PRISONER GROWS SARCASTIC.
Thanks Justice Hoos for Thirty
Days Sentence.

When Minnie Helwig was arrested in
her fiat at No. 271 York street Saturday
night by Detective McNally, of Police
Headquarters, and Detective DriScoll, of
New York, the officers were disappointed
because they did not find her confederate,
Gusse Siler. A search here and in New
York city was begun. The women were
wanted for the theft of about $500 worth
of clothing and jewelry from Mrs. Eliza
beth Clark, of West Twenty ninth street,
New York city. Mrs. Clark keeps
boarding house, and some time ago she.
engaged the Siler girl as a servant.
She was in the house two days when
Miss Helwig called on her and was intro
duced to Mrs. Clark as her newly engaged
servants sister. There was considerable
work to do, and Miss Helwig offered to
assist fier sister. When the two girls,
each about twenty-five years old, were
engaged in the kitchen Mrs. Clark left the
house. When she returned the girls had
disappeared, and so had the property.
Detective Driseoll traced them to the
house at No. 21 York street. and there
Miss Helwig was arrested, after a lively
chase to the roof of the house. The Off
GERS could not account for the absence of
Miss Siler, who was the real thief. They
kept close watch, however, and inter-
cepted a postal card to Miss Helwig from
her chum, saying she would call yester-
day afternoon about 8 O'Clock. Detective
Bumsted took Miss Helwig for a walk.
about the time it was naturally supposed
Miss Siler would be on Mont gomery
street. Sure enough she came along and
never thinking her chum's companion
was police officer, she stepped up to the
two and was warmly greeted.
The walk toward the York street house
was taken up, as Miss Siler supposed On
the way Police Headquarters was reach
ed, and here Detective Bumsted told Miss
Siler she was wanted for theft and the
two were marched to the sergeants S desk,
where they were booked. Then they We're
taken to the Third precinct police station
which is fitted up for the accommodation
of women and children, and held until this
morning, when they were arraigned be-
fore Police Justice Hoos on complaint of
Detective Driscoli and Mrs. Clark They
were each held in default of 500 bail to
await extradition.
When this disposition of the case was
made Justice Hoos remarked to the pris-
oners:-
IF the New York authorities do not ex-
tradite you in thirty days you will be
free
What chaunce." sneered Miss Hell
wig. AS she was going into the pen she
turned and said to Justice Hoos:-
THANK YOU

BAIL FOR BARKER.
Assailant of the Rev. John
Keller Of Arlington Held
in Bonds for $4,000.
FRIENDS COME TO TIE RESCUE
Simple Proceedings Held To-
day in Judge Blair's
Of1ce-Meets His
Wife.

Thomas G.. Barker, who attempted to
kill Rev. John Keller, of Arlington, re-
Gently was admitted to bail this after
noon by Judge John A. Blair, in the sum
of 5000. The bondsmen were:-John Sum
ner and Richard G. Malloy. of Arlington,
and Robert ]. Victor, of East Orange
Two other property owners were ready
to go on the bail bond, but there being
an equity of $500 in the three houses Of
fered, the court thought it sufficient.
The proceedings were very simple, and
took place in Judge Blair's office in the
Weldon building. Counselors Albert j.
Wall and Marshall Van Wrinkle represent
ed the defendant, Barker. Prosecutor
James S. Erwin was present !. As Barker's
counsel Offered the property owners men
toned, the prosecutor put numerous ques-
tions about value, mortgages, taxes un-
paid and so forth, and was very dubious
that $500 equity in a certain property
would cover $1,000 bail bond. Anyhow,
Judge Blair thought it was, and said in
his quiet way
Although not large, the equity is large
enough to ensure the refendant's answer
ing to the Grand jury.
The bonds was accordingly signed by
the three parties, and a recess was taken
for a few minutes until tn arrival of Bar
kr from the jail. Accompanied by two
keepers he came in after a few minutes
before two o'clock, well-dressed, in good
health and apparently in spirits. He
bowed to the court, and warmly greeted
his counsel and friends; even quietly
laughing at something one of them said.
He slipped quickly up to the clerks desk
and signed the recogni~ual with the Others
and shortly afterwards returned to the
jail with his friends to take away his
things and go home
Barker wouldn't talk to newspaper men
and seemed glad to escape the scrutiny
of the curious folk hanging about the
corridors.
After leaving the building he boarded
a Court House car for the jail Not long
after that he walked to a. carriage which
stood on Oakland avenue. In it was his
anxious little wife, who kissed him again
Mr.. Barker's counsel have severely
criticised Prosecutor Erwin's conduct
pending the application for bail. 1t was
only at half past eleven o'clock this
certificate as to the recovery Of the
wounded clergyman, although, theysay.
it was clearly understood that it would
be forthcoming on Thursday of last
week. For this alleged act of bad faith
Counsellor Albert C. Wall, in neat and
polite way, yesterday said things about
the Prosecutors office and its ways.
1t is understood that counsel for Barker
have decided to abandon their intention
of putting Rev. Mr.. Keller on the defen-
Sive for criminal assault They will con-
fine themselves to a defense of the case
brought by the people against their client,
and they confidently assert that he will be
acquitted when the facts are laid bare.

