Barbara Schroeder, Fifteen
Years Old, the Victim Of
a Bigamist.
SAD STORY OF BETRAYAL
John j. Austin Arrested at
Coney Island Women May
Help Punish Him.

1 John ]. Austin, alias Freeman Ben
nett was arrested yesterday afternoon IN
Coney Island by Detective James Lar
kins Of this city, ON a warrant issued by
Police Justice Hoos in the First Crimi-
nal Court, charging him with assault and
bigamv. He was held to-day by Magis-
trate 1ighe to await extradition to Jer-
sey City, where he will be brought face
TO face with Barbara Schroeder, a
conely 15-year-old girl, living at No. rs
Virginia avenue, on the Heights. who
tells sad story of misplaced confidence
and a blighted life.
In the early part of April one Free
man Bennett opened an insurance office
at No. Is Coles street and advertised
that he had situations for young ladies
who wanted to be insurance solicitors.
Miss Schroeder was anxious to earn her
own living and applied in person for a
job. She is well developed and at
tractive girl and found favor with Ben
nett. He lost no time in making violent
love to her
The girl never had anyone talk so nice
to her before, and reciprocated his af-
fection. He proposed marriage, telling
her that he would endeavor to make her
the happiest girl in this world, and she
unhesitatingly agreed to become his wife.
They were married, the girl says, by the
Rev. Mr. Otto of this city on May 5
and went to Hoboken. After honey
moon lasting twelve days Bennett desert
ed the girl.
She called at Police Headquarters a
few days later and told her sad story.
Detective Larkins was assigned to the
case and after many days search located
Bennett at Coney Island, where he was
employed as an attendant on one of the
numerous chute-the-chutesl Lafkins also
learned that Bennett, under the name of
John ). Austin. had two wives whom he
married before meeting Miss Scroeder.
One Of his wives lives at No. T42 Myr-
~ Avenue, Brooklyn, with her child.
She was married to Austin in 1899 AM
other Brooklyn woman claims to have
been entitled to the name of Mrs. Austin
since 1897.
1t is believed that at least one of the
Brooklyn wives will come to Jersey City
to aid this hapless girl in prosecuting the
chute-the-chute man who so cruelty be-
trayed her.

TRIE:NNIAL SYNOD
Newark Diocesan Body
Makes Small Changes in
Ecclesiastical Legis-
lation.

The legislation adopted at the last
Synod of the Catholic Diosece of Newark
was practically confirmed by the Synod,
which convened in the Chapel of Inn
macnlate Conception at Seton Han Col
lege this morning. There was but one inn
portant change, relating to the small
country parishes. Heretofore, if parish
priests could not secure su Gent
amount of money from fees for perform
ing marriages and officiating at baptisms
to defray the expense of conducting their
rectories, they were obliged TO supply
the deficiency from the Christmas col
lection, and in case that would not su ce
they were compelled TO take whatever
sum was required from their regular
salary, which is $1,000 year. Assistant
pastors are paid $500 per year. Under
the new rule the house expenses may.
when necessary, be met by the pastor
in the same manner as he pays other
church expenses, leaving his salary in
tact. This change is considered a Just
one.
Diocesan Synods are held every three
years. consequently this was the first

TELEGRAPH WAR
Western Union Company
Will Fight P. r. RS
Contract to Postal.

1t is said that the Western Union Com
pany will not allow its contract with the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company to be
given ever to the Postal Telegraph Cons
pany without a long and bitter fight.
Counsel for the Western Union are now,
it is said by a good authority, preparing
papers for an injunction to restrain the
Postal Company from operating on the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company's lines.
1t is also proposed to attack the validity
of the recently awarded contract to the
Postal Company on the ground that it
has no termination clause, and is there
fore virtually perpetual.
The officers of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road believe that tile Western Union
Company has no case, and that every
thing has been done in conformity with
the terms of the agreement between the
two companies which expired last fall.
The transfer of the business to the
Postal means the Western Union will
have to take down its poles and wires
that are ON the railroads right of way,
and take to the highways or its own
right of way.
The Western Union has. been notified
to remove its property from the rail
roads premises by December.
1t was stated by Mr.. Baker that his
company would not buy any of the old
company's poles or lines nor purchase
its larger offices.

