Little Stickers to Help Wipe
Out White Plague in
This State.
COST ONE CENT EACH

Christmas Stamps of the American
National Red Cross Society were plac-
cd on sale in this city today. They
may be had in any quantity at one
cent each at the following drug
stores:
G. A. Sexton.
Barnekov & Petz.
Fred Seaman.
Supplies were sent to the above
firms this morning by Rev. ]. L. Lam
caster, vice president of the New Jer-
sey Branch of the American National
Red Cross. Mr.. Lancaster visited the
EVENING NEWS office this morning
and received the assurance of sup
port of this paper in his effort to
place the stamps on sale in Perth
Amboy.
The work of the Red Cross is most
commendable, it's efforts at present
being directed with great force to
the stamping out of tuberculosis in
every state in the Union. The receipts
from the sale of the stamps do not go
to the national association, but to the
local or state branches. The mer-
chants or societies who handle them
do not make any profit, but give their
labors in the effort to aid the good
work.
The stamps are ornamental little
Holiday Greetings" and have had
tremendous sales, not only in the
metropolitan cities, but in smaller
cities and towns as we'll. Their sale
originated in the state of Delaware
last year at the holiday season and In
eighteen days nearly four hundred
thousand were sold and nearly three
thousand dollars cleared for the good
work being done in that state.
The Christmas Stamp is not good
for postage. 1t will not carry any
kind of mail, but any kind of mail
will carry it. Each one who uses this
holiday stamp will help to stamp out
the White Plague" 1t has been print
ed by the million to supply the de-
nand, so any quantity can be ordered,
but cash must be sent with each or
der, this rule having been followed
last year with success. Nobody makes
any profit on the Christmas Stamp,
but it was found last Christmas that
everyone was glad to help it~along on
these terms. For an order of one
stamp or a thousand the price is the
same, except in the little books. which
add the cost of the binding, Just as
the government does. The proceeds
In each state go toward tuberculosis
work in that state.
During the run of the stamp last
year, Jacob Riis wrote a congratula-
tory letter to the Delaware Red Cross,
and Governor Stuart of Pennsylvania,
Secretary Root and Secretary Taft,
all telegraphed their approval and
good wishes This year the stamp
goes forward to a wider usefulness.
Its value will be twofold 1t educates
and arouses 1t gives each one a
chance to contribute, If only a penny,
TO the war against the White Plague,
and provides a fund for needed work
II little Delaware made 1t succeed, all
other states, north or south, can do
so. The National Red Cross brings
this Christmas Stamp to the whole
nation this year. If each American
man, woman and child buys but one,
siXty-tive millions will be sold, and
tuberculosis work from Maine to Cal
fiornia will be reinforced and urged
forward. When Denmark has sue
ceeded, can America fail?
Remember, they are on sale at Sex
tons, Barnekov & Petz's and Sea-
mans.

kISH ON TRIAL TODAY

A conviction was obtained against
Joseph Sotmar, of this city, in New
Brunswick yesterday afternoon, on
a charge OF having made an afro
cfous assault on Patrolman Israel
Weitzen, in Mike Yatsko's saloon,
this city, on the night Of October IL,
last.
The case, which was started Mon
the jury at / o'clock yesterday after
noon and, when they returned, 1t
was with verdict Of guilty"
Lawyer Harry Cook defended the
prisoner, who will probably be SEN
fenced on Friday. AS was told In
the NEWS at the time, Sotmar hit
the policeman with a blackjack and
injured his head and face so badly
that his right eye had to be re-
moved.
Jensen's Assailant on Trial.
Joseph Kish. of this city, who re-
Gently shot Patrolman L. c. Jensen
in the mouth with a 3S-calibre re-
volver, injuring him SO that he was
confined to his home for several
weeks in a serious condition, is on
trial today. If found guilty he will
probably be sentenced on Friday
with Sotmar.
Kish, when placed on the stand,
admitted the shooting, but claimed
he was excited because OF the fire
that had occurred that night. He
said that he had been ca his roof
with a pail of water to protect his
property from sparks. He went to
q nearby saloon ard took S27 with
him, also revolver to protect the
money. He says when he saw the
policeman following him into his
yard upon his return, he thought the
officer had no right TO do that so he
shot him. The defense Is on this af-
ternoon.

