Tried TO Sell TOadsto0Is
for Mushrooms; Nabbed by
Centre Market Officials

Carrying a large bag containing
what he believed to be mushrooms,
but which in reality were toadstools,
a peddler entered Centre Market yes
terday offering the lot for sale. He
visited several stalls without being
successful in finding a purchaser and
was about to go to another stall when
he was halted by Assistant Market
Clerk Charles Lemmermeier.
What have you there?" queried
Lemmermeier, who is ever with a
watchful eye for such things.
Mushrooms" said the peddler. who
was a foreigner.
Lemmermeier opened the bag. In
a glance he detected the poisonous
fungi. The peddler was taken to the
office of Market Clerk Thomas J.
Rowe. an expert on such matters, who
corroborated the assistants discov-
cry. A closer inspection showed there
was not a single mushroom in the
whole six and one-half pounds, but
that there was enough poison in the
bag to kill several scores of people
The fungi was Immediately confis-
Gated and tour of the market made
to learn if the peddler had made any
sales. His statement that he had
not sold any was found to be true.
NtcN. CJd1dld ACO Iii N lNOWcg or
he reflected on what might have
been.
The peddler said he was Nicola Di
Vito. of 1875 Seventh avenue. He de-
clared he had picked the ''mush-
rooms in the fields of Belleville and
was unaware that they were poison
Gus.
Clerk Rowe is especially careful
about consignments of mushrooms
that are sold at the market. Scarce
ly any are sold that have not first
gone under the shrewd eye of either
Rowe or his assistants.

English Papers Call
Wilson a New Lincoln;
Tariff Victory of People

LONDON, Oct 4-The English
newspapers devote much space today
to the passing by the United States
Congress of the Underwood-Si Simmons
tariff bill. The Glasgow Herald
prints a supplement to its edition this
morning containing the complete text
of the bill.
The news of the signing of the bill
by President Wilson reached London
too late for the editorial writers to
discuss the measure to any great ex-
| tent. The Chronicle says:
1.-The President has fought for and
won a policy of genuine fiscal reform.
1t marks an epoch in the economic
and political history Of the United
States. The nation, bodily asserting
| it's mastery over the unclean inter-
ests that were nearly throttling it,
has made an irreparable breach in
the monstrous tariff wall which they
had reared. For President Wilson the
passage of the new tariff is great
personal triumph. No more remark
able man has reigned in the White
House since Abraham Lincoln
1.-THE most striking fact tbout the
new. American tariff, = says the Daily
Graphic. sis the extraordinary per-
sonal triumph it constitutes for Presi-
dent Wilson. Not an experienced
fessor, unfamiliar with the wiles of
! Washington--yet he succeeded where
Roosevelt and Taft failed. The secret
of his success was his own SINGLE
mindedness of purpose.
at would be inaccurate to describe
| TIE new tariff as free trade in the
sense that that term is understood by
the Englishman and the Dutchman.
Its passage must be recognized as a
| Id. lNfA g. l1t -.At to
and the Inauguration of an era of
freer trade between the United States
and the rest of the world
The Times in an editorial says:
1.-The Underwood act is not in in
tention or effect step toward free
! trade. What its trainers aimed at,
and what they accomplished. is
wide and wholesome reduction of
that insensate protectionism which
| led Chamberlain to describe the
| American tariff as monstrosity he
would never think of urging Great
Britain to adopt.
Meanwhile nothing can undo the
fact that the American people have
at length taken into their hands the
direction of the fiscal policy of the
nation. The passage of the Under
wood bill is something more than the
triumph of economic sanity. 1t is
! the triumph of self government. 1t
marks the first time that the Ameri-
can electors having voted at the polls
for a reduction in the tariff have seen
their wishes translated into legisla-
ton by their representatives.
Whatever happens the United
States is not likely again to relapse
into the conditions of four years ago
that made the Payne-Aldrich act pos
sib,e That is why President Wilson
is literally justified in hailing the
issue of the struggle which brought
him nothing but credit as victory

See Instruments of Torture
Used for LaWbreakers Over
Century Ago.

