-Jjiildrtn who arrived in New York on Sat
uor*y to thc accompaniment of flying flag?
'an-l rousing cheer?, will go back to her
hume to-day. There will be no flags and
no cheers.
The Lawrence Police Department called
tiic New York Detective Bureau on the
telephone yesterday and asked that they
endeavor t?.? find Mary Sullivan, a ten-year
old girl ?Iw disappeared from her home
on ?Saturday morning.
Detective James Murphy, of the East ."??th
ftitct station, was ordered to take charge
?>I the ea?e. ana he found that Mary Sulli?
van ?*?"? among the children who were dis
tributed from the Labor Temple on Satur
,'ay night.
National lines were ?train-Kl and soma
? times broken in that distribution, but the
,, detective was a little bit surprleed to find
th?t Ihe Sullivan girl had been sent to the
home of Trank Polarevetzky, at No. ?3S
Weit !tf*I st reft.
Murphy went to the Polarevetiky home
?nd Iramed that Mary wa? very well con?
tent with her new surroundings. The child
bad written a letter to her father, Timothy
Sullivan, presenting the advantages of
New York over Lawrence, but when be
vas Informed by the detective bureau that
his daughter had been found he telegraphed
that he would come to New York to bring
her hack.
The girl explained that she had gone to
IW station to s<** the departure of some of
her friends, but that when the train start?
ed before she had a chance to get off she
Mj? weil content and did not reveal herself
is an accidental passenger.
* Henri Llndwlrth. of the Industrial Work?
ers of the World, who was one of the com?
mit'.*?' which took charge of the children
en the trip from ,I?awrence, said that he
ronnted th?5 members of the partly shortly
after the train left, and discovered that
there was on? more than he had on hi? list.
Little Girl Wesn't Tagged.
Upon a closer examination he found one
girl who tt?s not tagged with her name
?nd address like ber fellows.
Suspecting "a capitalistic plot of on?
kind or another." be found out from the
trirl It name and tagged her like the r*st.
Thus M was that Mary Sullivan went to
the home of the Polarevetsky?.
The tra/isfer of th? children of strikers
from one city to another, a move never i?e
fore attempted in a labor dispute in this
country, may In the present instance be
undertaken on a scale which will mak? if
unique In the labor annals of the world.
If the present plan? are carried out. no
less than one thousand children will hw
brought to New- York, and it is possible
that other? may be ?ent to Boston and
tewns In the neighborhood of Lawrence.
, The one hundred and fifty children who
?rriverj on Saturday were distributed in
minety homes. Twelve hundre?l applicants
kemain to be satisfied, and many other?
re Mkely to come forward when another
rsi-ty of children Is brought.
It is planned to brine the next consign?
ment on Saturday. Those who have taken
the children hae placed no limit on the
length of their guardian-ship, ex?ept that
it shall terminate when the strike in U*?
.renre cea-ses. No one lir.s sought to quaM
f I le terms of this agreement in any
manner.
Committee Inspect? Home?.
The committee in charge of the children
??ill investigate every home to-day to
make certain that Its wards have been
placed in comfortable surrounding?, on
,yie\i BatOT-Sey a maar meeting and enter
?lnment will be held, with the children of
awrence as guests.
2 Miss ?'arrie Zaikaner, a member of the
"?ommlttee, look occasion yesterday to
denv that the children would be exploited
In any manner to secure fund? for the
strike.
If the children of Lawrence remain in
New fork more than a week It will be
necessary to send them to school. They
will probably be sent to the public school?.
I ? ?gh some of their guardians favor the
Kran? is. o Ferrer Association, a school of
??.'ialisti' lanings.
Henri l.indwirth and Elizabeth ('ur)ey
Kl.uin will go to I ?awrence to-day to ar
tAi;e.' for the transfer of another body of
Inildien. Lindwirtb, in commenting on
Ondition? in Lawrence, nal?!: "The various
a??dualities are organised on a communis?
tic basis, each group having Its own
Jhrhen. We ?ted that the French, the
and the Italian groups are anxious
to ?end their children to New York, but
the Gtrmans, who are more ?killed labor?
er?- ami higher paid, have beep less ready.
'We hop? to convince them that the
ni'^e is for strike efficiency. There la no
?>f funds at present, for contributions
have b'cp coming into the strike commit?
tee rapidly."
At the office of "The Call." the New
V'jiI: daily Soialist paper, it was said
last night that letters from persons who
were anxious to take charge of strike chil- ?
?Ir. ;i were still coming in large hatches. !
y* spirit of all the letter? was the same
It was t.ie spirit of the applicant who
lote: "We are Jew?, and we were driven
>m Rtissia, but send us a child, Jew or
??riatlaii. or of any religion or any color,
an.I we will ?are for It in the name of the
am o clase ?evolution."
?s? who ha\e applied are mostly the
nasseeeors of large famllie?. but in even
the largest of ?lieue groups there seem?
to he a feeling that there Is room for one
if.it he a strike child from Law?

