.BETz'S BRAVERY
Tackles Unwelcome Visit
or and Holds Him for
the Police.

Arthur Betz, SON of the millionaire
brewer and parner Of Henry Lembeck,
John Betz, proved himself a courageous
young man last night
Young Mr.. Betz, who is employed in
the Hudson County National Bank and
who resides with his widowed mother and
sisters at No. 243 Eighth street was in his
room last night preparing to retire when
he heard noise in the rear of the house.
It sounded as though someone WAS trying
to force an entrance into the house
through one of the rear parlor windows.
Removing police whistle from cab
met in his room Mr.. Betz started down
stairs for the back parlor.
MET THE BURGLAR.
He opened the door and was confront
ed by burly looking man. The stranger
started towards the open window to
make his escape. Mr. Betz shouted to
him to stand or he would shoot and then
blew the whistle. He caught the intrud-
er by the collar as he was about to climb
through the window, and dragged him
back into the parlor. A shuttle ensued
between the two during which some val
liable bric-a-brac was smashed. The
sound of the police whistle was heard
by Policeman Duffett, who was standing
at the corner of Jersey avenue and
Eighth street. He ran across Eighth
street in the direction of the sound of the
whistle. When he neared the Betz house
he found Mrs. Betz and her daughters
standing at the front stoop ready to call
for the police.
COP TO THE RESCUE.
Up the stoop rushed Duffett, through
the hall and into the back parlof. where
young Mr.. Betz and the intruder were
rolling about on the floor. He took hold
of the stranger by the collar and yanked
him on his feet. Placing him under ar
pest egtook him to the Seventh street
station house, where the burglar said
he was Robert Hawthorne, twenty-eight
years old, of No. 139 Market street.
Philadelphia.
TELLS HOW HE GOT IN.
When questioned Hawthorne said:-
i got into that house by forcing
back parlor window with garden spade
found in the back yard. / climbed
onto an extension to get in.''
What did you intend to do il you
We're notDeaught p he was asked.
Il was going to steal anything could
put my hands on he replied. Il was
only inside the honse minute or two
when discovered
The prisoner was searched but did not
have anything on his person. He said
he landed in Jersey City from Buffalo
at four o'clock.
HAS DONE TIME.
Hawthorne has evidently served time
in prison because his undergarments
have prison marks on them. Young Mr..
Betz when asked by a reporter for .'The
News if he was not afraid at first to
tackle the thief, said:-
Il did not fear him at ALL l meant
to hold him and did so until the offieer
came"
Hawthorne reached the rear of the
Betz home by jumping from the front
stoop of Contractor NJ. T. Connolly's
house on Eighth street
Hawthorne was arraigned this morn
ing before Police Justice Hoos in the
First Criminal Court and held in $3.50 to
await the action of the Grand Jury.

confidence of the3country because its laws
protect them in their rights.
OUR SHARE OF IT.
In the past ten years the corporations
organized under our beneficellt laws have
paid the State the large sum of $13, ,0O0.-
600, and for the last three years the
payments have averaged 2,227 ,346.
These corporations represent every con-
ceivable industry. Their capitalization
is many billions, and the number of
stockholders are hundreds of thousands.
if not millions. We have taken their
money and sold them the charters under
which they do their business. We con-
tinue TO take their money each year in
the shape of taxes, for which We give
them the continued protection of our
laws. The State has its obligations to
these stockholders. Let us live up TO
them frankly and manfully, and not be
ashamed of being honest.
Some carping critic who misreads my
words, will say that there is something
of more value to the State than money.
That is what am trying to make clear.
There is honesty and high purpose and
the courage Of conviction, hidden, alas,
at times, but exists. The courage TO
stand firmly ON principle and do right,
whether it is for the private individual,
the corporation or the State. Do not let
us be disturbed by the clamor of the
demagogue, or the speeches Of those
who, in these days Of magnificent and
unexampled prosperity needlessly alarm
the people as to the power of the nation
to deal adequately with its own, but
let us patiently and constantly do our
duty, first to the people of the State
and then to those who have sought the
protection of the State,- as. that duty
shall be made clear.
INDEMNITY. BONDS.
call your attention to the advisability
of passing law requiring litigants who
seek to enjoin corporations or others in
the State from carrying out plans adopt
ed by them, to give bond of indemnity
to the party attacked in such sum as
the Chancellor shall deem proper, in case
it be finally determined that the appli-
cant for the injunction was not entitled
to the writ. am informed such 4 law
exists in New York State. The matter
is important, and hope the Legislature
win take such action as in its Judgment
it may deem wise

Reception at the City Hall.

Michael F. Kallaher, former clerk of
the Board of Finance, visited the City

clerk. He was thoroughly familiar with
every detail of the work Of the various
departments and his services were highly
appreciated by the Finance Commits
sioners.
He is one of the very few Democrats
who enjoy the distinction of having been
continued in Office by a Republican
Board.

