PENCE
COLLECTION TO
Be MADE SUNDAY
Bishop O'Connor Sends Circular
of Explanation to Priests
of Diocese.

Sunday next the annual Peters pence
collection will be made in every
Catholic church in the diocese of New
ark. Among the questions asked at
the mission for non-Catholics last Sum-
day night in st. Joseph's Church was:
What is done by the Pope with the
great amount Of money collected for
him every year all over the world?"
Father Courtney answered that much
of 1t was used to carry the gospel Of
Jesus Christ to the people of the far
East. in Japan, China n other pagan
i countries, and the balance was used to
support Pope Plus x. at the Vatican
in keeping with the dignity of one who
Is the spiritual guide of over 300, 600. 900
souls.
Bishop O'Connor sent a circular letter
to every pastor in the diocese in which
he commended priests and people for
the very large sum contributed last
year, the largest yer raised in the
diocese, and for which the Pope sent a
personal letter of thanks n his bless
ing for giving SO literally to assist him
in the work of p~ropagating the faith
and safeguarding it.. The bishop also
reminded pastors and people that the
fftieth anniversary Of the Pope's or
dination as a priest will be observed on
November IS, and pilgrims from all
parts Of the world will be in Rome
then. The expenses will be very heavy,
and therefore the faithful should o
tribute literally Sunday next.

CHARGED
WITH PERJURY IS
PAROLED BY COURT
Action Against Miss Kane Called
Cheap Method of In
timidatiOn.

A lightning change from the role of
complainants in successful actions
brought against the Public Service Cor
poration to defendants in an action
brought by the corporation charging
perjury, which was made yesterday
afternoon by Miss George Kane, the
former London music hall soubrette,
and Asad Flute, an aged Syrian, was
briefly rehearsed in the First Precinct
Police Court today. After the judge
heard both sides he paroled h pris-
oners.
To Miss Kane the jury had awarded
a verdict of SO, 500 and to Flute a YER
dict of 5000 for injuries alleged to have
been sustained In trolley accidents. Be-
fore the former actress had been noti-
fed of the verdict In her favor she vas
taken into custody at her home, ITS
Lafayette street, and Flute was ar
rested at about the same time at Is
Madison street.
When arraigned before Judge Howell
in the First Precinct Court today, Miss
Kane and Flute were paroled In The
custody of their attorneys, but not un-
til after a spirited passage between
counsel for the opposing parties. 1t
was asserted by counsel for Miss Kane
that her arrest was simply a cheap
method of intimidation on the part of
the traction company, and this state
ment was holly resented by the COM
pany's attorney. The attorneys finally
agreed that the action against Miss
Kane should DO set down for a hearing
on next Saturday, and that against
Flute on Saturday, October II.

TWO SEPARATE
CAMPAIGNS BY
THE REPUBLICANS
New Idea Party Will Permit Its
Speakers to Appear at
Regulars Meeting.

That it should conduct a separate
campaign from that Of the Republican
County Committee was the decision Of
the executive committee of h Repub-
lican League settled on at a meeting
late yesterday in the headquarters, 90
Bank street. This will mean a dupli-
cate campaign, but the committee de-
cided that 1t would accept the services
of New idea men. so far as their
speaking at meetings arranged by the
Regulars campaign committee was con-
cerned. This committee also met yes
terday.
To the extent of allowing its speakers
to appear at meetings arranged by the
Regulars, the New Idea party has &C
quiesced with County Chairman Alfred
N. Dalrymple.
The league meeting was a lengthy one
and brought out considerable discus
sion, in which 1t was evident that the
members of the committee did not wish
to retreat from the stand taken last
week by Senator Colby in his CORE
~spondence with Mr.. Dalrymple.
AS affairs stand at present, the New
Idea candidates will be at the disposal
of the county committee.
The executive committee of the
league decided, however, to ask the
advisory committee for power to act
without reference to the latter during
the campaign. The advisory committee
will meet tomorrow night, when this
request will be presented.

shoes and carried damp leaves into the
house, the marks of several shoes and
leaves being in evidence on the highly
polished floor. ' Two drawers containing
silverware were taken from a bureau
and carried out under some shrubbery.
Some Undertaking was also taken
from a line next door to wrap UP the
