MICHAEL M'GILLEN
WHERE ARE YOU LIVING?
Here's Your Nephew, Thomas o'Leary,
Who Came All the Way from
Cleveland to See You.

michael McGilIen, 60 Jefferson
street. New Jersey" you're wanted by
your nephew, Thomas O'Leary, who
came here from 2716 Orange avenue,
southeast, Cleveland, o., to hunt you
up. Thomas is making his ~headquar-
tiers at the Third Precinct, this city.
and is anxiously awaiting your APP
pearance.
Thomas reached here from Cleveland
yesterday morning, and after making
his mission known to a man he met on
the street, he searched Jefferson street,
Newark, from one end to the other
without success. Then he went to the
Third Precinct police station, where
he told his story. He is 16 years old.
From the story he told Captain
Christie 1t is believed that Michael
McGillen lives in Elizabeth. There is
a Jefferson street in Elizabeth and the
lad informed the officers hat his uncle
told him that there was a saloon at
the foot of the depot stairway conduct
ed by a man named Cavanagh. This,
Captain Christie says, sounds like
Elizabeth, and he has informed the
Elizabeth authorities of the fact.
Thomas called at the office OF the EVEN
| ING STAR this afternoon, and said that
! he wants to either locate his uncle at once
or get a position az a machinist's appren-
tice. He says that he has worked at the
| trade for a time. He Is an orphan, his
| mother dying when he was a child, and his
| father four years ago. He was an only
child.
When he left Cleveland he had $.25 in
his Jeans, and most of this has been spent
for food since reaching Newark. He had
| 40 cents this afternoon. He said he was
accompanied as far as Pittsburg by mis-
uncle, Tom McGillen. who purchased his
| ticket at that point for New Jersey. The
lad did not see the ticket, and does not
| know whether the ticket read Newark,
Elizabeth or where. The brakeman put
him off the train here yesterday morning
| about 10 o'clock.

PARDON FOR TIPS2
"DADv M'LAREN'S CASE TO
COME UP THIS WEEK.
Information Handbook Man Is Said to
Have Given will Affect Police,
Says Report.

When the State Court of Pardons
meets at Trenton on Thursday it will
consider an application for freedom
made by George (Dad) McLaren, who
was arrested by Sheriff Sommer's men
during the crusade against vice for
making a handbook on the races.
McLaren's brother. John, was also
arrested, but his case was nolle pros
sed when Dad" pleaded guilty. He
was sentenced to State Prison for one
year and, besides, an additional fine
was imposed.
Since McLaren made a request for a
pardon it is understood that he con-
fered with Sheriff Sommer and fur
nished valuable information to that Of
flee which will, it is stated, have some
effect on the trial of several of the
indicted police officials. A number OF
McLaren's Newark friends are inter
esting themselves in his behalf.
Several other important cases, in
GLIDING that of two murders. are ex-
pected tt come up. No Information re-
garding the McLaren case could be
had at the Sherif's Office today.

newcomer for the baseball field, and
in several practise games he has
shown excellent ability, and generally
managed to return the ball to the
inield in time to retire the batter.
Charles Fessler. of A squad, claims
he Will protest the action of c squad,
but on the other side Billy Harren-

MoRRISToWN LIGHT CASE
Goes Over on Account Of I~ndisposition
of Justice Gummere.

BY agreement Of counsel, based on
the fact that Chief Justice Gummere
is temporarily indisposed. the matter
of hearing an application for a writ
OF certiorari to review h action OF
the Morristown Board of Aldermen in
granting a franchise and contract for
street lighting 10 the Morris and Som
erset Electric Company, was post
poned today until next Friday.
Town Counsel e. X. Mills, OF Nor
ristown, was served las week with
the Usual notice by l.. p. Howard
Gilmour, counsel for h public Serv-
Ice Corporation.
The company to which the contract
was granted was organized In Norris
town and financed by its citizens TO
provide adequate electric lighting IN
that place. It proved a rival Of the
p. s. G. and the fight was started IN
the courts to nullify the contract.
That the application should be made
to the Chief Justice Is the occasion Of
much surprise % the people Of Nor
ristown, as Justice PitpSy looks after
that circuit.

baltimore BL0NDE,"T
WAS SAID WITH SC0RN
And Takes Two Women to Court, Who
Pay for Their Row-Mrs. Foley
and Mrs. Brooks Enemies.

Judge Howell was very busy IN the
First Precinct Police Court this morn
ing First he had to listen to the de-
tails of a row between Mrs. Hannah
Brooks and Mrs. Annie Foley, both OF
whom live at Sc Mulberry street, and he
disposed Of that case by charging the
two women with disturbing the peace
and dealing out a $40 fine to each.
Mrs. Foley has a ~15-year-old daughter
of a pronounced brunette type, accord
ing to the testimony given in court this
morning. Mrs. Brooks, in essaying to
criticise the girl for some offense, did
not show q very fine sense of distinction
and called her a Baltimore blonde.
This remark enraged the mother of the
girl, who demanded to know the def1ni-
ton of the expression. Mrs. Brooks
refused to explain, and, in fact, adj
mitted in court that she could not de-
fine the term. One word led to another,
and finally blows were struck. III feel
ing between the two families dates back
to last December.
Frank McGraw, a ~15-year-old boy,
who says his home is in Buffalo, was
the next to be arraigned. He was
charged with stealing 10 cents worth
of nails from a Pennsylvania Railroad
freight car. He admitted the theft
and was placed on probation. n
Buffalo police have been notified and
asked to look up McGraw's record.
John Polomba, of 81 Sussex avenue,
% years old, entered a Market street
department store Saturday night and
saw several things that looked good
to him. He finally decided that silver
spoons make a good showing when
company is present, and so he con-
nected with a dozen or two. He was
nabbed before he had time to put them
in his pocket. He was in court this
morning and was paroled until Thurs
day.
