LOCAL DIPLOMAS
TO SUNDAY SHOWS
BLOOM BILL PLAN
Essex Mans Measure Aims to
Legalize Amusements That
Are Popular in Newark.
IFrom a STAR Correspondent /

TRENTON, Jan. 13.-A bill which
may have an important bearing on
Sunday amusements, such as theat-
ricals, Moving pictures, bicycle races
and baseball was introduced by As
semblyman Joseph b. Bloom, of Es-
sex, in the Legislature today. 1t IA
thers a supplement to the act for
suppressing vice and immortality, ap-
proved March 81, 1874
The Bloom bill grants to munich
palities or associations, by ordinance,
the right to regulate features of the
act as applicable to Sunday observ-
ances.
The first four and the eighth sec
tions of the vice and immortality act
are affected in these local applica-
tions.
Local option in applying the Sun
day law governing indoor and out
door amusements on that day is
sought, by provision that the Board
of Aldermen, Common Council,
Township Committee or other gov
erning body of any municipality in
the State, or camp meeting associa-
tions shall have power to adopt or
dinances to regulate and prohibit the
act made unlawful by the first four
sections, and the eighth section of
the vice and immortality act.
The amendment ratifies the law
and propose to amend it so that it
can be applied locally as the citizens
think fit

spirit FAILS TO
IMPRESS POLICE
Rude Officers Lay Desecrating
Hands on .Unearthly" Visitor.
Mediums Fined. SIS

Braving spirit visitors from the
other world" six skeptical police Of
fieers last night interrupted
"seance' in a darkened room at 155
New street. and arrested an ''un-
earthly" visitor and her husband.
They gave their names as Hannah
Boehmer, forty-eight years old. and
George G. Boehmer, forty-three years
old. Despite the protestations OF
twenty-six men and women who vera
eonferring with the spirit, the two
were locked up as disorderly persons.
The arrests were made by Lieuten-
ants Quinn and Harris, of police
headquarters. and Plainelothesmen
Volk. Goodwin. Baumann and
Schroeder, of the Second precinct
The activities of the medium and
his spirit spouse have been conduct-
ed for several weeks in the house at
the New street address. At fifty cents
per head. gullible conferees were per-
mitted TO speak to departed relatives.
Mrs. Boehmer. who is gifted with q
marvellous fiexibility of relationship,
was the departed relative in each
case.
The favored few were conducted
into a darkened room to the tune OF
slow and "spooky'i music, where they
were awed into a proper attitude by
mysterious incantations. Under the
leadership of Prof Boehmer, the as
semblage sang Nearer, My God. to
Thee" and at the conclusion OF the
last verse the fairy for moi Mrs.
Boehmer fioated filmy-like in on the
fear-fraught spectators and pro-
claimed herself somebody's mother.
The unappreciative bluecoats inter-
rupted the proceedings at this point
and laid desecrating hands on the
denien of the world beyond, who dis
appointed the audience by her failure
to filter hazily out through the key
hole. The police eonfiscated an arn-
brosial gown, which appeared to their
unimaginative minds suspicionsly
like cheesecloth, together with a pair
of dainty white slippers, whose mer-
curial properties had transported
their mistress from the great be-
yond.
Boehman's costume was done in an
elaborate boathrobe effect, topped off
with a piece of headgear which defies
description and which is tribute To
somebody's genius.
The couple set themselves before
the public as Pierce and Ross, phe-
nomenal exponents of psychics.' The
police, however, decided that the pair

A remarkable circumstance in tho

when the BEGINNERS were arrangned
today and shook their heads dubious

CITY SH|VERS IN
GRIP OF COOLEST
DAY THIS WINTER

Today was the coolest this winter.
The city shivered in near-zero
weather. with a biting northwest
wind whipping through the streets in
gale-like gusts.
By noon the mercury had climbed
only to 10 degrees above. The low
mark was registered at 8 a. M. when
the thermometers at the Central
High School bureau recorded 6.
The entire north and central por-
tions of the country were in the grip
of the cold wave. In many places
the mercury dropped below zero. and
one or two records of 26 below were
made.
Principal William Wiener, of the
Central High School, said this after
noon that he thought it would con-
tinue cold, possibly for four OF five
days.
The cold snap came with record
breaking suddenness. Starting at 81
degrees yesterday afternoon at 2
o'clock. the mercury dropped as If
the bottom had fallen from the tube.

CUT IN CLOTH PRICE MAY LOWER COST
OF CLOTHES, BUT SHOES MAY REACH $40

NEW YORK, Jan. 13,-The uiti-
mate consumer finds both hope and
despair in the news today. While
cuts are announced in the wholesale
prices of woolen goods, the ominous
prediction is made by retail shoe deal
ers that the price of a pair of shoes
may soon soar to $40.
The material reductions IN whole
sale prices of staple serges, unfinished
worsteds clays, cheviots and other
woolen goods for the fall of 1914, an
nounced in the trade today, are under
stood to be direct result of the new
tariff schedules and anticipated COM
petition from abroad.
Prices on serges, clays. unfinished
worsteds and French backs are 20 TO
81 cents below last fall. Clays show
reductions of 20 to 27 cents. Unfinish-
ed worsteds are 221s to 271a cents
lower The heaviest reduction, nearly
23 per cent, is on Washington serge.
But don't be overjoyed 1T Is still a
matter of conjecture whether Afy
Ultimate Consumer will reap any
benefit from the reductions. The gen.

