INDUSTRY URGED
TO SAVE J0BLESS
Unemployment Aggravated, Not
Cured, by Charity, Says Asso-
citation for Poor Report.

In the annual report Of the Associa-
tion for Improving the Condition OF the
Poor. Bailey b. Burritt, general direc-
tor, shows that, although the unemploy-
ment situation was never more eftci-
emily and intelligently handled than
during the last winter, with its serious
industrial depression, the real solution
of the problem lies in preventative
measures.
at is increasingly clear" says Mr..
Burritt, "that relief organizations can
not solve the unemployment problem.
Relief organizations in normal times
cannot safely and continuously provide
relief for families in which there is an
able-bodied man who is more than tenn
porarily out of work. Relief under
these conditions means permanent
subsidy to industries employing such
labor, and tends ultimately to aggrayate
rather than relieve the situation. The
problem must be solved by industry
itself"
During the fiscal year ending Sep
TENDER 80, 1915, the gross expenditures
of the association was S786,000, an in
crease of more than 100000 in two
years. The associations relief bureau
cared for some 10000 families during
the year, with total disbursements ex-
ceeding those of the previous year by
"a per cent. The heaviest month was
February, when 5000 families, including
10000 individuals, were taken care Of.
The activities Of the associations
department of social welfare included
tie opening of the Peoples Kitchen, .
wet wash laundry, and three food
supply stores. At the kitchen hot
meals were served at a very low cost
to homes and factories, and for factory
workers, school children and others in
the restaurant connected with it. Four
cents was the average price for the
1864 portions Of food dispensed.

SUFFRACISTS SEEK
BEST WAY TO WIN
Federal Amendment or More
State Work, Question Argued.

Whether the cause Of woman suffrage
can be best served by working toward
the Federal amendment exclusively or
by concentrating for few years longer
upon State work, was the question
argued last night at a meeting Of the
Collegiate Equal Suffrage League, at
the home of Miss Helen Potter, $50
West End Avenue.
Mrs. Raymond Brown, chairman Of
the New York State Campaign Commit
tee, was in favor of the State referen-
dunn, and a more gradual approach to
the matter of Federal amendment.
isn't it possible that we may too
lightly enter into the question of a
national amendment, and In our haste
get it defeated, so that it may not come
up again for the next so years 2" she
asked.
Mrs. Brown said further that New
York was the only suffrage state in a
position to bring any pressure to bear
upon its legislature. and that she feared
that Congressman would be merely an
tagonized by beng approached from too
many avenues on the question OF the
Susan B. Anthony amendment.
"To my mind, this last election has
proved conclusively that we cannot win
tho state" said Mrs. Charles Beard.
who argued working exclusively for the
Federal amendment.
GAS for antagonizing the men, we
take what they say with a grain Of
salt" Mrs. Beard, remarked.

Will Inherit 100000.

