Springfleld, Mass., Oct. 20.—Ameri- n dyes are as good as German and ver again necd this country be de- indent on Europe for the raw ma- Is, in the opinion of I. F. Stone { H. Gardner McKerrow, dve man- pturers who addressed the conven- bn of the national association of cot- In manufacturers at the closing ses- pns today. : The conclusions reached by both re that in the relatively short time e the war began the industry in country had been developed to a nt where the situation was no long- serious. Mr. Stone explained how e great demand for coal tar deriv- ves for explosives, with the high ices obtainable, made it possible to cover these on a commercially prof- ble basis and in quantities sufficient meet every need. The speakers agreed that the first lquisite of a permanent dyestuff in- stry was patriotic support by Amer- hn color consumers, based on a alization of interest and adequate iff protection with legislation to revent ‘“‘dumping’” here by German e makers after the war. It was still lcessary, Mr. McKerrow said, to com- t a characteristically German pro- anda that our dyes were not so od as foreign. While this was large- true in the first year after the hr, it was no longer so as concerned liable manufacturers, of whom there pre many. Mr. McKerrow urged the need of bndardization of colors and suggest- a conference of dye makers and e appointment of a permanent board expert color chemists and manu- turers for this purpose, and also to Ibitrate disputes and pass upon the grity of contracts, thus preventing jmass of litigation that at present s congesting court dockets SCHOOL CHILDREN ARE SICKLY others who value their own comfort welfare of thelr children, without & box of Moth ders for Child for season.

Beside a good trouncing at the hands of the fair female he paid a fine of $16 and costs. Mrs. Chanefskl testified that when she came home from night school last evening her board- er got into an argument with her and finally called her a name “that no respectable woman would stand.”” She said her husband did not appear to notice the insult so she took the law into her own hands and wrapping her knuckles into a hard bunch bounced them off Slep- | ski’s chin. Although out-maneuvered and outweighed, Slepski fought back and Mrs. Chefanski exposed various parts of her person to Judge Kirkham showing marks of the conflict. When called upon to testify the woman's husband said: “I saw he wasn't able to handle her and she was getting the best of him so I didn’t butt in. I let them go to it.” When arrested by Officer Gustave Hellberg, Slepski either by accident or design took a coat belonging to another boarder and when his own was brought out in exchange a loaded revolver was found in the pocket. He denied ownership of the weafon. Parents Taken to Task. In an attempt to clean up a certain neighborhood of incorrigible boys Truant Officer Charles Andrews has made several arrests during the past few days and now, as a better solu- tion, the court officials are taking the | truant boys' parents to task for their | children’s incorrigibility. Two boys | were placed on probation and their | parents given a severe reprimand and | Carmello Dominese, father of another boy who, the court learned, had been kept out of gchool intentionally and | been compelled to work for him, was ‘fined $15 and costs. The mother of another small boy, was also given a severe reprimand for sending her son out to steal coal. Rallroad Policeman Charles Grace testified that he found the boy yes- terday with at least fity pounds of coal he had stolen from a car con- signed to Landers, Frary' & Clark. ! The policeman also exhibited @ com- | plaint from several local coal deal- | ers, all of whom declared that chil- dren annoy them greatly. Among these complaints was a unique and convincing one from the City Coal & Wood company. The proprietor, | rather than personally ‘arresting the boys, had taken a number of chron- ological snapshots of them in' various phases of their thefts and these were submitted in evidence. Gun Toter Fined $7. Mrs, Annie Mondino was fined ‘$7 and costs for having a loaded re- volver in her possession when ar- rested by Sergeant Willlam C. Hart and Officer Mathew McGrath Tues- day night. The evidence showed that Simon Mondino, her brother-in-law, took the gun to a dance in Holmes & Hoffman’s hall and checked it with the hat and coat man. On leaving,the, dance he was tipped off that tho police were waitifg for him- and passed the gun to the girl, in whose possession it was found. Lawyer A. A. Greenberg, counsel for the ac- cused, explained that his client claimed to have pbtained the gun from a fellow countryman who had met him on the street and glven it to him. The only other case in. court today was that of Steve Gozda, charged with non-support. Mrs. Gozda tes- tified that she has six children and her husband expects her to feed them, clothe them, pay the rent, buy coal and do several other things all on ten cents per week, for that is ail he gives her, she said. The husband was placed on probation and the. pro- bation officer instructed to draw his wages and see that the family is given better care.

An- nouncement of the aims and scope: of the league was made by John C. Freund, of New York, at a meeting of the City Club. “Do you realize,” said Mr. Freund, “that there are in this country today, at a modest calculation, over 2,000,- 000 people, resourceful, intelligent, { cultured, who are earning a living in the musical world or in the musical industries? This country spends an- nually on music and for musical in- struments the astounding sum of $600,- 000,000 a year. But with all this, do not get the recognition that they should. . “The time now has come to put the entire muslcfll world, including the in- dustries, “the church music, the music of the people, the public school music, the music of the symphony orchestras, the music of the concert hall, on a sounder, indeed on a higher basis, by the establishment of a great league which shall centralize all the forces now working for. the uplift, which shall include not only the greatest among the music world and the music lovers ,but even the humblest, a league which I have reason to believe will number among its members within a few months hundreds of thousands who will work for the recognition of music as one of the great ennobling, civilizing forces in our human life. “The new league will work for the introduction of music into the public schools, with proper musical instru- ments, which today they lack. “To cause municipalities, like Balti- more, to devote some of their funds not alone for the sustenance of sym- phony orchestras, but for music for the peple in the parks and the piers in the summer, and in the school aud- itoriums in the winter. “To give encouragement to home talent, when it is worthy, they do in France, in Germany, Italy, even in industrial England. “To stand squarely against the ri- our as in diculous prejudice for everything for- eign, whether it has merit or not. “To encourage our composers by giving them a chance to be heard; to do something to curb the frauds and fakes in the music teaching world, and so reduce an evil which has long cried to Heaven for adjustment. “The League will urge musicians, music teachers, piano men, music dealers, to greatly increase their ap- propriations for advertising in the press, purely as a matter of self-inter- | est. “Finally the League will work for the establishment of a National Con- servatory of Music and for the estab- lishment of a Ministry of Fine Arts as an important and much needed factor in our National Government. They have such a ministry in every Euro- pean Capital. Shall we be behind the 0Old World JUST LIKE A MOVIE. Taq Fool Husband, Woman Has Twins By Way of Midwife. New York, Oct. 20.—Mrs. Kate C.

The aged widow appeared before Justice Van Sicklen and a jury in a suit brought by her nephew, Fred- erick W. Britton to test her com- petency to handle her estate, valued at $25,000. The court directed a ver- dict in her favor without calling her to the stand. Mrs. Madeleine Grace Witte, wife of Willlam H. Witte, a wealthy mar- ket gardener of Corona, is one of the twins testified to being a found- ling. She was in court when Mrs. Burris’ sister, Mrs. Georgianna Zeiner of No. 706 Leonard street, Brooklyn, said on the stand: “On Oct. 19, 1885, Mrs. Burris told me I was to call Dr. Burris to my home and keep him overnight. She told me she had arranged with a midwife to furnish her with twins, a boy and a girl. I asked her how she would fool her husband, and she replied that would be all right. ‘He doesn’t know anything anyhow.” Dr. Burris came to my home that night, and the next day my sister wired me ‘Bverything is all right.”” The boy died when less than a year old.
