. Their board
amounts 10 from $40 to 81 per month.
The Italian labOTers are said TO save
more money at the same wage rate
than any other class of European Ia
bOrerS in the United states. The thrift
OF the Italian is indicated by his method
of living The money orders which were
sent to Italy from this country in 1905
amounted 10 S16. 239. 134. while the amount
sent TO Russia and Austria-Hungary
was Sc, $50, z28 the number Of the ma
tives from those countries now in the
United States being twice that OF the
Italians.
These sums, great as they are" the
report states, represent but part OF
the total savings of these labOrers sent
abroad. Large amounts. of which there
are no records. are sent over through
Italian bankers. Immense sums In the
aggregate are carried over in person by
Immigrants who return 10 Italy late IN
the fall of each year At least 100000
Italians return 10 Italy each year for
the winter months because they find II
cheaper, healthier, and more satisfaC-
tory to return to Italy and spend the
winter months with their families.

THAT LURES IMMIGRANTS
Report of Bureau Shows Where Imported Labor Origin
ates-ItaanS Save More Money Than Any
Other c ass

In q report of the Bureau of Labor
Of the Department OF Commerce and
Labor, statistics concerning the immi-
grafton of foreigners into the United
states are made public. Italy. Austria
Hungary, and Slavic countries of east
ern Europe are at the present time said
to be the principal sources Of the I'M
cKilled labor supply of the United
States
More than two-thirds of all the immi-
grants now entering the United States
come from these countries. Italy sends
one-fourth, Austria-Hungary over two
hfths, and Slavic countries OF eastern
Europe something over two-ffths. The
latter group, the report states, include
the Jews from eastern Europe, who,
while not Slavs, economically and in
dCstrially represent the same classes.
High Wage Is Magnet.
The higher wages offered to the IN
skilled laborer in this country is
ascribed as the reason for the influx
of laborers. Most Of the immigrants in
the fatherland countries were farmers
or farr hands. but significant after ar
rival in this country is the fact that
few If any seek farm employment. In
transportation. manufacturing, mining,
and i'm building the demand for COM
mon lator has in a number Of Instances
exceeded the supply.
The Italian immigrant generally finds
employment on railroad construction,
tunnel building, grading, ditching,
building excavation. and work In fac
tory industry. The Slav and the Hun
garian turn 10 III ose Industries where

View Not Accepted.

The Government It is said. does not
accept this view. It considers rather
that the abrogation Of the contract was
a confession of guilt and there is strong
impression that this viii be the ground
for prosecution.
But in addition to all these matters
that have been made public in con-
nection with. the Hartman inquiry. il
is now said that the Government has
possession of a lot Of specific informa-
ton about Hartman deals and methods
which has never been hinted at in con-
neCtiOn with the inquiry. and which en-
ters fields heretofore untouched. THE
prosecution may relate some of these
things, not heretofore brought 20 public
attention.

HARRINAN'S POLICY
TO HAVE SITTING
The Government Practically
Ready for Prosecution of
Railroad Magnate.
discriminating Evidence Said
to Have Been Secured
for Prosecution.

Inc last preliminary to the announce
ment Of the Governments plan of cam
paign against Edward II. Hartman per-
sonaily and the Hartman combination
Of railroads has been accomplished. The
( ruling OF the New York circuit court
that Mr.. Hartman must answer Ques-
tons Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission about his financial operations
VIII be followed by the early issuance
from the Department Of Justice OF an
announcement of the course that is to
be pursued against the magnate.
It was given out some time ago that
soon after the beginning OF this year
the Attorney General would take the
public into his confidence as to further
steps to be taken IN the Hartman mat
ter. That a determined effort will be
made TO break up the Hartman comhln-
alton IS known. More than this, the
Government is going to try for
construction of the immunity statute
which VII enable It TO prosecute liar
Timan personally
VIII Not Be Immune.
Contrary to the geaeyIi opinion OF
lawyers and pubilcists, the legal de
partment Of the Government does not
believe that by answering all the ques-
lions the Interstate Commission has ad-
dressed 10 him, Mr.. Hartman viii gain
immunity from prosecution. II is point
ed out that while he will doubtless be
rendered secure from prosecution con-
corning the matters asked about. Their.
are others which the Government has
taken especial pains not to open up, and
concerning which, in fact. he has been
prevented from testifyinE, which IL Is
thought constitute a basis for effective
: prosecution When he was on the stand
some months 90 Mr.. Hartman under
took 10 volunteer some testimony about
some of these and was stopped The
commission would not allow him to talk
OF them. One matter considered TO con-
sutute basis for personal prosecution
!. IS the contract between Hartman and
former Senator William A. Clark OF
Montana, defining relations between the
southern Pacific and san Pedro. Los
Angeles and Salt Lake roads. The con-
tract in this case is in possession Of the
Government and Is regarded as a DeCuli-
airy rank violation Of the Sherman law.
The agreement was abrOgated immedi-
ately after IL had been made public
through the proceedings in the earlier
examination of Mr.. Hartman, and the
Union Pacific interests have insisted
that there was no excuse for prose
cutting because Of a contract no longer
IN force.
