cannot bear the expense of statehood
and that something will have to be
done, taking it for granted that Neva-
da will not grow in population or
wealth. The editorial suggests that
part or all of Nevada be joined to
Utah. We don't think Utah wants
to be saddled with an unproductive
desert like Nevada 1t is limited that
the Nevadans wouldn't like to be tied
up to a Mormon majority" The
objections, however, might come
from the Mormons not liking to be
tied up to Nevada The article in
Golfers reads as follows:
"The case of Nevada.
Can she stand alone, or does she
need help?
The abandonment of the plan to
unite Arizona with New Mexico
brought out the suggestion that it
should be attached to Nevada, and
that brought the old question of Ne
vada's future again before the public.
With the collapse of each successive
mining boom this question has be-
come acute, for Nevada has never
yet attracted a permanent population
large enough to justify the mainten-
ance of a separate state government.
Nine states have come into the Union
since her admission, and Oklahoma
will make the tenth All of them have
forged ahead while Nevada has stood
still She had just I56 more people
in 1870 than she had thirty years
later. Her new mmmning camps are
helping her just now, but in time they
will go the way of Virginia City and
Gold Hill. Her hope of settled pop
ulation now rests upon irrigation.
There is plenty of fertile soil in the
State if it can be watered, and the
Reclamation Service may yet create
sef-supportng commonwealth.
"The Rochester Union Advertiser"
suggests that the proper disposition
of Nevada would be 70 unite it to
Utah, from which it is divided only
by an imaginary line crossing the des-

state of reasonable size. The only
objection to the plan is that it would
put the people of Nevada into rela-
tions which the greater part of them
would find unnatural. The old min
ing region about the Comstock and
the new camps of Goldfeld, Tono-
pah and Bulfrog have all their deal

like to be tied up to Mormon ma
jority several hundred miles away
across the desert But there is no
reason, apart from sentiment, why
Nevada should not be divided, attach

BREAKING RECORDS.

Suckers are the most unreasonable
of men. Instead of being feeced in
the smoke-room, sunburnt on deck,
eating indigestible food four or five
times a day in the saloon, all they
have to do is to stay down i'll the
quiet bowels of the ship and shovel
coal. No steamer rugs to bother
with down there-not Panama nor
the Gold Coast itself is safer from
chilly winds. No yawning, idle
hours; no atrocious females, whether
the drowsy, owly old ones or the
young kind in yachting suits with an
chors. Cabin passengers walk miles
and don't increase the ships speed
as much as a millionth of knot
The stoker knows that every swing
of his back and arms pushes the le-
viathan forward little farther, lit
tie faster. If enough men keel over
during the day, three or four miles
can actually be added to the five hun
dred and thirty which otherwise
would have constituted a days run.
All stories in the papers, the con-
gratulatory speeches at banquets, the
international jealousies, dertend on
these grimy lads down below. It's
a responsibility that ought to thrill
any imaginative man in every fibre.
If each stoking-crew only had the
enthusiasm and sporting spirit to
work itself to death, there is no tel
ling where the records might go.
Why should these men want to eat
at all? Does the race horse stop to
MUNICH grass as he lunges toward
the. wire? Yet if the cable reports
of the great Lusitania's return voy-
age are to be trusted, they will insist.
They even go to the length of grow
ing "sullen" when their grub is bad
ly cooked or short in measure. ON
Sunday night, when twenty-six hours
from New York, they assumed an
attitude of open defiance, alleging
that they were receiving improper
and insufficient food" Plainly il
logical, not to say outrageous. The
ship had been gaining time steadily
and, as the log shows, continued to
gain time until the following Thurs
day. "a begrimed deputation of
twenty-five came up from the hold
through the luxurious saloon apart
ments to the bridge, bearing pots and
pans of steaming victuals. Captain
Watt pacified them, but only for a

continued loose and half-hearted, at

Policeman Franks, of the First Pre-

Captain Ryans precinct, distinguished
themselves at an early hour this morn
ing by capturing three negroes after
long chase of over a mile. The negroes
are charged with the most daring high
way robbery that has been reported in
this city in a long time
George White, of II Gone street.;
Archie Harris, of lit Parrow street, and
Samuel Pickett, of 81 South street. all
of Orange, are held at the First Pre-
cinct station in connection with the
highway robbery. Pickett was allowed
to furnish $500 bonds as material wit
ness. He is thought by the local po-
lice to have been concerned in the hold
up. Though Samuel Bolosko, a negro,
'of 101 Morton street, identified White
and Harris as the men who held him
up, the police believe that Pickett took
part in it.
Bolosko is in the City Hospital with
fracture at the left temple, caused
by being struck with blackjack. He
will be operated on today, and the pris-
oners will be examined as soon as he
is able to appear in court.
The hold-up occurred in ans Orange

CAUGHT, He IS
BLAMED FOR
FORGERIES
Arrest for Swindle Here
After Four Years. Hunt.
Several Banks Victimized.

