 In addition to all this, and at no ex- tra cost the famous Shriner band will be on hand-unless they are mobbed De- fore they get to the theatre-and will render their famous diabolical perpetra- tion, The Dance of the Seven Wails." This band, once upon a time. competed for $7O0 prize. The other fellows got the s7OO; they got seven months, and the consensus of opinion was that it ought to have been seven years.
 For the benefit of the patrons of the circus 1t Is only proper to say that the reserve police force, under the command of Chief Bodeker, will be on hand to quell any riot that may arise.

A National Drama

Let us have as fast as we can national drama in America" she said but let us have 1t presented by mature men and women with their powers trained, with their outlook on life moralized, and then let us meet 1t from the side of the audience with a demand that 1t shall be sustained. that 1t shall be worthy of our national life, and that 1t shall not be degraded and put before us prematurely, and that the young shall not be exploited that we may have Roman holiday"
 Miss Florence Kelley the next speak CT, was presented to the audience as The Mother of the National Child La Dor Movement" She delivered a strong address against the exploitation of children for the purposes of the stage and urged that we give up drama rath- CT than sacrifice one little human life.

Not For Arts Sake

T believe very much in the dramatic art as an epitome of life,' said Miss Addams, but I believe that the child should be prepared for the art Why is it that the stage proprietor demands that the child appear prematurely? There are two reasons. First, the child appeals to the audience, because there Is a genuine ness in it's acting, a touch of nature. Its actions are really only immitative but 1t succeeds in crossing over the foot lights and It's simplicity and unaffected ness touch tho audience. Second, the child itself has certain sense of en- joyment. But this sense soon becomes deadened with the monotonous repetition attendant to the life like that in the fac tory. where no skill is required. The child is not inducted into new parts. and is not being developed into an artist

Miss Addams Speaks

The next speaker was Miss Jane Ad- dams. whom MT. Wolff introduced as "a woman of whom l am free to say there are but few households in our country m which her name Is not known" He said that the service she had rendered the American people during her g years spent at Hull House was of more consequence than that rendered by any statesman in the halls of Congress.
 Mss Addams began her address by saying that she wished to back up" the statements of Miss Gordon with a few of the incidents in her owl. experience. She made an emphatic protest against the employment of children on the stage
 There are plays,' she said, whose companies, consisting of children, have been organized in New York and later sent to Chicago to exhibit, but when these plays reach Chicago the child is thrown out of commission" She ex- plained to what extent the child labor laws in Illinois operated, saying that the children under 16 years of age were pro- hibted from doing any kind of work at night between the hours of D. m. and a. m. She went on to tell of how the ohild-actors had been excluded from ap bearing in Peter Fan formerly when that play with Miss Maude Adams in the leading role was presented in Chi eago. The inspector had served notice on the stage managers that they would be brought to court and fined If the children were allowed to appear, and consequently a substitution of small size actors was made for the childrens parts with the eff feet that they were more intelligently ln- terpreted

The seventh annual conference on child labor. under the auspices of the national committee, which is thought by it's lead CTS to have been the most successful in the history of the movement, was brought to an end with it's fifth session, held last night at the Orpheum theatre. The feature of the evening was an address by Miss Jane Addams of Hull House, Chicago directed against child labor on the stage; and the presentation to her by the Greeks of Birmingham of low ing cup as a token of their appreciation for her efforts in behalf of their race.
 Solomon Wolff of New Orleans pre- sided over the meeting last night, and following a few remarks relating to the movement, introduced as the first speak CT of the evening Miss Jean Gordon of New Orleans, saying: If after the an cient customs she were named in accord- ance with her personal attributes, she would be called Afraid of No One v
 The address of Miss Gordon was main ly a recital of the conditions she has met with in her work among the theatres of New Orleans. She spoke without re- serve especially of the baneful results to young girls employed on the vaudeville stage, and in the nickle theatres.
 Moving Picture Shows
 q want to distinctly impress you, she said. with the fact that l am not opposed to the moving picture theatre but I am opposed to its making utility of the girls of tender years. In all my work among the theatres of New Or leans, did not find among the girls that were employed on the stage any talent whatsoever. They were merely such girls as were used because of their physical attractiveness and because they could kick about"
 Miss Gordon took strong stand against 6hs formidable argument of the devotees of the stage that the employment of children in dramatic presentations Is a way of discovering talent. She said, in Aepicting the moral degradation into which the stage life leads young girls, s'The side door of the theatre and the nickle theatre are the greatest places in the world for the white slave trafficker.' The enslavement of 6o.oo0 young woman goes on every year in this way.
 Morals of the Young
 'The state has said that no woman un- der 21 years of age shall have control of her money, and you have denied wom- an the right to vote; yet you put inro the hand of young girl the keeping of her own morals.
 T am bitterly opposed to the idea that the children of men and women should support their parents. The human family ls the only family which lives off tho earnings of It's young. The defenders of child labor so frequently put up the plea of the poor widow. but I have found that it is the poor widow who is bend ing over the wash tub trying to send her boy and girl to school, and that it is the treat big, fat, lazy men and women who are sending their children to work in the mills.
 ultimately we will have to face the

