GAS
INSPECTORS BUSY
IN LOCAL HOMES
Get Into POIiceman's Residence,
but Leave Without Any
Booty.

Two ~well-dressed young men. upon
whose trail detectives from the Fifth
Precinct had already camped, intro
duced themselves TO Mrs. Thomas c.
Gaynor. wife of Policeman Gaynor, of
the Fifth Precinct, last night, as gas
inspectors and were admitted to the
house at p North Thirteenth street.
While the men were conducting the
examination of the gas range in the
kitchen and casting eyes about the
house the policeman was sleeping
peacefully upstairs.
A little while before the same two
strangers had stopped at the house of
Mrs. George Enderlin, at 2 North Ninth
street. They looked 80 little like i'm
posters that they easily obtained adj
mission. When she had time to think
it over Mrs. James Bruce, Mrs. Ender-
Inns mother, who had admitted the
men, became nervous and called in a
neighbor. The visitors left hurriedly.
Mrs. Bruce telephoned the Fifth Pre-
cinct Station and Captain Long sent
Pla~inclothesmen Conlon and McCabe
out after the gas men.
Another message to the headquarters
of the Public Service Corporation con-
irmed the suspicion that the ''inspec-
tors were impostors.

STILL
DETERMINED TO
KEEP UP STRIKE
Report Made to Essex Trades
Council that Fight Will
Be Continued.

1t was announced at the meeting OF
The Essex Trades Council last might
that the union matters who are fighting
for the recognition of their label. al
though not receiving the financial sup
port from other labor o~rganizat ons
that they expected. yet they were just
as determined as ever to remain out
Delegate John Lang. of Hat Finish
ers' Union No. II, made this ANNOUNCE
ment, and he added that while the
fight for the recognition of the unien
emblem had been going on now fer
sixteen weeks, yet there were less than
twenty deserters from the unions. not
w~ithstanding the fact that the men
were only receiving a few dollars q
week benefits.
The council Endorsed the plan to
have the city erect a $4,000 public
bathhouse in Clayton street. which is
in the heart of the congested par Of
the "Hill.'
1t was said that from Investigations
made by labor men this city had the
poorest lot of lighthouses in the eoun-
try, as the only one that was Mt for
such purposes was the one in Summer
avenue, yet it would require a large
sum of money to make it meet The
demands that it was built for.

GROUNDS
OPEN FOR USE
OF SCHOOL BOYS
Athletic Fields in Public Parks
Are Being Occupied by
Youngsters Today.

The athletic fields of the public
parks were opened today with practi-
cally every field engaged for every our
of the day. The turf. after a week Of
fair weather, is in fine condition. and
the crowds of boys that are ~thronging
the parks bear testimony to the good
work of the park board in having the
grounds ready for the first fair weather.
All next week the fields are engaged
to the limit, and as Secretary Alonzo
Church believes in the principle of
FIRST come, first served" those wishing
to get a date in any park in the near
future had best hurry with their appli-
cations. The tennis courts, as well as
the baseball fields are eagerly sought
after, and are in equally good condi-
ton. In the West Side ark new ten
mis- courts have beer added, and a rush
of applications has been received from
that quarter.
Last wear the weather was much
more rainy than this year, delaying the
opening of III parks till a little after
the middle of the month. While last
weeks poor weather held back the sea-
sons opening a week, the opening Is
still a full week ahead of last years
time.
On Monday the regular schedule OF
the Public Schools Baseball League win
go into effect. and the rival teams will
begin batting away for the STARS
trophies.

365-POUND BOY
WONDER NABBED
BY De S'C|ETY'

Because he was working without pa
pers and thus violating h child la1or
law, 14-year-old Harry Eggert, of AZ
Rutgers street Newark, was picked up
in Brooklyn by officers of the Children's
Society and arraigned in the Children's
Court.
Posing as the boy wonder Harry
was found exhibiting himself in a store
window. As he weighs 1855 pounds, this
claim is perhaps a modest one. The
elder Eggert told Judge Wilkin that
Harry had never attended a public
school, as none of the principals would
permit it. fearing that in the event of
fire he might get stuck in the door and
thus cause general loss of life.
When he was a year old he weighed
IS pounds said the parent, and 21o
pounds when he was 10 ear old"
Judge Wilkiu sent the boy to the
Children's Society oonls and adjourned
the case until Wednesday.

BUSINESS BOON,
BUT FACTORIES
NEED W0RKMEN

Owing to the rush of work in many
of the shops and factories during the
last few weeks, there has been a
scarcity of mechanics. This is true in
the brass foundries. as the mechanics in
that trade are at a premium at present.
A member of one local firm went to
New York yesterday to try to secure a
half dozen men, but he could get only
two.
The majority of the brass firms,
owing to the demand for that line of
goods. are unable to keep up with their
work, and several of them are offering
more than the regular wages to get
more mechanics. In addition to the in
crease of wages. they offer to pay
wages for any time the men might be
forced to lose through illness or holi-
days; but even at that they cannot get
the workmen.
II Is expected that before the sum-
mer is on that all of the shops and
factories will nave TO run overtime in
order to supply the demand for all
kinds of goods.
