PATERsoN's FUGITIVE MAYOR.
Embezzler of $500, 900 Traced to Home
of Friend in Australia

William Henry Belcher, mayor of Pater-
son. N. j., fugitive from justice and en-
bezzer of more than $500, 900 from financial
institutions, has been located at Yebr!,
Queensland, Australia. There is little doubt
but that he is residing there with his old
friend, James Robertson, a former Pater-
sonian, who left home under similar cir
cumstances more than fifteen years ago.
Belcher IS known to have written TO his
friend at least twice a month during the
last two years he was in New Jersey. He
mailed letter at Yebri a week before he
became a fugitive.
Leaving Paterson July 81 last, Belcher is
known to have boarded train at Little
Falls. three miles from Paterson. At New
ark he boarded a train for the west, arriv-
There he is known to have met several
friends who informed him of the develop
ments at his former home
He had shaver his mustache and other
wise attempted to disguise himself.
BeIcher passed several days al San Diego,
and this fact assisted him in defeating an
attempted capture at the instigation OF Cal
ifornia officials when the ship on which ne
had engaged passage as William H. Pitch
err was searched at San Francisco ana
Honolulu.

friends to prove his identity. and they did
so, claiming him to be business man OF

Honolulu, informing him of the suspicious
of the local authorities.
Again the vessel was stopped. Belcher
had made a friend on shpboard. or took a
confederate with him from San Diego. This
man informed the authorities the man they
had picked out as Belcher was q San Diego

more escaped arrest.

home of his friend, Robertson. short dis
lance inland.
When he left Paterson Belcher Is known
to have had $500. This amount was raised
the day he left the city in loans from
friends. He is also thought to have sent
sums ranging from 81 500 to $1,000 at vari-
Gus times TO his Australian friend.

because of the lack of facilities for better

most of our ancestors who first emigrated
to America had no education no money, or
no influence, they had the pure courage OF
Irish hearts, and today have descendants
who rank among the foremost and most

WELCOMING GREETING.
Hibernians Give Reception to
DR.. D. ]. Stafford.
LARGE ATTENDANCE
SEVERAL ADDRESSES EXPRESS
I'VE OF HIGH ESTEEM.
DR.. Stafford Responds, Speaking Feel
ingly of the Sentiments to Which
He Had Listened.

Hundreds of members of the Ancient Or
der of Hibernians gathered in Carroll Hall
at o'clock yesterday afternoon to tender
a reception to the Rev Dennis j. Stafford,
pastor of st. Patrick's Church. and state
chaplain of the A o. H. of the District of
Columbia, in honor of his recent safe re-
turn from Europe. The reception was held
under the auspices of Division No. 2. of
which DR.. Stafford is an active member, but
scores of representatives from every other
division in the District were present, and the
rector of ST. Patricks has probably never
received a more enthusiastic welcome than
that which was extended to him yesterday
afternoon.
The affair was spontaneous proof of the
high esteem and affection in which DR.. STAFF
ford is held by the members of the ancient
order. 1t was confined to the male mem
be-s of the society, and the warmth of the
welcome elected from him an address
markable for it's force, pathos and elo-
cuence.
The reception to Dr. Stafford followed a
regular meeting of Division No. 2, and
when all things were in readiness a COM
mittee of escort consisting of John ]. Do
Ian. James D. McConville, D. F. Sullivan,
Patrick Donohue and John ]. Minihan,
proceeded to the rectory and escorted DR..
Stafford to the hall, where he was received
with most enthusiastic demonstration, the
applause lasting several minutes.
Patrick j. Haltigan, president of Division
No. =, occupied the chair and delivered the
opening address, which rendered on behalf
of the division the warmest congratulations
to the rector on his safe return, and ex-
pressed the earnest gratitude of the men,
bers that the reverend doctor is once again
in the land of the free and the home of
the brave"

Mr.. Lawson has a hadit of pro-
missing more than the people ex-
pect him to perform, but it must
be admitted that he has done
enough to justify his vigorous de-
nunciations of predatory trusts
and pools. He may not succeed
in throwing the Standard Oil
company and three big life in
surance institutions into receiver
slips, but the general agitation
that his tempestuous onslaughts
tend SO promote will result in pub
lie good. The people are disposed
to have more confidence in n re-
formed gambler than they have in
a gambler who continues to sit in
and merely attacks the worst
abuses of the game. Mr.. Lawson
is well enough fixed to withdraw
from "frenzied finance" and de.
vote his time and n good deal OF
his fortune to the correction Of

NOVEL STRIKE METHODS
Known as "Psssive Resistance" EN-
pIoyed on Vienna Railroads.

Vienna, Nov. 9.-The passive resist
ance" strike movement became effect
i've on the railroads, today, at the vi
enncse stations. Already the traffic de-
lays are serious. Reports from Bohe-
mia say the situation is serious and
rapidly growing worse. The govern
ment is preparing for possible disor-
ders. Troops are being got in readi-
ness for active service and further re-
Inducements are being sent to Prague.
where a general strike is threatened in
support of the demand for universal
suffrage.
The ministry of communications is
revising the railroad regulations in the
hope of breaking down the passive
resistance" movement. Among the ad-
vantages to the railroad men /of this
novel system of striking is that they
still draw pay and cannot be removed,
as theoretically their attitude is cor
rect The railroad men or Austria are
poorly paid. A shunter gets about $3.50
year, and brakemen and conductors
$500 and $3.50 respectively. 1t is esti-
mated that the increase of 20 per cent.
demanded will increase the payrolls by
s., 900, 900. The men also demand short
err hours.

aminer was appointed to investigate.
The latter was given statement show
ing that the amount of due and unpaid
claims on Dec. IA, was $17S,S75. Against
this the company had in cash on hand

The special examiner reported that
there was not left enough cash in the
treasury with which to pay claims.
Sec. Arthur j. Bates, of the organiza-
ton, notified the commissioner that
they had decided to withdraw business
from Massachusetts. Therefore the
commissioner would not issue a notice
calling the society to court to show
cause why it should not be excluded
from containing it in this common
wealth.
