LAST OF ARSON
GANG IN PRISON
Charles Deichman Found
Guilty to HaCkensack.

Hackensack, N. J.. Dec. 19.-Charies
Dejchman was convicted here on a
charge of being an accessory to his
brother August and to John Kapuu in
the burning of two buildings In Cliff
side April 10.
A gang of hrebugs is believed to be
responsible for a dozen or more serious
fires in the Clifside section of Bergen
county. They are directly charged
with 1--WE fires within the last two
years, the loss being $4,000.
August Deichman was the recognized
head of the band. Their depredations
became SO fragrant that Prosecutor
Wendell J.. Wright and the fire insur-
ance companies combined to discover
those responsible. VIII M. Clemens. a
former newspaper man. was employed
In the work and succeeded In making
arrests. Later John Heesch. one of
the band. became frightened and con-
fessed.
August Deichman and John Kapun
were placed on trial Oct. II charged
with having destroyed two buildings
on April 10. causing a loss of $1,000.
The buildings were close together. one
being owned by Charles Deichman.
Together they were insured for $14.-
600. The trial had proceeded for an
hour when Kapun dramatically ex-
claimed, Il am guilty, and l want to
tell the truth"
This abruptly ended the trial. and a
few days later August Deichman con-
fessed to this charge and also to set
ting fire to the Bennett lace curtain
factory at CIiTside. where the loss was
about $4,000.
The Deichmans did not receive any
insurance money from the destruction
of these buildings owing to the suspi-
cions of the insurance companies.

NO oFFENsE TO CAR.

President Ends Treaty With No
Grounds For Unfriendly Feelings.
Washington. Dec. 19.-The treaty of
1882 with Russia, against which the
Jews of this country have been pro-
testing for many years. will be ter
minated without giving serious ofense
to the cars government. Formal
notice has been served on the govern
ment at st. Petersburg OF the inten-
ton Of the United States to end the
treaty Jan. !. 1913.
President Taft took the situation into
his own hands and through the Unit
ed States ambassador at st. Peters
burg on Sunday made the first move
toward the cancellation of the treaty.
The president notified the senate Of
his action and asked for the approval
and ratification of that body.
All propositions eventually were
evolved from the chaotic conditions:
First. - The presidents message
should be entirely ignored regarding
the request for approval by the senate
alone without concurrent action by the
house.
Second.-The language In the Sulzer
resolution, construed as offensive to
the Russian government. must be elm
mated.
Third--Discussion Of the subject
should be In open senate In order that
the country might know practically
what was being done.
