SMUGGLER CAPTURED
Ah Tom Crossed the River Once Too
Often and Fell Into the Hands
Of the OffiCerS.-Wdnted By the
Federal Court To Answer An
Indictment For Smuggling
Chinese.

SMnOSS.
Louie Hank, Chinaman who has
earned for himself quite local reputa-
tiOn as smuggler, was captured last
night in Chinatown by Treasury Agent
Richard Rule.
Hank was known on this side the
river as All Tom. ae was indicted
year ago by the federal grand jury for
unlawfully aiding and abettipg China
men to enter the United States. He
made his escape to Mexico and gov
ernment officers here have been on the
lookout for Ah Tom ever since. It
was known that he was actively en-
gagged in smuggling and making almost
nightly visits to this city to bring
over opium and to escort Cinnamon
across the border.
Dick Rule had been laying for All
Tom for the past elk months. He
haunted the shadowed quarters at all
hours of the night and also kept his
eye on the Sierra Madre bridge, which
All Tom was supposed to use as his
crossing place during high water.
Last night the officer caught sight of
his man in an alley between Ell Paso
aud Oregon street headed for China
town. He watched the Chinaman un-
til he entered house and then lay in
wait until he came out.
= The Chinaman finally came out and
Rule pabbed him. A struggle ensued
but the alleged smuggler finally yield
ed and was taken to Jail.
A Tom or Louie Hank is big fel-
low and is possessed of q hideous face.
His teeth protrude and his eyes are
small and cunning. He resided in this
city four years and during that time
was never known to do lick of honest
work.
His passport was taken from him lsst
year so that he was in this country last
night unlswfully and can be depOrted
for that offehse if he is not convicted in
the federal court for smuggling.
All Tom has a record several yards
ong. His countrymen here allege that
re is q high binder and a fugitive from
San Francisco, where he committed
several awful deeds while pract1cing
mis- profession as high binder. Chi
namen in this city feared and Stunned
Dim and were delighted to hear of his
capture.

Sheriff Cheesman Takes the Fair Sarah
Hence.
Sarah Munyon, who has for some wears
been in the public eye, has retired from
this locality for a time, and is now in the
New Jersey State Prison.
Miss Munyon was anxious to 90 for
she feels that she will not long remain In
the big Jail building. She is already
figuring on parole or pardon. If she
fails in her efforts with the Pardon Board
she will remain in prison over five wears.
for her fine is $1,000 in addition to the
time given.
Miss Munyon displayed no emotion
whatever when she boarded the train in
company with the Sheriff. She was
fashionably dressed and carried morn
ing newspaper in her hand. She sat on
the opposite side of the car from the plat
form to escape the eyes of the curious.
BY request, the Sheriff allowed Sarah to
sit two or three seats from him, and she
appeared to be as unconcerned as any of
the passengers in the car.
In the smoking car sat Prosecutor
Logue. He did not know that Sarah was
going to Trenton and he was going to the
capitol city himself upon legal business.
Sarah would not have felt nearly so COM
posed as she did if she had known Mr..
Logue was on board.

Drying Preparations

Simply develop dry catarrh; they dry up
the secretions which adhere to the mem
brane and deccompose, causing far
more serious trouble than the ordinary
form of catarrh. Avoid all drying in
halents and use that which cleanses,
soothes and heals. Ely's Cream Balm is
such a remedy and will cure catarrh or
cold in the head easily aud pleasantly.
A trial size will be mailed for 10 cents,

CHIEF ELWELL RESIGNS.
The Firemen Elect George Kinkle Jr., as
His Successor.

At the regular II onthly meeting of the
Fire Department Monday, VIM. H. II.
Elwell resigned his position as chief of
the Department and will retire from
active service. The Chief stated that he
liked the Department and was oath to
leave active service, but his health was
some what impaired and he felt he could
no longer act as a fireman. He will
continue for the present to have charge
of the electrical apparatus.
The Fire Department reluctantly re-
ceived the resignation of Chief Elwell
and committee was appointed to draft a
lifting memorial concerning the retiring
head of the department, and present it at
future meeting.
The Department then went into the
election of chief, and George Kiukle.
Jr.. was UNANIMOUSLY chosen to succeed
Mr.. Elwel. Kinkle has for some time
been First Assistant Chief, and has the
respect and confidence of every member
of the Department His election must be
confirmed by City Council. 1t is said
there will be no opposition there.
Amos Penn, who has been a member
OF the Department for many years, also
resigned frcm the service. His resigna-
ton was accepted, but his successor was
not chosen last night. Both Mr.. Elwell
and Mr.. Penn, were elected honorary
members of the Company.

