Talking Pictures at the Opera House
Thomas A. Edison's latest invention
the kinetophone, or talking pictures, has
taken it's place among the high class
theatrical attractions now touring the
country. A program of IL excellent sub
jects, combining musical and dramatic
numbers, comedy, vaudeville and min
strel bits, and special features in which
prominent statesmen and noted suffra-
gettes are seen heard, has been arranged
for presentation in the frst-class the
aires.
Several companies have been organ.
lied by Mr.. Edison, each equipped with
its force of operators and necessary me-
chanical accessories of machines, etc,
and having its advance agent and busi-
ness manager. These companies are
competing successfully with the largest
dramatic and musical organizations for
volume of business. In the hundred or
more leading cities of the United States
where the kinetophone has already been
seen during engagements varying from
three days to as many months, the
recognized dramatic critics have been
unanimous in declaring it an unquali-
fed success.
The coming engagement of the Edison
talking pictures at the opera house on
Wednesday, Sept. 10, will be the return
appearance of this new Edison marvel
here. Two complete performances will
be given each day, matinee at 2;30

While the realization of the mini
mum wage suggested would shield
some wage-earning girls from temp
tation, many girls would still be sub
iected to the awful fate of abduc-
ton.
Fifty thousand girls in this country

sationalism in stating facts, but these
facts are known
Why should we hesitate to an
nounce the conclusion?
Under our corrupt city government
girls are being snatched into taxi
cabs or kidnapped on the streets. 1t
is going on all the time!
Even with wages as low as they
now are the supply of girls is not
sufficient SO we cannot look to the
minimum wage alone to solve the
problem, especially so long as district
leaders, big politicians magistrates
and Judges not only countenance, put
acquire gain, from this Ubiquitous
traffic.

VII son MAY DEFINE JUST
WHAT A BARREL MEANS
At Present Its Size Is a Matter
of Conjecture,

NEW YORK, March 22.-When a
produce merchant, or any one else
for that matter. buys a barrel of ap-
pies these days he doesn't know ex-
actly what he Is going to get for his
money. One man might sell him a
thousand apples for, say 81, and call
that a barrelful. whereas another
man might sell him loo of the same
sized apples for So and call that a
barrelful. There is at present no
standard sized barrel and dealers
who wish are able to deceive their
customers and make greater profits
than their methods deserve.
1t is this situation in every line Of
business where weights and measures
are concerned that has led merchants
TO urge the passage of a national
weights and measures law which will
among other things insure the adop-
ton of a standard sized barrel There
are lots of State laws on the subject
but in interstate commerce these are
not vary valuable.
\. I. McGrane. of the d. w. Winnie
Company, has had considerable cor
respondence on this subject with
President Wilson, and yesterday he
said that he confidently expected the
President TO refer to it in his first
message to a regular session of Con
gress.

lMPROVERS TAKE STAND
AGAINST HUMANE SOCIETY
lndorse Bills Taking Dog Cues
ton Out of It's Hands.

Complaining that the Humane Soci-
ETY. has been inactive, the members of
the Northwestern Improvement Asso-
citation last night unanimously voted
TO support the bills which will remove
the care of dogs question from the So
ciety. Former Assemblyman Robert
E. Mitchell, a member of the associa-
ton, declared the city had paid the
Humane Society $4,000 to settle the
dog problem, but no results were OBJ
tanned.
Assembly bill 41o provides that in
hrst-class cities a tax of So is to be
levied upon the owner of each dog. A
tag bearing a number will be issued
for an additional ten cents and the
tag must be placed on the dog s collar.
This bill, the association claims, will
rid the city of the large number of
vicious dogs which run wild.
Another bill favored is Assembly
ali providing that the money re-
ceived for dog taxes, amusement halls
other than moving picture shows,
shall be paid to the treasurer of the
police pension committee.

Why do | go into these facts? Be

must realize that not the minimum

women of a city. Do not misunder-
stand me as Understanding the
importance of the minimum wage
crusade AS l said, it is vital.
But the greater independence of
well-paid working girls will drive the
slavers te desperation to supply the
demand; then the proper administra-

police power will be absolutely neces-

slavery. Such administration of
municipal government as is daily re-

gists cannot condemn too severely.

Not long ago a girl was taken from
the streets of Rochester and brought
to New York. Here she fell into the
hands of an old society. Communi-
cation with Rochester proved that
the police there were looking for her
and her family was distracted. 1t
was only by chance that she was
saved from terrible fate.
But there is tragedy of the kind
in which the circumstances are even
more fully known to me.
Because of a false conception of
the disgrace attached to the matter,
because of the illogical standard that
has grown up about the purity of
women, the facts in this case have
never been made known. They prob
ably never will be.
1t was eight months ago that the
woman-a young wife and mother
was abducted. No trace of her has
ever been discovered, and the hus-
band steadfastly refused to ask the
help of publicity. The husband is a
prominent business man whose home
is in New Jersey.
On certain day he found he had
some leisure, and telephoned his wife

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF
MOON EARLY TO-DAY

A total eclipse of the moon occurred
early today, but any Newarkers who
set their alarm clocks so that they
might view the spectacle were disap-
pointed. The eclipse took place as
per schedule, but the full benefit of
the phenomena was given only to the
observers in the States along the
Western coast.
About o'clock this morning the
moon began to pass through the
earth's shadow and an hour later the
eclipse was total. The eclipse was
only partially visible to the observers
in the Eastern States.
1t is eighteen years since the as
tronomers were treated to this spec
tacle, and the next eclipse will take
place at the stated interval of Is
years, 21S days and 81 minutes.
Those who sacrificed several hours
snooze early today To observe the
eclipse will be given another loppor-
tunity on April ;, 1881.

WANTS STATE TO
END SILK STRIKE
Urge Legislative Probe of
Trouble-Summit Workers
Threaten Walk-Out.
Especial to the Newark stsr.I

PATERSON, N. j., March 22.-ln
an effort to settle the silk strike, the
Board of Trade will call upon the
State to intervene.
Senator Peter j McGinnis IS to in
troduee a resolution In the Senate on
Monday asking for a probe Of the
labor situation here by specially APP
pointed legislative committee.
This unusual action comes as the
result of the absolute deadlock he
tween the operators and operatives.
There are more than $4,000 mon and
women idle in Paterson. Not single
mill of any size is open. The silk in
dustry is facing the greatest crisis in
its history.
So far the factory owners have con-
tended emphatically that they cannot
yield To the strikers demands with
out fbankrupting themselves. The
strikers, on their part, are equally
determined to fight to the finish.
The strike is better organized than
any other in this city. and is unique
for its orderliness. There has been
practically no violence during the en-
tire month the mills have been shut
down
Confronted by such a deadlock as
this, the Board of Trade decided that
the only prospect of settlement lay in
an impartial investigation by the
Legislature.
The strikers will be willing to abide
by the result of the probe, for they
have already issued statement that
they are willing to meet the operators
in any way that will assure justice TO
both sides.

In the Field of Politics

F'ieldings election was unanimous,
but the two defeated candidates de-
clare they will take action to bring
about a recount on the grounds that
the election was partisan.
South Orange just now is passing
through a peculiar phase of its politi-
cal history. A new party, the TAX
payers party, has just been formed
to oppose the Citizens parry, now the
dominant organization. And the rea-
son for forming the new party, as adj
vanced by it's members, is because the
Citizens party is social organiza-

The battle will end on April %, when
the village election will be held. II
