NEWhRKERS SENT
THOUSANDS TO
FOLKS At HOME
Than s25O,0O0 in Money
Orders Issued in 20 Days
Before Christmas.

Figures compiled by Superintendent
Edwin c.. Dunn, OF the money order de-
partment of the p~ostoflce, and sub
mitted to Postmaster James L. Hays
today show several interesting facts
about the international affairs of Santa
Claus.
For the twenty days beginning De-
cember /, $3.50, 971.26 passed across the
money order windows in the local office,
and the average weekly business was
$S9,S50.42, which is very large. There
were 4,408 domestic money order is
sued, amounting to SAB, 457 .9S, but S,5S6
international remittances amounted to
nearly the same sum, $40, 194.45.
Great Britain leads the rest of the
amount of her remittances. Her sub
jects in Newark sent 1,706 remittances,
the average being $11.40.
BY far the largest number of these
went to Ireland, indicating the Irish
mans loyalty to his relatives at home
in a striking manner on the other
hand, Teutonic thrift nd fealty is re-
yealed in the average amount sent to
Germany. $11.10, by SIS persons.
The Italian makes IL good Santa
$4,000 ~ " ibN VI lbNlli SNllI ONCI ali
average OF $12.2O each. Two hundred
and eighteen former subjects OF the
Little White Father remembered their
friends in Russia with average remit
tances of S10,3 Sc, but their Christmas.
owing to the fact hat Russia's calendar
is two weeks behind ours, will probably
continue for a few days, while the other
foreigners have almost all sent theirs
on their way.
Other countries are as follows:
Austria, 222 orders, $3.50; Hungary,
172 orders. 1915; Sweden, Ill orders,
5000; Switzerland, 81 orders, 1922;
Norway, 81 orders, $11.5 so; France, %
orders, $12.32; Greece, 25 orders, $16.1 10;
Denmark, 25 orders, $11.05; Belgium, 9
orders, S22; Holland, A orders, S10.50;
Australia, 4 orders, $25; Holland, |
order, $40; China, / order, "a; Mexico, l
order, 81.
Another significant fact is that the
total amount of money order business
this year shows an increase over last
year The effects of the October, 1907,
business depression are wearing off.
The foreign money order business
usually begins December 1 and lasts
until the 18th, the heaviest days. being
the 9th, bLn ana itn Dut this year the
18th and 18th were the heaviest days,
indicating that the people were de-
sirous of sending money, but deferred
the matter until the last minute.
The bulk of the domestic money order
business usually m on De-
cember 20 and lasts up to the day be-
fore Christmas. On the first-named
date the money is usually sent to the
Pacific coast and surrounding cities,
taking from four to five days to reach
destination, and the nearby places fig
IRE on the time proportionately, so
that the money orders will arrive on
the eve OF Christmas.

CONSTABLE BACK, BUT
TAPACK STILL MISSING.
Paterson Officer Says He Had
No Right to Hold Man Wanted.

PATTERSON. Dec. 22.-There was
much surprise in Sheriff Van Noort's
office today when Constable John f.
Kearney, who had been directed last
Wednesday to take Louis Tapack TO
jail, and who, with the prisoner, had
not been seen or heard from, put in an
appearance.
Tapack had been bailed in the amount
of $4,000, pending a new trial, that he
had robbed the Neuviller Silk Com
pany. The first trial had resulted in
his being sentenced to three years in
States prison. An appeal was taken,
and when his bondsmen learned that
he contemplated leaving the country
they surrendered him to Kearney, and
today Kearney said that all he had at
the time was a summons from the Dis
trict Court. on which an arrest could
not be made.
Ward and McGinnis, counsel for Ia
pack claim that Kearney speaks the
truth about not having the right papers
to make the arrest.

FAMOUS GILSEY HOUSE
DAMAGED BY FIRE.

