CHURCH ROW Up
AGAIN IN PETITION
TO PREsBYTERY
Seceders of German C0ngrega-
tion Demand Recogni-
tion of Rights.

The old trouble in tne Second Ger
man Presbyterian Church, which was
recently split, came up again for in
vestigation before the Newark Presby-
terry at its semi annual meeting TO-DAY
at the First Presbyterian Church.
Rev. John MacDowell, pastor of the
Park Presbyterian Church. was re-
elected moderator and then a petition
was considered from ninety members
of the Second German Presbyterian
Church protesting against the regula-
tions of the proceedings of the presby-
terry and the congregational meeting
of the Second German Church. at which
the pastor, Rev. f. W. Hook, PHI. D.,
resigned his pastorate.
The petition and pr >test were re-
ceived by the presbytery and COM
mittee of seven, including ministers
and laymen, was appointed to inVesti-
gate the complaint.
Rev. DR.. Pleasant Hunter was ap-
pointed chairman Of this committee,
which will look into the matter and re-
port to the presbytery.
After the vote of the congregation
of the Second German Church was
taken, at which time the pastor was
sustained, large portion on the mem
bers withdrew and organized a new
church. This portion of the member
ship that lodges the present protest
is now seeking to have the entire
church trouble reviewed, with the in
tention Of maintaining it's own inde-
pendence.

ATLANTIC -Y, Oct. 8.-For his
bravery Dan' Bond. aged "a years,
may lose his life Yesterday he at
tackled barehanded and choked to death
a dog suffering with hydrophobia just
as the maddened animal was making
its way toward group of school chill
dren.
The animal was a large mongrel and
before Bond succeeded in killing :. he
was badly bitten on arms and wrists.
When Bond saw the dog rushing toward
the group of children he pursued it and
caught the animal just as it had
reached the little ones. For several
minutes he wrestled with the enraged
brute and finally grasping II by the
neck with a vice-like grip crushed out
its life.
Bond was taken to the observation
ward OF a local hospital. Virus was in
jected in the hope of fighting off hydro
phobia.

SUGAR TRUST IS
ORDER D To SHOW
BOOKS AND PLANTS

Control Likely to Be
Next Week.

That there should be an inspection
of the books of the sugar trust and its
plants, in so far as they relate to the
suit brought by Nathaniel Tooker, OF
rs Evergreen place, East Orange, and
other preferred stockholders of the Ma
tional Sugar Refinery. to compel an
accounting Tor $10,000,000 of the COM
mon stock of the corporation, was de-
cided by Vice-Chancellor Stevens to-
day after hearing argument.
Trial of the suit will probably be
begun next week, and as the STAR
told waen the suit was first brought,
If pushed to q successful conclusion
will wipe the Havemeyers out Of the
list of the countrys wealthy families
and win deprive them of their great
ownership of stock in the trust.
The bill asks that the defendants,
who are James H. Post, of New York,
and the executors and trustees of the
late Henry o. Havemeyer be COM
PEELED to surrender the stock, as it was
obtained by him without consideration.
The complainants also seek to recover
s2,50O,000 paid in dividends.
The bill recites that in May, 1900, the
National Sugar Refining Company
purchased options held by Mr.. Post
upon the stock of the old National
Sugar Refining Company, the New
York Sugar Refining Company and the
Mollenhauer Sugar Refining Company.
The price Of the purchase was $1O,00O,-

the inspection of the books, and the
application was opposed by John r.
Hardin. Albert C. Wall, of Jersey City,

ROME via Frontier Oct. 3-The
commander of an Italian cruiser, which
is cruising in the Aegean Sea, with
instructions to watch for the Turkish
fleet, confirms the suspicion entertained
here that the announcement from Con-
stantlnople that the Turkish warships
had entered the Dardanelles was un-
true and was made with the Intention
of deceiving the Italians.
According to the message received
here from the Italian commander, the
vessels of the Turkish fleet separated
off Samos and the several ships pre-
eeeded in as many directions, the bet
ter to escape the watchfulness of the
Italians.
Rear-Admiral Aubrey, In command
of the Italian fleet at Tripoli, has re-
inforced ne ships watching for Turk
ish vessels between Greece and the
African coast.
According to official reports total of
f.fty-seven Turkish steamers, yachts
and craft of various sizes have been
seized In Italian ports or captured by
tho italian feet at sea. while the
Italian vessels taken by the Turks
number only three.
Wireless messages were received
here today from the Italian feet of
Tripoli.
They state that the city is now prae-
tIcaiIy deserted outside the Turks h
garrison.
The only Italians remaining are the
apostolic delegate AMI few Francis
con monks, who refused to depart.
The natives have retired to the in

camels 5000 old Mauser rifles received
from the TurEiah military authorities

Bigamy Attempt Charged to Man
Giving Alias Who Is Trapped
with Wedding LICENSE by Pastor
William Fisher Asks to
Be Married Second
3 Time.

