BOY, 16, ESCAPES
THROUGH TRANSOM|
Held at Police Headquarters,
Makes Daring Break for
Freedom.

Fred Walters, 16 years old, a run
away from Philadelphia, whoswas de-
tained in the witness room at police
headquarters awaiting word from
his home, made his escape about
noon today by climbing over the
transom,
The youth entered headquarters last
night and told Lieutenant Quinn OF
his suffering and other hardships
which he had undergone since he
ran away from the home of his
grandmother last Saturday, and re-
quested that he be returned. He was
given food and placed in the witness
room, where he could get a comfor-
table nights lodging, and today Chief
corbitti wired to the superintendent
Of police of Philadelphia that he had
the boy.
He was provided with breakfast
this morning. and at II o'clock today
he was talking with Doorman Bald
win to whom ne expressed great
satisfaction over the fact that he was
to be sent home.
Within half an hour after the door
mans departure he evidently was
seized with a longing for further ad-
venture and decided TO make a get
away. He showed the bed to the
door and climbing over the head
board, managed to crawl through
the transom and let himself down
into the hall. Once there escape was
easy. The door leading into the cor
ridor is never locked and he walked
to freedom.
The youth. VINO is well dressed and
appears as though he was well cared
for, told the police that his father,
who is an engineer. resided at 2017
cambridge street and that he worked
in a machine shop. His excuse for
leaving was that he was tired of
Philadelphia and wanted to see
something of the world. and that he
had worked his way to Newark on a
boat.

MOB OF 400 GATHERS IN
FRONT OF TAILORING SHOP
Clash With Non-Unionists Re-
suits in Storming of CAM
den Street Plant.

! Following a midnight attack upon
the tailor shop of Joseph Heisler, at
Fourteenth avenue and Bergen
street, striking garment workers this
afternoon stoned the factory of San
toro & Salomine, at 249 Camden
street. One arrest was made.
The strikers broke many windows
in the Heisler shop and were dis
persed by the police.
Those who attacked the shop Of
Santoro & Salomine numbered nearly
400 They went there shortly after
noon following a clash with four
non-union workers employed by the
firm. Policemen from the Fourth
precinct were summoned. They ar

Former Senator Everett Colby and

few days have been investigating the
grievances of the striking garment
workers. again visited the headquar-
ters, 107 Broome street, today for the
purpose Of finishing their examination
of the employees of Benedict & Wen
din, one of the larger manufacturers
of this city. Later they will inquire
into the conditions of the employees
of Joseph Heisler. probably the larg-
est manufacturers in the city.
With the promise of these two man
ufacturers that they would submit tc
an examination of their books, i
| affidavits were produced showing al
| average earning below the living

ments prepared. 1t is his intention
/ to go over the books of the manu-
facturers in company with an exper'
| accountant hired by himself for th'
purpose If permitted to do SO.
While the strikers are thankful 4
Mr.. Colby and. Miss Jaynes for tn
Interest they have so far manifested
lfns their cause, they are inclined &
believe that no direct results will b
i Forthcoming. Some of the leader
said today that they did not believ
that the larger manufacturers woul'
Isubmit to an examination of thei
books. Then. too, they pointed out
that even if they did, not mucl
would be accomplished. as all th
agreements have to be signed b.
the big houses in New York.
The continuance of the strike ha
necessitated q continual drain on tn
finances of the union, and the treas
ury has Become sadly depleted. Th'
leaders are afraid that they will hav'
very hard time holding the men il

to the strikers today, when 1t wal

ANAcoNDA WORK
Making Important. Experiments .ir
 Treatment of Tsilines

Notwithstanding the eff. ciency of it's big concentrating mills, the Anaconda Copper Go. has long sought some economical method to stop the loss of copper in it's tail ings. This less may be roughly placed at u pounds per ton Of ore. in Ti5~ of the rising tendency of labor and copper costs, all of the big copper mining companies have been com pelled to keep their engineers and experts businly experimenting. to re duce if possible the amount of copper which has escaped out into the dumps.
 The whole copper mining frater- nity has long deplored the excessive loss of copper in milling operations. but has been unable to devise any practicable methods calculated to save more than a very small percent age cf this copper.
 The Anaconda Co. has constructed an seton mill for the treatment of taiIings by a Ieacbing process. Al though the management has not pro ceeded far enough to make possible any definite promises as to ultimate results. the expectation is that the process, which has been devised by Anaconda engineers, and which has been giving a good account of itself iR a small experimental try-out will reduce the loss of copper to not over two pounds per ton of ore, and at a cost which will not greatly exceed six cents per pound of copper recovered Of course a large part of the expenses. such as mining, hoisting, etc, has al ready been charged against the major operation.
 If present expectations are realized, the experiments which are now be- ing made will constitute one of the most vitally important developments in the history of the Butte camp, as it will mean the reclamation of a very large amount of copper now being lost in the tailings. Incidentally, An
