Davis continued around the track

partment of Agriculture has issued a
solemn warning to the American
public to beware of "the fried frozen
egg and the boiled dried eggs"

drying a boiled egg if the same is
done under the proper sanitary con-

too venerable an age.
1t warns the public further that
such eggs appear in cakes and pies.
where their inferiority may be sue

LOCATES FAMILY
AFTER LONG HUNT
Man Separated from Wife and
Baby Month Ago Gets
Clue Here.

John Haynes, of Troy, N. y, has
found his wife and baby boy, who
became separated from him at Coney
Island July %. and today left this
city, where he first got news of then
whereabouts, for Asbury Park, where
they have been located.
Haynes, who is a cook, took his wife
and boy, the latter born January l,
down to New York from his home in
Troy. when he found a job there. on
July % they went to Coney Island
for a days outing. The baby cried
necessarily and Mrs. Haynes finally
took it into a drug store TO purchase
a nursing bottle with which to quiet
il. When she came out Of the store
her husband was not to be ound.
Searches In Vain.
HAYNES searched the island until
late that night. but found no trace
of his wife and child. Then he re-
turned to work. He held his job only
a few days, however, for worry over
his missing family so upset him that
he found it impossible to perform his
duties in a satisfactory manner Al
most daily trips to Coney Island
brought no news of his absent wife
and child, and at last he j%ourneyed to
Plainf1eld, the home of Mrs. Ella
Lewis, a close friend of his wife.
Arriving there he was told that
Mrs. Lewis had moved to this city,
but she had not left her address with
her former neighbors. So Haynes re-
suned his apparently useless search,
travelling between ConeS Island. this
city and New York in hope of getting
some news either from his wife or
from Mrs. Lewis.
With this MORNINGS first mail came
a letter to his lodgings from a Plain
field neighbor OF his wife's friend,
Mrs. Lewis. Mrs. Lewis, it said, was
living in Orange place, this city.
Haynes hurried to the address given
wife. 1t had been enclosed in a note
she had sent Mrs. Lewis, and had
been waiting his call for several
days.
Gets Letter from wife.
Il am at Asbury Park" it read.
Come down. The baby cries for you
all the time"
Mrs. Haynes, her husband learned
from the letter, when she lost him in
Coney Island, made her way TO an
employment bureau, where she Sc
cured a position as a domestic in the
home of Mrs. Smith, Monroe venue,
Asbury Park. 1t is at this place that
her husband will claim her.

BOAT IS GUARDED
AGAINST STRIKERS
Destruction of Craft Was Plan
of Striking Drivers,
Firm Declares.

Striking drivers today threatened 10
destroy a 5000 motorboat being
moved by the trucking firm of John 5.
Geiser & Sons.
Thirty strikers gathered outside the
yards of the company at SO Hartford
street. Owing to the continual
violence that has marked the strike,
it vas feared that they would make
good their threat by attacking in a
body.
Detectives on Guard.
A strong Gordon of private de-
tectives was thrown around the yard.
Aid was rurriedly summoned, and it
was decided to move the boat, as he
lesser of two evils.
Horses were hitched to the heavy
truck on which the BOAT was resting,
the gates were opened n it Vas
driven out.
Three mounted police, n bicycle
patrolman and two private detectives
were waiting outside. They closed
around the wagon as a guard. A
strikebreaker was on the seat and
Building Inspector Charles A. Sloan.
the owner of the boat, sat beside him.
Strikers Block Road.
After the truck had rolled away the
strikers left. They reappeared IN a
body at the boathouse of h Eureka
Yacht Club, on the Hackensack
River. the destination of Mr.. Sloan's
motorboat.
IXTl,an tIo frta0l- arrival tho n0liGp
guarded the unloading of the boat.
But the strikers. seeing force was
useless, turned to strategy.
They held up a dead-horse wagon
that appeared. Tearing open the
door they dragged out the
and let it drop in the middle
of the narrow and steep road.
This bottled up the Geiger truck,
which could not pass until the dead
horse was removed. And the strikers
did not intend that it should be
moved.
Truce Is Reached.
This afternoon, after various coun-
ellis of war had been held, Mr.. Sloan
approached Delegate McDermott, of
the local Transfers Union, with a
compromise offer.
If the strikers would leave his boat
alone, Mr.. Sloan promised to dis
charge the strike-breaking driver and
drive the struck back to Newark
himself.
II hired the truck for the day." he
said, land I'll pay off the driver. No
one will touch the wagon except my
self until it is back in Geiger's yards"
After a parley, the strikers agreed
to this, and the wagon was driven
back.
