FIRE M E MS
STRIKE NOW
Lawrence Textile Situation
Threatens to Grow More
Serious.

LAWRENCE. Mass, Feb. ia
band of Polish women operatives who
are participating in the great textile
strike assembled near st. Anthony's
Syrian Church early today and defied
the police and militia authorities to
dispense them.
The women numbered about a dozen
and were engaged in picketing the mill
district. They did not dispense until
a squad Of about thirty police officers,
a small detachment of infantry and a
troop of cavalry were sent to the
scene. Three of the women were ar
rested, charged with disorderly con-
duct.
The rumor was persistent this morn
ing that the stationary firemen propose
to strike late this afternoon or to-
morrow morning. This would cripple
some mills seriously.
At some of the mills large increases
in the number resuming work today
was claimed, but there seemed to be
little change at the plants of the
American Wooden Company.

Makes Move in
Zeller Sentence

A further echo of the fight of former
Sheriff John Zeller, of Hudson county,
TO have a three-year sentence imposed
on him by Justice Swayze, of the Su-
preme Court, last December, set aside,
was heard before Chief Justice Gum
mere today.
r. +. Heller, a Jersey City lawyer,
appeared and said that he thought the
conviction unlawful In that Justice
Swayze had sat alone as judge of the
Court of Oyer and Terminer when both
County Judges Blair and Carey, OF
Hudson county, were available and able
to sit In the trial with him.
In refusing to grant a new trial, 1t
developed that a certificate from JUS
tice Swayze had shown that both
Judges Blair and Carey were absent
from court when the case was called,
but did not state whether they were
absent from the city or county.
Mr.. Zeller asked for a mandamus to
compel Justice Swayze to furnish
further facts as to whether he knew
the judges named We're in the Jersey
City Court House while the trial was
in progress. The applice ton was re-
fused by Chief Justice Gummere.

PITTSBURGH. Feb. 19.-One man
killed and four were injured in
the collapse of a three and a half story
concrete and steel Office building of the
Spang, Chalfant & Co, steel plant, at
Etna today. The building. which was
nearing completion. was a thousand
feet long, and without warning. from
cause unknown, about 500 feet of 1t
crumpled up like an egg shell and fell
into the cellar, a mass of debris and
twisted steel work.
The five workmen, employees of the
building contractor, were all that are
known to have been IN the building at
the time. -Four of these were taken out
by the Volunteer department and a
wrecking crew of a trolley line sum
moned from this city. The body of the
dead man has not yet been recovered.
In falling the wreckage carried with
1t telephone and telegraph lines that
pass the structure, while several small
stores across the street were crushed
in. The occupants of these escaped
injury.

ANGERED
ATATTITUDE
OF COLOMBIA
Recall Of Minister May Be Result
OF Refusal to Greet
Knox.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA grave
diplomatic situation between the
United States and Colombia has been
precipitated by the publication of a
letter which Senior Pedro Mel Ospina.
the Colombian minister. has written
to Acting Secretary Huntington Will
son, of the state department, suggest
ing that it might be 'in%opportune'' for
Secretary Knox to visit Colombia dur
ing his projected tour of Central Amer
lea.
A more profound sensation is looked
for. as 1t Is believed that a termina-
ton of diplomatic relations between
this country n Colombia is in pros
pect.
The Columbian minister, first draw
ing attention to the fact that the views
are his WI and not officially those of
his government, seriously criticises the
United States for not submitting to
arbitration the differences with Co.
iombia growing out of this govern
ment's acquisition Of the Panama canal
zone.
The incident 10 expected to result
in the recall of the Colombian minister.
In diplomatic circles 1t was believed
that Colombia, smarting under eight
year Of ineffectual attempts to secure
arbitration of the canal zone differ
ences would confirm the unofficial
views of her accredited representative.

BEAUTIFUL HAIR
AT SMALL COST
A Simple Remedy Beauties the
Hair, Cures Dandruff, Stops
Falling Hair.

