Montclair, a bankrupt, who on May
% was ordered by Referee Edwin G.
Adams, of the local bankruptcy court,

the order. The attorney, Samuel
Markewich, of New York, gives four
reasons why the order to turn over
should be reversed, declaring it was
because it failed to specify
the property withheld from the trus-
tee; does not show property in ques-
ton to be re ~lsonably valued at $4,000;
does not show that bankrupt is in
possession of property he is required
to urn over. and lastly, that the order
was improperly granted.
Plateau is alleged to ~ e taken s 1000
worth of property from his paint and
wallpaper store the day before he was
thrown into bankruptcy. Several prom
inent paint concerns We're among the
creditors and the fraud aid prosecu-
tion committee of the Newark Asso-

tor Harry V. Osborne and David Bob

the interests of the creditors. The

Referee Adams. Plateau will also have
to face a charge of contempt of court

BURGLARS BREAK
INTO ST. JOSEPH'S
CHURCH, BUT FLEE
Force Three Doors to Reach
Sacristy, Then Run, Leay-
ing Valuables Behind.

Leaving thousands of dollars worth
of valuables behind them, three burg
lars fed from the sacristy of st.
J%oseph's Roman Catholic Church early
yesterday morning, when a sound in
the street frightened them. They had
broken down three doors that barred
them from the sacristy, and were on
the threshold of the sanctuary when
they fled. Nothing was taken, it is
believed, except a biretta valued at $40.
Entrance vas made through the door
in the east end of the basement.
After breaking open the other door
leading into the cellar, as an extra
precaution for escape, they made their
way upstairs by breaking open the
door from the cellar to the saeristy,
and then turned their efforts to the
door leading into the sanctuary from
the north side of the sacristy.

Father Quirk, assistant pastor, today,

tuary or in the sacristy. M l suppose
they thought it was so in this church.
1 do not believe, however, that they
were prepared to blow the safe, for
their tools, according to the marks on
the doors they forced, were of the
poorest. Neither do l think they were
armed, for they left a heavy oak stick.

HOW TO USE.
GAS COKE

Kindle the fire in the usual way, and
when fairly burning fill up with plenty
of Coke. Keep large body Of Coke
under low fire rather than a little
Coke under strong fire. To keep a
low fire close the draft openings in the
lower part of the front of the furanace,
keep the slide in the feed door open and
the damper in the chimney pipe al
most entirely closed. The damper
should be opened only when kindling a
new fire. Keep layer of ashes on the
Crate, and when shaking stop before
Goals appear. This helps TO keep the
Coke burning slower. Do not allow
ashes to pile up under the CRATE so as
To touch it.
To bank fire for the night fill up
full with Coke, and, if necessary, throw
on coke-screenings or ashes to fill up
open spaces.
Thirty per cent cheaper than hard
coal.
Fifty per cent less ash to carry out.
Quick heat in the morning. Lasts
longer than hard coal.
Price $3.50 per ton, delivered.

Democrats on Income Tax.

Democratic newspapers have de-
plored and denounced Democratic
legislature for violating one Of tie
tenets of the Democratic party and
they all hint strongly why the viola
ton was committed The Wheeling
Intelligencer, a Republican news
paper, makes the reason quite plain
in the following editorial:
The income tax proposition is
trembling in the balance. There is
a bare possibility that enough states
may yet endorse 1t TO make the con-
Istitutional amendment effective, but
the possibility is scant. Under these
circumstances 1t must be humiliating
to note that the West Virginia legis-
lature, controlled by Democrats. de-
feated measure that has been a
part OF Democratic policy and of ma
tional Democratic platforms over six-
teen years.
AT the session Just closed. the
failure OF the income tax amend
ment 10 the constitution to receive
endorsement was due almost en-
tirely to the vicious opposition. lead
| by such men as Sam. v. Woods and
William A. MacCorkle. West Vir-
ginia's vote may prove to be the de-
Gliding factor in this great fight for
equal taxation and equal burdens OF
government, aud West virginla's
vote against this great measure was
brought about by handful OF cor
poration Democrats, who proved
false 10 their party and false to their
state. We have had frequent occa-
sion to observe the complete sub
servience OF the Democratic party in
West Virginia to the special inter-
ests.
Tie leadership OF the West V!r-
GINA Democracy is in the hands of
men who are either on the pay roll
of or associated with such corpora
tons as the Falrmont Coal Com
pany, the Standard Oil Company,
the p. & O., Railroad Company and
the G. & Q. Railroad Company.
These men do not take their orders
from the people OF West Virginia.
They take their orders from Wall
street, and they give them faithful
obedience.
