Summer is a trying season on ba-
bies. and parents should see to 1t that
the little ones are made as comfortable
as possible Helpless themselves the
tots mutely appeal to the parents to
protect their health. Special care of
babies in the heated season is of the
utmost Importance, and is a matter TO
which parents should devote great
deal of careful thought.
An apparently simple feature, but
one OF much Importance, will be dealt
with at this time-how to hold a baby.
This is a matter which should COM
mand the attention Of every parent, as
ordinarily 1t is passed over lightly, few
stopping to think that 1t has an impor-
tant bearing on the comfort of the in
FAINT We frequently see parents hug
ging and holding their babies in all
kinds of positions-just to suit their
own convenience. comfort or inclination.
In the meantime the baby will become
fretful and nervous, and the "holder"
will wonder what is the matter.

Hugging Irritates Child.
The idea Of holding the baby away
from your own body is to keep 1t cool.
Whenever baby lies up against your
own breast. or is hugged close In your
arms, you naturally impart heat to 1t.
This makes the baby fretful, simply be-
cause It gets too hot. And this is what
you want to avoid in hot weather-the
baby gets enough heat without having
to share your supply.
So many parents and others make the
mistake of picking up babies and hold
ing them snug in their arms and
against their breasts This is pardon
able in winter weather. You think, of
course, you are holding the baby in the
most comfortable way by doing this.
while in reality YOU are only teasing
its nerves.

Another arrest occurred today in
which an agent of the Union National

the Union building. figured, when
Mrs. Mariana Washilewsky, of 40
Boyd street, was held for the grand
jury and later paroled on charge of
larceny.
George Gottheimer. an agent for
the Union National Benefit Associa-

Gottheimer alleged that on Decem-

her SO change, she kept the latter

Defer MEETING Of
C. O.P. COMMITTEE
Republicans in 0uandary Over
Choice of Successor to
DaIrympIe.
"Pete" Dunn.

No call has been issued for a meet
ing of the Essex County Republican
Committee for this week, and 1t was
said today that the plans for the
meeting have been abandoned. It
may be. held early next week. Just
who the successor of Chairman Al
fred n. Dalrymple will be is still
keeping the old-timers guessing.
Friends of former Assemblyman Her
bert w. Taylor, of the Eighth ward,
claim he has the best chance and will
make an able leader.
Others figure that the honor should
go to County Auditor Alfred T. Guen-
ther, Commissioner of Works Harry
B. O'Connell, former Alderman and
Assemblyman william P. Pennington,
County Physician William H. Nc
Kenzie or John H. Murray, member
Of the County Election Board. For
mer Assemblyman Thomas Smith, of
the Twelfth ward, who was high man
on the G. o. P. Assembly ticket at
the recent and also at last years cleo
tions, is being groomed for the place
by his friends. Despite the fact that
the demand has been made that
"Dals" successor must be a Newark
er, the committeeman from the subur-
ban districts may make a fight for
former County Clerk John B. Wool
ston, County Counsel Benjamin F.
Jones or County Register Thomas P.
Alworth. The latter was the lone vic
tor on the Republican ticket in the
county in 1911. The fight for the place
is apt to be exciting.

POLICE TO ADD
TO REWARD FOR
GAFFNEy SLAYERS
Mott Sends Letter to
Freeh olders Re-
questing $500.

When Lieutenants Patrick Ryan
and Joseph Farrell learned today that
Prosecutor Wilbur A Mott would re-
quest the Board of Freeholders to
offer $500 as a reward for the cap
ture of the slayers of Plainclothes-
man John j, Gaffney last Friday
night, Ryan offered to increase the
reward by 5000 and Farrell by 500.
Lieutenant Ryan was with Gaffna
when the latter was shot, and one of
the bullets fired by the assassIns
passed through his overcoat.
Prosecutor Motifs request for re-
ward is indorsed by Chief Justice
Gummere.
The finance committee of the board
meets this afternoon, and the ques-
ton of reward will be taken up by
them at once. There is no question
but what the prosecutor will be given
authority to offer the reward.
Prosecutor Mott is deeply stirred
over the crime committed in the very
heart Of the city, and said today
that he believed it a case where no
expense should be spared in running
down the guilty parties. my entire
staff stands ready to help and CO.
operate with the police department in
capturing these men," he said. "The
clues so far seem very slender" he
continued. "as the three men who
did the shooting seem to have made
clean getaway"
Prosecutor Motifs proposed reward
is due to the activities of the city
authorities, who are prohibited by
law from offering a reward them
selves.
Secretary Cox, of the Police Board,
went over the law on this point with
City Counsel Nugent on Monday and
discovered that only county prose-
cutor or the> Governor of the State
can offer reward in case similar
to the present one.
Accordingly he took the matter up
with Prosecutor Mott, who acted on
1t Immediately.

