DELINQUENT TAXPAYERS
 APPEAR IN POLICE COURT
Woman Pleads Poverty But Col lcctor's Investigation Explodes
 Her Defense.

Delinquent personal tax payers made their first appearance in police court this morning, but Judge Will liam C. Hungerford found it neces- sary in only one case to order the delinquent to pay up the s2. That was in the case of Mrs, Anna Bucz- kowski of 432 Beach street who told the court that she could not pay 1t, as she did not have any money.
 Tax Collector Bernadotte Loomis had investigated the womans case and found that her husband is en- ployed steadily and that they own the house in which they live. The woman was held at police headquar- ters until somebody appeared and paid her tax.
 Quintelina Topes of 45 Cherry street was found to be Quintelina Lopes who had paid his tax, so he was discharged. When he was ar raigned before the court, he produc- ed a receipt for his tax, and ex- plained that he was evidently listed twice at the city hall, both as Topes and Lopes.
 There were four Spanish delin- quents summoned before the court, but as there was no interpreter present, Assistant Prosecutor Will liam A. Greenstein asked that the cases be continued until Monday. After court adjourned. the four paid the s2 to Collector Loomis and the charges against them were with drawn, They were Paul Rametta Of 2S4 High street, Mary Rametta same address, Robert and Odello Escrira of g. Lafayette street.
 A number of warrants for other dclinquents are in the hands of the police and will be served if the peo- pie who have failed to heed the notices of the tax collector do not appear and settle their accounts

TEACHES FARMING
 ALONE IN ARMENIA
Miss Phyllis Brown, a Vassar College Girl, Shows Methods

i Djalal Qglu, Armenia, Oct. 25.--
 American newspaper readers will
 scarcely recognize the date-line on
 this story. for Djalal Oglu does no,
 appear in any gazetteer or geosrs-
 phy It is town of 5000 souls, de-
 tached from the outside world and
 buried In the heart of the mountains Of Armenia. It doesn't even boast of a telegraph office, newspaper, automobile or trolley car. But there is a Vassar college girl here, Miss Phyllis Brown of Poughkeepsie, N. r., who is teaching the Armehians American methods of farming.
 Miss Brown, who is connected with the American Near East Relief. not only has made two potatoes to grow where only one grew before, but she has taught the Armenian peasants American methods of dairying, cat tie raising and poultry culture. Be- fore coming to Armenia she took an intensive course in agriculture at Vassar college, graduating with high honors.
 The young American girl has in- troduced the project" system of farming In Armenia, which proved so successful in the United States during the World War. She began her work here by giving instruction in agriculture to classes of destitute Armenian orphans. But now she is conducting several large model farms, which attract great numbers of farmers eager to increase their knowledge Of agriculture. Miss Brown has produced vegetables of such superb quality and size that the natives think she Is supernaturaIly endowed. They were amazed when she produced sweet potatoes. which have never been seen in Armenia.
 When the correspondent arrived in Djalal Oglu, after a ten-hour trip in an ox-cart over the Armenian mountains, he found the young Vas sar graduate working a huge Amer ican plough, drawn by two sturdy camels, while a class Of several hum dred men and boys looked on. Until Miss Browns advent, the Armenians had nothing except the old wooden plough In use in Biblical times.

Max D. Honeyman and Louis Hartman have retained Judge George W. klett to defend them in the &C., ton brought by Morris Racher for Slo,000 damages for injuries which he alleges he sustained because of an assault claimed to have been committed on October 20.

It is their claim that they merely went after an automobile wbieh was their property and that there was no fight.

Silk dresses and clock silk hosiery
are embroidered in tenement houses
in New York city by women and child
rem, according to testimony before
the state child welfare commission
at public hearing to determine what
changes, if any, should be made in
tenement house labor.
Margaret A. McGroarty, visiting
teacher, told of frightful conditions
in the Italian section of upper New
York She said manufacturing work
is done in nearly every home she Wis
tied. Children as young as 3 work
on artificial flowers. With their tiny
fingers they apply the petals.
"The wages are deplorable," she
testified "Crochet dresses that sell
for $49.50 are finished for 81. Condi-
tions in East Harlem are simply ap-
palling. Personal articles of apparel
are made in homes where disease is
prevalent. The children come home
from school, don't wash their hands
but go right to work during the noon
intermission and eat when they can.
have seen children embroider the
clocks on silk stockings sold in our
high grade stores. They make arti-
fetal flowers, babies caps and boots.
For June roses they get 20 cents a
gross. For the clocks on stockings
they are paid at the rate of $3.50 to
$3.50 for dozen pairs"
| 1t is not true that tenement work is
done mainly by poor widows, George
A. Hall, secretary of the child well
fare commission, told the state COM
mission. A survey, he said disclosed
that widows form less than 10 per
cent of the entire human element en-
gagged in factory work and that in
I2,080 families, LOGS earned less than
$500 a year and the remainder less

made more than $500.
DR.. Anne S. Daniels of the New
York infirmary for women, told the
commission that insanitary conditions
and communicable diseases prevail in
many tenement homes where work is
done for manufacturers.
| With few exceptions, witnesses fa-
vored the abolition of home manufac-

WOULD REVISE LAWS

Albany, N. Y.-The formation of a
permanent ministry of justice in this
state to study defects in the law is
favored by committee to investigate
tdefects in the law, appointed for this
purpose by Governor Smith.
The report says that "disinterest-
ed agency should exist to survey the
body of our law patiently and calmly
and deliberately, attempting no sud-
den transformation, nor cutting at the
roots, the growth of centuries, the
products of peoples life in it's grad
ual evolution, but pruning and trans
planting here and there with careful
hands"
1t is not the purpose, the report
continues, for the proposed ministry
of justice to busy itself with schemes
of legislation unrelated to the existing
body of our law. 1t is not to take
sides as between one view and another

new building is unique in its conven-
lent location and in it's publicity value.
1t is in striking contrast to monu-
mental building costing three or four
million dollars which in some cities
have been erected so far from the
traffic center that the use of books
has shown marked decrease. The
situation of the branch is expected
to make it popular with the working
people of the city, who have found it
difficult to make full use of the main
library building because of it's incon-
venient location.
When the building trades unions
were asked if they would be willing
to donate their labor for the construc-
tion of the building, their response
was immediate. They took a keen
interest in the project and not only
was the work done in way that is
