THH CHuDREM's ORPHAN
FUND.

The subscription fund we are
undertaking to raise to be applied
to. the care of an orphan child in
France is not meeting with the
ready response we had hoped,
when we decided to make an ap.
peal to our subscribers. We feel
satisfied it is due primarily to
neglect and lack of opportunity
to reach our Office with the small
amount asked of our readers,
rather than uncharitableness on
the part of our people. If every
subscriber of The Enterprise were
to send in the small amount of
ten cents we would soon have the
sum of $4,000 which would care
for six Of these unfortunate little
tots one whole year. We again
appeal to our readers who apprec-
late the efforts we are making to-
wards the care Of these children
,to4send in dime as early as pos
sible, so we can at least afford re-
lief to one orphan. So far, we
have the sum of $14.O0, leaving

ALBANY. Aug. 14-After a confer

out a statement in which he highly COM
mended the formers Americanism.
Stories had been sent out OF Syracuse
intimating that an effort was to be
made by the Governor to get Schoeneck
to withdraw from the race because of
his connection with the Tolishus al
legged disloyalty case
''Lieutenant Governor Schoeneck," !"
said Governor Whitman. "has been an
able and conscientious public officer,
serving the city of Syracuse as Mayor
and the state as Lieutenant Governor
faithfully and well. He is high mind
ed, patriotic American. He is the son
CT Union soldier, and no one who
knows him can for a moment question
his patri otism or his Americanism.
II mean no'rehection upon any other
candidate. At the primaries it is en-
tirely proper for other aspirants to
seek this nomination, but am conf

Mr. Schoeneck should be denied the

married to the defendant in 1914 in
New Jersey and that she is now twen-
ty-six years old. MIR Atteridge did not
testify. Mrs. Atteridge will now ask
the court to confirm The report Of
Referee Sinnott, which recommends a

The Tribune Fresh Air Fund

It's an i'll wind that blows nobody
good; and sometimes even a torn up
street is blessing camoufaged.
That's the way it worked for a
crowd of boys on Canal Street on that
hottest of all nights last week Recent
~ the city fathers have undertaken the
repaving of that street in thorough
manner, ripping the old pavement out
right down to the soil
Last week on that terrible night when
the whole city gasped for breath, along
the north side of the street, as a result
OF the preparations for repaving, there
extended for block or so a dirt bot
toned trench from one to two feet in
depth and reaching from car tracks to
curb. Alongside the trench at its low
est point stood a fire hydrant.
Whether the boys first saw the posi-
bilities or whether the friendly police
man on the beat did makes no differ
ence. A wrench was procured from
somewhere, the policeman turned on
the water and for hours that night a
hundred or more boys splashed to their
hearts content in the improvised pool.
After the first moment or so the
water was the color of mud. and. as
time wore on, it approximated mud in
consistency. 1t didn't make the boys
look pretty, nor did it make them
clean. but it was cooler than sitting on
the curb wishing for breeze, and
the boys were happy.
On the same night as thousands of
motorists returned from Coney Island
by way of Fourth Avenue, Brooklyn,
they saw boys and girls, and even
grown ups, from the nearby tenements
resorting to another expedient for re
lief from the heat. The roadway of
Fourth Avenue is divided down its cen
tire by elevated isles of safety, into
which are set the gratings which pro-
vide ventilation for the subway.
On the night in question these graf
ures of children-with here and there
grown-up. What were they doing?
Lying there to catch the rush of air
forced out of the tube every time a
train went through.
Said a doctor who saw them. That's
the best pneumonia generator I've seen
in a long time"
Pltlful attempts on the part of little
tenement dwellers to alleviate their
suHerlNSs. Wlthout help, they could
do no better. But there were nearly
1000 of their fellows, their neighbors,
to whom help came and who Jared bet
ter.
They were the guests of The Tribune
Fresh Air Fund, in the country. Dur
ing the afternoon Of that day practical
ly any one of the 1000 who wanted
to plunged into real swimming pool.
And when the sun set and night set
tied down they stretched themselves
out, not on subway gratings to be
tubes, but in rooms into which stole
the fresh sweetness of woods and
streams and hills and fields
The 1000 were lucky. The contrast
is great. But that is not the sole
point of the comparison. The important

Labor Plans to Curb
Bolsheviki in u. S.

Samuel Gompers, who heads the
American Labor Commission appointed
to represent this country at the Brit
ish trades union congress in England
in September. presided at conference
of prominent labor leaders held yester-
day at the headquarters Of the National
Civic Federation, l Madison Avenue.
The main purpose Of the conference, 1T
was stated, was to get American opln-
;on on the best means Of counteractlng
the Bolshevik movement IN the United
States and Allied countries.
The speakers included Herman Bern
stein. who discussed wnat the Bolshe
wiki have done to Russia and the Allies
and what they have done for Germany
and Mr.. Kahn, who spoke of the senti-
ment of labor in France.
Following the conference, resolu-
tions, which had been adopted unani-
mously, were made public. After ap-
pealing for moral and material sup
port for the people of Russia, the labor
leaders declared it to be the first duty
of the people of this country to con-
centrate every effort on the winning Of
the war.
The possibility of labor trouble at
present Or in the future was covered in
the following resolution:
"Resolved, That we commend to en-
ployers and employees of our country
the wise and far-sighted policy of cur
government in the adjustment Of the
industrial relations expressed and
manifested through the National War

cious AMI loyal institution to allay IN

Socialists Urged
To Curb Tongue or
Risk Being Jailed

Advocating discretion as the better
part of valor, Socialist Assemblyman
August Claessens, speaking at a So
cialistic rally held last night at the
Star Casino, Park Avenue and One
Hundred and Seventh Street, advised
that members of the party refrain
from talking too much, particularly
during the forthcoming political cam
palgn. Mr.. Claessens predicted that
even though they did so hundreds prob
ably would be sent to jail
Referring to the fact that the ma
tional executive committee of the So
cialist party had failed during its re-
cent conference at Chicago to change
the ST Louis platform, which outlined
the Socialists stand on the war, the
speaker put the blame squarely up to
the government. To change the plat
form, he said, it would be necessary
for the Socialist party to hold another
convention and that, he declared, the
government would not permit it to do
Besides Asscmblyman Claessens, AL
dernan Algernon Lee and Mrs. Rose
Pastor Stokes were announced as
speakers.
When Mrs: Stokes, late, appeared on
the platform, men and women jumped
to their feet, cheering, waving their
hands and applaudlng. 1t was some
minutes before Claessens could con-
tinue with his speech.
