ACCUSE
JUDGES AS UNF AIR
Tell Mayor HaussIing They've
Been Wronged in Police
Courts.

"
That manufacturers control the
police courts was charged by dele-
cation of union men who called on
Mayor Haussling today
The Lidgerwood Manufacturing
Company. which figures in the IRON
moulders' strike; J. E. Benedict, of
Benedict & wedin. and Joseph
HeisIer. employers in the garment
makers strike ON the Hill, were
named as among those who exercise
such control Police Judges Herr and
Hahn were accused of discriminating
in favor of the employers against the
strikers.
The assertions of unfairness in ar
rests and fines and refusal in one
case of police judge to issue war
rant against one Of the Burns de-
teetives in the Lidgerwood case. who
is alleged to have held UP an IRON
moulder at the point of gun, caused
the mayor to express surprise. While
the chief executive upheld the char
acter of both judges and averred they
were above suspicion. he said he
would summon them and get their
side.
He invited the committee composed
of ten men, to return to his office
within two days, and said he would
then give his answer to the demand
for other methods of dealing with ths
labor troubles. fi
'I'll find out what's what, said
the mayor. THE police judges and
the police are probably acting as
their judgment dictates OF course,
we are likely to be mistaken some
times in our Judgment. Judge Hahn
and Judge Herr are both men whom
the Lidgerwoods. Benedict or Heisler,
or any other interest, Relieve, could
not influence in their action on the
bench
Chief Corbitt's refusal to permit
the striking garment-makers to pa
rade was another complaint lodged
with the mayer and one which the
latter promised to look into. Mr..
Haussling reminded the union men
that if parades were not allowed it
was not because the union men wera
feared but probably the chief felt
anxious about what m ght be done
by the enemies of the union.
Mortimer Lowy, counsel for the
union, who accompanied the commit
tee, told the mayor that in five cases
in which appeal had been taken the
action in Judge Hers court in fining
strikers had been set aside. The law
yer added that the fault lay with the
complaint rather than with the ac-
tion of the judges.
Henry Hilfers, of the Essex Trades
Council, who acted as spokesman for
the committee, told of the arrest of
strikers who were peacefully walking
along the streets. and insisted that
the action OF the police was at the
direction of the "bosses" He said
the union last week was forced to pay

BILL WILL REOPEN
CANAL ARGUMENT
Senator Root Would Eliminate
Provision Exempting Amer
ican Ships.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 14-Senator
Root today introduced a bill TO amend
the Panama canal act TO eliminate
the provision exempting American
coastwise ships from the payment of
tolls. The bill is expected to reopen
the entire question of Panama tolls
now at issue with Great Britain. and
to pave the way for new discussion
of the subject in the Senate.
Senator Root gave notice that he
would speak January q in support of
his bill, and it is understood that a
number of other senators viii follow
him with speeches both for and
against the proposed repeal.
Many members of the Senate have
declared recently that they favored
meeting Great Britain's objections to
the canal law by repeating the free
toll provision rather than submit the
whole subject to arbitration ON the
question of the right of the United
States to grant free passage to
American -owned ships. Senator Root
opposed the free toll provision when
the act was passed last summer. and
since then has favored either arbi-
tration or the striking out of the
clause.

WORD OF WAR IN
THE POWERS NOTE
Peace Delegates to Give Turkey
Ultimatum and End Their
Conference.

LONDON, Jan. 14.-The decision
definitely to break up the peace con-
ference in London simultaneously
with the presentation to the Turkish
government of the note of the Euro
pean powers was reached today by
the chiefs of the peace delegations of
the Balkan armies.
The resolution of the representa-
tives of Bulgaria, Greece, Montenegro
and Servia will be communicated to
the Porte in a formal note.
AT the same time it was decided
TO instruct the commanders of the
armed forces of the allies in the field
to terminate the armistice which has
been in operation since December g..
Since that date. hostilities between
Bulgaria and Servia ON the one side
and Turkey on the other have en-
tirely ceased. Greece, which did not
sign the armistice protocol. however,
has continued fighting against Tur-
key. both on sea and land, with vary
ing success.
Montenegro also, which was NOM
fnally a party to the armistice, has
been engaged in many severe slSir-
mishes with the troops forming the
garrison Of the Turkish fortress of
Scutari.
Conflicting reports as to conditions
in the great fortress of Adrianople
are current, but it appears evident
that the Turkish troops and inhabit-
ants of the city are suffering greatly
from disease and lack of supplies.
Before Tchatalja's lines defending
Constantinople there is great army
of BuIgarians who are strongly en-
trenched, and fronting them are large
bodies of Turkish troops.
The threatening note of the allies
to the Turks is to be worded in such
way that it will become effective
only in the event of the Ottoman
government refusing compliance with
the advice given by the ambassadors
of the European powers.
The members of the Balkan league
are of the opinion that the note
drafted by the European diplomats is
so diluted that 1t requires the admix-
ture of vitalizing tonic, and this,
they think. will be supplied by their
threat to continue hostilities.

WHAT NOT TO GIVE AT CHRIST.
MAS

Whips, swords and guns to chill
dren. Unless we want the children
to play whipping, dueling and fight
ing. Whips, swords and guns are
not gifts for children.
Rubber toy animals for the baby
to squeeze, and those which make a
noise when pinched. Unless we want
the baby to learn to squeeze the live
kitten until it cries.
A kitten or puppy is most insult
able for very small child. Unless
we want the child to enjoy hurting it,
though ignorantly.
A live goldfish. Unless we like
to see an animal slowly smothered
from lack of air, and think it will
be good training for the child to see
the fish gasp, and die a lingering
death.
Any live animal that must depend
upon young child for food and wa
ter should not be chosen for a gift.
A Gagged bird. Unless we think it
happy sight to have a bird prisoner
Unless we are sure it is a proper
sight for a child.
Books on hunting, robbery, MUIR
der and war. Unless we want the
child accustomed early to thoughts of
death and agony. Books can't be
judged at glance like toys and ami
mails. Books given to children should
first be read.
Choose. Give. But think.