Street Structure.
FATHER is BURNED
SAVING CHILDREN
Women Taken from Upper
Stories by Firemen-Home
for Aged in Danger.

Half dozen or more women and
several children were trapped by
flames in the six-story Irving apart
ments, Broad and Gouverneur streets,
this afternoon. The women were
carried down the fire escapes to safe
ty by f1remen and policemen. The
blaze was started by an electric bat
terry attached to Christmas tree in
one of the rooms.
The Home for Aged Women,
adjoining the Irving apartment
house, was threatened by the quick
spread of the fire. Many of the in
mates were badly frightened. None
were hurt. Two alarms were sent
in, one right after the other, in order
to save the buildings near the Irving
The fire was discovered at 2:15. A
minute later the flames were sweep
ing through the halls and into the
stairways.
Mrs. Cornelius V. Losee was in her
apartments on the first floor when
she detected the fire. A Christmas
tree in the room was ablaze. She ran
out screaming and left her two chill
dren, three years old and seven
months old.
The alarm was quickly given. Be-
fore the flremen arrived the blaze
was well under way. 1t had spread
to the elevator shaft.
Mr.. Losee was badly burned trying
to save his children. He was taken
to the office of DR.. Thomas Boyle,
Broad street and Belleville avenue.
David Wells, a ianitor for the Home
for Aged Women, saved the Losee
children. He rushed in when he heard
the mothers screams.
GpOrpa r Hill piphtU.thraa an IN
valid, was taken from the sixth floor
by firemen. He was brought down
the fire-escape.
Several of the women in the apart
ments above the first floor escaped to
the street, but others were too late.
They found the Railways and stairs
choked with smoke.
When the firemen reached the scene
on the first alarm, the first floor was
in flames.
A woman on the third floor threw
up window and screamed for help.
Half a dozen firemen from the first
truck swarmed up the flre-escape.
Aided by policemen they carried the
women down.
On the sixth floor an aged woman,
alone in her apartment, was strug-
Cling frantically to raise the window
looking out on the fire-escape She
collapsed In the arms of a fireman.
He carried her down through the
smoke and she was revived in the
Home for the Aged.
Among those rescued from the up
per floors were Mrs. Emily Cochran,
Mrs. George Ward. They wee taken
with others to the Home for the
Aged.
Mr.. Hill, who was rescued from an
upper floor, tried to get down the
stairs His sister was with him.

Mrs. Martha B. Hill is the owner of
the building. She does not reside
there, it was said by persons living in

/ eral opinion seems to be that the re-
duced cost will be lost in the course
of handling.
The dire prediction that shoes may
reach $40 per pair. was made by
speakers at the annual convention of
the National Shoe Retailers Associa-
ton.
Pure shoe laws" already adopted
in twenty-five States and several
measures of the same nature now
pending In Congress were given as
the chief causes for increasing the
price of footwear.
Both speakers and a majority of
the 200 delegates present denounced
the legislation which would cause all
shoes not made entirely of leather to
be stamped "adulterated' or sub
stitute leather
The shoe retailers were told that if
all shoes were made of all leather g.
100000 more hides per annum would
be required in this country alone, and
with hides practically in control of
the larger packing houses it cannot
be foreseen to what heights shoe
prices might soar.

payment of the semi annual interest
on the bonds of the internal and ex-
ternal debts due this month, accord
ing to a decision reached at cabinet
council which lasted until midnight.
The decision of the council was an
nounced by Querido Moheno, Mexican
foreign minister. who declared he had
been instructed to notify all foreign
governments of the default

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1S.-The fall
ure of the Mexican government to
meet It's most Important HudHCidl
obligation-the interest on its exter
nal and internal debt-emphasized TO
official washington that the Huerta
government really was in serious
financial distress.
That the United States by its policy
of financial blockade in preventing
the Huerta government from nego-
tiating loan was in measure re-
sponsible was frequently expressed in
official circles.
Mexlcans here, conversant with the
affairs of the Huerta government,
said that the reason for the default
was the high exchange rate They
said that while the interest amount
ed to approximately 100000 pesos
(s3. 500, ,000), the rate of exchange was
SO high that to convert that sum
into gold to pay the bondholders
would require virtually 21,000,000 Mex
ican pesos.
Although the great bulk of the
Mexican national debt is held in Eu-
rope, it is expected that such powers
will continue to allow the United
States to lead the external policies
toward Mexico with the intention of
later on looking to Washington for
support in. their demands for pro-
lection of the financial interests OF
their subjects.
