MAN FACES DEATH
CAUGHT BETWEEN
FLOOR AND LIFT
Trapped by Elevator, Store EN-
plOyee Saves Life by His
Quick Wit.

WedBed between an elevator and the
second floor Joseph Black looked a
terrible death in the face for full
five minutes today in the clothing store
at 7s1 Broad street. His life was liter
ally saved by hole In a drysoods box.
Black, who is 26 and lives at 241
Hunterdon street. is employed in the
store to carry about the filled and
empty cases of woolens and clothes.
This morning he placed a big empty
case in the freight elevator as 1t stood
at the first floor and was preparing
to load on another when, without any
warning, the lift began to ascend.
Tries to Stop Elevator.
Black leaped aboard, hoping to stop
1t, but the box so crowded the case that
he hung half out of the elevator, which
was slowly nearing the floor above.
That he would be crushed to death be-
tween the box in the elevator and the
floor seemed inevitable and fellow work
men who saw his fearful plight cried
out horror-stricken.
The lift ascended and the box hang
ing over the side with the man clinging
to it struck the flooring. 1t was a
heavy box and it stopped the elevator
and Just as the two came together
Black saw a gap in the side of the box
where two boards had been torn off
and he crouched his body into this
aperture.
1t saved his life, but he hung there
while the elevator with all power on
tugged upward against the wedged box
Luckily the stout wood of the case
held; the other workmen hauled the
lift to the first floor again and Black
was taken from it. His shoulders were
found to be slightly bruised and one
arm was cut where he wrenched 1t
away from contact with the crunching
elevator But at the City Hospital they
said he had marvelously escaped any
other injury and he will be all right
again in a couple of days.

CAMDEN PROSECUTOR
AFTER THOSE "HIGHER UP"
Hopes Smaller Fry Will Peach
on Big Ones.

CAMDEN, Jan. 2s.-There are un-
confirmed rumors In Camden today
that Prosecutor Scovel is busy on sew
eral new lines of election crookedness,
tending to reach men higher up" and
that the grand jury would be recon
vened at an early day.
1t was said the prosecutors greatest
hope to get evidence against the party
leaders was found in the fact that
some of the ward politicians caught in
the grand jury net would peach on
the men who gave them orders.
With Jail doors opening in their faces
Mr.. Scovel believes that some of these
smaller fellows will give him informa-
tion which he would not be liable TO
secure otherwise.

Bill of Particulars Against Wife
Is to Be Filed
Later.
RETAINS PROSECUTOR
AS HIS ATTORNEY
Rejects Woman's Advances for
Reconciliation Following Mis-
trial in Her Case.

WHEELING, w. Va, jan 2S.-John
o. Schenk, who was allegedly poisoned
by his wife, Mrs. Laura Schehk this
morning filed suit for divorce through
his attorneys, Prosecutor Handler and
his law partner, Ross Haymann
Grounds will be given In a bill Of par
ticulars to be filed latter.
The rich packers decision to bar his
wife from his life in future comes as O
staggering blow to Mrs. Schenk, who
had announced that she would try to
bring about a reconciliation. Further
more. Schenk declared that he would
resist every effort to take his two little
children from him.
Sohenk, after many requests. finally
agreed to receive the newspaper COR
respondents in his sisters home and
to say how he felt about the whole
affair
schenk Disappointed.
IT am disappointed in the verdict"
he said, first of all. II feel absolutely
certain that Mrs. Schenk tried her best
to make away with my life by giving
me arsenic In my drinking water and
sugar of lead in my medicines. be-
iieve that Prosecutor Handlan, for the
State, proved this beyond doubt. But
Mrs. Schenk's lawyers appealed to the
sympathies of the jurors with their
tears and their word pictures, and
managed to save her from a verdict of
guilty and term in jail I will never
take Laura Schenk back again. Never!''
Matter of Bail.
When court convened today Prose-
cutor Handlan stated that he had read
in the newspapers that Isaac Heyman,
the juror who had voted against the
acquittal of Mrs. Schenk, had been
boycotted by the tradespeople of
Wheeling and hissed by his neighbors.
He asked the court to use his power
of contempt and scored the jury for
giving out Heyman's name as the dis
senting juror. Judge Jordan wanted
specific cases, and stated that when
the grand jury met the first Monday
in March the matter would be brought
to its attention.
Counsel for Mrs Schenk asked that
her bail be reduced from $4,000 be-
cause she was unable to obtain that
amount and because the facts brought
out at the trial, when the prosecution
failed to make out a case against her,
warranted it. Prosecutor Handlan
said the case had been made out, and
asked that bail be increased, hut for
purposes of his own he wanted 1t to
go over until next Saturday.

come a battle royal between many
powerful organizations, many exciting
and interesting incidents develop. 1t is
now evident that during the next four
weeks the people of Newark will wit
ness the greatest upheaval in the way
of q contest that has ever taken place
in the city. Similar contests In other
cities the size of Newark have taken
such velocity that the interest has
been much greater than he's ever oc-
Cured in a political struggle, and the
same experience will be repeated here
Enthusiasm will spread until 1t has
enlisted the efforts of every member OF
each organization. and after that has
been done large number of friends
and helpers will take hand In the
excitement. OF course. only one organ

win Free Library. but the Steger

Newark Motor and Yacht Club and

which is explained fully in the rules
of the contest; but the prediction lie
made that every organization active
now will have enough out of It to well
repay them. An interesting feature of
the campaign is found In the enormous
number of wrappers and trademarks
taken from the goods and articles of
merchandise which have been turned
in at the office of the contest manager
in exchange for votes. The facts are
almost unbelievable, but many OF the
contest workers who brought them In
by the thousands will not be surprised.
It is interesting also to note that many
people living in remote States are suf-
flciently interested to collect labels and
trademarks that are advertised in our

and sent them In by mail for some

ST. MARY'S CHURCH.
Tomorrow Will Be The Feast OF The
Assumption.

Tomorrow will be the Feast of the
Assumption Of Our Lady. All Catho-
lie churches celebrate this feast as
one Of the star feasts of the Blessed
Virgin Mary. There are only two
feasts of Our Lady that are kept as
holy days of obligation. This is one
of them. The other is the Feast of
the Immaculate Conception. celebrat-
ed on the eighth of December.
There will be three masses at St.
Mary's tomorrow, at 6 O'Clock, 8
o'clock, $50 o'clock. The 8 O'Clock
mass will be a High Mass. 1t is the
firm belief of the Catholic church that
the Mother of Christ was assumed
soul and body to Heaven. Tradition
has always asserted this fact from
the earliest days, and it is not mere
ly legendary. Although the church
has not made this an article of faith,
it is understood to be so, and no
Catholic ever doubts the fact.
1t is on this day that all Catholics
are hidden to look up to Heaven and
to contemplate Our Lady, the model
of pure womanhood taking her place
there as the queen of all saints-for
the simple reason that Christ chose
her to be His mother. His choice
has determined the place she has ever
taken in the affections of every erue
Christian.