WWedded to one woman as William
Jones, William Fisher was arrested
with a new license in his pocket per
hitting him to marry another girl.
The discovery of this peculiar situ-
alton. which Fisher has so far been
unable to explain, was due to the dis
eernnnent of Rev. DR.. A, red N. Stub
blebine, of the Bethany Presbyterian
Church, who became suspicious when
Fisher asked him 20 perform the mar
riage ceremony, which the police be-
lieve would have solem7iZed biga-
nous union.
As the result of this Fisher was held
n 81 .000 bail by Judge Herr in the
Fourth Precinct Police Court today,
Fisher lives at 38a North Seventh
street.
Then Plainclothesman Sebold uncov-
cred what the police think was a case
OF attempted bigamy. Fisher, SO they
assert was married July 9, 1909, under
the name of Jones, to Margaret Ecker
con, the daughter of a drum. jor in
the First Regiment
Short time ago Fisher, alias Jones,
met Miss zoller and fell in love with
her This is demonstrated by feryent
letters written by him to her. He said
that he was unmarried and that he
wanted her to marry him.
BY some lnconceivable twist Of fate
Fischer wrote one of these letters on
the back of note which had been
written to w. ]. Jones'
At the top of the page he wrote:
Dear Emma;
81 write these few lines to ask you
il you will kindly send any mail that
will come to your house to
"WM. ]. ]. FISCHER,
Care General Delivery, Newark Post
Office
Underneath the first note this epistle
was penned
Dear Emma:
"I am now living down at the club
and you know what that means
Emma, if l only had you ! would be
all right, but without you I am going
to the bad. have done wrong, know,
but / am not married. I am going to
stay in Newark so that any time you
want me to be locked up you can do
SO. The minister told me to beat It
out of town, but I am not that kind.
Will you kindly answer this letter and
let me know If I dare meet you some
time.
'I would like to have a talk with
you on some very important business
Whatever you want me to do l will

reply to this letter l remain ever at

The original letter on the other side
was as follows:
Sheffield Lodge No. 143, Order Sons

September %, 1911.
Mr.. w. j. Jones:
Dear Sir-I just write to inform you
that you was suspended from lodge
on the 18th for non-payment of dues.
Mrs. Jones said to an Evening STAR
seporter that her husband often beat
her, and that last Saturday she left
him, going to live at 341 Maple avenue,
Irvington. Since then, she said, she
has been supporting herself.

DANCER HELD
ON CHARGE MADE
BY TWO SISTERS
Trapped by Decoy Letter, He Is
Accused of Taking
Them Away.

After being trapped by deooy love-
letter, Philip voldo, Russian toe ertist
and manager of the Whirlwlnd Dancing
Troupe, was held by Judge Herr in the
Fourth Precinct Police Court today in
81, 900 bail for high misdemeanor.''
While telephoning from the box Office
of a local theatre, Voldo, so he ex-
planned in court, saw two pretty girls
eyeing him admiringly from he foyer.
"Oh, there's the dancer!" one of them
exclaimed.
The girls were Grace and Mary Gin
dia, 16 and IA years old, respectively, of
176 Warren street.
Two of Voldo's terpsichorean artists
had deserted, and he was loodng for
substitutes. According to his story he
asked the girls if they would like to
join his troupe and become stage
dancers. They were sufficiently stage
struck to consider his proposition. He
visited them later on and finally they
went to New York with him.
Their stage aspirations palled on
them after a day and they returned
home,
When the girls returned home Mrs.
Cindia became secretly enraged at the
young man and commenced to plot his
downfall She had one of the girls
write a love letter asking Voldo to
meet them at Warren street and the
canal bridge Sunday evening.
The dancer appeared at the appoint
ed spot, but instead of the two girls
he found Mrs. Cindia, Policeman Still
ner and Detective-Sergeant McGovern
waiting for him.
Voldo was incensed at his arrest.
Through It he was forced to forfeit his
thirty-two-week contract.

BADAJOz, Spain, Oct. 8.-An army Of
10000 royaIists is reported TO have in
vaded Portugal to restore ex-KiDf.
Manuel to the throne.
That country Is all afiame, rent by
labor troubles and insurrections, and
the moment chosen for the invasion is
regarded as prOpitious for such a coup.
The royalist troops are reported To-
be under the command of Captain Cou-
cero. a seasoned veteran.
A battle is momentarily expected.
Details Of the movements of either the
royalist the republican armies have
not yet been obtainable.
1t is believed, however, that If the
former are victorious the fnction-torn
country could be easily won over TO put
the exiIed monarch back upon the
throne.
King Manuel was deposed by his
people after the country had been al
ternately dlsgusted and angered at hts

indifference to the welfare of the coun-

his downfall,
Although King Manuel has been

of his fathers. Through the labor
troubles and internal dissensions which
have partially disrupted the country

Manuel has been spending his time

Mr. and Mrs Fred Lang are about to
become public charges. Orphans now
In all but name the little babies are

by the grim monsters of poverty and

Already Mr.. Lang, before going TO

the signature Of the mother Is also re-
Quired to give the babies over to the
States care She is far too Ill to write

1t is feared, too, that II the papers

the revolt Of her maternal love that
she could not survive the disruption OF
her little family. All her thoughts are
wrapped up in the children. Many

Even to suggest TO her that her
