AND ROBBED.
ON STREET
Screams Bring Policeman,
Who Catches Charles Meib-
liDg--Jail for Latter.

While on her way home after visiting
a relative with a girl companion,
shortly after 6 o'clock Saturday night,
Nellie zboray, 16 years old, of 226 Mont
gomery street, was halted at Sixteenth
avenue and South Eighteenth street by
Charles Meibling, SO years old, of G
Ashland street.
According to the girls statement in
the Fourth Precinct Police Court today
Meib1ing. who was unknown to her,
was with a companion at the time.
He grabbed her by the throat, she said.
and stole her gold locket, and the chain
to which 1t was attached was lost in
the scuf11e.
The girls screams brought Police
man Mcguire. of the Fourth Precinct
station, to the scene, and he followed
Meibling into nearby saloon and
placed him under arrest. When
searched at the station the stolen
locket was found in Meibling's pocket.
In court today the evidence showed
that the prisoner was very much un-
der the influence of liquor at the time.

girl as she told the story. The court
committed Meibling to the penitentiary

JUMP WINDOW
FLEEING MAD
HUSBAND
Man Stabs Two With Pocket
Knife and Attempts to
Kill Himself.

While in q fit of anger last night at
midnight John Steiner, SS years old. an
ironworker, who occupies the first hat
of an apartment house at S5 Kent
street, grew suddenly desperate and
stabbed his brother-in-law, Ignatz
Lawrence, of Garwood. and the latter S
wife, Rose, with a large pocket knife.
and then attempted to end his own life
by slashing his throat. Both of Stein
er's victims are only slightly injured,
and Steiner, 1t was said at the City
Hospital today, will recover.
The victims of Steiner. his wife and
two children perhaps saved their lives
by jumping out, of the bathroom win
dow, which led into Kent street. The
entire neighborhood was aroused and
the dozen or more families in the house
were too much frightened to interfere.
Policeman Faraher, of the Fourth
Precinct, was attracted by cries of
"NIurderl'' "Help!" and "Police!" and
rushing to the house found Steiner
stretched on the floor unconscious. He
sent In a call for the ambulance and
Steiner was hurried to the hospital.
The Lawrence people were scarcely
more than scratched.
Little is known about the Steiners in
the neighborhood, for they recently moved
to this city from Hoboken. 1t is known,
however. that Mrs Steiner noticed her hus-
band acting queerly for the past several
days, and this caused her to invite her
relatives from Garwood to her home to
aid in keeping a watch over him. Appar-
emily their appearance made matters
worse, for close to midnight Steiner rose,
and with his knife and a hammer no
threatened all and started in by slashing
the Lawrences, and then turned on him
self when he found that the other MEM
bers of the family had escaped through
the windows in their night clothes.
After the removal of Steiner the other
members of the family sought shelter with
a nelghbor.

Captain Christie was particularly ac-

Captain Christie got something akin
to shock yesterday when he was in

the arrest of brother saloonlkeeper,
whom the police say was doing tnriv-

James Farraher, of Chestnut ana

Farraher's keen eyes for bulky pock-

Madden promptly pulled out half pint

Tarraher then called Patrolman Kinney

his half pint bottle were held and Meyer
was arrested this morning.

Told in Minute Detail.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov z5.~-
When the trial of Mrs. Annie M. Brad
ley for the murder of former Senator
Arthur Brown, OF Utah, was resumed
today Mrs. Bradley came into court
very quietly, appearing depressed and
paler than usual. She took seat be-
hind her lawyers, with eyes cast down.
At times she closed her eyes, heavy
black rings around them showing plain
ly. and remained for several minutes
as IL In a stupor.
The belief was entertained on all
sides that the hearing of evidence
would be concluded this week. It Is
not expected that court VIII sit on
Thanksgiving Day, and as trials. as a
rule. are not conducted on Saturdays.
the finishing testimony will be crowded
into four days. The arguments viii
begin next week, and the Indications
now are that the case will go to the
jury not later than Thursday, Decen-
ber 8.
Occasionally Mrs. Bradley caught her
breath quickly as If on the verge OF
fainting. She was attired in the dark
gown she has worn since the beginning
of her trial, with fur collar thrown care-
lessly over her shoulders. She talked
to one of her lawyers, and bent for
ward when he spoke as IL she heard
with difficulty.
There were numerous conferences be-
tween counsel and the presiding judge
before the proceedings were begun.
The audience included many women,
all showing intense eagerness in follow
ing the proceedings.
Detective Charles Mullen was asked
to identify scraps of torn letters found
in a waste paper basket In Mrs. Brad
ley's room at the Raleigh Hotel, where
the shooting took place, One of thaaa
letters referred to other letters written
by the prisoner. "Will you kindly

RULES
FOR KAISER
PRIZE
Committee
Proposes Each Society
Select Its Own Chorus.

Members of the local German sing
ing societies are interested in the ses-
sion of the music committee of the
Northeastern Saengerbund, held in
Terrace Garden, New York, yesterday,
where important changes were sug
gested in the rules relative to the
Kaiser prize contest. 1t was decided
that each competing society should Sc
lect its own chorus, instead Of having
the same chorus sung by each society,
as heretofore. While this Is the gen.
eral provision of the committee, the
matter will have to come up before the
bund for final adjudication. Other
changes will be also recommended.
The committee selected the mass
choruses to be sung at the big Saenger-
fest in New York in 1909. Among them
are folksongs, including one that was
sung by the M. G. V. Arion at its
concert in the Krueger Auditorium last
week.
The Newarkers at the meeting were
Major Carl Lentz, who is the president
of the organization, and John Goehrlng,
another prominent officer.

a practical way the development OF the
Negro as a banker. They will erect a
substantial building, and throughout
the life of the Exposition, will have
in full operation a model bank, with
safe deposit attachment, staff OF cash
iers and %tellers, and will handle the
money of concessionaires, receive de-
posts from visitors and employees,
and transact a regular banking bust
ness for all who may require such

Our people may congratulate them
selves upon the happy location OF the
Negro Building. 1t is situated a
the main entrance to the Exposition
grounds, and faces the principal
thoroughfares-the first and most con-
spicuous structure the visitor sees

The North Carolina exhibit will be

worth travelling many miles to see.
This comprehensive exhibit is due to
the energetic labors of DR.. G. H. Hun
