IRVING PLACE THEATRE.
Die Forester Christi" ("

The Irving Place Theatre company pre-
sented last night an operetta of genuine
merit, entitled die Forster Christ'I'
(''Christ'l, the Forester's Daughter''). The
piece is Viennese in origin. The book was
written by Bernhard Buchbinder and the
music by Georg Jarno. There was more
than enough in the way of score and plot
to ft out dozen musical comedies Of the
London or Broadway variety
The story OF the operetta is said to be
based on an historical incident The popu-
lar Emperor Joseph II of Austria is mis-
taken while hunting on an imperial pre-
serve for a common sportsman by the pref
ty. vivacious and outspoken daughter OF
the forester. She talks to him about him
self, and also about the Emperor, with
great candor, and takes his watch away
as fine for shooting without a license.
lie Is charmed with her candor and force
OF character, and when an adnlirer of hers
lis arrested for deserving from the army she
goes to Vienna, is treated by the Emperor
with courtesy not unn1ixed with tenderer
regard, and obtains her admirers pardon
and the Emperor's lasting friendship.
The story is told with skill, and the music
is Of much more than average comic opera
quality. Miss Lucie Engelke, of the Met
ropol Theater, Berlin, made her first ap-
pearance here the sprightly forest
maiden. She acted with spirit and sang
most acceptably The performance as a
whole was enthusiastically received. and
deserved all the approval it got. 1t is a
treat to see an operetta presented with a
cast which includes performers so trained
and competent as Director Burgrath, Hans
Dober, Gustave Hartzheim. Carl Schmidt
and Mrs. Neuendorf. Rudolph Koch sang
and acted well in the part of the young
Hungarian who finally wins Christi.

AT FOOT OF HIGH ST.
RAISED ROW
WHEN MONEY
DISAPPEARED

Claiming that he had been robbed
of $57 in the Hotel Central, at Smith
and State streets, John Rhode, of 24s
Grant street, New York, raised such
a disturbance this morning that he was
arrested on complaint of the proprie-
tor, Sigmund Splitter. Patrolmen
Quinn and Harding were called about
1:30 O'Clock to quell Rhodes noisy
clamorings for his money and on his
refusal to be quiet, he was locked up.
Before arresting Rhode, the patrol
men searched the room, they say, and
were unable to locate his money. He
then told them he had it in a pocket
book and he believed it had been alb
stracted from his pocket.
After taking Rhode to police head
quarters the patrolmen say they again
searched the room and this time were
rewarded by finding the supposedly sto-
len money under the bed. Patrolman
Quinn said this morning that the spot
had been gone over in the previous
search, and he thought the pocketbooB
had been placed there after they left
the building.
Rhode vas discharged. He is a ped
dler of canary birds.

AssembIyman Burt P. r. R.
EmpIoye Would Not En-
barras Democrats.

New Brunswick, July 26:-As-
semblyman Edward Burt, who is en-
ployed in Jersey City as foreman of
the Pennsylvania railroad transpor-
tation department, will probably not
be renominated this year, although
under ordinary circumstances he
would be entitled to a denomination.
He is now serving his first term.
Assemblyman Burt will be left off
the ticket this year at his own re-
quest. He realizes that the public
utilities issue will be pushed to the
front this year by the commuters
and others, and he is not prepared to
pledge himself to vote for q rate
making clause in the public utilities
law.
Being affiliated with the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, Assemblyman Burt
feels that his candidacy would pro-
woke opposition in places where the
democrats this year expect aid. Mr..
Burt is well known in Jersey City as
we'll as in New Brunswick.
"Of course ] favor Senator Silzer
for the democratic gubernatorial
nomination." says Burt, but II Sill

AEROPLANE is
READY To GO
Up THIS WEEK

An aeroplane flight at Sea Breeze
on the southern end of Staten Island
Is expected to take place any day.
1t was understood that a trial flight
of the aeroplane belonging to John
T. O'Rourke, a wealthy contractor
of New York, was to have been made
yesterday but owing to the gale Of
wind blowing during the day no at
tempt was made to bring the ma
chine outAfrom under the tent where
1t was put together.
Although the engine on the aero
plane has been thoroughly tested and
the machine run out from under the
tent at times, no flights have as yet
been attempted. In one of these
runs out from the tent last night
the front axel of the forward wheels
was broken. A new one was Sc
cured and the huge biplane Is ready
to fly at any time.
Everybody in this vicinity is anx-
iously waiting to see the first flight
of this machine. Many go down
each day to make visits to the place
to get a glimpse of 1t and to see
whether those in charge are about
to make an attempt to go up in the
air. The brush in that vicinity
where the run will be made before

