NEW YORK, Dec. II Q.N.S).--
Down in the Bowery, a barometer
of the country's labor conditions,
times are pretty good. That is to
say, the run of floaters, buns and
jobless Is less than is customary on
the eve of winter. There is no
immediate prospect of a bread
line" such as was in evidence last
Christmas.
Urban Ledoux, the hobo's friend
who is widely know as Mr.. Zero, "
is doing business at the same old
stand-a food and rest emporium
called the "nickel-o-dime." There
he gives free breakfasts to the
dead broke" He made a tour
of the flop houses this morning and
passed out only 600 free breakfast
tickets. That shows how scarce
are the cases of absolutely desti-
tutes. A year ago the number ran
up into the thousands. Now most
of the drifters can afford a nickel
or a dime for a meal and 10 cents
for steamer chair" bunk for
the night.
At the Bowery Mission, the Had
ley Mission and the havens for
the human driftwood in Chinatown
there is no congestion. In the
Bowery. from Chatham Square to
Cooper Union. there are about 60
lodging houses, with accommoda-
tions for $4,000 beds. but they are
half empty.
From Chicago, however. come
less favorable reports. doc" Reit-
man, head of the hobo college there.
said today that Canal Street and
South State Street.-The Bowery
of Chicago'-is lined with jobless
men, and that their numbers are
increasing. Some are sleeping in
the police stations at night. Reit-
man SAYS the labor agencies have
few jobs for them and then at
cheap pay He thinks the situation
is very bad.
On the Pacific Coast conditions
are satisfactory. Reports from San
Francisco state that employment
conditions are normal" The usual
number of itinerants are drifting
into the big cities, their work in
the harvest fields and timber coun-
try having ended for the season.
But the employment and wage in
dex in Pacific Coast cities have
been showing an upward trend for
the past four months.

Wilmington Boy Shot
Hiking in Delaware

WILMINGTON, Del, Dec. H.
Fearing to fall behind in his studies,
Belmont FAIRIES, Is. a sophomore at
the Wilmington High School, went
to school with his arm in sling and
bullet somewhere in his right
shoulder. FAIRIES and several COM
panions were hiking on sshipley road
and suddenly he was shocked with
the impact OF bullet. following the
sound of a report of rifle.
Companions hurried him to the
hospital, where his injury was
dressed. but the boy refused to re-
main in the institution and also de-
clined to absent himself from his
studies. While it was not definitely
known how the wound was inflicted,
woodrow Smith, IL, companion on
the hike, said that while separated
from other members of the hiking
party, passed a man carrying two
guns. He said he borrowed a rifle
from the man and fired two shots at
random, but it is not known whether
one of these shots struck FAIRIES.

DOUBTED

JERSEY CITY, f. T., Dec. II
n.N.S.).-Police with graphing
irons were to search the bed of
the Delaware River today at a
spot between Columbia, n. j., and
Stafford, Pa, for the remains of
little Julia Mlodziantwska, third
victim of Peter Kudzinowski.
Searchers were unable to find
the body there yesterday.
The child-slayer was taken to the
scene where he said he threw the
mutilated body of the fiye-year-old
Jersey City girl from a. freight
train. He also was to be taken
to the spot near Lake Hopatcong,
N. j., mentioned in his confession
az the place where he lured the
tot from a picnic and strangled
and mistreated her.
Stories Vary
Because of conflicting statements
made by Kudzinowski yesterday
when he was taken to both places,
police believe he may have buried
her near the scene of the crime,
and that his story of the journey
on freight car may be a myth.
They pointed out that it would
have been A physical impossibility
for him to have thrown bags con-
tanning the severed parts of the
body and weights on a line from
the train over a high trestle on
the edge of the bridge eight feet
distant
Meanwhile New York detectives
grilled the slayer last night con-
cerning, the kidnapping of other
children in New York recently.
When taken hack over the scene
of the crime, Kudzinowski retraced
his actions with the utmost relish,
detectives said. They We're filled
with revulsion at his Celebrations
