Gorky and the woman he brought to
this country as his affinity" are today
living legally as man and wife. Harold
MacGrath. an author, who returned
here on the steamship Finland from the

of many the unpleasant experience &C
corded to the pair when they arrived
here some months ago.
Mime. Andreieva was the name of the
woman for whom Gorky admitted he
had forsaken his wife. When they ar
rived in the spring of 1906 Gorky's sue
cess as a Socialist leader was greatly
hampered by his broad views on the
subject of matrimony, and the pair
were obliged to leave Two hotels be-
cause of the discussion raised
According 70 Mr.. MacGrath. Gorky

YOM KIPPUR HERE
JEWISH DAY OF ATONEMENT
AND ITS OBSERVANCE.
Begins at Sunset Today and Lasts for "a
Hours-Long Services at synagogues
Where the Orthodox Worship.

The greatest of all the Jewish holy
ment, begins at sunset this evening. 1t
is observed strictly by both reformed
and orthodox Jews, the latter assemb-
ling in their synagogueS at the long
service wearing white skull caps and
shrouds n carrying a praying shawl.
The old custom of the orthodox Is
for the men to remove their shoes in
the synagogues and stand in slippers
or in stockings only.
The women in the galleries are dress
ed in black and white n their weep
ing and wailing as the service pro-
crosses lends an ~unspeakable melan-
choly to the night of prayer. The re-
ligious exercises last ell night and all
the next day until sunset. Many of
the ~worshipers remain in the syna-
gogues throughout the twenty-four
hours and until three stars appear in
the sky.
A memorial service is one incident Of
the religious observances. Prayers are
offered for the dead, and the graves of
the dead are visited, where the prayers
are repeated.
AS pardon for sins cannot be obtain
ed, it is taught, until the supplicant is
at peace with all men, reconciliations
between enemies are frequent on the
eve of Atonement Day.
At the end of the twenty-foui hours
of fasting, which includes abstinence
from both food and drink, feasts are
served, which bring the penitential sea-
son to an end.

SCHEME TO PUT END TO
FALSE ALARM NUISANCE.
Fire Boxes Equipped with Continuance
to Apprehend Perpetrators
of coke"

New doors were placed on two fire
alarm boxes yesterday by the Fire
Alarms Signal Door Company, which
will, it is said, put a stop to false
alarms being turned in from those
boxes, for as soon as the doors are
partly opened a large gong rings and
can be heard a block away Both
boxes have been frequently pulled on
false alarms.
One of the doors was placed on the
box at Broad and New streets. and
the other at Spruce and Barclay
streets.
New doors on several other boxes
will be placed in commission in a short
time. The doors have been in use in
different parts of Jersey City for a
year or more. and have been the
means of sending several people to
jail. The idea is an invention of AL
derman Michael J. MCGOWAN, jr., of
the Fifth Ward, and after having it
patented sold it to the Fire Alarm
Signal Door Company, by whom he is
employed.
Alderman MCGOWAN took personal
charge of the work in this city, so
that there would not be any mistake
made. He is a practical electrician.

JAPAN AND CANADA
SIR WILFRID LAURlER AND
lSHlI IN CONFERENCE.
immigration from Hawaiian Islands the
Difficulty to Be overcome-Change
in Treaty a Matter of Necessity.

OTTAWA. Ont, Sept. 17.-Japanese I'M
migration was thesubject of half an hours
conference between Premier Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, Mr.. Ishil, the special japanese
envoy. and Japanese Consul-General Nosse
yesterday.
The position of the Canadian government
is that the old arrangement in regard to
Japanese immigration into Canada should
be maintained. In effect this arrangement
was that not more than six hundred PEI
sons should. come to Canada from Japan
in enc year. The arrivals from Honolulu
greatly exceed this number, and Japan
says she is unable to control the arrivals
from a country under the United States
flag. To Mr.. Ishii Sir Wilfrid Laurier pre-
scented the Canadian case, Mr.. lshii eX-
planned that Japan was still carrying out
the old arrangement as far as 1t was pos
sible for her to do so, although he was
forced to admit that the spirit of the bar
gain was being violated by the arrivals
from Honolulu.
The Premier suggested that a change lie
made In the treaty SO that the same power
would be given to Canada as was now
contained in the United States treaty with
Japan III 81 idl "a CJutlOlliib luihiiS dtiOh
was concerned.
Mr. Ishii showed that there would be
great difficulty in the way of obtaining
amendments 20 the treaty NJ the present
time, and the Premier admitted that a
thorough understanding on both sides II
lived up 70 would be even better than Il
written bargain. Mr.. Ishii was pretty
much OF the same opinion, and will repor;
to his government to that effect. Person
ally, Mr.. Ishli has no power to make any
arrangements with Canada. A.

ITALIAN COLONY IN
UPR0AR OVER SHOOTING.
Bullet Fails to Hit Human Target and
Fruitless Search Is Made for
Assailant,

The italian section of the city, at
Seventh avenue and Cutler street, was
aroused shortly after 9 O'Clock this
People came running out of the tene-
ment houses nearby to see Michael
Tursi, of 2S Cutler street, running up
Cutler street after firing a shot at
Frank Devaro. of 121 Seventh avenue,
who keeps a restaurant in the base
ment at 2 Cutler ~treet.
The bullet went wide of it's mark
and no one was injured. 1t was only
yesterday morning that both Tursi and
Devaro were arraigned before Judge
Herr in the Second Precinct Court.
Devaro was arraigned on a charge Of
selling liquor on Sunday and Tursi
was arraigned as a witness. The lat
ter testified that he had gotten a bottle
of beer in Devaro's place, and this the
restaurant keeper denied. This denial
is believed to nave led to the shooting.
Devaro was held in $500 bail for the
Grand Jury at the time. Tursi is still
at liberty,
When word reached the Second Pre-
circt Police Station of the shooting
Captain Brown called Policeman
Owens and Plainclothesman Harmon
and they rushed to the scene. Desk
Sergeant Ebert notified headquarters,
and Detective Sergeants Templeton,
Donovan, Pagan and lutte were sent
out. The shooter could not be found
anywhere. When Captain Brown ar
rived everything seemed in confusion.
Harmon Knocked at one of the side
doors on the second floor at Is Cutler
street, and receiving no response
forced his way in by breaking it down,
but he was unable to locate the man
he wanted.
In the meantime Captain Brown had
gone to the rear of the house, where
in the yard he picked up the pistol.
Truant officer Michael Daniel in try
ing to assist the police in running the
man down slipped and fell, sprainine
an ankle. He reported later to the
Second Precinct Station and then went
home. When detectives arrived a thor
ough search of the neighborhood was
made. No one seemed to know of the
mans whereabouts, and if they did,
would not tell.
The bullet, which was fired from
the steps leading down to the restaur-
ant, lodged in the wall, where it was
dug out later by Captain Brown.

Before charging the jury Justice
Fort named DR.. Vlamor Allen of Jer-

Then william Williams asked to be ex-
cused, stating that he was in the serv-

regular occupation If it was necessary
for him to do jury duty. His request
was granted. =,
In charging the jury Justice Fort said
that he had been presented, ten minutes
before stepping upon the bench, with a
number of affidavits concerning alleged
proceedings at the last primary elecuon'

them to the jury. and If they found suf-

them to do so no matter who might be nit.
He said the sacredness of the ballot and
the preservation of the integrity of citi-
zens was in the right to vote without mo-
lestation or even fear of 1t.
Justice Fort next took up violations OF
the excise laws. He said that the April

Gated with him to the effect that 1t had
thirty-five cases of alleged excise violations
presented to it on the last day Of its scs-
