SECRETS OF THE FAYS :
EXPOSED IN COURT.

Some of the mysteries. employed by
John T. and Eva Fay on the stage in
their demonstrations of mind reading
OF the part of Mrs. Fay we're discuss
ed in New York in the supreme court
in proceedings for an injunction re-
straining Herbert Lambourne and
Louis Granet from using the name
THE Fays."
Lambourne and Granet were for
merly employed by the Fays, who
charge that they got possession of
several books explanatory of dreams
by Mrs. Fay. These accusations were
denied by Lambourne and his asso-
ciate, who, in affidavits, proceeded to
reveal the methods adopted by the
Fays.
On one occasion the contents of a
letter written by Alton B. Parker, CIV
ing legal advice to a client, happened
to be in the hand of one of the specta-
tors, and, Lambourne declared, Fay
examined the letter and made a copy
of it, which was transmitted to a per-
son on the stage and telephoned to
Mrs. Fay, who read its contents to the
audience.

HACK HORSES RACED
North PIainfeId Jehus Have Con-
test for $3.50 a Side.

NORTH PLAINFIELD, Sept. Is
This town has added t. it's sporting
reputation by having a real horse
race pulled off in it's boundaries.
Matters in the sporting line have
been in a lethargic state for two
years, or ever since three prize-fghts
G successfully pulled off in Saeng-
erbund Hall, which resulted in over
200 citizens being summoned to
court.
The race was a three-mile contest
over the Mountain avenue macadam
road, between horses owned by
Charles Berry and Peter Seader, two
local hackmen. Each of the jehus
for months past have c%ontended that
his horse was the faster, and many
hot arguments have been the result.
Finally yesterday morning Seader Of
fered to bet Barry $1.50 that his
horse could outrun Barry's animal.
Barry accepted the def and prepara-
lions were made to pull the race off
in Plainfield city. The cops got wind
of the affair, which resulted in the
scene of the race being shifted to
North Plainfield, which is in Somer-
set county.
The race created plenty of excite
ment and at the appointed hour the
thoroughfare was crowded with spec
tators and vehicles. There was not
one of the thirty odd hackmen to be
found in Plainfield and when the
army OF vehicles started off for the
course the entire population of North
Plainfield along the route was unable
to understand the cause of the COM
motion.
The two horses, hitched to hacks,
with their drivers or the seat, were
brought UP to the line and started off
in a jify. The c. had a clear
road and after a hot run in clouds of
dust, Barry's horse shot over the line
first, one length ahead of Seader's.
A lot of money changed hands on the
result.

POLICE ASSN
CONVENTION.
State PatroImen's Benevolent
Association Met in HOboken
Yesterday.

HOBOKEN, Sept. 15.-Newark
will be the scene of the next annual
convention of the State Patrolmen's
Benevolent Association of New Jer-
sey, the meeting to be held on the
second Thursday in September, 1907.
This was decided at the annual ses-'
sion which was held in Odd Fellows
hall, and was attended by patrolmen
from all parts of the state. Only the
delegates, about fifty in all, were al
lowed in the chamber where the con-
vention was held. Representatives
were present from Newark, Paterson,
Trenton, Camden, Jersey City and
other places. fs @
President David Walsh, of this
city, called the meeting to order at
$3.50 pm, and the delegates were
in session for three hours. THE cleo
ton of officers was the first thing to
come up and resulted in John ID. Gar
rison, of Paterson, being selected as
president; John F. Meehan, of New
ark, vice president; w. D.. Campbell,
of Elizabeth, secretary, and Patrick
q "a DoJohlC, tlCdOulCl.
Every effort was made to have Da-
vid Walsh, the outgoing president,
accept a second term, but he declined,
saying that he wanted to give some
n else a chance to hold the high
office.
1t was decided to hold a field day
next year, but the date and place
were not fixed. The policemen of the
state will contest for annual police
championships in all lines of athlet-
les.
Newark had the honor of sending
as its delegates three men who are
undoubtedly the tallest men in the
state. They are John Meehan, who
is six feet four inches tall; John r.
Hubner, who IS six feet five inches,
and Henry Weller, six feet five and a
half inches.
While the convention was in ses-
sion visiting policemen to the number
of about 1000 were entertained with
refreshments in the ball room. The
banquet was held in the evening and
was attended by the delegates and
city officials.
President Walsh was greatly sur
prised when he was called upon to ac-
cept a handsome horseshoe scarf pin
set with twenty-four diamonds of
onehalf karat each. Mayor George
H. Stell made the presentation on be-
half of the members of the Hoboken
department.

KING DID NOT SEND IT.
St. Petersburg Stirred by Discovery
of Fake Wire to Minis Widow.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 15.-Dip.
lomatic and administration circles here
are greatly exercised over the discov.
cry that a telegram purporting to have
been sent by King Edward to the wild.
ow Of General Min three days after the
assassination Of the general at Peter.
hof by Zenadie Konoplianikovo was
not genuine. The message, signed
Edward" was as follows:
Il am overwhelmed by your fright
full bereavement and beg you, madam,
to accept my profound coincidence"
An investigation is in progress to de.
termine the origin and motive of the
telegram. The investigation has been
conducted very quietly on account OF
the effect the disclosure is likely to
have upon the royal %personages con.
cerned.
The motive of the hoax is difficult to
conjecture.
An Odessa dispatch says that a mail
wagon was held up near SimferopOl by
a band of thirty revolutionaries, who
killed the coachman and two postil.
lions and took possession of the mail
pouches. The robbers were after $780,.
600 which it had been intended to for.
ward through the mails, but quite by
accident the sun was no. on this wag.
On. General Kaulbars has now issued
orders for military conveys to accom-.
pany all mail wagons.
