BOSTON'S MAYOR
 WOULD CLOSE ALL
 LODGING HOUSES
Fitzgerald DepIOres Existence Of Fire Traps in
 Hub City.

Boston, Dec. 4-"Every one of those places should be closed. declared Mayor Fitzgerald after he had com pleted early today a tour of several hours among the cheap lodging houses in various sections of the city con- ducted along the lines of the Arcadia, where 2S men were killed in yester- days fire.
 The conditions" continued the mayor. ''are shameful. It is the duty of society to care for these unfortu- mates who are forced to seek such places for their lodging.
 Today am going to have a, con ference with the building commission CT and the corporation counsel and see if something cannot be done to safeguard the lives of the men who have to spend their nights in such places"
 He suggested the erection of model lodging houses by the city or state.
 District Attorney Pe1letier, who di- rected a, visit of the grand jury to the scene of the fire said that further in vestigatfon would be made by thai body next week and that witnesses would be summoned.
 t'The object of the investigation, D said the district attorney, 'is to gel at the real existing conditions in the lodging houses of the city. It will be the jury's duty to ascertain whether there has been any transgression o1 the law.''

BRIDGEPORT GETS FIRST TASTE OF
 ARGENTINE BEEF
Carload of South American Cattle Is Shipped Local
 Packing Houses.
ImpoPtations Are So Small In Comparison to Total Con sumption That No Eff feet On Market Is Ex-
 pected.

The first shipment. of Argentine. beef to reach Bridgeport, since the tariff bill removed the irnpost on beef from South America, is expected to arrive at the meat house of John. S. Wood hull. Water street, late today or to- morrow, A refrigerator car filled with beef, thirty carcasses of steers that not long since roved the plains of Argentine, will be available for the Bridgeport market with the arrival of this shipment.
 John S. Woodruff said the market prices of beef would not be affected by the shipments of the Argentine beef into this country, in his opin ion, for the amount shipped from South America, into this country is comparatively so little that 1t will have no perceptib1e effect on the sup ply The shipment is interesting, however, for it marks the first time that the Bridgeport butchers have had an opportunity to inspect the South American cattle.
 MT. Woodruff said the beef in ap- pearance Is much like the native grown Connecticut stock, which of late years is very little known in the eastern market. As to the quality of the meat, he was doubtful whether it was any better than the western stock.
 '"The meat looks like the Conec- 1CuC grown CaLLl6, Sa1d MT. w OOd- hull "The fat is whiter than the western stock. But don't know that it is any better than the western grown product"
 Dispatches from New York announc- ed the arrival Monday of the refriger- ator ship ZimaI with 12,0Oo quarters Of beef aboard. This is consumed practically in it's entirety in New York city, but one refrigerator car load was shipped to the local packing house.
 New York packers say the Argen- tine shipments may have been some what effective in preventing the up- | ward trend of beef prices, but they predicted, today, that the Mexican situation may result in an advance, for the shipments of Mexican beef have fallen off greatly. They say the Argentine beef is not high grade, be- l ing the average run of range cat l tie.

 BUDGET.
 Washington, Dec. FDiscussion of a
 budget and of new constitution for the National American Woman Suf- frage association, the sending of a committee to urge President Wilson
 to send a message to Congress ask ing immediate consideration of a wo- man suffrage amendment and election of officers for the ensuing year were the features on today's program of the associations convention in 45th
 annual session here. Debate over the adoption of a new
 constitution centered around the pro posed method of raising the money
 among the state and other affiliated organizations to carry the work
 of the national body. r The states rights question was i'm
 vo1ved in the discussion, many of | the delegates fearing that state and local suffrage bodies would be weak
 ened if the national organization were

THE REAL JOKE LEFT OUT.

A majority of the London papers give a. curious and perhaps significant misreport of the amusing personal ex- perience related by Ambassador Page at the American Society's Thanksgiv- ing dinner. He described picturesque Iy how as he was sitting in a lovely English garden with an eminent Eng fish peer exchanging genial after lunch condolences he came to ask the peer, What could America best learn from England %
 The peer, hoping MT. Page would not be offended, answered, ''Modesty.' '' The Thanksgiving company laughed heartily, and there the London news paper report of the anecdotes ended. The real point was that the Ambassa- dor, when the laughter had ceased, created further outburst by saying, '.I see you see the humor of that re- mark coming from an Englishman.'' ''- New York World.

A SARCASTIC MICHIGAN JUDGE.


 ''Serious as is your offense, you need not look upon the dark side of your future because of the length of this sentence. There is no prison in Mich igan that will long hold an embedding banker who has wealthy and inf1uen- tial friends"
 With this statement Judge Smith of the Circuit Court at Pontiac, Mich, startled the crowd that packed his court room as he pronounced sentence upon Ralph B. Jossman, defaulting cashier of the Jossman State Bank at Clarkston. Jossman pleaded guilty to the embezzIement of $5O,000 to S2OO,OO0 of the banks funds.
 There is no reason for you to de- spair," Judge Smith informed the prisoner in a voice bristling with sar- casm. Three releases of statewide notoriety within a few years prove this If banker in a neighboring village can wreck two banks, cripple a third, embezzle the funds of his viii lage as treasurer, add forgery to his offense and then obtain an early re- lease as a Christmas present, you have nothing to fear
 The court evidently referred to the pardoning of Mark Lee Hagle, late of Oxford, Mich, convicted and sen fenced for embezzlement.
 stThe fashionable and sugar-coated name for your offense is that of bor- rowing the funds of your bank Judge Smith continued. '"Fhe common name for 1t is embezzlement, and some of the depositors term it plain stealing. g."-Kansas City Times.

WOMEN WILL BRAVE MOROS IN EFFORT
 TO SPREAD GOSPEL

New York, Dec 4.-The departure to- morrow of Mrs. Lori1lard Spencer and Miss Virginia Young, head deaconess of St. Georges Protestant Episcopal church of this city, to conduct mis- sion work in the Island of JoIo in the Philippine archipelago, attracts more interest than ordinarily attaches to such venture because of recent trou- ble among the Moro trfb esmen of Jolo who have lately made armed resistance to the advance of civilization.
 Mrs. Spencer and Miss Young spent a portion of last winter in the Philip pines where they became very much interested in the work Bishop Brent has been doing among the non-Chris- tian tribes. They already have en- gagged a house in the native village just outside the walled city of Jolo where they will be Joined later by two young women, a trained. nurse and a manual instructor.
 They will begin with settlement work, offering to Moro children the rudimentary principles of education and sanitation.
