CHILDREN RULE THEMSELVES
Little Actors in 1.-THE Blue Bird
Have Committee of Arbitration.

Small folk. particularly when any huih-
her of them are gathered together day after
lday. are bound 10 have their little differ
ences. and the fifty children appearing IN
"The Blue Bird at The New Theatre are
no exception 10 the rule They are, indeed,
a particularly lively set, averaging in age
around nine years, and their froiics are
likely TO lead them into difficulties.
For some time, however, Director Ames
has been mystifed by the seeming harmony
I'm which the youngsters live. The mystery
was explained yesterday, wnen by accident
liz was discovered that the children, acting
on their own initiative, have for several
weeks been governed by an elective COM
mittee which decides by arbitration all per-
picking questions.
When rehearsals were first called small
boy and his sister became embrOiled in a
quarrel. and the other children felt that if
these incidents were to occur often their
places would be jeopardized. They took
counsel among themselves and agreed 70
decide the rights and wrongs of all ques-
tons which might come up. 1t was agreed
after much debate that a chairman, vice
chairman and a committee of three should
be chosen, and that a new election should
be held each week. When any child has
grievance she takes the matter to the chair
man. who refers it to the committee.

ASK FOR LABOR'S SUPPORT
New Party Acts Thursday on
Bids for It's Endorsement.

meeting of the general committee or
the Federated Labor party, which was
formed two months ago by members OF the
labor unions of this city for the purpose OF
supporting candidates for political offices
known TO be friendly to labor, was held
Yesterday to consider the names of candi-
dates Of the Republican and Democratic
rarties who asked for it's Endorsement 1t
was decided TO issue a call for a convention
Of the party on Thursday evening at Bre-
WORT Hall. No. 1856 East 54th street, to
take UP the question of indorsing candt-
dates without reference to party who have
gone on record or are willing to pledge
themselves as in favor of measures in the
interest of organized labor.
The leaders of the party say that after
the present campaign a movement will be
started to form branches in other cities,
the object being to make tne party a ma
tional one by 1912. The question of in
creasing the membership until II can see
its way to nominate national and state
tickets of its own depends on the support
received between now and 1912 by the
unions
A joint statement was issued yesterday
evening by James II. Hatch, president, and
Edward l. Hannah. secretary-treasurer of
the new party, in which they say:
The convention on Thursday night will
carefully consider all candidates who are
looking for the support Of the workngmen
and will indOrse only those who 1t believes
will serve the best interests of the work
ing people of this state. Many candidates
have presented their names to us for in
dorsement."

months Dick is one of the parrots in the
Central Park menagerie, and IS, according
to Donald Burns. keeper of the aviary,
more than n hundred years old. He is in

THAT bird is what you might call an

in one family for nearly hundred years
before he was presented to the menagerie."
In all his lifetime Dick according to
his keeper has never used any unparlia-
mentary language. In the last few months
he hasn't even said anything, and Burns
had begun to believe that he was getting
in his dotage. Castro. however. has one
or two words at his command which show
that he served a nautical apprenticeship.
Parrots live much longer than hun

gun to believe that Dicks talking days
were over until the other morning when /

to me, and since then he has been chuck

VENGEANCE ON BRADLEY
Subway Builder Thought To Be
Under Black Hand Ban.
MANY FIRES AT BIG FARM
Hundreds of Italian Laborers
Were Recently Discharged
From Jersey Estate.
fBy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

SomerviIIe N j. Oct ia fire which
DESTROYED early to-day a hay barn and its
contents. valued at $4,000. on the estate OF
William Bradley. the New York subway
contractor. near here. has led the authori-
ties to believe that Mr.. Bradley is under
the ban of the Black Hand
In the last three years Mr. Bradley has
acquired an estate of thirty-ive hundred
acres in the Raritan Valley and has es-
tabIished one of the most extensive and
costly farms for the breeding Of trOtting
stock to be found in America. Labor
troubles on the estate in the last year have
been frequent. Hundreds Of Italians who
we're employed to carry on the vast i'm
movements on the farm were discharged
bv Mr. Bradley some months ago because
they insisted on being supplied with beer
while at work and had become indOIent.
A number of negroes were brought here
from the South TO take the places of the
Italians most of whom lived at Raritan.
about one mile from the farm, and numer-
Gus dcpradations have since been commit
ted on the estate.
To-day's fire is the third that has oc-
CURED on the place in a short time "A Few
weeks ago incendiaries set fire to num-
Der of barns in a distant part of the estate,
all or which were totally ueStiOScN WIZ"
their valuable contents. Mr.. Bradley has
established a complete fire department on
his farm. consisting of a $4,000 fire engine.
trained fire horses and full equipment Oh
men. The fire apparatus is stationed near
the main buildings.
The fncendiaries start fires In Isolated
parts of the estate. where the buildings are
likely to burn before they can be reached
by the firemen. AS the estate covers sew
eral miles Of territory. il is Impossible 10
guard IL at all hours of the night.
The cIeverness with which incendiarism
and murder have been committed on the
Bradley estate in the last few months has
completely baf1ed the local authorities.
Several months ago Joseph Trovato. an
Italian who had made it a practice to fish
along the streams running through Mr.
BradIey's farm at night. and who. II Is
rumored. was under suspicion by his fellow
countrymen as an informer, was shot In the
hack of the head at close range and in
stantIy killed as he sat on the river bank,
with fishing rod in hand
Jrp to the present time the authorities
have been unable TO obtain the slightest
cIew TO Trovato's assassination or the per
petrators of any of the long list of depreda-
tfons on the Bradley estate, although ex-
perenced detectives are at work on the
case.
