sCHUMAEN SENT TO JAIL.
dishonest Insurance Agent WAS a
B0boken Sport.

Otto Schumann, the insurance collec-
tor of No. 1928 River street, Hoboken. who
was arrested yesterday, charged with en-
b~ezzling 5000 from the Mutual Life In
surance Company, was committed to the
County Jail this morning by Recorder
McDonough in default of bail.
Schumann is charged by Mr.. Henry w.
Dewitt, who a few months ago was gen
eral agent of the company. but now is
local superintendent of the Equitable Life
Insurance Company, with collecting pre-
miums and falling to return the money
to the company. Schumann is a young
man and is well known in Hoboken. He
was frequently seen in with the
young sports who frequent a Newark
street sporting resort. Not long ago he
lost $40 In trying to beat an expert New
York billiard sharp.
He collected more han $500 from
Messrs. Vredenburgh & Beekman of Ho-
boken, and although given time to make
up his accounts, paid no attention to the
demands made by MI. Dewitt for an ac-
counting. This is not the first time Schu-
mann, 1t is alleged, has been in trouble,
and it was only the f~orbearance and kind
ness of Mr.. Dewitt that saved him from
jail and a long term of imprisonment.
The warning was uilheeded and there
was nothing left but to prosecute. As
the case now stands, the defaulting agent
stands a good hance of going to State
Prison for a few years.

Federal government was able and
willing to preserve the domestic peace
against riot and disorder.
All that he has done, he has done
almost alone. Even his cabinet has
been divided by treachery, and in
both Houses of Congress his friends
have been outnumbered by his enc
mics by ten to one since the first day
of his. accession, it might be said.
Hardly any President has had more
difficult problems to solve, and one
has been SO harassed by difficulties
extraneous to those problems them
selves. And, withal, he remains the
savior of his country in respect Of
peace, credit, honor, almost in respect
of the permanence of its institutions.
1t may yet be that the people will,
in the hour of need, recall him to the
guidance of their affairs.

In many cases the delinquency extended
back nearly a score or more years on
which, property the tax accrued before
the present owners got possession. The
canceling of the claims met with general
approval. The tax records have all been
Strengthened out, and no more trouble
can be looked for in this direction by
those who have had their claims salts

The. Commissioners have collected up-
wards of SO, 900. justly owed taxes to the
city. When the reports of the Commits

properties found to be justly indebted to

The boys being discharged every time
when they are arrested have blossomed
into bold thieves.
On Wednesday morning the boys were
caught by Detective Fenton attempting
to steal a penny-in-the-slot Machine
from the front of a store on Willow
avenue They were locked up and dis
charged the next morning. On February
% they were arrested for stealing a
pocketbook from young Metzler's fathe

barrow and were arrested again.
Last night the boys stole three door
mats from houses along Washington
street. They were carrying the mats off
when arrested. Recorder McDonough

examination.
