Burglar.

Kansas City. Mo-, June 3.-Frank
Shoemaker, wanted at Eureka, Green
wood county, Kansas, on a charge of
burglary and grand larceny, left Kan
sas City at 5 o'clock last evening on
an enforced 194-mile "joy" ride. He
rode in an auto but wore handouts,
while Deputy Sheriff E. N. Ladd sat
beside him. C. c. Lake, of the Lake
Motor Car company, drove the car and
when he started he said that he would
land officer and prisoner in Eureka in
about seven hours.
Deputy Ladd came to Kansas City
a couple of days ago to buy an auto
mobile. Almost the first person he
met was Shoemaker, whom he arrested
and locked up at police headquarters.
Last evening when Shoemaker was
taken from the Jail and told that he
was going to get a 194-mile automo-
bile ride he was pleased. He said he
never had enjoyed a good auto ride

An Experts Opinion of Skin
Diseases

A prominent, national expert on skin
diseases whose name you are familiar
with says that in all his scientific ex-
perience, he has never found so hard
q disease to conquer as Eczema. Yet
he does not hesitate to recommend
ZEMO as most successful remedy for
the treatment OF Eczema, itching skin
diseases, dandruff, pinTples, blackheads
and all other diseases of the skin and
scalp. He says that not only do its
curative qualities make it popular but
also the fact that it is a clean, liquid
remedy for external use. A great i'm
provement over the old style greasy
salves and lotions which are not only
unpleasant to use but do not destroy
the germ life that causes the disease.
ZEMO draws che germs to the surface
and destroys them, leaving the skin
clear and healthy. Can be used freely on
infants Rosser Drug Co., 523 Kansas
avenue, will gladly supply those who
call with a free sample bottle of ZEMO
and booklet which explains in simple
language all about skin diseases and
how to cure yourself at home with
ZEMO.

ovens make Weston bread perfect.
Weston bread is a big 26-ounce
loaf; fine textured and light; yet
moist and creamy, with a flavor
like nuts. 1t stays fresh a whole
day longer than ordinary bread,
because the nature of the loaf re-
tains its goodness and because each
loaf is wrapped in wax paper.
Maybe you're one of few Topeka
women who bake at home for rea-
sons of quality or economy. If you
are. you haven't yet tried Weston
bread. Make the test today and
you'll say goodbye to bake day.

HOME BAKING Is NOT ECON
Only AND THE RESULTS ARE
FAR FROM SATISFACTORY.

The practice of baking bread at
home is relic of the past. Many
women do it simply because they
are victims of the custom-because
it used to be considered one of
the necessary duties of the house
wife. When the cost of all the
materials, purchased in small lots,
the fuel, waste and bad patches
are all counted. you will find by
actual test that you are simply
wasting time to bake at home.
Weston bread is always the same
always uniform-always good.
The best materials are purchased
in big lots-the bread is baked in
big quantities. Every ounce is
measured, where you go by pinches,
cupfulls and chance. Perfect
methods, perfect skill and perfect

OWNERS WELL PLEASED
Changes Made After Recent
Accident Seem to Have
Been About Right.
SOON TRY OVER WATER
If Satisfactory Flights Keep
ON Aviator will Make Trip
Over Raritan Bay.

After a number Of unsuccessful
attempts at flying during the past
several weeks. the O'Rourke aero
plane made Its first real flight at Sea
Breeze yesterday. With Aviator
Mason at the wheel, the aeroplane
arose to a height Of twenty-five feet
and went skimming over the mead
ows at that place for a distance of
over 400 feet on several occasions.
Mason, who has been in charge of
the machine since 1t was brought to
Sea Breeze, is confident now that IL
can do just what the builders said
1t could.
After the propeller was broken and
other parts of the machine were
damaged in an attempted flight last
Saturday, some changes were made
that 1t is thought were of great ad-
vantage, to 1t. Some of the parts
have been strengthened and, with
the new propeller that replaced the
one broken, the machine acted In q
fine manner.
Another trial was to have taken
place today but the weather condi-
tions being such 1t will probably be
put off until tomorrow.
AS soon as the aeroplane can be
made to rise to height of 100 feet
Or more, it Is said that some flights
will be attempted over the Raritan
bay, or the lower end of Staten ISL
and.
With George F. Russell, a well
known aviator, who has been en-
gagged by the management of the
Richmond County Agricultural So
ciety, to make daily flights at the
fair of that society at Dongan Hills,
next week, the people in this vicinity
ought to see some real flying. Mr..
Russell promises to encircle the ISL
and on each day, probably coming
down this way so that he can be seen
from this city and the lower end of
the island.

