PERTH AMBoY STRIKE
 MAY BE SETTLED
Terms Offered Which Strike Leaders
 Say Are Acceptable.

Perth Amboy, N. J.. June 1s.-Om- cers of the American Smelting & Re- fnfng company declared early tonight that the backbone of the strike at their plant had been broken. About 1.500 men have been out at this plant, around which the strike troubles of the past week have centered. Nearly 5000 men and women in all are on strike. Three men have been killed and a score or more injured during riotous demonstrations since the strike started.
 The prediction that the end of the strike is in sight followed a conference which H. Fl. Alexander, general man ager of the company, and Willard F. Morse, a director, held with a com mittee of the strikers this afternoon At this conference terms were pro- posed which the strike leaders declared would probably be acceptable to tho men who walked out early last week.
 Ad1utant General Sadler of the na- tional guard, representing Governor Wilson, was informed after the con- ference that there was every indication that a settlement of the dispute would be reached tomorrow. General Sadler immediately telephoned to Governor Wilson at Sea Girt and later left for his home in Trenton.
 The terms proposed by the American Smelling officials were not announced

MOVEMENT FOR HUGHES.
New Workers Trying to Boom Him as
 Compromise Candidate.

Chicago, June 16.-A movement on behalf of Justice Charles E. Hughes of the United States supreme court as a compromise candidate for president took definite form here today. Several supporters of the justice came on from New York and spent the day in the hotel lobbies and quarters of various state delegations sounding the senti ment of delegates and political leaders.
 William H. Hotchl1iss of New York, former state superintendent of insur- ance and a close friend of Justice Hughes, is the leading spirit of the movement
 Does not Justice Hughes statement of last week that he would not permit the use of his name as compromise candidate eliminate him?" MT. Hotch- kiss was asked.
 T think not" he replied. No man, particularly a man with Justice Hughes ideas on civic duty. can refuse to serve the people of the nation in a crisis such as the present one
 MT Hotchkiss and his assistants took pains to make 1t clear that they had come here without the knowledge of Justice Hughes, who, they felt would discourage such movement Mir. Hotchkiss said he had not seen the justice in six months,

past four or.fve years there have been
no more than five or six abandon
ments in n year."
The plan is to take impressions OF
the fingers Of all infants born in public
institutions, especially in charity
cases, from which issue most of the
abandonments. These finger prints are
filed OF cards, together with minute
descriptions of the mothers of the In
fants. II after leaving the hospital an
infant is abandoned, a finger print Is
Immediately taken and the files are
searched for the corresponding print.
If the finger print Is identified, the
description of the mother is given to
the police, who starts hot upon her
trail.
The fnger-print files are kept in
some central place, the various hos
pitfalls sending in cards for every infant
born. 1t has been clearly demonstrate

SONGS OF NAPLES
Rich Melodies Are Everywhere
in This City.
In tho Variety Theater Voices Are
Heard That Would Make tho
Owners HeadiIners on tho
American Stage.

Naples, rtaly.-The songs Of Naplesl
In these perhaps is the real art of the
city concentrated; and these are likely
to prove YOU most pleasant memory
of the place. You hear the seductive
melodies everywhere-and the voices
that sing them are usually very sweet.
If you would have an evening of song
go to La Fenice, a curious small
theatre of varieties" which consists
of a pit, a tier Of boxes in the first
balcony. and q single row Of seats In
the gallery. Tho audience is a noisy
one, and the women are beautiful n
~gorgeously dressed-perhaps too osten-
%tatiousto suit the P~uritanical taste. The
performers, too. are hardly models,
ethically speaking. but vocally they
are marvels, and they give you the
best that Naples has to offer in the
way of native songs A dozen singers
or SO, follow each other in succession,
and nearly every one of them Of a
quality that would win the title OF a
'headliner" in America. And there
are some stunning beauties among
them.
One should not fail, while in Naples.
to visit the National museum; 1t con-
tains one Of the finest collections OF an
cient bronzes In the world, and some
splendid treasures of Herculaneum and
Pompeii; and by all means do not fail
to take in Pompeii itself. If the ruins
at Rome are more impressive for their
grandeur, the Pompeiian ruins ere
likely to prove more absorbingly hui
man. Here you witness actual evil
dences of human life, and If you are
possessed Of even a modicum OF i'm
agination the whole thing Is capable
more or less of mental reconstruction.
And rs you look down OF the excellent
ly paved narrow streets, impressed un.
mistakably by ruts of wheels; the mar
row sidewalks, in good condition and
as good as those at Naples; and as
you examine the walls and interiors Of
the houses; and ever SO many EVIL
dences OF the pleasure-loving character
of the people, you cannot escape re-
f1ecting upon certain physical SEM
blances 1t has In common with Naples.
If you are a poet you are likely as not
to write comets to the present DESC
lation of the city. If o are a philoso-
pher you will perhaps reflect upon the
futility of things, the inevitable cycles
of time, the eternal occurrences OF his
tory. II you are a moralist with ortho-
dox tendencies-and an ak to grind
you will think of Sodom, you will think

HOLD ON TO GOOD BREEDERS
Pigs From Laroe-Bodied, Old sows
Number More and Often Double
In Size When Farrowed.

