ONCE PROMINENT,
NOW IS IN JAIL
FORMER MAYOR OF PATTERSON,
N. j., HOME AGAIN
After Being a Fugitive From Justice
for a Year He Voluntarily
Returns and Gives Him
self Up
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
PATERSON, N. j., July 30.-Will-
lam II. Belcher, former mayor of this
city, returned to Paterson early today
on a. train on the Erie railroad and
surrendered himself to David Morris,
night Warden at the county Jail.
Belcher was forced by his poverty
to give himself up. He had been work
ing in New York for several days. He
declared he had no means with which
to make restitution of the funds which
he is alleged to have obtained before
he fled from the city and that he was
back to answer the charges against
him.
Belcher has not been out of the
country in spite of rumorS that he
was in the Hawaiian islands and China
Since his disappearance he has wan
dered about the country, obtaining
employment where and when he could
and was finally forced by stress of cir
cumstances to return to the city
where he once had friends.
Missing Year
Belcher has been missing since
August 1, 1906 At the time he left
Paterson a few of his closest friends
were ready to draw him out of a
financial difficulty. They did not
know at the time that he was charged
with having obtained $4,000 by fraud
ulent representation, and that $4,000
was taken from the Manchester Build
ing and Loan association, of which he
was the president.
What Belcher did with the money
he obtained has never been told. He
neither smoked nor drank, was an ex-
emplary family man and had never
gotten into any difficulties. When it
was evident that his absence was to
be permanent an effort was made to
obtain as much as could be raised by
a sale of his property, which included
q good-sized farm near Paterson. A
receiver was appointed few days
after he left Paterson and eventually
the former mayor was adjudged a
bankrupt. His farm was sold June s.
Belcher during the several days he
spent in New York making up his
mind to- return was in the humblest
circumstances. He has aged percepti-
bly, and his hair is gray from the
worry to obtain a livelihood.
Intimates Others Stole
Belcher' said he had been in nearly
every state in the Union since he
went away.
What have you done with the
money you got?" was asked.
THAT is the subject of which I am
not willing to speak at this time" re-
piled Belcher. "If 100000 is gone,
some one else must have got it and
blamed it on me, but shall implicate
on one in what / did"
A dozen indictments have been
found against Belcher in which he is
accused of embezzling $150,000. The
Manchester Building and Loan asso-
citation, of which he was president,
was forced into bankruptcy.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 30.-The full
text of the appeal to the army and
navy made July II b,- the radical
groups of the outlawed parliament in
conjunction with the central commit
tees of the proletariat organizations is
as follows:
Soldiers and sailors-The government
has by imperial command dissolved
parliament, and troops have been as
sembled from all sides to oppress the
people by armed force. The peoples
representatives were elected from your
fathers and brothers in order to lay
before the emperor the needs of the
people and to obtain land I'D liberty.
But the emperor would not listen to
the elected of the people. He hardened
to his former councillors, the grand
dukes, ministers, generals and the
wealthiest of the land owners who did
not want to give up their lands, their
properties or their emoluments
amounting to many thousands Of
roubles) and their irresponsible power
Russia is nov divided into two parts
On one side is the vast ma ajority, all the
peasants and workingmen, all the
poor and oppressed, the best edu-
Gated and the most enlightened
citizens, the best officers and all the
martyrs in the jails, including many
thousands of soldiers and sailors On
the other side is a collection of op-
presSors such as Trepoff, Pobedonotseff
and the Manchurlan generals, who ran
away from the japanese but who fired
upon the people at Moscow, Odessa and
Tohita. the petty government officials,
the police spies and the whole Black
Hundred, and these rely on your
strength to beat down the whole Rus
Sian people.
Violence Is Desired
f. Will you shoot the people, shed the
blood of the people and transfix the
peoples breasts with bayonets. Re-
member that you are the children of
peasants. that you are the children of
the Russian people and that at the
same time in the villages where you
were born your own brothers who are
remaining at home are also demanding
land and liberty and that the govern
ment is sending other troops to shoot
and beat them.
Why will you defend the govern
ment? DO you yourselves live so we'll
Are not you yourselves in a state of

You are in worse state of bondage

which destroy disease germs.
Avoid intoxicants, which destroy
those cells.

To Make Tough Steak Tender

The Italians prepare tough steak
by marinating in olive oil. Instead
of beating the steak to bruise the
flbers, which will allow the juices to
escape, try spreading it with olive
oil about one hour before using. Use
large plate, spread thickly with
the oil and set in the ice box COW
cred. After one side has soaked for
a considerable length of time, turn
and spread the other side with fresh
oil. Broil quickly so that each side
will be thoroughly scared to prevent
the escape of juices, then prop the
5roiler SO as to be q little farther
rom the Are for the slower cooking
through.
Melt some butter In q touch OF
vinegar and pour over the steak for
dressing. This finishes the tender
Ing" process and makes an appetix-
ing gravy. You can substitute lemon
juice for the vinegar and the results
will equally satisfactory.

To trim chiffon with cloth is u
popular fad, and the contrast of the

Little capes reaching only to the
