LABOR SAVING DEVICES
VARIETY OF THEM ON DISPLAY
AT THE ELECTRIC SHOW.
Machine That Eliminates the Strong
Arm Movement a the Washtub;
Other Things Also. :
Especial to The Free Press.1

Atlantic City, n. j., June 2.-Elec-
tricity in its application to labor-sav-
ing devices for tightening the burdens
of house keeping was never better il
Illustrated than at the exhibition which
was opened to the public today by the
National Electric Light association.
which is holding its thirty second con-
vention on Young's Pier. Hundreds of
people today visited the big show of
the men who are illuminating the
world, and were startled, If not shock
ed, at the great strides made in max
ing the electrical juice more useful.
Firstly, there is the electric washtub
and automatic laundress. All that the
housewife needs do when she has one
of these is to throw couple of bas-
kets of clothes in the hopper and then
90 to the theatre. When she comes
back the linen has been washed, dried
and pressed.
As yet it does not sew on buttons
nor darn socks 1t is new inven-
tion, and higher education takes time.
There is also patent cradle rocker,
which will rock the cradle for hours
while the mother takes rest. A man
from Chicago is exhibiting, dress
fitted with self adjusting buttons. They
are magnetized and all that is needed
is to form an electric circuit from the
top to the bottom of dress and it hooks
itself up
Mr.. ''Dick" Richards of Newburgh,
n. Y, is showing travelling icebox
and cellarette. This is a wonderful
affair. 1t is fitted with a photographic
switch, which is only adjusted, and
turns on the current when the owner
or man who has set the lock calls.
This starts the motor and the icebox
will travel through halls, open doors
and 90 up stairs. The sound of the
voice operates the steering apparatus.
There is also burglar trap worked
on photographic principles. The SEN
sitive plates will not work che alarm
at the sound of any of the family's
footsteps or their voices. When set,
however, strangers are grabbed by
iron arms and megraphone calls

REVOLT BY ACTRESSES
THEY REFUSE TO APPEAR BEFORE
TENT IN TIGHTS.
But They Have No Objections to the
Short Skirts Behind the
FOotlights.

Chicago, June ACTRESSES in the
various amusement parks revolted
against appearing in tights on the plat
form in front of the places where they
are employed to attract attention and
draw crowds (ballyhooing is the tech
meal term. They assert they are
used, not as artists, but as advertise
ments.
Il don't mind wearing tights behind
the footlights, but it's shame to have
to appear outside and caper like a
clown in front of a cheap circus to
draw crowd" said one of the girls
at special meeting of the Vaudeville
Actors union yesterday afternoon. 81
protested against it and the manager
fired me. We have come here to join
the union and ask it's protection. We're
not going to be used for advertise
ments in that way"

SHUT BEHIND BARS.
VICE PRESIDENT OF COPPER COM
PANY INCARCERATED
Until Books Are Produced; Official of
Jail; Sanford Robinson, Prominent
Director of Company, May Also Be
Sent to Prison By Judge Lacombe
of New York.

New York, June George Baglin,
vice president of the United Copper
company, was taken to the Tombs
prison and must remain there under
an order of Judge Lacombe of the
United States district court until the
missing books of the company which
contain the evidence upon which the
federal district attorney seeks the
conviction of F. Augustus Heinze are
produced. A similar punishment also
hangs over Sanford Robinson, a prom.
inent director of the company, whose
case will be further considered by
Judge Lacombe.
Both men are alleged to have per.
mitted the spiriting away of the books
that were under subpoena. Baglin
testified before the grand jury that he
had overheard Robinson and one of
the HeinZe brothers conspiring to re-
move the books and had interposed no
objection.
Nothing remains for me to do but

or an employee cannot so act with i'm.

Baglin was visibly affected by the
sentence of the court. He was al.
lowed to communicate with his wife
and lawyer before he was led to the
Tombs.
Robinson's case was then taken up
1t was shown that ne had refused to
testify before the grand jury regard
ing his alleged conversation with one
of the Heinze brothers, maintaining
that he and Heinze were attorneys
for the company and that their con.
versation was privileged.
Judge Lacombe declined to accept
this plea. Members of the bar said
he, who chose to become officers or
directors of corporations and who are
accused as directors of conspiring to
violate the law, cannot evade the
challenge by claiming to be members
of the bar If the minutes of the
grand jury show that the situation is

CUT OUT THE SALOONS
STATE FACTORY INSPECTORS NOT
OBLIGED TO VISIT THEM.
Bows Would Take Drink lust to Be
Sociable and Do the Good
Fellow Stunt.

st. Paul. June 2-No more visits to
saloons for the state factory iDspec-
tors, that is, in the line of duty-ac-
cording to the order given by Labor
Commissioner W. i. McEwen The
commissioner started new deal last
winter when he directed his staff to
make inspection trips to the saloons
in their territory for the purpose of
labor statistics. Up to that time in
spectors confined their attentions to fac
tories and stores. Mr. McEwen directed
them to get facts as to the wages and
hours of labor of hartenders, to be
used in their general reports.
The new order Dies not mean that
the primrose path spelled disaster for
the inspectors. However, in the in
terests of efficiency, Mr.. McEwen de-
cided that factory and saloon inspec-
tion would no mix.
"The inspectors were supposed to
make each saloon in the towns they
covered" said Mr.. McEwen today.
"They would stop long enough to get
the facts about the bartenders and
their wages and their hours of work
Then they would take drink just to
be sociable. Then they would 90 into
some factory or store, and would talk
to managers or employees with the evil
dence of liquor on the breath, and it
was not good for the service. | have cut
out the saloon inspection for the pres
ent, but it is properly a part of the
work of this department, and it will
be taken up later by itself"

WILL WORK NIGHTS
SENATE TO PUT IN LONGER HOURS
ON THE TARIFF BILL.
Cotton Cloth Schedule; Subject of
Speeches by Senators Smoot and
Lodge; Man From Utah Makes a
Technical Presentation of Subject;
Senator DOlliver and Senator Aid
rich Have a Brief Alteration.

