ALLEGED 'BOOK|ES,'
TRAPPED BY WOMAN,
ASKPOSTPONEMENT
Two Restaurant Men, Ac.
cused of Accepting Bets,
Out Under Bonds.

Ernest Knowles, manager of a down.
town rathskeller, and James Reed,
waiter in a Pennsylvania avenue res
taurant. two men taken into custody
by police of the First precinct yester-
day on a charge of accepting bets on
horse races from a pretty young
woman whom the police used as a
stool pigeon" to obtain the necessary
evidence, asked for a postponement of
the hearing of their cases in the Police
Court today. f..
Both Knowles and Reed are at liberty
on $1,000 bonds each. Assistant United
States District Attorney Sydney Mudd
said that he would postpone the hearing
of the cases indefinitely. Mr. Mudd pre-
fers that Assistant United States At
torney Ralph Given, who has prose-
cuted most of the handbook cases,
should also take charge of the prosecu-
ton OF the charges against Knowles
and Reed. *
Sergt. John Cats and Detective
Howes and Simpson, of the First pre-
cinct, who planned the arrest of the
two men, declared in the District Attor-
neys office today that they have strong
evidence in both cases. They believe
the young woman whom they sent to
make the bets with marked money
would be an invaluable witnes against
the men when they are brought to trial.

MISSIONARY LIKELY
.TOBE BARREDOUT OF.
KOREA BY JAPANESE
Rev. G. S. McCune Slated to
Go-Alleged Plot Cause
of Trouble.

SHANGHAI, Aug. 27-That the Rev.
George s. McCune, head OF the Ameri-
can Presbyterian Mission School at
Syen- Chyun, will have to leave Korea
as a result of the Japanese govern
ment's dislike of him, was the opinion
expressed in missionary circles here to-
day.
or all the missionaries whose names
have been mentioned in connection with
the trial of the 123 Koreans accused OF
plotting Governor General Terauchi's
assassination, McCune has been the OBJ
ject of prosecutions bitterest attack.
The statement by Attorney Ogawa, OF
the defense. in his concluding argument
that several participants in the plot in.
cluding McCune. had not been arrested,
Is considered a direct bid for leniency
to his clients at the missionaries ex-
pense.
McCune's friends say he naturally
breaches liberty and enlightenment, but
declare the idea that he was implicated
in an assassination plot is ridiculous.
A decision in the conspiracy case is ex.
pected today.

Busiest of Bees
nm the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 Although. bees are apt to turn out on any sunshiny days, the bulk of their work is done by the first of November and they have retired for their winters sleep. The beelseeper must now put cushions into the tops of the hives, taking only what honey he is sure can be spared by the bees, and leave them for their Information.
 In Florida there is no such work to do, says writer in Outing. The bees work all winter, and they have as good feed in February and March as they do in July, The orange orchards are alive with the honeygatherers, and their buzzlings blend into almost a roar in March, for that is when the orange flowers are open; but if must be confessed that the honey has a twang, something like the acidity of an orange, and it does not compare at all with that made from the basswood
 Besides the orange there are successive fowerings of legumes of all sorts all ttso year. every one having positive favor and few of them giving to honey. 1 fami- liar flavor. Yet Florida Is nat1ral home of the bee, and honey in. the southern

ters. All are now provided with respira- tors and are given medical examination once a month. The company at present employs five physicians, where it had but one. All the sand blasting in accordance with the preference of the men Is now done out of doors. The men either wear helmets very much like those of a diver, or work inside small portable houses with canvass covered openings. through which their arms pass. and with a window to look through, so as to control the work and yet be protected from the dust.
 To protect the interior painters against lead poisonong the company has decided to adopt a compound of lead that is much less poisonous than ordinary white lead. There is a very evident feeling of solici- tude for the health and safety of the men at Pullman now and readiness to go to great length in the prevention of acei- dents and illness. It needed only that the conditions should be placed clearly and with a certain insistence before the offi- cials of the company for them to recog- nize the necessity for changes.
 Surely it is not rash to assume that the same thing would be true of most large companies. The evils that exist are often long standing and it simply has not oc- cured to anyone to inquire if they are still inevitable or if modern methods Of protection would not do away with them.

