New York, May II. - Although
Thomas \. Edison was i'll in his home
in New Jersey last night with cold
which he caught on fishing trip last
week, he worked until late on a great
pile of Qucstionnairps which prospective
employees Of the Edison plant have at
tempted to answer during the last few
days and in assembling material for
another list Of questions for applicants.
'Thc value Of the list | hnd," Mr..
Edison said, has been destroyed, so
far aS | am concerned. because of the
publicity it has received and because
the newspapers printed the answers
But no one will print this new list, be-
cause ! am going to copyright it. Any
paper that prints it as an Edison Ques-
tiOnnair" will have to go to law
about it.
"MoSt Of the men who have answered
my questions are college men," he
said, and they make the best type of
employees. But some of them are terribly
dumb.

AFTER "SOFT SNAPS"
Council Passes Bill Seeking LIaht
on Jobs

City Council yesterday passed the
resolution which calls on Director Cor
telyou to furnish Council with the
names Of all patrolmon and fircmen
performing other than their regular
duties.
That action was the result of the
political attack which the Varieties in
Council under the leadership of Coun-
Gilman Hall made on the Mayor earlier
In the week when the Public Safety
salary incrensc requests were under CON
sidcration. Mr.. Hall charged that 400
patrolmen were detailed to duties In
various departments who ought to be
doing patrolmen S duties. lie described
the jobs as soft snaps"
Subsequently Director Cortelyou de-
MED the Hall charges and. while CON
ceding that upward of 200 men were
not in uiform, insisted that many of
them were performing police business
in civilian clothes and that it was nee
cssory to detail others to clerical posi-
tions because Council had not given
the department a sufficient force of
clerks.
The resolution passed yesterday was
introduced by Councilman Gaffney, an
other Ware leader The Department of
Public Safety is now scheduling the in
formation. and it Is understood 1t will
report to Council ut a special meeting
called for next Tuesday.

Mother Tells Story
"A short time ago" she said. II
gave my son some money to go to New

treatment from an oculist. His left
eye was destroyed by an explosion somn
years ago. While he was in New York
he told me he met Fox, the man who
was killed. and the latter induced him
to go to Philadelphia. He was not
aware Of the mans character. When
Fox tried to hold up the man who had
driven them in n taxicab my son was
as greatly surprised ms the driver. He
has always been good boy. He was
never arrested and had high ambitions.
It's nm unfortunate occurrence, but !
feel sure that after investigation has
been made he will be released"
District Attorney Taylor will confer
