ALLEGED EMBEzzLER HELD
Frank II. Haines Arraigned for
Robbing Borden Milk Co.

Frank III. Haines, cashier of the Bor-
den Condensed Milk Company, was held
in $500 for9 the Grand Jury this morn
ing by Police Justice Murphy in the Sec
ond Criminal Court, charged with enl-
bezzling 81, 800. On September 2, last,
collections amounting to $3,427. SO We're
handed into him. On September it
wa sfound, from examination of the
books, that he was $500 short in his
accounts. Manager Gus Stoeckel ques-
toned Haines regarding the shortage.
Haines neither denied or admitted his
guilt. Then he disappeared.
Mr.. Stoeckel learned that Haines had
relatives in Sandwich, Cape Cod, Mass,
and told Chief Murphy. Chief Murphy
wrote to Chief of Police Higgins of that
Massachusetts town, telling him of the
facts in the case and forwarding a war
rant for the arrest of Haines, sworn out
by Mr.. Stoeckel, requesting Chief Hig-
gins to apprehend and hold Mr.. Haines,
if possible, for requisition. Chief 'Hig-
gins telegraphed that he had the prisoner
and would be in Jersey City with him
last Friday morning. At midnight
Thursday William II. Speer telephoned
Chief Murphy to the same effect. Chief
Murphy was surprised that Hanies was
not brought before him by Chief Higgins
until two o'clock Friday afternoon He
asked Chief Higgins why he had not ap-i
peared earlier in the day and received
this reply So
s.Well, Chief, I've known this man
ever since he was baby. My family
has known his. family and his family has
known mine for many years. When I
received word that you wanted him de-
cided to gring him on myself. The rea-
son that we did not get here earlier is
that we have been looking around the
city fer bail"

SEIDEl'S DEFENSE.
Man Accused Of Assaulting
Little Margaret Miller Tells
a straightforward
Story.

The stuffy little court room of Recor-
der Murphy, Of West New York, was
crowded almost to suffocation last night
when Loren I. Seidel was arragned up
on a charge of attempting an assault up
on nine-year-old Margaret Miller. The
only two women in the crowd were the
mother of the complainant and the wife
of the defendant. Seidel was arrested
after a long chase Saturday. Some men
heard the girls cries and seeing Seidel
running ran after him. He jumped into
a skif and started to pull across the riv-
| er, but a constable who pursued him in
a tugboat overhauled him before he had
gone very far.
The little girl testified last night that
she was sitting on the Hillside" as the
| slope of the Palisades in that section is
called when Seidel came along and sat
down beside her. He kissed her and
gave her FIVE cents. His subsequent ac-
ton frightened her and she screamed for
her brother, who was playing a short
distance away from her. When she be-
gan to scream, the man ran away
| George Miller, fourteen years old, said
/ that when he heard his sister scream, he
ran to her and she told him what the
man had done to her. She pointed out
Seidel to him, and he started after him
crying for help. Several men joined
him and they persued Seidel to the West
Shore Railroad tracks. There Seidel
seized a small axe from a boy who was
l.standing by and jumping into freight
car threatened to kali anyone who came
near him. He kept the crowd at bay for
1 some time, and then ran down to the riv-
er
/ Robert Humphrey, the detective who
| took Seide1 from the boat told of that oc-
currence. On the way to the police sta
| ton Seidel said that he meant to do the
little girl no harm, that he was very fond
of children. When he came to where the
little girl was sitting, he was tired and
sat down beside her. He talked with
her a WHILE and when he was about to
go away he gave her five cents to buy
candy. She became frightened, Seidel
said, and to reassure her he placed his
hand on her shoulder, whereupon she be-
gan to scream, and started up to CO. He
caught hold of her dress to restrain her
/ which action he had no doubt was inter-
preted wrong. The looks on the faces of
the men who came up frightened him, and
he ran away.
Seidel practically repeated this story,
but the Recorder held him without bail

The great majority Of those who spoke
at the hearing given by the executive
committee of the school committee were
i'm favor Of the re-establishment of the
plan of having special teachers for indi-
yidual instruction in the grammar
schools. Several parents or taxpayers
who spoke were all in favor OF it. and
the only opposition expressed was on the
part OF couple of the grammar masters.
who declared their schools could exist
without this added expense.
1t appeared, from some suggestions that
were made. that II might be possible 10
bring about this change without added
expense, and this idea has been carried
out to a limited extent by Principal Wins
low of the Thayer street school, who,
without increasing his staff of teachers.
has been able 10 make arrangements for
special instruction for pupils who re-
quire unusual attention In some of the
more crowded schools II is doubtful IL
this can be accomplished. but that is
something which the committee will take
time to investigate.

there was a possibility OF getting special
assistance in teaching from the seniors
and post graduates at college, who were
studying at college and anxious TO learn
