lOr, Has lie Heard as Much
as in Jacobsen Action.

davits cad today in the suit of Clara
Jacobsen against her husband, Isadore
Jacobsen, for support for herself and
two children, one 21a years old, the

months ago, when they moved to Fair
mount avenue, this city. and he work
ed as driver for her brothers, who are
dealers in teas, n with whom she
now lived.

serted her on September IA last, and

dlLoiISy, I1SHTy I1dnH, ana Dy dliludfil
said he had offered to help support
the children, and he averred that his
brothers-in-law. the tea dealers, by
whom he was employed, discharged
him from their employ, and that they
and his mother-in-law forced him out
of the house. His wages were SIS a
week from her brothers, but since he
was discharged he earned only from Sc

Jacobsen to pay a weekly sum for his
wife's support, remarking that she was
responsible for herself, but that Jacob
sen must contribute to the support of
the children.

A LOT OF NEW ONES
BEING THE ANSWERS OF
W0ULD-BE CITIZENS.
One Says Constitution Is a Body of
Men-Another that Trenton's
the National Capital.

In the batch of Would-be citizens up
for their final papers before Judge Ten
Eyck, in the Court of Common Pleas
today, there were some of them, who,
as usual. gave woful answer 10 the
questions put by Special Assistant Dis
trict United States Attorney William s.
Gregg. He puts the questions which,
if properly answered, qualify the APP
plicants. They cover much of the sci
ence of Uncle Sans government that
are a matter of common knowledge,
and, as a rule, are answered correctly.
They also cover a series OF personal
questions.
One of the men under fire today was
Wenzel Moeth, born in Austria.
who makes the laws of the coun-
try?" he vas asked.
THE Senate. House and the White
House." vas the prompt reply.
What is the Constitution of the
United States?" was another question.
Republican was his answer.
The court had enough and Moeth was
told to return in three months and look
up matters a bit in the meanwhile.
Another would-be citizen, in answer
to the first question, remarked calmly
that the constitution was "a body Of
men organized to make the laws He,
too, was told to study up.
do you belong to any secret society
opposed to the government of the Uni
ted States?" Mr.. Gregg asked
Michael Lamar, Hungarian-born.
Not yet" was the frank reply.
The same witness, when asked what
form Of government there was in this
country, said that there were two, but
he did not contribute any further to
the history of political science by
enumerating them. He was also ex-
cused.
From another, an Italian. the court
learned that the Governors make the
laws of the United States, and the
same man when asked what the cap
ital of the United States was said that
he thought it was Trenton. but wasn't
sure. He was given six months for re-
hearsals.
Other startling information as, for
instance. hat the President is elected
for life and that Uncle Sam runs a
Kingdom, was flung unfortunately at
the patient court.

MACK IS
A VICTIM OF
FOUL PLAY
Pawtucket Man Disappeared
4Mysterionsly From Saloon
in This City.

Fearing that he ie a victim of foul
play, relatives of John Mack, 81 years
of age, of Pawtucket, r. T., have asked
the Newark police to aid them in their
search for the missing man. He mys-
~teriously disappeared from the saloon
of John Gilmore, on Spring street, this
city, on the night of January 0. Since
that time no trace has been found of
Mack by his relatives.
A singular fact in connection with
the disappearance of the Rhode Island
man is that he left a cheap silver
watch and gold chain, his %overcoat and
an undercoat in Gilmore's saloon the
night he disappeared, asking Gilmore
to look after the stuff, fearing he
might lose it. The saloon was robbed
a week later, and among other things
taken were Mack's watch and chain
and 81 in money. Entrance was effected
through a side window. The report Of
the robbery was made to the police.
Mack came to Harrison on Tuesday,
January Z. He was to have attended
the funeral of a relative in Grant
street, but his arrival was late in the
afternoon n the funeral was over
when Mack reached there, Thursday
night he went to make a few calls in
Newark.
He is known to have visited Gil
more's saloon, and is supposed to have
followed two men tut of the place
after depositing his watch and coats
Since then nothing has been heard
from him.
Carl A. Neisel, of % Ocean street,
Providence, r. l., a nephew of the
missing man, came to New Jersey in
search of Mack. NeiseI is of the opinion
that Mack has met with foul play for
the little money he carried in his pos
session.
He told his story Of the disappearance
to Acting Captain Council, of the de-
tective bureau, who is acting in the
absence of Captain Carroll, who is
home suffering from an acute attack of
neuralgia.
Cornell did not altogether agree with
Neisel that the man met with foul play.
He caused a general alarm to be sent
out to all the precincts, and will in
vestigate further into the case.
Gilmore states that Mack borrowed s.
from him on the night he disappeared,
and that he told him he was going
back to Harrison.

POLICE LOOK
INTO |
IN STORE
Salvage Corps Captain Asks
That Grocer and His
Clerk Be Held.

