+ The city authorities of Lawrence,
Mass, yesterday afternoon began their
defense against the charges that the po-
women, and children strikers in the
course OF the woolen mill strike.
C. f. Lynch. commissioner OF public
safety in Lawrence, was the first wit
ness placed on the stand by the COM
mittee of Lawrence citizens He began

III the stories told before this COM

tlemen should hold up your hands in
horror and join with US in the prayer
God help Lawrence"
Commfssioner on stand.
r. Mr.. Lynch began a lengthy explans-
tion Of the attitude of the city author
tiles toward the strike, but he was soon
interrupted. Earlier in the day strikers
and strike sympathizers had told of
women and children locked up in Law
renee police station In barred cells; OF
children separated from their parents by
the police. and of women and children
clubbed when the attempt was made to
send the children out OF Lawrence.
Tema Comitta had told the committee
that the parents of every child had con-
sented to have the children taken to
Philadelphia. Mr.. Lynch declared that
the police Interference was based on-tne
belief that the parents consent had not
been obtained.
when the order was given to the po-
lice TO prevent these children going to
Philadelphia. did you know OF your own
knowledge that all of those forty chill
dren at the station did not have the con-
sent of their parents?'' demanded Mr..
Stanley.
II was told they did not have their
parents consent. That was why they
were stopped" replied Mr.. Lynch.
Wasn't II rather some indication OF
consent that the mothers Of the children
were present with the children at the
station?' inquired Representative Wilson,
of Illinois.

replied Mr.. Lynch. Capt Sullivan was
in charge there"
''Did Not Know" of Law.
Did you see these women and chill
dren in the jail that morning. I mean
those women with babes in their arms
that we have been told about, who were
arrested at the railroad station" asked
Representative Stanley.
"Yes; saw them there, but they were
not in jail

6oyish Adversely to Using Soap May
Have Deeper Foundation Than
Is Generally Thought.

Or. John G. Mullowney of the Bos-
ton Board of Health in his last bulle-
tin denounced soap as e carrier of
virulent germs and menace to the
health of the nation. He says that
common laundry soap which is often
used In Wishing dishes and food con-
tainers is a menace to health. It is
animal soap for the greater part. and
is made from the carcasses of diseas-
ed animals which have been condemn
ed by the government inspectors.
Bottles or other vessels which are
used to contain milk ought not to be
washed in hot suds unless one is sure
of the soap used He advocates min,