A HUGE CAMPAIGN FUND

The feature of Governor Murphy's first
annual message to the Legislature, al
though it is buried away at the very end
is long and elaborate defence of the
trusts. The whole document makes
about nineteen pages of large type--be-
ing one of the shortest messages on rec
ord-and of them nearly six are devoted
to defence of the corporations.
This portion of the message, in full, is
as follows:-
There has been so much discussion of
late on the subject of trusts, and New
Jersey is so largely interested in the mat
ter by reason of the large number of cor
porations organized under her new laws,
that / deem it advisable to refer to it.
The relations of our state to the inter-
ests involved are so intimate, and the
pablic mind has for many points of view
hecn SO misdirected, that | think frank
discussion for the position of New Jersey
to the general question is desirable at
this time. and if have left for the close
of my. message what have / to say on
this question, it is not because think it
last in Importance.
The legislation of this State for the
past thirty years has been so wise and has
so won the confidence of the public, that
corporations to the number of many
thousands have taken advantage of its
laws to incorporate under them. 1t is
the impression of some who are ignorant
Of the facts that the corporation laws of
New Jersey are especially liberal and
that corporations organized under them
have unusual and perhaps unwise pow
I'll. This is not so. The New Jersey law
recognizes the right of property to pro-
te1iion. 1t allows no oppression of the
people by the corporation. 1t allows no
unjust assault upon the corporation by
the people to be effective 1t carefully
and justly guards the interest of both.
Most Of its features have been passed up
on by the courts, than whom none stand
higher in the land for probity and learn
ing.
PUBLIC OPINION.
And quite as important as the law and
the courts, there is back Of both, and sup
parting both, 4 sturdy and vigorous pub
lic sentiment throughout the State that
would quickly can to acesnnt any Legis-
iature that should infringe upon the
rights Of either. Corporations that want
to do a dishonest business have 4 hard

my Chicago policeman. The open
smiling mouth showed a threatening
row of white teeth that was shaded
by short mustache. The resemblance
to my gigantic policeman was a strik-
ing one, only the helmet was lacking,
but | knew who stood before me. Mr..
Roosevelt stepped rapidly to me and
said: Are you the famous doctor of
Vienna? Let me shake hands with
you. Just this morning Mrs. Roose-
welt spoke of you and the president
jovially shook my hand. l could not
help laughing in his face, although It
was not proper. He not only looked
like my Chicago friend, but he even
used the same greeting. The inter
view was quite unceremonious. One
of the gentlemen present, high dig
nitary, kept one hand concealed in his
trousers pocket, and another dignitary
had placed his knee on a chair. That
struck me as very surprising. Mr..
Roosevelt related to me in the kindest
manner of one of the boys of his dead
brother, who was also a doctor, and
the history of his family"

The purchase"

Mr.. Charles M. Harvey gives in the
current Worlds Work some amazing
statistics as to the bigness and value
OF our middle west and south-the
Louisiana purchase from Napoleon.
The thirteen original states cover
S20,944 square miles; the purchase
covers $4,000 square miles. All
Europe except Russia and Scandinavia
is only 1,237,667 miles,
Half a billion dollars worth of corn
was raised on the purchase in 1902
4S per cent. of the product of the
whole country. More than half of the
wheat crop and SO per cent. of its oat
crop were raised in this territory.
Missouri alone has more people
than had the thirteen colonies that
revolted from Britain Colorado. a
part of the purchase, alone produced
last year $2S,000,0OO in gold, more
than the entire territory of the United
States had produced from the landing
of Cabot to the strike at Suffers Mil!
in 1S4S. Montana alone has added
$1,000, 900 to the worlds wealth of
metals.
The corn yield of one state. Iowa,
for the single year 1902 would pay
six times over the price we paid Ma.

FACTS ABOUT FOLKS.

Here are some results" stated by
DR.. Arthur Macdonald as facts estab-
lished by the observation of scientists
and printed in a government .docu-
ment:
First born children exceed later born
in statute and weight
Healthy men ought to weigh an ad-
ditional five pounds for every inch in
height beyond 81 inches, at which
height they ought to weight 12O
pounds.
Boys grow more regularly than girls.
Children born in summer are taller
than those born in winter.
Dull children are lighter and precG
cious children heavier than the aver
age child.
Urban life decreases stature from
five years of age on.
Truant boys are inferior in weight,
height and chest girth to boys in gen.
eral.
Red and yellow are visible at great
er distances than green and blue
The memory which acts quickest
acts best.
Great men, though often absent
minded, have strong memories on the
| lines of their interests.
Sweet is tasted best on the tip of the
tongue; sour on the edge, and bitter at
| the base.
Moral action in child life is more a
matter of imitation than intellect
Girls show less interest in material
things than boys, and admire the aes-
thetic more.
Rapid readers do their work bet
ter, as well as in less time, and retain
more of the substance of what is
read, than slow readers.
Blushing comes from shyness and
fear; is unnatural and morbid, and is
greater in women than in men.
In estimation of measurement men
are more accurate than women.
Those who have endured the most
hardship in life are usually the least
sensitive to pain.
Dull children are the most unruly
and unruly children are the dullest.