CONTRACT FOR
BIG CHIMNEY
Alphons Custodis Chimney
Company Gets Runyon
lob for $2,260.
WAS LOWEST BIDDER

On bid of $4,000 the Alphons
Custodis Chimney Company was last
night awarded by the Board Of
Water Commissioners the contract
for constructing a 125-foot radial
brick chimney at Runyou, to be used
in connection with two recently In
stalled boilers and proposed
100000 gallon pump The con-
tract was awarded following opening
of the bids Monday night, and the
subsequent investigation Tuesday by
Engineer Mason and Commissioner
Grieve concerning the capabilities of
the Custodis stacks.
The Custodis bid was $440 less
than any other of the four bidders.
So great was the difference that a
representative Of the M. w. Kellogg
Company, which bid $2,985, was
present at the meeting last night
and informed the commissioners
that the Custodis company had eth
or made a mistake in price or else
did not intend to carry out the spec
ifications.
The representative, Mr. Austin,
told the board that several stacks
erected by Alphons Custodis were
/ at present being repaired or taken
down by the Kellogg company. He
said the former company made their
estimate low, intending to secure
the fob rather than to comply with
the specifications. For thTee-quar-
ters of an hour Mr.. Austin argued,
extolling the Kellogg company's g
product and pointing out>wherein
their materials and engineering were
far superior to those of their COM
petitors.
Austin exhibited sample of the
brick used by the Kellogg company
In building their stacks, explaining
to the board the necessity of CORFU
gated sides, such as his brick bore,
the percentage of silica and alumina
and other mineral properties con-
tained in the clay, and the methods
employed in manufacturing 1t. SO
convincing were his arguments that
the board, although they had preyi-
ously agreed to award the contract
to the Custodis company, took a re-
cess to consider the matter.
An argument lasting fifteen min
utes ended when the commissioners
returned and adopted resolution
awarding the contract to the AL
phons Custodis Company. Commits
sioner Grieve and Engineer Mason
submitted a report of their investi-
cations concerning the Custodis
stacks, stating that they found them
to be as claimed
AS soon as material can be ship
ped to Runyon the erection of the
stack will be commenced. All the
commissioners, with the exception
OF G. D. Snedeker, were present last
night.

New York, Sept. Magistrate
House, in the Second District Court
today, sent seventy-one men and
thirteen women to Jail for three
days, in lieu of fines, as the result
OF the efforts Of the striking cloak
makers to march up Fifth avenue
early today. Many of the destitute
strikers broke down and cried when
sentence was pronounced, but the
court refused to heed the plea for
leniency made by their counsel.
None, however, sought to escape the
punishment, the sentiment being
that 1t was for the good of the
court" Many Of the strikers were
weak from hunger and 1t was ex-
planned that they had nothing to
eat since yesterday noon. The pris-
oners were kept in small rooms be-
fore the opening of court, and sew

phere. They were kept in these
rooms for six hours.
Several of the prisoners tried to
make statements to the court, but
were silenced with the statement
that only heir counsel would be
heard. They said they would have
made charges against the police for
brutality had the magistrate permit
ted them to speak. They said they
were kicked and cuffed and exhibited

PREPARATIONS FOR THE
NEW PUMP INVENTION

Judson d. Campbell, who applied
to the Board of Water Commission
ers Monday night for permission to
occupy the old water works at
Eagleswood to conduct experiments
on his recently patented pump, has
been granted his request. Within a
few weeks Campbell will move his
apparatus here and begin the erec-
tion OF pump driven by electricity
and operating on a siphon princi-
pie.
Campbell, the inventor of the
pump, is New York lawyer with Of
fees at 68 William street. He is a
brother of John Campbell, of this
city, former chief of the fire depart
ment, and until a year ago employed
in the water department here. In
experimenting with the machine,
Campbell has expended fortune Of
$40, but believes he has finally
succeeded in perfecting it.
Campbell was In this city Tuesday
and conferred with City Attorney
Hommann and Edwin G. Fraser,
president of the water board. The
city attorney knew of no reasons
why Campbell should be restrained
from the use Of the ground. A
lease. allowing the inventor the priv
ileges Of the ground for years
time, will be drawn up in few
days. He has agreed to pay nom
inal sum for the privileges.
Carpenters and machinists will be
engaged to construct a trestle across
the water works pond. On this struc-
ture, Campbell will erect and test
his pump. Motive power will be
supplied by Public Service electric
current, instead of steam. On shore,
workshop will be built.
When the pump becomes operative
Campbell will call here number of
New York capitalists to view the ap-
paratus. He has already secured
their promise, should the pump meet
their expectations, that capital viii
be furnished for the erection here of
a plant employing over zoo men.
Campbell does not believe that the
entire year will be consumed in the
erection of his pump, but lest cold
weather should overtake him, he has
leased the place for that length of
time.

