ing wages and hours, and who agreed
to postpone formal modification until
Samuel Untermycr, Of counsel for the
union, could appear to-day, was en-
gagged in court yesterday.
Mr.. 'Untern1yer and Morris Hillouit
the unions attorney, who appeared,
said that they had submitted their in
depreciation Of the injunction to Jus
tice Guy, although they regarded the
language as plain enough to need no
Interpretation. They argued that the
only object was to cnjoin the manu-
facturcrs' association from violating it's
contract and from conspiring to en-
force piecework and a 49-hour week.
President Schlesinger of the union
received telegram yesterday morning
from II. Schoolman, president of the
Chicago locals, saying that 5000 cloak
makers had walked out at 10 o'clock. AS
in New York, the workers marched d
quietly to various strike headquarters

outside Of New York to 10000, as 5000
are out in Philadelphia. In New York
10000 have returned to work, leaving
The total on strike in the threeo cities
at about $4,000.

dam, Holland, wishing success to the
strike.

Chicago closkmakers walked out to-day
When the new piecework system was
begun. The manufacturers said that
their shops would remain closed for
the present.

finance six months strike. The same
demands were made by the manufac.
turers as in New York, he said, re.

Slashed to Death
Child's Dismembered Body

Whose Wounds Are Held
Too Savage for Suicide
Special Dispatch 10 The Tribune


CHICAGO, Dec. Margaret Cough.
lin, three years old, daughter Of po-
liccman, went across the street yester.
day to play with Joseph pensis, a boy
little older than she.
To-day the girls torso was found in
Z wash boiler over, redhot stove in
the basement Of the Pensis home. Up
stairs Mrs. Pensis was lying on the
floor, her throat slashed so deeply with
bread knife as to almost sever the
head. Her body was still warm when
found by the police, who broke into the
house and put out the fire in the base
ment. The blaze from the stove was
threatening to destroy the house.
The police found the head and both
arms Of the baby girl in the bed in
One leg was found among some refuse
in the basement and the other outside
the dwelling.
The police believe that Mrs. Pensis
killed the child last night and commit.
ted suicide to-day after her husband, a
machinist, had gone to work. However
they are holding Pensis for further ex-
animation in connection with the crime
In support Of the suicide theory, the
police point out that all doors and win.
dows Of the house were locked on the
inside when they broke into the house
Policeman Coughlin, father Of the muir
dered child, believes it was a case OF
suicide. He said that Mrs. Penss had
always shown an insane love for the
child, had taken her to the Pensis home
almost every day and had seemed very
jealous Of the girls mother.
In support, OF the murder theory the
police suggest that the slashing of the
woman's neck was more savagely done
judging from the depth of the cut, than
is usually the case in suicide. Blood.
stained saws and hatchet were found
in the. basement Of the house. Mrs
pensis.s two daughters question the
suicide theory. They say their mother
was very fond Of the Coughlin girl.
In their inquiry into the mystery the
police are investigating the causes oi

aside from the general fanfare of praise,
however, there appeared in the columns of the

Letters from Some of Our Friends were printed,

other from Charles f. Hughes. The latter calls

decent newspaper and exponent of wholesome
public opinion to have richly merted the con-

at may be said safely that on national ques-
tions Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. Glass are very far
apart. The Armistce Day letter of the latter
garbed no phrases in its denunciation of the men
who prevented Americas entrance into the league
Mr.. Hughes, of course, has placed himself on the
other side, whatever his ideas were before the
last election. That these two men should unite
publicly in the praise of a newspaper is high
tribute to the Post, for it is recognition of in
dependent and scrupulous journalism which de-
mands respect from its readers even when its
principles are opposed to theirs
at may be said that the Post is not unique in
its decent fair and level-headed journalism. More

out bias in their columns and reason without

be disputed, but their method must be honored

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
One might have surmised from
the spirit of your editorial page
that sometime your paper would
make just such a move as it has
done for the public schools of our
city; but it gave me a thrill,
nevertheless when the notice ap-
peared on the front page of the
Tuesday issue. Thank you.
Enclosed is a copy of our last
Bulletin, which has had a most en-
thusiastic reception by our men,
bers. The parent awakening. all
over the world, to the value of
childhood. is significant.
Not only are parents organizing
for childhood, but the various asso-
Citations are cooperating. The In
stitute for Public Service of New
York City is doing a great work
in bringing, to one accessible ex-
hibit, work of common aim among
both parents and teachers.
We hope that your paper will
support the platoon system" as
Detroit calls it or the work, study,
play plan" as the Federal Bureau
of Education terms it. We prefer
the latter as it is so descriptive
to those who look askance at any
change in our public schools (the

Through your Argus, let's pounce

bers, apprehend them and bring
them to destruction or justice.
We will first consider protection
against railway and depot rob-
berries. There should be placed on

situated on top of the car, prefer
ably mail or express, with sufficient
room for the head and shoulders

tue of their elevated position, could
sight the robbers at any point or
position, For rare occasions and
very dark nights, a small search
light is advisable.
With such advantages of protec-
tion and position, two men could
stand off a small army of robbers
The device is simple, economical
and practical and in no way would
incumber the cars.
For depots. there should be situ!
ated q similar arrangement on the
roof or. in a tower. Any miscon-
duct. whether by professional rob-
bers or box car robbers could be

ated in an elevated position. There
should be bookkeeping carried on
until some emergency arises, then
day down the books and seize the
guns.
For postoffices, and all public
buildings where shoplifting. loaf

carried on, there should be. situated
in an elevated position, a watch
man with eagle eye and field
glasses, who could not be seen by
the employees or public. Such a
watchman should detect the moves
of all whether employe or public.
One would have little temptation
to trespass or steal when he knew
there was an eye, seeing all, pierc-
ing down on them. This would in
no way embarrass or molest a law

Citizens and Car Service.

/" the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Kindly allow me to convey to r.
r. F., from the citizens of Brook
land, vote of sincere appreciation
for his article in the Open Forum
on November "a.
1t expressed very explicitly the
facts in regard to the unfair, un-
healthful and impracticable trans
portation service afforded US by an
unbusinesslike corporation.
In direct contrast to their stti-
tude up to the present, will take
the liberty OF citing to you an in
cident that occurred a few months
ago.
At the request of the Brookland
Citizens Association. I was asked
tn interview Mr.. W. Elkins Reed, OF
the Washington Rapid Transit
company, relative to obtaining in
formation concerning their atti-
tude about the extension of one OF
of their routes into Brookland.
l must say that after a personal
investigation by Mr.. Reed. he told
me that the only reason WHY the
Public Utilities Commission would
not allow him to come out here was
the fact that the people of Brook
land are asleep at the switch and
were not able to engineer enough
pep" and enthusiasm" to come in
out of the rain.
As one OF the members of the
House District Committee truthful
ly stated. the Washington Railway
and Electric Company has made
their bed by their actions in the
past and our only hope out in the
most pleasant suburb of the city,
IS a concentrated effort by all to
expedite remedial measures, either
by competition being introduced, or
by moral pressure.
Should we as citizens, or should
the mebers of the District Com
mittee in the House. allow the in
terests Of our residents, the Catho-
lie University. and Trinity College
to be jeopardized to satisfy the
whims of a few?
Let the District or Federal Off
cials set aside their limousines for
a few days, take off their coats and
buckle down to the real work and
1 am sure that after a careful, per-
sonal scrutiny they will no doubt
find plenty Of room for improve
ment.
