Owen Lovejoy Tells ChurchMeeting of rnderpiiid
(Mrl Workers.
Owen I.ovejoy, secretary of the Na-
tional 'Child Ijibor Committee, spokelast night at the Church of the Ascen-sion, Fifth avenue and Tenth street,and was hecklpd In the discussion afterthe service, when he congregation ad-
journs to the parish house around thecorner.
Mr. Lovejoy's subject was "SocialStandards of Industry" and he dis-
cussed briefly wages, hours, housingand child njid woman labor.
He said "that a recent bulletin onwage show--s thnt there are 5,000,000workers In this country getting J6 orless a week. Investigation of the condl- -
gr I'oiisn looorers in t0 ,mvp a stubbyshowed they more pmH hardly plucked the

"If this Is the condition among thimen," Mr. I.ovejoy. "what shall bn
of tho women, or girls whoso onlystake Is their labor?"
Investigations have bepn made tolearn the minimum a wepk on which agirl can properly. In Huffalo It wasplaced ut $S u week, and yet" In that citytho nvernge working girl receives from
to $ii a week. Mr. I.ovejoy gavefigures for other cities showing a simi-lar condition.
"Wage nre affected by aIndustrial currency; child
labor," the speaker explained. "Menand women laborers nre affected by a
pfllclent but lower paid labor Isuggest the establishment of a
minimum wage commission of employ,ers, employees and members of thecommunity, not an autocratic au-thority, a democratic liody."
Mr. I.ovejoy that the eight hourday absolutely necessary for the manual laborer working day after day ntwork which reipilres constant, monotonous repetition.
"Isn't It strange how our chivalryworks out?" he snld. "If eight houisnre enough for the men employed hythe Government and for the tradeunions. Isn't It long enough for theworking woman and the working child''We say that If women go to the polls it
destroy our hut where Isour chivalry when we let our womenwork 120 hours a week In the canningIndustries In our own State?"
Hecentfy in a mill town In the Southhe arose one morning at 5 o'clock tocatch a train, on his way to the. station he passed a small, gnarled, pastyfaced boy whom he stopped under agas lamp and asked him where he wasgoing.
"Daown to the mill," said the boy."I asked him how long he would be
there," said Mr. I.ovejoy, "and he saiduntil 0 oclock that evening. For theclay's work he said he would get 40
cents.were 1,750.000 child workers

palish house, where one of the decora-tions was Sorolla'n "Trieste IlcreneU"(The Heritage), the large paintingof a flock of naked crippled childrenbathing In the ea charge of a monk.
Next week Ida Husted Harper willspeak on "Votes 'for Women."

I'll rent of lllvorce Ornvr Onp VnmiKlliislifiml to Demand I'ronrrutlnn.Hki.viukrb, N .J., Dec. 22. An elderly
merchant who has exhibited signs ofmental weakness Is suspected of beingthe anonymous letter writer who hasset half the town by the ears. County
Stryker said y that Itwould lie unfair to say that any onewas suspected, but that evidently theletters were from a person whoso mindwas diseased.
The State will not take the tnltlntlveIn prosecuting nny one who not re-sponsible for his nets, because If thllwas done many of those who have re-ceived letters would be subjected topublicity. If all the letters were readin open court it behoved that moreharm than good would result. Tho postofllce Inspectors will do no further workIn the case until they hear from Mr.Stryker.
The Inspectors their suspicionsaroused shortly after their arrival Intown by a letter whlcli told detailswhich occurred in sight of the place ofbusiness of this merchant. Then theylearned of his peculiarities. A talkwith him disclosed he was purtlcu-latl- y
opposed to somo of the youngfolks of the town who weru recentlywidded. This seemed to bo a hobbywith him. It was not thought worthwhile to get specimens of his writingunci the inspectors reported to

And then when tho shiny brass rlr.gthat every onp had sppn disappear IntoSam Hrodsky's pockPt a mompnt be-

The more he thought of the numberof children who were going Into othorbasements the more the scheme toothold and a month ngo he went forthand bought him a mandolin.
The gray lingers of dawn coming upfrom the river fell upon the little cob-bler bending over twanging wires. Wheneven thp cats of l'ltt street slept thereIn his basement Hchmerle was all dili-gence and tunes till ono day he feltthat he had mastered the instrument.