After a pursuit of four years Detec-
tive Sergeant Frank Tuite is today ar
ranging with the New York authori-
ties to remand for extradition Joseph
Lowenthal, said to be clever forger.
Tuite and Detective Sergeant Horter
went to the Bronx yesterday and ar
rested Lowenthal for forgery COM
mitted in this city in March, 1904, by
which Lowenthal is said to have OBJ
tained $3.50 from the Merchants Ma
tional Bank.
Since his alleged operations in this
city Lowenthal has eluded all eff orts Of
the local police and the Pinkerton
detectives to LOCATE him, though he was
a much wanted man by the Bankers
Association, having, 1t IS said. forged
notes and checks on several banks
throughout the country.
In March, 1904, Captain Cusgrove,
then in charge of the detective bureau
in this city, received a complaint from
the Merchants National Bank that
they had been duped out of $3.50 by a
man named A. Clarkson. Lowenthal is
said to be the party who got the $3.50
fraudulently. In all cases Lowenthap $
method is about the same. In Newark
he deposited a check drawn to the
order of Clarkson & Co. by Benedict &
Co., of Paterson. This is the crime for
which he wasArrestsd yesterday.
Through operations in banks in New
York State the Pinkerton people got
word that Lowenthal was in this part
of the country. Recently they became
active In the pursuit of the man. Tuite
and Horter got wind that Lowenthal
was in New York, and for two nights
had shadowed a house at 1853 East
165th street. Low6nthal did not come
out, so, wearing of their vigil, the po-
lice decided to try a ruse. They sent
messenger boy to the house with a
message that Lowenthal was wanted in
a nearby drug store to answer phone
call. Lowenthal came out with his
son.
From description given him by the
bankers Tuite recognized Lowenthal,
and running across the street was
about to place the man under arrest
when Sergeant O'Mara, of the New
York force, who was with Tuite and
Horter, said, Don't touch that fellow;
he's copper"
"He's no copper; he's a crook" re-
piled Tuite, as he walked up to Lowen-
thai
Hello, Joe, the captain wants to see
you in Newark" said Tuite, greeting
Lowenthal.
Lowenthal persisted that the affair
in Jersey" was all cleared up, so Tuite
did not explain just what case was
meant, Lowenthal referring to SIM
liar affair in Orange which was set
tied.

COMMANDMENTS SUPREME

Indignant protest against the local option
plank in the Republican party platform
was expressed today by clergymen repre-
senting every church denomination in the
city. The section was criticised as an at
tempt to dodge the Bishops law, so that
the votes of those opposed to Sunday clos
ing might be gained. Some of the clergy
men were outspoken in their denunciation
of what they described as the base sur
render of a principle.
Not one Of those interviewed by STAR
reporters would admit that the Bishops
law is susceptible of modification. They
declare that 1t is as possible to vote on the
sixth commandment forbidding murder,
as on a law that would permit violation
of the Sabbath. Here are some Of the in
terviews:
The Rev. Charles l.. Mead. Centenary
M. e. Church-Our position is that neither
Mr.. Colby nor any other man or party of
men has authority to submit the fourth
commandment to vote. Mr.. Colby
wouldn't submit the sixth commandment.
Thou shalt not commit murder" to a
vote The commandments are not subject
to votes. In voting for the Bishops bill
Mr.. Colby placed himself on record. Any
retraction from that position indicates a
cowardly retreat
The Rev Stuart Nye Hutchison, First
Reformed Church. Clinton avenue-I am
opposed to the platform II 1t includes a
provision submitting to vote of the peo-
pie any consideration of the Sunday ques-
tlon. 1t seems to me that 1t is the first

Mrs. Catherine Leary, 20 years old,
of "a Chapel street, was bitten by a
bulldog owned by her brother Frank
yesterday afternoon. and was removed
to st. James's Hospital and later was
removed to her home. A child living in
the same street was bitten by the same
dog, but less seriously. The identity
of the child was not learned.
The dog is said to have been teased
by some children until it became ugly,
and when Mrs. Leary, seeing the chill
dren were in danger, ran up to warn
them, the brute sprang at her. biting
her several times on both arms. Then
the child was bitten.
Mrs. Leary's screams arrested the at
tention of several men, who beat off
the dog. DIR. H. c. Povey attended to

While Mrs Leary was bitten In sew
eral places, which bled profusely, the
physician has no fear of any serious
results, as the dog was not rabid.

MIGHT HAVE BEEN SERIOUS.
Train Switched by Mistake, Resulting
in Slight Accident,

What might have resulted in a serious
accident on the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road Saturday last, because of mistake
in the signal, was narrowly averted, when
Baltimore local train ran into the rear
car of an express bound for New York.
near the Florida avenue crossing. The lat
ter train, which is known No. 500, had
been switched into the Metrop olitan branch
track at New York avenue by mistake, and
was backing on a reverse track to the New
York track when the Baltimore train ran
into the rear car. Little damage was done,
however, and no one was injured.
According to statement made to Star
reporter this morning by T. G. Carr, train
master at the Baltimore and Ohio station.
the accident was due to mistake in
signal.
I'VE use the bell signal system between
the station and the Metropolitan junction
or switch, where the Frederick and Ha-
gerstown trains branch off from the reg
ular line. One bell is for the train to con-
tinue on the main line, two bells for light
itan branch. Saturday at o'clock the
New York train pulled out, and the Ha-
gerstown train followed a minute later,
and the Baltimore local left at 500. The
was given one bell for the New York train,
but mistook it for three. and switched the
express into the Metropolitan tracks. The
error was soon learned and the New York
train proceeded only short distance be-
fore 1t came to stop and began to back
out.
1.-The engineer" he continued, ION the
Baltimore local was given the right signal,
but should have seen the New York train.
He gave as an excuse the fact that the day
was SO foggy and the flying steam so dense
he did not recognize anything ahead Of
