fathb:u uses ax to
slay entire family
New York, Dec. 13. A strange and
horrible tragedy was discovered lato
yesterday afternoon In the home of
Mason R. Strong, an architect and
structural engineer at No. 237 Lexing
ton avenue, Passlc, N. J., one of the
finest residential parts of that city.
Crazed by misfortune. Strong had
attempted to destroy his entire family,
Including himself, some time Tues
day night. Creeping through hi home
at the dead of night when his wife and
five children were aslep In their beds,
the man had dealt them terrific blows
with an axe and then had 4akeu his
own life by cutting his throat with a
fnzor.
HI wife was found dead in one
room, his sixteen-year-old daughter,
Elizabeth, In another. He himself was
dead In the bathroom.
The list may yet total four dead, for
his only son, Nathaniel, twelve, is in
the Passic general hospital with only
a slight hope of recovery. Two other
children Nina, fourteen, and Susan
na, nine are also In the hospital, dis
figured. They probably will live.'
New York, Dec 13. Health Com
missioner Copeland reports that 30
per cent of the children of this city are
undernourished and made public for
the first time a survey conducted by
his department of the children in 33
selected public schools in Manhattan
"In these schools we found 4500 chil
dren so undernourished as to need med
ical care," said Dr. Copeland. "Of
the 10,000 we examined the average
consumption of milk was 1 cups a
day. In spite of the fact that my
statemens have irritated Mr. Horton. I
insist that 300.000 under-nourished
children are ready to become victims
of tuberculosis. We must provide milk
at a lower price for these children or
the ravages Of tuberculosis will in
crease. In my opinion It would DC
Better rpr New York City to engage in
a crusade and spend money to provide
