In this great city, with its billions of wealth, its thousands of houses, its (ttlacos and hotels, its refuges and char itable institutions, several persons act uully were frozen to dentil. Others wore made so ill they died. The cold wave, in various ways took toll of sixteen lives. l'orhnpi the most popular plsra in town during tho forty-eight hours of ex ceptional cold was tho Municipal Lodg ing House ou tho Knst ltlvcr. There, upwards of 2,000 persons were carod for nightly. Among them were HO wo men, all with babies aud Binall children, Those 2,000 men and those mothers -ami their little ones bad no home at all.

At Municipul Lodging House. Tho Municipal Lodging House wns an interesting place during tho rush hours. It has acconiuodntiona for 1200 persons. Tho women and children and Tho boats aro not provided with bath ing facilities. But all comers at tho Lodging house are compelled to take shower baths. Whon tho applicants first apply, thoy aro registered aud given chocks, num bered, which they are told to hang round their nocks. They thon file through a dining room, where each mail is given a huge hunk of bread and a tin cup of steaming eoffeo. Tho men aro then sent to a disrobing room, where thoy aro compelled to shed all their clothing, During tho night their undergarments If they have any Bro fumigated. Men wearing celluloid col 'lars aro advised to put them inside their shoes to prevent spontaneous combus tion. The brass checks enable them to got back their belongings iu tho morn ing. Following tho disrobing, the men aro herded into tho bathroom, a huge apart ment In which there are scores of show ers. As they enter tho room an attend ant swats each man vigorously on the head with a club of soft wood, thickly coated with soft soap. Tho soap that sticks to the mini's hend is what he must use for his bath. The newcomers always dodge the club, thinking it will hurt them and the old-timers, used to the ropes inugh heartily at the novices. Each Has Shower Bath. At the showers each man is given a coarse scrubbing brush and told to use it. Attendants through tho room soo that the soap and brushes aro used thoroughly and any lodger reluctant to take to the water, brush ami soap, Is scrubbed by an attendant. Cleanliness is insisted upon in the Lodging House. Once clean, the men are marched through a small room for medical In fection, They are examined throughly and all ailments are given attention. Filch man Is thoroughly fumigated, If an applicant is Tumid to have an Injury or a serious disease, he Is at once sent to Ilellevuo Hospital for treatment, The bathing and inspection over, tho men are given night robes, In the shape of sleeping bags, of course, but clean ma terial, and sent to bed In huge dormi tories.

All Must Obey Rules. Kegular attendance at tho Lodging House does not give a mnn immunity from tho compulsory buthiiig and the medical inspection. Familinr appli cants, known from repeated appearance, are forced to obey all tho rules, the snmo as the newcomers. During the two coldest nights recent ly, tho homoloss men and women over flowed hoth the Lodging Ilouso and the boats and many men were sheltered in tho Morgue a block away. With the fragments of Anna Auinullor's body and tho remains of the tmnk mystery victim reposing on slabs In the refrigerators near by, men lay all over the floor in their sleeping bags and slept soundly, apparently undisturbed by their gruesomo surroundings.

ENGLAND CANNOT KICK ON LABOR EXCLUSION IIN1TKU I'llBHB I.KASBD WIUI0.1 Washington, Jan. 20. Labor depart ment officials disputed today the con tention Unit passage of Congressman Raker's Asiatic labor exclusion bill would bo an affront to England, be cause it discriminates, among others, agninst tho citizens of au English de pendency India. Indeed, it was pointed out, that some of England's colonies have laws more rigidly excluding Hindus than would the Raker bill. Attention was called to the fact that the Anglo-American treaty of 1815, settling all immigration differences, carries no favored nation clause, and, even if it did, the officials assorted, England could not domand greater consideration of its Hindu sub jects from America than its own colo nies accord. "Canada, Australia, Now Zealand and Booth Africa have passed stringent laws restricting the immigration of their fellow British subjects, the Hin dus," said Immigration Commissioner Ooneral Camiuetti, endorsing this labor department view, "and we have inves tigated and found no instance whore tho mother country hns protestod. "nonce we feel safe in saying that England will not object to any action tho United States may take to restrict Hindu immigration."