What a pity 1t is to see so many
people with thin, wispy hair, faded or
streaked with gray, and realize that
most of these people might have soft,
glossy, abundant hair of beautiful color
and lustre If they would but use the
proper treatment. There is no neces-
sity for gray hair under sixty-fve
years of age. and there is no excuse for
anyone, young or old, having thin.
struggling hair, either full of dandruff
or heavy and rank smelling with ex-
cessive oil.
You can bring back the natural color
OF your hair in a few days n forever
rid yourself of any dandruff and loose
hairs, and make your hair grow strong
and beautiful by using Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy. For gener-
atoms common garden Sage has been
used for restoring and preserving the
color of the hair; and Sulphur is recog-
nized by Scalp Specialists as being
excellent for treatment of hair and
scalp troubles.
If you are troubled with dandruff
or itching scalp. OIL IL your hair Is
losing its color or coming out, rel a
fifty cent bottle of wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur from FOUR druggist. and notice
the Improvement in the appearance Of
your hair after q few days treatment.

Formal hearing before the Public

on the question of gas rates. The hear
ing was confined to the testimony of
building construction experts who testi-
fled as to the value of the property Of
the gas company in Passaic.

neer for the Public Service Company,
explained the cost of the construction
Of several buildings which had beer
estimated from blue prints and a gen.
buildings. which were to be duplicated.
Frank Sommer, attorney for the Public
Utilities Commission, called for the or
iginal blue prints from which the esti-
mates were made. Judge Armstrong,
counsel for the gas company, promised
to produce them at the hearing, If pos
sible.
Adolph. S~chneeweiss, of the George
w. Ferguson Contracting Company, of
New York and Paterson, took the stand
and gave a detailed account OF how
estimates were made without specifica-

Why don't you stay at home and

While the audience of over 1,O00

This was really the beginning of the
inland waterway movement.
with the completion of the contem-

the completion of the Erie barge canal,

Keeping navigation unimpeded in the
port of New York will be vastly more
complicated than it Is today We must
plan not only for these things in the
near future, but for the generation to
come.
Not only have the States of New
York and New Jersey awakened to the
situation, but the municipalities Dor
dering upon the harbor have also been
aroused to action. and there is q
healthful movement to undo as far as
possible the mischief of the past and
safeguard for the future the most val
liable asset of the cities, their water
fronts.
Newark is planning development of
its riparian lands and meadow lands,
suitable for factory sites. Jersey City
has won it's fight of years and recov-
cred the South Cove property, which
has no equal within the confines of the
harbor as a site for a wet basin and
warehousing facilities. This city is also
acquiring by degrees docking facilities
along the Hackensack river and Is
wrestling with the problem of how to
regain at least part of that and upon
the Hudson river which was alienated
from 1t a &
"Bayonne, Elizabeth, Perth Amboy and

ted as it never has been upon any pub

OFFICIALS CALLED
IN CRAFT PROBE
Grand jury Begins Investigation
Into Orange Municipal
Affairs.

There was an interested group of
Orange officials and citizens in the
court room this afternoon awaiting the
as to their knowledge of municipal
condition in Orange, the subject of a
probe following charges that graft had
figured in Il award of a recent gar
bage contract.
The officials s~ubpoenaed included
Mayor Arthur B. Seymour, several
councilmen, Charles avis, deposed
sewer foreman, who made the charges
against Councilman Patrick A. Quinn;
Mrs. Mary McDermott, who has the po-
sition of j%anitress of the Council cham
Der, and was given a reappointment
last year; Serafino Monica, of the
Third ward. who was interested in
having his brother appointed to a posi-
ton in one of the city departments;
Patrick j.. Kearns. who was a
ger contractor seeking appointment.
but who lost out to the present official.
and other men who are supposed to
have figured In the gossip about. the
alleged scandals that have been street
talk for many months.
The chief interest. of course centres
about the scavenger contract of last
year, and the report that a Newark
contractor, seeking the award, sen a
check to "a prominent Orange Repub-
and one time county official.
This check Is ALLEGED to have been
photographed and the check Is believed
to be one of the interesting bits of
evidence. 1t was made out for 81, 500
and is said to have been parceled out
among some folk by the man whose
name Is used as an Endorsement.