Chief TO Present
Request at
Meeting.
GIVES REASONS

In a requisition for improvements
in the various fire houses and sup
plies for the different companies
which Chief of the Fire Departments
Theodore Anderson is now prepar4
ing for presentation to the city
council next Monday night, following
an inspection of the various builds
ings by the Board of Aldermen Sat-
urday afternoon, the chief will In
clude a request that a paid janitor
be placed in every fire house. 1t Ia
believed that a list of the divers arr
ticles and repairs needed would
reach an amount exceeding $4,000,
these repairs might wait until the
city appropriation is made UP in JAM
uary, and with the money saved,
1anitors might be employed.
The chief says that he aims to pro-
teet not only the fire houses but
every local building and he further
states that he Is unable to see haw
property owners are to be given
greater protection by adding wall
paper and varnish to the fire houses.
1t Is the intention of the chief to
request that the aldermen employ
men to remain continually In the
houses so that when q night fire oc-
ours, the apparatus will be ready In
a few seconds, Instead of a delay OF
several minutes until the first fire.
man arrives. He believes that COM
petent men can be hired for SOS a
month, men who will care for the
apparatus and the horses, and In
tueiT spera time to execute minor
repairs to the -huildings.
1.-THE aldermen claim, said Chief
Anderson, that they, are hindered
by lack Of funds, yet they intend !
believe, to expend a considerable
sum for repairs and sundries, none
of which are Immediately necessary,
Now, why can't they employ j~anitara'
with that repair money, and allow
the repairs to remain until next
year? The present intentions of the
council members are to repair and
save the fire houses, but why not
convert the money necessary for
this to the use of protecting all To-
cal buildings"
Chief Anderson stated that the de-
lay of apparatus in starting to a
night fire sometimes caused the loss

said, by having a man In each house

Alderman-at-large voorhees, when

of placing janitors in the vartg1s
buildings, said that eventually this
would become necessary, but until
the next appropriation was made up,
he saw no hope for 1t.

PAYS $40 FOR
SUNDAY DANCE

Arraigned before Recorder Pick
ersgill this morning on a charge of
permitting a public dance to be con-
Quoted Sunday In a hall in the ear
Of his saloon, Stanislaus Moritko, a
saloonkeeper, of 226 State street,
was this morning fined $40, and for
his refusal to answer the question of
the recorder as to whether he was
guilty or not, Moritko was also COM
PEELED to meet the costs of the case,
$2.75. The saloonkeeper finally
pleaded guilty to the charge. but
said that the jewellers were mostly
children.
Patrolman Andrew Jensen, who
placed Moritko under arrest Sunday
afternoon after finding the dance in
progress, testified to entering the
hall and finding about forty dancers
on the floor. He was first attracted
to the pavilion, he said, by the
strains of music and sounds of shut
fling feet Issuing from the rear of the
saloon.
Several young girls whom he met
outside, the patrolman said, told him
a private party was holding a carni-
val In the hall, but on investigation,
he found two girls accepting admit
lance fees at the door. Two local
musicians, Patrolman Jensen fur
Their stated, were furnishing music,
and on being questioned, admitted
they had been paid for their ser
vices.
The patrolman told Recorder Pick
ersgill he had ordered Moritko to
close the place, but he al met with
a refusal and was told that a COM
mittee was OF its way to see Mayor
Bollschweiler. Moritko was placed
under arrest and told to appear at
police headquarters yesterday,
which he failed to do.
The saloonkeeper, 1t appeared this
morning, tried to shield himself by
protesting that there were only chill
dren in the hall, but Chief Burke
said that was all the more reason
why he should have prohibited the
dance. Moritko was released on his
promise to Immediately pay the fine.

Until the act became effective, police
officials, whether in uniform or not
and whether on duty or not. rode
on trolley cars through this city.
The City Attorney believes that
the orders to trolley crews with re-
spect to the new 1910 act, were gen.
eral and that the employees of the
Public Service In this city received
them as others did, without their
employers looking up their franchise
here. There seems little doubt but
that the ordinance OF the city, with
respect to this question, will stand;
furthermore, the City Attorney be-
lieves the Public Service does not
want to become antagonistic towards
police officials in any city.
Under the new act, giving uni
formed officials In discharge of their
duty, permission to ride on trolley
cars, the deputy health inspectors of
this and other cities may ride If
they choose to. That will end the
fight which the local Health Board
inaugurated against the Public Ser
vice Railway Company last year.

COPS CAN RIDE
WHILE ON DUTY

That the City of Perth Amboy
will undoubtedly experience little
or no difficulty In holding the Pub
lie Service Railway Corporation to
the terms OF the franchise issued
the first traction company in this
city, was the opinion of City Attor-
ney Hommann today. City officers,
in the performance OF their duties,
will therefore probably continue to
ride on trolley cars free of charge,
when in uniform.
1t is believed that the recent law,
permitting only uniformed officers
of any city to ride on trolley ears
while in the discharge of their duty,
will not repeal the ordinance of this
city granting the franchise, under
which the Public Service Company
now operates its carr
However, as the new act and the
city ordinance state that officers
shall ride when in the discharge of
the duties, no official of the city,
when not on duty, will be permitted
to ride as they have In the past.
