Street Car Workers Attend Opening of |
Club Provided by the Receiver of |
the Railroad Company and Drank
Tea Served by Society Women.
New York, April 13. — The Third !
Avenue railroad set was entertained |
at tea by Frederick W. Whitridge, the |
receiver. Socially prominent control
ler twisters, bell pullers and car |
nurses from the dry dock, East Broad- |
way and Battery, the Kingsbridge and
the Harlem circles, as well as the un-
jon younger set from The Bronx, in
dulged in tea, lady fingers and pleas |
urable conversation until a late hour. |
A good time was enjoyed by all
Mr. Whitridge has thought for a long
time that the employes of the Third |
Avenue would much prefer a cup of |
the cheering oolong to a shell of culgar |
suds, and a plate of tea biscuits to a
forkful of sauerkraut from the free
lunch counter, When he fell heir to
the old Mount Morris hotel, at Third
avenue and One Hundred and Thir
tieth street, Mr. Whitridge tore it down
and built in its place a clubhouse for
the railroad men.
As soon as the day crews had work:
ed out their tricks the men beat it up
to the clubhouse for the formal open: |
ing. They went just as they quit
work, except for a dab or two at the
face and hands. Nobody had to bother
sbout climbing into troublesome
frock coats and top hats, or worry
about the proper shade of Ascots for
afternoon functions. i
Miss Anna Morgan, the daughter of
J. Pierpont Morgan, helped Miss
Eleanor Whitridge and Miss Jean |
Whitridge entertain the Third Ave |
nue men, and some of the others wha
were kept fairly busy from the middle
of the afternoon until late in the even
ing were Miss Edna Biddle, Miss Paul |
ine Robinson, Mrs. Douglas Robinson,
Miss Marjorie Curtis, Miss Katherine
Maher, Mrs. J. Borden Harriman and
Mrs. Clement Griscom. i
Thieves Stole a Locomotive.
Thieves itole a locomotive on the |
New Haven raliroad at Hopewell, N. |
Y., and after running it ten miles
abandoned it when the steam gave |
out. The stalled locomotive tied up |
trains until more steam could be gen- |
erated. The thieves escaped. i
Declines Ambassadorship.
It was announced that Judge Mayer
Sulzberger, of Philadelphia, has de
clined the post of ambassador to Tur
key, offered him by President Taft.
Judge Sulzberger is a distinguished
member of the bar of Philadelphia and
a well known Oriental scholar.
Burned to Death Cleaning Gloves.
While attempting to clean gloves
with gasoline, flames from a gas stove
ignited the gasoline and set fire to
the clothing of Miss Jennie Livingston
at Lynn, Mass, and she was burned
to death.
Ci! Wa~ Placed on the Free List, Bul
Free Lumber Was Voted Down—Du-
ties Increased on Gloves, Stockings
and Bariey—Tobacco Raisers Must
Not Pay Manufacturers’ License to
Sell Crop.
After thre weeks of consideration
the Payne tari®f bill passed the house
of representatives by a vote of 217 te
161. One Republican (Austin, Ten
nessec) voted against the measure,
and four Democrats, all from Louis
jana, Messrs. Broussard, Estopinal,
Pujo and Wickliffe, voted for it. An
attempt by Champ Clark, the minority
leader, to recommit the bill with in.
structions, signally failed.
One of the principal changes effect:
ed in the bill since its introduction
was the placing of petroleum upon the
free list. This involved a more seri
ously contested fight than any of the
other amendments. Speaker Cannon,
during debate on the amendment to
reduce the duty, took the floor in de
fense of the higher rate of duty. Al
though an amendment to place oil on
the free list was lost Thursday a simi
lar amendment offered by Chairman
Payne was carried.
Among the other important amend
ments were those striking out the pro
vision for a duty on tea and the coun
tervailing duty proviso on coffee. The
elimination of the maximum duty of
. 20 per cent on coffee, contained in
the maximum and minimum section of
the bill. was also significant.
