BABY. HUNG BY ROPE OVER
CLIFF, STARvES TO DEATH.
Body Is Found Swinging on
Weehawken Palisade.

WEEHAWKEN, Nov. 5.-Taed to the
end OF a sixty-foot rope and swinging
from an almost perpendicular cliff OF
the Palisades, the body of a baby boy
was found. The child's identity has not
been discovered, nor tina Of the per-
son responsible for his death.
Claudius Rybinski, of III New YORK
avenue, Union Hill, found the body.
He was climbing the Palisades on his
way home, carrying several pieces OF
lumber. At a point opposite Bellevue
street he observed a rope dangling over
the cliff, which is a sheer declivity Of
$50 feet. 1t occurred to him that By
using the rope to tie his boards he
would make it easier to carry them.
Drawing it up he found a bundle OF
brown paper at the end. Removing the
paper he found a blue Bingham apron
inside of which was the body Of a male
infant. not more than three or four
days old. How long the body had been
hanging there is largely a matter OF
conjecture. Physicians who examined
the body expressed the opinion that the
baby was alive when let over the ctn
and died of exposure n starvation.

HONOR WOMAN LAWYER
FOR DEFEATING CANDIDATE.

TEANECK TOWNSHIP, Nov. o.
Miss Mary Coleman's active part in
the election of freeholder of this town,
inc her successful campaign against a
candidate who, she declared, was UNI
fit for the office, has aroused such en-
thusiasm in her favor among the
townspeople that they have arranged
to hold a reception in her honor on
November 20.
Miss Coleman is a New York lawyer,
whose vigorous tactics in the promo
ton of s~uffragist campaigns have made
her prominent. She lives in Harlem,
and when she heard that George A.
Sipp was a candidate for Freebooter
she declared that he was misleading
the people by running on a Republican
ticket. when he had been an enrolled
Democrat in Manhattan two years ago.
The women were so enthusiastic about
her that many declared they believed
she could convert them into suffragists,
al | they intend to ask her TO speak to
them on that topic after they heap
honors upon her at the reception, No

In spite of the annual and sometimes
more frequent occurrence OF circus day
the majority Of people Of Salt Lake
City are always ready TO welcome the
white tops and red wagons. The an
pouncement is now made that arrange
ments have been completed for the big
threering circus known as the Hagen
beck Wallace shows to exhibit here on
Monday, July 26. To the many who
have visited the Chicago and ST. Louis
World IS fairs the name Carl Hagenbeck
is familiar for the marvellous trained
wild beasts exhibitions. Nowhere have
these performances ever been dupli-
Gated. The combination Of the Carl
Hagenbcck trained wild animal show
with the great Wallace circus presents a
tented attraction that requires three
rings and two stages aside from the
huge steel-caged arena in which the
wild animal performances take place,
| There are people who really object
TO the coming OF a circus, especially
of one of this magnitude, because of

the champion riding experts Of Europe

introduction of q comedy element by

STRIKERS THREATEN,

PITTSBURG, July 17.-Despite the
assertion Of President f. n. Hoffstott
of the Pressed Steel Car company that
''there is no strike,'' the entire plant
of the company at McKee's Rocks re.
manned idle and under a state OF siege
today.
With the exception of the office force
and some 200 shop employees, most Of
them gang foremen without men, the
plant is entirely in the hands of an
armed force Of deputy .sheriffs, factory
police and mounted state constabulary
The strikers maintain sullen and
threatening attitude, but save a few
trivial disturbances the day passed
without serious violence
In proclamation issued tonight, the
strikers cite thirteen instances Of ac.
tual wages paid to worlsingmen under
the pooling system, which they claim
are illustrative Of the conditions ex-
isting at the McKee's s Rocks plant. In
one instance forty-five hours work
brought only 90 cents pay; in another
a riveter working 130 hours received
but $14.90. 1t is charged that in not
one Of the thirteen cases cited was
the average hour wage more than IL
cents.