Edward II. Worthington, son Of
Charles C. Worthington, capitalist, and
nephew of Henry R. Worthington,
millionaire steam pump Manufactured
made his prayer, but it availed him
nothing. He confessed his faithless-
ness to his wife, Mrs. Janet B. Worth
ington, and begged her to condone his
offences and take him back.
Mrs. Worthington's answer was to
sue for divorce. The husband made no
denial of the allegations, and justice
Giegerich awarded alimony at $50 q
month. Justice Giegerich remarked
that he would not be JUSTIFIED in giving
more, as the financial responsibility OF
the young mans father could not be
taken into consideration. Cyril +. Dos
Passos, lawyer for Mrs. Worthington,
will receive $3.50 under the court order.
Some day Worthington will come into
at least 100000 in in..eritances, be.
sides about $4,000 he has received
from his mother, Mrs. Julia Hedden
Worthington. At the present, as he
explained, he is receiving 500 month
from the Shawnee Mower Company,
owned by his father, collects $50 a
month rent from house at Irvington,
left by his mother. and has free board
with his father at Shawnee-on-Dela-
ware, where the elder Worthington
owns a hotel.
But at no time, said the young man,
has his father given him more than
5000 as a present. And besides Worth
ington lost his position as salesman
with the Power Speciality Company, Of
Chicago, because Of his trouble with his
wife, who was compelled to appeal to
the New York Office Of the concern for
financial aid.
Mrs. Worthington was Miss Janet
Burnett when she married Worthing-
ton in Welland, Canada, in 1909. Her
father is the United States District At
torney at Stroudsburg, Penn. Worth
ipgton's mother obtained divorce from
his father. The younger Mrs. Worthing-
ton was a favorite of her husbands
mother and the latter remembered her
in her will with bequest of diamond
necklace and ring
"Jack" was the pet name Worthing-
ton used for his wife, and that is the
way he addressed her when he sought
to smooth over the rough part in their
matrimonial path following the wife's
discovery. Worthington, apparently,
was not willing to meet his wife face
to face, for when she notified him she
was going to Chicago to see him he
telegraphed that he was being called to
Kansas City.
Mrs. Worthington sought verifcation
of this statement from the Power Spe-
cialty Company's local Office. She
learned that her husband had no bust
ness in Kansas City at that time,
whereupon Mrs: Worthington entrained
for Chicago. That was a month and a
half ago. She met Worthingtop at the
Congress Hotel. He is quoted as say
ingi "Yes, I've been unfaithful TO you.
II you will forgive me everything and
let me live with you again | will make
a complete confession"
There was not even tacit assent to
this proposition by Mrs. Worthington,

lowed by tea and dancing. Miss Elsie
Janis entertained and Alexander Powell
told some war stories.
The greatest crowds gathered to ad-
mire the Calve dolls, dressed by the
singer herself. They were two Manon
dolls and a Carmen. Autograph photo
graphs of Nine. Calve are being sold

Edward Sawtelle, q sister Of Worthing-
ton, at Englewood, n. J. There, it is
alleged, Worthington repeated his con-
fession, accusing himself OF the acts
charged by his wife.
Mrs. Worthington wanted a COM
plete confession, and she threatened to
reveal her husbands life for the last
year unless he did so himself. He con-
sented to tell his brother-in-law, Saw

that purpose. On their return to the

Worthington her husband was sorry
for his conduct. Sawtelle even asked
forgiveness for Worthington, which

Isolated Cells Function.
The functioning of cells from warm

new feature in the experiments of DR..
Carrel and Mr.. Hern.
DR.. W. T. Castle, of Harvard Univer-
sity. awakened considerable interest at
the morning session by declaring the
experiments conducted by his biological
department, with the aid OF the Car
negie Institute, were tending to restore
the Darwinian theory of selection to Its
former authoritative position.

estimation as an agency capable o'

biologist may well take warning from

A paper read by Herbert S. Jennings

MORE SYMPATHY
FROM GERMANY
Kaiser's Government Expresses Regret il
Any Americans Lost Their Lives in
Sinking of Arabic.

| Washington, D. c., Aug 25.-Count
Won Bernstorff, the German ambassador
communicated to the state department
yesterday instructions from his govern
ment, expressing regret and sympathy II
Americans lost their lives in the sinking
of the liner Arabic and asking that the
United States delay taking a definite
stand in regard to the affair until Ger.
many could be heard from.
This was the first word from an Off
cial German source concerning the Arabic
on which two Americans perished. Its
receipt was followed by an evident re-
taxation of the tension which had been
growing here as days passed with no
indication of desire on Germany's part
to disclaim an intention of committing
an act deliberately unfriendly" toward
the United States. No attempt was
made either at the state department or
the White House to interpret the ambas-
sador's communication. Officials merely
said that of course the American govern
ment would await the German explana-
tion of the action OF the submarine com
mander in sinking the liner.
Count Won Bernstorff telegrsphed the
state department from New York the
text of his instructions from Berlin.
Secretary lansing Indicated he did not
intend to reply TO the ambassadors mes
sage at this time. He said he had no
comment to make.
Particular attention was attracted
here by the assertion in the German
that in the opinion Of
the imperial government the accounts Of
the sinking of the Arabic which have
come from England could not correspond
with fact.
