RELIEF PLANNED HERE
FOR VIENNA CHILDREN
Funds Solicited to Saue Suf-
ferers From tuberculosis.

Unless immediate and permanent
measures are taken to save the child
population OF Vienna the city will be
practically blotted out of existence in
fifteen years, according to an announce
ment by the Vienna Children's Milk
Relief of $50 Nassau street
The Relief, of which Mrs. Fritz Kreis-
Ter is chairman, has opened the Ameri-
can Preventorium for Tubercular Chill
dren in n suburb of the stricken city
in an effort to save some Of the boys
and girls.
About 90 per cent of the children
in Vienna are victims of tuberculosis
either in the incipient or the fatal
stage-and Just because it is impossible
to save all these little ones it is all
the more important that measures be
taken to segregate the diseased from
the sound and give the latter a fight
ing chance for life,v the appeal states.
BY taking several hundred at time,
il is believed that several thousand
children may be saved each year. The
Relief is short of funds for the work,
but is going ahead in the belief that
people here will back them in their
efforts

Ter of Newark, until to-day. when ~
will pay a fine of 500.
The jury that heard the trial of SegaS
was. the second jury of women to sit ia
Judge Dugan's court within the last two
months. but there was more interest re-
yesterdays case than in that of Oc-.
tober Is, when the women decided a civil
action. Mrs. Thomas A. Eddison was
to have been foreman of the jury which
tried Segall, but she telephonsa to Judge
Dugan shortly before O'clock, that her
husband was i'll with cold. She was
excused so she might remain at home
and care for him.
Mrs. Colby was made foreman in her
place. The other members of the jury,

The court room was crowded with
spectators when the trial of the case
began about 10 o'clock and the usual
battalion of moving picture photogra-
piers was on hand. The picture makers
photographed the jury. the Judge. the
lawyers and the court attendants. Judge
Dugan and the members of the jury
good naturally permitted the photog-
raphers to swarm about the court room.
Several witnesses testified they had
gone to the dental offices of Jack Sc
CALLS brother and that their teeth had
been pulled by Segall in the absence of
his brother. Among the witnesses was
Mrs. Susannah Rahnor of Newark, who
testified that Segall pulled several of
her teeth. She identified Segall as the
man who had used the foreeps on her.
Segall, in defence, denied having seen
any of the witnesses before and he de-
MED that he had ever pulled any teeth
for any one. On the specific days in
question. he commended, he was not in
his brothers office but was driving
produce wagon in Newark.
