Clergyman Sees Danger to Na
tion in Its Spread.
The n^v Dr. William Carter, in his morn
ms sermon yesterday at the Madison Ave
nue Reformed Church declared that irrev
'vrwrfl and blasphemy have emptied the
churches and are threatening to wreck the
nation.
"This hi a light, flippant and frivolous
age.*' said Dr. Carter, in the course of his
address, "and the stream of blasphemy
a".i profanity is flowing in a wide channel.
It enters into social relations as well as
business relations, and into the very home,
decline everything and every one with
whom it comes in contact.
"I quote from an expert investigator
i^that in the schools to-day profanity is mi
i creasing among ail classes of children ann
I in all parts of the country. It presents a
serioas problem for both the, present and
the future. The fact that our democratic
scheme of life levels downward as- wen as
upward is one ot the underlying causes.
We are not segregated in classes like
peoples of otner nations. The stable boy
and boy of upper stratum mingle together.
Corruption downward sets in. and the only
hope hi that the poll upward will outpull
those who drag downward.
'"The practice of American slang— which
iis so universal— 13 but a cowardly make
shift for blasphemy. Those who try to go
as near as possible to the edge of the
ragged line separating slang from blas
l phemy and Irreverence are in peril. We
j should say to our young people: 'Do not
: pec how near you can go to the ragsed line,
between s lane and blasphemy, but how far
■ away you can stay.' "
Dr. Carter suggested a remedy for poor
attendance on night sen • a of New York
churches. He proposed that the young
people's meetings be changed from the
evening to the afternoon on Sunday, and
that on Sunday nights ten or twelve
churches in each community unite in in
terdenominational evangelistic gospel ser
vices, with combined choirs, congregations
and pastors, with a crowded church rather
than a handful in each church.

NEW YORK SLUMS THE WORST.
Tenement House Commissioner Tells of
Conditions Here.
John J. Marphy. Mayor Gaynor's new
Tenement House Commissioner, addressed
the Civic Forum of the Church of the Mes
siah, Park avenue and S4th street, yester
day at "noon. He said that the press of the
city had shown an admirable spirit of co
operation by aklir.tr in the prevention of
bad legislation, and that he expected to
get its farther aid in the future.. He added .
"Squalor and filth oJia racterize the slums
everywhere, but nowhere are rack renting
overcrowding and congestion so great as
here. Ten per cent of our tenements are of
the discredited dumbbell style, which allow
neither light nor air to sanify the air their
tenants must breathe. Over one hundred
thousand dark rooms still exist, absolutely
-ivindowless. One-quarter of our population
have no bathrooms nor private toilets in
their homes. In .-pie of the rontinuou?
warfare waged against them by the depart
ment, even thousand school sinks still
remain a standing threat of infection to
densely settled communities."

NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBI M;, MONOVV, FEBRUARY 2t 1010.
CLINCH RLEF CASE
AIM OF PROSEC TTOF.
Now Seeks Indictments for
Health Laic Violation*.
The presentation of the indictments f° r
conspiracy against the directors of the
National Packing Company by the Hudson
County (K. .T. > Grand Jury -will be de
ferred from Wednesday until next Friday-
The reason for the change Is that addi
tional indictments may be. handed up f° r
violating health laws.
The indictment for conspiracy allege*
that the company stored foodstuff? to re
duce the supply, increase the demand and
enable It to boost the prices. Prosecutor
Garven apparently believes that a stronger
case would develop from a transgression
of the health laws and would result In
legislation that would stop the keeping
of foodstuffs for a. longer period than a
few months, for the investigation dis
closed that poultry had been kept in stor
age for seven years and longer.
The Prosecutor's conclusion is baaed on
tbe analyses of Dr. George E. McLaughlin.
the microscopist and bacteriologist, of Jer
sey City, who was a witness before the
grand jury. He discovered germs in poul
try, meats and other foodstuffs taken from
cold storage that he regards at least as
unwholesome.
Bo important was this evidence that As
sistant Prosecutor Vickers has for several
weeks devoted his time almost exclusively
with Dr. Mclaughlin to the development
of a satisfactory case for prosecution, for
it was realized that it must be strong and
convincing,- a.>» the company would un
doubtedly meet it with an army of expert
chemists to testify that cold storage food
products, like wine, improve with age.
The evidence was submitted to the State
Board of Health, and It promised its co
operation, but the Prosecutor i? perturbed
over its apparent dilatory action, as an
investigation of the cold storage plants by
the state health officials was suggested,
and the Prosecutor fears if it is not done
forthwith that the company will move the
aged articles In storage to warehouses out
side the jurisdiction of t!ie New Jersey
courts and the tardy state officers will in
stitute their inquiry too late.
The Prosecutor did not stop with the
state board. He desired that the national
health officers should confirm the findings
of Dr. McLaughlin. The bacteriologist and
Assistant Prosecutor Vickers went to
Washington on Friday night and spent the
entire day Saturday in conferences with.
Dr. Wylie. chief chemist of the Department
of Agriculture, and others. They returned
to Jersey City last night on the Congres
sional Limited train. They were reticent.
Mr. Vickers stated that in the interest
of the state he could not divulge what had
occurred at the capital, but he would say
that their trip had been satisfactory; and
this led to the deduction that" Dr. Mc-
Laughlin's conclusions had been confirmed.
The assistant prosecutor said they spent
several hours with Dr. Wylie and the vari
ous heads of departments and had a long,
busy day
Dr. McLaughlin also was uncommuni
cative concerning his visit to Washington,
as well as concerning: his germ discovery.
■When asked if it was true, as reported,
that cold storage meat and poultry are
subjected to a chemical bath or treatment
to give them an appearance of having been
killed recently, be replied: '-No; but I saw
old -age turkeys thai had been given a
dab of fresh blood on the neck to suggest
that they had newly passed I rough the
slaughter process."
All he would say about their trip to
Washington was that It had been pleasant.
The Hudson County Grand Jury will have
a session on Wednesday and continue the
inquiry about the endangering of health
by keeping food products frozen too long.
Dr. McLaughlin is- expected to be a wit
ness .and tell something about his confer
ences with the federal and state health
officers.
Prosecutor <~;arven last night intimated
that there would be something new to
make public In a few day:-, probably mean
ing there would be supplementary indict
ments.
FLEADS FOR CHILD ACTORS.
Francis Wilson Opposes Massachusetts
Labor Law.
Boston. Feb. 30l— Francis Wilson, now ap
pearing at the- Criterion Theatre, New York,
in the play 'The Bachelor's Baby," which
depends for its performance on the employ
ment of child actress^:?, addressed a largo
audience in the Hollis Street Theatre to
nisht on the injustice of the recent iaw
p H .« ? e,i hv the Massachusetts Legislature
forbidding children not only to work in
factories, but to accept any kind of employ
ment under the -~ of sixteen.
Mr. Wilson was Introduced by Judge
Bracket t, of th' Massachusetts bar. and
was followed by J. E. Dodson. who spok 1^
briefly on the same subject and in accord
with Mr. Wilson's point of view.
Mr. Wilsons address was a review of th°
whole subject of child actors. Before he
f.n'shed the actor declared that the Massa
chusetts law not only deprived children of
one of their principal opportunities in life,
but that if the lav. had always bepn m
operation the theatre's hall of fame would
not contain a single notable name. Mr.
Wilson demonstrated by record? that every
brilliant actor known to the modern stage
began actinsr as a child. He cited a list A '
names that began with Oarrick. continued
through Macready, Terry. Rachel and
Maude Adams, and ended with Francis
Wilson. In parts of his address Mr. Wilson
did not hesitate to criticise philanthropists
who are behind the new Massachusetts
child labor law.
Mr. Wilson's speech is the culmination of
an agitation that is being vigorously
worked up by all theatrical managers with
interests in Massachusetts toward the re
peal of this law. which will prevent Bos
ton or any Massachusetts city from seeing;
such plays as "A Midsummer Night's
Dream." '"Richard 111.- -Peter Pan." or
Mr. Wilson's own play. -'The Bachelor's
Baby." Beside* the mass meeting held at
the Hollis Street Theatre to-night, a pe
tition, written by Mr. Wilson and already
signed by thousands of citizens, is being
circulated throughout the commonwealth,
for final presentation fore the legis
lature.

GLEANINGS.
Everytntn?: big seems to be in style this
season. Not only ar-- hats e'.lips': th<»
wearers, but jewelry '.? reaching enormous
proportions. Chains are longer a.nd heavie
than they ever were; old-fashioned, deeply
set ring? and cameos are back in all their
former glory. Belt buckles average from '-
to »5 inches in width, and collar pins look
like athletic medals Rings are worn hi
profusion, covering all the available space
OR the hand, and bracelets are donned
above the elbow as well as at the wrist.
In fact. •* the modern woman chooses, sh^

The
Breakfast
Question
WASHINGTON
Washington carved a consti
tution out of chaos.
He also bequeathed to his
countrymen this advice:
"To be prepared for war is
one of the most effectual means
of preserving peace."
That is an elaboration of the
wisdom which says prevention
is better than cure
" To award a building contract
to the lowest bidder, and to
throw all other considerations
to the winds, is often a dan
gerous expedient.
Owners should profit by the
experience of others.
Merit in the selection of a
contractor corresponds to
prevention m the proverb!

the loose photographs that slip and s'ida

too. so hat can be done- with them? From
a neat young college girl comes the :*
gestion of a photo picture. Her idea is to
loosen all MM photos from their cards by
soaking them for a while hi clear, cold
water; then drying them out between blot
ters, and finally pasting with photograph
er's glue on one big new piece of card
board about IS by -- inches in size. Car*
and ingenuity are necessary hi order to
jret all the photographs one wants into the
given space, but with overlapping, cotßssj
into ovals and other shapes this i< quit*
possible Then the entire "canvas" sho'il<i
be covered with glass, framed and hang
on the wall with the other pictures.
