]. Schaedel, while expressing sympa-
thy with the continuance of the move-
ment, sent regrets.
After the political situation had been
discussed, and the position of the New
Jersey Freie Zeitung, the German Re-
publican newspaper, which has bolted
the State ticket, had been Endorsed,
George Hermann declared that Com
missioner Augustus F. Eggers, the Re-
publican candidate for Board of Works,
had shown himself to have been always
on the side OF liberal citizens and
should receive their support.
President Berla finally suggested that
1t was time to reorganize for the cur
rent campaign and to settle definitely

George Alfred Kirton, English, was II
| the Third Precinct Police Court tins morn
ing. George was arrested yesterday on =
charge of embezzlement, the complainant
in the case being Mrs. William White,
George Alfred's landlady.
Kirton came to this country recently
He was we'll supplied with money when
he arrived. Failing to find a congenlal
lob, he proceeded to separate himself from
his negotiable currency. He originally IN
tended to Join the Rough Riders, he said
as he imagined that they must enjoy a
cinch. hut he was chagrlned upon landing
here when he heard that they had dis
banded. Anyway, he went broke and Sat
urdav morning he conhded that fact to his
landlady.
The landlady. being a good business
woman, wished to give Kirton a little more
standing in the house than the hatrack
and so gave him an appointment as assist
ant to herself. His first duty was to clean
the silver and jewelry, among which was
a gold watch. The Englishman performed
his work conscientiously until he came TO
the watch. II looked good to him, he said,
and it did not take him long to recall that
there was a saloon around the corner at
which he had deposited much Of his saw
ings. Thither he went and 'hocked' the
watch. A few hours later he returned to
his boarding house as drunk as a lord,
When he came to the landlady missed tho
match accused him of it and he confessed.
She then had him arrested.
In court this morning Kirton again con-
fessed. but he said that he merely bor-
rowed the watch and intended to repay
the woman for 1t as soon as he got work.
This Irish cop here" said the English
man, pointing to a stalwart policeman,
arrested me because I'm an Englishman.
The Irish are against us, you know" he
said, addressing the court. Il shall report
the matter TO the English Ambassador. l

Kirton was held in bail of $500 for the
Grand Jury and being unable to raise 1t,

James Fair made a novel defense
when he appeared in the Third Precinct
Police Court this morning, charged
with carrying concealed weapons. The
weapon in this particular case was a
plain, ordinary brick. When he was
arrested, he was carrying It in his hand
partly concealed from view by a red
handkerchief.
He said in answer to the usual ques-
lions that he was not guilty and in
sisted that he would win his case on
technicalities in a higher court of law.
His contention was that inasmuch as
part of the brick was exposed he could
not be tried on the charge preferred
against him. But his lofty genius

He had threatened to strike a man
with the brick and was looking for
him when he vas arrested.

FOR
VOTES FOR
LT.-COL.
Election Of Handley's Sue.
ceSSOr Tonight -- Another
Lively Time to Follow.

