of Single Shutdown Now

WASHINGTON, Dec 1s.-The de-
partment OF commerce under the d.
rection of Secretary .Redfleld will
make an investigation Into the clos

rection of investigating industries
that lay off men or curtail production
seemingly on account of the workings
of the tariff.
At present he has under way an In
vestigation of the pottery industry,

WOMAN HELDFOR
Prosecuting GIRL
Head of Employment Agency
Arrested on Complaint of
Anna Hanaohek.

When Anna Hanachek, q Slavish
girl, eighteen years old, arrived in
this country seven weeks ago she had
only visions of a comfortable home
and happiness.
Upon landing she went directly to
her brother-in-law's home in Easton,
Pa. On the second day in her new
home she secured a position as a
servant with a family by the name
of Cook, living at 200 Mccartney
street. After working there for three
weeks she was discharged. She then
came to Newark and went to the en-
p1oyment agency conducted by Mrs.
Rebecca Recon. at 1856 Springfield ave-
nue..
Mrs. Recon sent her to the home of
l. Nauhauser, 2S Bridge street, where
she remained for two weeks. At the
end Of that time Mrs. Recon called
to see her, saying that the police of
Easton We're after her for stealing a
valuable lavalliere from the Cook
family and that she must collect what
wages she had coming and leave her
place. The Hanachek girl received
$6 which were due her, Mrs. Recon
requiring her to give her 50 for, as
she claims, services rendered.
The girl was then sent to do house
work for Charles Calm, a clothier, of
III South Orange avenue. This was
on the first of December. Monday
night Calm received a telephone call
saying that the girl he had hired was
a thief.
Tuesday Mrs. Recon came to the
store and asked to see the girl After
speaking to the girl for a while she
went away, taking the girl with her.
That was the last Calm saw of her
until yesterday morning, when the
Hanachek girl came to his store and
told him that she had slept in the en-
ployment agency all night, but had
made her escape before Mrs. Recon
awoke. On Mr.. Calm questioning her
she stoutly protested that she was in
nocent of any wrong doing, and that
II the Recon woman did not stop per-
scouting her she would kill herself
This SO impressed Calm that he
telephoned to Mr.. Cook in Easton,
who informed him that he had dis
the girl because she could
speak no English and that he had not
missed anything, furthermore that he
nor any one of his family owned a
lavalliere. Upon hearing this Calm in
formed Policeman Schwerer, of the
Fourth precinct, who upon hearing the
details asked if Mrs Recon was com
ing to the store again. Mr.. Calm
asked the girl and she replied that
Mrs. Recon was coming again to col
lect IS with which she said she was
going to hire lawyer.
Schwerer gave the girl marked
bill and stationed Patrolman John
Conlon in grocery store opposite
Gains place. When Mrs. Recon made
her appearance yesterday Conlon
placed her under arrest, the marked
bill being found in her possession. She
was held in $500 bail to await the ac-
ton of the grand jury by Judge Herr
in the Fourth Precinct Police Court
today.

GLYNN SAYS He

Nor Murphy Man as
Governor.

ALBANY. Dec. 1S.-"I shall not con-
suit or attack Charles F. Murphy, but
IL he or anybody else attempts to in
terfere with my administration | shall
fight, and in the open.
IT do not think the way to help the
Democratic party in this State is to
set up bargain counter in the ex-
ecutive chamber to dispose of public
offices.
"I believe the State of New York is
too big to beSthe tail to the national
administration kite or the annex
of Tammany Hall"
In these words Governor Glynn to-
day outlined in a statement to repor-
tiers his position in State politics. His
words were not a declaration of war,
but a declaration of independence, and
as such they were equally directed at
Pennsylvania avenue and Fourteenth
street, at woodrow Wilson and
Charles F. Murphy.
In all he said the governor made it
perfectly plain that he is determined
to be his own man as governor. Over
and over again he returned to the
main theme.
II can't be a Wilson governor. l
won't be a Murphy governor. I can
only be Glynn governor, and l be-
lieve my job is to be the best one
can"

Cardinal Rampolla Carries
Meyerling Secret to Grave

ROME. Dec. appropriations are
being made for the funeral of Cardi-
nal Rampolla. The body will be
brought with the highest honors to
st. Peters. where the services will be
conducted. s-sssi
The death of the cardinal removes
one of the four persons in all the
world who knew the secret of the
Meyerling tragedy. in which the
Archduke Rudolph, heir to the AUS
train throne. lost his life twenty-four
years ago.
1t is believed here that the facts
surrounding the death of Archduke
Rudolph were officially communicated
to Pope Leo XIII. and Cardinal Ram
polla, at that time Papal secretary of
State. under a pledge of secrecy. 1t
is the general opinion in Vatican cir
cles that the only living sharers of
the secret now are the Emperor Fran
els Joseph and the adjutant of the
archduke who was with the latter
on the evening preceding the discov-
cry of his body in the hunting lodge
at Meyerling. The secret, il Is said,
will die with them.
