of Editor.

PARIS, March GA mutiny vas
threatened today by the 500 women
incareerated in the st. Lazare prison,
all of whom object to the granting Of

laux. the slayer of Castor Calmette.
The punishment cells of the jail are
filled with refractory women, WHO
continue to shrek protests against
discrimination"
Attorneys representing number of
the prisoners awaiting trial in the
penitentiary made representations to-
day to the ministry of justice de-
manding that the cells should be
heated and that better food should be
supplied To their clients.
The temperance before the inves-
tigating magistrate of Madame call
laux aroused great interest in Paris

I.azare prison TO the palace of justice
in custody OF a number of detectives.
Strong guards We're placed in the Vi
cinity OF the law courts to prevent

WOMAN PREVENTS
ROBBERY OF POST
OFFICE BY OUTCRY
Robbers in Arlington Disturbed
at Work-Fire Revolver
Shot at Departure.

Mrs. Thomas Gordon, of $50 Devon
street. Arlington, early today frus-
trated what is believed to have been
an attempt to rob the Arlington post
office, located at 157 Midland avenue.
Arlington. A shot was fired at the
woman WREN she made an outcry.
The bullet went wide of its mark,
however.
1t was shortly after o'clock when
Mrs. Gordon was awakened by a
noise. She peered from a window and
saw four men at the rear door of the
postohice. When the woman screamed
for help the four hastily picked up
their tools and started away To
reach the street it was necessary for
them to pass beneath Mrs Gordon
window. As the last man passed he
pointed a revolver sIsyward and fired
a shot in the direction of Mrs, Cor
don. The woman, however, had fallen
back on her bed when she saw the
men start away.
The men ran north on Devon street
and escaped.
1t was found one Of the panels OF
the door had been cut away and a
lock removed. The men had located
a safety bar and was working to re-
lease it when Mrs. Gordon sounded
the alarm. There is a possibility the
men came from New York. as the
postofliee is located only a short dis
tance from the Arlington station of
the Greenwood Lake division of the
Erie Railroad
Mrs. Gordon said today the men
grabbed UP several articles which
were on a box and packed them into
q grip when she made an outery 1t
is believed they were professionals.
Because of the similarity of the sound
it was said today that persons who
heard the shot believed it to have
been a railroad torpedo. The matter
was not reported to the police until
shortly before o'clock, when Post
master Felix S. jacobson acquainted
the authorities,
There are two safes in the post
office and it is said there was n large
quantity of money and stamps in one
of the two. The police and postofiice
authorities are investigating.

BOY, 6 YEARS OLD,
SHOOTS AND KILLS
HlSSlSIER, AGED {
Lad With Uncle's Revolver Puts
Bullet Through Young
ster's Heart.

James Falcone, six years old. made
his sister, Rose, five years old. stand
against the wall with her hands
above her head in the home of their
uncle, Joseph Sposito, at II HancoX
avenue, Nutley yesterday afternoon,
Just as he had seen pictures of the
execution of Mexican prisoners. Then,
from his position across the room,
he shot her through the heart.
The parents of the children, Mr.
and Mrs. Giuseppe Falcone, of King
street, Nutley, were In another room
when they heard the shot. When the
mother ran into the room Rose was
still standing against the wall, but
her hands were at her heart and her
face bore an expression of agony. AS
the mother reached here the little
girl fell limp and died. James still
held the revolver.
When Chief of Police Wright Sut-
eliffe arrived he made the boy re-
hearse the scene. The little fellow
walked over to q bureau, took out the
revolver. and showed in detail how
he had killed his sister. He was not
able, however, to pull the trigger.
When County Physician Mckenzie
arrived the boy was again told to re-
hearse the scene, and this time was
able to pull the trigger of the re-
Volver twice.
Chief Sutcliffe and DIR. Mckenzie,
satisfied that the affair was acci-
dental, gave permission for the re-
moval OF the body.
After the body was taken home the
boy sat behind the stove in the
kitchen and took no interest what
ever in the preparations being made
for the funeral of his victim. 1t was
evident that the boy had little or no
idea of what had occurred. He fell
asleep behind the stove and was put
to bed.
Falcone. the father, stated that the
children had played together ever
since they were able to know what
play was, and never once had had
any trouble.
In speaking of the case. DR.. McKen-
zie said that II was a mystery to him
how the youngster had managed to
pull the trigger. as the boy insisted
he held the revolver with but one
hand.
Joseph Sposito. the uncle. owner Of
the revolver, declared he had forgot
ten that It was loaded or that he
even possessed a weapon.

