MOVING VAN HELPER LIFTS
EVERYTHING, INCLUDING $40

Mrs. Nellie Zeger hired a moving
man to move her furniture to her
new fiat at Tyler street and New
York avenue. today. The moving man
had a helper that was a wonder.
Nothing was impossible for him. He
just lifted the stove and a bed at
once and carried them to the moving
van.
Alex Petruska-that was the
helper-simply astonished his en-
ployer by his lifting powers. After
the stove and bed he took the chairs,
tables and the refrierator. Then, ac-
eording to Mrs. zeger. he threw the
tack litter out of the window with a
grunt of disgust, and calmly pro-
ceeded to lift the tacks in the parlor
carpet with his thumb nail.
The modern Sandow had been doing
the work of block and fall all
morning, when a little object proved
his undoing. 1t had him stopped for
a moment. but did he lift it? Well!
He did make a lift-his last-and then
he skipped out the back door and
over a fence.
Five minutes later Mrs. Zeger was
in the Third Precinct Court relating
to Judge Hahn the fable of the strong
man.
He had lifted Mrs. zeger's pocket
book, with $40!

Miller, with whom the couple board,
and Mrs. Jennie Withers, a neigh
Dor. They tried to separate Mrs
Mackin from the clutches of her hus-
band. Mrs. Mackin, believing she
held her husbands arm, proceeded to
sink her teeth into it. She did not
release her jaws until she was in
formed in loud and piercing tones
that she was biting her would-be
rescuer, Mrs. Withers.
AS a result of the struggle, Mrs.
withers was obliged to visit the City
Hospital and have her arm treated.
Mrs. Mackin in court today explained
through her counsel. Francis Child,

DROP MEDICAL INSPECTION
IN PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS

Forced by a cut in it's appropria-
ton to curtail it's expenditures, the
Board of Health in an executive ses-
sion behind closed doors yesterday
decided to do away with medical in
spection in the parochial schools after
August l.
This step, it was explained today,
has been contemplated for some time
past because of alleged friction. 1t is
alleged further that the inspection
has never been success. BY this
move five physicians lose a side line
which paid them $40 a month. This
curtailment alone will not make up
the cut in the budget, which amounts
to about $4,000.
1t is evident that the board men,
bers felt in an economical mood yes
terday, as the staff of district physi-
clans was reduced from twelve to six.
This position also pays $40 a month.
It was explained, however, that this
move was in the interests of eff
cheney as well as economy. 1t is
understood that it is planned to even
tually reduce the staff to four physi-
clans and increase the present salary.
There will be another meeting of
the board before August, when it will
be decided Just who of the present
district physicians will be dropped.

the purpose Of voting on the question
of whether or not the strike was to

ing, which lasted nearly three hours,

favoring the cessation of the strike.
Those who wanted to prolong the
struggle prevailed upon the chairman
to declare the vote off, claiming that
but a small proportion of the workers
were present. II was announced
that another meeting will be held for
the purpose of taking a second vote
to continue or discontinue the strike

Owner in Pathetic Plight.
Nothing more pathetic than the
sight of the venerable mill owner to-
day might be pictured. He threw
optn the doors of his pretty white
and :. buff house in Pine street and
sent forth word that he wished to see
all the girls who were able to come
to him. Ten years have added themr
selves to his face and figure. STOPPED
trembling and most of the time I'M
able to speak. he received "his girls"
one by one as they came to his home.
Late in the afternoon little Helen
McNulty, the telephone operator,
came in shyly and with her hands ex-
tended. The old man tried t. rise
and failed. his arms Strengthened
toward the pretty girl and tears
flowed down his cheeks in torrent
1.-The fire did not get you. Helen,
child" he sobbed. 'Oh. how gladly
l would die if ! could see all the
other girls come in with you"
And Helen, like all the rest, touched
the old mans hand reverently and
went out. A more beloved employer
has never existed.
According to all the girls seen so
far the floors of the building were
we'll oil-soaked the lubricatlng oil
from the machinery and the belt
shafts had soaked almost the entire
floor.
Helen McNulty, the telephone oper-
ator, is one of the girls who say that
the floors were oil-soaked, and Mr..
Freeman does not deny 1t.
He says that all the lint and scraps
of wooden and cotton goods were
swept up every day and carried out
of the building. The oil-soaked floors,
he says, were undoubtedly ready prey

