OF STAKAWAY
Leader of Robber Band
Will Pro- ably Sign One
Today for Leniency.
WOULD SAVE A TRIAL

According to County Detective
Richard Peltier, an allegation will
probably be signed today by Robert
Stakaway, arrested last Wednesday
as the leader of the most notorious
bandit gang the city has ever known.
Should he afffx his signature to the
statement, Stakaway will practically
plead guilty. throwing himself on
fenced without the formality of a
trial
This course will tighten the SEN
tence imposed upon the alleged rob-
Der and highwayman. He has seven
material charges against him, rang
ms from petit and grand larceny to
assault and attempt to kill If he
valves the allegation and continues
his plea Of not guilty. however, the
sentence will in all probability be
made heavy, possibly exceeding
seven years at hard labor in the state
penitentiary.
Stakaway's record is the most re-
markable the city, if not the county
or state, has ever known. Openly
defying the police for three months,
operating under their very noses, but
each time managing to escape, he
was captured last Wednesday night
after desperate pistol battle with
the police.
He is now in the county Jail at
New Brunswick, having been taken
there Monday. County Detective
Peltier took the complaints against
him, as well as papers in other cases,
to the grand jury tnis morning.

QUORUM WAS
NOT PRESENT

Reorqanize Last Night
With Three Members.
KALETSCH NOT THERE

There was no meeting Of the
Board of Health last night. despite
the efforts of Commissioners G. c..
Sibley, P. N. Kennedy and Robert
Macan to secure a quorum. 1t was
to have been the second regular
meeting of the month and 1t was
generally understood that the board
would reorganize, choose a new pres

tees for the remainder of the unfin-
ished term
Messrs. Sibley, Macan and Ken
nedy arrived shortly before 8 o'clock
and remained in waiting until almost
8 O'Clock. They called up some of
the other commissioners on the tele-
phone, but their efforts proved fu-
tile. They left without making any
arrangements for another meeting.
When Mr.. Sibley, the former presi-
dent, was asked relative to the next
meeting, he said it would probably
be next Tuesday, the date for the
next adjourned session.
Reasons for the inability OF the
board to secure a quorum last night
are not known. Four commissioners
were absent and Of those, only one
was required to form quorum. JUS
tus Kaletsch makes the seventh

Ten District System Instead
of Eight After First
of Month. \
ORDERS OF DEPARTMENT

Postmaster George H. Tice will
today choose two new letter carriers
for the local post Office service and
within ten days his new system of
delivery throughout the city will be-
come effective. A representative of
the United States postal authorities
Will be in this city within the next
few days to make an inspection and
assist Mr.. Tice in carrying out de-
tails of his proposed new delivery
system.
Mr.. Tice received a letter from
government headquarters this morn
ing informing him of what must be
done In order to carry delivery to
the outlying districts of the city and
permitting him to name two men for
carriers. These will be chosen from
those on this years eligible list who
have the highest percentages. After
being decided upon by the postmas-
ter. their names go to Washington
for confirmation. They will com
mence duty on Saturday October / q.
The last paragraph of the govern
ment's letter to Mr.. Tice, which he
received this morning, contains a
statement of vital Importance to all
residents in the northwestern sec
tion of the city who are desirous of
receiving mail delivery service. 1t
expressly states that mail will only
be delivered to those residents in
the new territory who have letter
boxes or other mail receptacles at
their doors. This rule will be en-
forced from the outset when the ex-
tended deliveries begin October / /,
and it is only a question of short
time when the rule will become ef-
fective in districts where delivery is
now established, thus making it gen
eral. Mr.. Tice has received letters
and circulars for distribution to
notify the public to put up recepta-
cles
On and after October the city
will be divided into ten districts for
the delivery of mail. There will be
ten instead of eight delivery routes
The new system will generally i'm
prove the service when once estab-
lished, it is believed. The new divi-
sions have been laid out in such a
manner as to afford the best service
with the least time and labor.

VETERANS ON
MARCH AGAIN
Annual Parade of the Ma
tionaI Encampment at
Atlantic City Today.
ATTENDANCE FALLEN OFF
Special by United Press Wire.


Atlantic City, Sept. 21:-With
hundreds of physicians and scores of
ambulances stationed along the line
of march to prepare for the exhaust
ed veterans whose enthusiasm was
greater than their strength, $4,000
grizzled veterans, members of the
G. A. r.. paraded before Vice-Presi-
dent Sherman and Governor Fort to-
day. Almost faultless weather con-
ditions and a cool ocean breeze
served to prevent the great number
of prostrations which usually add g.
pathetic touch to the annual efforts
of the veterans to once more step to
the rhythm of the fife and drum.
Leaders Of the G. A. R. estimate
that the attendance at the present
encampment has fallen off fully
900 by reason of the action of the
railroad in boosting fares. A move
ment is expected to be formed dur
Ing the week to have congress estab-
lish fiat rate of one cent mile for
all future encampments.
1t is expected that the question of
the General Lee statue will come up
at tomorrow's meeting, but the
movement for grand reunion of the
Blue and the Gray on Gettysburg
battlefield in 1913, has softened
many of those formerly most violent
in their denunciations of the Lee
statue.
