BOYCOTT ON MEAT
1000 Factory Hands Start Move
as Protest Against High
Cost of Living
IS effective FOR THIRTY DAYS
Cleveland Clubs ldea-Other Com
munities May Take Similar Action
-rest Of Packers Assertion that
Giuttony Makes Meat Expensive.

Cleveland, Jan. 1S.-Four hundred
and sixty superintendents and fore
men Of twenty-one of the largest man.
ufacturing concerns Of this city have
pledged themselves to aid in a gen.
eral boycott on meat for thirty days.
In addition to agreeing to do without
meat themselves, the superintendent
and foremen have promised to induce
as many as possible of the 1000 en-
ployees under them to dispense with
the food for the same period. II the
employees enter into the pact, approx
imately 10000 Clevelanders will alb.
stain from meat during the next
month.
The anti-meat action was taken at
q meeting of the Superintendent
and Foremen's Club, in which practi-
cally every manufacturing plant of the
city is represented. The idea of living
the vegetarian life for a period origi-
mated in the minds of few members
of the club while discussing high
priced food at dinner yesterday. Meat
being the most expensive portion
se"yed at dinner, the club members
decided not to eat meat that meal and
50 how they felt when the days work
was over Each of the abstainers was
no more fatigued than usual when
night came and it was then decided to
form a thirty day vegetarian club
arr ong workingmen. The pledge fol-
lows:
/. We, as wage-earners, are willing
to ssist both the state and the NUM-
CT lities in probing into the high cost
Of living, particularly the cost of
meats which Is prohibitive.
3. This agitation can best become
effective by refraining from eating
meat for a period of thirty days.
8. If this does not bring the price
of meat within the means Of poor peo-
pie, then we will refrain from eating
neat for sixty days.
a. We, citizens, do hereby ask our
representative in each councilmanic
district and the legislative bodies to
keep this agitation uppermost in their
minds and actions until the result
manifests itself.
8. We ask the cooperation of all
persons who are interested in fair play
and the future of our otherwise pros
porous country,
6. This self-denial to take effect

MISS De JANON IS
FOUND IN CHICAGO
Eloping Heiress and Cohen, the
Waiter, Arrested in a Cheap
Rooming House
POSED AS FATHER AND CHILD
DOG That the Girl Insisted on Taking
AIonq Leads to Arrest of Rich Phia-
dephian's Daughter and Man with
Whom She Fled.

Chicago, Jan 18.-Roberta de jan
on, the Philadelphia heiress, and her
friend and admirer, Frederic Cohen,
the Bellevue-Stratford waiter, with
whom she eloped on December 29,
were captured by the police here and
held awaiting the arrival of officers
from Philadelphia.
They had travelled for thousands
of miles jumping from city to city, in
the United States and Canada, in an
effort to elude the police and detec-
tives put on their trail by the sixteen
year-old girls wealthy grandfather.
The end came in a squalid boarding
house room at No. 6S Superior street,
on the North Side, where the couple
had been doing the lightest sort of
ginger cookie housekeeping.
Miss De Janon and Cohen were
practically at the end of their re-
sources. They reached Chicago from
Montreal and Halifax with but 81 go.
Cohen had pawned some of the girls
jewelry for a trifiing sum, but that
had been spent.
The girl had determined to end her
life. She had written to her grand
father expressing sorrow for running
away with Cohen and declaring her
intention to jump into the lake.
1t is not unlikely that Cohen, con-
vnced that his young companion was
desperate and determined to suicide,
let the tip reach the police that re-
suited in their capture. 1t came from
Mrs. Frank Perrin, who ran the room
ing house in which they had taken
quarters, and was acted on promptly.
According to Mrs. Perrin, the pair
We're living as father and daughter.
Both protested to the police that their
relations since leaving Philadelphia
had been that of father and daughter.
Cohen, himself, traced their route
from the day they eloped out of Phila-
delphia. They went first to New York
where they found difficulty in getting
rooms and after remaining over night
went to Montreal The news of the
elopement frightened them and they
went to st. John. New Brunswick,
where they took passage for England
on an English steamer.
Cohen said they left the steamer at
Halifax because the English officers
objected to carrying Tootse, Miss de
Janon's terrier, and the girl would not
go on without the dog.
They went from Halifax to Boston
and direct to Chicago. They attract
ed little attention when they first
went to the Superior street house, and
had since lived quietly.
When the police came to arrest
them, Cohen made an emphatic pro-
test, insisting that he was barber
from Montreal. He soon broke down.
however, and admitted his identity.
Miss de Janon. sobbing bitterly, plead
ed with the police to restore her TO
her grandfather.
In the girls possession the police
found one remarkable letter from
Cohen to the girl dated December Ia.
in which he begged to think twice be.
fore clipping with him.

For Three Months She Had Been
SpeechIess, After Baby's Fall.

Pittsburg, Jan. 18.-From trance
in which she had lain three months,

pital to-day. Physicians are puzzled.
Her husband on the night Of Sep
tenber 80 found her in comatose
state. Their baby lay on the floor,
apparently having fallen from bed.

have been shocked into unconscious

she must have thought the child was
killed. She had been frail, but in nor
NAL health, and had not spoken since
the incident.
