TEN, TURNS
Thief TO BECOME
PH|LANTHROP|ST
LOots Fathers Safe to Raise
Money for Chum's Tuition
in Drama.

HOBOKEN, Sept. Henry Bier is 10
years old, and has queerly mixed
notions as to where philanthropy begins
and honesty ends. To become a phil
anthropist and enable his chum, young
Abrahams, to matriculate at a dra-
matte school, Henry, or "Heinie," as
his friends call him, became a robber.
Recorder John j. McGovern, of Ho-
boken, listened yesterday to a tale that
Captain Kidd or any of he other pi-
rates of note, Jesse James and Perry,
the train robber, would have hard work
equaling. 'Heinie" Bier, 10 years old,
of 114 Grand street, Hoboken, is in the
habit of tending his fathers bakery
shop from 5 in the evening until 2 the
following morning, At 2 o'clock his
father gets up to turn the bakery
wagons out and give the drivers their
instructions for the day. When he did
this Tuesday morning he noticed the
outer door of the safe open.
Bier looked into the inner compart-
ment found that the bag contain
ing $500 Lincoln pennies had disap-
peared, together with ST. in bills. Bier
got busy quickly. He went to police
headquarters and reported the robbery.
Detective-Sergeant Borrone soon found
that Henry Bier, the son of the baker,
and young Abrahams were responsible
for the job and had them summoned
to Recorder McGovern's court.
When arraigned before the recorder
today young Bier made a full confess
sion. He stated that he had gone to
his fathers bedroom on the morning
in question, rifled his pockets of the
key to the inner compartment. gone
downstairs and tried to open the safe,
failed to do SO and then had Abb
rahams get busy and turn the lock.
While in court sAbrahams leaned for
ward and said to young Bier: you'll
get yours when I get you out"
Recorder McGovern happened to
have his head turned. but neverthe-
less heard the remark.
: Take him back, officer" he said to
Borrone, and later he ordered the Bier
boy remanded. He afterward held
both boys for the action of the Grand
Jury. Young Abrahams and Bier
have been accused of stealing before
Abrahams is a graduate of the truant
school, and Bier was to have been a
pupil in that same school as soon as 1t
opens in September.

GRANTS Ne v TRIAL
BECAUSE JUDGE
ERRED IN CHARGE
Chief Justice Gummere Also
Says Stock Purchase Deal
Was Not Completed.

TRENTON, Sept. 2.-On the ground
that the trial judge refused to make
certain charges to the jury; that it
was not shown hat the full amount of
the purchase price a been paid for
stocks, and because it was not shown
that there was Intentional false repre-
sensations made by Thomas p. Nc
Kenna, a lawyer, with offices in New
York and Long Branch, the Supreme
Court today granted a new trial in the
suit brought by Joseph A. Duffy, of
haywood, in which the latter recovered
a verdict against Mckenna for $40, 400.
Mr.. Duffy charged that through rep
reservations made by McKenna he was
induced to buy twenty allotments of
the stock of the North American Lum-
Der and Pulp Company. The purchase
price was to be $4,000 and Mr.. Duffy
paid on account $4,000, which he claims
he altogether lost. According to Mr..
Duffy, McKenna told him that to his
certain knowledge the company owned
255, 900 acres of lane upon which were
three pulp mills, bringing in $4,000 a
year over and above all expenses. He
charged that in fact the company
owned no property n had no evenue.
A second count in the petition charged
that Mr.. Duffy was induced to buy
from Offenbach & Moore 200 shares of
the capital stock of the same company
for $4,000, and that he paid thereon
$4,000, which he also lost. In making
this purchase he said he had been told
by Mr.. McKenna that the stock was
worth $35 per share.
Justice Gumnerc,s Opinion.
In ordering a new trial Chief Justice
Gummere said:
THE verdict in this case must be set
aside and a new trial ordered. AS
Stunning that the statements which the
plaintiff testifies were made to him by
the defendant were actually made, and
were the inducing cause of the plain
tiff's purchases, it may well be doubted
from the proofs whether they were in
tentionally false. A determination of
this matter, however, is not necessary
for the disposition of the case.
THE plaintiffs proofs disclosed the
following situation with relation to the
second of these purchases:
1.-THE money paid by him was a little
less tina one-half of.the total price. 1t
is clear hat he Was not entitled to
receiver the 200 shares of stock from
his brokers until he had paid to
them the remainder of the purchase
price. This his proofs show he has
never done.
For aught that appears to the con-
trary, his brokers nay still be holding
the stock for his account. ready to urn
1t over to him upon his payment of
what remains due to them of the pur-
chase money. There is no evidence in
the case that the stock was not worth
at the time the suit was brought and
when it was tried the full amount at
which the plaintiff purchased 1t. On

this state of the facts the defendant
requested the court to charge that
there could be no recovery of this $500
from the defendant because there was
no proof of its loss or the loss of any
part of it by the plaintiff.
This request the court refused to
charge. and, on the contrary, charged
that if the plaintiff had been induced
to make the purchase of the 200 shares
by reason OF false and fraudulent rep
reservations of the defendant, he WAS
entitled to recover from him the whole
amount of the $4,000 paid on account of
the purchase price. In both the re-
fusal to charge the request n in the
charge itself there was error, and for
this reason the rule to show cause will
be made absolute"

Los Angeles, Cal, July s.-Los An
geles may be properly termed the grand
emporium Of innovation. the latest be-
ing the displacement Of horses in the
nre department by motor trucks. The
superiority Of the latter was demon
strated the other night to the satis-
faction of both the Gre department
and the city fathers and the test has
sounded the knell of the horse rs a
factor in fire fighting in this great and
growing metropolis of the West.
While horses az fine as any seen In
the famous blue grass regions of Ken
tucky and Tennessee are seen here
in large numbers, yet the day has
dawned that will witness their elm
ination from the motive power en-
ployed by this wonderful city.
Los Angeles, with population OF
100000, has issued 5000 auto licenses,
and the motor cycles are as numerous
on the streets as English sparrows
are in the parks Of any southern city.
Add these to street car system Sec
ond to none. with an interurban traf-
fic equal to that of Chicago, Cleveland,
indianapolis and Terre Haute COM
bined, and some idea may be gathered
of the perils of the pedestrian at
street crossings here. Nor is this all
the bewildered pedestrian has to be
on the lookout for, for every form of
auto-delivery vehicles are employed
by stores, foundries, lanndries, and
all the city men and tools, except the
street sweepers. have auto transpor-
tation to and from their work. The
wonder is that one single day can
pass without fatality.
