 MOTHER DIFFER

Mrs. Charles Broadbin, 257 Dover street, whose son Francis. 1-2 years of age was run over and killed by a Ford delivery machine operated on Saturday morning by Frank A Lark, in, asked to be heard at the hearing conducted by Coroner John J. Phelan this morning. She then broke forth with a bitter and fearful denuncla- Ition of Alexander Morrisey, Investiga- tor of the Charities Departm ent, al leging that he passed the scene of the accident immediately after 1t happen ed and refused to take the dying lad to a hospital. He is said to have ad- vised reporting the accident to the police, and then driven away.
 MT. MorriSey was reached at his home shortly after noon today and was very much surprised to hear the version as recited before the coroner this morning. MT. Morrisey stated that at the time he passed the scene of the tragedy the payroll for over was in the machine, but that in spite of this he immediately had his car turned around but that when he again reached the corner of Bond and Tu- dor streets that the motorcyclist had already departed for the hospital with the injured lad.
 Brid g.epor-t hospital is but about a 3-rninute autom obiIe run from the corner of Bond and Tudor streets where the accident occurred and Mrs Broadbin- cannot be convinced that the subsequent delay of perhaps 10 minutes might have caused her boy to die.

BARRIERS MAY
 GO ON STRIKE
 OVER LOCKOUT

Trouble that had been brewing for some time among barbers came to a head Saturday night when general lockout of union men was declared by five boss barbers.

 Saturday night when the bosses were notified of the rejection of their proposals, nine men were immediate Iv locked out of five shops. The other 13 bosses, it is reported, becoming alarmed over the prospect of a gem eraI strike, acceeded to the demand | of the barberS and retained thelf l present wage scales

 It was said about City Hall this morning that Mayor Clifford E.

Then he will, if City Hall opinion IS well founded, express his complete disapproval of the conduct of Director I A.

 The nature of his defense would not be divulged today and more than a little interest is shown in the stand that he will take.
 Seward B. Price, secretary of the Chamber, when questioned this morn ing, professed ignorance of new de- velopments into the situation, al though he stated that fthe hoped there would be some." When asked for an explanation of the statement, MT. Price was non-committal.