GARAGE PEOPLE HAVE
WILD CHASE IN RAIN

The police and officials of the New
York Telephone Company are look
ing for q man who, about 2 o'clock
this morning, telephoned to the
Perth Amboy Garage Company and
sent a five-passenger touring car
speeding through the pouring rain to
Morgan on wild goose chase. The
telephone officials know from where
the call was sent, and an arrest will
probably follow this afternoon or to-
night:
The person who called up the
garage explained over the phone
that it was absolutely necessary for
a party to be conveyed from William
Hartmanns hotel to Newark before
daybreak. Whether or not it was
Hartmann's hotel in this city or the
Old Spye Inn at Morgan, owned by
the same man, was not specified.
Taking for granted that the local
hostelry, which still bears the name
of its former owner, was meant, a
five-passenger car was hastily de-
spatched there, but inquiries failed
to locate the intended passenger.
The chauffeur was about to return to
the garage when remembering the
urgent request over the telephone,
he continued on his way, speeding on
through the pouring rain to Morgan.
There he met with the same re
suit. No one had telephoned from
there for a car nor had they heard
Of anyone desiring to be transported
to Newark. Back through the rain
and mud the car was driven, and
when Max Gibian, one of the direc-
tors of the garage company, was told
Of the FOOLS errand, he notified the

ABANDON LABOR DAY
FOR COLUMBUS DAY

Contrary to usual custom, there
will be no labor parade here on
Labor Day this year. Instead, 1t is
planned to defer festivities until
October IL, Columbus Day, and COM
bine both fetes into a monster cele-
bration similar to that of July A.
Labor leaders give as their reason
for deferring the celebration the
short time between now and Monday.
No plans have been advanced yet and
it was decided to postpone the usual
parade and festivities.
Mayor Bollschweiler, who two
weeks ago favored Labor Day cele-
bration, has abandoned the idea in
favor of festivities on Columbus Day.
Labor leaders expect to work in con-
junction with the mayor and Board
of Aldermen for celebration with a
parade, band concerts, speeehmaking
and fireworks.
From present indications there
will be little excitement here on
Labor Day. Labor men have offered
as a reason for not participating in
their usual celebration their desire
to spend Saturday Afternoon and
Sunday out of town, remaining away
over Labor Day.

PROBLEM OF

with the opening of school hut
hye days off, the problem of where
and how to accommodate the 200 or
more pupils entering this year is
still confronting superintendent of
Schools 8. e. Shull. The problem
has grown even more complex since
1t was learned that Our Savior's DAN
1sh Lutheran parochial school will
not be conducted this year, making
1t necessary to provide seats in
schools l and for about forty more
pupils.
Notwithstanding the fact that ad-
ditional rooms have been fitted up
In the grammar and high schools
and schools Nos. 4, 6 and 8, there
will still be about 200 pupils unac-
commodated. What the exact num-
Der will be, Superintendent Shull
will not know until Tuesday morn
ing.

should have been taken in this city
during the summer This Is the only
city he knows of, he says, where an

to make provision for a known num-
Der of scholars. Several years ago,
when a revision of the state law
made a school census enumeration
optional, the annual house-to-house
canvass was discontinued.
Until provision can be made for
the extra scholars. they will be
placed on half time" attending
school for only one session each day.
The most crowded schools, according
to the superintendent, are the gram
mar and high school and school No.

have been employed, as well as sew

At the high school, pupils will be
compelled to sit two at desk in the

DIRECTLY ACROSS SOUND
NEW FERRY REPORTED

The New York Tribune this morn
ing is responsible for a story to the
effect, that 1.-The Public Service Cor
poration of New Jersey took title
yesterday to five acres of land at
Tottenville, part of the Edward
Acker estate, and has practically
closed negotiations for an adjoining
ten-acre tract. The officials stated
at the same time that the sale of the
property was announced that they
would build two ferry houses on the
tract at Tottenyille and that they
would establish ferry service be-
tween that point and Perth Amboy.
''The corporation also stated that
on 2,000-foot tract of land at Perth
Amboy which has been purchased as
a terminus for their ferry service an
electric light power house, to cost
81 100000, will be erected, to manu-
facture electric light and power for
points in Staten Island and Perth
Amboy."
Contractors for the Public Service
Corporation are at present rushing
work on a big dock on its newly ac-
quired property at the foot of Buck
ingham avenue. Repeated attempts
learn about this improvement. but
the Public Service publicity depart
ment has steadfastly withheld def
mite information concerning it,
With the reported purchase of the
Acker property in Tottenville comes
news of other developments in tran
sit lines that would indicate a new
line between this city, Staten Island
and New York is under contempla-
ton. The Public, Service has not
volunteered any information about
the matter, but the fact that dredg-
er is at work at the foot of Buck
ingham avenue seems to bear out the
report that this will be the Perth
Amboy landing place for new Pub
lie Service ferry. Furthermore, the
Public Service owns this property
They claim it was purchased mainly
for the erection of q large power
house and that the coal to it will be
shipped over the lines of the Lehigh
Valley railroad.
The ferry idea seems feasible
enough as cars could be run down
Buckingham avenue from State
street out on the new dock, now be-
ing built, where passengers could
take boat to Tottenville. The fact
that the Acker property, which the
Public Service is said to have pur-
chased, is directly opposite its site
on this side is significant. A boat
could be run straight across, making
the trip a very short one. Perhaps
the car itself might be conveyed