Mayor Jacob Haussling, with a
party of city officials. inspected the
convict ship Success" at it's mooring
at Commercial wharf yesterday
afternoon. Captain d. Fl. Smith,
owner of the old vessel, received the
mayor and his party in his private
quarters and extended to them the
freedom of the ship.
Captain z. w. Nottingham escorted
the Newark officials through the YES
sci, explaining everything in detail.
refreshments were served to the
party in the purser's quarters.
While the officers and their guests
were sitting in the purser's quarters
Mayor Haussling, who had been the
most interested of any while going
through the ship, extended his hand
to Captain Smith and congratulated
him for having given the people or
today the chance to see just how the
people of $50 years ago were treated.
Although none of the party eX-
pected the mayor to have much 10
say about the trip through the yessei,
it seemed as though he was compelled
to give vent to his feelings when
arose from witnessing the implements
of torture and other signs of the par
barous times of long ago.
Captain Smith," the mayor said i
am exceedingly glad that in your
travels about the world in the sue
ces' you stopped at Newark. The
vessel is not only interesting, put
educational to the younger generation
of today The implements of torture
and methods of punishment in vogue
at the time this ship was in service
as a prison ship are too horrible TO
think about If such cruelties would
be practised on prisoners today the
whole country would rise In revolt.
instead of enjoy the idea, as did the
people $50 years ago.
Among those in the mayors party
were President of the Common Counr
ell John III. Donnelly, Sheriff John f..
Monahan, Chief of Police Michael T..
Long, City Counsel James r. Nugent,
City Treasurer Elmer c. Day, Fire
Chief Paul J. Moore. Assistant City
Attorney Charles M. Myers and over
seer of the Poor William A. Baldwin.

SchoOlbOys Anxious to
Look Like Real Sailors
Have Arms TatoOed

The desire of two small schoolboys
to look like sailors by having an
chors, stars and other artistic decora-
tons tattooed on their arms resulted
in the appearance of Oscar Sweet,
the "tattooer," of 126 Howard street,
before Judge Herr in the Fourth Pre-
cinct Court today.
Both lads, Walter Lutz. eleven
old, of SO Jones street, and Walter
Leszczysky twelve years old, of 302
Fifteenth avenue, are pupils in the
Belmont Avenue School. Yesterday
afternoon when DR.. John Huberman.
the school physician, examined a
number of the pupils he discovered
the decorated arms of the two lads.
After questioning, the lads admitted
that they had visited Sweets tattoo
ing parlor without the consent of their
parents. Principal Charles II. Glea-
son, jr., communicated with the po-
lice of the Fourth precinct and Sweet
was summoned to appear before
Judge Herr today. Plainclothesman
Cort of the Fourth precinct also in
vestigated and the boys admitted
that LutZ had paid Sweet fifteen cents
for his share of the tattooing and
that the other lad had paid nine
cents for his decorations.
Judge Herr reprimanded Sweet Sc
verely in court today. Sweet pro-
duced a sheaf of short notes which
he said were the written permits
sions of the parents of various young
ster5 whose arms he had tattooed.
Judge Herr ventured the opinion that
the notes had probably been written
by the lads themselves. Sweet was
allowed to go under promise that in
the future he would do no tattooing
on youngsters arms unless the lads
were accompanied to his place by
their parents.

URGE. VOCATIONAL
WORK IN SCHOOLS
Essex County Principals Hold
Meeting at New Nor
NAL School.

Voca tionaI and Industrial training
formed the subject of an informal
talk delivered by Lewis T. Carris,
assistant State commissioner of edu-
cation, to school principals of Essex
county at the new Normal School
building today. The conference was
suggested by County Superintendent
of Schools Oliver ]. Morelock and
City Superintendent Addison b. Po-
land,
Mr. Carris explained that the pur-
pose of the conference was to inter-
est the principals of the county in
the work of establishing industrial
and vocational schools and explained
that the Legislature this year enact
ed a law providing for the organiza-
ton and maintenance of vocational
schools with State aid.
Vocational educa ton Mr.. Carris de-
fined as education, the controlling
purpose of which is to fit for profita-
bic employment; industrial education,
that form of vocational education
which fits Cor the trades, crafts and
manufactu1- e pursuits. including the
occupations for girls and women car
ried on in workshops.
The necessity for Industrial educa-
ton. Mr.. Carris said, was widely rec
ognized, and is both an economic and
educational one. The public schools.
he declared. must recognize those
conditions which are related not
only to industrial welfare. but to our
social welfare as well. Industrial ed
ucation at the present time. Mr.. Car
ris continued. was. in a formative
state. He then went on to enumer-
ate and explain the various branches
of vocational education.
At the conclusion of his talk. Prin-
cipal William Wiener, of the Central
High School, declared that he did
not think Mr.. Carris was correctly
informed as to the work being done
along vocational lines at his school.
Vocational education was being car
ried ON there, he said, and young
men were being placed in the trades.
Mr. Carris in answer to Mr. Wiener
declared that while all that might
be true 1t was not sufficient Indus
trial schools should be established
where a boy or girl might choose
their own vocational line irrespective
of whether they had graduated from
grammar school or not, provided the
age of fourteen had been reached.
Several of the principals piled Mr..
Carris with questions about the work
along vocational lines and all seemed
intensely interested in the PROPOSE
ton.
