THREE CITY BATHS OPEN
FOR THE PUBLIC TO-DAY

Three city lighthouses. under the
direction of the Fairgrounds Com
mission, We're opened to the public
today. Under the supervision Of the
secretary, j. Leonard Mason, the
baths have been renovated and put in
excellent condition. Those opened
were the Summer avenue, Walnut
street and the Morris avenue.
For sanitary reasons the pools in all
three houses have for the present
been abandoned. They were con-
demned some time ago as being I'M
sanitary ana disease IN
stead, there are shower baths that
are sanitary in every particular. An
other innovation this year is the
abolition of bathing suits.
Separate compartments are made
under aeach of the showers, screened
by white muslin. In lieu of suits
each bather will be provided with q
large sheet of unbleached muslin
sufficient to cover the body, which
will be worn from the lockers to the
showers. These sheets are sanitary
and can easily be laundered.
Every endeavor will be made by the
commission to put the various pools
into shape for use in the near fu-
ture.

.SCHWAB TELLS OF
GENESIS OF TRUST
Testifies at Steel Dissolution
Suit About Famous Dinner
Talk With Morgan.

NEW YORK, May 19.-Charles M.
Schwab, president of the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation and first president
of the United States Steel Corpora
ton, took the stand today as a wit
ness for the defense in the govern
ment suit to dissolve the latter cor
poration.
Mr.. Schwab described the famous
dinner given him in 1899 by promi-
nent financiars, at which Schwab
made plea for consolidation in the
steel industry on the ground of
economy.
Mr.. Schwab sat next to j. P. Nor
gan at the dinner and today he de-
scribed the conversation he had with
him Mr.. Schwab said he explained
to Mr. Morgan that a combination of
certain steel companies would bring
about a completely integrated or
ganizatione which would have the adj
vantages of the possession of raw
materials. transportation and plants
which would enable it ito conduct
the business from the mining of ore
and coal right through to the manu-
facture and sale of every finished
product
II also pointed out to him, he
said, "that only by combination could
export business be made profitable.
Probably more than anything else
impressed upon him the advantages
of combining for the sake of estab-
fishing an export trade"

cused of having sent a threatening

SLUTZKY LATHERED FOR
SHAVE; TAKES FUGITIVE

County Detective louis Slutzky, of
the prosecutors office, was being
shaved. Thereby hangs a tale. His ia
vorite barber had just lathered his
face and was stropping a razor when
Slutzky. who by means of a mirror
had been looking at the passersby on
the outside, jumped up and grabbed
a towel. Hastily wiping the lather
from his face, he rushed into the
street, leaving the astonished barber
staring at the empty chair.
But there was method in Slutzky' s
hasty exit He approached a man
who was slowly walking up the street
and with Chesterfieldian politeness
told him he was under arrest. He
took the prisoner back to the barber
shop. told him to remain seated until
he had been shaved and then took
him to the Fourth Precinct Court.
Slutzky had been looking for man
by the. name of Karl Kempf, 50 years
old, who was fugitive from justice
from Newburg, n. Y. since last No
vember Kempf is alleged to have
struck Morris Cohen, of Newburg,
over the head with an iron weapon.
causing serious scalp wound Slutz-
ky had Kempfs description, and
when he passed the barber shop his
doom was sealed Judge Herr in the
Fourth Precinct Court today ordered
that Kempf be remanded until extra
dition papers are procured, when he
will be taken to Newburg to answer
an assault and battery charge. Kempf
has been living in Forest street, Or
ange, since he came from Newburg.

CHILD, FAR FROM HOME,
AIDED BY KIND STRANGER

Elma Coles, II years old, of 456
South Sixteenth street. and a little
companion started from her home
yesterday afternoon for walk.
When they reached Central avenue
and Grove street, Elma's companion
decided to start for home again.
Elma refused to go. She kept on walk
ing, and after walking two blocks
found that she had lost her way.
BY the time she reached Main and
Day streets, Orange, tears gathered
in her eyes. Weary and footsore she
sat on doorstep and fell asleep. A
kind-hearted woman seeing her, woke
her and after hearing the little wan
derer's story gave her some money
and directed a conductor on a trolley
car to show the child the way to her
home.
Mrs. Coles in the meantime had
notified the police of her daughters
disappearance. Just as her father
was about to leave the house to aid
in the search, Elma walked in. With
out word about supper and too
happy for words she fell asleep in
her mothers arms.

ciety doings, and much interest in
social conditions in the city. In
stead of spending her time calling
on and cumming with the wives of
the diplomats, she has done most of
her calling in the hospitals and in
situations.
Men and women who have been
trying to get something done about
the alley problem had little difficulty
in arousing Mrs. Wilson's interest in
the subject. She made a visit, with
other women, to some of the most
suualid and disreputable of the
courts and alleys Then she went
again, and on her second trip she
took with her a number of members
of Congress, some of the men who
have been in Congress for years and
didn't know there were such places
in the capital.
Mrs. Taft, Mrs. Roosevelt and
other first ladies of the land have
given literally to charities in Wash
ington. Mrs. Wilson is the first wife
of a President who has herself gone
into the slums, seen for herself the
filth, disease, vice and degeneracy
that exist in these foul corners of
the nations capital city, and taken
an active part in seeking to put an
end to these conditions.
Some of the rookeries and shaeks
in Goat alley. Pig alley, and other
bypaths and hidden plague spots of
the capital are mere boxes, holes in
the wall, heaps of debris. Yet in
them people live.
And through these alleys Mrs Will
son went and into the novels and
rookeries and learned for herself
what poverty really is, and the close
relation which exists between ex-
IRENE poverty, crime, disease, vice
and death.

He and two other Americans, along
with six Mexicans, were made pris-

the battle between the Constitution
alists and Huerta followers at Rio
Braves. They were charged by the
Constltutionalists with being spies,
were court-martialed and sentenced
to death. The Americans were lined

ELECTION CHARGES
STIR CHURCHMEN
Accusation That DR.. Stone Was
Named Moderator by Poll
tics Arouses Presbyterians.

| ATLANTA, Ca. May 19-Reproduc-
ton in Atlanta today of a story in a
New York newspaper, charging that
the election of John T. Stone, of Chi
cago, as moderator of the Northern
Presbyterian General Assembly, was
the result of deep laid political
scheme" threw that assembly into. a
| turmoil of excitement DR.. Stone him
self took the floor. He said that he
had not seen the publication and
begged that the article be overlooked
as an error of judgment"
william r. Ellis, of Pennsylvania,
who seconded DIR. Stones nomination,
denounced the story as untrue.
Commissioners to all the assemblies
of the big branches of Presbyterian
ism resumed their work today with
indications that the present weeks
labors would develop some of the
most important actions yet taken in
the matter of committee reports and
the settlement of many questions
brought up in overtures from a
country wide constituency.
In the Northern Assembly the pro-
ceedings today were marked by the
publication of majority reports by the
committee appointed to consider diff
ferences between the church and the
Union Theological Seminary of New
York city.
Since all relations between the in
stitution and the church which
founded it were broken off because
of the alleged heretical beliefs of
members of the seminary faculty. it
has been expected by many Presby-
terrain laymen that an amieable ad-
justment mutually benefieially might
be arranged. and to this view the ma
Jority of the committee agreed, ask
ing for another years time. In two
majority reports. however, the task
is regarded as hopeless.
Dr. Frank c. Monfort, of Cincin-
natl, submitted a minority report in
which he declared that members of
the faculty of the Union Theological
Seminary had failed to answer inn
portant questions regarding their be-
lief and that the answers they had
given indicated that they had no
right to be recognized as orthodox
Presbyterians.
