WOMAN KILLED
BY STREET CAR
Mary Riley Meets Death on
BeIIeviIIe Avenue While on
Way to Church.

Miss Mary Riley. fifty years old,
was killed by trolley car at Belle
Vile and Third avenues yesterday.
She was struck by Paterson line
car. The victim was on her way to
st. Michael's Catholic Church at the
time she met her death.
Miss Riley was employed at the
Foster Home for Orphans, at Belle
Vile avenue and Van Wagenen
street. She had worked there for the
last seventeen years as laundress.
Her body was identified today at
Mullins morgue by her niece, Miss
Nellie Nolan, of 564 Market street
st. Michaers Church is on the same
side of Belleville avenue as the Fos-
ter Home for Orphans. The reason
why Miss Riley attempted to cross
the street could not be learned. It is
supposed that as she had plenty of
time before the services were to begin
at st. Michael's Church she meant to
extend her walk before reaching the
edif1ce.
The car which struck Miss Riley
was travelling at rapid rate. It
was north bound. She apparently
failed to realize her danger until too
late. The fender struck Miss Riley
and dragged her for some distance
before her body was crushed beneath
the wheels. In her hand at the time
was a rosary, which remained fixed
in her grasp.
News of the accident was sent TO ST.
Michaels Church. Rev. Justin w.
Corcoran responded and administered
the last rites to the dying woman. as
the crowd which had gathered rev.
erently bowed their heads.
Policeman Harry Dyer, of the Sec
ond Precinct, arrested George NJ.
Dyer and Samuel ]. Hartford, both
of Paterson. Dyer was motorman
and Hartford conductor.
Captain John q. Brown, of the
Second Precinct, preferred charge
of mansluaghter against Dyer to-
day. He was later committed to the
prosecutors Office without bail by
Judge Herr. Hartford was paroied.

of the travesties were given out in
advance and no effort was made to
keep the affair a private one.

DOVER, Dec. 15.-Underneath the
present-day agitation in favor of the
so-called eugenic marriages. DR..
Henry w. Kice, of Wharton, sees a
menace. 1t is the danger of treating
eugenics too partially. Every ques-
ton has two sides, he says, and in ouI
enthusiasm over a new idea to i'm
prove the race, we are liable to give
too little consideration to the other
side.

eugenies and is one of the few men

mote the study of eugenics.
I'VE really know too little about
eugenics yet to pass any legislation on
it," said DR.. Kice today. THUS our
legislators are bound to do an injury
to some if they pass any laws on it
When we come to the point where the
State requires a health certificate from
everyone about to be married, think
we ought to go slow. 1t is step IN
the right direction, but is really not
soon enough. The place to forbid the
marriage is at the beginning of the
courtship. but how is this to be done
How do we know when a courtshir

been accomplished. But as great as

that eugenics is question having
two sides. And we should, therefore,
in our treatment be impartial The
value of being well born is not new
idea-it is as old as human beings.
Ever since mankind has studied the
animal kingdom he has seen the inn
portance of normal healthy birth.
The value of coming into the world
without handicap cannot be over
estimated. While 1t is true that the
subject is very ancient, we are forced
to ask, Why is it that within the
past year everybody is talking eu-
genics? Some enthusiasts under
standing the value of eugenics have
brought forward the matter to the
attention of the world and this has
multiplied it's advocates a hundred
fold, many of whom have given the
subject little If any study. Undoubt-

tive children born into society.

Ninety per cent of the prisoners

drunkenness are from the suburbs of
Newark. They come to this city and

to hisown town with all speed today.
Edelen was arrested yesterday by
Sergeant Arnold and Patrolmen Num-

The Newspaper in the Home

There homes in which there is newspaper.
There are homes in which there is no-aeeonnt
newspaper
There are homes in which there is bad newspaper.
And there are homes in which there is good news
paper.
And you tell the difference in the children
of those homes Where there is no newspaper, only
no-account newspaper, the whole family asleep.
They do not know what is going in the world.
They only hear what their neighbors tell them. The
children learn little at school and then forget it. Other
homes are frightened by news new Inventions higher
pleasures but the home without newspaper is asleep.
The home with bad newspaper is stirred up in the
wrong way. The children read Of vice and crime. The
mother is set agog for town fnery and discouraged in
her home duties The father is filled with prejudces
and false notions. The home is poisoned.
The home with good newspaper has school
house and church house and entertainment hall by
its freside every week.