One of the most interesting events
in the recent history of the First Regi-
ment, N. G. N. j., will take place to-
night at the election in the board of
officers room to fill the vacancy for
lieutenant-colonel, which rank was
made vacant by the resignation of
L~ieutenant-C Colonel George Handley,
Every field staff and line officer in the
organization will be on the job, and
Judging from the enthusiasm shown by
adherents of the candidates it may be
long after midnight when a choice is
made.
There has been great campaigning
among the officers. and it was said
that today some officers made a house
toulouse anvass in the interest of
their respective candidates.
There was a rumor afoat this MORN
ing hat Colonel Henry w. Freeman,
in a caucus of the officers tonight,
would request them to vote for a can
didate who is said to be the choice
of the headquarters, but the officers
who are close to the colonel say that
he will not stand for any u deal.
Major Arthur Rowland, commanding
the Third Battalion, is said to have
gained ground. His battalion officers
are almost a unit for his election, and
1t is believed that some of the officers
of the first and second battalion will
be with him when the ballots are cast.
Major Charles B. Champlin, of the
Second Battalion, has been promised
the support of his battalion and line
officers, and he is also pulling good
with the officers of the field and staff.
However, it may not at all be a sur
prise If Major John D.. Frazer, COM
manding the First Battalion, hould
win out. He is the Junior major, and
while his campaign is being handled
by the young officers, he also has many
friends among the officers of years
standing in the regiment.
No matter who may be the choice
for the lieutenant-colonelcy, 1t Is GER
tain that another very exciting contest
will follow for the election to the rank
of major, which office will be made
vacant through the promotion of one
of the majors to the lieutenant
colonelcy. There are many candidates
for this place, including Major Orrin
e. Runyon, of Company D, senior cap
tain of the regiment; Captain William
II. Camfeld, of Company B, a young
officer and capable tactician; Captain
Charles ]. Allen, of Company M, one
of the most popular officers OF the or
g%anization; Captain Arthur ID. Mackle
of Company A, and Captain w. val
MUSE, of Company l..

GIRL IMPORTED
HIM ONLY TO

Miss ROsen Paid Russians
Passage, and Now De-
%tectiveS Look for Him.

PATTERSON. Sept. 29.-If all pretty
romances which begin when the girl
and the fellow exchange photographs
and decide to wed without first having
actually seen each other, end the way
that Of Miss Sarah Rosen. of 81 East
Fourth street, New York, diu. NOR.
than one man might AVE a detective
on his trail the way Max S~tricKowsky,
of this city, has.
Romances in everyday life aren't ex-
actly scarce, but everyone doesn't fur
nish a story as entertaining as that told
by Detective Benjamin r. KoDer, OF
this city, who is hunting Strickowsky
down. Miss Rosen was anxious to get
a husband. When. through the GOOD
ness of a mutual friend, she T. MaS
Strickowsky were placed into conlmuni-
cation with each other, the fact thai
an ocean divided them and that
Strickowsky was in Russia, didn't in
terpose n insurmountable obstacle.
They began writing dainty love letters
to each other. Miss Rosen would pen in
her fondest terms her desire to see Stric-
kowsky and Strickowsky would reply in
his most affable Russian that he would
leave the Cars country just as soon as
he had the necessary coin. Pictures were
exchanged, and Miss Rosen was so smitten
with Strickowsky's appearance that she
peeled off enough from her own bank roll
for Strickowsky's passage and sent 1t to
him. :
He arrived on July 8 last, and being
met at the pier by Miss Rosen's folks
was taken to her home. On July 8 the
engagement was publicly announced and
July IS was set as the date for the mar
rage. All went well for a time. Strickow-
sky remained at the Rosen house and
watched Miss Rosen prepare her trous-
seau. Incidentally he made several touches,
got a couple of new suits and fitted him
self ont,in regal fashion. On July II, how
ever, Str~ickowsky left the Rosen house and
hasn't been seen since. On the day the
wedding was to have been celebrated a
postal arrived at the Rosen home which
bore Strickowsky's signature. 1t merely
aid that he had determined to find his
real affinity and that maybe some day
he would pay back all the money adj
vances that had been made to him.
All these facts were recited in a com
plant preferred against Strickowsky in
New York a few days ago. In addition
a deposition was secured from Morris
Becker, who came over from Russia on
| the same boat with S~trickowsky, setting
forth the fact thai Strickowsky had con-
fded to him that he was coming to
America for the express purpose of mar
rying Miss Rosen.
The New York warrant was placed In
the hands of Detective Kober, and he
tracked Strickowskyfto Jersey City and
from there to Newark. Later he got
trace of the man in Passaic, and now he
has located him in this city.

e. T. Fairchild, state superintendent

for publication a copy of the letter
which he sent to D. r. Anthony in re-

regard to a primary for 1908.

that he had prepared no letter. And
