FALSE ADV.
Manufacturers Outline Cam
paign at Spring Meeting
Here Today.

Steps to prevent false advertising
of imitation leather were taken by
the Patent and Enameled Leather
Manufacturers Association at their
annual spring meeting in the Newark
Board of Trade rooms today. 1t was
reported that considerable work along
| this line has already been accom-
plished,
The manufacturers decided to in
struct their statesmen to look for false
or misleading advertisements in the
publications of all the towns and
cities which they visit. Such adver-
tisements will be forwarded to James
| b. Reilly, of this city, secretary of the
association.
The dealers in imitation leather will
be warned by Mr.. Reilly that they
will be prosecuted unless the adver-
tisements are discontinued. Twenty
| eight States, including New Jersey,
have laws against false and mislead-
! ing advertising, according to Mr..
| Reilly.
r. c. Good. of the Lackawanna
Leather Company, of HackettstoWn,
who represented the association at
| the annual convention of the Uphol-
stored Furniture Manufacturers As
| sociation in Chicago two weeks ago,
reported that that organization will
cooperate in the campaign against
! false advertising.
Crusade Effective Here.
According to Mr.. Reilly much work
has been done by the Patent and
Enameled Leather Manufacturers As
sociation in preventing the advertis-
ing of imitation feathers as genuine
leather, particularly in New Jersey
and in New York. Very little of tbs
advertising is now seeen in these
States, Mr.. Reilly said.
James f. Taylor, of the American
Oak Leather Company, of Cincinnati
presided at the meeting. Other mem
bers who attended were Abraham
Rothschild, of Stengel & Rothschld;
James Smith, 3D. of J. III. Halsey &
Smith: Peter Loehnberg, of the At
lantic Leather Company: James T.
Smith, of the Hugh Smith Leather
Company; John f. Conroy, of e. S.

that time it is reported that the girl
was making purchases and was
garbed in a new brown dress, new

would make it all the more probable
that her niece has fallen into white

This statement by Mrs. De Witt
seems inconsistent because the De
Witt girl is the only girl ever re-
ported missing from the South Side
, High School, which is compare

Harry Smith, of 6S5 South Nine

he met the girl at Nineteenth street
and Nineteenth avenue at 10:15

girl acted strangely and said Hello
several times. He said that the gir
appeared nervous, as if waiting 70

Brooklyn Woman, Suddenly

Tragedy.

NEW YORK, May 26.-Mrs. Char

an architectural engineer, employed
by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com
pany, was found dead today, with a
bullet in her heart, in a bedroom, of
her home, at 81 Eastern Parkway,
an exclusive residential section of
Brooklyn.
In an adjoining room lay two of
her three children, Josephine, one
year old, and Francis, aged four,
with cords drawn tightly around
their necks. The boy was later re-
vived but the baby died.
The bodies were found by Mrs.
Meiden, Mrs. O'Neills sister, who
forced window and entered the
building when repeated knocking at
the door brought no response. De-
tectives who visited the O'Neill home
said that it was their theory that
Mrs. O'Neill became suddenly de-
mented, tied the cords around the
children's necks and then, believing
them dead, shot and killed herself.
A revolver lay on the floor near her
body.

was expected today to offer reso-
luton providing for the appointment
of a committee to investigate the
New York Presbytery.
Another resolution had been pre-
pared declaring that in approving the
report yesterday the. assembly did
not mean to imply moral turpitude
on the part of the directors of the
seminary. Yesterdays action of the
assembly means that the relations
between the seminary and the assem-
bly, are exactly as they were before
that the seminary admittedly is out
side the jurisdiction of the assembly,
inaSmuch as it has ceased to be

Before the assembly convened to-
day 1t was reported that the execu-
tive commission would give a deliV-
erance in the case of Rev. Charles
Stelzle, Maplewood, N. j., formerly
member of the Presbyterian Home
Mission Board, who has complained of
being unjustly adjudged a Socialist
on account of his writings and
speeches. A declaration disappearing
the trial of Mr.. Stelzle, it is said, will,
by indirection, relieve ministers of
the Presbyterian Church of the dread
of being branded as Socialists be-
cause of their activity and interest
in community service.

WILSON SPEAKS TO
CHINESE VISITORS
Welcomes Business Men from
Far East Studying Our
Methods.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Deep in
terest in the future of China was eX-
pressed by President Wilson today in
welcoming the commission of Chinese
business men touring the United
States to study commercial methods.
The president told them the interest
of the people of the United States in
China was not merely a commercial
or a professional interest.
Headed by Kai Flu Shah, the Chi
nese minister, the delegation was re-
ceived in the blue room of the White
House. Each member of the party
was personally introduced by the min
ister
Spokesman for the commission told
the president they brought greetings
from the Chinese republic to the
president and people of the United
States and that they would endeaVor
to make their republic a real sister.
Replying, President Wilson spoke as
follows:
ut is not a mere form that I go
through in expressing to you our
very cordial welcome to the United
States. 1 think that l can say to you
with the acquiescence of all my fell
low countrymen that our interest in
China is not merely a commercial in
terest and is not merely professional
interest. The people of the United
States are deeply and sympathetically
interested in China and in the un-
limited future that lies before your
great republic.
"We have, of course, naturally re-
ioiced to see you adopt form of gov
ernment which seems, to us, the best
vehicle of progress, the republican
form of government; and it has been
a great satisfaction to feel that your
great nation. with its unlimited ca
pacity and possibilities, is to be linked
with ours IN what we hope will be a
common conception of liberty and the
progress of mankind.
81 hope sincerely that everything
has been done for your comfort and
convenience, and If anything has been
overlooked or omitted that you will
give us the advantage of any sugges-
ton, so that we may put ourselves
at your services My welcome is
hearty, and / am sure that every true
American would wish to cooperate
with me and join me In this well
come"
