GLEN RIDGE HAS
!. L0FT|EST SPITE
FENCE IN STATE

One of the oldest and largest fences,
which is called by the neighbors a
spite -fencefi has been erected on the
line between the property of Thomas b.
Dwyer and Mrs. Frances G.. Spowers, in
wildwood terrace. Glen Ridge.
Mr.. Dwyer purchased the corner lot
from Mrs. Spowers, who is a divorced
woman and formerly an actress, and
erected a house on it. She offered him
the adjoining property and he refused
it. Then she erected two-and -a-half
story house on the property herself. II
Is the view from this house of hers, she
says, that the spite-fence has cut off.
The lower tier of the fence is sixteen
feet high and 100 feet long. This por-
ton cuts off all view In that direction
from the lot and the first floor of Mrs
Spowers's new house. The second tier
of the fence, which rests on the first
is ten fet high and thirty feet in
length, effectually cutting off any view
from the windows of the second floor
OF Mrs. Spowers's house.
Then, on top of this, is a third tier,
twenty feet long and ten feet high,
cutting off any view from the third
floor windows of the Spowers house.
In all the fence is thirty-six feet high
Z and, if 1t is spite fence, it is the most
imposing and attractive one in the
State.

BURNED CHILD IN
AGONY, MEETS HER
END LIKE SPARTAN
Six-year-old Savinella Santa
PietrO Shows Remarkable
Forfitude at City Hospital.

Suffering great agony, but bearing ii
with a fortitude rare in one so young
Savinella Santa Pietro, the 6-year- old
child burned at 10 Drift street yester-
day, died today at 8 a. m. in the City
Hospital.
While her parents were absent, the
child went into dark closet, struck a
match, from which her skirts caught
fire, and then ran screaming in search
of her parents.
Sabbianno Vendvella, who lives in an
adjoining apartment, was the first to
reach the child, and after receiving a
number of severe burns about the
hands, succeeded in extin gushing the
flames.
1t was at first thought that
the child's burns were of a superficial
character. Her parents thought she
would recover. A large funeral is being
arranged.

ADMIRAL COGHLAN
CALLED BY DEATH
WITHOUT WARNING
Distinguished Sea Fighter, Hero
+ of Three Wars, Was
Apparently Well.

NEW ROCHELLE, Dec. 5.-Rear
his home here. He was in command of
the New York navy yard from 1904 to
1907. He removed to New Rochelle only
about two weeks ago. His death was
very unexpected.
He. with Mrs. Coghlan, was living at
the home of Charles Chamberlain, a
former New York newspaper man, in
Sutton manor, while waiting for his
new home In this place to be made
ready for him.
The rear admiral was seen about the
streets OF New Rochelle yesterday, and
appeared to be as we'll as usual.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Sincere re-
gret was expressed on every hand to-
day when the news of the death of
Rear Admiral Joseph B. Coghlan be-
came known. He had hosts of warm
friends among officers and those out
side the service. Admiral Dewey was
shocked at the news. Rear-Admiral
Coghlan was with Admiral Dewey at
the battle of Manila Bay in command
OF the cruiser Raleigh, and he was
promoted later for his work in that
battle He enjoyed the admiraPs conf
dence to, marked degree and was dis
patched by him on various important
missions while the fleet was in the
Philippines.
1t was Admiral Coghlan's popularity
and capacity as a good story-teller that
involved him in the incident Of which
much was made at the time when the
admiral recited the poem. "Hoch der
Kaiser" which somewhat ruff1ed the
German authorities. The incident oc-
Cured at a dinner which the admiral
attended, and 1t was not intended that
the fact of the recital should become
public. However, it appeared in news
papers, and as II occurred after the
return from Manila. where there had
been some friction with the German
authorities, the affair was treated with
more significance than perhaps the cir
cumstances otherwise would have war;
ranted. The Navy Department called
on the admiral for an explanation. The
admiral replied that no disrespect was
meant by him towards the German en-
peror, ana with this statement the mat
ter was allowed to drop.
Admiral Coghlan was born In Ken
lucky in 1874. In the course of his
distinguished career he saw active serv-
ice in the Civil War, in the Spanish
War, as second in command of the
North Atlantic squadron on board the
flagship, Brooklyn and Olympia from
June, 1902, to April. 1904, and more re-

Protection of Accused $4,000
Forger Arouses Wide
Spread Indignation.
NEWARK DETECTIVES
INSTRUCTED TO STAY
Charges against Former Newark
Broker Are CrinlinaI-Civil Ac-
ton viii Not Be Substituted.

