rate indicated greater degree of vigor
in the survivors. Now It is agreed that
the conditions which destroy so many of
the younger lives of the community
must also result in Gripping and MAIN
ing many others, must react unfavor-
ably upon the health of the entire
community.
THE city of Johnstown. Pa, was
chosen as the subject OF the first in
steel, and, to certain degree, coal
mining, employ q large portion Of the
male population, while most of the Wom-
en- remain at home.
The field work for this investigation,
which inquired into the social. civic, and
industrial conditions Of the family, to-
gether with a careful history of the
growth of the baby the first year Of life,
was begun on January Is. 1918, and con-
cluded May 26.
1T took four persons to complete the
work-one man agent and three women
one of whom was especially qualified as
a linguist. The tabulations are now in
progress and the report of this first
field inquiry will appear in the near
future"
Miss Lathrop next takes up the child
labor studies.
In view Of the fact that, the evils
of child labor were strongly set forth
by those who advocated the bill in Con-
gress, it has been thought by many
that the bureau was charged primarily
with the investigation of child labor
she says. 1.-THE law, however. explicitly
gives the bureau a larger task in which
the study of child labor is only one sub
ject.
"a review of child labor legislation

and is now nearly ready for the press:
We have aimed, in the second part o.
this review to present a comparative
summary by States, of the laws, show
ing the present status of child labor
legislation in the United States

THE bureau also proposes to issue
annual bulletins showing from year to
year the methods and results of all
communities. doing significant work in
baby welfare. AS a preliminary to this
publication, letters were sent to the lO9
cities of this country having more than
$1,000 inhabitants, requesting informa-
ton they had employed in the work OF
life saving. The replies were full OF
practical suggestions. A series on pre-
natal care, a handbook of Federal sta
tistics of children are also to be issued. u
Miss Lathrop acknowledged the CO
operation of the Central Federation OF
Women's Clubs.
In taking UP the needs for the future
Miss Lathrop referred to her staff oi

| even the most superficial survey of the

Miss Lathrop also recommends the
| STRENGTHENING OF the bureau library.
| Upon these needs she bases her re-
quest for q larger appropriation. She
proposes six principal divisions: Ad

ice division, statistical division and the

Murder.

NEWARK. n. j., Feb. 1I.-Charles 1.
Manning, whose wife was shot to death
by Hazel Herdman. and who is charged
with concealing knowledge of the mur-
der, has been released in 5000 bail in
the second criminal court. Casper j.
Dries, hotel keeper of Verona. fur
nished the bail. Manning left with his
counsel, Frank NJ. McDermit. and re-
fused to make a statement.
Dries offered to go on the bail bond of
Mrs. Saidcc E. Garrabrants. sister of
Manning, also arrested for concealing
knowledge of the murder before she was
released. but he was turned down, as
the property was also in his wife's
name. Then Mrs. Dries went to the
registers office in the court hero and
had the property transferred to John L.
Mullins, of Montclair. who subse-
quentlv retransferred it to Dries. The
latter went to court and qualified as a
bondsman.
Mrs. Garrabrants admitted that Hazel
Herdman came to her house last Friday
after killing Mrs. Manning and confess
cd the murder She said that about 2
o'clock that afternoon she asked Miss
Herdman to go to the theater, but she
refused. She said that the girl told
her to go alone and she would wait
for her to come home. Mrs. Cara
brants went out and returned about 5
o'clock. Hazel was not there. An
hour later she came in excited and
nervous.

Mrs. Garrabrants said she declared. az
told her l didn't believe her, and she
went to her room. did not see her
again until the night when she was
taken to Newark by the police.
Hazel was emotional and tempera-
mental and loved my brother madly.
She could not think of any one else
bearing any affection for him and was
even jealous of me and my other sis
ters. She often spoke of marrying
him and expressed her hate Of Mrs.
Manning, who stood in her way.
II knew of course of the relations
of Hazel and my brother, and that they
had baby, but l did just what any
other sister would do-tried to shield
them and gave them the protection of
my home"

Those Believed Responsible
for Mysterious Case.
DIRECTOR OF BUREAU SAYS
FOUR OR FIVE SUSPECTED
Secret Service Operatives and
Washington Police Are Busy
Today.

Joseph z. Ralph, director of the Bu-
reau of Engraving and Printing, today
announced that suspicion for the mys-
terious disappearance, and equally mys-
teious reapparance, of the sheets Of
bank notes had been narrowed to four
or five individuals.
Secret Service operatives and Wash
ington detectives are drawing the net
closer on those believed to have been
responsible for the theft
Mr.. Ralph declared he did not have
even a thought that the bills might
have been taken with a view to dis
creditinE his administration, but he was
confident this was a plain case OF
theft.
1t was the realization that the num-
hsr Of persons who could possibly be
suspected was being limited, Mr.. Ralph
believes, that induced the return OF
the notes. The investigation. he said,
has been in progress several weeks, Mr.,
Ralph declined to tell how the money
was returned on the ground that II
might thwart the investigators in fixing
the blame.
