HOUCHT0N SAYS
ATTACK ON HIM
WAS BAD TASTE
Special to the h,ANINe NEWS.

6pecfuI 70 INC " hNINU MT WS.
New brunswick, Feb. 1:-Sheriff
Edward F. Houghton today answered
the attack made upon him at the la
Dor meeting in Perth Amboy yester-
day by declaring that it was bad taste
to so agitate. Stating that he believed
in maintaining dignified silence un-
til after the grand jury probe, he held
that the passage of the resolution as
was done at the labor meeting, and
other agitation by strikers, was bad
taste, especially so before the termi-
nation of the grand jury investiga-
tion.

100 MEN RESUME
WORK TODAY At
ARMOUR PLANT.
Roosevelt Fertilizer Plant Re-
Sumes Operations as Probe
is Continued in New Bruns-
wick Before Grand Jury.

About one hundred strikers return
ed to work at the Armour fertilizer
works in Roosevelt this morning,
having been granted pay at the rate
of twenty cents an hour. There are
still some watchmen, formerly known
as deputies, at the works of the Will
liams and Clark and Liebig concerns
in the borough. The grand jury probe
to determine the murderers of two
strikers as result of the labor diff
ficulty, was resumed in the county
office building in New Brunswick this
morning. Sheriff Edward F. Hough-
ton issued a statement today concern
ing agitation by strikers and sympa-
thizers. He held that the passage of
such resolution as was done yester
day, together with similar agitation,
was bad taste.
Not Called to Testify.
Contrary to expectations, Sheriff
Houghton and Mayor Hermann, the
latter of Roosevelt, have not been
called to testify before the jury thus
far today. They may be called late
this afternoon, or tomorrow. The ad-
dition of about thirty witnesses, for
whom subpoenas have been issued
from the prosecutors office, may
cause the investigation to be contin-
ued until late In the week. W. b.
Keller, assistant superintendent of
the Williams and Clark plant, and
Rick, an employe OF that factory oc-
cupied the witness stand during the
greater portion of the morning ses-
sion.
100 Strikers Return.
Having been promised wages of
twenty cents per hour, one hundred
workmen of the Armour Fertilizer
Works, at Roosevelt, went back to
work this morning after having
maintained a strike for three weeks
following reduction In their salary.
Fearing that the Armour officials in
tended to take on all new men and
refuse to take back their former
laborers who went out on the strike

Petrograd, Feb. 1:-Strongly re-
inforced the Germans in east Prus-
sia are concentrating their efforts to
halt the march on Konigsberg by
smashing up a Russian center west
of Kallen region, but official dis
patches today claimed further slight
gains for the czar's ninth army.

West of Warsaw the Russian ffrces
have recaptured trenches occupied by
Germans in an infantry charge Fri
day night. Of1cia1 dispatches today
claimed that four regiments partfci-

Can't Starve England Out.

London, Feb. lyon Tirpitz
can't starve England out, and he
knows it. His submarine raids are
comparable to the efforts of squad
of sharpshooters against whole
army. His main purpose is to
frighten England, and he will never
succeed.
This was the statement of a high
admiralty official. He would not per-
NIT his name to be used. Saturday
and Sunday are features of the new
policy of warfare first publicly sug-
gested by Grand Admiral Won Tirpitz,
of the German navy, in his interview
with Karl H. Won Wiegand, of the
United Press. The admiralty antici-
pates further raids and the loss OF
more British merchantmen.
Patrol Coast of Irish Sea.
Flotillas of destroyers and light
cruisers were patrolling the Irish sea
off Liverpool hoping to catch sight #
the German submarines that chased
the Leicester off the entrance to Dub
lin bay yesterday. 1t is generally &C
cepted here that the U-21 was accom-
panied by at least one other of the
latest and most powerful design of
German submarines when she sent
the Kilcoan, Ben Cruachen and Lin

his dormancy for the Roosevelt
murders and all other blood shed
in clashes in industrial strife. THE
indifference of people caused these
she said. You are lot
of dirtybacked weaklings. You have
not enough backbone to wipe your

the evil lay in the election of the

said that Colorado had the finest
laws of any state in the country, but
that they were not enforced.
She vehemently criticized state
constabularies and declared that
they would be formed from the gun

severely arraigned women and
urged them to forsake their temper

not reach In the basement of the
Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Com
panys store at 90 Smith street, Big
volumes of black smoke issuing from
the burning stock in the cellar and
pouring through the store made 1t
impossible for the firemen to get
close to the blaze with their streams,
until after they had nearly filled the
basement with water and partially
drowned the flames. The fire de-
stroyed the big stock in the basement
and ate away the underside of the
stores floor, which caved in three
hours after the blaze was discovered
by Patrolman Murray shortly before
l o'clock and alarm given from box
81, at State and Smith streets. The
whole store was wrecked when the
floor caved in, and this morning pre-
sents an appearance as of ruins left
by an earthquake.
Stock Almost Total Loss.
Ellsworth B. Walker, local mana
ger of the company, declared this
morning that the stock was almost a
total loss. He said the store carried
between $4,000 and $4,000 in gro
ceries, canned goods, cereals, etc. The
building damaged about $1,000, Is
owned by Mrs. Jennie E. Shipman, of
Elizabeth, and insured. Mr.. Walker
said that he was not sure that the
A. and P stock was insured.
To Have Probe of Fire.
A rumor was prevalent this morn
ing that the store had been robbed
and set afire, but this was discredited
by Mr.. Walker. Chief of Police
Burke, however, will have the fire
investigated. Though Mr.. Walker
could not tell how the flames origi-
mated, and all evidence of the origin
that might exist is buried under the
debris, number Of firemen seemed
to think that the blaze originated
from the furnace around which the
| fire seemed to he the hottest. Mr..

