CHARITY BUREAU
ASKS FOR FUNDS
Society Seeks Contribution to
Buy Dinner Baskets for
Needy.

Appealing for the many families for
whom Christmas threatens to be
without cheer or gladness, the Bureau
of Associated Charities submits the
following as few cases representa-
tive of many which 1t is without funds
to provide for, without help from the
general public.
One family consists of widow with
six children. The woman earns an in
sufficient livelihood by doing laundry
work. What chance have these six
youngsters to enjoy the Christmas
cheer, which is the fondest hope of
every American child?
A man hopelessly ell with heart
trouble is unable to provide for his
wife and four children with any of the
little Christmas luxuries that their
more fortunate neighbors enjoy. The
principal support of this family is the
$3.50 wage of the oldest boy.
A boy and girl, scarcely old enough
to work, are making their puny eff
forts to support their mother and
four younger brothers and sisters
whom the commitment of the hus-
band and, father to an insane asylum
has left without other support.
A father dangerously ill in the City
Hospital leaves seven children, rang
ing in age from thirteen years to a
few weeks to the care of mother,
who has been recently disabled by an
accident to her foot.
The 14-year-old son of poor widow
is afflicted with tuberculosis and
looks forward to a dreary and cheer
less Christmas. The woman Is UNI
able to earn enough for the support
of herself and son. ss.s
To three small children whose
father is in the Glen Gardner sani-
tarium Santa Claus threatens to re-
main as distant and unrealistic as his
home at the North Pole.
These families are but few of
those which the Bureau of Associated
Charities hopes-to provide with Christ
mas dinners. The regular relief fund
of the society is not sufficient to meet
the demand for the extra Christmas
expenditure, and it is forced to ask
contributions from outsiders
The dinners are generously but
economically put up in baskets, at a
cost of slightly over So each. In every
case they include, a freshly killed
chicken. Readers of the Star whose
homes are bright. with the blessing OF
Yuletide cheer and plenty will en-
brace this opportunity of aiding their
less fortunate neighbors.

Woman iii in Bed Over the
Disappearance of Daughter

: Genevieve Woodbridge, eighteen
years of age, of 44O Bank street, has
been missing from her home since No
vember IL. AS a result of worry over
the girls disappearance her mother,
Mrs. Michael Brady, is Ill and under
The care of a physician.
No reason can be ascribed to the
girls leaving. She was employed for
some time in the Westinghouse plant,
Watsessing. The day after she left
home she wrote postal card to her
mother, saying she was leaving home
and urging her mother not to worry.
She authorized her mother to draw
her salary at the Westinghouse plant.
The fact that the girl had COM
Portable home and never at any time
had any differences with her parents
makes her actions in leaving home
puzzling to her mother and step
father. According to her aunt, Mrs.
J. A. Kauper, of Orange street, she
was a girl who stayed Strictly at
home, and her sudden change of de-
meanor cannot be accounted for.

Would FORCE MAN
FROM HIS TRADE
Sherman Law Involved in Ac-
ton Brought to Gust Elk
pressman from Job.

Can a man be held bound to an
agreement by which he virtually bars
himself from making a living at his
trade, and if the courts hold this
agreement valid how is the said
tradesman to support himself and
family? These are two of the ques-
lions which will be placed before Vice
Chancellor Emery for decision during
the next month.
The action in Chancery Court is
brought by Joseph Shapiro, who con-
ducts an express business between
Newark and New York He is apply
ing for a permanent injunction to re-
strain Samuel Morrison from working
for his brother, George Morrison, an
other express owner, with offices in
New York.
Shapiro bought the business from
Jacob Steinberg, who had as a part
ner Samuel Morrison, the defendant.
Steinberg purchased the business from
Samuel Taplitzky, the founder of the
concern. Taplitzky has appeared In
the local courts on numerous oeca-
sions during the past two years COM
planning about horse thieves and van
dals who burned his horses to death
with vitriol. The competition between
this class of eXpressmen has resulted
in numerous crimes.
Last March Shapiro bought the
business after he had secured an
agreement from the trio formerly in
terested in it. The agreement was
that they would refrain from Compel
ing with him. Samuel Morrison, the
defendant, has since entered the en-
p1oy of his brother George in New
York. The defendant has made an
affidavit in which he swore that he
tried to break away from the express
business on many occasions during
the past ten years, but has been I'M
a BILE to find another occupation at
which he was competent enough to
support himself and family.
Shapiro is represented in the action
by Louis Hood, now prosecutor or
this county, and William X. Flana-
gan, a law partner of Mr.. Hood, The
firms recent application Tor
temporary injunction restraining
Samuel Morrison from his. present
work failed in Chancery Court. IL
was then decided to bring suit to OBJ
tain q permanent injunction. This
latter application will be determined
after the merits of the case have
been heard.
The action is said to have been
brought because Shapiro found that
many customers which should have
been his by reason of his purchase
of the business, were being per-
suaded to transfer their business to
Samuel Morrison's brother The de-
PENDANT denies that he ever at
tempted any such persuasion.
Another interesting question which
has been brought into the suit by
Nathan H. Berger, counsel for Nor
rfson, is his contention that to hold
the agreement valid would be to
countenance restraint of interstate
commerce, in violation of the Sher
man antitrust law. This law is
undergoing important alterations,
according to the reports from Wash
ington, and any suit in which the
Sherman act is invoIved will prob
ably result in an immediate investi-
cation by the Federal department of
Justice.

