ENGINEER INVENTS CAGE
FOR NINE RESCUE WORK

WASHINGTON, July ia hoist
ing cage, designed for use primarily
in mine rescue work, has been in
vented by George S. Rice chief min
ing engineer of the United States
Bureau of Mines. The cage is the
result of difficulties encountered by
the bureaus rescuers in mine dis
asters where the regular hosting
equipment has been so damaged or
disarranged that it could not be used.
The new cage which Mr.. Rice has
developed is collapsible and it is the
opinion of officials of the Bureau of
Mines that it will greatly facilitate
mine rescue work. One cage already
has been installed on one of the
bureaus rescue cars, and 1t was used
to great advantage at the recent
Banner, Ala, mine disaster. Other
cars are to be similarly equipped

barred. Slashes that go above the

hose must not be transparent. Skirts
that display too well the rounded
curves of the female form, if often
sive to the eye of the police, must
be squelched. All gowns must be
high enough on the shoulders and

exposure of the bosom. Naked arms

ton and deadlock is expected at

Police Expect Mother of Child
Who Died in Hospital in
Court Today.

The identity of the 3a-year-old
child who died at the Babies Hospital
a week ago last night, and who was
buried in potter's field, will likely be
made known to the police today
when Mrs Samuel Rosenberg, of Ill
Broome street, will appear at the
Fourth Precinct Court with the moth
er of the child According TO Captain
Oscar Vogel of the Fourth precinct,
a complaint of abandonment will
probably be taken against the mother

be held as a witness.
Mrs. Rosenberg appeared in court
this morning but refused to tell the
name of the mother of the child. say
ing that she did not know 1t. Mrs.
Rosenberg left the child in the Babies

time when the child was left at the
hospital Mrs. Rosenberg gave the
name of Mrs. Goldstein and said she
lived at 10 Boyd street.

went to that address to notify the
woman, but could find nobody by that
name living there. He later learned
that Mrs. Rosenberg was the woman

Vice-Chancellor Howell comedies
that Vanden Heuvel's followers had
right to secede, but with such &C
ton, he says, they relinquished all
rights to the property. He further
orders that Vanden Heuvers follow