The section restricting the contents
| of packages of tobacco was amended
to conform to the present law in ordet
that union labels may not be excluded
from such packages. The drawback
section was added so that it couid
not be taken advantage of for the pur
pose of speculating in grain, and the
Philippine free trade provision was
! amended so that rice will not be ad
mitted free from the islands. The
countervailing duty clause on lumber
was stricken out, but a strong effort
to place lumuver on the free list did
not succeed.
The duties on barley. barley malt
charcoal iron, pineapples in crates,
saccharine, medicated cotton and col.
ton collars and cuffs, as originally in
the bill, were increased.
The internal revenue law was also
amended so that raisers of tobacco
will not have to pay a manufacturers’
license in order to dispose of their leal
tobacco. There were several technical
| changes in the steel schedule, princi
pally downward, and lace curtain and
netting machines were included in the
proviso which permits the entry free
of duty of lace machinery prior to
May 1, 1910. Hides, hosiery and
gloves were left as reported by the
committee, hides remaining free and
an increased duty being presented for
gloves and stockings.
Glanders From Pet Horse Kills Woman
Through her fondness for a very
gentle horse, Mrs. John W. Fenner,
of Hilltown township, near Doyles
town, Pa., died of glanders, a fatal dis
ease with which her favorite horse was
afflicted.
It was Mrs. Fenner's custom to pet
the horse and fondle its head, in
which way she readily contracted the
disease, which has not appeared in
this county very often.
The symptoms were so mild that
until last week, when she became
alarmingly ill, it was not suspected
that she had the disease.
To prevent the spreading of the
glanders, four horses on the farm were
killed and the premises will be under
the strictest quarantine.
Roosevelt Meets King of Italy.
Ex-President Theodore Roosevelt
and King Victor Emmanuel met on
the italian battleship Re Umberto in
the Messina harbor. The meeting was
characterized by the utmost cordiality,
and the king took occasion to express
the: gratitude of himself and the Ital
ian people tor the generous assistance
of the American people to the earth-
quake sufferers. At the close of the
interview Mr. Roosevelt went ashore
and inspected the ruins of the city,
the desolation of which moved him
strongly. He then boarded the steamer
Admiral. which hoisted her anchors
and proceeded on her way to Mom-
basa.
Coal Men Are Deadlocked.
Alter conferences in the city of Phll-
adelphia, extending since Wednesday,
the anthracite coal operators and the
officials of the United Mine Workers
of America, representing the miners,
at which the question of a wage agree-
ment was discussed to replace that
brought about by the anthracite strike
commission, the operators rejected the
modified demands of the miners, and
the conference adjourned dead-locked.
There will be no strike inaugurated
by the mine workers, however, and the
enly danger of a suspension of mining
| in the near future, according to the
| mine workers’ officials, arises from the
. possibility of the refusal of the op-
erators to permit the miners to work
without an azreement.
{
The modified demands of the miners |
requested that the mine workers be
recognized as “Anthracite Workers”
| and that certain conditions regarding
new work by the miners in which
| wages were involved and which would |
give increased pay to the miners,
Found $1000 Bill on Collection Plate.
The insertion of an advertisement
in a Washington, Pa., paper to the!
effect that there had been found in
the collection plate of the Roscoe
Methodist Episcopal church, near
here, after the services last Sunday
night a $1000 bill, developed the fact
that the church officers think the
donor made a mistake. The yearly
collections of the church do not aver
age much more than this amount, and
the officials in the advertisement state;
that they will return the money to the | ——John Ishler, a brother of ex-sherifl

Justice Jefiries gave a decision uphold
ing the right of a father to administer
the old fashioned spanking to his sev
enteen-year-old daughter, even if he:
dignity suTered. Granzin
aged seventeen, had her father arrest:
ed for disturbing the peace after a

theaters, and the justice decided that
spanking young ladies of seventeen
was admissible in moderation.