Washington, June 2.-After in eff
feet receiving Information from
Chairman Aldrich that beginning with
tonight it would be expected to hold
night sessions for the consideration
of the tariff bill, tho senate began
consideration of the cotton cloth
schedule. This portion had been
passed over upon the first reading
with the understanding that many
amendments to it would be offered
and that much time would be neces-
sary for its discussion. The first day
did not fall short of justification of
this superstition.
There were not many speeches, but
those made were of considerable
length. Senators Smoot and Lodge,
both majority members of the finance
committee, were the principal orators
and both spoke in support of the COM
mittee provisions. The Utah senator
entered upon a technical presentation
of the entire subject, reaching the
conclusion that the senate bill does
not, in reality, increase the duties
contemplated by the Dingley law. He
undertook, however, to show that by
the various rulings of the customs
authorities these duties had been re-
duced to the extent of an average or
20 per cent. 1t was the purpose OF
the committee to carry into effect the
existing law He declared that the
committee had been Influenced by
neither the manufacturers nor the i'm.
porters.
Senator Lodge gave especial atten-
ton to the cotton schedule, but in
cidentally spoke of the general policy
of the Republican party with refer
ence to the subject of tariff revision.
He contended that there had been no
intention of revising the tariff down
ward, but that the purpose of the
party had been merely so to revise
the tariff as to protect American
manufacturers against cheap foreign
labor. He declared that New England
factories were returning only small
dividends to their owners and traced
the general increase in the prices of
commodities to the enlarged volume
of gold in the country, rather than to
the advantages accruing from the pro-
tective system.

SHORT OF PHYSICIANS
HEALTH DEPART
MENT IN STRAITS.
Plumbers Vaccinate Young and Old
and Perform Other Duties Not
in Their Line.

Minneapolis, June $50 great does
the city health department need physi-
clans that sanitary inspectors and
plumbing inspectors and other employees
of the office are assigned to vaccinate
children and adults and visit sick peo-
pie who are suspected of having con-
tagious diseases, preparatory to calling
the city ambulance for their removal
to the city hospital or the isolation
hospital
There is but one city ambulance
stationed at the isolation hospital; this
vehicle, it is said, is not always prop
erly fumigated after handling pa
tient. Those who have investigated do
not blame tine health department Off
Gals, but attribute the situation to
the lack of staff physicians. DIR. P.
NJ. Hall, health commissioner, has but
four physicians to assist him.
Herman Brown, chief sanitary in
spector. often is called upon to vacci-
nate children and adults, though the
children are far more numerous. He
also cares for smallpox cases until the
arrival of the ambulance Often when
no one else is in the office he is COM
PEELED to answer hurry-up calls for a
physician in cases where contagious
diseases are suspected If he finds the
report has no foundation, he calls for a
city physician before asking for the
ambulance. In doing this he is compelled
at times to neglect his own branch of
the work. Mr.. Brown has been in the
office so long that DIR. Hall looks upon
him almost as an expert. j. HI. Lyle,
assistant sanitary inspector, does most
of the vaccinating when the applicants
go to the office. He mas vaccinated
thousands.
Plumbing Inspector John Mullane is
gaining medical experience. Yesterday
he investigated case at the Wilbur
house, First street near Hennepin ave-
nue.. He pronounced it measles, and
called the city ambulance. Today he
was forced to neglect some of his
plumbing inspection to fumigate a
schoolroom in which there had been a
case of diphtheria.
Members of the office say that the
trip from the isolation hospital to the
city center is so long that frequently
the ambulance after handling a small
pox case is not properly fumigated
but goes on another run and brings in
a diphtheria patient. An ambulance sta
ton at the city hospital is said to be
the solution of this difficulty.

Will REFORM SALOONS
BREWERS OF THE COUNTRY ARE
MEETING AT ATLANTIC CITY.
One Member of Association Finds Pro-
hibition Has Been Followed BY
Financial Disaster.
Especial to The Free Press.l

Atlantic City, n. j., June 2.-There
will be decided reforms in the con-
duct of the liquor business in this
"drys," if the United States Brewers
association has its way. Members of
the association representing about IS
per cent. of the beer business of the
country are in attendance at the an
nual meeting in this city.
One of the most interesting reports
before the convention is that of Colonel
Jacob Rupert, Jr., who recently made
tour of investigation through the pro-
hibition states of the south and west
Commenting on the result of his OBJ
servations, he said:
Il found that the spread of prohibi.
ton tendencies In the west and south
is illconsidered and hasty. Disastrous
results, economical and moral have
followed in its wake.
NO doubt in the west and south, as
elsewhere, there are Objectionable
breaking, disorderly saloons and
hotels. These places could have been
exterminated by the enforcement OF
existing law or by public opinion
strongly asserted, instead of restricting
the liberty of entire communities.
Public morality was not improved
What | especially noticed in these dry
states was the inordinate drinking OF
liquors in the homes.
81 am satisfied that a reaction is set
ting in against the prohibition craze
A public session will be held this
evening, at which one of the speaker:
will be the Rev. DIR. John p. Peters
rector of ST. Michael's Protestant Epis
copal church in New York, and chair
man of the committee of fourteen
which was organized for the suppress
sion of the Raines law hotels. This
committee has invited the cooperation
of the brewing trade.
