CITY HOLDS BACK $1,130
FROM CONTRACTOR'S FAY
Refuses to Turn Over That Amount to
Walter Until It Is Determined Who
Is Liable For Injuries to Woman
Who Fell Into Hole In Street
Charles P. Walter, asphalt repairs
contractor, to-day certified to the city
that he has put all streets in repair
and has complied with his five-year
' contract which ran to April 1, last.
City officials said this morning, how
• ever, that for the pre«ent only {2,620
of the remaining unpaid quarterly al
lowance of $3,700 will be paid to the
contractor. The amount to be withheld
from Walter, $1,130, represents the
amount of a $1,050 verdict which
Lulu and William O'Brien obtained
a?rainst the city in a damage suit
brought as the result of injuries Mrs.
O'Brien suffered when she fell into a
1 hole in the asphalt in Court street al
most two year* ago. It also includes
the amount of costs entailed through
the cout action in that damage suit.
The $1,130 is to be withheld by the
city at the suggestion of the" con
tractor 's surety company, so officials
• said, and also because the city has dis
clainled liability for Mrs. O'Brien's
injuries, contending the street repair
contractor was at fault in not having
repaired the hole into which Mrs.
' O'Brien fell.
The contractor is to receive the
, | $2,620 installment next week. Walter
i has been informed of the city's inten
sion to withhold $1,130 and he said
'' to-day that while ho believee the city
•I should bear the cost of the O'Brien
j damage suit, it is entirely likelv that
his lawyer and City Solicitor Sei'tz will
•get iogether shortly—probably next
j week—and amicably frame an issue
I to have the court determine without a
1 j jury trial, who actually is liable for
the damages.

JACKSON ONJE NEW JOBS
Some of Positioni Created Under New
Law Have B*en In Existence—Men
Paid From Contingent Fund
Commissioner John Price Jackson,
head of the Department of Labor and
Industry, said this afternoon that the
bill signed by the Governor last nigbt, 1
while it gives his department 50 ad- j
ditional inspecto.s, does not actually i
make an increase in the number of j
; employes.
Twenty-nine apparently new posi- |
tions. exclusive of the 50 new inspect- !
ors, he said, have been in existence for i
some time and have been necessary j
for the suctessfui carrying on of the
department's work. The men filling i
them have been paid out of the con
tingent fund up to the present time,
but it was considered proper to place
their names on. the regular pay roll,
thus doing away with the necessitv of
paying them out of the contingent
fund, and that is provided for in the
bill approved by the Governor.
As for the increase in the number
of deputy inspectors from 50 to 100,
Mr. Jackson said that the fiftv deputy
inspectors in Pennsylvania now have
work that the two hundred deputies in
New York State do, and it was to dis
tribute the work mor# throughout the
State and have it done more effectually
that the new inspectorships were cre
ated.
It is Commissioner Jackson's inten
tion to have his deputies thoroughly
cover every section of the Btate. He
says fifty men could not do this ef
fectually. Hence he a ked for the in
crease which the new ,aw giveh him.

Possess Power to Grant Jury Trial
on Habeas Corpus Writ
Fj» Associated Press.
New York, April 24.—Harry K.
Thaw, who went to sleep in the Tombs
prison last night elated by his belief
that he had won his long fight for a
jury trial to test his sanity, awoke to
day to learn that he must await a deci-1
sion of the appellate division of the
Supreme Court before sych a hearing
would be granted.
This new check in his attempt legal
ly to obtain his freedom from the
Matteawan asylum, to which Justice
Page had ordered him returned, was due
to the announcement ov Attorney Gen
eral Woodbury that the State "would
make application to the appellate divi
sion for a writ of prohibition against
the order for a jurv trial granted yes
terday bv Justice Hendrick.
i Mr. Woodbury's decision was made
public at'ter Thaw had retired for the
night. The Attorney General contends
that Justice Hendrick does not possess
power to grant a jury trial on the
writ of habeas corpus obtained bv
Thaw.

SACREDRfIBE STOLENAND
USED AS A TABLE CLOTH
Police Recover Costly Garment. Which
Is Torn and Shows Cigarette Barns
—Other Articles Taken Prom Syn
agogue Still Are Missing
A sacred robe used by T the rabbi of
a Jewish synagogue has been doing
duty as a tab!e cloth in a house on Fil
btrt street, according to a statement
made to-day by the police, who recov
ered the ro'oe of Rabbi Goldberg. The
rabbi identified it this morning in Po
lice Headquarters.
The robe was seen swinging in the
breeze from a wash line back of the
Filbert street house and a search war
rant was sworn out. Patrolmen Schel
has and Owens later took the warrant
and found the robe in the house. It is
much the worse for wear and cannot be j