Never Kissed Him
When Anvbodv
Could See.
A DEAL, HE SAID

After being out only thirty minutes
the jury in the $4,000 breach Of prom
ise suit of Miss Mary Sher, Of this city,
against Samuel Glazer, of Raritan, re.
turned verdict of 81 800 for the plain
tiff, The case was tried before Judge
Lloyd in the Circuit Court at New
Brunswick yesterday. Joseph E. Strick-
er, of this city was counsel for Miss
Sher and James l.. Griggs, of Somer-
vile, and Freeman Woodbridge, of New
Brunswick, defended Mr.. Glazer.
Miss Sher and her parents were wait
Ing on one side of the court room and
seemed jubilant over the verdict. An
amusing feature Of the case was that
Miss Sher admitted on the witness stand
that she had never kissed the man she
was suing, that is "not when anyone
was looking"
Attired in a green figured silk dress
covered by fur coat, Miss Sher told
the jury that she first met Glazer three
years ago; that he called upon her at
Perth Amboy last February, that a mar
riage contract was drawn up and signed
and, after that he promised her verb
ally several times that he would wed
her. At his suggestion, she said, she
sold out her dry goods business at Perth
Amboy at sacrifice and loaned him
AS the date for the wedding, June 7
past, rolled around, the only explana.
tion that Glazer gave to her was that
he had decided that the old story about
two being able to live more cheaply
than one was a myth, and that he had
decided to stay at home, as it was
cheaper. She sent her father to see him,
and he told Max Sher, the father, that
he had decided to stay single, and that
the President Of the United States
couldn It make him marry his daughter.
In his Defense Glazer attempted to
tear all of the sentiment out Of the
suit, pictured his engagement as a bust
ness deal shrewdly arranged by the
girl g parents, and posed as a confirmed
bachelor who had had narrow escape
from the snares of matrimony. He
begged to be excused from pecuniary
penalties, and seemed to think that he
was open to congratulations rather than
censure.
He asserted the enga cement had heen

ment being drawn up in which the bride
promised to~pay $500 as her dowry and
the bridegroom-to-b agreeing to be-
stow gifts of the value of 5000 upon
the bride. But the plans of the parents
went to smash at O picnic at Riverside
Park during the summer, Glazer being
jealous it is claimed, because his in
tended danced with another man. and
declined to eat lunch with his parents.
In trying to show the GOODNESS that
sprung up at that final parting at the
picnic, Lawyer Griggs asked the young
woman if Glazer kissed her good night
when he left her after the picnic.
NO" she replied.

replied.

NATURALIZATION

In a conference with the depart
ment of justice last week, Secretary
Strauss said:
COR many years ! have felt that it
WAS not only a shame but disgrace
that citizenship in this country, which
should be highly priced should be
so carelessly given. and often I'M
properly given by our government.
In that we believe that every man
who loves his country will concur
Not long since Secretary SJraus,
said: But for the 25,000,000 willing
workers VINO have come to ;ae Uni
ted States to cooperate il our in
1ustries during the last century,
these industries would today be IN
their infant stage
That. too. is all right, but i az
nor in the least conflict with the first
statement They came because they
had to work for a living and they
could get better wages here than
anywhere else on earth. and more
over. the moment they landed every
opportunity in this country was open
TO them. Again there has never been
anv disposition to deny them citizen
ship when they have shown they are
worthy to receive it. But that does
not Justify the naturalization OF
thousands OF wretcheS annually who
have not the slightest idea of the du-
ties of citizenship, or of the real ma
ture of our government. The ballot
is the only defense short OF the
sword which our country has. and
it should only be welded by hones1
and patriotic hands. An amendment
to the naturalization law is HOW pend
ing in congress. which, if it passes
will make the naturalization of any
foreigner impossible between May ]
and election day. We hope it vii
pass and shut off the naturalization
of thousands who every four years
seek to get naturalization papers fol-
no purpose except to sell their vote:
