GOING HOME TO Die
INJURED ITALIAN YOUTH TO
SAIL FOR ITALY.
Libero Scassero Has Been in St. Michael's
Hospital Since June with
Dislocation of Spine.

Libero Scassero, an 1S-year-old Italian
boy, who has been confined In st. Mich
ael's Hospital since June /, suffering from
a dislocation of the spine, which has de-
veloped paralysis, has left that institution
and intends to sail for his native Italy
tomorrow, in order. he says, to say good
by to his mother and sisters before he
dies The boy is still in a critical condi-
tion, and physicians who have examined
him do not believe that he will survive
the journey across the ocean.
The boy came to this country about two
years ago and obtained employment In a
brick kiln In Rock Hills. where his brother,
Pasquale, still works. On May rs the boy
went out to pick cherries and had climbed
to branch in a tree about forty feet from
the ground. when he fell. Ever since he
has been at the hospital he has been sup
ported by his brother the cost being S12 a
week. while his brothers income is but
$40 week. The balance the brother paid
from his savings.
This source having become almost ex-
hausted, Pasquale thought it best to spend
the remainder in sending the boy back to
Italy. The sisters in4,. charge. of ST.
Michaels Hospital offered to treat the boy
for nothing, but this was refused by the
brother, as Lhoero himself was anxious TO
see his mother and sisters, as he realizes
that he has poor chance to recover. The
boys father died some time ago

ter, of the central Office, are trying to
locate well-dressed woman who has
been cashing worthless checks in diff

be the sister of Mrs Abraham Feist.
The police know now of at least $100

city. Captain Carroll says that the
woman was in this city no later than
last Saturday. Complaints were re-
ceived from Salisbury & jacobsen, say
ing that check had been cashed at
that store for $25.
Later the police learned that the
woman had realized $25 from check
cashed by Simon Davis. Fred Eisner
complained that the woman made a
small purchase at his restaurant and
produced~a check, obtaining $40 change.
A check for a similar amount Is said
to have been cashed at department
store. All of the checks were made
out to Mrs. Abe Feist on the Seattle
National Bank and were signed "F. Il.
Lloyd"
Captain Carroll was in communica-
ton with the Seattle police, and they
informed him that man named f..
l.. Lloyd had a small account in a bank
some time ago. but had overdrawn 1t.

the Second District Court room in the
City Hall this morning its investiga-
ton into the affairs of the Hudson
County freeholders, with Mr.. Barrett,
of Newark, as chief inquisitor.
County Collector Stephen M. Eagan
was the first put on the stand, and was
placed in many peculiar positions.
You handle the court funds. Mr..
Eagan" said Mr.. Barrett.
Il do" was the answer.
you have on deposit at the various
county banks million dollars or more.
Are you getting any interest for this
mohey?" asked Mr.. Barrett.
81 do not receive any interest," an
swered Mr.. Eagan.
when you borrow money you have
to pay interest, do you not?" was the
next query.
II do" came the answer.
And you mean to tell me that with
million or more in the banks you
get no interest?"
Mr.. Barrett flung this question at the
collector in an angry fashion.
"Oh, suppose I'll get something at
the end of the year when I make up
my statement" was the reply.
Joseph c. Duff, an ex-Assemblyrnan
and at the present time a plumber and
plumbing contractor, was the next man
to be called te the stand.

Governor are well acquainted, and in
Mr.. Egenolf's carriage the two drove
over to the Williamson mansion in
North Broad street, where luncheon
was served They chatted on the way
about the situation.
Mr.. Egenolf wanted Mr.. Katzenbach
to make q speech down at the carnival
grounds, near Elizabeth Park, where
the opening exercises of the towns

tracted a big holiday crowd.
"Oh, well, / might say something,
laughed Mr.. Katzenbach, "but it will
be no political speech. You know 1
haven't been in Europe preparing
speeches all summer"
1t was finally decided that late in the
afternoon the candidate should be in
troduced to the public and make few
remarks.
At the Williamson mansion, where
luncheon was served to a small COM
pany, the .g1lbsrnatorial- candidate met
Ex-Governor Foster M. Toorhees and
talked with him for ten minutes.

plans slightly since the announcement
of his itinerary by the State Committee
at Jersey City on Friday The itinerary
provided for his tour through Middle
sex County tomorrow, but this trip he
will postpone until later in the CAM
paign, so that he may put in most of
his time tomorrow in another political

turning to Trenton, he will go to Jersey

PATTERSON. Oct. Tin the batch of
indictments returned by the Passaic Coun-
ty Grand Jury is one against "Archie'
Graham. the well-known golfer and run
ner up" in the national tournament at
Cleveland, for assault and battery on Ed
ward Sceery the leading florist of this
city. The indictment is the sequel to the
trouble which occurred in the exclusive
Hamilton Club several months ago when
Sceery, who was accompanied by a party
of women. was assaulted by Graham for
some unexplained reason.
The former preferred charges against
Graham before the board OF governors and
they suspended Graham for one month.
Sceery did not think this punishment
enough and he had Graham arrested be-
fore a justice of the peace Seeery was
then suspended for three months by the
club for making the matter public.

5 DRIFTING TO SEA
LONG BRANCH MEN GONE
AND THAT IS THEORY.
All at Home on the Water and No
other Cause Can Be Assigned
for Disappearance.
[speeial to the Evenang star.l

LONG BRANCH. Oct. Five men put
off to sea from this city yesterday after
noon at o'clock and have not as yet re-
turned. The men, Pierre Troutman, Alfred
Layton, Henry Campbell. Jack Wood and
Daniel Gaskin, all of Long Branch went
to sea in n power boat about twenty feet
long. Their intention was to lift some lob
ster pots that are set some distance off
shore.
Troutman is married and has one little
daughter; Campbell is an old man who
lives with a daughter and granddaugh-
ter; Wood was recently married, and Gas
kin is single, and so is Layton.
No one noticed the boat after it left the
shore The sea is running pretty high but
all the men are able to handle a boat. so
that thee is little probability that they
have sunk at sea. 1t Is probable, and this
is the only reason for the non-appearance
of the men that has been advanced, that
tho power in the boat gave out and the
current took the whole outfit to sea.
