To derive the best results
from advertising is during
the summer months. The
advertising columns Of the

and newspapers were never

than now. August trade Is

TROUBLE is BRE WING.
Republicans Anticipate Hot Time
Over the Primaries.

The Executive Committee of the Repub-
lican County Committee, has arranged for
the primaries to be held Monday night
October s, throughout the county. Dele
gates are to be chosen for the County and
Congressional conventions which will be
held two days later in Lincoln Hall.
Some trouble is looked for in the Eighth
and Ninth wards, where strong anti-ring
factions held forth. The Decker and Lam
drine elements have consolidated and a
good strong fight is looked for at the
primaries. 1t is the earnest wish of the
anti-ring men that their delegates be
elected in order to help nominate "men
who will be the choice of the decent Re-
publicans of the county" For the Eighth
and Ninth wards the anti-ring people
have selected strong tickets to oppose the
ring. A close and hot fight is anticipated.
The Republican County Committee will
not meet until next Friday evening, when
plans for the several conventions will be
discussed and definitely decided

FOR HOUSE OF DETENTION
Miss McCartin Wants Old
Christ Hospital Building on
Magnolia Avenue.

There is, and has been for some time,
movement on foot among some of the
women of this city to establish a house
of detention for children under sixteen
years of age Miss Elizabeth c. McCartin,
of Montgomery and Barrow streets, is at
the head of this movement, and she In
tends to get bill providing such an i'm
stftution in Hudson county through the
next Legislature.
Miss tMcCartin is not working on the
basis of a club woman-she does not be-.
long to the Woman's Club-but as a tax
payer in Hudson county. Mrs Hudspeth-
Benson is also interested in this work,
and together they often visit the Court
House to see that all goes well with the
children. In most cases where the boy is
under sixteen they are able to prevent
his going to jail, but Il a child under that
age does get into jail 1t is Miss McCar-
tin duty to appear for him.
These women have long felt the evil
influence to which these children are slas-
ceptible when detained in the Court House
awaiting trial, and in many instances:
they are under arrest for small Offences
They feel that if there was only some
place outside the Court House where the
children might be detained much more
could be done for them morally.
Miss McCartin has already applied to-
Allan McDern1ott for the use OF the Oh

MURDER AFTER THE PLAY
Garrabrant Saw THE Bow
cry After Dark and
Killed Mass.

The trial of nineteen year old John Gar
rabrandt for the murder of fourteen year
old Henry Mass, at Jersey City in April
last, will commence before Justice Col
Inns and Judge Blair in the Court of Oyer
and Terminer on Tuesday morning next.
The defence will be insanity, and Lawyer
Alex. Simpson will try to prove that this
condition in his client was partly heredi-
tory and partly due to the reading of SEN
satienal novels and the excessive use of
cigarettes.
Mr.. Simpson says that despite contra
dictions young Garrabrant is a nephew of
Libbie Garrabrant, a life prisoner at the
Trenton State Prison. She was sentenced
to death for the murder of man in
Paterson twenty years ago. Her sentence
was commuted to Imprisonment for life
and she is now the only woman serving
a life sentence for murder in this State.
In conversation with News reporter
this morning, Lawyer Simpson said
There is no question in my mind that
Garrabrant is moral degenerate. Not
only his unprovoked crime but his actions
before the murder and since his confine-
ment in the County Jail bears out this
belief. The only motive for the murder
was lfle duea conceived III MS ulSOfuefeu
brain that young Mas was his rival in
love and might take the girl Irene from
him. That is the opinion of the medical
experts who have examined him in the
jail and who will testify for the defense
at the trial.
The youthful murderer is one of the
most Indifferent prisoners confined in
ward 3-the portion of the County Jail at
the rear of the office on the first floor
where the most desperate criminals are
kept under close surveillance. He smokes
all the cigarettes he can obtain, and is an
omnivorous reader of love stories. His
actions, While not those of the ordinary
insane person, seem to indicate not
eevenly balanced mind. He is jolly and
companionable with the other prisoners,
but very reticent when any reference is
made to his crime. The one topic on which
he longs to talk is ''llis girl" and his con-
stant fear is that she will so back on
him.
Garagrant's fAher has visited him
few times since his confinement in the
Jail. His only other visitor has been his
loving mother who has been most con-
slant in her attentions to her unfor-
tunate son. The nearness Of his trial or
its probable result does not seem to dis
turb his equilibrium, in fact does not cost
him a thought apparently.
Some of the young murderer's friends
say that shortly before Mass was killed
Garrabrant visited local theatre where
a sensational melodrama called s'The
Bowery After Dark" was being played.
lover into a cellar and fells him with
a slungshot. The similarity of Cara
brant's crime to this scene will be remem-
bered. Lawyer Simpson admits that he
will try to prove that this incident of the
theatrical performance was the final
mind and was indirectly responsible for
| the murder.

. SISTERS TALE
The Version the Head Of the
Home for the Blind Gives
Of the Escape.
NO CRUELTY, SHE SAYS
The Neighborhood Aroused
By the "News's" Ex-
elusive Story.

The story of the attempted escape of
twenty-four year old Julia Lyons, of
Clark street, from the Home of Our
Lady of Perpetual Help for the Blind as
published exclusively in yesterdays
News" caused a sensation in that neigh
borhood, and called forth bitter condem-
nation for the institution and those who
manage it, The Home is at No. SO Ocean
avenle. The girl lived on Clerk near Myr-
tie street with her brother before her
commitment to the home year ago.
Admission to both the girls former
home and the institution was refused this
morning. Repeated rapping and efforts
to attract the attention of those within
both houses proved futile
The case came to public notice through
scene which took place on Clerk street
near the bridge of the Newark branch of
the Central Railroad when the girl was
being dragged about by a woman dressed
in the garb of a Sister of Charity. The
struggle continued until the girls clothes
were badly torn and finally resulted in
victor for the "Sister," who succeeded
in getting the girl into the ''Home of
Our ably of Perpetual Help for the
Blind"
A News" reporter learned that the girl
was Julia Lyons. who had escaped from
the home. The woman with whom she
struggled is known as SISTER Rosalie
She is at the head of the home.
When Julia Lyons was a mere child she
suffered severe attack of scarlet fever
and became blind. She continued to live
with her family until death claimed her
parents. She then found a home with her
brother and sister-in-law. A year ago it
was thought advisable to place the girl
in a home and she was accordingly put
under the charge of Sister Rosalie.
| Though Sister Rosalie refused to see
a reporter, her version of the story was
Indirectly learned. The story she tells Is
/ that she desired to guard the welfare of
| her charge. When the girl escaped from
the home her absence was unknown for
some time. When she was missed isis
ter" Rosalie began, she says, a
search for her and saw her talking to
/ strange man. Fearful that the meeting
of Julia and her male companion, whose
name could not be learned. would result
in a scandal, she hurried to the girls side
| and scolded her for leaving the home
as she did. with a view OF leading her
charge back to the home, Sister Rosaiie
placed her hand on her shoulder. She
was repulsed and a struggle followed, e
according to SISTER" RosaEe
The girls relatives refused TO say any
thing. Her brother who was seen re-
gretted the publicity the case had already
been given.
The Home of Our aLdy of Perpetual
| Health for the blind is a private fnsti-
| tuition conducted by the woman who calls
| herself Sister RosaliA TT is slfpnorfed nv
private subscriptions, and most of the
patients pay something toward their
maintenance. Some time ago Bishop
Wiger read in all the Catholic Churches
of Jersey City a letter in which he stated
that the home was in no way connected
with the church.