matters one way or the other. It will be for us to either soy to our legislatures that we will have a law that can be en- forced, and put someone there to enforce 1t, or say to these little boys and girls that they may take their lives and their morals and do with them as they like.

Plays to Avoid

Now, l am an old woman" she said and l have lived perfectly happy without having seen either 'Koenigs- kinder, The Piper or Peter Pan.' Let us go to those plays which we know to be carried on without injury to the players, and stay away from those that are Injurious to the players"
 Immediately following Miss Kelley's talk. Dr. H. A. Elkourie with a stirring speech presented to Miss Addams from the Greeks of Birmingham a loving cup IS token of what she had done for their race He spoke as follows.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-03-12
Dr. Elkourie's Speech

Miss Addams, in presenting this cup I realize that America. from the east to the west. from the north to the south, has in some way expressed her apprecia ton of your work. The great state of Alabama, and it's garden spot Birmin gham, have come to pay homage to the woman everyone loves. And among the citizens of the state of Alabama the sons of Aristotle, the de- cendants of Homer, the offspring of Aristophanes. yea, the branch of the heroes of Thermopylae, have come iI their humble appreciation to present to you what they regard as a token of respect. that you may remember them and continue your good ork.'

Mayor McClennon to Call Spe=
cial Session of Borough
Council.

Mayor McGlennon, of East Newark,
will call special meeting of the
Borough Council to consider the dan
ger of the Pure Oil works to the town,
following the narrow escape of Mon
day, when barge blew up a few feet
from immense tanks of benzine, gaso-
line and naphtha. He will do this as
soon as the official investigation is
made public.
j. William Clark, treasurer of the
Clark Thread Company, today branded
the oil company's plant as a continual
danger to all East Newark, and par
ticularly the great thread mills
Granting that the Pure Oil Company
is taking every precaution and is itself
comparatively safe, there is great dan
ger in a fire in nearby buildings Sup
pose our own plant should burn? This
would certainly affect those tanks. l
don't care to think of the great loss of
life that would be caused by such an
explosion
Those investigating the explosion
have arrived at the first definite ex-
planation of how it occurred. Gasoline
dripping from the feed pipe leading
from the two tanks to the engine
room collected on the top of bilge water
in the channel through which the pro-
peller shaft ran at the bottom of the
boat.
This condition became such that the
combination of water, gasoline and air
generated a gas more deadly than
dynamite. 1t was ignited in some way
and ripped the boat apart.

the murder of Avis Linnell, his dis
carded sweetheart, Rev. Clarence V. T..
Richeson today faces the fact that a
new and most important link has been
found in the chain which is Tightening
around him.
This new link has been supplied by
Mrs. Bertha NJ. Girdler, of Mercer Me-,
who declares that she saw the preacher
restaurant few hours before Miss
Linnell met her tragic death. Mrs.
Girdler says that she heard Rev. Mr..
Richeson and the girl talking earnestly
together Miss Linnell seemed in doubt
concerning something that the preacher
said, and asked Are you sure?"
To this the preacher responded. in a
deep, reassuring voice, "I am posi-
tive
The finding of Mrs Girdler is looked
upon as most fortunate by the detec-

case. An eye witness who saw the
couple together on the day of the
tragedy is what the police have dill
gently sought.

that the chief Justice would be asked

of Mrs. MaeFarand have been sent

He will insist upon having the case