bring the institutions of this repub-
lie into deadly peril and possible
overthrow.
ut makes the situation only more
alarming that one of such high ideals
and patriotic purposes should do any
thing that can reasonably be con-
strued to be a usurpation of power
or an infringement of the constitu-
ton that may some time be appealed
to as a precedent by one less con-
scientious and patriotic.
In an effort to prove that tariff re-
duetions by the new Democratic bill
bear no relation to actual conditions
of competition, Senator John w
Weeks, of Massachusetts. today read
to senators an inventory of the for
eign foods, supplies and furniture
they were using about the Senate
chamber.
The ink wells, he said, were made
in Austria. The bone letter openers
in France, the hair brushes in Eng
land or Japan. The Senate station

and souvenir postcards with pictures
of Washington's public buildings
were sold in the Capitol with the i'm
print of German manufacturers on
them.
Senator Weeks attacked the Demo-
cratic bill on the ground that it
would not reduce the cost of living,
curb the power Of the trusts, nor
stimulate healthy competition. Re-
duction in prices, he said would be
followed by an equal reduction in
worlSingmen's incomes.
Secretary Redfield's announcement
that any close of American factories
would be investigated by the gov
eminent, Senator Weeks attacked as
a suggestion intended to, as far as
possible, coerce American manu-
facturers to continue running their
plants without reduction of wages
and without regard to net results
obtained.

PIANO-PHONOGRAPH CASE
SETTLED NICELY BY COURT

The war between a phonograph
owned by Harry Solomon, OF III Gin
ton avenue, and two pianos owned
by DIR. Siegfried Husserl, of 775 Gin
ton avenue, came to a conclusion IN
the Fourth Precinct Court today
when Dr. Husserl was arraigned be-
fore Judge Herr on a charge of hav-
ing disturbed the peace and quiet OF
the neighborhood by making unseem-
ly noises within the city limits.
The unseemly noises are said to
have originated from the doctors
two pianos. In opposition to the two
pianos, Mr.. S.lomon's monograph
was used to disturb the doctors quiet
by playing Waltz Me Around Again,
Willie" for hours at stretch.
This condition of affairs has been
in evidence in the fashionable CLINTON
Hill section, where both parties re-
side, for several months. On preVi-
Gus occasion Mr.. Solomon was or
dered to stop the photograph and he
did so. DR.. Husserl was also ordered
to stop the noise with his two pianos,
but, according to Solomon, the doctor
failed to abide by the order, and the
complaint followed
Judge Herr heard both sides of the
story today and when he heard that
Mr.. Solomon had placed Lis phono-
graph in the window across the alley
from the doctors music room FOR
the purpose of drowning the noise
of the pianos he dismissed the COM
plant, saying that both parties were
equally guilty and that both should
stop annoying each other. AS Mrs.
Husserl is a piano teacher it will be
necessary for her to remove her two
pianos from the room in which they
now are, in order to abide by the
Judges ruling. Mr.. Solomon said that
the monograph will nevermore dis
turb anyone as long as the pianos
and the noise" resulting therefrom
are kept out of hearing.

FINDS NEWARK NO PLACE
FOR HIS PERIODICAL JAG

A reputable physician from Ash
VILE, N. c., is on his way home from
this city today, convinced that "hav-
ing a good time" SO far away from
home can prove Just as disastrous as
if the spree took place among his
friends and neighbors. He is DIR.
David Wade, of 80 Oak street, Ash
vile, N. c.
At least that is the way he regis
tered at the Second precinct police
station last night when he was ar
rested on a charge of disorderly con-
duct. The North Carolinaian got into
dispute with a taxicab driver in
front of the Continental Hotel last
night, and before the two could seri-
ously damage each other Patrolman
Anderson interfered and arrested the
physician.
Brought before Judge Charles F.
Herr in the Second Precinct Court
today, the doctor explained that he
was on a periodical "jamboree.
Every once in a while he feels a
good time ;simmering in his system
and he must needs journey to New
York city, where his actions will
not hurt his medical practise, so
he told the court. Last night he was
winding up one of these sessions, he
related, and became intoxicated. He
requested taxi driver to take him
to the Continental Hotel. When he
arrived there he found that his
'roll' was gone and he had not the
wherewith to pay the taxi charges.
In the argument which ensued the
doctor came out second best and was
Jailed.
Judge Herr warned the doctor that
his antics did not become a man of
learning and responsibility. On the
promise of the Southerner to take
less of the cup that cheers, the court
sent the victim away under sus-
pended sentence.

AS STANLEY SUCCESSOR

1t is understood on good authority,
that Bernard J. Owens, of 352 Sanford
avenue, this city, may be appointed
to the vacancy of the Playground
Commission caused by the resigna-

of athletics, it is believed would be
of valuable assistance to the men,

ciety. and has been very active in
plotting the athletic affairs of that
organization in the Diocesan Union.
