Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
HER EMPLOYERS SUGGESTION
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

HER EMPLOYERS SUGGESTION
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
have been going out lately to sew
eral dinners and to the theater with
a girl friend and my employer, who
is a married man. 1 also had him to
dinner at my house, as his wife and
family are away. Now he is very
anxious that l go on trip with him
to meet his wife. Would this be all
right, provided I had a chaperon?
He tells me his wife would not mind
ii, as she would understand l would
love to go. as 1 enjoy his company so
much and 1 know the feeling is mu-
tual. -o,r
As YOU do not appear to be friend
OF your employers wife. this pro1ect
OF taking a trip TO meet her is an
utterly impossible one, and l peg you
not to consider it for moment. More
over, I urge you to be particularly
careful about accepting any invita-
tions whatever from an employer cap
able of suggesting this eXpealtlon. l
feel that all young girls whose EN-
ployers show a wish to have social
relations with them outside the office
are placed in a very difficult posltlon
and that they need TO summon all
possible wisdom and discretion.
sHoIrID SHE FORGIVE HIMs
.tSS FAIRFAX:
have been going about with
Young man for three years. news
came to me one day that he was seen
with a young woman in the theater.
When I repeated this he denied II.
Young woman herself. and she did not
deny 1t.
When I found he had lied to me
dropped him. His friends tell me that
he wishes to apologize. But there is
another young man who wishes 10
keep company with me. Should l
marry the first man or not?
A. S.
After three years you ought to
know q young man we'll enough TO
decide whether you can forgive him
for one offense. AS for marrying him,
that depends on whether you are in
love with each other. and your letter
does not sound as though you were.
tempted the young man to tell you a
lie by being too eXacting with him.

Law, Dies in City Hos
pitaI Here

John Mondics, of Smith street,
Keasbey. died at the City hospital
this morning from the effects of a
shot in the neck inflicted, IL is
charged, by his son-in-law, Mike Cir
bus, of Youngstown, Ohio, who is be-
ing held at therounty Jail now under
indictment charged with murder OF
Mrs. Mondics ,on March ). Mondics
and his wife were shot, il is claimed
by Cirbus, when she refused to give
her son-in law any food when he re-
turned from a carousal in a nearby
saloon. She died on March 8, at the
hospital.

and when IL was learned that Mrs.

fession from Cirbus, who was later

JOS. RUDOLPHA
IS MURDERED
Body of Local Man, Who Has
Long Criminal Record, Found
in Doorway

Joseph Rudolpha, alias John La
Franko, formerly of this city, was
found murdered in a hallway on East
Eleventh street, New York, early
Wednesday morning by a milkman
who stumbled over the body while
covering his route.
Three bullet wounds were found in
the body and also powder burns in
dicating that shots had been fired at
close range. 1t is still mystery with
the New York detectives as to how
the man was killed as no clues have
been discovered. There Is also no
apparent motive for the crime. but
the police think that he was shot by
q member of a rival gang since he
was the leader of a bad" gang oper-
ating in New York.
Rudolpha has a long criminal rec
ord. He was arrested In Jersey City
by local authorities for stealing four
horses. two wagons and several sets
of harnesses. With him was an ac-
complice named Ferraro. Both men
were tried before Judge DAILY, Ferraro
receiving three and "a half and Ru-
dolpha two and q half years in state
prison. Ferraro later murdered his
cell mate. consequently his sentence
was changed to a life term. Rudol-
pha was released at the end OF his
sentence and then began blackmail
work, getting records for such in
Erie, Pa, and Buffalo, N. Y. The last
known of him before his merder was
that he was the leader of a gang of
thieves who have been causing the
New York authorities considerable
trouble.

Low water pressure is hampering
the fire department of the city in

destroyed a two story and two fam

is threatening the two family struc-

The fire alarm sounded at 2:l5
o'clock from box 81 at Amboy and

and seeing that the fire was almost
too much for the men on the Job,

No Change in Situation.

There is no change in the trolley
strike situation as far as this city is
concerned. Few cars are running,
and no disorder has resulted from the
walkout so far. The customary fran
chise protecting cars are being operat-
ed, but none of the union motormen
or conductors have returned to work
10 operate them.
The entire strike, which Is being en-
gineered from Newark, where the
union headquarters are established,
will be decided there and the local
union men are determined to stand
pat and back up any action the men
at the head of the organization may
take.
The Public Service Is advertising to-
day that they will take men on, not
as strike breakers but as permanent
employees, paying them five dollar
day bonus during the emergency ani
the salary paid the men when they
quit the lines. This will amount to
about nine dollars a day.
They have advertised that appli-
cation for these positions may be
made at the local carbarns as well as
at the other barns of the company
throughout the northern section OF
the state.

PARIS. March 13-On President
Wilson's arrival from Brest tomorrow
a series OF conferences will begin.
which will last over the week end
These have been arranged by Col. E.
M. House In consultation with
miers Clemenceau, Lloyd George and
Orlando.
The conference to be held on Sum
day will probably deal with the dell
cate issue between italy and the Jugo
Slavs over the eastern coast Of the
Adriatic.
Another important question await
ing Mr.. Wilson's attention is the
length of time to be given Germany
to pay her huge war debt to the al
lies This is tentatively fixed at
a billion dollars annually during that
period. It is believed, however, that
payments may not be made in money
hut largely in comm odities of labor.
The thirty year period OF the pay
mr. 1t of Germanys debts also involved
a corresponding period for German
disarmament and allied supervision.
French opinion inclines towards giV-
ing the League of Nations supervisory
authority during this period. but this
view Is not shared in American quar-
ters, where 1t is pointed out that II
would have the effect of making the
! league of nations an international col
lection agency and would indirectly
amount to the leagues underwriting
Germany's war debts.
