Over SI,70O in Gems for
Worthless Paper.
NEWARK DEALER STUNG
FOR ONLY $146 WORTH
Police Today Learn That WOm-
an Caught by Local Detective
Had Extensive Operations.

Developments in the case of Mrs.
Mildred Garner, in the hands of the
police, charged with having given
worthless checks in return for dia-
monds and jewelry, brought to light
today the fact that Dreicer & Co, of
$50 Fifth avenue, New York, had lost
gems in the same way as p. B. Levy,
the Newark jeweler, on whose COM
plant Mrs. Garner was arrested. The
total amount of the checks passed, as
far as the police know at present, is
81, 846, Of which $146 of them went to
Levy and the rest to the New York
firm.
On February 8 Mrs. Garner. whose
maiden name was Mildred Poke, went
to Levy's store, 669 Broad street, and
bought a diamond brooch and a dia
mond ring for $145. A check on the
Federal Trust was made out. The
paper was returned marked IN. G."
Detective Sergeant Tuite, of head
quarters, traced her to Summit. She
had gone to Atlantic City when he got
there. Later word was received from
New York that Dreicer & Co. had ac-
cepted a worthless check from Mrs.
Garner.
The woman was located in Atlantic
City at the Grand Atlantic Hotel by
Tuite. In the closet Of her room he
found two new ring boxes marked with
the name of the New York firm. A
solid gold purse marked IN. p. G." was
also found.
Mrs. Garner was wearing two rings
at the time. both with the stones turned
under her fingers. These were surren-
dered TO the detective. The brooch OBJ
tanned at Levy's vas found in a pawn
brokers' shop, where SIS had been ad-
vanced on it. Another $400 brooch was
left in the pawnbroker's hands.
Until recently Mrs. Garner a been
living in New York, where she kept a
boarding house. A year and a half
ago she ran a similar place at 277 Belle
vile avenue this city.
The woman's ban book, which the
detective also procured, shows hat at
one time Mrs. Garner did run an &C.
count at the Federal, but at no time
was the amount more han $275.

KEAN FIGHTING
BRIGGS FOR PLACE
IN THE BIG FOUR
Fort, Murphy and Baird Are Re-
garded as Sure of Going
to Chicago.

Three of the Republican delegates
at-large to tho national Republican
convention who will probably be
selected at the State convention on
May 5 will be Governor ]. Franklin
Fort, State Chairman Franklin Muir
ply and David Baird, of Camden. The
fight for the fourth place lies between
the two United States Senators, Frank
O.. Briggs and John Kean.
This seems to be the prevailing
sentiment among the members of the
State committee. who met this after
moor at Republican headquarters In
this city.
Which of the Senator'S will be the
fourth delegate is a doubtful question,
but some of the committeeman thought
that the chances favored Senator
Briggs, although Senator Kean is MAX
ing a hard fight throughout the State.
There was a revival of gossip about
the possibility of Governor Fort being
left out, but there is thought to be little
foundation for it. According to custom,
the Governor was invited to the meet
ing ex-officio.

ESSEX GRAND JURY
Sculptor Is Held Under Bail in
Death of BelIeville Ex=
empt Fireman.

The Grand Jury this afternoon o
up the Investigation of the death of
James Fl. Lacl1ey, a prominent eX-
empt fireman. of Belleville. for whose
killing Dominick Walsh, an orchitee-
tural sculptor. of that place, has been
held under bail for several weeks past.
The charge of maslaughter has been
made against Walsh by Chief of Police
Flynn, of Belleville, and it was the re-
suit of the statements made to that
Official that the sculptor during a war
of words began in a saloon struck the
fireman a fatal blow. Walsh has
strenuously denied that he ever struck
Lackey. He says that he did not even
have an argument with him. The scene
of Lackey's death was the street in
front of the Firemen's Hotel, on North
Cortland street.
Mrs. Annie Coelln. who owns the
hotel; l.. Fl. Wolfram, James Marshall
and William McCollum, who are said
to have witnessed the row, were among

BRAKEMAN SAVES
PENNSY EXPRESS
FROM WRECKERS
Obstruction on Track and Rails
Spread Over High Mana
yunk Bridge.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 2S.-An
attempt to wreck the Pottsville ex-
press on the Pennsylvania Railroad by
precipitating the train from a high
bridge at Manayunk, ear here, into
the Schuylkill River, was frustrated by
the accidental discovery of an obstruc-
ton on the tracks by Daniel Parkinson,
a brakeman.
Not only was a steel rail laid across
the tracks last night. but a fish-plate
had been removed and one of the rails
spread in such a manner as to insure a
derailment.
The attempt to wreck the Express is
believed to have been inspired by re-
venge for the discharge of a number
of fereign workmen.

falling truss and Orders, with the col
lapsed brick wall on the Bergen streel
side of the building. greatly alarmed
the children. The school proper al
present during the course of construc-
ton of the new building is on BigeloW
street.
4'The heroism of Miss Kussy and
Margaret Hetzel. whose class-rooms
look out on the rear Of the scene OF
the collapsed truss, is greatly to be
commended. They performed their duty
well. Both of them ordered a fire drill
and the children went out into the
Railways. Then they were taken back
again, but were so frightened that we
thought it best to dismiss the two
classes.
1.-THE greatest difficulty we expert
enced was with the mothers of the lit
tie ones. Thinking that there must
have been a Black Hand explosion due
TO the foolish canards sent out recently,
these mothers literally stormed the
schools. We finally had to call upon
the police to urge them away and con
vince them that there was no further
danger"

JERSEY WOMAN
IN BALLOT BATTLE
At D. A. R. MEET
Mrs. Erastus Gaylord Pulmnn
One of the Vice=Presi-
dent Candidates. ,

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-This is
the most important day of the Cont
mental Congress of the National Society
of the Daughters of the American Rev
olution, not only because it was "elec-
ton day." but because of the interest
attaching to the reception accorded the
Daughters by President Roosevelt at
the White House. Mrs. Donald Nc
Lean holds over as president.
The candidates for vice-presidents-
general presented by the different
States were as follows: For re-elec-
ton, Mrs. Ira Hobart Evans for Texas;
Mrs. Theodore G. Bates, Massachusetts:
Mrs. Truman Handy Newberry, wife of
the Assistant Secretary of the Navy,
Michigan, and Mrs. Drayton w. Bush
nell, Iowa.
For election, Mrs. Erastus Gaylord
Pulmun for New Jersey; Mrs. William
A. Smoot, Virginia; Mrs. Martha Bon
ton Cilley Clarke. New Hampshire;
Mrs. James NJ. Fowler, Indiana; Mrs.
Egbert Jones, Mississippi; Mrs. Ira
Yale Sage, Georgia; Mrs. William q.
Stanley, Kansas, and Mrs. John I.
Stanley, Connecticut.
Ballotting began shortly after he
morning session opened. The announce
ment of the elections will be made to-
night.
The congress was thrown into a state
of feverish excitement when the propo-
sition t. issue bonds for the completion
of Continental Hall was brought up for
action. A clause was inserted limiting
the amount of Indebtedness that could
be incurred for the completion of the
building to 5000, 900. 1t is claimed by
several of the prominent members of
the society that the constitution will
have to be amended if the money to
complete the building is to be Dor
rowed. The Society practically was
unanimous in favor of building the hall.
