Modern Methods Practically Unknown
Throughout the Country.
According to report from United
States Consul General Skidmore, mod
ern street paving is as yet practically
unknown throughout Japan. The usu-
al japanese street has no sidewalk
pavements, and no attempts have been
made to provide. separate roadways
for pedestrians outside the business
districts Of the more important Cities
These streets have no artificial paw
ings, they are usually macadamized In
as cheap way as possible and are
shockingly bad at all times Of the year
in the congested traffic districts. 1n
the city Of Tokyo. population some
100000, there is only one. steam roll
er employed on these pavings and that
is usually out of order. Z
In Yokohama few Of the business
streets. have cement sidewalks, but
none Of the streets is paved Yoko-
haraa has population Of about 4O0,-
COO and street mileage about equal to
that of any city OF like population IN
Gle United state.
q few axperdments Ia street paving
have been carried on in Tokyo under
supervision Of the city authorities, but
only q scant three miles have 50 far
been paved, and this paving has been
done with wooden blocks coated with
q very thin covering Of asphalt The

was not that it did not receive thous.

we're cast against it, but in the failure
of enough electors to take a proper in.

State Attorney General Lyndon A.
Smith has just handed down decision
jim which he states that ownership of
"a home by widow does not bar her
sfrom getting aid under the mothers
pension law, if she is without means
and has children who are dependent
upon her. In a case at ha., in which
the above decision was handed down,
the woman in question was the owner
Of q home, but was in a state Of pow
erty, the only source Of support being
from what she earned by washing. To
refuse a woman aid in such a case
would be contrary to public policy,

throughout the world, that radium
and mesotherium are the long sought
cure for cancer.
Prof. Schweninger, who is famous
as the private physician of Prince
Bismarck, airs his views in the Janu-
airy number Of the Neu liunSchau.
He says he cannot and will not be.

POLICE Offered
IAXICAb BANDIT
CHIEF Freedom

New York, Jan. 6.-Geno MOntani
who was sent to Sing Sing nearly two
years ago, as chief of the ~'taxicab
bandits" now says that 500 after
his arrest two officials Of the New
York police department offered to
see that he went free if paid $4,000.
His story is uncorrOborated.
Montani a the young owner and
driver Of the taXicab upon which a
pack of gunner pounced in Trinity
place on Feb. Is, 1912. They beat
severely two messengers Of the East
River National bank, who were in the
cab, seized a satchel containing $25,-
900, Travelled a few blocks while one
of the robbers held a pistol against
Montani's ribs, and then leaped off,
and escaped.
The arrest and conviction Of this
band and the recovery of a large part
of the money was one Of the chief
accomplishments Of the detectives di.
rooted by Deputy Commissioner Geo.
S. Dougherty. Three of the culprits
turned states evidence, said that
Montani bosscd the robbery, and got
off with light sentences. Montaui,
always protesting innocence, was sent
to prison for from 10 to IS years.
Last Saturday Assistant District
Attorney Frederick J. Groehl saw
Montani at Sing Sing. In the pres
ence Of witnesses he made his charge
against two police officials, one Of
whom has a prominent post at head
quarters, the other being a captain,
now on the retired list. Mr.. Groehl
said today that the charge was being
investigated.

RAzE HAUNTED
Home OF CATS

Wesson, Miss, Jan. G.-HundredS of
curiosity seekers Drayed rain and
wadcd through mud to visit an old,
dilapidated residence, built in 1910,
on one Of Wesson's main streets. The
building had. not been occupied for
years. 1t was suddenly brought into
public attention in this way:
Situated next door to a large board.
ing house and surrounded by several
fine residences, the buildings roof
was badly decaycd and the wooden
pillare starting to fall from under it.
The adjacent property owner were
afraid it would catch on fire and
burn them out of house and home.
They made complaint to the mayor
and board of aldermen, who asked
it's owner to either put the building
in good repair or remove it. He did
not care to repair the house, sc he
sold it.
For some time past citizens in that
~neighborhood have been missing their
house cats, of which three were many,
until not a cat could be seen around
any of the homes, and it was decided
that some person had been killing
them with poison, until last week
when w. G. Bailey, who brought the
house, began to tear it down. He
was almost frightened away by a pc
culiar noise. Some say they had been
hearing this noise for a long time,
and were afraid to pass the structure
at night, believing it haunted. On
the day of demolition all their myster.
les were solved when the workmen
ore away a portion of the walls and
500 cats came running out, going in
all directions.
Among the cats was NELSON'S Chief
Tom" a favorite that had been
mourned as dead a long time. AS the
cats came out the amazed workmen
threw hammers, bricks, etc, at them
as they sped swiftly away. Just how
the cats got into the Enclosure and
could not get out is known only to
themselves.
Peck of Gold Pieces.
That was attraction No. ]. After
this excitement the purchaser of said
house resumed his work, and was
about to forget his experience with
the house cats until he pulled down
another portion of the walls, when
about q peck of 500 gold pieces came
rolling out on his feet.
The news soon spread over the
community and many have been curl
GUS to see the lodging place Of so
many cats and SO much gold. II IS
not known how the money came to be
in the walls of the old house, but some
believe that the C%opelandgang hid
away 100000 in gold somewhere in
during their time, and many
deep holes have been dug in the hill
sides by those whose hope was to find