To the Public:
This contest is conducted by the
Evening Star for it's ultimate benefit,
but in the interest of it's readers,
This may sound paradoxical, but let
me explain. We hope in the end TO
gain-to gain many more regular
readers because we issue a mighty
good newspaper. If we gain con-
siderable number OF regular readers
it will be worth the $4,000 we will
give away in prizes. We conduct the
contest In the interest of our readers
because any fair-minded person can
see that If we did not we would Kill
the very object which the contest is
designed to accomplish. There VIII
always be a certain number of dis
believers = those who cry rake.
These we eliminate In the very be-
ginning. The contest Is strictly "on
the level" and, being conducted in
the interest of our readers, | invite
questions regarding points which do
not seem clear to you. L am always
more than glad to answer, although
the rules carefully. The answer to
your question may be there.
Proverb Editor:
Having read your answer to H. 6.
Kraft in today's Star. want to say
that YOUR view in the matter would
be right II there would be only two
parties tie for each prize, but, as you
know well that there are apt to be
q great many, / side partly with III.
c. Kraft.
Surprising there are 200 ties for the
first prize. According to your idea, 19s
of them would draw FOR the second
prize. Then 1893 would draw for the
third prize, etc. What chance then
would the last ones have that de-
served the first prize, and what would
those get that deserved the second
prize. To my estimation, and also
good many others, the right thing
would be to divide and not draw.
also claim that the contestant that
solves each picture with one answer
deserves more than those that put
two or more answers. Would be
pleased to hear II the above explana-
''o''' - A. r. mitchell.
In my answer to H. G. Kraft / said
that 1t would be up to the judges tC
decide the method of settling a tie
In all probability the judges will con-
fer with the tied contestants and de-
eide 1t In the way that best suits
| them.
Every contestant has the same
privilege of submitting various an.
swers to the several proverbs. And
If one contestant solves them all cor
rectly with only one answer to each
he has done so by merest luck, be-
cause no one knows which version OF
the several has been taken to illus
trate the proverbs.

have been watching the paper

Now, what want to know is whether
the owl takes any part in the prov
cribs or answers. And, another thing,
| was in the book contest which you
had while in your Broad street office,
and when went to put my answers
in there was a woman putting hers in

The owl has no particular signifi-
canoe in itself, but what 1t says has
some bearing upon the correct solu-
tion.. 1t may furnish a clue to the
entire answer Consider thoroughly

Baby blue ribbon never won a prize
1t is unnecessary. Correct answers
only are what count.

warmth of that reception caused In part
by confidence in him, in part by SYM
patty with man who has been at
tackled and beaten by strong force and
in part by thorough disgust with an or
ganization which rules the great city in
grasp of iron. The people of his home
district are, to use the words of the New
York Globe, vivid, eager, elemental, SEN
timental and, at the same time practi-
GAIA typical East Side district of the
metropolis-quick to resent injury to
one of their number and ready, there
fore. to elevate that one to high posi-
ton again as rebuke to the power
which tried to destroy him, politically
speaking. In view of such state of mind
among the voters of that district, it
seems that the Progressive party move
to nominate the deposed governor was
keen politics and likely to result in tri-
umphant election of Mr.. Sulzer TO the
New York Assembly as foundation for
that rehabiIitated official career which
he has expressed as his fondest hope at
the present time. Whether further adj
vancement, following election to the As
sembly, is possible for the discredited
man rests a great deal with himself and
the way he conducts himself in the As
sembly. Memory of the fact that he is
the first in list of AZ governors of New
York to I've removed from office will be
hard to down Moreover, if Mr.. Sulzer
seeks election to some higher position
than that Of assemblyman he will be
required to go before constituency
which is not composed of the same sort
of men as make up the sixth district
Racially, they will be quite different and
they will be further removed from that
intimate association which successful
office seeker hopes to have; they will
not have quite the same viewpoint as
the men of the sixth district in New
York City have at the present time.
Hence it appears that Mr.. Suffers rise
must be rather long drawn out at best.
