GLoATs OVER NoToRIETY

while riding down on the Ninth
avenue elevated | cast casual gJances
on those around me, as they doubtless
did me. The thought which l desire to
convey is this: How many thousands
would have started for me had they
known the prominent captions my
double crime would warrant tomorrow.
There is a comical and laughable
end to this. / would willingly give
$500, 900 to Rachel Blaikie to head the
beautiful and touching prayer for the
salvation of my soul she will offer up.
Of course / am under a violent strain
and many zof my sentences may. not be
grammatical and many sentences may
be crude. 1t seems to me that God
has told me to do what | proposed do
ing. l have prayed to God no less than
20 times day to show me some way
out of this trouble, and l truthfully
believe he has shown me the proper
way to save my family from disgrace.
GEORGE e. STERRY JR.
Another point / desire to mention.
Two seconds after my father starts
will follow, as the poor old man needs
a guide and guardian. Should we
run across some of the bunch from
East Orange we will glide up a side
street"
Miss Blaikie who makes her home
with the family of Charles H. Clark, a
New York broker, has wide circle of
friends in Newark, New York and the
Oranges. She was Frustrated at the
pnews of the tragedy. She is daughter
of the late Professor William Blaikie
who was for many years member of
the New York legal fraternity and was

WOULD MARRY TEACHER

George E. Sterry Jr. was 40 years
old and with his wife lived at the Man
haitian hotel. The murdered man was
president of the firm of Weaver &
Sterry; the murderer was its secretary.
Sterry's wife died four years ago and
last January he announced his inten
tion of marrying Miss Rachael Blaikie,
a public school teacher of East Or
ange, n. j.
The sons disapproved of the proposed
alliance, but were unable to influence
their father against it. George 5Sterry
Jr. today went to his place of business
as usual, and passing through the office
of his brother addressed him casually
and then entered his fathers private
room.
Five minutes later the reports of a
revolver twice discharged attracted
others to the private Office. The body
of the elder Sterry sat upright in the
chair before the desk with blood trick
ling down the face from bullet hole
in the right temple. Stretched out in
chair near his fathers desk was the
lifeless form of the son. He had been
killed by bullet over the right ear.
His right hand clasped revolver.

TWO DOCUMENTS TELL STORY

The story of the tragedy is told in
two papers, one found in the coat
pocket of the murdered man and the
other in the pocket of his son. The
first was an advance marriage notice
which had evidently been prepared for
insertion in the newspapers. 1t read
as follows:
''Married-Sterry- Blaikie, at Engle-
wood. n. J., June 8. 1905. At the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. Cameron Blaikie
by Rev. D. Eddy of East Orange,
Rachel Blaikie and George Edward
Sterry."
The other paper was in the form of
an open letter and ran like this:
Manhattan Square Hotel, May 1s,
1908
ITO whom it may concern: The
coroner first, l presume. l took a
solemn oath Ito myself) that my father

INTERMARRIAGE OF JEWS
AND CHRISTIANS SCORED
Israel ZangwiIl's Plan Severely Cons
demned by Rabbi in New York.
Upheld by DR.. Hirsch
of Chicago

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-Israel Gang
willis advocacy of intermarriage of
Jews and Christians has been answered
in New York by Rabbi DR.. Samuel
Schulman, who denounced the custom
during his sermon at Temple Bethel
yesterday.
Zangwills plan, he asserted. would,
if carried out efface Judaism and
destroy the Jewish minority in the
United States in three generations The
result would be the humiliation of
the purity and integrity of the Jewish
religion and the unity of the home,
he continued.
Along similar lines Father McClos-
key of st. Francis Xavier's Roman
Catholic church scored mixed marriages
for Catholics He said:
1--WE are confronted by the danger
of perversion on the part of Catholics
who give themselves to such a union.
And it means spiritual ruin for the
children of mixed parents. That fact
must be taken into consideration with
the figures of the last census, which
gave the number as 100000
people in this country OF this number
the statistics show that $4,000. 900 when
asked by the census takers professed
no form of religion. They may be
reckoned as infidels.
statistics show that 60 per cent Of
men who marry non-Catholics give up
their religion. The home life of a
Catholic who marries a non-CathoHc
lacks that spiritual strength necessary
TO faith"

it to two toy balloons to drop over

Maybe it would be a good scheme to
drop this out on the desert just to see
'em boom and boost" he said.
Aeronauts Are JublIant
While Wild and Leroyxez were jubi-
liant in the basket OF the United
States" the day was one of dense gloom
for Captain A. E. Mueller of the Amer
ican" He knew when he went UP Sun

tended to a course over the ocean but

After leaving Dick Ferris on Vermont

travelling southeast and passed Santa
Ana The hopes of surmounting the
range were soon dispelled, fer the bal

