BOLO POLICE MANS
BUSY REVOLVER
ROUTS BURGLARS
Weber's Tale Thrills Detectives,
but They Are All from
Missouri.

When Patrolman John f. Weber of
the First precinct reported "off duty"
at $40 o'clock this morning his slip of
doings on his post over night gave his
brother officers thrill and sent the
detective force scurrying.
Briefly, it told of an attempt by burg
lars to get into the palatial home CT
w. Campbell Clark, millionaire mem
ber of the firm of the Clark Thread
Works, and how he had scared them
away by firing his revolver.
The Clark home is at 1910 Broad
street The family is away, and the
house has been closed all summer.
Painters and decorators have been at
work the past few days renovating 1t
preparatory to the return of the
family.
Patrolman Weber says that at 1:15
a. m. he found the side gate of the
Clark home open Drawing his re-
volver he went into the yard, and, he
says that as he did SO he saw two men
leave the basement. They ran toward
the seven-foot concrete fence on rhe
East Kinney street side. He fired his
revolver as they scaled the fence, re
says, and one of the men uttered
veil. He thinks he hit him. his report
says:
Immediately on receipt of the report,
Acting Captain Connell sent several of
his detectives to the house They
looked for blood spots and found none.
they say. They did find some foot
prints in the shrubbery near the fence,
but these, the detectives say, likely
were made by the painters. The base
ment door was painted yesterday and
there wasn't any sign that it had been
disturbed, say the investigating detec
tives.
The detectives also quizzed the cook
in the home of DR.. Herman C. H. Her
old, next door, at 1912. She told the
detectives that she was up at l o'clock
and didn't hear any unusual noise or a
pistol shot. She said that 1t was pos
sible, however that the noise of pass
ing trolley car might have prevented
her from hearing the shot Policeman
Weber says he fired.
Weber has been summoned to police
headquarters this afternoon to tell in
detail more of the alleged attempted
burglary.

WOMAN AND A
MAN DROP IN
STREET STARVING
But Little Hope for Recovery of
Man Who Is 7S-Mystery
Attaches to Woman.

During the past twenty-four hours
two persons suffering from hunger
have dropped fainting in Newark
streets. 1t was necessary to give both
hospital treatment, and the condition
of one, James Mullin. rs years old, re-
mains SO serious that 1t Is thought he
cannot recover. The other, Mrs.
Eleanor Pierce. 81 years old, of 413
Locust street, Aldene, was able to
leave the City Hospital after she was
revived and given nourlshment
Mullin is a derelict, claiming no
home He fell senseless to the side
walk at Hudson and Warren streets
late yesterday and persons who went
to his assistance could see that the old
man was actually starving to death.
The City Hospital ambulance conveyed
him to that institution. There con-
seriousness was restored, but the pa
tient remains weak and there is indi-
cation that his advanced age will make
it impossible for him to survive his
experience. Nothing regarding the
mans history has yet been learned.
The case OF MIS-. Pierce mas elemeHlS
of mystery. She is the wife of a sec
tion foreman, William Pierce, and the
couple have a home in Aldene, She
tainted at the -Four Corners" just
after midnight and was removed to
the City Hospital. There the doctors
made a diagnosis of syncope or faint
ing spells induced by prolonged hunger.
The hospital authorities were unable
to learn why she was in Newark and
hungry. She said she had had nothing
to eat all day, but did not say why.
She left the hospital this morning.

ACTING MAYOR IS
AFTER SCALP OF
n. Y. POLICE HEAD,
John Purroy Mitchell Demands
That Mayor GaynOr Remove
Commissioner Baker. ]

NEW YORK. Sept. 2O.-Acting Mayor
Commissioner Baker be removed On
the ground of unfitness in permitting
gambling to flourish in the city un-
checked Mr.. Mitchell said that Com
missioner Baker in letter to him had
showed insubordination.
The acting head of the local govern

last night and laid before him the en-
tire police situation including Commits

public and to leave the police matter
in allegiance until his return, which he
promises will take place within few

mended dismissal of Commissioner
Baker, whose letter to him he oonsid-
cred insubordinate
Commissioner Baker Replies.
Commissioner Baker this afternoon
gave out statement in which he said

day when it took up the gambling sit
uation investigation.

DR.. PH|L.P0T GAVE
WIFE DIRTY tOAP,
NURSE DECLARES
Rich Dentist Provided Popcorn
and MoIasses as Dainties,
She Also Says.

