HUNT PRETTY
NEWARK GIRL AS ELOPER.

Though nothing had been heard
from the Providence police at
the time in regard to the
arrest of Joseph Bellevue, a resident of
that city, who came to Newark and is
alleged to have run away with pretty
~15-year-old Ruth Broadhurst, of "a
Commerce street, a complaint against
the ~youngster was made and taken in
the First Criminal Court today by the
father of the girl. The lads arrest is
momentarily expected.
The girl was missed from her home
yesterday afternoon, and a further
search showed that she had taken all
her clothing and other belongings with
her. Bellevue, who had been visiting
here a week, was also gon n on in
formation received that the runaways
had probably gone TO Providence, Cap
tain Carroll, of the Detective Bureau,
wired the chief of police at Providence
to arrest and hold them both.
Later a dispatch was received at po-
lice headquarters here stating that a
careful search had been made of the
Joy line steamer, which arrived in
Providence from New York this morn
ing. and that no trace of the runaways
had been found. 1t is thought that they
may arrive on some other boat or by
train and all incoming "a of travel
will be carefully watched.

MRS. ADELE CRAMER LODGES
COMPLAINT AFTER ROW
Strange Story of Marital Diff
culties Aired When Case Is
Called for Hearing.

Catching another woman's husband
while ~ostensibly availing herself of his
aid to find one she already had, but
who had disappeared. was the feat ac-
complished by Mrs. Adele Cramer, oil
567 Springfield avenue, according to the
statement of Mrs. Barbara Leitritz, Of
the same address, against whom a COM
plant of assault and battery was
lodged by Mrs. Cramer before Justice
of the Peace Bossett yesterday. The
examination has been set for Thursday
morning in the First Precinct Police
Court.
Mrs. Leitritz said that she has only
known Mrs. Cramer since last Febru-
airy, when the two families lived four
doors apart. AT that time Mrs. Cramer
was in possession of her original us
band. Not long after the two became
acquainted Mrs. Cramer persuaded Mrs.
Iaeitritz to come to live on the upper
floor of the house at 567. And then the
trouble began.
First, 1t is said, Mr.. Cramer disap-
peared, leaving his wife to get along
the best way she could. Then Mrs.
Cramer went to her friend and put ii
te her this way:
"You have a husband. | had one,
but he's lost. Why can't | borrow your
husband to help me look for mine?"
Mrs. Leitritz saw no reason why Otto,
which is her husbands name, could moi
be put to the good use, so the two,
Leitritz and Mrs. Cramer. began a tour
of the courts in search of the missing

That was in August. On the night of
October 1, when the two a returned
frcm their daily search, Mrs. Leitritz
happened to look out of the door and,
che says, she saw her husband in the
hallway kissing Mrs. Cramer. Rather
than have n scene with no more evil
denoe than that, she said nothing
about it.
A few nights afterwards she and her
husband were talking about his going
cut rights.
Dearest" he said, ~ love you, and
we can get along very well together If
] can only have a little freedom. The
only thing ] care about is bowling, and
] want to bowl tonight"
lie went, but shortly afterward a
neishbor ran in to tell Mrs. Leitritz
that her husband had met Mrs. Cramer
on the corner. Mrs. Leitritz went to
look for him at all the alleys he gen
orally frequented, but In vain. When
he returned, at II :30, he told her that
he had been bowling all the evening.
Mrs. Cramer. when questioned by Mrs.
Leitritz, admitted, 1t is said, that she
had been out with Leitritz. whereat an
encounter ensued.
AS a result of the fracas Mrs. Cramer
made her complaint. Mrs. Leitritz was
paroled in the custody of Julius Field

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY

Gov. Davidson has issued an
order to the sheriff of Dodge
county, to remove or cause to be
removed from the saloons in that
county all slot machines.
When men expend from three
to five thousand dollars to be elect
ed to a iudgeship, there is some
thing rotten in our election system.
The Legislature has called a halt
on the expenditures of the State
University. The institution should
not be crippled so as to prevent
it doing efficient work, but there
should not be wasteful expendi-
ture of money. For years, the
university has been far to expensive
and the extravaganza has grown
with the years. New departments

Franchise Granted

At the council meeting held Tuesday
evening at the city hall. the expected
happened. and franchise was given the
Milwaukee Light, Heat and Traction
Company to use Second street from Main
going south from the city, the vote of
the aldermen on the passage Of the fran
chise being nine in favor and five against,
one Of the westside alderman voting for
the franchise. There was large crowd
of citizens in attendance at the meeting
and considerable feeling manifested,
especially, after the council adjourned.
1t is reported, that the company will not
accept the franchise in the from, in which
1t passed the council, as it requires the
company to construct a rOadbed which
would be expensive and unnecessary
until after the street has been paved.
Now that the matter has been settled,
that Second street shall be used by the
company instead Of Montgomery in 60
ing south, it is poor judgment upon the
part of the people and council to make
demands which will delay the work of
construction, for all want the lie south
and constructed at the earliest possible
moment, for it will mean much to the
city in way of trade and improvement.

WHAT SHALL 1T BE :?

Senator Aldrich makes an I'M
truthful statement when he says,
that the republican party did not
promise to revise the tariff down
ward. Every prominent speaker
and about every republican jour
nal during the presidential cam
paign last year advocated the cleo
ton of President Taft, and of re-
publican congressman, that the
tariff might be revised by its friends
and those friendly to the protective
system, and not by its enemies. A
revision was promised, by elimina-
ting the protective features of the
Dingley tariff and cheapening the
necessities Of life to the consumers
without destroying its protective
features. For years, it has been
known to those who have given the
subject study and investigation,
that many of the schedule rates are
absolutely prohibitive and produce
no revenue for the support of the
government, rob the home con-
sumner and enormously enrich a few
