ASSERTS WOMAN
INTENDED TO KILL
Held in $500 Bail on Charge
of Discharging Re-
voIver.

Mrs. Gaetano Del Negro thirty
seven years old of 112h Garside street,
was held by Acting Judge Oehring in
the Second Precinct Court today in the
| gum of $500 to await the action of the
grand jury on the charge of discnarg-
! ing a loaded revolver with intent TO
kill.
Her counsel, Leonard Kalisch;
promised the court that there woulu
be no further disturbance In Garslde
street. which has been IN an almost
constant turmoil for weeks and which
illuminated about 5 o'clock yesterday
| afternoon, when revolver was as
charged.
! 1t Is a matter of dispute as to who
discharged the revolver Mrs. Del
Negroes sixteen year-old daughter
| Eva said that she did, and she was
! arrested yesterday ON the strength OF
her assertion, but, after the matter
was threshed out In court today, ACT
Ing Judge Oehring paroled the girl as
a witness and ordered the clerk TO
make the mother the defendant.
Gaetano Del Negro and his four
daughters, of whom Eva Is one, are
musicians who give private entertain
ments. They live in one-half or
two-and-a- half story double house,
and in the other half lives Mrs Anna
Schfani. Some weeks ago the Del
Negroes accused Mrs. Schiani OF max
ing sighting references to the musl-
clans and she was summoned into the
Second Precinct Court. Judge Herr
! listened to the story and told them all
I to go home and stay away from one
another.
They failed to maintain the peace,
however, and early this week Mrs.
! Schiani was awarded a verdict OF $40
in the Orange District Court in suit
| for defamation of character brought
against Mrs. Del Negro.
On that occasion Eva Del Negro
acted as counsel for her mother and
was complimented by the court, but
the evidence was against her Mrs.
! Schiani sued for $500. but her counsel,
IL. Victor D'Aloia, told the court she
would be satisfied with any verdict
as she only wanted to vindicate her
name.
! The families renewed their quarrel
yesterday and Eva Del Negro COM
planned to Plainclothesman Thomas
Audubato, of the Second precinct,
that Mrs. Schiani was the offender.
The girl was told to go home and pay
no attention to the other.

new pipe organ which was completed

Gated at the afternoon vesper services.
Rev. Grahams subject in his last

United States Public Health
Service Inspector Declares
Conditions Deserve High.
est Commentator.
DIR. WHITE SURPRISED
Contrast Between Other Fac
tories So Marked That the
Expert Is Greatly Amazed
At Working Conditions.
Richmond has the ideal factory for

Richmond has the ideal factory for
working women.
That was the statement made by
DR.. NJ. J. White. Of the United States
public health service, after he had
completed a thorough investigation of
the plant Of the Richmond Underwear
company, North Tenth street, today.
DR.. White was agreeably surprised
to find such excellent sanitary cOndi-
tions at the local factory because the
factories in other cities of the state
where women are employed are, as
general rule, so poorly constructed
and equipped as seriously to menace
the health of their employees.
Il did not know there was such a
factory in Indiana" was the astonished
comment of DR.. White after he had
completed his investigation.
Surprised at Conditions.
DR.. White has been assigned by the
United States government to investi-
gate conditions in Indiana factories
employing women, at the request Of
the Indiana Commission on Working
Women, created under an act of the
last legislature. His report will be
submitted at the next meeting of the
Legislature.
DR. White was assigned to visit one
factory employing women in all the
principal cities of the state. AS the
factories he has so far inspected have
been uniformly bad from a health
standpoint, he was under the impress
sion that all the factories on his list
were the "horrible examples" of the
state. He was immensely surprised
to discover that the Richmond Under
wear company's plant was one of the
-~'~et ~"~'+ary and best equipped in
the country.
Il have absolutely no criticism to
make of this Richmond factory said
DR.. White. unlike other factories
have visited it is admirably ventilated
and thoroughly lighted. Every care is
taken to safeguard the health Of the
employees, and the management is de-
serving Of the utmost praise. Every
factory in Indiana should show the
same interest in behalf of their work
ing women"

EATON man DENIES
NEWSPAPER REPORT
McClennan's Name Mention.
ed in Story of Suicide of
Local Woman.

