PARK THEATRE ATTRACTIONS

Throughout the country perhaps the
most popular of the younger Ameri-
can actors is Mr.. Arthur Byron. In
Thy Neighbours Wife" Mr. Byron
has one of the most congenial parts
of his entire brilliant career. The
role of a young, neglected, hard-work-
ing, home-loving husband, whose wife
can appreciate nothing but finery and
frivolity, would ordinarily appeal to
the better sentiment Of any commun-
ity, but with the added attraction OF
an impersonation at the hands of Mr..
Arthur Byron, whose friends and adj
mirers here are legion, there can be
no doubt that ''Thy Neighbor's Wife
will prove a memorable evenings en-
tertainment. On September 9Th, Mr.
Frohman will open his season in New
York at the Lyceum Theatre with this
play, with the same cast and with the
identical setting. '@Thy Neighbor's
Wife, will be seen at the Park Thea
tire next Wednesday night.
Mr.. Al Rich offers the big burles-
que musical success ''The Honeymoon
Girls with the Otto Bros. ''The
Honeymoon Girls will be the attrac-
ton at the Park Theatre next Thurs
day Friday and Saturday with Fri
day and Saturday matinee. Miss Alice
Lazar, prima donna with "The Honey
moon Girls has always been a Broad
way favorite. and no big musical sue
cess On the Great White Way was
complete without Miss Alice LaZar
in the cast; gifted with an excellent
singing voice, a well rounded figure
and sweet face, she wins an audience
at the start. Added to these favorable
accomplishments, she is a clever come
dienne. and although still d young
star, she has made a name for herself
from coast to coast. Her role gives
her excellent opportunities to display
her talents, and in stage parlance she
more than makes good" ''The Hon
eymoon Girls is an up-to-date must
cal extravaganza, full of dash good
music and brisk dialogues. A large
company is employed, and a bevy of
real singing and dancing girls.

REFUSAL OF OFFICIALS
TO TREAT WITH UNIONS
NAY BRING STRIKE soon

Chicago, Aug. 26-Radical action,
with a decided probability Of gen.
eral strike order, is expected to follow
the meeting. Monday in Kansas City,
of the presidents of the five unions OF
shop craft employees of the Hartman
lines. following the refusal of Presi-
dent Lovett and vice-President Krutt-
schnitt to streat with the federated
unions.
The railroad officers. today, ex-
pressed the belief that they could sue
cessfully combat such a strike at this
time while the union leaders are just
as insistent that if the strike order
was given they could tie up the en-
tire system inside of three days.
A strike of the system federation
on the Hartman lines. in all proba-
bility, would be followed by strikes on
other roads, notably the Illinois Cen
trail, where strike vote already has
been taken and the strike call only
awaits the action of the union presi-
dents.
Reports received here, today, from
the officers of the unions in the far
west indicate that the men are grow
ing restless under restraint and may
ing for a strike order from the various
international presidents.
Union leaders declared today, the
action of President Lovett and Vice.
President Kruttschnitt, in refusing to
deal with the system federation instead
of with the individual unions, has p1ac-
ed the responsibility for eventualities
upon the shoulders Of the railroad
heads
According to these leaders, the sue
cess Of the general strike movements
abroad, especially in England has in
spired the union men of this country.
vice-President Kruttschnitt has
agreed to meet the international pres
idents on his hurried western trip. but
has intimated that, while he is still
willing to treat with the heads of the
individual unions, he will never recog-
nize them as representatives of the
system federation. The following in
ternationa1 presidents will meet him:
J. ". Kline, of the blacksmiths, Mi
chaeI O'Sullivan of the sheet metal
workers; ]. A. Franklin of the boiler
makers; r. M. Ryan of the car work.
ers and a representative Of James
O'Connell, of the machinists. These
men will represent 25,0 shopcraft en-
ployes of the Hartman lines.

AN INDUSTRY OF
ITINERANT WORKERS
Lead Poisoning in Thirty Trades Pay Day Means
Hiring New Force Discharging' Men
Every Ninety Days AS Kindness
JAMES p. HEATON
Exclusive Service The Survey Press Bureau)

Why do some of the lead smelling
plants lose a quarter and sometimes
almost half of their working force
each pay day? The foremen often
say it is because the men employed
are negroes or Slovaks or Pollocks or
Greeks Or italians and by nature un-
steady and given to drink. But the
men and physicians declare it is due
to the dangerous character of the
work
There is white lead factory with a
payroll of only eighty which is obIig-
ed to hire 400 men yearly, while a
larger one employing 143 workers takes
months. What explains this differ
ence? The factories are near each
other and both employ negroes The
claims of the men are borne out for
the only difference is that in the one
they are taken care of and in the
other they are not. One red lead fac
tory discharges automatically all Ia
borers at the end Of three months en-
ployment in order to prevent the more
serious forms Of plumbism. This very
shifting increases lead-poisoning fol
the casual laborer is ignorant Of the
precautions necessary.
Cases of lead poisoning have been
round In some thirty different indus
tries, though they are more common
in lead smelling, the making of white
lead, Htho- transfer work, dry color
work, and the making Of storage bat
teries. The painting trade yields the
largest number of victims This is
because 1t is numerically the largest
Of the lead trades for there is not
much acute lead poisoning in proper
ton to the workers as in the other
industries mentioned. Painters tell us
that a man rarely develops symptoms
under five years experience while one
worker on storage. batteries was yio-
lently i'll at the end of ten days. Ac-
cording to physicians, many men are
taken with serious symptoms after six
weeks exposure in lead smelling or
white lead works.
Lead poisoning in extreme cases
leads to paralysis, insanity or death,
often when the victim had apparently
entirely recovered from the initial at
tack. After a period in which the pa
tient has had a poor appetite, a gen.
era1 feeling Of ilI-health, foul breath,
a bad taste in the mouth, and obstin-
ate constipation, the attack itself.
consisting of paroxysms of agonizing
collie, with. vomiting and constipation,
follows. This is accompanied by great
restlessness, but no fever. If the man
goes back to his work after recover
ing he has repeated attacks. He is
extremely pale, suffers from consti-

