decided to go to Buffalo, and topped off at Detroit to take a boat to Fuffalo. "While we were in Detroit, he went to tee an aunt and she shamed him by asking about his wife and new baby, and he made, up his mind to go back home. He wanted to leave me In a small caty. where it would he safer and whero he could come and visit me whenever he wanted to. We went to Battle Creek, but did not like It there, and went to Kalamazoo. He gave me a list of attorneys where I was to try ar.d i?et work. He wanted me to work for aji attorney so that I could learn law and help him out. Ho said there was a poor business college In Kalamazoo and that attorney would pay any price for a good stenographer. He pave me $30 and went to South IJend. and found out from that he was wanted for taking me away. "I got a long distance call from him from Nlles telling me to pack ar.d get ready to leave and meet him at the station. I met him. but instead of leaving Kalamazoo we went to a bearding house. He said that when he got through talking to me I would be willing to do what he asked. He then told me they wanted me to come back to South Ilend and clear his name. Of course, this made me angry to think that he would want me to lie to clear his name, without any regard for my own reputation, and I refused. Iiribcd Omeor. "We started for Dondon. Ont., (Can.) and got ac far as Windsor where wo were taken off the train by immigrant officern and told that there was a warrant for us in Wind-' sor and In Detroit. The immigrant officer took tis to the police station where by crooked work Clark got him to let us go. They sent me back on the train and he took Clark to the ferry In a private auto. We met at the station In Detroit and went to Jackson, where the officer had told us to go. He did not do anything In Jackson. "From there we went to Sandusky where he got hold of a lot of fountain pens, two watches, a gold and silver one, and a lot of microscopes he fold in a hospital at Cleveland. He came home one night with a liberty bond which he said he had pot at a loan company. When we opened it we found Insurance papers and other legal papers, which he threw Into the alley. He would always leave me in the large cities and go to the smaller ores to work, leavlnp In the morning and coming back In the afternoon. "He went to Ravenna and got $50 from an office. He said he saw a sign saying 'out, will return at 3 and he got Into the office with a key. We then left for Youngstown and have been here ever since. To the nest of my knowledge he did rot work in Younpstcwn, for he always left in the morning and came back In the afternoon. He had a hyperdermic syringe, which he bought in Cleveland and tjae ether he got in Younjrptov.'n." Tn nswer to a que.rtion about the narcotics he Is alleged to have taken here he replied: "All I know about 'done' is that he said he got it in a doctor's office and laughed and said that the doctor would have- to a'ceount for It. I remember it was morphine. Tie bought some cigaret with cork tips (I was with him) and took some of the tobacco out and powdere 1 the morphine and put it in and put these cigarets on one side of hb; case and the good ones on the other, saying he was going to use it and see how It worked. There was ome other kind which he told mo was what dentists used to deaden pain when they extract teeth. I had a stick pin a cameo with a store In it. I don't know whether It was a diamond or not, and it has disappeared. I guess he pawned it. When we were arrested at Windsor the immigration officer took a gun and dagger from him.

to Further Facie Work in Movement. Abraham Rpstein. for three years the director of the Pennsylvania Commission to Investigate old As? Pensions and tho author of an authoritative work upon th- subject. J was securt I by I Yank K. Hering on We-dnesday to coro. to this city and j assist in the national program of I education upon this subject He is the first of a gro.:; of lead ers who will be 1 rou-ht here by Mr. Hering to participate in the movelaws in the industrial states. Mr. Fpstejn is a graduate of the lniersitv of Pennsylvania and has -b -9 - ' v.". v . " VV -X ... . -. .,, . . . ' .V ::i y---v.o.:-: A Abraluim 1'itoin made an exhaustive srtudy of the subject. He was selecteS by Gov. Sproul to head the work done in Pennsylvania in that direction and in this position gathered some very significant facts concerning dependency in old asre. AutIiorit i Question His latest work, 'Facing Old Age,' is considered an authority on this question in this c'untry and has attracted wide attention from students ot sociology anl the modern trend of industry. "I am more than glal to join the movement inaugurated by the Ragles under tho direction of Mr. He-ring." said Mr. Epstein yesterday. "The nectss-ity of such laws Is most apparent to those vho have made a study of modern conditions and who know of the tremendous waste that i.s due to a lack of legislation and provisions of this sort. "As director of the investigations in Pennsylvania I was able to make a specific study of over 40,000 individual cases and to secure nation wide data on this question. "Our people have not yet awakened to the fact that of the 40,000,000 men and women who have passed the age of 6( In this nation, nearly half are dependent pon some form of public or private charity and a very large percentage of the rest are dependent upon their children. "Three-fourths of all old people in poor houses are without children or family connections, in itself strong evidence of th? strencth of family ties. Rut when you delve for facts of some of th-? others, you find a pressing social problem. "When sons Mid daughters do provide for fheir parents who have p;issed the productive age and who are dependents in greater or lesser degree a very large percentage are forced to choose between this aid to their parents and the sacrifice of the interests, in their own children. "We discovered in Pennsylvania that in a very large number of cases of thiskind. the children were withdrawn from schools and forced to work at a very early age and thus is created a vicious circle that is not good for the nition or for the race. More Ixonnrnleal Way. "The system of Old Age Pensions is not only a necessary stop in the direction of more humane methods but it is really a more economical way of handlirg this problem. Our researches showed that the average co.at of keeping an aged person in en alma house was above $25 a month and that in most cases, this was split, dollar for dollar, between maintenance and the e-ssential overhead. "We have not changed our poor laws ir. half a century. Few states have changed thorn i:i 75 years and yet in this timo the entire social and industrial fabric has been removed. "We are stib sendincr our dependents to charitable institutions which create in the r.ilnds of men and women a fear and a horror of at;e. That far and horror loes not make for thrift an i savings, for these are made impossih! very often through sickne---. misfortune and unemployment. What it really does Is to create- in the mind.' of men in Industry the constant horror of spending their last .lays away from families, r.ot a state of mind that makes for either contentment or for elficier.cy. Will Remove Pear. "The Old Ace Pension will change this by rernoy.ng th fc-ar and banishing that unrest which is having at present some remurkable symptomi:i son1.:- industries." Mr. Epstein will come- to this city Sept. 1 to m ike It his permanent residence .luring the campaign just starting in th i Eag'.e.s fraternity to secure the pass. ice of such laws. At k-at five state legislatures will pass, upon the question this winter and in many others strong effort.-; will be made in state legislatures. A one indication of the strength of the movement, word was receive-1 .by Mr. Hering Wedne-sday that Wendell P. Th.ore. a very wealthy manufacturer of Mas-achus'-tbs, had announced his candidacy for governor of that state on the sir.g- platform of the passag" of auch a law.