You can't keep a squirrel on the

the White House family out of the
spotlight, as shown plainly in the
Second Precinct Court today when
Frank Taft was tried for begging.
"Oh, yes, / am the President" said
the prisoner to Acting Judge Oehr-
ing. land I wish 1 could get away
from here because 1 have important
engagements at Washington and 1t
means a whole lot; it's very impor-
tant that l should get there today"
But the judge couldn't see it and
told Taft that a doctor would visit
him soon in the county Jail, where he
was Committed for thirty days.
Taft went into a grocery store at
Washington and Delavan avenues
yesterday afternoon and told the pro-
prietor he was hungry. He also NUT
tered a good deal and was given cof-
fee and rolls in a hurry. This food
did not agree with his presidential
appetite, and without waiting to take
particular aim he flung the rolls back
into the face of the good Samar-
itan."
Outside the store Taft told an inn

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 11.-Six-
teen heirs of Mrs. Jane Perkins, who
died in Union county, Tenn, thirty
five years ago, have brought suit in
the Circuit Court here to obtain pos
session of the $325,0O0 estate y OF
Nathaniel P. Simpson, recluse, who
died here last December.
The petition asserts that Mrs. Per-
kins accumulated $4,000 in Central
City, Colo, where she kept a board
ing house for miners, and had the
privilege of gathering waste gold
from the sluice boxes at the mines
Nathaniel p. Simpson, a miner,
boarded at her home and became
her business manager.
In 1873 Simpson induced her to in
vest her money in securities, and
when she died, the petition states he
left there, taking all the valuable
papers with him, and for more than
thirty years Mrs. Perkins's heirs
were unable to find him.

RIDERS STRIKE IN

AND LEAVE OVAL
Exhausted Bicyclists,
However, Do Not
Quit Race.
RIDE INSIDE OF SAUCER
FOR MORE THAN HOUR
Lose Seven Miles, but Still
Ahead of Record When
They Return.
LFrom a staG correspondent.1

n
NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-Twenty
miles ahead of the record and tagged
out, fourteen riders in the six-day
bicycle race at Madison Square Gar
den went on strike today.
While. the riders did not quit, they
rode off the track at 11:25 and set
snail pace. Smoking pipes and
cigarettes, they went no faster than
man can walk.
After riding on the fiat" for an
hour the six-day riders jumped back
to the track shortly after 1890
o'clock and started out on record
breaking pace. Moran was the first
to mount the incline and all the
others followed his lead.
At l o'clock the end Of the sixty
first hour, thirteen teams had covered
1924 miles, and 1 lap, just 1S miles
and laps ahead of the best previous
mark, which was made by Halstead
and Lawrence in 1909.
: Chairman Kelsey, of the N. c. A,
declared that he did not blame the
riders for leaving the track when they
did. He says that they were human,
and it would be folly to expect them
to maintain the pace that they have
been following since the start of the
race. This declaration can mean but
one thing, that there will be no pun
ishment dealt out to the riders from
the cycling body.
To the spectators 1t looked as
though the plan had been mapped out
beforehand.
At given signal all of the riders
followed in the wake of piggy"
Moran, who was leading at the time,
and dropped from the track onto the
fiat.
officials scurried everywhere and
used every effort to compel the riders
to get back onto the track, but their
efforts were futile. The riders laughed
at threats oe lines and suspensions.
and at naon were still on the fiat
riding slowly.
At time progressed the riders got
in much comedy work.
Grassy Ryan called for his high"
hat and the riders played beanbag,
passing it from one to the other.
Ryan also got a corncob pipe from,
his trainer and smoked to his
hearts content.
Perchicot and Brocco, the two
Frenchman who can speak but a few
words of English, carried American
newspapers on their handle-bars and
read the funny pictures.
Sparrow" Collins also pulled
funny one when a member of his
camp handed him a letter that had
just been received. He broke the seal
and read it's contents while circling
the track.
Referee John Valentine, who is in
charge during the daytime, was much
wrought up by the action of the
riders. and scurried from one camp
to another, but without success. lie
gave the riders two minutes to get
back on the track, but at the end of
a half hour they were still on the
fiat and he was still threatening
them with all kinds of punishment.
Percy Lawrence, whose partner.
Jake Magin, sustained a broken
in a spill early this morn
ing, was officially declared out of the
race at 1916 o'clock. Magin is in
Bellevue Hospital.
