ROOSEVELT STRIKERS
WERE SHOT IN BACK
Doctor Testifes at Inquiry as to Wounds
and Tells of DepIorable Conditions
Under Which Families Lived.

Roosevelt, n. j., Feb. 2O.The legisla-
tive committee which is investigating the
labor conditions here aud the recent fatal
strike outbreak resumed its work yes
terday.
John Cutti. one Of the strikers who
has not vet been taken back, told OF the
poor living conditions under the wage
rate that existed prior to the strike.
Similar testimony was given by Rev
Father Joseph Dzoidz, rector Of holy
Family Polish Catholic church.
Patrolman John Bowling of the Dor
ouah police, who was the first policeman
on the scene after the shooting at the
Williams & Clark plant depot, in which
the two men were killed was called TO
the stand yesterday afternoon.
DR.. Max Jacoby Of Roosevelt proved
to be the most interesting witness thus
far heard. He was one of the doctors
who attended the injured after the shoot
inc. He described how man after man
that he attended was shot in the back Of
the legs. one man was shot in the bacl;
OF the neck. These men, the doctor de-
clared. must all have had their backs
turned when they were shot.
Living conditions in the borough, he
said. we're vile. The poor families paid
little attention to sick children, he de-
clared, and seemed almost content 70 Yet
them die. A doctor was seldom called
until the child was dying, he asserted,
and then il seemed the doctor was called
more to insure a proper death certificate
than with any hope Of saving the lite Of
the child
Children were born and brought up
amid conditions that were indescribable,
he said. and families usually lived IN
three or four rooms. all small. The art
OF ventilation was unknown, and privacy
was thing unheard OF, he testified.

yesterday afternoon.
The British apparently suspected that
the oil the Oneka carried, ostensibly for
Bulgarian railroad use, really was des-
tined for Turkey.
The vessel was finally permitted TO
proceed to it's Greek destination TO dis
charge the cargo consigned TO that coun.
try. with the understanding that II
would return to Malta to enter a prize
court.
Standard Oil officials sought yesterday
to have the United States government
present facts to establish the innocent
character of the entire cargo, so as to
escape prize court proceedings.

DOINGS OF THE
LEGISLATURE
Continued from first pagel

mess, and he wished that at Washing
ton they might pattern after this states
body, in those respects. He described
the respect of legislators at Washington
for those who represent New England
states and while the New England
statesmen are not given to as much
oratory on the floor OF the House as
perhaps their southern or western broth
or members, they do their work in the
committeerooms and in other ways where
il is felt in forcible manner
The speaker also referred TO the high
standing of Vermont at Washington, the
result of the splendid record made by
Vermont statesmen in years past. In
speaking of legislation at Washington,
which he said was much the same as in
Vermont. he referred TO attempts made
by members from the Southwest or West
TO legislate something out OF nothing,
which our New England forefathers long
ago discovered could not be done
In closing, Congressman Greene said
that experience at Washington had
taught him TO believe that the political
conditions in Vermont were much purer
than in other parts OF the country. 1T IS
great satisfaction to represent con-
stituency that cannot be fooled" He
was greeted with hearty applause on
entering, closing, and during intervals
of his talk.
Legislative Doings.s
Senate bill 80, an act to provide for
indemnifying holder OF worthless
check or order, made special order for
yesterday was passed to a third reading
after various explanations. Mr.. Stone
Of Woodford tried TO have the bill laid
on the table and made a special order for
next week, but the motion was lost.
The House measure amending the act
creating livestock commissioner and
defining his duties was read the third
time and passed, after an amendment
was proposed by Mr.. Graham Of Rock
ingham so that the governor will be
forced TO approve the engaging OF as
sistants by the commissioner.
Other business of usual interest was
completed before the House adjourned at
4:30 o'clock, after putting in the long
est day of the session.
The Senate, by yea and nay vote,
20 to 2, passed Senate bill "a relating TO
the reading of the Holy Bible in the
planned that the bill was prepared for
the purpose Of avoiding sectarian views,
and that 80 such bills are now before a.
many legislatures. Senators Roberts and
LaFranehise were the two who voted
against the passage of the bill.
The House bill relating to the usage OF
muller cutouts on automobiles was or
dered to third reading, after an amend
ment had been made, so that fire trucks
are exempt from the law. A message
was received from the governor and or
dered to lie after being read in executive
session. A message of generalization
was voted to be given to Harland B,
Howe OF st. Johnsbury, recently appoint
ed L. S. district Judge to succeed James
r. Martin, deceased. A considerable
number of measures were ordered to lie
and a number of House bills were re-
ferred.
