Arrest of a Leading New Jersey
Politician.
SENSATION CAUSED At TRENTON
Frank A. Mcgowan Taken to
Jail.
WILL BE SUED HEAVILY

TRENTON. n. j., August 22.-Frank A.
Mcgowan. until recently rated as mill
ionaire AMI frequently mentioned in con-
nectiCn with the republican gubernatoral
nomination this year, was arrested today
Oh capias. charged with the seduction of
Helen Edith Barnes and the alienation of
her affections from her husband, John AL
bert Barnes.
The latter was superintendent of the
Eastern Rubber Company, one of the Ma
gowan concerns which a fortnight since
passed into the hands of a receiver and it
is he who prefers the charges against Ma
gowan.
Mcgowan was taken at cnce to the Mer-
Ger county jail and detained under $4,000
bail. The heavy bail was fixed on account
of the belief that Mcgowan arranging
to leave for Mexico, and because Barnes is
DESTROYS OF institutng suit to recover $780,
coo damages against him.
The complaint covers thirty typewriter
pages and is succinct description of
MaGowan's methods and doings in running
the Barnes home. 1t is sworn to by
Barnes. and, basng his action upon it's
contents, Supreme Court Commissioner
John 5. Aitkin granted a capias, stating in
his writ that, having read and considered
the complaint, it is sufficiently proved that
the said Frank Mcgowan has been guilty
of criminal relations with the said Helen
Edith Barnes.
Magowan's arrest on such charges has
created a great sensation here. Reports
were in circulation a few days ago that
Barnes was seeking him with a revolver,
and a tragic conclusion of the affair had
been anticipated.
Barnes swears further that Mcgowan
frequently sent him Barnes) out of the
city on business trips for the purpose of
better conserving with he".
Several times he has found Mcgowan at
his house and has chased him therefrom,
and once Mcgowan escaped his wrath by
scaling fences a the dead of night. His
wife was completely under Magowan's
control, and both, he says. are now living
at the Hotel Windsor, New York
Mcgowan has made Mrs. Barnes believe
that he intends to marry her directly he
shall he divorced from his own wife Mrs.
Barnes refuses TO return to the city, her
husband says in the complaint, and in
response to his entreaties to do 50 she re-
peatedly declares she loves Mcgowan and
Will not give him up.
At this writing Mcgowan is in the Gus
toby of Sheriff Eye Of this county, no one
having come forward to give hail for him.
Later.-Capt. Lawrence Farrell and SEN
ator William II. Skrm this afternoon fur
nished bail for Mcgowan. and he was at
once released from custody.
The papers in the big damage suit were
filed today, and the case viii come up for
trial at the November term of the supreme
court.
Chaunccy H. Beasiey of counsel for
Barnes is drawing up a petition fer divorce
for him, which. it is expected will be filed
within twenty-four hours.

The Hour for Lighting Lamps.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
1t is to be hoped that people who read
the weather reports in The Star will also
read the schedule for the city lights and
see to it that it is complied with. Last
nights Star reported that all gas lamps
must be lighted by T:01 pm. THE lighting
is begun one hour before" The first lamp
on my street was lighted at 1:t0 pm, and
the boy informed me that he was instruct
ed to begin at 1:01 pm, and that The Star
was "off its base" 1t ought TO be consid-
cradle in the pockets of the gas company
to begin lighting an hour later. and as the
people who pay taxes are just that much
out of pocket it seems that some enc ought
to see TO this. The policeman on the block
says 1t is none of his business. F. c. K.

Germany to Supply Coke.

Germany is preparing to compete with
England in supplying coke to the ore
smeiters of Australia. according to a re-
cent report to the State Department by
Consul Stephan at Annaberg, Germany
He says that a dozen large sailing vessels
have been chartered for the purpose of car
IyiHg loads of the German coke to Port
1nic. AMI he predicts that if the shipments
which are now being made prove success
full the exports will largely increase. as
Germany produces coke in great abundan nee
and very cheaply. Ii appears that hereto
fore the Durham coke has been used almost
exclusively in smelling the gold and silver
ores in Australia.
