rising young financiers of Kings Coun-
ty, spent last night in a cell in Ray
mond street jail, and today his counsel
is making renewed efforts to secure
$4,000 bail for him.
William Cow, who is said to have
made a million or more out of adver-
tising, and who has been called the
chief conspirator in the Borough Bank
scandal, and young Arthur D. Camp
bell, formerly cashier of the bank, who
were indicted with Maxwell, secured
the required ball when arrested yester-
day afternoon, and spent the night al
their homes, but Maxwell was hand

bowed was led through the streets from
the district attorneys office to the jail
1t is understood that three more true
bills will be found against men &C
cused of Juggling the funds of the Dor
Iough Bank. None of these was an Officer

associated with Cow in business enter

SCHOOL "~RIFF-RAFF''
STUDENTS OF PATERSON
HIGH INDIGNANT.
Instructor Wanted to Bar "Undesira-
BILE People" from Reception, Which
May Not Be Held.
Especial to the Evening start

PATERSON, Nov. 22.-There is a So
cha war on at the High School in this
city that threatenes to wipe out a num-
Der of the social organizations COM
posed of the students, and all on ac-
count of a remark made by one of the
Junior instructors at a meeting OF the
Athletic Association yesterday after
noon
The association is making arrange
ments to hold a reception on December
1, and a discussion was taking place as
to the price of the tickets. Several OF
the committee thought that 50 per couple
would be little enough, while the
majority of the committee thought that
81 per couple was sufficient.
The Junior instructor, who represented
1.-THE faculty at the meeting, aired his views
on the subject and stated that he Thought
50 was the proper price "as it would keeT
out the riff-raff of the school,"
Those who were in favor of the 81 ad-
mission, who represented the majority oil
1.-THE students, left the meeting, and today
they filed their designations from the
athletic association with the secretary.
1t was also brought to light that while
heretofore a general invitation has been
extended to the pupils at the Normal
School to attend the dance. this year the
Invitations were only extended to a chosen
few. All efforts of the faculty and mem
bers of the alumni who have been in
voked to settle the trouble have failed,
and it is likely that the reception will be
abandoned.

SAYS you CAN PUT
YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW OUT

against her husband for alimony APP
peared before e-Chancellor Leaning
and said that her husbands family
made all the trouble, especially her
mother-in-law.
Shaffer said the fault was misplaced
and really belonged with his wife's
mother. He said his mother-in-law's
way of interfering with things had
spoiled his former habitual good ma
ture.
Shaffer said he still loved his wife.
She said she still loved him. But there
was the mother-in-law bugbear, and
they just couldn't stand 1t any longer.
After testimony for both had been
given, it was then that the court de-
livered his opinion hitting meddlesome
mothers-in-law. The Vice-Chancellor
said that the case was one of the most
remarkable of the kind he had ever
known. There appeared to be inter-
ference on both sides. The court or
dered Shaffer to pay his wife $40 a
week until he supplied a suitable home
for her, and asked her to live with him.
When the court finished William T.
Boyle, attorney for the defendant, said
that his client desired him to say that
he was in accord with the decision OF
the court and that he was ready to ac-
cept the terms of the decision and pro-
vide a home for his wife at once.
Mrs. Shaffer did not Indicate that she
approved of the decree.

HIS AFFINITY
GETS HIS
MONEY
Negro Has a Brand-Ne Re-
ligiOn to Back Him in
Neglect Of Wife.