New Jersey rose in loud protest to-
day against the offering of asylum by
the state of Washington to Jersey
criminals, as exhibited In the case Of
Elliott A. Archer, wanted here on sew
enteen indictments, charging forgeries
of more than $4,000, and whose requi-
sition yesterday was refused by Gov
ernor Mead at Seattle, Wash.
Governor Fort today sent this tele-
gram to Governor Mead:
"No purpose in Archer extrndition
case to take civil proceedings. He Is
fugitive from justice and charged with
forgery of the greatest character. Every
effort has been made to locate him I'M
ill now. L protest against Immunity
10 this mnn."
This was in reply to a telegram from
Prosecutors Detective Walter Godfrey,
at Seattle, saying that Archer had
been released and that Governor Mead
decided there was not sufficient evidence
to show he was not wanted Tor the
purpose of collecting a civil debt. God
frey and Detective Sergeant Frank
lutte. of police headquarters, wore IN
structed to remain In Seattle, watch
Archer and make another plea to the
governor.
Chief of Police Corbitt declared the
action of Governor Mead an outrage.
1T MEANS" he said, that the State
of Washington has now become the
asylum for New Jersey criminals; that
a man may commit felony in this
state, flee to Washington and there
enjoy immunity from capture or pun
ishment.
our detectives in Seattle presented
to Governor Mead seventeen indict-
ments by a grand jury which fully con-
sidered the evidence. But 1t does not
seem to have been matter of evidence
with Governor Mead. He Is quoted as
saving that Archer has been good for
four years, and that that Is sufficient,
no matter what he did before that
period.
IT feel sorry for the good people OF
Washington. This will mean that every
bank robber, forger and other smooth
criminal who can tell a pathetic tale
will seek Washington as a haven from
ca pture
here is nothing more we can do.
Nj ad says we must submit more evil
dtlce. What more than seventeen in
dctments can he want? He did not
want more evidence. He had fully de-
termined to deny the requisition, and
twice the amount Of evidence would
have made no difference"

have been at least fifty reports of his
successful operation in North Jersey.
He was arrested in Railway last night
when he made the fatal error of going
back to q woman who had refused him
on his first call. She entertained him
until the police came.
Detective Sergeant George Fohs was
responsible for the capture. He has so
thoroughly spread the report of the
operations of Brewer that when he
called on the Railway woman last eve
ming his arrest followed. Fohs has a
list of victims which fills a diary, and
he has sent invitations to all of these
women to call at police headquarters
and meet their former pleasant ac-
uuaintance All of the women found
Brewer ''such nice young man" that
they parted with their money quickly.
Mrs. George E. Kenyon, OF Glen Ridge,
avenue, Montclair, recognized him as
the man who, after she had paid him
$100. had taken her nephew, Harold w.
Ridge, to New York, ostensibly to IN
stall him in bank, and had abandoned
him in a restaurant.
Mrs. Bertha Applin, Of 81 Myrtle ave-
rue, Newark. said he was the man to
whom she paid $2650-all she had-for
a similar position for Eer son.
Mrs. William Price, Of 90 Prospect
street, Belleville. said she had given
Brewer $40 for the same position for
her son Henry.
When the reception had progressed
until noon, Detective Fohs had three of
the women, Mrs. Kenyon, Mrs. Applin
and Mrs Price. swear to warrants
charging Brewer with obtaining money
under false pretenses.

bag had been taken from her. Mr..
Fox, husband of the sick woman, re-
turned to the theater and saw young
woman hasten out of the theater with
his wife's bag in her possession, but
he was too busy with his Ill wife to
stop the woman. Mrs. Fox became so
| Ill that she was taken to a hotel and
| from there to her home in New Ro-
chelle.
When taken to court the young wo-
mans father employed the services of
Lawyer Mark Alter to protect his
daughter. Mr.. Alter told Magistrate
Cornell that the young woman's moth.
err died seven years ago. Since then
her father had married. She never
could get along with the stepmother
At the theater she saw Mrs. Fox In
box. Miss Moses went to the ladies'
room, and while there Mrs. Fox and q
maid came In. The young woman did
what she could for Mrs. Fox. A chain
link purse lay in Mrs. Fox's lap.
Miss Moses put the purse over hel
arm while aiding Mrs. Fox, intending
to give 1t back to her, the lawyer said
| In the confusion that followed Mrs
Fox was taken away. Miss Moses

questions propounded to him by the

Fl. Hartman was directed to answer
all questions except those relating to
the purchase of Union and Southern

While the exceptions were regarded
as important questions by the govern

man refused to answer
The clash between the witness and
the commission arose on Feb. % OF
last year. For several days the inves-
tigators had been endeavOring to get
at the bottom Of Harrimans railway
manipulations connected with the Chi
cago and Alton. The question that
marked the beginning Of the contrO-
versy was this:
"Did you own any Of the Chicago
and Alton preferred stock sold by the
syndicate to the Union Pacific?'
Immediately the railroad presidents
lawyer, John G. Milburn, contended
that the inquiry was not within the
scope of the federal investigation
Frank B. Kellogg. the governments
attorney, took the contrary view The
outcome after prolonged arguments
was that Hartman declined to answer
a number Of questions as to stock
transactions on the ground of personal
privilege.

pealed to the federal courts to compel
the witness to answer.