FOR CHILDREN
Child Labor Committee Push.
ing Ten Legislative
Campaigns

More than 100000 children will be
concerned in the outcome Of the ten
legislative campaigns to be conducted
this year by the National Child La
Dor committee, according to Owen
r. Lovejoy, its general secretary. He
says also that all but two of the
twelve states whose legislatures will
meet in 1914 are far below standard
in their child labor laws. Not one of
the ten has the eight-hour day for all
workers under sixteen years Of age,
and three OF tAem-Georgia, Maryland
and Virginia-allow children under
sixteen to work at night.
Another three-Georgia, South
Carolina and Mississippi-are among
the nine. states that disgrace the
country with age limits lower than
fourteen years for factory work. In
Georgia children of ten may legally
wcrk in the mills and even this age
limit is not enforced. Virginia weak
ems her fourteen year age limit by
exemptions and Vermont has a four
teen year limit only for places where
more than ten persons are employed.
New Jersey enforces a fourteen-year
limit for factories only; in other &C.
equations children of any age may be
employed during the day outside of
school hours. Maryland has a four
teen year limit in several common &C.
equations but allows children Of ~
to work in canneries, stores, offices
and packing establishments.
In Kentucky, Rhode Island and 9TH
er states, the National Child Labor
committee hopes this Near to i'm
prove the provision for work permits,
in order that no permit may be issu-
ed to a child who is below the legal
age, or who has no education. OF
these ten backward states with legis-
lative sessions in 1914, five southern
states-Virginia, South Carolina,
Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana
now require no educational test what
ever Of children going to work;
Rhode Island is content if they can
read and write and Kentucky if they
can read and write and have had
some instruction in elementary sub
jects.
There is no inspection for child la
Dor in Georgia nor in Louisiana out
side Of New Orleans. In Mississippi
inspection is in the hands Of local
sheriffs and health officers. In all
three Of these states a state bureau

LACK Of WORK CAUSES
new YORK UNEMPLOYED
TO GROW APPALL|NGLY

Albany, n. Y, Jan. 6.--The percent
age of idleness among the trade UNI
ions of the state for the year ended
Sept. 80 was greater than during any
corresponding year since 1896, with
tho single exception of 1908. The
principal cause for this idleness was
lack of work" These facts are
shown in a special bulletin about to
be issued by Commissioner James NJ.
Lynch of the state department Of la.
Dor.
"Returns as to idleness have Ucen
received by the state department OF
labor Commissioner Lynch said to-
day. prom practically all trade I'M
ions of the state, representing G27,-
094 earners, the number reported idle
on the last working day in Septem-
Der was l0l ,l49. a percentage of 1871.
"When the cause Of the reported
idleness are examined it clearly ap-
pears that the greater idleness for
the year ending Sept. 80, as compar-
ed with the preceding year, was due
to the lessened demand for labor.
Our figures show that for the year
ended Sept. 80. 90 per cent of the
idleness was due to lack Of work, as
compared with II per cent for the
corresponding year of. 1912.
'"At the anne time idleness due to
labor disputes, which constitute the
next most important variable cause,
was almost a negligible factor. This
caused but 2 per cent Of the total
%idleness, as compared with II per
cent the preceding year"

one in that part of town during Cope
lands time.
At any rate, the old structure has
created a sensation in it's last days,
and Bailey is delighted over his pur-
chase, while others who refused to
pay the price asked for it O threat
en- to order a kicking machine for
personal use. A souvenir of this in
teresting house with it's history will
probably be sent to the New Orleans
exhibition in 1915. In the meantime

SCHOOL CRIMES

ness System for Young
Cu|pfits

Chicago, Jan. 6.-James H. Wat
son, special agent for the board of
education, issued his annual report
of the status Of crime" in the schools
yesterday. 1t shows that in the eight
years during which he has been spec
ial agent school depreciation has de-
creased more than 20 per cent, while
the school system expanded more than
20 per cent.
During the year 1913 there have
been fewer complaints of thieving and
petty stealing than ever before. Few
er windows have been broken. -.
Watson reports that dcring his whole
term he has lad only eleven repeat
ers."
Improvement In Eight Years.
During the year 1906, the first of
his term, there. were t53S complaints
of destruction of property and thiev.
cry. During the last year there were
276, all of less Importance than any
the first year.
Mr.. Watson attributes his success
to his handling Of the cases. He
makes an arrest only as a last resort.
OF the $500 cases since his appoint
ment, he has had less than 100 per-
sons vi on the juvenile curt. He has
recommended to Judge Pinckney that
less than fifty of these be sent to
corrective institutions. In more than
so per cent of the cases the offenders
have been apprehended, and, as many
OF the offenses were committed by
gangs, thousands of boys and girls
have come before him.
Gives Offenders A Chance.
II believe said Mr.. Watson, that
a boy Or girl is entitled to M or two
chances. If l get them the third OF
fourth time l believe in severer mea-
sures. But during my whole term
l have had only eleven boys up the
second time.
when I have a~pprehended a boy
or girl I 60 to the parents. tell
them they have to pay for the dam.

fore members of the Young Women's

night, in which he emphatically de-
Tended Mrs. Ella Elagg Young's ideas
On the teaching of sex hygiene in the

The alliance passed resolutions in
dorsing Mrs. Young's policy.
"Monogamy is sex democracy, While
polygamy is tyranny" said Mr.. Moore.
Marriage is for control and idealiza'
ton of lex relationship.
Diseases from polygamous life are
only toe apparent in our hospitals and
asylums. Through the teaching on
sex matters these diseases may be
greatly eliminated.
Teachers, who have specialized in
such matters, r better qualified to
teach them than parents"
