LONDON, May 2S-Parliament re

Although the business formerly set
for discussion was not exciting mem

The Irish nationalist members have

In their absence certain Liberal mem

evidence of the plot will be divulged.

WORK.

You may be surprised to know that
SO desperate is the need for know

parts of our own country a newborn
baby has less chance for life than it's
father fighting in France.
That is why the Child Welfare AS
ISOLATION is devoting all it's resources
to the great task of arousing America
to the significance of the needs of
children during the war.
The time is ripe now. Peoples minds
are open absent fathers make tender
hearts; and the Children's Year cam
paign offers the opportunity for driv-
ing home the lessons the war has
taught England and France and is al
ready teaching America, of the vital
need for conserving childhood when
we are making such heavy sacrifice of
our manhood and womanhood.
This is the greatest opportunity
ever given the women of America to
teach parents what they must do and
each community what it must do, to
give the nations children healthy
bodies, strong minds and strudy
characters.
1t is prominently the time to show
the nation great vision of new gen.
GRAFTON we'll born and we'll trained
generation equal to the task of re-
constructing the world after the war.

ming to help with this work in Cor

make this week a success are an eX-

SERIOUS CHARGE
IS AGAINST
GROCER :
JIMED BRIDGES HELD FOR STAT
UTORY oFFENSE AFTER PRE-
LIMINARY TRIAL

A preliminary trial yesterday after
noon before Justice Malone placed
Jim Ed Bridges, young Eight street
grocer, behind the bars with a charge
against him involving statutory cap
ital offense and at the same time re-
vealed developments in the colored
quarter of the city Sunday afternoon
that were indeed revolving. But for
the counselling of some of the cooler
heads among the negroes there might
have been bloodshed and this time
the case involved the reverse situa-
ton to that which has prompted the
lvnchings of late in this state.
Under the Influence of liquor Bridg
es is charged with having gone to the
colored section Sunday afternoon
where at the point of a gun he drove
a colored girls male companion away
and then took her into house where
the occupants, reputed as the family
of a respected, hard working negro,
were driven out.
CHI nj
of shooting against any one entering,
Bridges is said to have dared the ne
groes gathering about the home to Of
fer violence. After Chief of Police,
Lee Sheppard had been called, the
house was forced open, when Bridges
made hasty retreat out the back
way and attempted to escape. He was
arrested and relieved of his revolver
and later locked up.
! Among the negroes who gathered
about the home that Bridges claimed
! by force were some of the best color
ed people and these kept the crowd
, from breaking into the house and do
ing violence, according to the infOrma-
| ton coming out at the trial yesterday
afternoon. There were guns and PTS
tolls and plenty of them. There were
also cooler heads that kept almost per
/ feet negro behavior until an officer
! could be had.
| Those who held the crowd and kept
order said they did SO with the full
hope of keeping members of their
own race from being lynched for doing
| Bridges violence and with the addition
all belief that justice would be done in
the courts.

PHILADELPHIA, May 2S.-The pro

This means an increase of $4,000

1t is doubtful, he said, if the anthracite
