QUESTION Or AUTHORSHIP.

duty with him, when he was in COM
mand Of the American squadron sent 10

release Of American prisoners, and 10

to be paid. Some of this correspondence
is extremely interesting.
As TO the authorship Of the document
printed above there must be some doubt.
1t was not written by the Commodore
Barron whose papers form the greater
portion Of the collection, as he died in
Norfolk in 1910. soon after being relieved
from duty in the Mediterranean, and APP
pointed TO the command of the Gosport
navy-yard. The paper was probably
written by Commander Samuel Barron,
Jr.. a son Of the Commodore. Commander
Barron entered the navy as midship-
man IN 1872. when only 10 years Of age.
lie was a lieutenant at the time Of the
bonnbardment OF Vera Cruz by the
French, not being made commander
until 1917. He had the latter rank when
the war between the States broke out,
and although he was offered great in
ducements TO remain in the old navy, he
resigned his commission, and IA the four
years following rendered distinguished
service IN the navy OF the Confederate
States Both Of these officers should be

Several times Justice Potts attempted to

made an insulting remark to the Court.
The Little Judge at first paid no atten-

with threat, he ordered the parent of

BAUER A L0THARIO
The Ex-Assemblyman Ar
rested on Complaint Of
His Wife While
With a Widow.

Ex-Assemblyman Charles Bauer, of
North Hudson, was arraigned before
Police Justice Potts In the Second Crim-
inal Court this morning on complaint Of
Overseer of the Poor Hewitt, who charged
him with having abandoned his wife. The
hearing, at the request of the defendant,
was adjourned until July g.
The ex-Assemblyman had been arrested
in front of No. 81 Park street at 1890
o'clock this morning by Detective Clark,
who was accompanied by Mrs Bauer.
The details of the complaint and arrest.
so far as could be CLEANED from the not
over-talkative court officials, were as fol-
ows:-Bauer, who is an insurance adj
juster, with an office on Nassau street.
New York, two months ago disappeared
from his father-in-law's house on Hudson
Heights, where he had been living with
his wife. Mrs. Bauer traced her faithless
spouse to this city-it is said to the home
of handsome widow. Mrs. Bauer took
up her residence here and made com
plaint to the Overseer of the Poor that
her husband had abandoned her.
After a long search, it is said, Mrs
Bauer learned that her husband was liv-
ing at No. 81 Park street, and thither,
in company with Detective Clark, she re-
paired last night. Her husband and the
widow, it is said, were about entering the
house when Mrs. Bauer suddenly ap-
peared and said to her husband:-
well, I've got you at last
Bauer did not reply, and the wife
turned to the woman and demanded to
know what right she had with her hus-
band. Whereupon the aforesaid woman
departed, leaving Bauer to the care of
Fate. an angry wife and a waiting de-
tective.
Clark brought the ex-Assemblyman to
the Communipaw avenue station house,
where he was booked, and subsequently,
released by Justice of the Peace Charles
A. Roe in $500 bail, furnished by John E.
Muller, of No. Wescott place.
The greatest secrecy was maintained
about the proceedings and every effort
made to keep the press from obtaining
particulars of the arrest.

LETTER CARRIERS 70 RIDE FREE
government Makes Arrangement
With North Jersey Company

Beginning tomorrow morning new
regulation concerning letter carriers on
the street car lines will go into effect.
Heretofore the carriers have been allowed
one ticket for round trip. The plan of
the Government being to help the carrier
get to his route as quickly as possible and
then allowing him to get back as best he
could.
Under the new plan the Government will
pay the North Jersey Street Railway
Company a lump sum, the amount of
which cannot be ascertained, for which
the company viii carry at all times any
letter carrier when arrayed in his uniform
and having a bag slung across his
shoulder.
The advantage of this arrangement to
the public is apparent at once. 1t will
enable a carrier while delivering mail
along his route to jump on a car and ride
short distance in those sections where
the houses are few and far between and
will greatl lessen the time now consumed
in getting over route.
