Applications, at first plentiful, soon fell
away. for the diversion became a task.
and there were no volunteers to fill the
places of the early recruits Then neces-
sity proved the proverbial mother. and a
machine was invented to do the work.
Making the Smoking Tests
The tests We're to be made as to the
best material for the three elements that
go to the making up of a cigar, the
weight of each and the rapdity with
which it burned The filler must have a
fine flavor and aroma and IA good burn. "
The binder must hold it together, supple
ment it's desirable qualities and burn to
the same degree. The wrapper leaf must
have elasticity. proper color, size, shape.
fineness of veins, flavor taste and a good
burn" Some of these qualities could
be determined in other ways, but the
difficult thing was the burn and the adj
justment of each part to the other in this
respect. The capacity of the given to-
the burn. the coaling and the puCllering
Of the leaf Immediately in advance of
the fire zone were to be determined.
The machine was rugged up for these
tests; it's operation hinges upon the flow
'of water from a hydrant and the conse
quent action of syphon in a jar that
forms the lungs of the machine. As
the syphon empties the jar long. strong
pull is made on the cigars to fill the
vacuum created. AS the jar refiIls the
pull is relaxed and the performance is
repeated-smoking the cigar very much
as man would. The cigars may be
regulated with reference to the tobacco
that goes into their making until they
smoke with absolute exactness. and the
recipe for their making is recorded.

Jewelry Salesman Lured from
Home and Demand on Firm

MONEY MUST BE PLACED :
AT CERTAIN SPOT BY JUNE &c
Police of New Jersey Cities
Asked to Aid in
Case. :
Especial to the Evening start,

NEW YORK, June 22.-Fearing that
her husband win be put to death in
lieu of $4,000 ransom. Mrs. Meyer
Newman, wife of jewelry salesman,
of 1855 Fulton avenue, the Bronx, is to-
day prostrated and under the care of a
physician.
The police have asked the assistance
of the police of Perth AmbOy and other
New Jersey cities in their efforts to
solve the mystery of Newmnn's disap-
pearance.
Two letters received by the diamond
and jewelry firm of Stern Brothers &
Co., in Maiden lane, lead the police to
believe that Newman was lured away
by abductors, and that he is being held
for ransom.
When he disappeared from his home
last Tuesday he had $1,000 in unset dia-
monds. That he did not leave volun-
in his house more than $4,000 worth of
diamonds and jewelry which he did
not take.
The first of the letters was received
by Stern Brothers & Co. on Wednesday
and was mailed the afternoon of Tues
day, the day Newman left his home.
Both letters were alike and read:
This is TO notify you that Meyer
Newman is being held a captive for a
ransom of $4,000. You are to place the
money in a tin can at the Bronx Park
entrance before June 80"
Just before Newman left his home he
was called to the telephone. and. after
speaking several minutes, he told his
wife that two strangers from st. Louis
were in town and wished to look at
diamonds with the object of purchasing.
town and see them, and that later he
intended going to Perth Amboy, N, j.,
where he expected to meet a steamship
captain, who had been talking about
purchasing a watch. Before he left he
selected $1,000 worth of diamonds from
those he had i'm the house, saying he
would show them to the two men who
had just telephoned to him and whom
he said he did not know.
Detectives working on the case say
that Newmans accounts with Stern
Brothers were straight and that he had
a credit for $40, 900 established there and
that had he intended to absent himself
he could have obtained diamonds to
that value before going.
His brother n-law, Louis Kapalman,
wealthy Baltimore jeweler, has come
to New York and is leading the search
ers for his sisters husband.

SUCCESSFUL RIVAL
STABBED. II TIMES
BY J|LTED BANKER
John Seiss, Son of Hackensack
HOtel=keeper, Attacked While
with Girl.
Especial to the Evening star.l

HACKENSACK, June 22.-John Seiss,
IS years old, son of George Seiss, a
well-known hotel-keeper, is dying to-
day from seventeen stab wounds, which
he and Miss Agnes Bishop say were in
1icted by her former sweetheart,
Ernest Cavaleri. banker
Cavaleri has been arrested. but re-
fuses to make any statement. The
tragedy, which occurred in the street,
has caused the greatest sensation here,
where all involved are prominently con-
nected socially
Miss Bishop had dismissed the rich
young banker some time ago and he had
been annoying her with efforts to re-
new their friendship, according to what
she told the police.
She accompanied Seiss to a reception
and dance last night, and 1t was early
this morning that they were returning
to Miss Bishops home in Hudson street
when they met Cavaleri
Cavaleri stopped them and Seiss and
Miss Bishop say that he tried to en-
brace and kiss her. Seiss pushed him
away and was going to strike him,
but Miss Bishop asked him to have
no trouble there.
After Seiss had shown Miss Bishop
into her home he returned to the street,
where Cavaleri was waiting. After q
few angry words, Seiss struck the
banker and knocked him down. When
he got up this time, however, he had
a shining blade in his hand, and Seiss
said he attacked him viciously. MISS
Bishop heard the row in the street anc
raised her window and looked out. She
said she saw Cavaleri stabbing Seis'
repeatedly with a weapon which looked
like a stiletto.
Seiss fell to the sidewalk, bleeding
from seventeen stab wounds Miss
Bishops screams attracted the neigh
bors and the police, and Cavoleri was
arrested.
OF the seventeen wounds sustained
by Seiss the doctors in the hospital con-
slider three of them fatal. They are In
