MONTCLAIR, Oct. ia strange
mar who for the last few months
has been living in a log cabin at Wes-
ton Mills, neal New Brunswick, and
who suddenly disappeared about a

Benjamin Pettis, the alleged murder
Ell of Mrs. Hannah B. Ross at Mont

answers the description of the man
suspected of killing the aged widow,
robbing the house and then setting

Tunison, after hearing a description
of the camper, expressed the belief

TEACHERS COURSE
MADE UP OF STARS.
Four Events For the Winter Plan
ned by the Teachers AS
ISOLATION.

Pamphlets describing the four diff
ferent events of the teachers course
have been distributed.
The first event will be a recital by
Charles T. Grilley and Van Veachton
Rogers. Charles r. Grilley is we'll
known for his representations and
original selections and Mr.. Rogers is
a genius on the harp.
Following the Rogers-Grilley re-
cital the Lyric Glee Club will pre-
sent a repertoire of difficult classic
selections and humorous and comic
songs. Arthur Scott, nrst tenor, has
a beautiful voice, having sung
oratorio and opera before entering
into the quartette work.
Alvin Jones, second tenor, pos
sesses a sweet voice, displaying quail
ity and purity of tone which wins
the heart of the audience.
Ray Bartholomew has a rich bari
tone voice. He has studied with the
best instructors in this country and
his solos never fail to please the
most critical audience.
Tom c. Polk, the manager of the
Lyric Glee Club, has had much eX-
p%erience in quartet work and he pos
sesses a voice full of richness and
volume.
Frank Dixon is the youngest son
of preachers orators, father and three
sons. His themes are vital. He
stands at the storm-center of pro-
gressive thought and speaks with
authority. He is simple, direct and
captivating in his style and his
audience grasp in a moment the re-
suits of years of careful toll. -.
DR.. Edward Burton Mcdowell, lee
turer and traveller and correspond
ent, will give stories of travel illus
trated by original nation pictures
and lantern slides in colors. Pan
m in picture and prose will be his
subject. The story of the Isthmian
canal from the commencement of the
work by the French engineers down
to the the present time is a
of squandered millions, incompe-
tency and corruption which tells like
fiction, but a fiction which the Am
erican nation is today turning into
facts.
DR.. Mcdowell has just returned
from the Isthmus where he has stud
led the work now in progress on the
canal and the general conditions ex-
listing in the new republic of Pan
anna.

vestigation of the books of the Enter

An hour before the announcement of

bank, said:
1T has been brought out that Mr..
Clark loaned more than 100000 to
former State Senator William II. An
drews. This money is part of the
state deposits in our bank. Other
loans have been made that show con
clusively that Clark was involved
deeply with politicians. This was I'M
known to me. Francis j. florence
borrowed some money. How much l
cannot say"
The bank has state deposits which
will amount to about 100000, of which
$39S.000 is in the checking or active
account and the rest in state sinking
funds.
Mr.. Gwinner in his statment said:
Nearly 100000 of the 100000 state

state politicians. w. II. Andrews has
borrowed nearly 100000 and Frank
j. Torrance has borrowed considerable.

ed MatOs in Venezuela.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-Amzi T.
Barber, one time president of the Ma.
tional Asphalt company, testified in the
ease of the United States of Venezuela
against the New York and Bermude2
Asphalt company that to the best OF
his knowledge and belief that com
pany did contribute materially to the
revolution organized in 1901 by Gen
eral Manuel A. Matos against the
Venezuelan government.
The testimony practically confirmed
that of General Francis V. Greene of
New York.
Mr.. Barber exonerated General
Greene from all connection with the
payment of. money in aid of the Matos
revolutionary movement and express
ed the belief that General Greene
knew nothing about such payment Of
money until subsequent to the trans
action. He was induced to make this
statement, he said. by conversations he
had had with General Greene, which
convinced the witness of General
Greene's innocence of any completely
in the transactions between the New
York and Bermudez Asphalt company
and the Matos revolutionists.
Mr.. Barber testified that he resign
ed as president of the National As
phalt company on Jan. 3, 1901, 'subse-
q~uently sold all his stock and now
had no interest in the company or in
its successor, the General Asphalt COM
pany. He declared that subsequent to
his resignation certain officers of the
National Asphalt company, of the New
Trinidad Lake Asphalt company and
of the New York and Berinudez As
phalt company did contribute on behalf
of the companies large sums of money
to General Matos or to his associates
to aid Il revolution against the consti-
tuted government Of Venezuela and
that they furnished the money to pur-
chase, arm and equip the steamship
called the Ban RICH and further fur
nished money to Matos or to his as
sociates with which to purchase Il
large quantity of arms and ammuni-
ton which were conveyed By the
steamer Ban RICH to the adherents OF
Matos.
Mr.. Barber quoted George w. Elkins,
who in 1901 was Il director of both the
National and Bermudez companies, as
that the New York and Bermu-
dez company did assist the Matos rev
o~lutionists with money and contribu-
