UNABLE TO GET WORK.
HIS FAMILY IN WANT
Reasons Said to Have Been
Given for Thefts by Charles
J. Owen.

That he was out of employment and I'M
able to provide the necessaries of life for
his wife and children was the excuse
given last night by Charles ]. Owen. a
former messenger in the employ of the
Adams Express Company, when arrested
by Detectives Springman and O'Brien and
charged with numerous thefts
The prisoner gave his address as 1905 r
street northeast. He has been on
friendly terms with Detective Springrnan
for some time and the latter was shocked
to know. suspicion pointed to Owen as
the man who committed the thefts.
The arrest, the police say. explains fiji
teen or more daylight robberies that have
been committed since September !.
Numerous Complaints Flied.
Complaint after complaint had been re-
ceived by the police of the thefts COM
mitted by man wearing a light suit
and light hat. and yesterday afternoon
the detectives found and arrested man
who answered the several descriptions.
Three gold watches taken from the house
of Joseph W. Tyler, 3O2 9th street north
east, yesterday, were found in his posses
sion. When he was accused of other
thefts, it is said, Vie made no effort to
deny them. =
The many thefts reported to the police
during the past two months had been
committed during the temporary absence
of the householders from their homes.
Articles of jewelry and cash were taken.
and most of the houses were entered by
means of duplicate keys.
Some of the Losers.
Among the houses robbed were those
of Mrs. Lizzie Taffe, 40 Rhode Island
avenue northwest; L. T. Schofeld. 1119
l street northeast: Mrs. Mabel Tyree, 115
Rhode Island avenue northwest; II. X.
Sellers. 1919 3 street northeast; Mrs.
SalHe Simpson, 1873 Tennessee avenue
northeast; f. f.. Nelson, rs street
northeast; s. M Leitzel. 100 r street
northeast; Mrs. NJ. E. Morris, 72S 9Th
street northeast; A. $. French. 40 La
mont street northwest; H. G.. Bradley,
;553S 18th street northwest; Mrs. Joseph
inc Snooks - Q street northwest
Owen admits, IT is said, that he entered
other houses. 1t is believed by the po-
lice that he stole altogether more than
81 900 worth of jewelry, although the
plumber netted him a much smaller sum.

HOBOKEN WOMAN
TEACHER FACES
MANY CHARGES
Miss Haddenhorst Accused by
Principal MacNary of Dis
obedience and Inattention.

HOBOkEN, Feb. 26.-Miss E. 4.
Iiaddenhorst, a teacher in h clay de-
partment of the Industrial School, in
this city, will have to answer charges
made to the Board of Education in
writing by Principal MacNary. Mayor
Gonzales, when he learned the charges
had been made, insisted upon an inn
mediate hearing.
Principal MacNary's charges against
the teacher, in brief, are as follows:
when I took charge of the school,
September l, 1908, 1 noted the anti
quated form of work Miss Hadden-
horst was teaching, n gave her a
new course of study. She was not
familiar with the type of work given
her and 1 spent considerable time di-
recting her at her work and attending
to first few frings personally. The
~janitor was instructed to start the kiln
in the morning and to keep oil run
ming steadsly until 3 p. M, when Miss
Haddenhorst took charge. until it was
finished.
"As soon as arrangements were made
for the %janitor to start and watch the
kiln, Miss H~addenhorst quietly inter-
fered. Some time in November, 1908, /
A0eaha TAG po12 WIN SAAt ~ 1AS4A0A'
intervals from the top floor to the
basement to turn on or off the oil,
while the ~janitor was watching 1t. This
practise was forbidden. but was con.
tinued. Each time question was raised
about 1t Miss Haddenhorst objected to
the janitor having anything to do with
the kiln, and insisted on having a day
set aside for her to do the entire firing.
Three different complaints were sent
to me from the superintendent office
for infringement of rules by Miss Had
denhorst. These were preferred by the
principal of No. 9 school, first, on jan
uary 5, 1909, for keeping boys late at
noon hour; second, for sending an or
der to a teacher in No. Q school to
send her certain boys. and, third, about
a week later, for writing a request to
q teacher. The offense consisted of not
transmitting such messages through
the principals. i did not know of the
occurrences until the complaints came.
Boys have been sent out on errands
by Miss H~addenhorst without asking
my consent. On occasion, I believe
in March, 1903, q boy was sent to the
Isuperintendent's Office to inquire If
there was to be a half-session. The
~janitor has beer given orders for re.
pairs or changes in her room without
consulting the principal"

AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGES ASK
FOR MORE MONEY.
Associations Executive Conmit-
tee Working for Increased
Appropriation.
Especial to the Newark start

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-It will be of
interest to Rutgers College at New Bruins
wick, as wei as to the friends and sup
porters o. that institution, to learn that
members of the executive committee of
the Association of Agricultural Colleges,
are working energetically in favor of an
increased appropriation for the agri-
cultural colleges, similar to Rutgers.
This committee has had its members
appear before the Senate and Hous
committees in behalf OF the bill which
provides for the payment of an amount
by the Federal government equal to
hat paid by each State to its own in
%stitution. 1t is not known as yet what
action the committees will take, but the
college people are hopeful that the in
crease will be granted.
In line with this movement there is
another in favor of an appropriation
for the establishment of q bureau of
mines In State colleges, and this has had
the support of citizens n institutions
of learning in all parts of the country.
Throughout New Jersey the manufac-
turers of brick, filing and other fire.
proof material are interested In this
measure, and all are united in thei
support of the bill.
Representative Howell has been adj
vised that the postoffice department has
made arrangements for the extension
of rural route No. 1 from Lakewood, to
cover the territory lying northeast of
Greenville. and also for the extension
of-route No. Q, by permitting a loop to
Wallace Corner and Keller Corner. IL
is expected that abou. twenty-five fam
lilies will be benefited by these extern
sions. It is more han two years ago
since Mr.. Howell took up these matters
with the p~ostoffice department, and has
finally had the extensions sanctioned.
William K. Fem, supervisor Of the
census at Asbury Park, has notified
Congressman Howell that some of the
applicants in Monmouth and Ocean
counties for appointment as enumera-
tors of the census had failed to pass the
examination required, and 1t would be
necessary to appoint other men for the
places.
Representative Hughes has received a
petition from citizens Of Newark pro-
testing against the establishment of
postal savings banks. He has also re-
ceived a petition from Linnehahn Coun-
Gil No. ia and Hamilton Council No. 10.
Loyal Association. in favor of the grant,
ing of sceond-cla postal rates to the
publications of fraternal societies.
Mr.. Howell has been advised that the
bills to increase the pension of william
II. Salmon. of Perth Amboy, to $24 a
month, and Henry Dillon, OF Perth
Amboy. at $24 a month, have both been
signed by the President.
Mr.. Howell has been advised that a
pension has been granted to George
Pratt. of New Brunswick. at s12 a
month.

BENNY KNOWS GOOD PAPER;
PREFERS STAR TO OTHERS.
Remarkable intelligence Shown
by Cocker Spaniel.

Benny, an unusually intelligent and
w~ell-trained cocker spaniel, owned by
George Synder, of 10 Rutgers street,
certainly knows a good thing when he
sees it.
Come, Benny" Mr.. Snyder will say,
Il want to read the latest news; go and
get me a good paper"
Benny will Immediately trot off the
length of the house into another room,
n from among a number of news
papers will select the EVENING STAR
and return with it to his master.
He will do that every time said
Mr.. Snyder. You certainly can't fool
him on newspapers"
This, however, is only one of a num-
Der OF clever stunts that Benny does,
He is better than some servants around
the house. and saves Mrs. Snyder many
steps In the course of the day. Simple
things like going up or down stairs for
small articles within his reach, or do
ing errands in the neighborhood. such
as carrying notes to tradespeople, are
part of Benny's daily duties, and 1t Is
only necessary to tell him once what
is wanted. OF course there are. as Mr..
Snyder says, certain tricks that any
dog can be taught, but Benny acts as
il gifted with human intelligence and
will frequently correctly carry out in
structions that nave never been given
to him before.
Benny is 3 years old. and a fine speci
men of his breed. His head and face
denote the highest type Of canine in
telligence. n he is as good-natured
ard responsive as be is smart. Just
now he is the father of five promising
puppies that give every indication OF
inheriting their sire's cleverness. Ben
ny's mate, Lydie. is also a very intel
ligent animal, and can do a lot of
tricks herself. but Benny is in a class
by himself and gives promise of even
greater accomplishments.
Mr.. Snyder has frequently been
visited by show people who have heard
of the dogs cleverness and who have
offered to buy him, but Benny is not for
sale.

jets and opening the windows, he
called to DR.. Henry w. Rose, 644 Hal
sey street, but Miss Hale was beyond
help and died a few minutes after he