Mueller assembled to 5000 feet. hoping to
find a current to the east, but instead
he was carried toward the Pacific over
a fog which shut out all view below.
When the ocean was reached Muel-
Ter dropped the american" until the
trail rope dragged on the waves. The
balloon swerved back to the land, and
at a height of forty feet struck a row Of

"Of course conditions are bound to be
unfavorable at times, and Sunday was
one of the most unfavorable times.
Capt Mueller certainly faced all kinds
of hard luck, and nobody but an aero
naut can appreciate the tremendous
fight he made and the fine exhibition
of ballooning he displayed"
Captain Wild prepared list OF
aeronautic menu, which he said would
give an idea of what Leroyxez and
himself could eat while in the air. He
included in it the following:

vegetables from the Aero club balloon

Dick Ferris is waiting for the result
of Wild's voyage before he makes
known any future plans for Los An

Captain Mueller was warmly com

n few hours before his death. One great
fear in his luGSI moments seemed to be
that he would injure someone else.
Finally he broke loose from his at
tendants and jumped through window.
He was brought back to the house but
later broke away again, and running to
the bath room drank water as If he
could not get enough. He seemed to be
burning up with thirst. Later he asked
that he he strapped to his bed and this
request was complied with.
After one of his parOxysms, just be-

posed to take.
Early Wynterton, Conservative, fol-
lowed this up with reference to the
finding of the Parnen commission by
asking whether amy steps had been
taken to prevent these we'll known agi-
tators from coming to this country"
Gadstone's Answer
Home Secretary Gladstone answered
Mr.. Wynterton in these words:
II am not aware of the intentions of
these persons. Neither of them is the
holder of a license"
John Redmond Immediately jumped
to his feet and hotly appealed to the
speaker.
One of the persons mentioned, he in
formed the speaker, was an official of
the American government and it was
incredible that such epithets were per-
mitted to be applied to a high official
who has been in the service of the
United States for twenty years.
The speaker agreed that if the state
ments in question were not true they
ought not to appear. Mr. Craig offered
to send Mr. Redmond proof of the
truth of the facts stated in his ques-
ton. Mr.. Gladstone, recognizing the
insufficiency of his first reply, supple
mented with the following statement;
"Mr. Ford. so far as 1 know, has not
been convicted of any criminal offense
in this country as regards Mr.. Con-
don, a royal pardon under the great
seal was given him."

DR.. EMIL HIRscH DECLARES
INTERMARRlAGE is PROPER

CHICAGO. Nov. 16.-Dr. Emil G..
Hirsch declared in his sermon at Sinai
temple yesterday that there is no racial
reason why Jews should not intermarry
with non-Jews.
"Intermarriage is universal" he said.
1.-THE Jews have intermarried with
other stocks since Abraham's time. Our
alleged racial purity is a igment of
the Imagination. Moses took a wife who
was not even white. The modern Jew
resembles his English, or German, or
American neighbors, and is nothing
like the Arab, the purest type of Semitic
KNOWN"

she was asking his brother to come to
Laporte to investigate and to bring

CARSON, New, Nov. 16. - United
States District Attorney Platt filed an
other suit against the Southern Pa

granted the corporation to certain
lands in this state.
The complaint sets forth that the
lands are mineral lands and that the
patents were granted under misrepre-

ment mineral lands under agricultural
and timber patents.
The government has had number
of mineral experts in this state during

Danger of War Yet

VIENNA, Nov. 16.-The possibility

and Servia has not yet been eliminated.
A semi-official statement issued here
today states that the Austro-Hungarian
government will be compelled to take
decisive steps if the Servian provoca-
tions do not cease. The dignity of the
dual monarchy forbids it longer to
tolerate Servia's actions. A final de-
cision as to the course of the govern
ment will be reached in a few days.
