the mystery surrounding the defunct

place on June rs, 1891. in honor of

Pilot so Years on Job
Still Active in Service

NORFOLK. Va. Nov. 25.-Prac--
tically Fifty years of consecutive
service is the record Of Capt. i. II.
Gregory, veteran master pilot Of
the Portsmouth Norfolk County
ferries. who. desipte his 7s years,
Is yet the capable pilot.
Roughly estimated, Capt. Greg
ory has made 10000 trips be-
tween Norfolk, Portsmouth and
Berkley on the boats OF the Ports
mouth-Norfolk County ferries. He
went into the service OF the ferries
here October IA. 1878. as a pilot.
Prior to that time he was a second
mate on vessels plying beween
Northern and Southern ports on the
Atlantic seaboard.
Capt. Gregory is a white-haired
man OF medium build. Life on the
river has given his cheeks a perma-
nent ruddiness and put a keen Hight
in his blue eyes. He does not look
at all like a man 70 years old. and
he impresses one as being a decid-
edly vigorous person and destined
for many years of useful service.

East Orange Statues
DESTROYED by Vandals

EAST ORANGE, N. j., Nov. 2'-
Alden Freeman. who . year ago gave
a park. playground, swimming POOL
and some statuary to the city OF
East Orange, was walking in the
park when he discovered that sew.
eral statues had been broken by a
person who evidently welded a
sledge hammer with great force
Virtually all the statuary, worth
100000. was either defaced or de.
stroyed.
The statue of Pocahontas had been
knocked off its base and the head
cracked. The face OF Christophei
Columbus had been battered in.
Stephen A. Douglas likeness was
chipped at all sharp points. Confucius
Jared little better.
Mr.. Freeman telephoned Charles
Martens, mayor Of East Orange, who
instructed Chief of Police O'Neill to
find the man who broke the statues
Mr.. Freeman said he probably will
have the statuary restored. Neither
he nor Chief O'Neill can ascribe any
motive other than mere vandalism.

ment was taken, Mrs. FELTON, re-

Up in the galleries. however, many
anxious members of her sex were
praying that by some contingency
she would be called up before the
bar of the Senate, there to raise
her right hand and take the oath

United States.
But it didn't happen. because. as
the venerable Lodge pointed out, no
vacancy which Mrs. FELTON, could
fill could possibly exist until the
death CT Senator Watson was for
many made known, and austere GUS
tom required that as soon as the
announcement was made the Senate
could do nothing else but adjourn.
So the whole affair went over until

made of the deaths of John I. No

Jewish Relief Association to
Erect Factory at Colorado
Sanitarium.
BY MICHAEL F. DACEY,

DENVER, Nov. 20.-Establishmen
Of system of industrial rehabilfta-
ton for tubercular patients who have
been restored to health will be under
taken Immediately by the Jewish
Consumptives' Relief Society, ac-
cording to announcement here.
DR.. Abram Gideon, of New York
city, recently appointed national d.
rector of educational publicity for
the society, will have charge of the
new social service department, which
will include operation of the in.
dustrial rehabilitation system and
all other forms of contact between
the society and the public.
The Jewish, Consumptives' Relief
Society operates the largest Jewish
sanitarium for the tuberculous in
the world. 1t is non-sectarian. how
ever, in providing treatment to
patients of all creeds, but only in
digent consumptives are admitted.
DR.. Gideon, who will maintain his
office at the society's headquarters
at 81 Union Square, New York city,
is at present in Denver. The society
already has a contributing member
ship of 100000.
1--WE are standing at the dawn Of
a new era in the history Of the
sanitarium," declared DR.. Phillip
Hillkowitz, president of the associa-
ton, in announcing the enlarged
plans of the society. AFTER eighteen
years of successful experience, in
which we have had the support Of
the entire nation, we have come to
realize that we need other agencies
besides strictly medical treatment to
restore our pat .ents to physical and
mental health and that our task is
only half done when we have set
those intrusted to our care free from
the dread disease"
The more important phase of the
enlarged policy of the institution
was outlined by DR.. l. D. Bronfin,
superintendent of the sanitarium,
following a meeting of the board Of
trustees of the institution.
When a consumptive has recov-
cred his health" DR.. Bronfin said, he
should not become a charge upon
this community, If he remains here,
nor upon his home community, if he
should return to that place. Even
though he be able to work only two
to four hours a day he should be
given opportu lity to occupy himself.
I'VE expect soon to open a FAC
tory. starting on a small scale and
gradually extending the enterprise,
In which our patients. under strict
medical and technical supervision,
In sanitary surroundings, will en-.
gage in producing such merchan.
disc as they can handle and for
which a profitable market exists or
can be created"

X. Atkinson before the American

Mr.. Atkinson, connected with the

sports was a necessary part Of any
penal institution, and declared, "As
a matter Of fact, many of those in
charge Of penal institutions must
take q choice not between work and
play, but between idleness and
play"
Prison officials, throughout the

OF something to occupy the man or
woman behind the walls in an In

their Incarceration. Mr.. Atkinson
emphasized his need. He said in
part:
Sports have been givenssuch a
definite place in the program Of penal
institutions that It is necessary for
us to make them OF the greatest
value to the men and to the routine
of the institution.
There has been criticism Of the
large use that is being made Of
sports. Theoretically. the State pro-
vides industrial activities for in
mates. but, as a matter of fact, the
institution is rare which provides
worthwhile activiues for all Of its
inmates. 49,
"As a result, sports must be used.
not only in their more legitimate and
wholesome way as a relaxation for'
leisure time, but must be used to
keep the men from brooding in idle
