On a charge of breaking lead pipes
from three gas meters Carl Nelson,
an alleged wayward boy aged thir-
teen, Of 1T Fayette street, was ar
rested early last night and held to
appear before Judge DAILY. The lad
has often been accused of being in

for having taken lead pipe connec-
tions from meters in the cellar of a
tenement house in Madison avenue

them to a junk dealer. He was held
on a charge OF petty larceny pre-
ferred by Mrs. Cohen. An effort will

PLANT INSURE
EMPL0YE FREE
A. S. & R. Start PIan-- En-
courage Steady Workmsn.

To provide for the heirs of their
employees and to forge tighter the
bonds of friendly feeling between
the employe and the plant, and to
encourage him to stick to his job,
the American Smelling & Refining
Company has made arrangements
with company to insure the labor
ers of the local plant. The married
men will be insured in the amount OF
$1,000 and the single men in the
amount of $500.
This insurance will cost the men
absolutely nothing. 1t will affect
about 600 laborers of the local plant.
The only condition required of the
employe is that he shall have been
employed for at least year contin-
uously previous to the date of his in
surance policy.
Two men are now explaining the
proposition to the employees in the
different languages, and having those
that have been with the company
the required length of time, to sign
the policies of the insurance COM
pany. These policies are worded as
ordinary documents of that nature
and the signer is allowed to specify
in them to whom the money for
which he will be insured is to be
paid. No other clauses put them
under any obligations whatsoever
except that they have to remain with
the company. The policies hold good
whether the employe dies by acci-
dent or from natural causes.
This Is one of the first big compa-
nies to provide in this way for their
in which the workman has
no premiums or dues to pay at stated
periods. The smelling and refining
are trying the plan in other
plants of the corporation, and be-
lieve that 1t will conduce to bringing
about an ideal feeling between the
men and the plant when the en-
ployes see that the corporation is
in them individually.

CHANGE IN SENATE IF
CONVENTION WAS HELD
(From the NEWS Correspoadent.)

Trenton March 29.--The change
In representation in the State Senate
would have been revolutionary had
the Hennessy constitution bill passed
the Senate and been signed by Gov
ernor Fielder and had the conven-
tion created by 1t succeeded In get
ting the state constitution changed
so that the state senators would have
been elected by senatorial districts
on a population basis, instead of each
county having one senator. without
regard to population, as at present.
Computations were already being
made by North Jersey political lead
ers as to how the proposed new
method of electing senators would
work out to give them control of the
Senate, and 1t was the knowledge
of this figuring that helped mate
rally to kill the bill in the Senate.
1t Is likely there would have been
no changes In Mercer, Middlesex and
Union counties, as each of these
counties has a population approx
mating closely to the ratio given.