The particular induatries to be af?

and at tbe sajpe time to supply the ever

Tbe new material has been tested here

Henry Solomon of the State Prison Com?
mission.
Situe the last inspection." says tbe
report, "a new warden was appointed
for this prison?Mr. Johnson?and he
seems t?. be quite well liked, as tbe popu?
lation since his arrival has almost
doubled, there being on the day of my
visit twenty-two prisoners. He is anx?
ious for more, and would like my former j
recommendation put in force?namely.
that all federal prisoners who are now
confined In the Tombs be sent there in?
stead. This would reduce the congestion
of the Tomba, which is greatly desired.
There are thirty-two cells In this prison,
and it would be very advisable if this
suggestion were carried Into effect."

LECTURES ON MARK
Series of Them Arranged for the
Rockefeller Bible Class.
COURT HEARING RECALLED
Member of Class Recently Up on
a Charge of Having Beaten
His Wife.
A prominent member of the Bible clfiss
presided over by John I). Rockefeller, jr.,
?it ?he Fifth Avenue Baptist Church wa
recer.tly haled into a police cour* on the
ch-.rge of beating his wife. Yesterday at
the meeting of the Rockefeller clasa. held
in the Sunday school room of the church,
it was announced that a series of fifteen
belt-res, designated as "special," would be
ghen for the lieneflt of the class, begln
r.ii*?-,' on February 1?~. These lectures will
be grouped under the general head "On
Facts Necessary To Be Known About En?
gagement and Marriage.''
The man who passed around the printed
announcements regarding the lectures made
no comment on the particular significance
of such a series, following so sharply on
? he heels of the police court appearance
O? one of the Bible class members for wife
beating. No spoken word was dropped
b-, any member of the class that would
gli- an indication of the impression cre?
ated by the announcement. Many of* the
?Sunday school scholars, however, wore ex
ir???lve grins, which, though silent, spoke
louder than words.
It could not be learned last night whether
the series of lectures Is relied upon to cor
rect the domestic manners of such of the
??lass as are married or soon expect to be,
but th? fact that one of the class had only
recently faced a magistrate on the com?
plaint of his wife still lingered In the minds
of many. <
As an instance of the broad instructive
Qualities embraced In the series, some of
the titles of the lectures are enlightening.
One of the talks will be called 'The Eco?
nomical Basis of Marriage; What It Coats."
Another will deal with the problem, "What
a Man's Income Should Be; Rents In New
York."
Still another talk will deal with the
query, "What Dangers Face Him If He
Marries with Only Enough for One?" No
word Is said as to what dangers the wife
must face under similar circumstances; but
then, as it Is pointed out, these lectures
are exclusively for men.
A lecture that promises to be of exceed?
ing Interest has to do with "What Things
Has a Wife a Right to Demand of the
Mon?" Nothing is said here, either, as to
whether the wife has the right, to demand
that her husband shall not beat her.
A talk that holds forth great promise to
the members of the class, and one which
will be eagerly listened to, no doubt, will
h.T.e to do with the answer to the QOee?
tlon. "Why the Mom? Shoulil I'.c Away
from Relatives, if Possible." Many of the
Sunday school students feel that they could
answer the question in the wo-ds, "Mcther
ln-law," but they will be attentive listen?
ers, nevertheleea
In discussing marriage with his Bible
class on one occasion, John D. Rockefeller,
Jr.. said: "?'et married M soon as possible,
hut be sur?? to get a wife who shares your
-lews of life. A young man should take
great care In choosing n wife, as she can
make or mar his career."
