Fortunately, Dock Commisstoner Smith was on the bridge with me and saw tho whole| tion. “In Cuxhaven I dock land with the aid of a single tug in twenty minutes. We would have * gone right up to the pier at Hoboken yesterday, in spite of the ebb tide and the wind against us, if the tug had not shut us out. It is a sad commentary on the regulations that traffic can discommode and endanger a@ big steamer coming into port. It is Doesible that the tug was towing more freight than it could handle, but there ts plenty of water on the New York side of the river, a tug bad kept on that sid would have been no trouble.” “| don't think that the tugboat captain blo¢ked the way of the Vaterland purposely,” said Dock Commissioner Smith, “but that didn’t help matters. “In one place there is a depth of forty-five feet, while a little further mway there are but twenty-nine feet of water.

According to our investigators, nearly one million dollars was pent year in private public charity on the children of men who ran away. And this doesn’t include the amount spent by relatives in families that, even with the bread-winner phitan- thropic help, Twenty-five per cent. of the objlidren in the city orphan asylume are not orphans at all. Their fathers are living— but absent. ‘All this time the family deserter has been accepted as a necessary evil. Only within a few years has there been a law in New York making it a crime to desert one's own children. The city has gone on picking up the pieces, and unconsciously encouraging men of weak fibre to feel that if they ignored their plain duty ‘the city would be a little father to the kids.’ “This isn't good for the real fathers, and it certainly isn't good for the city’s pocketbook. So we're going to try a new way, the one which has worked so successfully for the United Hebrew Charities, “The sum of $4,300 hae been ed by the city One Ten Cent Box of The Famous Chocolate Laxative will regulate your bowels and relieve you of the miseries of Constipation If your stomach isn’t just right, if you have a bad taste in the mouth, coated ec, feel distressed after eating and have frequent headaches, just rf ‘and strengthen the nervous system.

Every Saturday or Sunday a list of the husbands who have published in some big New York newspaper, one which great masees of people read. Whenever possible, pictures of the missing men will be employed. It will be strange if any of them je not recognized by somebody. “A man’s picture will appear in the rogues’ gallery of husbands only as & last resource,” Mr, Goldstein inter; polated quickly. “In the past when a woman has complained to me that her husband has left hr, the case Proceeds according to the following stages: An investigator visits the woman in her home and probes the truth of the story. Letters are sent to the man’s relatives and to his union or his clubs to ascertain if his ab- sence is due to some perfectly legiti- mate cause. Then there are calls on his relatives and friends made by the investigator. Then follows a per- sonal letter published in the news- papers which use our copy. Finally, after every appeal has failed, his pic- ture 1s sent broadcast, in the hope that somebody will recognize it and give him away.” ATTEMPTS AT RECONCILIATION TO BE MADE, “But after the city has caught the deserting husband, what next?” I asked. “If he is locked up his wife and children will still be dependent upon society.” “Whenever possible there should be an attempt to reconcile the de- serter to his family. If he is solutely unwilling to live with them he should be made to feel force of hi 1 ebligation to support them. The children are better off when he ie working and earning money for them than when he le ehut up in prison and undergetng punishment for his sins. “There are times when a man ia obdurate and @ heavy fine or impris- onment te the only treatment to be- stow on htm. Each case of this sort undoubtedly has e salutary deterrent effect upon other men, But many members of the Desertion Bureau Committee believe that we should have @ compensation law in New York, by which the family of a de- aerter is provided for out of his earn- ings during his prison term, Then punishment may fall on the man with- out descending in equal weight on his wife and children.” And then the long-suffering wife need not utter those prayers for par- | dén which, the sentimentalist will tell you, “show the divinely forgiving na- ture of woman"—dut which in nine cases out of ten show the flour barre! .» empty. “The ality gallery of missing husbande will have a negative well as @ positive result,” co tinued Mr. Goldstein. “Not only will It help te bring back the huebande whe have flown, but it Te New City Bureau Being Planned to Run ‘‘Fadeaway’’ Father Who Deserts Children Monroe A, will be chown all over the country ae that ef a criminal who has left hie wife and children to starve, he will hesitate before laying himeel!f open to such widespread edium.

SOME OF THE CAU: OF FAM- ILY DESERTION. “According to my statistical in- Quiry, general tncompatability be- tween husband and wife is the most frequent cause,” replied the investi- gator. “Next comes another woman, then lack of employment, then gen- eral bad habits and Gnally laziness. “Whatever the cause, the problem of desertion is too big to be ignored. By this method of pillorying desert- ers in the public prints the city should be able to lay its hands on at least 60 or 60 per cent, of the cul- prits, besides scaring into virtue many on the verge of running away. The ultimate result will consist in saving the money of the taxpayers and in saving the morality of the individual home by keeping its members united.” —_—_ KING AND QUEEN ARE ASSAILED BY MILITANTS IN THEATRE (Continued from First Page.) box, apparently oblitvious of hubbub, In all, seven women and two male sympathiesrs were ejected from the theatre and arrested. Another mili- tant was taken into custody outside of the playhouse, They were imme- diately surrounded by a mob and the police reserves had difficulty in sav- ing them from violence, The woman who had chained her- self to her orchestra chair did the job so well that it finally was found necessary to unscrew the s¢at from the floor and carry it and the woman out of the theatre. During the pro- cess of loosening the chair, the wo- man was gagged to hush her cries, The miltant on the stage continued her wild tirade against the King until stage hands overpowered her and threw her bodily back into the or- chestra pit, where ushers selzed her and hustled her tnto the street. The disturbance began in the middle of the first act. A tow hours before the riot at the theatre, a woman armed with a loaded cane slashed five masterpieces in the National Gallery. Almost aimultaneously another woman damaged a picture hafiging in the Royal Academy of Art. Both women were arrested. The pictures damaged at the Na- tional Gallery were a “Madon: and Child With Infant Saints,” « “Port- ralt of Girolamo Malatini,” “Saints John and Christopher and the Dogs,” the a “Landscape With the Death of St, Peter” and ‘Christ's Agony in the Garde Apparently they were not irreparably injured, Tae palmumg eouned as tha Bayes ie | AND “THE DESeRTeR Wile Get Aarne PENALTY " i CONNICTION Academy was entitled “Prim: a," by George Clausen, a Rgyal Academ!- clan, The Academy was filled with a fashionable throng when a woman drew a butcher's cleaver which she had concealed in her clothing and dashed at the picture, in which she hacked several gashes, Attendants at once seized her, and it was only the presence of the police which pre- vented her from being roughly handled by the trate spectators, The National Gallery vandal left a trail of blood behind her from cuts she had sustained by the fall of the broken glass from the pictures.

The scenes at Bow Street Police Court when the women arrested dur- ing yesterday's battle were arraigned to-day surpassed in wildness all pre- vious efforts of the militant party, A male suffragist who somehow had found perch among the rafters blew ear-plercing variations of the “Marseillaise” on @ cornet ama then sounded the “Charge.” This was the signal for volleys of baga of flour and other missiles to be thrown at the Magistrate, Sir Johu Dickingon, Three policemen were required to prevent one of the prisoners from throwing herself over the rail of the enclosure, Another woman removed her shoe and hurled it at the head of the magistrate, who caught it deftly with his extended hand, When Sir John Dickinson suspend. ed the hearing and ordered the court to be cleared there was a free fight. Subsequently the women were again brought in and most of them bound over to keep the peace for six months, but they unanimously refused to find securities, Theophile C.