In condensed form, the new plan claims

that:
It takes children off the streets and keeps them
wholesomely busy at work, study and play for
six hours day.
It gives all children just as much academic
work as the traditional school, but by lengthen-
ing the school day it gives time for practical
shop work, science, drawing, music, auditorium
and play for all children.
What the Gary Plan Means.
To every parent-a chance to give his child
the enriched educational opportunities usually
reserved for the children of the favored few.
To teachers-no more hours of teaching; more
congenial work
To the munty-better citizens; better
schools for less cost
And what is left for the parent in the
way Of responsibility? Would the children
be much more than puppies in training for
the circus ring? Where is the bond of af-
lection that we all thought existed as
matter-of-course, when every minute Of the
child's daylight hours are given to learning
these divers and various things, at the hand
of hired teachers?
And what right has the State to take any
part in religious training, of any sect or
branch?
Wasn't this country founded on a specific
separation of Church and State? And how
long would it take the stronger religious sect
to dominate the Gary plan or any other plan
that could SO easily be made the pawn of
politics and politicians?
Have we gone mad, in our effort to get
away from the simplest responsibilities, that
we will welcome anything. in the nature Of
a change that will take from us the care
and training of those whom we, as parents,
should devote our lives to!
And as was to be expected, the Gary plan
IS receiving most hearty and fulsome
dorsement from the Northern Sufrag ettes
who welcome any and all occasions to make
almost a mockery of womanhood.
viii the South stand for the Gary plan?
It is worthy of note that Georgia thinks so
highly Of her chickens, she has passed law
forbidding anyone to carry them with heads
hanging down." and once the Colored Broth
err has been notified Of this law, it will make
him more careful as to how he will carry off
the inhabitants of various hen-houses.
Before throwing any fits over the prospect
of getting new settlers for the State of Geor-
gia, as The Savannah News is on the verge
of doing, it will be we'll to have it generally
known just where those proposed settlers are
coming from and to make sure they will be
an asset, and not liability.
Powder mills continue to blow up mys-
teriously; cotton exports and sugar export
cargoes on board outgoing American vessels,
continue to get afre at their piers, and yet
our "watchful waiting" produces no results.
Amt we enough to make the cat laugh?
1t so seldom happens, the New York pa
pers are constrained to make headline note
of the fact that broadway crowds were
jolly but orderly" Hat smashing and win
dow-breaking usually follow the wake of the
Broadway crowd.

Changing the Old Order.


astounding features than that of any of the
centuries that have passed, and If the Ian
guage of today then exists. more than one
reader OF it will marvel at the idiotic meas
ures we have countenanced: the changes that
were made, for the sake Of change, and not,
SO far as one could see, for Improvement.
Latterly the trend Of corporations is to
extend toward the individual, a paternalism
that will relieved y the individual almost of
the need for thinking; certainly of the need
for action along great many lines that only
the individual should decide.
In the bio Northern and Eastern cities,
family life is almost done away with, for
those of even moderate means; the seeker for
a dwelling tone couldn't call it a honey
finds almost furnished apartments with a
cut and dried rule for the placing of nearly
every article Of household use The Ice boxes,
the slde-boards the wash-tubs, and many
other family goods are "bullt-in," and have
been used by the preceding occupant, as they
VIII be by the succeeding one. Near-kitchens
are all ready for the preparation of the near
food, which comes mostly from tin cans. Or,
if the fortunes of the family will permit,
near-hotel life may be enjoyed, with meals
in the common dining room.
Almost from the cradle to the grave. the
will "ooz after the family, or the indi-
vidual, the price, Of course, varying with
the demands on the corporations stocl1-in-
trade.
One has only to note this trend in the
larger cities to realize that there is an abso-
lutte certainty of family life dying out; any
thing that will strengthen this tendency, and
will make a man more of a sojourner than
he IS now Is to be deDlOred.
Just how much this adopted mode of living
has had to do with the women going mad
over the question Of the ballot. or whether it
is the other way round, and the women them
selves are accountable for the change, is
question open for argument, but 1t IS here;
it was not to be supposed that the offspring
of these homeless ones would be left out of
the calculations. and we are having a pro-
posed new system of schooling agitated,
which, if adopted, will do more toward abol-
ishing the home, in its true relationship to
the individual member in it, than any other
measure ever promted by the crazy theorists
who now seem to bloom on every street
corner.
The Gary SYSTEM is referred to. Under
it. the public school system would be so
altered, elaborated and enlarged that it
would practically take every child from the
absolute jurisdiction of its parents, and make
it the wasul and the pupil of the State;
under the Gary System there would be
sort of hodge podge method of education
which would give the collegiate flavor, with
religious training thrown III, to every child
in the State which adopted it.
The hours for schooling would practically
take the hours of daylight; individual teach
ers would not have any increase in their
duties, but the corps of teachers would be
enlarged, and would embrace teachers of
spirituality" which we call religious instruc-
