TRIES TO END LIFE
Deserted and Dispossessed
Woman Attempts to Jump
Into Canal. e

Despondent because she had been
disposed from her home. and because
her husband had deserted her, taking
away their child, Mrs. Margaret
Stewart, twenty three years old, tried
to end her life by jumping into the
Morris canal yesterday.
Patrolman McGlade, of the Fifth
precinct, arrived just as the woman
was about to leap from the bank. he
seized her. and despite her frantic
efforts to break away took her to the
Fifth precinct station house. where
she was locked up on charge OF at
tempted suicide.
When the woman faced Judge Herr
in the Second Precinct Court today
the Judge recognized her as girl who
had appeared before him five years
ago to appeal for the release of Rob
ert Stewart, who had been arrested
for stealing from the Lackawanna
railroad freight yards. The court was
so impressed by her pleading at that
time that Stewart was released when
he agreed to marry the girl. The
ceremony was performed in the court
room bv Court Clerk Oehring.
Mrs. Stewart said she and her hus-
band had lived together happily until
recently, when in a fit of rage Stew
art ordered her from their nome
Then, the woman told the court, her
husband took their only child ana
went away. She said she has not seen
him since.
Since the departure of her husband,
Mrs. Stewart said, she has found 1t
practically impossible to support her
self. She struggled along as best she
could, she said, but last Thursday her
landlord, angered at her failure to pay
her rent, had her dispossessed from
her home, 149 Norfolk street. From
that time until she tried to jump into
the canal. Mrs. Stewart said, she had
been wandering the streets, and had
all but starved.
Judge Herr paroled the woman, and
directed Detective Fletcher to obtain
from the Overseer of the Poor war
rant for arrest of Stewart, charging
him with desertion and non-support.

WAR INCREASES
CHAR|TY'S TASK
Organizations Will Be Conn.,
PEELED to CurtaiI Work of
Helping the Needy.

Local charitable organizations are
feeling the increased burden caused
by the present high cost of living
and by unsettled industrial con-
ditions. They are affected directly by
the increased cost of foodstuffs.
Present Industrial conditions have
thrown many persons out of employ
ment, and the organized charities are
called upon to care for many more
cases of distressed families and indi-
viduals than is usual at this time of
the year.
The charities are hampered by a
lack of funds during the summer
months. as most of the private con-
tributions are received during other
parts of the year. Several of the
societies say that they will be I'M
able to carry out contemplated work
unless more money can be raised, and
all of the charities fell the seriousness
of the greater demand being made
upon them.
The Orange Fresh Air Society an
nounced Saturday that unless a con-
sldera bic sum of money can be raised
1t will be necessary to close it's fresh
air home at Bradley Beach by Sep
TENDER l, instead of at the latter part
of the month as at first planned.
If this is done, vacations must be
refused to many poor mothers and
children for whose accommodation ar
rangements have been made. Owing
to the nature of its work, the Orange
society is Immediately affected by
higher prices of food.
Arthur w. MacDougall superinten-
dent of the Bureau of Associated
Charities. said today that while the
bureau has been able to answer the
increased demand made upon it, the
seriousness of the situation is fully
realized. 1t comes at an unfortunate
time, he said, when the bureau de-
ponds for its support principally upon
funds raised during the other months
of re year.
Douglas P. Falconer, superintendent
of the Children's Aid Society said
that the direct effect of raised food
prices on the work of the society was
not very great. It's work is, however,
Increased, according to Mr.. Falconer,
by greater suffering in the homes due
to the high cost of living and the loss
of employment by many men.