CHANGE OF RULES.
People Want Change in Matter of Con-
duct of Primaries.

duct of Primaries.
A prominent Republican was Thurs
day discussing the Spring campaign, and
he took occasion to express his views
| concerning the manner of conducting
nominating primaries and conventions.
He urged that the Republican party
always was in the interest of the people,
believed in and advocated fair play, and
that the time had arrived for a reform in
the matter of selecting candidates.
There can be no question as;s that
more effort should be made to get out
representative vote at primaries. The
conduct of nominating primaries is such
that many people refuse to participate
and oft times nominations result that are
not satisfactory. Especially is this so
when delegates are chosen for City Con-
ventions. Delegates declare that they are
for certain candidates, the people take
them at their word, and elect them.
Some of these men are so forgetful of
their honor that they go to convention,
violate their pledged word, and vote
directly against the persons they prom
ised to support.
The Crawford county system OF voting
has been adopted 10 some counties, and
every voter casts his ballot directly for
the nominee and delegates are unneces-
sary. Then other counties have meetings
for nomination one week and week
later have the primary for the selection of
the ticket. This gives an opportunity for
the voter to investigate the merits of the
people who want to be elected to con-
| ventions.
Best of all will be system which puts
primary meetings under State control
with all honest, fair safeguards surround
ing them, and day set apart for the vot-
ers to express their views in the nomina-
ton of candidates.

WHERE Is SHE ?
The Disappearance of Emily shull still
Mystery.

Where is Emily Shull?
Nothing has been heard of her since on
morning early last fall she was left
alone at her home near Newport, while
her father and mother were away, and on
their return they found Emily had gone:
left the house with two small children.
Since then no trace has ever been found
OF her. although 1t was said soon after her
disappearance that she had been seen in
the neighborhood of Haleyville, about
five miles from her home.
1t is believed by many that she is dead
That she wandered off and was lost in
the woods. IT is quite certain that she
could not have gone very far for when
re left she had but 81 50 in money and
nothing that she could pawn.
The girl was only little past twelve
years old. and certainly one so young
could not get away far. However, she
has disappeared, and no one seems to
know where. She is said to have been
incorrigible, and had given her mother
considerable trouble, even though tender
in years.
Search has been made for the girl in
Philadelphia, and many towns in this
State, but without effect. Detectives have
been employed, but still no clue has been
obtained of her. Where is she?
1t has been limited that the girl has
been spirited away, and some people
have even limited at murder; but if these
things bear any semblance of truth, what
became of her. and in what manner has
she met death. One thing seems strange
about the case, and the most singular part
of it is, how could she get away on noth-
ing, without some one seeing her.
The case is mystery, sure.

Alone, uncared for, helpless, David
Fry, we'll known Bridgeton veteran of
the civil war. died in his room, in Elmer's
block, on South Laurel street.
Fry has lived in two rooms, on the
second floor, over Eggman's store, for
some time. He retired Saturday night
as usual, about eleven O'Clock, and he
was not again seen alive by any one.
The old gentleman has been in the habit
of sitting about the store of Jacob Men
gle, and Monday afternoon his absence
was noticed. Mr.. Mengle directed his
clerk. Thomas Schiller, to go down to
Fry's rooms, and see if there was any,
thing wrong. Mr.. Schiller Immediately
went down. accompanied by Constable
Robert f. Ayars. They found the door
OF the rooms locked, and going out upon
rear room they were able to look over
the place which Fry called home. The
hrst object that met their gaze was the
outstretched body of Fry, lying upon
the floor. Mr.. Mengle was Immediately
notified, and in company with ex-Surro-
gate Fithian, he went to the place
Constable Ayars made an entrance to
the rooms through a window and un-
locked the door, admitting the others.
The body of Fry was found lying in the
doorway leading from his bedroom to his
living apartments. He was in night attire
and had fallen upon his side and partly
upon his face. His hands and arms were
outstretched in front of him. His face

Mr.. Fry had evidently been taken i'll
while lying in bed. Hastily arising he
was overcome with sick ness of the stom-
ach and vomited. His cough or vomiting
mad caused rupture of blood vessel,
and hemmorrhage followed. Death was
due to apoplexy.
Saturday night, just before twelve
O'Clock, Miss Lizzie Burger, who has a
oressmaklng establishment on the same
hoor, was entertaining some lady friends.
one OF the ladies thought she heard a call
for Miss Burger, but it was not repeated.
A few moments later a sound as if a
heavy object had fallen, was heard by the
ladies. All was Immediately quiet. 1t is
probable that it was at this time that
death claimed Mr.. Fry.

had not been unfolded, and upon bureau
was copy of March magazine, the
