MAYOR WILSON
 STILL CLINICS
 TO WARRENITE

Mayor Wilson was at his office in the City Hall. today. for the first time since Thursday. He has been so- journing at Ocean City, N. J.. with the "InvinetbIe Brigade of the Electric Cable Co. Today he said he had a fine time on his trip. When asked for a statement concerning the hear ing before Judge William H. Williams on the warrenite contracts, which he has been criticized for not attending, the mayor said;
 1T haven't had time to read up on what took place so I can't say any thing just now, except that 1t does not look as. if Bridgeport is to get the pavement that is needed this sum mer."
 Tn view of the fact you have in- sisted all along your only interest in the matter was to expedite the paving work, will you still insist the Warren- ite pavement be laid ?'' he was asked.
 T didn't order the pavement laid. The Common Council did that. The whole question seems to me one as to whether the Council has authority over the Paving and Sewer Commis- sion.'
 ''well the council didn't order any Warrenite pavement laid,' the mayor was reminded.
 That is true," he replied. ''the di- rector of public works and myself de- cided on the Warrenite pavement be- cause we. believe 1t is the best pave ment obtainable."
 ''We1 how do you feel about the matter how in view of what was brought out at the injunction hearing in New Haven ?''
 ''The matter is now with the court. I do not care to comment on it until the court has passed on the briefs that will be submitted replied the mayor.

 Compare, if one will, the failure of so many systems of profit sharing, Welfare work as we know it is much is many decades old and yet with all the experience gained the failures haev been so many that the question may we'll be raised today whether there 4s any known system of profit sharing which can be guaranteed to give ade- quafe results.
 It is the greatest possible tribute Go welfare work tha it has been so sig nally successful in it's very earliest years when after decaes of expert ments so theoretically desirable a prin- ciple as profit sharing cannot yet be carried out with anything like similar success.

.CHILD'S DEATH TO BE RE-ENACTED BY
 GIRL WITNESSES
Two Children to Show Coroner In Street How Baby
 Was Killed.

Evidence tending to show that little four year old Leonore Iannucci Of 189 Alex street met her death under the wheels of the beer wagon driven by William J. Keough. of 197 Grove street, of the firm of Keough & Mo- Levy, liquor dealers was introduced before Coroner John J. Phelan at a hearing held this morning. AS a re- suit, Coroner Phelan has ordered Keough to have his wagon on the spot this afternoon at o'clock. and the actual accurances of the accident will be gone over.
 Decision to re-enact the accident was the result of the testimony of two ten year old girls, Lizzie Roberto of 253 Davenport street and Rose Vane of 2S5 Hollister street, who testified that they saw the little girl crushed beneath the wheels of the wagon Two other witnesses Miss Grace Black and Miss Edna Black, both of 287 Daven- port street. who live directly across the street from where the accident took place. stated that in their opin-s ion the two girls could not have seen the wagon from where they stood
 Lizzie Roberto and Rose Vane testi- fled that, standing more than half a block distant, they saw a man climb upon the beer wagon. The child was playing in the street, and, as they turned, she fell beneath the wheels of the beer wa gon.
 Miss Grace Black and Miss Edna Black who live directly opposite the house before which the accident took place, testified that the two children were~playing in the street. They had seen Keough get off his wagon, and deliver a. case of beer. A short time before he returned, they saw the two children run to the opposite side of the street. They did not see the child when it went under the wheels, but saw the little form lying in the road way after, the beer wagon had gone.
 Dennis Moran of 125 Gem avenue testified that he was with KeOugh at the time They had driven from Stratford avenue to Davenport street to make a delivery. They stopped before the house. He stated that he saw two children playing on the op- posite side of the street, but did not the wagon was standing. He denied seeing the child run over.
 William J. Keough, driver, 197 Grove street, testified that he had got off to make a delivery. He did not recall seeing any children in the street Af- ter making the delivery. he climbed onA the wagon, took the reins out of the hands of Moran, turned his horses and drove away. He did not see child near the wagon, nor did he know that the wheels had crushed the child to death.
 It. is thought that the two children had crossed the street to get a piece of ice which was lying in the street. Coroner Phelan wishes to find out whether the child had craw1edk under the wagon in an effort to secure the ice, or whether the driver drove over the child in turning.

