HIGH Street FIRE
SUFFERERS HAVE
FIRST REUNION
Girls, Embracing, at Relief Fund
Meeting, Weep as They
Recount Horror.

The most realistic echo OF the High
street factory disaster since November
26 occurred yesterday when the sur
%yivors. who were able to respond. at
tended the meeting of the Newark Fire
Relief Fund Committee in the head
quarters of the Board of Trade. Eleven
of the girls were present. and it was
since the day of the conflagration
which resulted in twenty-six of their
companions being killed.
The members of the relief committee
had been DESTROYS of meeting all the
girls on the relief list. They could not
spare the time to visit each one at her
home, and invitations were sent out
asking those who were able to attend
the regular meeting of the committee.
Former Judge Gottfried Kruger, chair
man of the committee. presided at the
meeting. He found 1t difficult to start
proceedings for some time owing to the
eagerness of the girls to exchange con-
'gratulations on each others escape and
the inability of several girls to keep
from crying. so wildly did the meeting
recall the fight for life.
Judge Krueeer Asks Each One.
The chairman asked each girl II she
was being properly cared for, how the
wounds were mending and everything
pertaining to her welfare. All were as
sured tina If they were in need of any
thing which the money of the relief
fund could provide they had only to
ask for II. The girls voluntarily told

dividual experiences in escaping death
on that memorable November &c last
The girls were assured by the chair
man that they would be cared for UNI
til they were able TO :eturn to work.
1t was decided that tho'e who wee
permanently injured would be cared for
in the same manner as the committee
is doing now until some other course
was settled upon. The committee voted
TO set aside $500 to provide a per
manent home FOR the mother of one OF
the girls who was killed in the fire.
The mother is suffering from an incur
able disease and advanced in age Her
only p was taken from her in
the death of her daughter. The COM
mittee decided 10 give the woman a

Commission IS
STILL UNDECIDED
ON MECHANIC ST.
No Action Taken at Meeting
Held Last Evening at
City Hall.

The widening of Mechanic street,
heralded as the relief for the congestion
of vehicular traffic in Market street,
for which a notice of intention was
passed March IT by the Board of Works,
is today as much in the air as it was
before the Legislature passed a law
permitting the city to widen thorough
fares. Al a conference last night in
the Board of Works rooms, held by the
commissioners and attended by a dele
cation of twelve from the Board OF
Trade, the question was again taken
up. No decision was reached, and it
will be brought UP at the meeting of
the board Thursday for further con-
sideration.
The Board of Trade, headed by Abra-
ham Rothschild, presented a resolution
against the widening of the street. in
which 1t is advised that the matter be
deferred until a permanent city plan-
ming commission is formed. 81
The chief obstacle, however, to this
improvement Is the cost. 1t was at
first estimated that this would amount
to about $40, 900, bu the board now be-
l;eves that the cost may exceed a mill
lion
Some of the commissioners are of the
belief that the improvement should he
made IL the cost is reasonable, but they
do not wish to spend a million or more
en- the project. Commissioner Krae1ner
and Chief Engineer Sherrerd will look
into the cost between now and Thurs
day and in their report at the meeting
will be in a position to give a correct
estimate.
1t was the intention of the board TO
widen this thoroughfare with a view of
running it up to the Court Housc,
where it would meet Thirteenth ave-
niue. The majority of property owners
on Mechanic street, 1t is said. are in
favor of the Improvement and have
submitted petitions to the board in
which they strongly urge speedy action.
A petition against the project was also
submitted by the National State Bank,
which Is located on the southeast COR
ner Of the street and the officials OF
which institution are anxious to raze
the present site n built in its place
a modern structure. If the street is
widened it will be impossible to put
up the new building.
The directors to the projec. have de-
clared that Mechanic street Is fast be-
coming a street of office buildings, like
Clinton street, and need not be wider.
Those in favor of the plan say that
Market street is becoming more and
more crowded and that a relief Of some
sort is absolutely necessary.

TROLLEY INSPECTOR TALKS
ON TRAFFIC CONDITIONS.
West Side ImprOvers Will Peti.
ton for New Street.

Trolley Inspector Joseph Crawford
addressed the members of the West
Side Improvement Association at Kin
asst Hall, Springfield avenue and South
Tenth street, last night, on the subject
of the traffic situation in Newark.
With the aid of maps he explained
the difficulty of relieving the congestion
by more cars. in that the corner Of
Broad and Market is already playing
to capacity in that regard.
1t was resolved to petition the Board
of Works TO cut street through the
long block between Waverly, Eish-
teenth and Springfield
John B. Brasser introduced a resoiu-
ton to the effect that a letter be sent
to all of the improvement associations
of the city urging the necessity OF a
central association to discuss civic
questions.

REMARKABLE SLUMP IN
BUILDING FOR APRIL.

At the local building department 1t
was armed today that building con-
struction for the month Of April shows
a remarkable slump in comparison with
the same month a ear ago. Newark,
too, is affected by the slump, and In
stead OF issuing 800 permits. as was
done last year. the local department

April.
The amount of construction during
April Of last year in this city was 81
S2S. 419. and this year 1t was but sl6S,5a5.
This is a decided alling off and is hard
to account for. The losses are general
and were felt by most every nunici-
patty in the country.

MISS ARNOLD STILL MISSING.


Body Not Found in New York Central
Parks Lakes.
New York. March 20.-The waters
OF Central Parks lakes had failed to
give up the body of Dorothy Arnold.
the missing heiress, when searchers
pulled their graphing hooks from the
last of the three big ponds The re-
suit of the search disappointed thou
sands who lined the shores.
The bushes and crannies of the park
previously had been inspected and no
further search there will be made.
The failure to find Miss Arnold's
body apparently disproves the theory
OF her father, Francis r. Arnold, that
she had met foul play while on her
way home through the park.

Her Trial.

Albany, March 14.-Mrs. Edith Mel
Der. on trial for her life for the muir
der of her foursyear-old boy, sat fol
an hour in court scarcely moving 9
muscle while her attorney, John H
Dugan. told the jury why he thought
she should be sent to an insane asy
lum for the rest of her days rather
than to the electric chair.
This poor, defenseless, mindless
woman" was the way Mr.. Dugan al
luded to the prisoner at the bar. 81
would not II I could" he continued,
''have this woman 60 from this room

be sent to an asylum, there to spend

her mother and her husband died from
consumption and that the same di
sease has laid its deadly grip upon
her"
Then the attorney outlined the
squalid story of the accused since
childhood to what he called the des
pairing. elimination of her visit to
Albany, when the deadly acid was
forced down the boys throat and hi,

charged the prosecution with unusual
haste in proceeding against Mrs. Mel

her arrest and declared that an in

methods.

there was an abundance Of wooded

Then Wilbur johnson, Michael Con.
nors and the Rev. Uriel H. Graves,
who visited Mrs. Melber while she
was in the poorhouse with her hus-
band testified that her actions caused
them to think that she was irrational
or unreasonable. Other witnesses also
testified to what they considered un-
usual actions on Mrs. Melber's part.
