As Halloween comes but once year the small boys and larger ones feel privileged to be out and up to mis- chief, Saturday night was no cxcep- ton in town, and at midnight all the lights were out on Broad street and on High and West Main streets there was but one left to keep that section from extreme darkness. High street was strewn with gates as were other sec tons of the town some being opened wide across the path and others taken off. At some residences chairs were taken from verandas, at others they were left to ornament new place, in one case a willow rocker was taken away and afterwards discovered pro- jectlng from the top of a nelghboring well curb. the pillows and head rest have not been located yet. Young girls in fancy costumes, young men with a color not their own, marched up and down the highways.

BARKAlSA CASE
IN ABEYANCE

Joseph Barkaisa, who is accused
Of embezzling $6O1.51 of the funds
of the First American Slovak Work
ingmen's Association, while he was
its treasurer over two years ago, was
given a hearing last night before Re-
corder Pickersgill.
Lawyer Stephen F. Somogyi repre-
sented him as counsel and contended
that under the statutes the offense
was outlawed unless the defendant
was a fugitive. Whether he was a
fugitive for the past two years is
the point that is undecided and until
It IS settled the case is held in abey-
ance.
Detective HUFF was placed on the
witness stand and testified that he
had searched for the man at the time
and had been told that he had left
town.
FAe police declare that he was a
fugitive, and Mr.. Somogyi claims
that he was not The charge against
Barkaisa is made by a fidelity com
pany who returned 5000 to the asso-
citation after Barkaisa disappeared.
Mr.. Bargaisa was present last night
but the representatives of the fidelity
company were not.
Barkaisa was arrested a week or
SO ago by Detective HUFF on the orig
inal warrant which was issued over
two years ago.

The fire started inside the build
Ing at the southwest end on the first
floor in the rear and, before 1t was
extinguished, the damage reached
$500. The pool room in the rear Of
the saloon was gutted and the back
of the building considerably burned.
The flames spread rapidly and for a
time 1t looked as If the entire build
ing would be consumed.
Patrolman Gutowski, while at Hall
avenue and Elizabeth street at $50
o'clock this morning. saw a burst Of
fame from a window In the rear OF
the building He hurried there and
found that the interior of the place
was blazing merrily. AS Mr. and
Mrs. Peter Zalewski and family oc-
cupied part of the second floor Of the
building the policeman, realizing
their danger, made his way upstairs
through the smoke and aroused
them. By this time the flames and
smoke were spreading rapidly, and
the persons who had been aroused
rushed to the street below in their
night robes
In the meantime the fire had been
seen by Harry Hanson who turned
in an alarm from box 56 at Hall ave-
nue. and Charles street. The fire.
men quickly responded and arter an
hours hard work, succeeded in saw
ing the building, which is owned by
Moritz Rosett.
When the firemen arrived the
odor of kerosene was noticeable, In
and about the building, and later a
gallon bottle was found which still
contained few drops OF the fluid.
The interior of the pool and toilet
rooms had evidently been saturated
with oil, as the place was a seethfng

Two enthusiastic political meet
ings we're held last night.
The First Ward Republican Club
met in Martins hall, and a number
of republican voters from the second

known as "the HILL" assembled at
Andrew Martins place in Sayre ave.
nue.. The latter meeting was inform
al, but was simply called by a few
voters to prepare for a ward meeting
to be held within a week or so. No
candidates were endorsed. Dr. r. G.
Henry was mentioned favorably for
mayor. William H. Pfeiffer seemed
to be their choice for sheriff and G. 9.
Baldwin was the man they favored
for congress. The political situa-
tion was discussed at length and the
names of several prospective candi-
dates were mentioned. The meet
ing was attended by John Poulson,
William H. Fullerton, George Fuller
ton and others prominently interested
In the political campaign.
Edward Koyen, a brother of
Adolph Koyen, who is an aspirant for
the Office of alderman in the hrst

HERON GETS RESPITE:
NOT TO DIE NEXT WEEK
for Writ
Gives MetuChen
Slayer a New
Lease on Life
Fight Assured.

Trenton, Sept. S:--Archie Heron,
who shot and killed the Rev. Samuel
d. Prickett at Metuchen on July 15,
and who has been awaiting death by
electrocution in the state prison, will
not end his earthly career next week,
the time he was sentenced to die by
Justice Bergen. That was settled
yesterday, when formal action be-
fore Vice Chancellor Walker result
ed in the case being referred to the
court of errors and appeals, and con-
sequently deferring execution of SEN
tence until some time in the fall,
anyhow.
Former Judge Charles t. Cowen-
hoven appeared before Vice Chan
cellor Walker, in the absence of
Chancellor Pitney, as counsel for
Heron. His application was for a
writ of error. As is usual in such
cases, the application was refused,
and will go to the court of errors
and appeals 1t acts as a stay of SEN
tence. The move is merely a tech
nicality, but it shows that Heron ia
determined to tight for his life to
4 the end. The slayer has never for
a MON ent conceded that his time is
about up.
The murder Of the Metuchen edt-
tor was a cold-blooded affair. He
was shot down in front of his home
by Heron without the slightest
chance of self-defense. 1t took a
Middlesex county jury but few
minutes to find him guilty thirteen
days after the crime was committed,
and Judge Booraem sentenced him
to be electrocuted during the week
beginning September z.
The defense in the trial claimed
that Heron was insane, and also
that he had been mesmerized by the
pastor of another church, and that
menb of q secret society had In
fiuence over him and compelled him
to commit the murder. The state
/ merely contended that Heron killed
his victim because the latter, as act
iiag recorder, had once sent him tc

CURRIE GETS
EXTENSION OF
TIME ON MAIN
#attssFI #%aattsI EGafia EEGGaafia AAEfsss 10 iiOO AAiiOW
-Four or Five Weeks More for
Start Of Removing Pipe.
no THE LIMIT SPECIFIED

Through his counsel, John w.
Beekman, at the water board meet
ing, last night, Duncan j. Currie,
who purchased the abandoned six
teen-inch main under the Raritan
river few months ago, explained
why it had not been removed, and
asked for a further extension of
time.
At the previous meeting OF the
board a motion had been passed that
Mr.. Currie be notified to appear at
the next meeting and explain why
he had not executed his contract.
When Mr.. Currie was called on to
speak last night he said that Mr..
Beekman would talk for him.
Lawyer Beekman said that his
client had not moved the pipe be-
cause he had been rushed with work
this summer, but that he would be
able to start in four or five weeks, If
the board was willing to grant that
extension OF time He added that
check for $1,000 and that he did not
see how either party would suffer by
the delay. Mr.. Beekman also stated
that Mr.. Currie has already prepared
to commence work and that, as con-
siderable apparatus was necessary, ii
took some time.
In the contract which Mr.. Currie
signed with the board no time was
specified in regard to moving the
pipe, but Mr.. Beekman said that
when no time was specified, the law
said that the contract must be full
filled within a reasonable limit.
The board decided that If the, work
was started in four or Ave weeks
they would be satisfied and granted
Mr.. Currie's request.
A petition, signed by A. Lastein
and Ave others, was received rela-
tive to laying a water main in Law
ton place from Sayre avenue to New
Brunswick avenue. 1t was referred
to the committee on pipe.
