MAN STARVED; WIFE DYING
Only Support of Family, a Girl
of IA, Not Allowed to Work.

Passaic y. j., May 21-John Dombal'
forty eight years old. died of starva-
ton. according TO an investigation
made by the authorities here to-day.
His death on Monday at No. a Sd
street revealed that his wife, an in
valid for three years, was near death,
due to the same cause. She is now in
st. Marys Hospital.
Boys found the man wandering in the
woods in Wellington a week ago. He
was in a pitiable condition. Neighbors
became interested in the family. but as
the section in which the Dombals lived
is one of the poorest of the city little
material aid could be given.
The plight of the family has been at
tributed by neighbors to the authori-
ties refusal to allow Dombars daugh-
ter TO work. The girl. Nellie. who was
the only support of the family. was
sent back to school because she was
under age. Dombal had been Ill for
some time and unable to work.
The Dombals had three children.
John, seventeen: Nellie. fourteen. and
Mary. six. The boy disappeared soon
after his parents became i'll and moth
ing has since been heard from him.
Then to keep the family alive Nellie
was placed at work. but authorities
discovered her and she was taken out
and sent to school, This cut off the
family's entire support Both parents
were too i'll to attempt work again.
Neighbors stated to-day that MT
Dombal was arrested and sent to the
county Jail for ten days for failure TO
send his daughter to school At the
end Of the fourth day he was found 10
be too i'll, and released. This. how
ever, was denied by the police. VINO

From The Tribune Bureau. J

Washington. May 2l.-To save the polit-
ical faces of the Western Senators who
find themselves between the devil and
the deep sea" in revising the tariff the
Democrats are considering plan Of mod
flying the free sugar and wool schedules
OF the House when the measure reaches
the Senate. II is proposed TO place duty
of from 20 10 50 cents per 100 pounds on
sugar and 20 per cent on wool, with the
understanding that the amendments Will
be knocked out in conference between the
two houses.
This action is contemplated as a method
Of pacfying the Democratic voters from
the sugar and wool states who threaten
to cut short the political careers Of their
Senators if they support the administra-
tons effort 10 remove all duty on these
commodities. At least il Is so regarded
by the opponents of the measure, who
look on II as a sort of parliamentary
maneuvre TO hoodwink the voters into
believing the Western Senators are MAX
ing a determined fight 10 save the indus
tries Of their states from injury and pos
sibe destruction.
II IS not the purpose Of the Democrats
10 make a permanent change In the sugar
and wool schedules. according 10 the Re-
publcans. II is expected that the House
will not consent TO a duty on sugar and
wool. and that the Senate amendments
will be thrown ont In conference. The
Western Senators will then be called on
to choose between defeating revision or
accepting free sugar and wool, and will
capitulate with protestations that they
have exhausted all parliamentary re-
sources to save the wool and sugar in
