OFFSPRING OF HEN
MEETSST|CKY END
Faithful Gladys Lured by Inviting
Softness Of Strange Nest
Makes Costly Mistake.

NORTH ARLINGTON. N. j.. Aug A.
This Is the pathetic tale Of William Ak
ems little brown hen Gladys. who al
most came to. An untimely end in a tar
barrel while in the faithful performance
Of her duty. This is how 1t happened:
Gladys ia an industrious bird. Every
day she adds to the Aiken larder one
nice fresh egg. She chose an inviting
looking barrel near the chicken coop
in which to leave her daily contribution.
The barrel was half full Of tar. but
Gladys settled down in the soft, sticky
mass with a little cluck OF content.
Pretty soon. with a satisfied cackle. she
tried to fly out again. but she was stuck
fast.
Her squawks brought william Aiken.
jr.. and William Flanagan. who were
playing In the barn, to her aid. In a
moment they were almost as powerless
as the hen, for when they thrust their
hands into the tar to pull her out they.
too. stuck fast.
Some one called Chief Of Police
Riepe. BY dint of much pulling he
finally loosed the two boys and removed
most of Gladys.
Part of her tail feathers. however,
and nearly all of the down over her
wishbone section stayed in the tar. The
egg. too. could not be pried out. but
the resourceful officer solved this dif-
1culty by punching a hole through the
shell and sucking the contents through
straw.

.EASTLANDI INQUIRY
Gompers Demands Disaster Be
Probed by Commission Of
Fair-Minded Citizens.

Demand for an investigation OF the
Eastland disaster by commission OF
disinterested and fair-minded citixens'
is made in a letter which has been sent
to President wilsSh by Samuel Gompers.
president OF the American Federation
Of Labor.
Observing in this letter that the at
tention Of the Government had been
drawn to serious charges preferred
against inspectors on the Great Lakes
a year ago by the Chicago Federation
OF Labor. whose officials at that time
reported the over-crowding OF lake
steamers. Gompers continues:
'Sincc all our inspection agencies have
proved woefully inadequate. would 1t
not be a travesty on justice. would It
not make light Of the value OF human
lives that were destroyed In the East
land and the value of other human
lives that shall be intrusted to other
vessels. to permit an investigation OF
the Eastland horror to be made by the
inspection officials who are In some
degree at least responsible for the
disaster that has taken place?
Can we hope to get at the facts In
the case7 Can we hope to establish
PRINCIPLES that will enable US to devise
constructive measures to guard against
future disasters by permitting the vari-
GUS inspection agencies to investigate
their own work and to make final re-
port on the same7
Permit me to urge upon you with the
greatest earnestness the necessity OF
taking the Investigation Of the Eastland
disaster out Of the hands Of the inspec-
tors who are responsible and appointing
a commission Of disinterested fair-mind-
ed citizens to make an impartial investi-
cation and whatever recommendations
they may deem wise.
I'm this connection. also. let me urge
upon your attention how completely the
Eastland disaster refutes all Of the
arguments that have been urged In
| order to bring about amendment or re-
peal Of the seamen's act. a measure de-
signed to protect human life. II. as a
nation. we have regard for the value
and the sacredness of human life. II
