NEWARK In HISTORY AND
TRADITION

THIS locality is rich in history
Ever since George II. granted the
charter stating the privilege OF estab,
fishing a markcl at the intersection
OF two very public roads instances
have occurred which mean much to all
who call the place home Perhaps
these choice bits Of information are
Sc carefully boarded by this one and
that, that no one realizes the number
OF interesting Things that might be
collected
Ne are told that the future OF our
Nation depends upon the attitude
taken by the oncOmlng generation. If
their ideals are less lofty, their cour-
age less positive, their determination
less certain, the whole structure will
fall. The teaching oi history is spoken
OF as creating ideas and stirring pat
riotism in "A way to breed good citizen
ship
Again the educators tell us the teach
ing OF history begins with the story
of ones home--of the folk and OBJ.
jects we see about us every day Don't
let us get the idea that nothing de.
serves a place in the story that is not
farm removed from us. Newark has
been in the midst OF stirring scenes.
The more we study about ANYTHING,
the more be know of it. the greater
our attachment for it-until finally it
has taken deep hold upon our al
tection.
Let us delve into the records OF our
past and together build up our story.
If you know anything about your
grandfather, grandfather, great
uncle, etc, come to our columns and
tell the rest OF us. Let us study this
history lesson together, rewriting the
simple chronicle OF colonial town
whose very simplicity shall be the
mightiest reflector oi the lesson we
wish to learn-the story we want to
tell
More than all we want the POST to
be yours--a medium whose columns
are open to you for any service which
is wise and good. 1t seeks to slip
quietly into little niche in the Struc-
ture which is growing into greater
Newark. and only asks to do one per-
sons modest share. Come and give
us your contribution.

LACK OF SOCIAL DIVERSION

A FEW months ago one of our local
teachers, who had been labor,ng faith
fully to raise the tone OF living in her
district, remarked about the conver-
sation which she had helA that morn

From the pleasant chatter, charac-
terstic OF the morning interim when
each youngster is anxious to tell OF
his latest diversion or choicest bit OF
news. she repeated the following:

night"
Were you? What did you do
there?"
"Oh, there was nothing to do but
go to the moving picture show.
Did you enjoy that? What did you

wife and the little girl was crying while
the woman went after the cop"
The teacher added, Il couldn't think

PROSECUTING ATTORNEY
CALLED LIAR IN COURT
United States Government Fails to
Convict Accused for High Financing
During Panic of Three Years Ago
He Issues Statement Telling OF His
Losses Caused by the Trial.
ORY Associated Press.l

NEW YORK, May 12.-Fritz Angus
tus Heinze was acquitted in New
York tonight of charges of misappli-
cation of funds CT the Mercantile Ma
tional Bank while he was president OF
the institution IN 1907; and he was
cleared OF the charge of oyercertify-
ing the checks of his brothers firm,
Otto Heinze & Company. A jury in
the criminal branch of the United
States Circuit Court, after trial last
ing nearly three weeks, found MIN
not guilty at $50 o'clock tonight and
he was discharged.
Thus failed ingloriously the federal
governments attempt to hold Heinze
responsible for financiering, during
the panic of three years ago, alleged
to be in violation of the national
banking laws. Heinze's transactions
were held legal, Notwithstanding the
prosecutions vigorous attempt TO
prove him a gambler with millions
not his own.
John B. Stanchfield defended the
young millionaire; Henry A. Wise,
United States attorney for this dis
tsict, fought to convict him. Mr..
Stanchfield summed up for the de-
Tense this morning and Mr.. Wise de-
nounced the defendant this afternoon.
He is so jubilant he Issued this
statement tonight after his acquittal:

thing | most regret is the long delay
in bringing the case to trial This
delay has cost me between $4,000 900

sons who were anxious to see me
convicted, will be almost as well sat