Sows should be retained for a num-
Der OF years until their places can be
flied with their equals.
1t ia we'll known that the progeny
from mature parents are superior to
those descended from young progeni.
tors not fully developed. Bears and
sows for breeding should be kept in a
good thrifty condition but not fat.
The writer has always been trou-
bled to keep his breeding sows from
becoming too fat and consequently
narrowing q small number OF scrawny
pigs.
I once took q large SOW to fatten
for one-half the pork. I did not know
h was with pig and fed her all tho
would eat.
Imagine my astonishment and vexa-
ton when she had three little dwarfed
piss-not only smaller thar pigs usual
ly are when irst farrowed, but ema-
ciated.
Sows for breeding should not be al
lowed to run with the fattening hogs
fed on corn but kept in a pasture BY
themselves and given a plentiful sup
ply Of slop made Of equal parts Of
wheat shorts. corn meal and wheat
bran.
Most young sows will breed when
three months old If allowed to I'll
with a boar. but eight or twelve
months is as young as is judicious to
breed them.
The pigs from large-bodied, old sows
will be more in number and frequently
double the size OF pigs from young
sows when narrowed, and this with the
same feed and care and will frequent
ly weigh 80 per cent more at a year
old.
Not only this, but it stunts or
dwarfs the growth of such young
things permanently and they never at

Good Showing Made by Enlisted Men

than the manner in which this particu-
lar man has bucked up and within a
comparatively brief period changed
the personnel of the sailors to as fine
as that of any in the world.
Here is an example worth repeating.
Six years ago an officer, who Is now OH
board the cruiser Washington, was in
charge of a liberty party of, ESQ men In
New York who had shore leave for
t~wenty-four hours. At the expiration
OF that time less than half Of them
were in a fit condition to return to the
ship. They had gotten themselves
into all sorts of trouble. Last summer
the same officer took an equal number
of men ashore at New York. 1t was a
liberty party In exactly the conditions
of the previous one. But 1t served to
illustrate what a change had taken
place In the navy in these compare
lively few years. Every man returned
to the landing ut the appointed time.
Instead Of passing their time brawling
about. as had been the fashion in the
time before, 1t was ascertained that
these men had attended theaters and
gone to the museums-in short had
seen the city in the way any ordinary
red-blooded Citizen might who had
that interval to spend in New York.

tons, trophies, had all become con-
founded in my recollection, though
had scarcely taken my foot Off the
threshold. What. thought I, is this
vast assemblage of sepulchers but a
treasury of humiliation, a huge pile OF
reiterated homilies on the emptiness
Of renown and the certainty Of obliv-
ion! 1t Is indeed the empire Of Death
his great shadowy palace, where he
sits in state, hooking at the relics OF
human glory and spreading dust and
forgetfulness on the monuments OF
princes. How idle a boast, after all.
Is the immortality of a name! Time
Is ever silently turning over his pages;
we are too much e%ngrossed by the
story of the present to think of the
characters and anecdotes that gave
interest to the past and each age Is a
volume thrown aside to be speedily for
goGten. The idol of today pushestheh hero

successor Of tomorrow. Our fathers"

Baby Finger Prints System Favored

IF an increase in the number of aban-
], doned infants In the city should oc-
cur, it is more than likely that there
will be adopted by the district au-
thorities a system of finger print
Identification of all infants born In
public institutions. Such a system is
now in use in New York, and other
cities are contemplating its adoption.
The results have proved encouraging,
The system has the Endorsement of
Dr.. William G. Woodward, district
health officer, and George S. Wilson.
secretary of the board of charities.
The only thing which stands in the
path Of the adoption Of the finger print
Identification system in the national
capital is the small number of cases
OF abandoned children. 1t is hardly be-
lieved that the number would Justify
the Introduction Of the scheme, which
would entail the expenditure OF a rath-
er large amount of money.
1.-THE plan is an excellent one" said
DR.. Woodward. ut has been given an
extensive trial in New York city. Re-
ports of the experiment as made pub
lie in recent numbers Of certain maya
zines show that the system is a sue
cess"
II am heartily in favor Of the finger
print SYSTEM" said Mr.. Wilson, sbut l
do not think that the small number Of
abandonment cases in the city justifles
the adoption Of the system. I have
been giving much consideration lately