1 injured men and 1t failed to meet the
 increased number of accidents caused | by the introduction of steel construction
 with a corresponding increase In its sur gcal force.
 I These were the facts that were brought | to Mrs Bowen's attention and that made | her decide to take up the whole question | of accidents and industrial disease among the employees of this company, of which she is a stockholder. At first she sent an agent to Pullman to investigate the acci- l dent situation. His report showed that with an average of 200 accidents a month, | the company was employing but one sur | geon for a part of his time, that he was
 not given the services of a nurse or an as-
 sistant and that there was no company
 hospital, so that patients that could not
 pay and for whom the company was not legally liable had to be sent home or to the county hospital some 12 miles away. In many cases there would be no objec- tion to sending wounded man home,
 but in the case of immigrant men living in lodgings, hospital accommodations seem necessary
 Mrs. Bowen submitted the results of this investigation to the managers of the company. reserving as a last resort an appeal to the stockholders in case the managers should refuse to act. This proved to be quite needless. The officials were at first somewhat skeptical as to the accuracy of her statement and one of them asked her why, If she thought so poorly of the zcompany, she had not sold her stock and thus freed her conscience.
 She replied that she preferred to stay in and do something about it.
 On the whole, however, the conference
 was most amicable and the officials de-
 cided to send the report for verification
 to the men in charge or the various de.
 partments. When 1t was clear that her
 statements were born out by the facts
 they agreed to carry out as far as possi-
 ble the reforms which she recommended.
 physical examination made of all the men employed in work which exposed them to industrial diseases.
 Meanwhile the new occupational disease act came into force in Illinois and obliged the Pullman company to do away with certain of the dangers described. The fumes of the glass department had to be confined or carried away and provisions made for lunch rooms, wash rooms and special working clothes for the men en- gagged in handling the poison. The law does not touch the men in the depart-
 ments which are dusty but not poisonous. The company however, has been im- 1 pressed with the results of the medical examination and decided to go beyond | the law and to include under special pro- | tective care not only the men in the pois- onous but those in the dusty depart

J. P. Morgan a Prisoner

From the New York Press.
 A missing doorknob kept J. P. Morgan, Jr., and Robert Bacon, former ambassa- dor to France. marooned for half an hour on the 18th floor of the new Bankers Trust yesterday The two men had gone to the top floor of the building to look over the suite of offices that ]. P. Mor- gan will occupy on his return from Europe.
 They entered and closed the door with out observing the knob on the inside was missing. When they started to leave after inspecting the offices, however, they were unable to open the door, as the latch had caught. They were alone on the floor, and, although they shouted and knocked nobody heard them. Finally Morgan produced a penknife and after about 20 minutes work unscrewed the lock and opened the door. There was no telephone or other means of communica- tion with the outside world, so if 1t had not been for the penlSnife they might have been held there for several hours.

l (Exclusive Service The Survey Press 1 Bureau)
 I Many men and women are beginning to feel more or less vague misgivings as ] to the lot of thousands of workers upon whose toll their income depends. Loose as is the tie which binds the men em-
 ployed by a large corporation to its stock holders, many of the latter sincerely wish to give expression to their sense of re- sponsibillty. Disquieting stories of over long hours, of excessive accident and
 monia caused by irritating dust, arouse in conscientious stockholders real desire
 to do something to correct these evils.
 But since the stockholders are scattered they usually feel that there is no way to
 make a protest to the executive man.
 agers effective.
 I want to tell the story of one stock
 holder who attacked this problem with
 unhesitating directness. She found that the difficulties were not insurmountable
 and that the corporation was made up of very reasonable and humane men. About year ago I went to Mrs. Joseph F. Brown to talk with her about the con ditions in the great Pullman works, be- cause knew she was large stockholder. In the course of an investigation car- ried on for the Occupational Disease Com
 mission of Illinois we had become con vinced that there was O needless amount of industrial disease among the men at
 Pullman who were exposed to poisonous
 or irritating dust and fumes. For in-
 stance, the paint for the interior of the
 sleeping cars was very rich in white lead
 and was used in such a way that the
 painter could hardly escape lead poison
 ing The paint had to be rubbed down
 with sand-paper, which produces great
 deal of dust. AS this was done inside the
 small inclosure of the dressing rooms, the
 air became full with white lead dust.
 Work of this kind is recognized as the
 worst painter can do and skilled paint
 CTS will not undertake 1t if they can pos
 sibly find anything else to do. There were
 other places in which men were exposed to poisonous substances, such as the
 glass etching department where hydro fuoric acid is used. The fumes of this
 acid are excessively irritating, causing inflammation of the eyes, nose and throat,
 bronchitis and broncho-pneumonia.
 The Illinois commission was not sup posed to go into the problem of non-pois- onous dust, but as a matter of curiosity
 we did examine that department which was admitted to be the most dangerous, | the sand blasting. Sand blasting con | sists of driving the very finest possible sand against a sheet of steel with such force that the grains dent it and it be- comes roughened all over with millions of tiny dents, so that the paints will ad- | here to the surface. This work was
 done out doors in sumrSer and in winter l 1t was done inside building and the fine sand was excessively bad for the work mems throats and lungs. As we con versed with the workmen we gained a
 very definite impression that the com. pany was not giving the best care to Its

 Between the worker and the bourgeoise
 there Is no love lost. Now the present
 republic is the triumph of the bourgeoise. the next republic will be the triumph of | labor. Paris is beginning to realize this. and the more astute politicians are truck | ling before the Confederation Generale | du Travail in particular and the work | ing people in general. Pataud, the one and only Pataud, showed what organ | ized labor could do when he instituted his famous electric light comedy and the

 Mark Twain did not cherish fond ness for the average office boy. He had an idea that the genus was insult ferable and invariably when the hum orist sallied forth into some business office there was immediate armed hos tility between him and the boy.
 One day Mark went to see friend at his office and the office boy on guard in icy tones. said:
 Whom do you wish to seer"
 Mark mentioned his friends name.
 What do you want to see him about?" came next from the boy.
 Mark Twain immediately froze up and then with a genial smile he said:
