~ Sfaal-

Van Oien and SekeIken, the wholesale
grocers, Of Hoboken, are looking for Gus
Schaeffer, who was a driver for them up to
about two weeks ago. On Monday, April
16, Schaeffer delivered a quantity Of goods
and collected SIP for the same, of which he
never. made any return to his employers.
The next day he did not appear at the store
and has been missing ever since. Schaeffer
resided at No. 1928 Palisade avenue with his
wife and four children, but when a JERSEY
CITY NEWS reporter called at that address
this morning he was informed that the family
decamped a week ago yesterday without
telling anyone where they. were going.
Schaeffer's children range all the way from
eighteen months to eight years, and it is said
there was considerable sickness in the family
and that he was. very poor. Mr.. Segelken
said this morning hat be would not prose-
cuse Schaefer, but would never recommend
the man. He had only been with him two
months previous to the theft. Schaeffer is
supposed to be in New York. but his exact
whereabouts is unknown.

Statistics From the Report of Labor
Commissioned Wright.

Commissioners Wright.
WASHINGTON, May 8, 1sg4.-Among the
documents transmitted to Congress yester-
day by the President was the ninth annual
report of the Commissioner of Labor, Car
roll d. Wright, relating to the building and
loan associations, which has some special in
terest in connection with the income tax dis
cussion. The commissioner says that the
past year has been engaged upon two special
reports, one relating to the housing of labor
and the other to the social statistics of cities,
an investigation ordered by Congress.
These, he says, will be forwarded in q few
weeks. The field force of the department is
now at work collecting statistics relating to
strikes and 1ockouts, which the commissioner
thinks will be included in the next annual
report which will bring the record of strikes
and lockouts down to June, 1894, inclusive.
The first building and loan association or
ganized in this country was at Frankford, a
suburb of Philadelphia, january 8, 1881.
ssSome States, y says the report, bring their
building and loan associations under the
same general supervision of law thrown
around savings banks. New York, Massa-
some other States require such associations
to make annual returns in the same manner
as savings banks" s
One Of the most interesting facts shown
by the report relates to the age of the asso-
Citations. While building and loan assccia-
tions had their birth from 1910 to 1850, the
report shows that the average age of all the
associations is only a little over SIX years. The
total number of building associations In the
United States is 5,83S. Pennsylvania has
the largest number, 1,7o9; Ohio next. 72l;
then Illinois, $3.50; Indiana, s36; New York,
4lS; Missouri. s66; New Jersey, 2ss, and
Maryland, 24O.
In the New England States. Massachusetts,
has 115; Connecticut, Is; Maine, 20; New
Hampshire II. There are no returns from
Vermont. g,
The net assests Of the building societies all
over the country exceeds four hundred and
fifty million dollars. There profits are esti-
claimed they have helped to build over four
hundred thousand houses.

PRETTY ANNIE KAMPF.
Writ of Error Saves Hcr From State
Est1Snn $3.50

Annie Kampf, of Brooklyn, who was re-
Gently convicted of picking pockets and sem
fenced to a term of two and one-half years
at State Prison, was taken to Trenton yes
terday by Sheriff Toffey. When the Sheriff
and his prisoner alighted from the train
they were met by Counsellor Warren
Dixon, who served on Sheriff Toffey a writ
of error in the case.
The Sheriff then turned the girl over to
Deputy Sheriff Mitchell, who brought her
back to the County jail, where she now is.
There has been raised a question as to the
right of the Sheriff to return the prisoner to
the jail, for during the ballot box cases
Judge Lippincott rendered q decision that
when prisoners are sentenced to State
Prison, and turned over to the Sheriff, there
is no place where they may be kept except in
State Prison, if the prisoners have once been
removed from the Jail; but he may keep
prisoners fifteen days in Jail before first re-
moving them. if he sees fit.
Sheriff Toffey today viii consult the Court
10 regard to his duty in the matter.