NEW YORK, Dec. pa fire which
started in the Gilsey House, one of the
famous hotels on Broadway, today
threatened at first to destroy the
building. Spreading through the fifth
floor. the flames soon were leaping out
of the windows. and a great crowd was
attracted, which for a time completely
blocked traffic on Broadway at that
point. The firemen were able to con-
fine the flames to the fifth floor and the
fire was quickly controlled. There were
not many guests in the hotel at the
time, n it is believed there was no
loss Of life.

ferences were charged for. If / re-
ceive a bill for 500, 900 I want to know
what the transactions were. This may
have been done as a cover, but unless
the evidence is overwhelmingly to the
contrary the case should go to the
jury"
Gamble, Says Kalisch.
When Mr.. alisoh opened for the de-
Tense he insisted that the transaction
was peculiarly of a gambling nature.
1T is for you" he told the jury, Ito
say what the facts in the case were.
l think we shall be able to show you
clearly that these transactions were
purely and simply gambling transact
tfons during the twenty-siX months that
nre involved. There may have been
some out and out purchases by the de-
PENDANT, but for these purchases he
put up cash by the deposit of a small
amount of money to be controlled
wholly by the market, and there was
to be only a settlement of the differ
ences.
There Is simply a statement as to
o the account stood on these mar
glnal differences. There was no inten-
ton to make a delivery Of the stock.
1t was Mr.. Meyers understanding all
the while that the stock should be de-
livered t o him.
Mr.. Kalisch added hat the stock that
was delivered was stock bought by Mr..
Meyer for his wife, and hat he got the
money from his wife and paid for 1t.
Van Schaick & Co., he insisted, knew
that II vas Mrs. Meyers money that
was being used. and hat 1t would APP
pear that interest or interest was
charged. which was not lawful.
Mr.. Meyers surprise came, Mr.. Ka-
lisch told the Jurors, when he learned
that some of the stock Mr.. Meyer told
them to sell they did not sell IN his
order. probably %speculated with it
themselves"

RESIGNS,
BEATS HIS FLOCK
BY. TEN MINUTES
Lived at Home of Young Widow
and the Church Women
G~ossiped.

Ten minutes before the board of trus-
tees of the fashionable Cedar Grove
Congregational Church met with a for
mulated resolution demanding the
resignation of their pastor, the popular
young Rev. Peter d. Macintosh, affec-
tionately known as the little minister, -
submitted his resignation and an
nounced that his connection with the
church was terminated.
The trustees thereupon passed a reso-
luton to build a rectory connected with
the church and make it compulsory for
the rector of the church to live in 1t, be
he single or married.
In the meantime the church is seek
ing a successor to the Rev. Mr.. Mac
Intosh-a married pastor preferred.
Mr.. Macintosh, who is single, boarded
with Mrs. Jennie Taylor, an attractive
widow and one of the leading spirits
in the church, which includes in its
congregation many of the more exclu-
sive and wealthy families living in the
vicinity of Cedar Grove.
Mrs. Taylor insists that several othcr
members of the congregation did not
favor the plan of the pastor living at
ifNi hOhoC anu StdElCu GOSSIP. III Is
known that a number of women called
on various members of the board of
trustees and reported things which they
said they had seen and observed.
Pastor Called to Meetin<.
An investigation was begun by the
members of the board, which included
Edward A. Jacobus, Robert Chesney,
Philip Evans. John J. Vreeland and
Herbert H.. Jacobus, inc a meeting was
called at the church last evening. The
pastor was notified to be present. and
1t was apparent that some pointed
questions were to be asked. When Mr..
Jacobus was asked today if Mr.. Mac
Intosh had resigned voluntarily or had
been deposed he said:
He beat us by a few minutes. When
things got so that we could not stand
it any longer the trustees held u meet
Ing and we decided to formulate a bill
of complaint and ask for Mr.. Mac
Intosh's resignation.
But, just when we were ready to
spring the coup we find that he called
and left his resignation ten minutes
before time to call the meeting. Con-
s%equently no charges are made. The
incident is ended"
But the trustees did decide that they
would proceed at once to the erection Of
a rectory 'in which the pastor of the
flock must reside.''
Widow Is Indignant.
Mrs, Taylor is indignant that the con-
gregation should be excited. She de-
clares that there is absolutely no war
rant for the talk hat has been agi-
tating Cedar Grove; that Mr.. Mac
Intosh was a boarder in her home, pay
ing for his board; that she, as a faith
full member of the congregation, took
Mr.. Macintosh into her house to give
him a pleasant home and help him in
his work, and that there We're a lot of
the other women who were jealous.