"HOTEL" FOR BEST One Hundred and Twenty Prisoners Who Have Perfect Record Will Ee Moved to Dormitory. HONOE SYSTEM HAS WORKED ' WELL IN OHIO PEISON Water Cures, Prison Stripes, Chain String lngs and Dungeon Types of Punishment Abolished. united mess leased wihe.1 Columbus, O., Jan. 26. Ohio's hu mane "make men" policy, now govern ing the most notorious state peniten tiary of the past in the United States, will advance another step within a few days when Warden P. E. Thoma9, crim inologist, non-political appointee and humanity expert will open his "hotel" for "perfect record" prisoners. The hotel for such it will be will not be surrounded by steel bars. Far from the system of the past, it will embrace an innovation never before at tempted. One hundred and twenty burglars, yeggs, porch climbers, pickpockets, "had men," embezzlers and plain thieves with "clean records" will be removed from their cells to a roomy (well ventilated dormitory. I Every one of them will sleep at night in a eoimortaftio iron uca 01 me nos- pital type; will have a locker; a bag; roomy rocking chair, a plain oak stand; and an electric drop light. A prison bar won't bo in sight. After the day's work is done and the prisoner disrobes for the night he will neatly crenso his gray regulation trousers; hang his coat on a hanger and la"e the apparel in a steel locker built for tho purpose. On an upper shelf he will find his clean clothing nnd in a lower compartment ho may deposit his shoes and draw forth a pair of bed room slippers, seat him self in a big rocking chair, light his pipo and under tho rays of his adjust able electric, lamp scan the day's news from tho evening paper. Sueh is the idea of Warden Thomas who has advanced radical theories on prison reform. He's put some three hundred prisonors outside prison wallB without guards "on thoir honor;" he's abolishod the hideous prison stripes, the water cures, chain stringings and dun geon types of punishment. He has worked for over a year on the theory that kindness in most cases ex orcised on mon with full stomachs is tho best producer of discipline, and now he's going to make a real incentive for behavior anions his wards. The dormitory is that incentive. From the windows of this "hotel the wards may look upon the scene of hundreds of inhuman, stuffy cells in which men have lived and died. The same scene is that fiom which General John Morgan, the famous old Confed erato leader with a handful of officers dug their way to liberty, a little over fifty-one years ago. Just below thoro is a cell in which All Jennings, once noted train robber, since reformed, spont years. Just across tho way is the prison ho pital where Madame De Vcro, the fa mous Cassie Chadwick died aftor the close of 0110 of tho most noted swindling records in history. Scores of other noted prisoners were housed Bnd many died in tho building which was erected and has since been remodeled. Only the perfoct record men who will eniny the comforts of the new "hotel and Warden Thomas' waiting list is jammed. HOW YOU HAY THROW AWiY YOUR GLASSES The statement It made that thou sands wear eyeglasses who do tot real ly need thorn. If you are one of these unfortunates, then those glasses may bo ruining your eyee instead of helping them. Thousands who wear these "win dowt" may prove for themselves that the) can dispense with g'asscs if the will got the following proscription fill ed at once. Go to any active drug store and get a bottlo of Optoma, fill a two-ounce bottle with water and drop in one Optoma tablet With this harm less liquid solution bathe the eyes two to four times daily and you are like ly to be astonished at the results right from the start Many who have been told that they have astigmatism, eye strain, cataract, sore eyelids, woak eyes, conjunctive and other eye dis orders, report wonderful benefits from the uso of this free proscription. Get this prescription filled and use It; you may so strengthen your eye that glass es will not be necessary. Thousands who are blind or nearly so, or who wear glasses would never have required them if they had cared for their eye in time. Save your eyes before it Is too late! Do not become one of these victims of neglect. Eye-glasse ar only like crutches and very few year they must be changed to fit the ever Increas ing weakened condition, so better c if yoo can, like many others, get clear, healthy, strong magnetic eye through tat prescription her given. NIGTHTNGA1E TAX DEOPPED. UNITED PBESS L1ASED WIRE. Berlin, Jan. 26. The city of Pots dam, the "Kaiser's borough," dropped Germany's most unique tax a tax of $l.o0 on every nightingale in captivity within Potsdam. This tax has been col lected ever since Frederick the Great ordered it levied because he objected to the nightingales in his park being trapped and placed in cages. The Pots dam authorities decided to leave the law unrepealed on the city's statutes out of honor to Frederick but not to enforce it any longer. TO RECONSTRUCT FLORENCE. UNITED PBESS LEASED Willi. Florence, Jan. 26. Plans were pre sented to the city council today for the reconstruction of Florence just as it was at the time Dante wrote the Di vine Comedy. It is planned to bring about the change as one of the means of celebrating the Dante centenary in 1921. The plans for the celebration in clude the bringing together of all the statuary and pictures in the world that have been inspired by Dante's poetry. The plans, however, aro being vigorous ly opposed by the Italian Futurists who want the city modernized instead of rebuilt as it was in the days of Dante. FEMINIST VICTORY IN ITALY.