An investigation is being made by
the police into the fire discovered early
today in the grocery store conducted
by Samuel Cohen at 1922 Morris
Captain Martin of the Salvage Corps
believes Thai the blaze was of incen-
diary origin, and notified the police
who responded to the alarm and asked
them to take the proprietor and his
clerk, a Russian, to the Fourth Pre-
cinct Station. This was done several
hours later. but Captain Vogel released
them without having them slated. He
said that when Martin produced the
evidence the complaint would be taken
Later Captain Vogel sent Plainclothes-
men Kaas and Sebold to investigate.
The store is on the ground foor of IA
four-story double-decker tenement and
shelters about go families. When a
tenant on the third floor happened to
wake shortly after 8 O'Clock smoke
choked him, and on looking out of a
window he saw smoke issuing nom a
window in Cohen's place. The tenant
aroused the members of his and the
other families and turned in an alarm
from box 619, Morris and Fourteenth
avenues.
The iremen found the door locked,
and on bursting it in they discovered
two separate fires. and, they say, a
quantity of oil-soaked paper in another
corner. The stove was filled with coal
in the living room and all the drafts
were on.
Other unusual circumstances sur
round the case, and Captain Martin
feels that the arrest of Cohen and his
partner was warranted.
The inmates of the house afre hur-
ried out clad only in thin garments,
and there was no panic.
Cohen says that he left at $50
Yesterday afternoon to go to New York
t. purchase goods. His clerk closed
the store at 3 O'Clock. Captain Martin
earned that The store usually remained
open until 10 o'clock and some nights
as late as II o'clock, Cohen said his
clerk went to New York to assist him
in carrying back his parcels.
Cohen further said that at l o'clock
they secured a room in q Bowery
hotel or lodging house. and at 3 o'clock
woke up and started back to this city,
in order that they could open the store
at 6 o'clock.
IF they were so anxious" said Cap
tain Martin, they had a bed in the
room off the store, and why didn't
they come home direct?"
The captain pointed cut that the cir
cumstances warranted a thorough in
~vestigation, and explained the danger
in which 100 people were placed. The
FIRE damage was confined to the place
Cohen occupied. The damage WAS
principally TO furniture and stock, and
was estimated at $500.

DOW N
NEW STORE
FRONT
Building Inspectors Use
Force in Making Woman
Comply With Law.

Armed with hatchets, hammers and
chisels. Superintendent William p.
O'Rourke, of the building department,
and four inspectors attacked a new
store front which had been placed in
front of a two-and-a-half story frame
dwelling at 101 Prince street shortly
before noon today, and in less than
half an hour they managed to rip the
material and woodwork which took
several laborers many days to build.
The property is owned by Mrs. Jen-
ME Jenny, and the store is vacant.
Some time ago a permit for the alter
atoms was given, with the understands
ing that the addition would have to
stand back of the old building line.
This agreement was violated, and the
new work projected beyond the line
designated. Despite several warnings
by the inspectors, as well as a few sent
through the mail, the work went on.
The superintendent had previously
communicated with Desk Sergeant
Suehard, at the Fourth Precinct sta
ton and the latter sent Policeman
Spilner to the scene to prevent any
possible interference. There was none,
however, but the bluecoat had his
hands full keeping back the crowd OF
spectators.
The work had been practically COM
pleted and the windows containing n
large plate glass were in their place.
The officials found the door locked,
and it was said that Mrs. Jenny was
in New York. A son was on the scene,
but he claimed he had no key. The
head of the department issued orders.
and the ''wrecking gang" members OF
which were all experienced builders,
went to work with a will found
it an easy task to remove the sashes,
cornice work and other material, in
Guiding the flooring, which projected
over the line. The material was care
fully placed inside of the building.

FIND
FLESH IN
SEWER?
Dug Up by Order Of Police
and Will Be Examined
by Physician.

In compliance with a request from
Captain Christie. of the Third Pre-
cinct police station, the Board of
Works men this morning emptied the
sewer basin at the northeast corner of
Jefferson and Warwick streets, in
search of a bundle said to have been
dropped into it on Friday night by
an unidentified woman. The men dis
covered a mass of flesh which had evil
IDENTIFY been wrapped in a paper
brought to light in the same shovelful
of sediment.
The circumstances of the depositing
of the bundle in the sewer were brought
to Captain Christie's attention by
Patrolman J.. e. Smith, who was told
by some children of the neighborhood.
Two of the children were Pauline
Romank, IL years old, of AZ Nichols
street, and Mary McKevett, 10 years
old, of 211 jefferson street. Plain
clothcsman Brex visited both children,
and learned hat when they were re-
turning from night school at $3.50
O'Clock Friday night they saw a woman
about five feet eight inches tall, wear
ing a black hat and long black coat,
aprpobch the sewer opening and, after
looking in several directions, throw a
bundle into it, thrusting it down with
her foot. The children shouted to the
woman that a policeman was coming,
and then she ran away.
The find was taken to a physician
in the neighborhood, who said that he
was unable to say definitely just what
it was, but he was of the opinion it
was a piece of human intestines.1 By
direction of County Physician Elliott
it was taken to Mullins morgue, where
it will be examined later in the day by
Or. r. S. McCabe, acting for the county
physician.

ELIZABETH, Jan. 21,-What threat
ened to develop into a political tempest
was last night subdued when District
Court Judge c. Addison Swift was
unanimously Endorsed by the Union
County Republican Committee for
Prosecutor of the Pleas to succeed
Nicholas c. j. English, who was not a
candidate for reapopintment.
Ever since the present prosecutor
announced his intention to retire from
the. Office on the completion of his
present term there has been a battle
on for the place. A number of candi-
dates Immediately appeared in the
field, but they all soon withdrew, with
the exception of John IKean English
and Judge Swift.
English, who is a nephew of the
present prosecutor, is the assistant
prosecutor. Swift was formerly as
sistant prosecutor.
Last week the Elizabeth City Central
Republican Committee took up the
matter and English received the votes
of but two members of that body. Both
candidates reside in the Eleventh Ward
of this city, in which English is a Coun-
Gilman, and the two English votes were
cast from the two members from that
ward.
Last night the county committee met.
English again received the support of
the Eleventh Warders and twelve from
other parts of the county. Swift re-
oeived AZ votes, over half of which
come from Elizabeth, the Republican
bulwark members supporting English.
Mayor Charles j.. Fisk, of P1ainfeld,
who had been English's champion,
caused the Swift Endorsement to be
unanimous. -.
