Between watching for %shoplifters and
trying to protect Newark shoppers
from the attacks of pickpockets, every

these days. Reports, or. as the police
term them, "squeals," are heard every
day by men and women who, through
their own carelessness, fall easy vic

the police and sleuths are hunting.

Mrs. Flora W. Kirk, of Delavan ave

Prosecutor Probing Death of
Henry D. Rue-May Seek
Attendant.
BALLANTINE TOLD OF
STEPPING ON INNATE
Latter Had Nine Ribs Fractured,
but Did Not Tell How
1t Happened.
Especial to the Evening start

TRENTON, Dec. 22.-Prosecutor
William ]. Crossley today, referring to
the death yesterday of Henry D. Aue.
who was a patient in The New Jersey
State Hospital for the Insane. and who
was found to have had several ribs
broken, said:
This affair will be probed to the
bottom. 1 shall attend the inquest and
examine each witness in order that
every scrap of evidence bearing on the
case will be forthcoming. Ballantine
will be apprehended if there is any evil
dence of deliberate violence or willful
neglect"
B~allantine was an attendant at the
institution. He has disappeared from
the asylum.
Ruc, who came from Wrightstown, in
Burlington county, was unable, he said
before he died, to tell how he had been
injured.
The post-mortem examination con-
Quoted by County Physician Scammell
showed that nine of Rue's ribs were
fractured, and exterior discolorations
on the abdomen at the point at which
a rupture of the liver occurred.
Ballantine, Medical Director Henry
A. Cotton says admitted having step
ped twice on Rue's PROSTATE body dur
ing q struggle to get the patient back
in bed.
County Physician Scammell ordered
Coroner Disbrow to hold an inquest on
Monday afternoon.
Rue was examined by several mem
bers of the medical staff shortly after
Ballantine reported the scuffie to Super
visor Wynn, and it was not thought
then that he had sustained any injury
beyond the fractures of two ribs.
Up to the time of Rue's death it had
been the prosecutors theory that the
abdominal discolorations had been
caused by the pressure of fingers but
the report of the county physician
destroys the tenability of that view.

MORAL TONE OF
COUNTRY GOOD,
SAYS OOLLNER
Iowa Senator Tells Newark
Audience People Are Getting
Better Every Day.

1.-THE New Moral Outlook was the
subject of an address delivered last
night at the First Presbyterian Church
before the Presbyterian Union by
United States Senator Jonathan p. Dol
liver, OF Iowa. Upon his arrival in the
city Senator DollIVer was met 1t the
station by former United States Senator
John f.. Dryden, whose guest he was
during his stay here. During his ad-
dress Senator Dolliver said:
81 have really no claim whatever to
the ono Of addressing such an audi
ence as this on such a subject. 1t is
a funny thing, but on this trip to
Newark | have not found anyone who
knew what I was going to speak about
tonight, nor did anyone seem to care.
1t is a rare privilege for a United
States Senator to be allowed to say
anything he wants to. and ito have an
unlimited time in which to say it.
II am not one of those who has lost
faith in our institutions, and l do not
think that there is anything fatally
defective in the moral status of our
people. l have come to the conclusion
that no one can render our country a
really GOOD InlnB IL lie mas NOT COIu-
dence in the people and trust in our
public institutions. These persons who
are travelling around the country tell
ing us how bad they all are are like
the scientist who discovers n single
bone of some prehistoric monster. He
takes this one bone to a museum, and
there they construct the whole mon
ster. Because one thing Is wrong or
one man goes wrong is no reason to
think that the whole country is going
to the dogs"
The speaker went on to tell how he
had read an interview given out by
Rabbi Wise, in which the latter had
said that President Roosevelt was in a
great measure responsible for the rails
ing of moral standards. Senator Dol
liver stated thai although he yielded to
no one in his admiration for the Presi-
dent. yet, he said, the credit should
be ascribed to no one man, but rather
to that vast army of teachers and
preachers who each in his own way
had done so much for the moral well
fare of the country.