Sweatshop Wages in
France Not Sufficient
to Keep Body and
Soul Together
FRENCH SENATE
IN WARM DEBATE
Extraordinary Statements ln Contro
versy to Fix Minimum Living Wage
When Report of Boards Created by
Government Are Submitted
By Associated Press,
Paris, April 24. 5.55 P. M.—Some
extraordinary statements regarding
sweatshop wages in this country were
brought out in . the Senate yesterday
during tho debate on a bill to fix a
minimum living wage throughout
France by boards created by the gov
ernment. Jeau Merel said that between
nine hundred thousand and one million
women in France are now enduring in
supportable servitude and receiving
wages barely sufl'.cient to maintain life.
M. Morel, Henry Cheron and Edouard
Herist stated that seventy-five per cent,
of the workers at home on household
linen goods make from 2 1-10 cents to
4 cents per hour by intense industry. In
provincial centers pay for uch
work is one cent per hour.
In Paris fourteen per cent, of the
women working upon undergarments
make a maximum of fatty dollars year
ly. Makers of artificial flowers employ
ing much vaste aud manual dexterity,
are able to make in the best season
from eighty cents to a dollar per day,
but more than fitty per cent, never are
able to get beyond 30 or 40 cents. In
the provinces women working on nnder
wear and ready-made clothing are able
to make only 10 to 12 cents a day in
most cases and rarely as much as 20
cents.
M. IMorel. who prepared the sena
torial committee's report, went into the
question of how such women are able
to live. He cited one case of a woman
who made 19 cents a day. She paid 13
cents on an average for bread, cheese
and vegetables, leaving 6 cents a.day
for lodging and clothing.
Another case was that of a woman
who had a child to support. The moth
er began to sew at the machine at 3
o'clock in the morning and worked all
day and part of the night. She was
able to earn 25 cents a day, hut could
afford nothing more to eat* than soups.
The bill passed its first reading in
the Senate. It had already passed tho
Chamber in November, 1911.

ALLIED AEROPLANES BUSY
IN THE VICINITY OF SMYRNA
Paris, April 24, 5.15 A. M.—Allied
aeroplanes are showing great activity
over Smyrna, says a special dispatch
from Salouiki. A French aviator re
cently dropped two bombs on Fort. Kas
tro, killing several soldiers; another
sank a German ship lying in port and
a third struck the railroad station.
Observations made by aviators, ac
cording to tho dispatch, indicate that
the Turkish forces assigned for the de
fense of Smyrna number 35,000, They
occupy trenches extending from Vour

GERMANS DEFEAT ALLIES
AND THE LATTER ADMIT IT
London, April 24, 12.45 P. M.—The
War Office to-day gave out the follow
ing official note:
"The fight for the ground into
which the Germans penetrated between
Steenstraate and Langomarck'still con
tinues. The loss of this part of the
line laid bare the left of the Canadian
division, which was forced to fall back
in order to keep in touch with the
right of the neighboring troops.
'' In th** rear of the latter had been
mour Canadian 4.7.inch guns, which
thus passed into the hands of the ene
my. But some hours later the Cana
dians made a most brilliant and success
ful advance, recapturing these guns
and taking a considerable number of
German prisouers, including a colonel.
''The Canadians had many casual
ties, but their gallantry and determi
nation undoubtedly saved the situation.
Their conduct had been magnificent
throughout.
Ottawa, Ont.. April 24.—The 4.7
guns of the Canadian division, lost and
then recaptured at Ypres, are part of
the heavy artillery brigade. They are
45-pounders from Montreal, under the
1 command of Major Hall.
SEPARATE PEACE STORIES
FROM AUSTRIA ARE CURRENT
London, April 24, 2.10 A. M.—The
"Daily Mail's" Warsaw correspon
j dents send to their newspaper a long
statement from "a high authoritative
source," in which the possibility is
discussed of an early conclusion of a
separate peace with Austria.
"Although the air is full of such
stories, and the indications show that
Austria is desirous of an instant and
lasting peace," the statement says, "it
must be understood that if Austria
ceased to be a bellige: ent her position
as a neutral would mean that she
would be able to offer as great, if not
a greater, obstacle to the success of
Russian arms as if she remained a bel
ligerent.
"The Russian plan of campaign now
is definitely based on Grant's despised
American Civil war theory of a con
tinuous extension of battle line. It is
necessary that Russia possess herself,
temporarily at least, of the Austro-
German frontier line from Cracow
westward. Grant failed to hack his way
through, although he had the prepon
derance of five men to his opponent's
two, which is a greater preponderance
than we can hope to attain. Hut he
kept extending his line until one day
the foe failed to get him and was out
flanked.
LATE WARI-WS SUMMARY
*
The new battle in Belgium, which
has developed suddenly Into one of
the most important encounters in the
west since the present battle line was
formed, is being carried j>n by a re
lentless German attack and a deter
mined resistance on the part of the
British. It is now apparent that the
Germans have brought up heavy rein
forcements for this attack, and it is
suggested in London that their im
mediate objective is the capture of
Ypres, preliminary to another attempt
to break through to the English Chan
nel.
An official statement from the Brit
ish war office to-day says that the
British troops are still fighting for the
ground which they were compelled to
yield to the Germans. The loss of these
positions exposed the Canadian divi
sion, which was compelled to fall
back. The Canadians lost four pieces
of artillery, but lateT recaptured them
in a counter attack which, although
occasioning heavy losses is described
aa successful. Berlin is elated at the
German victory and newspapers there
say that It evens the score for the
British capture of Neuve Chapelle last
month.
The Finnish steamer Frack has been
sunk in the Baltic Sea by a German
submarine. The crew is believed to
