DEMAND ENDING OF
CH|LDREN'S TOLL
Humanitarians Aroused by Re-
ports OF Tots Who Do
Home Work.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Aroused by
disclosures of the horrors of child
labor at the inquiry of the state Fac
tory Commission today, Professor
Felix Adler and other humanitarians
are urging that the State Legislature
be asked TO pass laws prohibiting
home work for manufacturers.
Miss Elizabeth c. Watson, chief in
v~estigator of "home work" outside
the factories. and several of her as
sistants told stories of children from
3 to 8 years old who were forced to
work after school and far into the
night. and were beaten by their
parents when they begged to be per-
mitted to stop.
The committee heard of labor done
in filthy and infected surroundings
on goods which, it was said. are sold
in shops of the first class; of workers
with hideous skin diseases lying on
piles of coats ready to be sent to
shops to be sold. Miss Watson's
stories were c~orroborated by indie
pendent witnesses not employed by
the commission.
1t was shown by testimony that the
law does not forbid such labor in
homes by children outside school
hours.
The New York State labor law emu
merates forty-one trades which may
be carried on in tenements provided
these places are licensed and are
sanitary. AS these places are not fac
tories 1t is thus possible to employ
children.

len Joints and Muscles.
Drives All Rheumatic
Pains AWAY

1t is needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled

heart-wrenching pain, when you can
be quickly and permanently cured,
Rheumatism zones from weak. in
active kidneys, that fail to filter from
the flood the poisonous waste mat
ter and uric acid; and it is useless to
rub on liniments or take ordinary
remedies to relieve the pain. This
only prolongs the misery and can't
possibly cure you.
The only way to cure rheumatism
Is to remove the cause. The new dis
covery, Croxone, positively does this.
1t neutralizes and dissolves all the
poisonous substances and uric acid
that lodge in the joints and muscles
to scratch and irritate and cause
rheumatism, and cleans out and
strengthens the stopped-up, inactive
kidneys so they filter all the poison
from the blood and drive 1t on and
out of the system.
Croxone is the most wonderful
medicine ever made for curing chron-
ic rheumatism, kidney troubles and
bladder disorders. You will find Il
different from all other remedies
There is nothing else on earth like il.
1t matters not how old you are. or
how long you have suffered, it is
practically impossible to take 1t into
the human system without results.
You will find relief from the first few
doses, and you will be surprised how
quickly all your misery and suffering
will end.

ALL NIGHT
OF HORROR, ASSASSIN
GRILLS HIS VICTIMS
Lacombe, Anarchist, Holding Revolvers Aimed, Plies Editor and

attended with circumstances of cold
blooded cruelty that are rarely
eaualled in fantastic melodrama.
Lacombe, the anarchist assassin,
burst into NJ. Ducret's room Tuesday
night at half-past 10 o'clock, and
with a pistol in each hand announced
to Mr.. Ducret and his wife that they
had sold him and must die.

SUGGESTS FEDERAL AID IN
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 6.-"Fed-
eral aid for vocational education
was the topic of speeches by United
States Senator Carroll S. Page, of
Vermont; Congressman William B.
Wilson, of Pennsylvania, who spoke
on behalf of the workingman, and
Charles II. Harding. a manufacturer
of this city, at a banquet given here
in connection with the sixth annual
convention of the National Society
for the Promotion of Industrial Edu-
cation.
Ii was pointed out that the Page
Wilson bill. now before the Senate
and in the hands of the House COM
mittee on agriculture, provides for
the distribution each year among the
States of a sum less than the cost OF
a battleship, the purpose being to
provide the stimulation for the prac-
teal education necessary to the well
fare and happiness of the country's
farmers and -wage-earners.

selves backward, and only M. Ducret
was hit. The detonations of the as
sassin's revolver. however, extin-
guished the lamp in the bedroom and

them were dead.
Kill Husband of Postmistress.
1t appears that Lacombe lodged at
the Ducret home the night of No
vember 8, when four armed and
masked men burst into the postof1ce
at Bezons, a suburb of Paris. and
shot and killed the husband OF the
postmistress and decamped with
o n and stamps. When Lacombe
sought to leave the house the next
morning. he found it surrounded.
Somehow, however, he managed to
escape and hide in an adjoining house
until the police left. Previously they
had made a fruitless search of the
Ducret home. 1t was this fact that
led Lacombe to believe that the Du-
crets had betrayed him.
1t is said that M. Ducret has some
to recover from his wound, al
though his condition is grave. Id
combe has not yet been arrested.

EMPLOYEES FIGHT FIRE
AT A INSANE ASYLUM

MORRISTOWN, n. J., Dec. cit
has become known that the State
Hospital for the Insane at Morris
Plains was endangered seriously by
fire Tuesday afternoon. The hospital
employees put out the blaze without
calling for outside help, bu, at n
time it seemed as though the main
building, where the fire occurred, was
doomed. There was no panic among
the patients.
The fire was caused by the ignition
of a from a broken pipe. Wet
clothes slapped up against the open
ing from which the flames gushed
finally stopped the fire at that point.
The break was close to the ceiling,
and streams of water were sent
through holes chopped through the
floor above. These kept the floor
beams from burning. The break was
caused by electricians stringing wires.

SUSPENDED MEN
RETURN TO WORK
Hudson's New Supervisor Gets
Slap from FreehoIders.
New Appointees.

JERSEY CITY, n. J., Dec. 6.-Sev-
enty-three thousand and some odd
dollars worth of Hudson county en-
ployees, whose suspension was the
first official act of James f. O'Mealia,
the new county supervisor. when he
took office asst Monday. went back to
work today.
The reinstatement of the county
servants, who are more than sixty
in numbers, was effected yesterday by
the present large Board of Free
holders. who will be superseded by a
board of nine members on January /,
There are thirty-nine members in the
old board, and twenty-one of them
attended the meeting.
The deposed employees were put
back at work on motion Of Free
holder Robert A. Weir, of the Elev-
enth ward, this city. Mr.. Weir told
his colleagues that the new super
visor had acted above his authority
IN making such q wholesale suspen-
sion. Only Freebooter Knight voted
to sustain Mr.. O'Mealia. and Free
holder Robinson was excused from
voting. Freeholders Untereiner and
Prior, who were elected members of
the now small board last election,
stayed away from the meeting. So
did Freebooter James Doody, recently
elected g. member of the Jersey City
Street and Water Board.
In asking for the reinstatement of
the county employees Freebooter
Weir stated hat Mr.. O'Mealia had
himseluf acknowledged that ne had
made a mistake in taking such sweep
ing action by reinstating some of the
employees he had dropped. Time
would show that other mistakes were
made. Mr.. Weir said.
Then to demonstrate that, far from
having o many employees. as Mr..
O'Mealia holds, the board proceeded
to make appointments rs follows: SUI
perintendent of the County Hospital
for the Poor, former Freebooter Pc
ter A. Kane. of this city: underkeep-
er at the pe%nitentiary. Paul March,
and, and cook at the ~almshouse,
Henry Beerman.
The board also %concurred in Mr..
Thomas Armstrong his private secre-
tary at an annual salary of 81, 800 a
year.
Just what developments nay follow
the boards action in refusing to sus-
tain the county supervisor in his
wholesale suspensions, local politi-
clans cannot foresee. 1t is believed
by some, however, that his determi-
nation to cut down the county ex-
penses will meet with the approval
of the new small board when it takes
office.
