WIFE INVESTS HUSBANDS MONEY
Mr.. Bender Objacts to Being Kept
in Iguorancs and Assaulted Her.

Jacob Bender, of No. 65 st. PauTs ave-
rue, was arranged in the Second Criminal
Court yesterday, charged with assault and
brought out somevery interesting develop
ments. The trouble between the couple
originated over money.
Mrs. Bender, according to her story,
gave New York broker, S7,400 to invest
for her. OF this amount, $3, 800 belonged to
the husband. The balance was borrowed
from her husbands cousin and sister and
her cousin.
She refused ait first to tell her husband
the name of the New York broker. He
demanded that he be taken over to see the
man.
According to his story his wife took him
over to the office of a New York broker,
walked him inside and remarked, your
money is in here safely invested Then
she insisted on coming out again Bender
tried to see the man, but was unable to do
so. He made repeated efforts.
Both Bender and his wife work hard to
earn money, and are of a saving disposi-
tion. Last night they quarreled ever the
money which Mrs. Bender says she depos-
tied with a New York broker. The hus-
band assaulted her and Justice Nevfn put
both under bonds TO keep the peace and
advised the husband to secure the services

WHO'LL BE THE VICTIM /?
Republicans of the Seventh
Ward Want SacrificiaI Lamb
for AIdermanic Altar.

The Republicans of the Seventh ward
are on a still hunt for some one who will
accept the Republican Aldermanfc norni-
nation for the spring election. Republican
Aldermanic timber is scarce in the ward
As yet no Republican has been found who
IS loyal enough to be sacrificed on the al
tar of Republicanism. The recent over
whelming defeats have made them chary
of rislsing their wealth.
Considerable difficulty was experienced
last spring in inducing man to accept
the nomination, and it was only after tell
ing him wind tales of the, strength of the
party and the support he was to receive,
that he finally consented to accept.
Charles E. Colbeck, of the Minkakwa
Club, was the unfortunate g-ulled being.
The result of last springs election clearly
demonstrated the strength of the party,
which did not ait all correspond with the
promises made by the ward leaders Mr..
Colbeck was bea ten two to one 1t was
an open secret that he was knitted by bis
own party.
The conditions are about the same this
year. The ward is strongly Democratic,
and one aspirant for Republican honors
will have a hard row to hoe. AS vet no
one has been mentioned for the office, but
as in past years committee will prob
ably soon be appointed to visit possible as
pirants and endeavor to get some one to
stand for the nomination. If the nominee
should be a club member his fate would be
sealed as the other Republican clubs in
the ward would undoubtedly knife him.

SILK PETTICOAT CHAIN.
Jersey City Women Warned
Not to Be Fooled.

An "endless chain silk petticoat scheme
has been worked in many cities of this
vicinity ''The News reprints the follow
ing dispatch from Trenton as a warn ng
to Jersey City women
.iAbout two weeks ago a sleek-looking
fellow carrying an ample grip-sack ap-
peared and rented a suite of rooms in one
of the business blocks near the centre OF
the city. The newcomer said he was the
active member of the firm of Bennett @
Co.. and after equipping his office with
two pretty girls who were to act as clerks,
he advertised that Bennett & Co. would
give silk petticoat valued at $lo 10
every woman who would pay them u
and furnish the addresses of ten OF her
female acquaintances who would agree to
pay 81 each for similar bargains.
sit was an endless chain proposition,
and how did it goi Within few days
the links were being forged with a rapid
ity that must have been highly satisfac-
tory to the firm who reaped cool pront
of 81 a link
Two or three petticoats were given out,
and the applicants, who were falling
over each other to get first choice, were
told that the supply had been exhausted,
but if they left their dollars on deposit
the skirts would be forthcoming within
few days.
Yesterday morning, when crowd OF
bargain-hunting women reached the office
of Bennett & Co., they found the doors
locked, and one of the affable clerks later
in the day said she had received a letter
from Mr. Bennett, who was in Philadel-
phia, saying that the scheme was busted
but assuring her that he would be IN
Trenton in few days and settle with
everybody that the firm owed. The letter
advised the clerk to close the office and
keep quiet a day or two"

foolish in asmuch as the people had elect
ed Sherer.
In this manner Sherer was declared
qualified and the recommendation of
Erwin thrown out.
Chairman Woolley then began his plea,
for harmony. In an earnest manner he
asked the members to forget all past diff
ferences, to stop their petty chickering's
and to work in harmony for the success
of the ticket He thought the party had
good chance to elect Congressman and
an Assembly ticket this fall. He wanted
no Filipinos in the ranks Of the party and
wanted all of the committeeman to sup
port the officers.
He added that he did not wish anyone
to construe his remarks as being of a
personal nature.
John P. Landrine spoke for harmony
and then went on to refer to the Sherer
matter. He was declared out of order
Walter K. Birdsall spoke for unity, say
ing that they should act like honest men,
and stop scrapping. He also touched on
the Sherer case, stating that Eaton had
kept Sherers money back instead of
qualifying him.
Eaton got angry and declared that he
paid the money out of his own pocket.
N. G. Nelson also made an address
on harmony and he was followed by
John ]. Erwin. The latter stated that he
had been opposed to the machine at the
last election, but was willing to get back
in line, as were the rest of the First
ward members.
The Appeals Committee was the only
committee appointed. The committee or
ganized and selected Frank j. Higgins as
Chairman and Edward Martin as Secre-
tary. The other members are;-Jacob
