HIRSCH ESCAPES
Man Accused Of Arson
Pleads Non Vult and Is
Discharged by the
Court.

Judge William Heisler of the Mon
mouth County Court of Common Pleas
sat in that court in Hudson this morn
ing and considered the case of Mendil
Hirsch and Nathan Birnbaum, against
whom ten indictments were found for
arson. About year ago fire was dis
covered in the furniture store of Nathan
Birnbaum, on Newark avenue. When the
firemen arrived Hirsch was found locked
in the store and after the fire had been
quickly extinguished the iremen discov-
cred what they considered unmistakable
evidence of arson. Birnbaum and Hirsch
were arrested and about six weeks ago
the men were placed on trial. After
highly sensational trial of two weeks the
jury, after being out twenty hours. failed
to agree, standing six to six. The men
were to be retired today. but when the
case was called Prosecutor Erwin asked
for postponement on teh ground that
some of the most important witnesses
had left the State and he had been una
BILE to get them into court.
Joseph NJ. Noonan, counsel for Hirsch,
said that he had had conference with
Prosecutor Erwin and Judge William I.
Hoffman, who represented the companies
in which Birnbaum was insured, and
that they We're willing to have Hirsch
plead non vult HTsch, the counsel con-
tinued, had been in jail a year, and had,
he thought, suffered sufficiently. He
hoped the court would take that into
consideration in disposing of the case.
Prosecutor Erwin said he was willing
to accept such a plea, and the court al
lowed it to be entered. Judgment was
suspended and Hirsch was discharged.
He profusely thanked the court and the
lawyers and left the court room with his
friends.
Birnbaum will be called to trial next
Monday on an indictment charging him
with attempting to defraud the insurance
companies, and it was rumored about the
Court House this morning that Hirsch
will turn States evidence on the trial. 5

West Hoboken Man Says Neighhor
Enticed the Birds Through the Fence

William Steingruber and Paul Pietsch
are next door neighbors on the Hudson
Boulevard in West Hoboken. They
don't like each other. Pietsch has
flock of geese. Now, Steingruber hates
geese. SO yesterday when Pietsch found
twelve of his pets missing he began to
suspect his enighbor. His rage knew no
bounds when he heard that they We're IN
the pound, having been taken there by
Steingruber. who swcre they broke
through the fence into his garden and
sobbled up his vegetables.
You let down your fence and entice
them" thundered Pietsch."
81 did not, replied the other. Other
things were said and Pietsch demanded
the geese from Poundkeeper Richard Os-
borne, who said he could have them If
he paid $40 fine. A row followed, and
the poundkeeper drove Pietseh out of his
Office with a club. Justice of the Peace
Hegemen was appealed to, and he said
that the poundkeeper had no right to
charge $40 for damages; the fee was 80.

FREE ICE FOR
SUNDAY OFF
Benchmen's Inducement to
the Butchers Poor
Patrons
SAVING SUNDAY DINNER
Talk and Action by the North
Hudson Contingent Many
Closers Reported.
SAVING SUNDAY DINNER

The North Hudson Benchmen's Asso-
ciation, which is known as Branch No.
of the Hudson County Association,
took up the Sunday closing fight. in ear
nest yesterday at a meeting held at
Schultze's Hall, in Union Hill.
The suggestion was made that many
poor families would object to the closing
of the butcher shops on Sunday because
they wer unable to purchase ice and
could not keep the meat for Sundays
dinner fresh over Saturday night This
objection was met by resolution passed
by the association providing that all
families too poor to buy ice be supplied
with ice free of charge at the expense
of the benchmen. =
I'VE do not wish to give the public
any cause for complaint, said President
Merkel. while we are anxious to la ye
the stores closed on Sunday we do not
wish to have the poor suffer. 70 those
who keep ice the closing of the stores On
the Sabbath will be no hardship. They
can purchase their meat just as we'll on
Saturday night as on Sunday morning
and will have no trouble in keeping it IL:
their ice boxes over night. There may be
a few persons who cannot afford to pay
for ice. They cannot very well keep
their meet over night and the closing OF
the stores would no doubt be harship
to them. We have considered all this
and they need not suffer. If they will
leave their addresses at our headquarters
we can supply them with ice free Of
charge every Saturday during the hot
weather.
The committee appointed to visit the
butchers of North Hudson and obtain
their views on the Sunday closing move
ment reported that many of the butchers
We're willing to close.
Addresses in favor of the movement
We're made by ]. Rownen, who orsanized.
the Jersey City Branch, and Charles
Wehlan, president Of Branch No. 2, of
Hoboken.
Many of the butchers have already
signed a petition signifying their willing
ness to close on the Sabbath. 1t is be-
lieved that with the offer of the associa-
ton to serve free ice all objection from
the public as well as from the butchers
to the movement will be met.

Body
WHO SHOT QUACKENBUSH

Prosecutor James S. Erwin has re-
ceived fromP Prosecutor Voorhees,, of Mid

the mysterious death Of f. ID. Quaeken-
bush, of Cuban street, Brooklyn, who
was found dead in Pennsylvania Rail-
road freight car at South Amboy with

PITY freight car was received at the COM

paired. 1t had been sent on from the
freight yards on the Hackensask mead
ows, between Jersey City and Newark.
When the workmen entered they found
the dead body of a man in one corner
some distance from the door. There was
a bullet wound over the heart around
which the blood had congealed, and a
physician who examined the body said
the man had been dead at least six hours.
The car had left the meadow yards
about four clock in the morning, and it
was evident that the man was dead when
placed in the car Moreover, there were
evidences Of the body having been drag
ged over the floor of the car from the
door to the corner in which it was found.
BODY IDENTIFIED.
Papers found upon the man led to his
identification as f. D. Quackenbush, a
carpenter, forty-fve years old, of Cuban
street, Brooklyn. His relatives stated
that Quackenbush left his home on the
night of July 3 to go to a meeting Of
carpenters lodge to which he belonged.
He expected to pay some dues and had
a considerable amount of money with
him besides a gold watch and chain.
When the body was found in the freight
car both the watch and the money were
missing.
j. c. Albright, coroner of Perth AM
boy, took charge of the case, and not
deening an inquest necessary, issued
death certificate and turned the body over
to Quackenbush's relatives. They en-
gagged South Amboy undertaken named
John j. Scully, who prepared the body
for burial and sent it to Brooklyn.
STATE BOARDS INQUIRY.
One day last week Clerk Cornelius ].
Rooney of the County Board of Health
received a communication from the State
Board of Health calling attention to the
fact that a death certificate for Quack-
enbush had been received at its office
from Middlesex County, in which the
place of death was given as Jersey City,
and asked for any particulars in the
case which might be in the possession Of
the Hudson County authorities.
That was the first intimation which
Mr. Rooney had of the case and he so
informed the State Board. He, however,
investigated the matter but could learn
no particulars of the case beyond what
was known to the South Amboy authori-
ties. The State Board of Health then
communicated with Prosecutor Voor-
hees Of Middlesex, who, in turn, sent the
request for an investigation to Proseeu-
tor Erwin. Mr.. Erwin has turned the
matter over to Chief Of Police Benjamin
Murphy, of this city. who will make an
investigation and endeavor to clear up
the mystery.

made by President Ringle of the Board
of Finance that the tax rate next year
will be S2S per thousand of ratables and
that the Tax Board will have to find
$99.000,000 ratables.