and the next moment the dust of theleathery place arose, as Minnie's feetshuffled excitedly to Schmerle's play-ing.
When Minnie had gone Schmerle'sheart beat In time with his rnt-tattl-
hammer as he'ponderpd thp possibilitiesof his adventure and fluttered from hopeto despair over Its chance of success.
Hut nil the world over no one lovesa tune with a swing to it and the playerthereof more than the child or the HastHide, and Minnie's tidings went downtuneful Pitt street and Jigging Lewisstreet and even unto Grand street, fos-

Schmerle rollicked thnt and manymore tunes off for them, nnd at supperthey told Indulgent parents that thevery best shoe Ilxer man In all the citywas Scluiurle Hurnsteln.
As the stub teed shoes began to findtheir way to Schmerle's last, while theirowners hung nbout leseechlng music,Schmerle's heart grew large within him,for he tasted of succpss and found itsweet.
Then Schmerle's father, from the darkcorner whetp he sits all day tugging ata reflective beard, for he Is a very oldman, said something to his son In Yid-dish that made Schmerle's eyes snap.That night In place of the mandolinthere was the long black Zauber stick,the magic wand of the Kast Side trickmnn.
Minnie had been the first to point theway, unci bo It was for her alonp twoweeks ago that Schmerle muttered thewords that every magician must say,the mysterious words that you canonly learn by standing In fnlry ringson a certain night when the moon IsJust so and all tho little people are out.Then he made passes at the handker-chief that could not possibly have thering In It. slnre Minnie was 'sure sheclutched the brass bit In her owntightly crumpled handkerchief and thenflung ont tiro ring while Minnie skippedand clapped.
The Zauber stick won those that themandolin had failed to lure. All lastweek the basement shop rnng with'Ohs" and "Mys" as the pennies fell clat-tering Into Schmerhi's hat from Myer'sastonished nose and the rings vanishedInto thin air nnd the little glass bottlewas found In Sadie's hair ribbon.

Next to a store window In 125th streetbright with Christmas greens and redsilk ribbons a middle aged man sat limplyat a doorstep yesterday holding out hisleft hand for alms. His right coat rleevndangled flat and empty and beside himrested a crutch.
Westward through 125th street strolledPatrolman .lames Kavanaugh of the newIjenox avenue station. It was the police-man's duty to make the beggar "move on,"but the tired, hopeless look of him, ac-cented In an uncomfortable way by theChristmas greens and gay ribbons of thestore window, gave tho policeman pause.
"It's tough to see a man like you withyour right arm gone," said PolicemanKavanaugh Instead, "especially in thisholiday season. But you mustn't begthis way on busy streets," the big police-man went on gently, "and I'll have to tellyou to go away "
"I know you have to do your duty,officer," the beggar answered withoutcomplaint. "I'll be moving- - on. Goodmorning, officer
Policeman Kavanaugh helped the beg-gar man to his feet and adjusted his oldcap. As the beggar, leaning heavily onhis crutch hobbled away the policemnngazed after him.

Only the crutch remained on the cornerwhen Policeman Kavanaugh reached it.The poor, crushed human wreck waseight jumps ahead and going up Seventhavenue in the direction of Albany At128th street the policeman could almostreach the beggar, but not quite.
The beggar, realizing that the officerwanted to see him. turned suddenly.