Especial to ''The Jersey City News."1
TRENTON, Feb. 26. 19o1.-It was decid-
ed by the Republican Senators that the
anti-spring election bill would not be
pressed to final passage today. 1t will be
considered on second reading and this is
as far as it will go. 1t is settled that the
Republicans will support the measure as
unit, as agreed in the conference of last
night
The House of Assembly did not resume
its session this morning until long after
eleven O'Clock. Assemblyman Leon Alb
Dett stirred up an agitation by offering
committees his bills and resolutions that
are now being held up, among them his
resolution providing for the election of
United States Senators by the people, and
the other resolution on the State Home
for Girls. He will press the resolution
later in the day, and force the House to
take action on all ris bills.
Assemblyman Lutz of Hudson secured
a reconsideration of the vote by which
his bill correcting typographical error
in the school act, was lost 1t increases
from $500 to $1,000. Mr.. Lutz explained
that there was no politics in the bill,
and it was passed.
Assemblyman Lyon of Middlesex has
introduced two amendments to the con-
stitution which provides that no person
can vote until he has been resident of
the precinct in which he votes for per-
iod of fifteen days. The other changes the
clause that provides for Common Pleas
judges and it will be made to read that
there shall be only one judge in county
as the statute now provides.

A BOY WITH 4 RECORD
Freddie Sleeps Through
Kidnapping Of Himself
and Wagon.


Thirteen-year-old Frederick Bernhardt
can sleep sounder than any boy in Jer-
sey, his boss believes. Freddie's boss is
William H. Downs, manager of a laun-
dry company, doing business at No. 407
Washington street, Hoboken. Horace
Mccarthy drives the firms delivery wag
on and Freddie's daily responsibility con-
sists in minding the horse and the fresh
ly starched linen in the wagon. while the
driver delivers packages of steam laun-
dered goods from house to house.
Manager Downs was looking over the
firms books last night when he received
telephone message from Mccarthy that
the horse and wagon had been stolen.
II left Freddie on the wagon while l
was taking a bundle of stuff into a
house on Jersey City Heights" said Nc
Carthy over the phone. when l came
out the wagon was gone. A chap told
me he saw a strange man jump up on
the seat and drive away. The boy was
not in sight"
Downs instructed Mccarthy to notify
the police and in the meantime to look
around and make inquiries. He then dis
patched another employe of the firm to
lower Jersey City with the same instruc
tions.
1t was past ten o'clock when the man
in lower Jersey City was making towards
Police Headquarters that he saw the
firms wagon being driven up Mercer
street.
Hi!'' there he shouted to the strange
driver, where are you going with that
rig?"
The driver whipped up the horse until
he had put good block between himself
and his pursuer. Then he jumped from
the wagon and disappeared down a side
street.
The tired horse was easily caught by
the man from Hoboken, who jumped to
the seat and steered for home. 1t was
not until half the journey homeward had
been made that the man became aware
of snores from the inside of the wagon.
Whoa he cried, and pulled up the
horse. Lighting match he peered inside
the wagon. Lying comfortably on
blanket was Freddie, sound asleep.
Freddie refused to believe that he had
been sleeping for more than two hours.
stop yer stringin','' he said to the
driver. 81 amt been here fer more dan
a couple of seconds. Back t. der laundree
wild yer, back t der laundree."
When seen today, Manager Downs said
that Freddie was probably feeling extra
tired last night, because he had fone out
with Mccarthy on the evening route with
an empty stomach.
mo, the firm does not intend to dis
charge him. replied the manager in re-
ply to a question. amy youngster that
can sleep as sound as he can deserves to
be treated with consideration. The power
he enjoys is rare. envy him.

HUDSON CITY EXHIBITION
Business Men Feel Confident Of It's
Success.

The Hudson City Business Mems Asso-
citation met last night and discussed plans
for the industrial exhibition to be held
under its auspices at Pohimann's, from
March to 10 inclusive. The reports were
very encouraging. For two successive
years these exhibits proved very success
full, but for some reason the exhibit was
dropped last year. The merchants found
that this did not pay.
The principal object of the exposition
IS to show the residents not only of Hud-
son City, but Jersey City, that they do
not have to go to Hobeken, or even New
York to do their shopping" They can
find better, from a truck or van down to a
pin cushion that adorns a table in my
lady's boudoir, in any of the stores or
shops of that locality. All the other inn
provement associations of different Sec
tons of the city are watching the efforts
of the Hudson Business Mems Associa-
ton, and will back it not only with their
universal opinion. but with their treasury.

Dr.McGill Says His Powders
Were Enough to Put
Him to Sleep for
Life.

The defense of Sergeant Quinn at his
trial last night before the Police Com
missioners on charge of neglect Of duty

charged with neglect of duty and soon
retired to his room. He was later
found asleep and he could not be awaken
ed for hours. He slept through his en-
tire tour of duty. His explanation TO the
Commissioners was that he was suffer-
ing with a headache and took tive OF three
packages of powder given him by q drug
gist. He said he remembered nothing
more after reporting for duty. The third

Quinn ever woke up. The charge was
dismissed.
