LINES UP OCCUPANTS
TO GET BACK MONEY
PatroIman Enters Saloon and Finds
Negro Craps Gambler Covering
Bartenders and Customers
with His Revolver

At the muzzle of big revolver, w.
Alexander, a negro, lined up two bar
tenders and four citizens in McAIiilan's
saloon at Seventh street and Maple
avenue yesterday afternoon and de-
manded that they return to him money
which, he declares, was taken from him
in a game of craps.
The men were standing at 'atten-
tion,' with the negro waving the re-
volver, when Patrolman Gregory en-
tered the place and placed Alexander
under arrest.
The negro did not like this turn of
affairs and refused to give up his gun
when the officer commanded him to
do so. Gregory grabbed the weapon
and a struggle ensued, Gregory finally
being compelled to knock the negro
down and overpower him.
The proprietor of the saloon was reti-
cent about the affair and stated that
he saw little of the trouble.
The bartenders, John Boyer and VIII
liam Dowdy, say they know nothing
about the trouble. except that there
was some angry talk and then Alex
ander limbered up his artillery and be-
gan a demonstration.
The police say Alexander claims TO
have lost all his money playing craps,
and declares he then fiourished the
wear ON to brighten the winners into
re'urnir-, their gains.

NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK, Nov. r7.-The character Of to-
days stock market was much the same as that
of yesterday. The current of the price move
ment was not consistent at any time during
the day. The show Of strength, which was
considerable was made up of successive al
vances of individual stocks or groups OF stocks'
THESE successive advances were always CON
current with a sagging tendency in other

strong earlier in the day market OIL tliiS
kind suggests artificial support at some points
to facilitate selling at other points.
The decreased animation OF the specuia.ioh
was attributed in a general way to an excess
Of caution and to the extensive rise already
achieved which has reduced the rate OF tue
income yield on everything traded IN. Con-
ferences of traffic officials to discuss proposeu
freight advances also affected these stocks.
There was a movement OF general niliNe ~

Borrowers abandoned their properties to the State, which had to buy them in

There are mar mothers right here in Newark who lock their children up

the horrible deaths O poor tots who unknowhngly played with matches while

Why will mothers leave their little onesw without protection? Surely, if it

If it is impossible tt leave he child with a neghbor why not take it to a

Mothers should be nor careful in this respect
Matches should lot be left within reach OF the child They should be stored

Therefore it is the mothers duty to keep a careful watch over the chile
