forcement Of the labor laws, under
great difficulties. in view Of miscon-

abandonment of the star chamber

a large sum Tor the City Of New YORK,
causing double tracking on Staten lsl-
and where necessary, causing increased
electric plant on Staten Island; fought

BIRTHDAY CLEW
TOL0ST BOY FAILS
Mother Of Jimmy Glass Spends
Anniversary in Search That
Ends in DiSaDpOintment.

The birthday Of five-year-old son
is a delightful occasion 10 any moth
or. But no woman in the world would
have envied the mother Of lost Jimmy
Glass # she could have been with her
yesterday on Jimmy's birthday, during
her last desperate investigation Of !
false clew that reached her in an
anonymous note at her home in Jersey
City.
II proved TO be just another Of the
many disappointments that have come
20 young Mr. and Mrs. Charles Glass
during the eight months that their boy
has been lost, but it was made all the
more bitter because this time they
sought for him only o few miles from
their own home The letter said that
a. boy with light hair and about
Jimmy's age was living with an Italian
family al 25l South Orange VENUE,
Newark.
SICK with the anguish Of so many
wrecked hopes, Jimmy's mother telt
that this time she was going TO hnd
her boy. It was his birthday, and
that alone was enough TO bring hope
20 her again. No one can express the
apprehension that the mother felt dur
ing her trip TO Newark yesterday or
the agony that clutched her heart
when She turned YEARLY away from
the yellow-haired boy playing with his
brother and sister in the street To
make the certainty complete the police
proved that the boy was Adolpho
Farache
Mr.. and Mrs. Glass went home again,
and for the first time Jimmy's mother
was almost willing to give up the hope
of ever seeing him again. She has
searched for him all over the country
patiently following the faintest clews.
Jimmv's pictures, as he looked when
he mysteriously disappeared from
Greeley, Penn. in broad daylight eight
months ago. have been flashed on the
screen of almost every motion picture
house in the country. so that hundreds
of people have written the anguished
parents I'm the certainty that they nave
seen the boy. Yesterdays disappolnt-
mcnt was like a score Of others that
the mother has suffered. except that 1t
,roe her Jimmy's fifth birthday.
