Charles Geiger Tells How He
Slipped Away from the
Hoboken Police.

Charles Geiger. an ex-pugilist of Hobo
ken. some time ago passed a Worthless
check and a warrant was issued Ssor his
arrest. Although he has been seen about
the city many times no one in the police
department ever attempted to arrest him
Until early last Tuesday morning when the
big coniagration which swept five tena-
ment houses IN Adams street, occurred.
Then Roundsman Cross, of Police Head
quarters, caught him as he was watching
the fire and started with him towards
the station house. But Cross did not sue

Editor of The Jersey City News:
Dear Sir-As a reader Of your valuable paper
l wish to ask you to grant me a favor by
publishing these few lines. While standing on
the corner of Newark and Adams street last
1uesday morning ! was accosted by Rounds
man Cross who told me he had a warrant
for my arrest for passing a worthless check.
/ asked him to walk down the street with
me to the house of a friend to see him in re-
gard to gCing my bail, and he consented.
Well, to use a slang expression, I gave hin
the slip by jumping into a hallway. He
summoned Officers Peters, McKenna, Hide
mann and Detectives Wilson and Fallon. who
were doing duty at the fire which occurred
there Monday night. The whole six of them
surrounded the hallway in which I was, and

one OF them was able to find me. I got out
while they surrounded the hall and was sur
prised tol see McKcnna on d roof in Jefferson
street locking down a chimney for me. Now
! wish to inform them all that il ever / enter
the City Hall on that warrant it will be to
give myself up, which / don't intend to do
for a while yet. and III see that none of them
will get the credit of arresting me. 1 am

HUDSON RIPLBMBN VICTORIOUS.
The Team Defeated the Essex Anna
3esJrs. of

EL 60
The Hudson Rife Clu of Marion have
every reason to feel proud of this sea-
sons record on the rifle range, and the
organization is entitled to all the praise
emanating from their success. They have
gone through the season without a de-
feat n claim the championship of the
State. They have tried unsuccessfully to
get on a match with the Greenvilles, but
the latter have refused to shoot against
the Hudsons. The Marion team will not
take a back seat against either the Green
villes or Millers of Hoboken and if either
of these teams has the courage to ar
range a match the Hudsons will gladly
accommodate them. Last evening the
club shot another contest with a strong
team from Newark, the Essex Amateurs,
but sent them home minus a victory. The
visitors put up a high score, but it was
many points below the Hudson figure.
Three of the Hudson reached the 240
mark. 1t was a well-earned victory and
the Newarkers acknowledged the Hud-
sons to be a great team. Scores were:-
Hudson r. Clutch. 24O; Rsbhan, pa;
Mahlenbrock, 227; O'Hare. 239; Tewes, 240:

President Charles Dole is not the first
great college president or great educator
who has been outspoken in praise OF
Paine's celery compound.
The detailed and convincing testimo-
NAL of President Cook of the National
Teachers Association is fresh in the
public mind.
One of the foremost educators in Amer
lea, Principal L. l.. Camp of the Dwight
School, New Haven, has called Paine's
celery compound the greatest invigorator
in existence.
Such men as State Treasurer Colvin of
New York; Mr.. Carlisle's private seere-

lister to Austria, John NJ. Francis, Ed
mund Russell, and a host of others
whose character and learning are recog-
nized by the world, have publicly stated
thai when they were sick it was Paine's
celery compound that made them well.
Thousands of equally responsible.
