MUCH CLOTHING STOLEN
IN ACADEMY ST. SHOP,

$500 Worth Of Booty Taken,
Says Gaubard.

Over $500 worth of clothing was
stolen last night or early this morn
ing from the tailor shop of Isadore
Graubard, % Academy street. in the
central part of the city.
The robbery was not discovered until
this morning, when the proprietor of
the place appeared.
Nearly all of the clothing on the lower
floor was taken, and some of the stock
on the second floor was also missing.
When Gaubard examined his stock he
found that fifteen pairs of trousers, ten
coats and two suits had been taken by
the thieves.
AS soon as he discovered the theft he
sent word to the police of the First
Precinct. Plainclothesmen Troy and
King investigated and found that the
robbers had gone to the rear Of the
shop through an aileyway leading from
Halsey street and then jumped over a
high brick wall.
A rear window was forced open, ap-
parently with jimmy, as there were
marks of an instrument of this kind on
the sills. Despite the precaution taken
by Gaubard to prevent burglars from
entering his store, entrance was gained
lust the same, heavy oak bar having
been forced out of its place on the in
side of the window.
Detective Sergeant Kuhn, of head
quarters, who was detailed on the case,
found an old coat in the place.

working this morning.
Mr.. Smaydzian said that his sons were in
the habit Of going out In the launch every
Sunday, and that they frequently. took
friends with them but always had returned
early In the evening. He was at loss to
account for their staying away all night
but took some consolation in the fact that
no accidents had been reported during the

was not so sanguine and fears the worst
She said that she did not remember her
sons saying anything about having life

she knew this was against marine regula-

papers about boats being held up for nom

PRIEST URGES
FIGHT FOR
REFORM
Cast Into the Sea With
Your Votes Enemies of
Decency'- '--Father Fidelis.

"Do not vote for men whom you
know are violators Of the law" said
Father Fidelis to the members of the
Sacred Heart and Holy Name Society
yesterday afternoon at st. Johns r.
c. Church, in Mulberry street, yester-
day afternoon, because we are the
laughing stock of European govern
ments for the way the laws of this
country are violated"
The members of the society, about $50
all told, received holy communion in a
body at the 7 o'clock mass in the morn
Ing. and in the afternoon repaired to
the church againrto recite the office of
the society.
Father Fidelis said that they had re-
ceived special grace. and that they
should guard as carefully as possible
and treasure 1t as carefully as the
man who guarded his millions of dol
lars.
You men are members Of a society
which the church holds most dear, and
each one of you must be good Catholics
In order to be members of It," said Father
Fidelis, 'and as good Catholics you must
uphold the laws Of our country. as the
Catholic Church insists, that the laws of
the land should be upheld.
I'm few days you shall be called upon
to vote for candidates for Office who must
see that the laws are enforced, but be
very careful that you do not vote for men
whom you know are violators. because
they are the worst enemies that the coun-
try has today. when you go to the polls
say a little prayer that God may give you
wisdom INTO vote for the right man.
I'VE have too many in Office today who
have no more respect for the laws on the
statute books that the paper on which
they are printed.
Such men would sit aside and see the
flag of our klorious country trampled
upon, as it was In the days of the Revo-
lutionary War.
do YOU men. like our forefathers did,
cast into the sea with your votes on cleo
ton day. those kind citizens would seek to
destroy every semblance Of decent gov
ernment and God will reward you by un-
told blessings not alone to yourselves,
but also on your families and those who
would like to see these United States a
grand and glorious country"

shop.
Pennington, according to the police, is
the son of preacher, though he Is known
to worlyas an electrician. He is said now
to be in Camden preaching the gospel.
Pennington was responsible for the rob-
berry. according to the police. and that he
is lad of unusual talents is evident from
the spectacular manner in which he at
tempted to throw off suspicion.
Pennington rushed into the bakery,
where he was employed part of the -time
that Friday, and shouted there was bur
glar in the rear of the yard. Selling a
pistol he gave chase to the supposed fleeing

Developments in the Republican
ranks within the last few days are
responsible for the announcement in
some quarters today that Congressman
Charles N. Fowler would probably be
the Republican nominee for Governor
at the State convention next week,
though the Essex adherents of Judge
]. Franklin Fort and Sheriff Frank
H. Sommer think that il they can carry
the county for either, they can win at
the convention.
Congressman Fowler's name was
mentioned recently in connection with
the gubernatorial race as "feeler,"
and evidently it has not met any great
obstacle. He is put forward by friends
who think he will have the inside track
with Fort and Sommer fighting here.
The State leaders do not think Sommer
has any chance Of nomination, and
that Judge Fort would not be strong
enough.
Justice Fort. 1t is expected, will have
| two-thirds of the Essex delegation, and
some of the South Jersey delegations
The leaders say the Essex mans full
strength wifi be sufficient to get the
nomination, and Congressman Fowler,
they calculate, will be a man upon
whom the different split delegations
may unite.
Alfred N. Dalrymple Of the Essex
County Republican Committee, was
still out for Justice Fort today.
According to the reports I have re-
ceived, Justice Fort will have two
thirds of the Essex delegates"
''Do you think he will get the NOM
ination?"
Eyes, unles tidal wave happens in
convention
Senator Everett Colby was also con-
fident of the success of Sheriff Frank
H. Sommer.
Things look fine now," he said. II
think the primaries will furnish big
surprise for those who have given us
no chance"
Congressman Fowler, the latest
prominent candidate, is a banker. He
is 55 years old, a Yale graduate and a
lawyer. He has been active in poll
tics in Union County for the last twen-
ty years He is now serving his sew

David A. Mcintyre, president of the
Board of Education, who is Ill at Belmar
announced today that he was out of the
race for reelection to the board. The state
ment was made In a communication to the
EVENING STAR today
While President Mcintyre gave no reason
in his letter for his withdrawal, It is under
stood that his health Is responsible. He
has been I'll for sometime. suffering with
neuralgia Of the brain, and has been or
dered to take good rest
President Mcintyre in his letter asks
that his Yrlends support former Commits
sioner Edward Schoen for the Office he
aspired to before his physical condition
compelled him to quit.
Mr.. Schoen was member OF the School
Board from the Fourteenth Ward and was
its vice-president. The redistricting of the
city. however. put him In the Ninth
Ward.
Charles D.. IIalstead is the Colby candi-
date in the Ninth Ward. and is making
spirited campaign for the nomination
The fight Is now. Of course, since Mr.
McIntxres withdrawal. between Mr.
6choen and Mr.. Haistead.
Mr.. McIntyre's letter to the EVENING
STAR is as follows:
To the Editor OF the Evening StarN
''Dear Sire-Although my name appears
on the primary ticket in the Ninth Ward
for the Office of School Commissioner,
desire that my friends should not vote fo1
me for that office.
1T understand that there are two other
candidates. so that the ward will have
representation. In this connection I de-
sire to commend to the voters Mr.. Edward
Schoen, for the reason that he served on
the board two years and displayed inde-
pendence and ability, and devoted q great
deal of time to the duties of the office. The
other candidate. Mr.. Halstead. is at the
present time a federal officeholder, and, as
I understand the civlEservice rules, is pro-
hibtted from taking In active part in poll
tics. I should suppose that he would be
prevented from serving unless he gave up
his present position. In addition to this, l
cannot see how he oan give the necessary
time to the office. because his business re-
quires his constant time In New York
City.
''I think 1t is only fair to the voters of
the Ninth Ward that they be made ac-
quainted with these facts.
Very truly yours. .