Reports from Boston, Mass, saying
that Mrs. Sarah f. Fishel, of Rich
mond, Ind, had shot herself to escape
trial on a statutory charge involving
George B. Mcclellan, of Eaton. o.,
could not be confirmed. and no trace
Clellan denies any connection with the
affair. He was in Eaton at the time
of the reported suicide.
According to the Boston story, Mrs.
Fishel recently filed suit against Mrs.
Sarah Norton. of Worcester, Mass.
demanding $25,OO0 for the alleged
alienation of the affections of her hus-
band, Charles A. Fishel Mrs. Fish
els body was found later. dead from
a gunshot wound through the heart,
the report says.
1t is believed Mrs. Fishel lived in
Richmond before her marriage, and
probably is known by her maiden
name. Mrs. Sarah f. Fisher, who
owns a small grocery at 73S Sheridan
street, and whose husband, William
Fisher is a shoemaker at the same
place, says she has received letters
addressed to Mrs. Sarah Fishel, and
has always placed them in the mail
boxes without opening.
The following statement is credited
to William r. Scharton, attorney for
Mrs. Fishel:
she told me yesterday afternoon
that she was a good woman who had
been caught in a compromising situa-
ton where she could not clear her
name in a court trial. and that the
world would think her guilty, when
in reality she had gone to the room of
Mcclellan in good faith.
''It seems that she was brought up
in Richmond, Ind, and knew McClel-
Ian, who often came there from Eaton,
over the line, for many years. She
married and came east, and since her
separa lion from her husband, Charles
A. Fishel had occasionally met Nc
Clellan, who came east last Decem-

President Wilson Declares
Debate Has Degenerated
Into Attempt to Discredit
His New Administration.
FIRMLY HOLDS BILL
IS SURE TO PASS
Declares Knowland's Charge
of a Deal With Great Brit
ain Is the Growing Insult
of Debate.

WASHINTON, March 30-President
debate will not split the Democratic
party, and that his fight for repeal
will not be defeated. He stated today
that his chief regret in connection
with the debate was that what promis-
ed to be a dignified contest had de-
generated in an attempt to discredit
the administration.
He characterized Representative
charged that the president had made
deal with the British government as
the croWning insult of a number of
insults in the debate. All of the acrim-
ony shown against the administration
only makes more certain the result,
the president declared to his callers.
Takes New Stand.
The president today also took new
ground in advocating policy which
his opponents say is in violation of
the Baltimore platform. The president
points out that the Baltimore platform
contained two planks, one Of them re-
lterating the long standing principle
of the Democratic party against ship
subsidies or subsidies of any sort, and
the other affirming the tolls exemp-
ton policy.
The president declared there was no
question in his mind that free tolls is
a subsidy of the clearest type. and
that therefore, it violates not only a
plank in the Baltimore platform, which
takes precedence over the other, but
a we'll established Democratic policy.
Describes Situation.
In answer to a question as to wheth-
er he would say anything in regard to
the statement that he had made some
deal with William Pyrell. secretary to
Sir Edward Grey, British foreign min
lister, the president said:
'Of course that answers itself. 1t
is just the crowning insult of mum
ber of insults which have been in
troduced into this debate This whole
thing reminds me of a story l used TO
be fond Of telling of very effective
debater who sent a challenge down in
to a country very hostile to him. The
people down there did not like the job
very much but they put up the man
they liked best and who was general

Uncle Sam Sends Solicitors
to Merchants.

Several new orders have been is
sued effeCting the Richmond postof-

pOstOffiCe work.
One is the use of solicitors for par.
eel post business. Postmaster Haas
was authorized to send some empoye
of the office to business houses, man
nfaCturers and others to explain the
advantages of the parcel post for ship,
ping. 1t is believed that this will
materially increase the business, and
Mr.. Haas will take steps to send out
the solicitor.
Today several booklets were sent
from the postoffice department with
instructions to clerks to study Ger
tain phases of the postal laws and
prepare for an examination later
Clerks have never had easy access to
vital postal laws before and have
