Husband Is Innocent.
Especial to the Newark Star. ]

MT. HOLLY, June 15.-The officials

confident today that the theft of the
$4,000 supposed to have been taken by
Clifford Shelley Heller, the missing as.
sstant cashier, was committed be.
tween l o'clock and Saturday after.
noon. Heller's home, a modest dwell
ing, adjoins the bank and is connected
with it. There is an entrance from
Sone to the other, which Is not visible
from the street.
Heller knew of heavy deposits made
In the bank Saturday morning.
AT l o'clock Mrs. Heller left her home
on shopping trip, and did not return
until nearly 6 o'clock. Nothing unusual
In her husbands manner was remarked
by her. He had remained at home with
the two children, Grace. II, and Cliff
ford, jr.. aged s.
The following morning the family
went to Philadelphia on an early train,
Mrs. Heller intended to take the chill
6ren for days visit to the nome Of
her mother, in West Chester.
On leaving the house Sunday morn
ing W tame Tie IIdlIl nTS. I1til6T Says
she wondered why her husband carried
a small satcheL. She did not ask, how
ever, even when he said that he would
not go to West Chester, but intended to
spend the day in Philadelphia.
When the family reached Broad
street station, Philadelphia, Heller
kissed his wife and children good by
and said that he would see them in
this city in the evening. Mrs. Heller
returned to Mt. Holly Sunday evening
leaving her children at West Chester
for sojourn at her mothers.
Mrs. Heller sat up at her home and
worried over her husbands absence
without any inkling of the reason until
a neighbor entered her door and said.
1.-THE bank has been robbed" The
young wife nearly swooned, and her
condition soon became SO alarming that
a physician was called. She has since
been under his care. Mrs. Heller de-
clares that she believes her husband
will return soon and that his innocence
will be speedily established.
Frederick II. Lee, cashier of the
bank, said today:
Heller was bonded by Baltimore
company to the extent of $4,000. Our
loss will, therefore, not exceed $1,000 or
$4,000 We have examined all of our
securities and they are intact. Only
the cash Is missing There is no evil
dence that Heller has been speculat-
ing"
He was implicitly trusted and had
free access at any time to the safe.
Heller is described as being feet
inches tall, with dark hair and eyes.
and of slender build. His face was
smoothly shaven.

The commuters sole hope for relief
with Governor John Franklin Fort.
The State Railroad Commission be-
lieves that 1t has not sufficient au-
thority to handle the commuters
trouble.
The State Railroad Commission has
also shown that it is not awake to the
Importance of immediate action.
If 1t were sessions would be held
daily till the commission hadS gathered
all the testimony that the State re-
quired and some definite action would
be taken.
Instead of handling the plant of more
than 100000 interested persons with dis
patch and vigor a one-day session is
held, the railroads are allowed to make
excuses and then the hearing ad-
journed ten days hence
At this rate of procedure the. people
will be well accustomed to the new
rates before the commission sees its
way clear to make any kind of.a re-
port to the Governor.
Governor Fort now has proof that
public opinion is thoroughly aroused
and is demanding action on the partAof
someone clothed with authority.
The chief executive is apparentlysthe
only official who can point .the sway to
relief for the commuters.
Challenge to Governor.
He has been practically challenged
by the president of the Senate, Joseph
s. Frelinghuysen, to call special<ses-
sion and has been promised the latter,s
support, il a legal way is pointeds out
for relief.
The belief of many is that the.G
ernor's reply to the Freiinghuysen let
ter will be the issuance of a calfto the
members of the Legislature ito recon-
vene in special session.
Still others declare that the Gov
ernor has already begun toSprepare a
special message covering the COM
muters' troubles. and pointing out the
relief method, thereby relieving him
self of further criticism and putting
the responsibility squarely up to the
legislators.
Failure of the Legislature to then
do It's duty will mean ruin to those
who interfere In behalf of the railroads.
The Republican leaders fully realize
the Importance of the commuter vote
in the approaching contest.
The railroad commission early in its
open session yesterday referred all COM
mutation rates between New York city
and New Jersey points to the Interstate

OFFER SIOO FOR TICKETS
WOman's Club Members Also
Greatly Exercised Over Ac-
tiOn OF Sisters.

been in long time by a unique race
prejudice proposition which has been
brought about by the exclusive girls
of the senior graduating class of the
High School declaring that they will
pot attend a dance in the Woman's
Club because two of the negro girl
pupils say they will bring with them
their dusky male escorts.
In an effort to solve the vexed matter
one of the bright boy pupils went to
one of the negro girls Miss Wander
wall, and offered her Sc for the ticket
she holds for the dance. The girl In
dignantly refused the offer
1t is said that since that time several
brokers. who are fathers of the white
girls in the class, have offered as high
as 500 each for the tickets which the
negro girls possess. Today the negro
girls are adamant and say they will
attend the dance at all hazards. It
now looks as II the dance may be called
off.
Not only has opposition arisen among
the fashionable. girls who compose the
class, but it is said that the members
of the Woman's Club are greatly
wrought UP over the prospect of having
negresses and their escorts at the dance.

IN A HOMEMADE TOURING CAR
A Maine Family is Enjoying an Inex.

In home made bicycle touring car
the Thurston family OF Biddeford. are
touring southwark On their way to
Tampa, LA, and they have reached
Worcester, Mass, after being on the
road few days. The Thurston out
tit attracts more attention than the
comet wherever it goes, and crowds
follow it, hut the Thurstons don't care.
Their machine consists of two tan
dem bicycles connected by steel rods.
On the rods are placed a board plat
form, about three feet wide by five
feet long. Papa and Mamma Thurs
ton daughter Minnine, who is seven
teen, and cousin Peter Thurston fur

tons-Harry, aged twelve; Florence.

on the platform, together with a good
ly quantity of Suitcases and other lug
gage. John Thurston explained to an
interested group that they were on a
pleasure trip. He said they were on
their way TO Florida, and didn't know
or care much how long it took to get
there. I'VE put up at hotels or
houses along the route and we are
prepared to camp out when neces-
sary,' he continued. we are eniov-
ing ourselves immensely and are in
no hurry to end our trip. The chill
dren are strong and healthy, and the
out of door life is hardening them.
We are now travelling more than thirty
miles a day, but the children and the
luggage make quite a load. and there
is no motive power except what we
supply with feet and legs" Min

Fruit i Cure fer insomnia.

from insomnia has made a discover,
which she has never seen in any chap
ter of advice on the subject. She
often wakes in the middle OF the night
with a nervous craving which is moi

to satisfy with food. Now she eat:
an apple or drinks the juice of one
or two oranges. The acid in these
fruits seems to go to the spot" as
nothing else does, besides which they
have the advantage that they can be
placed by the bedside on retiring,
where they can be obtained later with.

not the kind so common in New York
markets-which suggest boiled pota,
tos. Thy must be rather tart and firm.