ANGELS WINGS DROOP
The Defiant Commish Thinks
Better of His Intention
to Fight Public
Opinion.
@THE nEUs's !" GREAT VICTORY
Question Still Remains Why
So Much Republican Zeal
for the Firm Who are
Not Mr.. Angels
Clients.

Fire Commissioner Frank Angel, who
denies being counsel for the oil firm Of
Hersh a loung, announces now that
the tank which is to be built in Lafayette
viii be below instead of above ground.
This is victory for those property
owners of Lafayette who opposed the
tank, and for ..The News" which took
up the battle in the interest of life and
property. But the announcement that
the tank will be sunken m the ground
is made directly by Messrs. Herst &
Young, and Mr.. Angels neighbors are
wondering what it is that gives him the
right to talk or Herst & Young and
tell what their plans are. No one save
Mr.. Angel mas heard of the change in the
plans for building the tank.
One of the citizens of Lafayette who
has taken a dep interest in the contro-
versy, said this morning.:
y have watched with great interest
all that has been done and said on both
sides over this tank, and must say
that Commissioner Angel does not show
to particularly good advantage.
1T would be interesting to know where
Mr.. Angel gets all his authority. I have
noticed that Angel loves to use that
pronoun i great deal. He seems to
think he is the whole thing in the Fire
Board. He says that if he is satisfied
permits will be granted. Isn't anyone
else to be satisfied? Then that was a
rather mysterious test that was made for
his benefit 1t would be interesting to
know the details surrounding that test.
But anyone ever see anything so
clever as the way commissioner Niblett
got into the middle OF the rumpus where
lie can be seen. His threat against Mr.
Hauck is on par with Angels method
and both are fine specimens of their party
and its methods"

WOULD KIDNAP
Divorced Father Tries TO.
Take His Children
From the Frank

TEACHERS RESIST HIM
Draw the Girls Away and
Spirit Them Off by Way
OF the Fire Escape.

The teachers and pupils Of the Franz
lin Public School, Gutenberg, were
thrown into a high state of excitement
yesterday over bold attempt at kid
mapping made upon two of the school
children. The kidnapper, although un-
successful, had laid his plans well and
it was only the combined efforts of the
teachers that prevented the children from
being dragged from the school.
The; intended victims were Philippine
and Barbara Lessner, aged IS and 8
years. respectively. They are the daush-
ters Of Clarence Lessner, who is said
to be wealthy New York merchanr,
Family troubles arose among the Less
nefs nine years ago, when after a course
of litigation in, the New York courts.
Lessner and his wife separated. The
court, notwithstanding many protes-s
from Lessner, gave the children into the
care of the mother AIRS. Lessner moved
to Gutenberg with the children two
years ago. Lesned visited the house on
numerous occasions and tried to per-
suade the children TO go away with
him, but they refused.
Yesterday morning at 1920 o'clock a
coach stopped on the Bulls Ferry Road
about half a block from the Franklin
Public School A man attired in silk
hat and dark clothes alighted and rang
the school doorbell The man gave u boy
who answered the bell ten cents, and
told him to go tell Philippine and Bar
bara Lessner that their mother had sent
a man after them.
Philippine is in Miss Green's class and
Barbara is in Miss Behrman's Both
Miss Gree nand Miss Behman sent word
for the maR to wait in the hall upstairs.
Barbara was the first to reach the hail.
The man at once seized her by the arm
and told her she would have to 90 away
with him. Barbara was so frightened she
could not speak Philippine entered the
haIl moment later As soon as she
caught sight of the men she screamed
and ran back to her class room. Sew
eral teachers rushed to the hall and
found the father still holding fast to
Barbara. The man demanded the chill

building without them. He claimed to
be their father, but the children said
he was not

plenty of grit. 1t did not take her long
to compel the man TO release the child.
She then summoned Principal Boughton,
who ordered the stranger to leave the
building. The man absolutely refused to
leave the building, and as there is no
police force in Gutenberg he had his
own way. He went down to the lower
hall and remained thehre.
Meanwhile the teachers were in a
quandary as to how to get the children
from the building. Finally they thought
of plan There is a FIRE escape in the
rear an dthe children were safely taken
down it to the yard below They We're
then taken home. The would-be kid
napper remained on watch at the front
door until Miss Scott informed him tlfat
the children were not in the building.
Even then he would not leave until he
satisfied himself by going through the
schoolhouSe.