MUDRE.. IN A POST
 INORTEN STATEMENT I .EX0NERATES FRIEND

A post ante mortem statement from the lips kof Jos. Mudre, who died early this morning in the Bridgeport hos pital from a bullet wound received at the hands of his friend, Adam Benarik, of Ansonia, at Walnut Beach Sunday, taken at the Bridgeport hos pital yesterday by Coroner Eli Mix, is today said to completely exonerate Benarik from criminal responsibility.
 Though Coroner John J. Phelan, within whose territory the death oc- cured, will hold the inquest ton1or- row at Ansonia, the home of both men, the evidence secured by Cor oner Eli Mix of New Haven and Dep uty Sheriff w. T. Maher of the town in which the shooting occurred will be of great importance. Coroner Mix will cooperate in the inquest by de- livering a copy of the dying mans statements and other, evidence se- cured to Coroner Phelan.
 Benarfk has been released upon bonds of 8. 500, which the brother of the dead man was willing to furnish if necessary, so implicitly does he be- iieve the affair was an accident.

SUNDAY BALL PLAYERS GET
 LIGHT FINES
Judge Coughlin Obeys Statues, But Deprecates Law Obliging Him to Act.

Eight members of the Bridgeport Eastern Association baseball club and two of the PittsheId club with Umpire P. J. Brisham were fined S2.00 and costs each by Judge Coughlip at today's city court session for viola ton Of the Sunday laws in playing a game May r at Newfield park. In imposing sentence, Judge Coughlin took occasion to remark that, personally, he does not consider Sunday baseball the worst of crimes but that, accord ing to the statute, he would have to find the accused guilty.
 Reference was made to the decision of the common pleas court ruling that Sunday games are a violation or the statute. Judge Coughlin intimated that 1t is difficult to see why the New field park games are more of a viola ton than the many games played Sum days throughout the city. Judge E. s. Banks and President James H. O'Rourke of the association intimated that the fines will be paid without an appeal being taken, although a definite decision will probably not be made until tomorrow.
 Those fined were Robert Stow, Blossom Blum, Daniel Tierney, Jacob Boultes. Martin walsh. Henry Kerns, lFutz Ems Daniel Serrno of the BridEe- port club and Edward Bridges, Adolph Rettie of 2ittsfeld The last 3 came to Headquarters this morning, gave them selves nE and the warrants were serv- ed them by Lieutenant Charles IT. Suckley.
 None of the Bridgeport Pastors asso- citation. credited with being responsible for the prosecution, were noted in court
 After having his demurrer overrul- ed. Judge Banks made a plea for his clients and asked for light sentence. He said that the laws were such that a person is unable to do much on Sum- day and that the time to change them is in the legislature and during a legislative session. He felt sure that the prohibiting of baseball is not up- held by public sentiment and said that it is far better for people to st. tend a baseball game on Sunday tha% to participate in many of the other amusements provided or taken part in.
 Reference was made to the last at- tempt to amend the laws, when the baseball clause was defeated by a close vote He said that, after the vote was taken at least 20 voting against the amendment had come to him, said that they believed in a more open Sunday but voted as they did as they did not feel like explaining to their constf- tuentss had they voted otherwise.
 He admitted that, under the existing statute, there was nothing that tte presiding judge could do except nnd the accused guilty But he thought that the ofense was not so great as to merit more than a light fine The pnense was characterized as in reIa- ton to the statute and not against morality.

(MetaIlurigical and Chemical Engi-
 neeFing.)
 Eleven years ago, when the annual scale settlement was made between the amalgamated association of iron, steel and tin workers and the union tin plate mills, the only. change made in the scale was the adoption of the fol- lowing paragraph: That the company furnish ice or well water to it's em- p1oyes.'' Considering the nature of the work at the hot mills the demand of the men, thus compiled with. was cer- tainly a very modest one.
 The incident gives us a viewp oint. When barely over a, decs.cde ago, it re- quired the demand of a fairly strong labor organization to secure suitable drinking water for Smen whose occu- patton required them in summer to drink water not by the quart, but by the gallon, per turn, it is doubtful whether we are able, without such checks, to realize the sweeping char acter of the welfare work which has been in progress in recent years in the steel industry.
 The United States Steel corporation is recognized as the greatest leader in teh world, while among the "indepen- dent steel manufacturers it is com mon1y found that the larger the con- cern the more welfare work is done. There is ground, in the existing facts, for formulating general principle that the larger the nanufa curing in terest the more likely it is to adopt the comprehensive plans for improve ing the working and home conditions of it's employees. The work has been principally of a pioneer nature and large interests are more ablc to do such work than small interests. When practices have become well established the difficulties in the way of the small CT interests are removed.
 Welfare work. including mill santa tion, establishment of hospital depart ments, beautifying mill surroundings, provision of rest places, protection against accidents, playgrounds for em-