Plea For More
Practical Education
Of Farmers Boys
Especial from United Press


Bristol, Aug 26-The plea for q
more practical education Of farmers
boys delivefed by National Lecturer
Oliver Wilson, of Peoria, Ills. before
the assembled members Of the Pom
ona oranges of Connecticut, yester-
day, was interpreted today, as the
structure of the National Grange on
present day methods of education.
1.-The great public school system"
said Wilson, '1s not doing what ~
should for the farmer boys and girls.
The schools are giving them but very
little education that will prove prac-
teal. 1 am not opposed to the sys~
tenn but the colleges do more to make
the boys shine before society thar
to make them practical.
1.-THE present educational system
teaches many things that have to be
unlearned later. In Georgia, they
teach what mariner might need
but of no use to the farmer.
at is not necessary to understand
Greek and the dead languages to I'M
derstand English as some claim. Il
a boy expects to be a farmer let him
be an intelligent farmer.
LET him be taught botany and
chemistry and etymology as these SCI
ences directly concern his business.
Let him be taught about Transports
ton and foreign markets and possibly
about the manipulations of the boards
of trades and chambers Of commerce.

Alexander Wargo, who has been
sleeping in barns and lots for four
months, was given a bath at the
county Jail yesterday and brought
back to the city court today to an
swer to the charge of vagrancy The

Wargo admitted that he had worked

PAYS FINE TRIBUTE
TO JUDGE HOsMER
His Loss To the Bench Would Be
Almost Irreparable" Declares
Judge Murfn.

For a man In my position to take
an active part In the approaching
judicial election would be obviously
improper" said Judge Murfin, of the
Wayne circuit court, Tuesday. How
ever. situation exists, which, / be-
iieve, renders a public statement from
me desirable In the interests Of good
citizenship.
Among the candidates on both tick
cts are many splendid men, but each
OF them will admit the pre-eminent
qualifcations OF Judge Hosmer. His
high rank as jurist Is due to many
things. He is well educated, a splen-
did scholar, and most democratic In
his tastes and temperament; he Is
kindly and accommodating; he Is fear
less; he is a hard worker, and q
student OF the law. Together with
these natural qualifications, his many
years Of judicial experience have given
him precedent which il invaluable to
the community, and Is frequently used
by the other judges.
Judge Hosmer does not know
enough about politics to make, what is
known, as q campaign. Because he
Is member OF the minority party,
the good citizenship OF the commun-
ity must take an interest In his well
fare IL the county Is to be given the
benent OF his services for the next
six years, and In my opinion his loss
to the bench would be almost ire
parable"

UNBEL|EF AND
DOUBT DIFFER
Bishop Berry Warns Against Danger
of Stepping From Latter To Black
Abyss" Of Former,

MAN 10 an inquisitive animal, and
most normal when asking questions
Bishop Joseph Berry, OF Buffalo. told
a large audience. Tuesday noon, in
the Detroit opera house, in the course
OF the MONDAY Lenten service. The
bishop was talking on Doubt and
its cure"
From the cradle to old age, human
beings are walking interrogation
marks, with the phrase 4 want to
know constantly on the lips" said
the bishop. There Is a difference be-
tween doubt and unbelief. Doubt is
wondering and reaching out and
wanting to know. Unbelief Is shutting
ones mind and soul against argument
and persuasion and denying the exist
ence of both material and spiritual
things. In this day there Is great
danger OF stepping over the line of
doubt into the black abyss Of unbe-
lief. Beware! beware! beware! There
is no subtler temptation abroad in
the land than the doubt of Jesus
deity. John, In prison, doubted It,
but what did he do? He sent to Jesus
TO know, and Jesus answered with
miracles. When We are assailed with
similar unbelief, the answer is to go
TO Jesus, too, and ask Him to speak
TO us. Reach up in these Lenten days
OF commemoration OF our Lords pas
sion, and ask Him to speak to you.
Walk with God these forty days and
learn TO know Him."
Bishop Charles ID. Williams, of the
Episcopal diocese, presided and led in
prayer. There was large audience
and rapt attention was given Bishop
Berry in his brief but earnest talk.