BILL APPROVED
BY METHODISTS
Conference in Session Here
Takes Action on Liquor
Traffic Measures.

The Newark conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, in ses-
sion In the Halsey Street NJ. e.
Church. today took action on sew
eral bills to regulate the liquor traffic
in the State, now pending in the Leg
islature.
The conference passed a resolution
approving Senate bill 1874. introduced
by Senator Smicll, of Salem, and
known as the local option bill. The
resolution says in part:
ut is time the Legislature gave the
right Of government on the LIQUOR
question TO the municipalities OF the
state and paid some heed to the
demand of thousands of citizens as
voiced by practically all evangelical
denominations of the State of New
Jersey, and which has no opposition
except from the liquor traffic and
from the affiliated selfish interests
The conference also commended to
the favorable consideration of the
Legislature" Assembly bill go, which
provides for the publication of the
names of all applicants for liquor
licenses.
A resolution was adopted protesting
against Assembly bill 6S1. which
authorize the sale of liquor after / D.
m. on sunday, and another resolution
was adopted protesting against AS
sembly bill 6S4. which would permit
the sale of drinks with meals on Sun
days.
This measure Is especially vicious"
the resolution asserts because II
opens to the sale of liquor on Sun
days various roadhouses visited by
joy riders and under insufficient po-
lice superVision -
Appointments and transfers to be
made by the Newark conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church are
under consideration this afternoon by
Bishop Luther t. Wilson and his
cabinet in session at the Continen-
tai Hotel No intimation Of what
might be done was given by Bishop
Wilson today
Everything will be known to-
night" he said.
Reports of committees We're read
at today's business session OF the
conference, which was an executive
one. Following the reading Of the
report of the committee on minis
ters and laymen, the conference voted
that the minimum salary of a min
lister shall be $500 Where the in
come Of "a charge does not reach
that amount the difference shall be
supplemented by the conference, out
Of fund established for that pur-
pose. This is an annual increase of
$500 over the previous minimum sal
airy.
In his report, Rev Warren r. Neff,
president of the Conference Insur-
ance Society, urged all conference
members TO join the society thus
reducing expenses and rates.
Rev. r. Il. Urmy presided at to-
days devotional services. The ser
mon was preached by Rev. Fred c.
Baldwin, of the William Street NJ.
r.. Church. of East Orange.
In his annual sermon delivered yes
terday at the Halsey Street Church
Bishop Wilson sounded q warning to
the dangers of twentieth century civ
ilization. He said.

thinking. has passed calvary and the
cross. If this is so, then / say turn
back and start toward Calvary and

STATEMENT BY
ASQU|TH EASES
ULSTER TENSION
Governments Intention To-
ward Officers Who Resigned
Misinterpreted, His Inference.
SIR ARTHUR FACETS VIEW
NOT WARRANTED, BELIEF
Meeting of Cabinet Follows
Conference of Leaders in
War Office.

LONDON, March 23.--A much easier
feeling has been created in the Brit
ish Isles by the reasSuring state
ment given out by Premier Asquith
TO the effect that the troop move
ments in Ulster has been ordered only
as . precautionary measure for the
protection of government property.
The inference is generally drawn
from the premier's remarks that the
governments intention toward army
officers who did not desire to serve
against the Orangemen had been
misinterpreted.
The public in all parts of the
United Kingdom awaited eagerly to-
day the explanation of the cabinet in
the House Of Commons, to which
place the Irish controversy has been
transferred.
In some quarters there was an in
elination to believe that General Sir
Arthur Paget, commander in chief in
Ireland. had placed q much graver in
depreciation upon the governments
inquiries as to the feelings of army
officers in the Irish garrsons than
was intended.
He presented an ultimatum to the
officers that they must serve or re-
sign. Sir Arthur always has taken a
serious view of the threatened re-
fusal of officers to serve in Ulster
1t is understood that he followed his
public warning to them by private
intimation that their resignation
would not be quietly accepted by the
war office.
General Paget, Brigadier General
Hubert Cough, commander of the
cavalry brigade at the Curragh, and
other officers attached TO the Irish
garrisons reached London this morn
ing and Immediately went to the war
office to confer with Colonel John
Seely, secretary for war, and Field
Marshal Sir John French. This con-
ference was followed by a full meet
ing of the cabinet.