Backed by a religion which is of their
own making, several members of a
Newark negro Sunshine club attended
the session of the First Criminal Court
this morning where their leader and
preacher, Robert Couch, of 1877 Warren
street, was tried on a charge of nom
support, due to his handing owe his
wages to his affinity, Frances Wood
land.
COUGHS defense was that there was a
Spiritual as we'll as a natural side to
the case, and that on his account he
had a perfect right to have an affinity,
and to give her at least part of his
money. To prove the claim Couch,
who works in a limekiln, cr~oss-ques-
toned his wife as to the understanding
of their religion which made a wife
unworthy of a husband whom she
brought to court.
When Couch met his present wife,
who is very black and might have
come from a dense jungle in Africa, he
loved her as he would a wife. They
were married last April by Justice of
the Peace Herman Simon. Couch said
that as soon as he saw her he was
satisfied that 1.-The Lord gave her to
him. out in order to have matters
right in the eyes of he world, which
was the natural side of the religion"
they agreed to go through a marriage
, ceremony.
The religion does not allow of two
wives, both husband and wife ad-
mitted, but a soul mate" was agree
able.
Mrs. Couch met Mrs. Woodland, a light
complexioned woman, possessing all the
physical qualifications of a negro affinity,
and introduced her to the church, advising
her to leave her husband. This was done.
Then she invited her to her home and later
she became a member OF the church.
The spiritual side of the religion allowed
Couch to become friendly with Mrs. Wood
land, he declared. Mrs. Couch liked the
new member Of the church SO well that
she changed her name from Woodland to
Ruth Moore and that is the name she goes
under. She was then brought into the
home Of Couch.
Mrs. Couch got no support since Septem-
Der and complained to Overseer of the
Poor Baldwin. Couch was arrested while
living with his soul mate"
Couch. after various attempts to explain
his creed, was ordered to pay his wife So
a week. He was unable to furnish bond
to do this, so he was allowed to go and
TO report again in two weeks.
Judge Howell said that Couch and his
religlon-if such It can be ~called-are q
menace to the city. Several members of
the sect offered sympathy both to Couch
and his wife. The affinity was also
welcomed with open arms. The police
think that Couch and his affinity" intend
leaving the city suddenly.
According to a letter found in COUGHS
pocket, he is an accredited preacher of the
Second Christian Church, having been or
dained in Baltimore. The local branch has
no headquarters.

SALARIES OF
c. ON
OFFICERS
Allegation That They Have
Been Paid Too Much
by the County.

A souabble In Elizabeth over election
bills has brought to light the fact
that since 1903 a law fixing the maxi
mum compensation of election officers
at SEE has beer totally disregarded in
cities of over 80 1000 inhabitants, and
acting under a law the repeal of which
was apparently overlooked, many coun-
ties in the State, among them Essex
have been paying $50 to each ofhc1al
1t is estimated that between $4,000 and
S25,0 900 have been paid out in this way,
more than authorized by law.
Before the Essex County Board OF
Elections went into session today In the
Wright-Masker recount case, Harry
Kalisch. one of the members, who Is a
LAWYER. was asked whether he knew OF
anv such law which provided for the
pavment of $25 instead of $50 to the
election officers. He said that he knew
Of no law to that effect and hat the
election officers in Essex County had
been always paid $50, SO far as he
knew.
He was told of the law that brought
about the discussion and said that ne
would look it up, intimating that II
the Elizabeth contention is correct thai
he would bring the matter to the at
tention Of he County Board of Elec-
TONS.
On April IA. 1908, a statute was
uassed giving election officers in cities
of over 10000 inhabitants $40 for the
first registry and primary day and 20
for a of the other registry days. OF
which there are three. and $40 on cleo
ton day. On the very next day a law
repeating this statute and making the
maximum compensation SIS by allow
ing only SIS for the first registry day
was passed.
In the pamphlet election laws issued
bv the Secretary of State this year Is
q note calling attention to the diff
ference. and there is printed: ID not
both of these amendments stand? is
there anything in the amendment OF
April Ia repealed by the amendment
of April To-"
The matter would probably not have
rome out had 1t not been that Eliza
beth election officers presented bills for
VARYING amounts and the county col
hector asked for an opinion from the
county counsel who discovered the
long-unheeded Law.
The Union County Board OF Free
holders met yesterday and decided to
nay no bills higher than SIS.
