chief of Police Michael Corbitt will
send a request to the teachers of pub

He was prompted to take this ac-

of negro laborers are tearing up the

W|FE'S LOVE FOR
CABARET BLAMED
Drucker, in Divorce Petition
Says Children Hold No At
traction for Her.

The lure of the cabaret show is
blamed by William Drucker, of 146
Orange street, for the breaking up
of his domestic happiness and the
leaving of his two small children
motherless on his hands. Drucker,
who is a fireman connected with En-
gine Company No. 13, has begun suit
for divorce against his wife, who Is
playing a violin in a rathskeller in
Schenectady, N. Y.
Mrs. Drucker, who was a Miss Ce-
ella Ritter, married Drucker in Au-
gust, 1907 She had then been per-
forming in cabaret show. and the
desire to return to her old profess
sion manifested itself soon after their
marriage, Drucker says. Several
times she spoke of getting back in
it, and in May, 1911, she quietly de-
parted for Schenectady. her home
town. where she has been perform
ing since.
The lure evidently proved stronger
than the love for her children, be-
cause, Drucker says, she has never
made any effort to get them. He be-
lieves her mother may have some-
thing to do with that part of it, be-
cause he has several letters from
his wife's sister asking his wife to
come back to her old home, but not
to bring any kids, as mama objects
to them.''
Drucker has retained Louis I. Beers
and his bill has just been filed in the
Court of Chancery. He declares he
allowed his wife to play at concerts
while they lived together here, but
the call of the cabaret was too much
for her. He charges desertion.

POLICE FEAR TROUBLE AT

Manufacturers Declare That
Backbone of Labor War
Has Been Broken.

PATERSON, N. j.. May 22.-Despite
the brave statements of big Bill"
Haywood and the other indicted l..
W. w. leaders, the $4,000 silk strikers
today gave indications of lapsing into
the pacific methods that marked the
first ten weeks of their labor war
The manufacturers believe that the
backbone of the strike has been
broken, but there is little indication
that the millhands are thinking of
making any concessions in their
present demands.
The strikers have been hardest hit
by the police order closing Turn and
Helvetia halls against them. They
cannot meet legally anywhere within
the city limits.
The police expect that there will be
no further rioting until after the
trials of Haywood and his aides. If
any or all of them are found guilty,
the day on which they are taken be-
fore Judge T<lenert for sentence is
apt to see a riot that will surpass
anything in the history of Paterson.
Seek Foreign Jurymen.
Supreme Court Justice Minturn will
announce his decision tonight in re-
gard to Henry Marellis application
for a foreign-draw panel of venire-
men from which to choose jurors for
the trials of the l. w. w. leaders.
The application, 1T is understood. will
probably be granted.
Mr.. Marelli, in arguing for 1t last
night at Justice Minturn's home in
Hoboken, read newspaper articles to
show his clients could not get a fair
trial before a Passaic county jury.
Prosecutor Michael Dunn asserted
the 1. w. w. had brought about the
present conditions "by advocating no
wages and no capital"
Not All Teachings Anarchy.
Sir Thomas Moore wrote Utopia,

Business men of Paterson today
presented to. Mayor Mcbride resolu-
tions asking him to hasten his efforts
to end thesstrike. The committee ap-
pointed by the mayor to suggest
ways and means has finished its
work and win make its report shortly.
