The long arm Of the United States gov
eminent has hit John Early OF Brooklyn
who formerly served in the army, another
blow. A little over a year ago, one branch
of the government, the health board OF the
District Of Columbia, declared him a
leper and locked him up In a peculiar
sort of quarantine, telling him to fend
for himself. but not letting him work at
anything. Then, another branch, the
pension department, confirmed the d.
aRnosIs of the health board, on the state

for his disability. This pension was paid
every three months.
Early received his last allowance from
the pension department on June T. He

tong fight, and allowed to come to New
York. He hired a half OF a two-family
house in a Brooklyn suburb at $50 per
month rent, and started another nght 10

since II is customary for the department
20 give its pensioners thirty days notice
OF the stopping OF u pension. Last week
he received a notice that he would not get
a cent from the pension department. This
laves him absolutely destitute.

he applied for work, he was turned away

EDISoNS CEMENT HOUSE PLAN
New York Contractor Knocking the
Project of the Noted
Inventor.

Thomas A. Edison has incurred the dis
pleasure OF the New York contractors
through his plan to build cement houses
while you wait. Mr.. Edison says he will
demonstrate when his arrangement are
complete. that a concrete house now cost
ing $500 and requiring several months
TO build can be constructed in six hours
for a matter Of $3.50. The contractors say
they have no faith in Mr.. Edlson's idea,
and Mr.. Edison says they couldn't be eX-
pected to have, as they do not know how
he Is going to prepare his cement, He re-
calls the fact that Wall street took no
stock In his electric trolley scheme,
Thomas A. Edison has accomplished
many wonderful things and there is no
reason TO believe that he is chimericsl or
insincere when he says he will prove that
his idea is practical; that concrete houses
may be poured" at a cpst that II nominal
as compared with the present expense OF
construction and that the time required
for their completion may be reckoned in
hours instead OF in days. weeks or months.
He believes that the art OF moulding con-
crete will in the near future be reduced
to the science Of perfection and economy.
Within twenty or thirty years the poor,
he declares, will be able TO enjoy houses
more beautiful than the rich now aspire
to. and the man earning $50 a day, with
a family to support, will be better housed
than the man OF today who is earning $40
Should Mr.. Edison's predictions come
true the tenement house problem will settle
itself. When building is reduced to so ex'