That strenuous economy marked the
marital career of Dr. William c. Phil
pot, the rich dentist, of 114S East Jersey
street Elizabeth, whose wife. Mrs.
Clara NJ Philpot, is seeking divorce or
the ground of desertion, was testified
to at the hearing brought to a close be-
fore Vice Chancellor Stevens today.
Decision was reserved after counsel had
summed UP and the loose threads of
testimony had been gathered together
to weave the legal fabric by which she
seeks freedom.
It was Miss Eugenia Dubs, trained
nurse, who told about the purchase Of
five cents worth of rolls and molasses
popcorn by the dentist for his wife
when she wanted dainties after the
birth of their boy, July 49, 1906. Miss
Dubs swore also that she was in at
tendance on the mother three weeks
after the birth of the boy and to this
the dentist objected, presumably for
reasons of economy.
"Dr. Philpot wanted me to quit at
the end of the second week." so the
nurse put it, but Mrs. Philpot did not
mend rapidly, and it was only through
the attending physician's insistence
that 1 was kept on"
Provided Dirty Soap.
Then she went on to say that on an
other occasion she asked for a piece Of
soap for her patient, and the husband
dirty to be used, and insisted on
knowing what 1t was for.
II told him." added the nurse, "but
he did not get another, and Mrs. Cross,
Mrs. Philpots mother, went out and
got soap that / could USE
On still another occasion, so the
nurse said, she needed another mat
tress for Mrs. Philpot, but the dentist
refused to get one on the ground that
he could not afford it. He eventually
however, bought a mattress. after the
nurse had complained to the attending
physician.
Miss Dubs was sure that the dentist
"lacked in finer feeling toward his
wife and that she was frequently com
PEELED to ask him to leave the sick
room.
Was Not AHectionate.
~.Dr Philpot showed no affection for
the newborn baby" Miss Dubs also
testified, during all the time / was at
the house. He would always talk about
the things needed lseing so expensive.
I had a great deal of trouble to get
proper food for Mrs. Philpot, and when
il came at last it was time for me to
leave the place.
"Dr Philpot," the nurse added with
a sigh, wanted me to cut down my
charge for attendance on his wife, al
though the price was the regulation
one and had been agreed upon when
/ was engaged"
Besides all this, she was certain that
Mrs. Philpot was not dressed "as be-
utted the wife of man in DR.. Phil
bots position"

A Denuded Platform.
The platform as 1t came from the
subcommittee is standpat almost to
the utmost degree.
1t contains no promises. for rate
making public utilities bill.
A motion to include such a provision
was made by Frank H. Sommer in the
State committee, seconded by John l.
Blair Reilley, of Warren. but 1t was
voted down.
1t contains no plank for the extension
of direct nominations to Candidates Ior
Congress and governor
Mr.. Sommer made motion In the
State committee for such provision
but it was not seconded.
Efforts made by Mr. Sommer in the
State committee for physical valuation
of public utility properties, blanket
ballot, publicity of campaign funds ana
limitation of campaign expenditure
were also voted down.
The platform indorses the admins
tration of Taft as it comes from the
subcommittee, gives whole-souled ap-
proval to the Payne-Aldrich tariff law
and stands by the administration or
Governor Fort in State affairs.
The state committee spent two hours
tinkering with the platform this morn
ing. Many changes were made, but
nothing was done in the way of grant
ing concessions to the progressiVes.
There is little in the platform as 1t
comes from the sub b-committee, except
an employers liability plank and pri-
mary and election reform promises
and It was by no means certain Wheh
the convention was called to order that
1t would not be changed in important
instances by the resolution committee
Consequently, no copies of 1t We're
given out, Subject to release ana
change" as is usually done.
The Uniucky Thirteen.
Former Governor Murphy, in his
capacity of chairman of the State com
mittee, was literally applauded when
at thirteen minutes after IL O'Clock ne
formally opened the convention py

vention.
The Rev. Isaac L. Wood, of Trenton,
offered prayer and then the chairman
a
chairman of the convention. The lat
ter began his address by saying what
the platform committee hopes to no.
indorsing the national and State admin
istrations, and replying to Democratic
platform charges of extravaganza in
the State administration.
'I congratulate you" said Chairman
Wilson, "in having the proud distlnc-
ton of a birthright in the great Repub-
lican party. 1t means something 70
have followed the leadership of Lin
coin. Grant, Garfield, Mckinley and
Roosevelt"
AS each name was mentioned rip
pie of applause followed, but any at
tempt to create real enthusiasm failed
until the chairman said:
your enthusiasm means much and 1t
means more when | come to the name
of the wise and tactful Taft"
For half minute the house rung with
the cheering, but it soon subsidized and
there was little to suggest real politi-
cal convention
Even reference to the ''vagaries of
Bryan" provoked but little comment.
This was followed by the speakers

of insurgency that is now abroad. One
class he characterized as those who
make their fight within the party ranks.
