Saloon

Newark. y. j., July l5.-Jesse How
ard, a negro, is under arrest here as
the principal in a double murder re-
sulting, il is said, from racial antip-
athy. The police say they expect SIM
liar occurrences to multiply as a re-
suit of the equal rights bill which the
Legislature passed last winter.
Ernest Hauser and Daniel Foessel,
whites, were killed and Fritz Herse
wounded in a fight in Herse's saloon,
PSI Springfield Avenue. shortly before
midnight last night. On entering the
saloon Howard is said 20 have invited
Fred Kubach. who is wireless oper-

drink. The white man refused and
there was a fight.
When peace had been enforced the
negro seated himself, it is said, near
table where Hauser and Foessel
were playing cards. They objected TO
his proximity. but Howard refused to
bulge. Herse, il is alleged. then re-
fused to serve a drink 10 the negro.
At that Howard is said 10 have
moved toward the door, drawing a re-
volver and beginning 10 shoot as he
reached that avenue to fight. He was
caught block away, and was roughly

$4,000 Irish at War,
Says Lady Aberdeen
Ireland Did Better than Can
ada in Proportion to Popu-
Iation, She Declares

In spite of the revolution, Ireland
has done better for the Allies in the
war than Canada has, in proportion to
the numbers of the population. This
statement was made by Lady Aberdeen
Yesterday at a meeting at the Young
Mems Christian Association, at 3lS
West Fifty-seventh Street, in which she
made plea for American help in So
cial welfare, particularly antl-tubercu,,
losis work, in Ireland. One hundred
and forty thousand men enlisted from
Ireland and 10000 men of Irish birth
enlisted in England, Lady Aberdeen
said. making q total of 10000 recruits
out of a population of 100000.
Lady Aberdeen asked for the prayers
of all friends of Ireland in the United
States to guide her countrymen through
the davs of the coming convention.
Once the difficult political problems OF
Ireland are settled, she said, social con-
ditions will be relieved.
Through the work of the Women's
National Health Association of Ireland,
of which Lady Aberdeen is president,
suffering among the poor has been
greatly alleviated. The death rate OF
babies in Dublin was lowered onefifth
in the years before the war, but last
wear it rose again, Lady Aberdeen said,
and nearly half the babies died.
Lord Aberdeen, who was Niceroy OF
ireland for nearly ten years, gave a
brief talk on famous clergymen he has

Unions Plan to Fight
State Central Bodies to Con-
fer on Full Crew Law

All central labor unions in the state
were yesterday summoned to confer.
ence to prevent the notification OF
labor legislation at the special session
of the Legislature to open July 81. Not
only the unions affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor, but the
railroad brotherhoods as well are or
ganizing to protect the full crew law,
which labor leaders say will be attacked
by the financial interests.
"The strong tactical position that we
should occupy" said James P. Boyle,
president of the Brooklyn Central La
Dor Union, "is not to ask for any sus-
pension of the labor law. The position
for labor is that, no matter what the
circumstances existing with any other
country may be, there must be no
breakdown, no limiting of the labor
laws The experience of England and
France shows this is the sane course
to pursue for any nation that wishes q
maximum amount of output"