"GOTXO TO MOVE RAPIDLY."
Mrs. Henth Declares Sotncthinp;Must He Done to Make
Dealers Sell.
Mrs. Julian Heath, national presi-
dent of the Housewives I.engue, saidyesterday nfternoon nt her home, 175
West Klghty-elght- h street, thnt thelengup would stiyt a crusade this weekhaving for Its object the unloading onthe market ofYpples thnt lire beingheld In great quantities fdV an IncreaseIn prices.
"The apple market Is going to moveand it's 'going to move rapidly," Mrs.Heath said, "nnd if the dealers do notunload the league will bo obliged toenter Into competition with apples ofIts own. We do not want to do thisIf we can help It, but something mustbo done to place on tho market theapples thnt are being hrvld back.
"In a Western city recently ten car-loads of apples were destroyed becauseof tho oversupply. Sppculators arpnot pprmlttlng apples to reapli the con-
sumers In nny great quantities andeverything Is being done to keep upthe price.
"The league has had such success InIts cold storage egg crusade that manycommission merchants have asked usto handle this and thnt foodstuff.
"We have learned thnt some of thedealers who promised us to place coldstorage eggs, properly labelled ns such,In their markets did so for two dayslast week and then took them out.thinking the women had forgotten allnbout them. Hut the women havelonger memories than that.
"We have advices that tho hens InKnnsas, Texas and particularly Okla-homa nre laying well ns the result ofmild weather, and Wostern eggs aresoon bound to bo plentiful. That meansthere will be less demand soon for coldstorage eggs nnd prices will break.
"The league purposes to keep nt thiscrusade until cold storage eggs findtheir way Into the market In suttlclentquantities to supply the demnnd. Wodo not want to be forced here In NewYork to sell on the streets, as thowomen have been doing In lloston, Chi-cago. Detroit nnd Philadelphia. Werealize that we would have the advan-tage over the dealers, ns we would nothave nny rent to pay and would beable to undersell them. We thereforewant to avoid becoming nctlve com-petitors If wo cnn. We shall not goInto the market if the eggs are broughtout of cold storage for sale."
Mrs. Heath said that one of the prin-cipal illincultles encountered In get-ting foodstuffs out of the storehousesIs the fact that although shippers arodesirous of selling the commission menrefuse to handle their stock. This ap-plied to eggs as well as upples.
"One egg shipper," continued Mrs.Heath, "said to me- 'The commissionman Is like the dog In the manger. Hewon't take from me and he won't letyou have them.'
"Women are beginning to learn thatthey have great Influence" nnd "If theywill only cooperate In the Interest ofthemselves nnd tho family pnpketbookthey will be able to get what theywant at fair and reasonable prices."
WOMAN'S ARREST NEAR
OF
Sweetheart, of Safe BlowerTrailed to Ohicaco
Vice District.
Chicacio, Dec. 22. Gertie Krlsble,awrethoart of Kddle Tate and associateof eafe blowers and, thURB, Is sought lythe police In tho murdermystery. In the red IIkM district thetrail of nertlo nnd her unnamed malecompanion temporarily was lost.
The story of the visits of the blondeof tho tliloveto I.ofruo's
olllce before the murder, however, andthe suddi'n blossomltiR out of Gertie inunexplained finery kept a squad of de-
tectives closo on the trail of the pair.Alonp with the quest for Gertie nnd
tho anonymous man came anothersearch almost equal In Importance.
Willie Gllhooli-y- , a diamond thief ofInternational reputation, was found tobe In the city. .Gllhoolcy and a sllfihtwoman known to tho jiollce as Leono,were neon In several South Side placeswithin the last month.
The diamond thief has kept his move-ments so veiled the police did not knowhe had returned to Chicago yntll to-
day. When'lhey did they set a squadof detectives to searching for him.
Tho Krlsble woman becamo the centreof the Investigation when It was learnedthat Logue's otllco In the McVlckerTheatre Itulldlng had been visited re-peatedly by a blond woman reputed tobe the nssoclato and agent for a gangof thieves. The woman was known byStephen Doiza, the oIIU'o boy, only as"Gertie."
Tho description of Gertie Frlsbln laalmost Identical with that of the visitor.Moreover, she had long associated withcriminals of tho type credited with tor-turing the diamond broker to death lasFriday noon.
Gertie was a familiar figure In SouthSldo cafes up to a year ago, when hersweothcort, Kddlo Tate, the most notori-ous safe blower in tho world, was con-victed and sentenced In Pennsylvania.,
After Tate's conviction, Gertiedropued out of sight. What had be-come of her was not known until nweek ago, whop sho appeared wearingan expensive gown of latest cut, andher hair dyed.
Gertie tnado no eifort to explain hernew found wealth. Tho pollco credither with visiting Loguo in tin effortto dispose of some of tho proceeds ofa robbery. This fact, along with 'thepossibility of jealously on the part ofher companion, are accepted ns suf-ficient motlvo to prompt men of thecalibre of those under Investigation tocommit murder.
The police are convinced that thoeight prisoners they are now holdingnan nottimg to ao with the murder ofLogue.

cal Colonial Mansion, (whether it
be of Southland or of New ! in-
land), appeals to our patriotic imagina-
tion.
Our Colonial reproductions so
carefully modelled after most judi-
ciously selected and authentic of origi-
nals that they bring into their latter
day surroundings all the appealing
charm of by --gone times.
These Sideboards and Chairs for the
Dining Room, these High-boy- s ami
Four-po- st Bedsteads for the, Sleeping
Chamber fall short in no degree of
the historical examples they reproduce
bo faithfully.
