HARRISON SEA CAPTAIN
SAILS WITH AUTO CARGO.

It was some sea-dog who. in the
person of Captain Norris Baker,
cruised over from his home in Harri-
son to New York today, got abroad his
gigantic freighter, Ell Occident. of the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company's
feet, and sailed her down the bay
upon her maiden trip to New Orleans,
lte~raliy.leaaed to the guHvfhales with
automobiles.
Captain Bakers claim to ultra-dis-
tinction rests by no means alone upon
the fact that he has sailed the boats of
the Southern Pacific as captain for
twenty-five years and is now in COM
mand of one 430 feet from rudder to
PROV. He has a letter from Admiral
Robley D. Evans thanking him for
virtually saving the Presidents yacht
three years ago when. just after the
President and his family had disem-
barked,s her engines broke down and
she was drifting hard upon the rocks.
Captain Baker lowed her into harbor
safely. Hence the thanks of the nayy's
eommander-in-chief
Captain Baker lives at 500 Cross
street, Harrison, where he meets his
family for a day or two on return
trips from Galveston every two weeks.

CHURCH vANOAlS
MAKE ATTEMPT TO
ROB TABERNACLE
Vestments Stolen from st. Rose
of Lima's Catholic Edifice,
Short Hills.

Thieves. who were de old of all re-
spect for things sacred, entered st.
Rose of Lima's Catholic Church at
Short Hills early today and, besides
stealing precious things from the
affairs, made an unsuccessful attempt
to break into the tabernacle of the
church.
They got into the vestry and took
several sets Of vestments; and, using
a knife, cut off the valuable lace and
left the rest of the garments behind.
The rector of the church, h Rev.
James T. Brown, sat up reading In the
rectory until 1 o'clock, and the
burglars apparently saw the light dis
appear and then went about their task.
They first entered the church and
took a large u from the main altar
and also two smaller rugs from the
side affairs. A linen cover was also
taken. The thieves then went n the
sanctuary, and the vestry.
The fine ACE was cut from an alb
with a knife, and the lower seton Of
this raiment was left. Evidently they
then made an effort to get into the
tabernacle. Taking several candles
from the church the men then went
the s~choolhouse adjoining and stole
two alarm clocks.

MILLBURN,

WILL CONSIDER
AGAIN COMPLAINT
AGAINST ERIE R. R,
Especial to the Newark start

TRENTON, Dec. 6.-The Board OF
Public Utility Commissioners today
announced that 1t would give further
consideration to the complaint filed by
Mayor Louis Brock. of Kearny. in
which he charged that the general re-
vision of passenger fares on the Erie
railroad still discriminates against
those desiring to use the Arlington and
West Arlington stations.
When the original complaint was
filed the commission laid the matter
over because the railroad company said
that a general revision of the passen-
ger fares was in progress. ana when
completed would cure the trouble COM
planned OF. Mayor Frock consented to
the adjournment of a hearing of the
complaint until the revision was COM
pleted.
Now 1t appears that although the re-
vision has been completed the mayor
still insists that conditions have not
been improved to any great extent.
Upon this statement the board has de-
cided to reopen the case.

AGED MAN, WHO
SLASHED THROAT,
WILL RECOVER
Charles Rogers, II Years Old,
Did Not Want to Have
Lingering Death.

Notwithstanding the fact that he Is
II years old, the condition of Charles
Rogers, who attempted suicide at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Eva Chan-
Ter. q Walnut street, south, East Or
ange. Yesterday by slashing his throat
with a razor, is such that 1T is oelleVed
by attending physicians that ne VIII
recover. Rogers, it is believed, sought
self destruction in order to end a
lingering illness.
He was discovered by his wife, be-
tween 5 and 6 o'clock, lying fully
dressed in a pool of blood on the floor
of his bedroom, with slashes of a razor
across his throat and a deep cash on
his wrist. So determined, apparently,
was he at self-destruction that after
slashing his throat he lacerated his
wrist with the razor to make death
more certain.
According to the police Rogers had
retired to his room, as was his usual
custom in the afternoon, apparently in
the best of spirits, Notwithstanding
the intense suffering which he was
undergoing.
AS is the usual custom in the Chan
Ter household the night meal is pre-

the call for his meal before going
downstairs. When the supper was
ready Rogers's wife went to his bed
room. Mrs. Rogers found the body lay
ing motionless on the carpet.
Screaming to the inmates of the
house downstairs, Mrs. Rogers sum-
moned help. Considerable difficulty
was experienced in quieting the wife
who is also well advanced in years.
Hastily summoning DR.. Groves, a
hasty examination by the physician re-
xealed the fact hat the wounds were
probably fatal. Efforts to stop the flow
Of blood we're made and a call was sent
for the Record ambulance. Mr.. Rogers
removed to the Orange Memorial
Hospital where it was found that his
rounds will probably result in his
death.
