FEAR MAN HAS
TAKEN HIS LIFE
Franz Won Windheim Now
Missing Over a Week.

Fears for the safety of Franz
Won Windheim, who disappeared
from this city Wednesday, August
18, are entertained by his relatives
and friends in this city. Some of
the latter are inclined to believe he
has committed suicide, or Is in Sc
Glued spot where he cannot be
reached by them. The police were
asked today by anxious members of
the Won Windheim family to help
seek the whereabouts of the hus-
band and father.
Won Windheim left his family at
their home, 49S Brace avenue,
about a week ago, to go to work IN
Railway. He has not been seen or
heard from since. Some of his most
intimate friends stated today he
might have taken his own life be-
cause they declare he was IN hard
financial straits when last in this
city and being known as a thor
oughly honest man he would, they
say, probably rather choose such a
course than face his creditors whom
he could not pay.
He was a man about five feet and
ten inches tall, had light brown
hair and brown mustache.

BOLD ROBBERS
IN WATER ST.
Get Much SiIverware from the
Residence of F. |. AntiseII
Last Night.
BY CELLAR ENTRANCE
Thieves Left a Trail of
Burned Matches Through
the Lower Floor.

TSble silverware, gold watch
and a fountain pen, valued to the
extent of about 500, were stolen
from the residence of F. l.. Antisell,
at LAT Water street last night. 1t
is evident that entrance was gained
through the cellar areaway and up
the inside cellar stairs. Only the
cellar and first floor were visited.
The robbers evidently took their
time and worked carefully. They
did not disturb anything unneces-
sarily and refrained from taking
marked silverware.
The thieves left string Of burned
matches in their trail, which is
about the only clue the police have.
1t is very likely their booty would
have been greater had they not been
frightened away. Indications are
they were frightened when Mrs. An
tisell got up with her baby during
the night.
Detective Sergeants Huff and
Long were detailed on the case
They visited Mr.. Antisell's residence
this morning and searched for clues
to the thieves. They went over the
course supposed to have been taken
by the robbers. The door leading to
the first floor from the cellar was
fastened with bolt which the
thieves probably manipulated so as
to open the door.

Some Democrat Leaders Are
Discussing the Idea.

There is talk among the Democrat
ic leaders in this city of inauguratng
commission control of the police
force. They would have the subject
brought before the people by a spec
ial election at which they could de-
eide whether or not they wanted a
commission appointed to control po-
lice matters.
When County Clerk Bernard NJ.
Cannon recognized leader Of Demo
cratic forces in this city, and Alder
man-at-Large William D. Voorhees,
were seen they stated the subject
had been discussed, but no action Ia
ken one way or another. MIR. Gan
non said he believed a change could
be made whereby commission
would be in control of the police de
partment, taking 1t out of the hands
of the Board of Aldermen, but he did
not know what the latest laws con-
tanned in that regard.

RESCUE GIRL BATHER
AT BAYARD' s YESTERDAY

Another drowning was narrowly
averted at Bayard's Beach yesterday
afternoon about 4.90 o'clock, when
Miss Lena Oleson, who Is believed
to be visiting friends in this city,
and lives In New York, became ex-
hausted while swimming, and had
gone down for the second time.
The young girl was swimming
alone out by the furthest pole, when
Donald Kennedy, Lewis street, who
is a member OF the Volunteer Life
Saving Corps, and is usually on duty
at the beach, saw her sink. He at
once went to her aid. Unassisted he
brought her ashore, where she soon
came around all right, though badly
frightened. Every preoaution Is
taken at the beach for safety, and
since the drowning of the Reindle
lad, there is always life guard on
the beach at the high tides. -.

WESTERN UNION
RETRENCH HERE
Plan to Move Office to TeIe-
phone Headquarters.

Plans are under way to remove the
office of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company at 6211s Smith St,
to the collection and contract head
quarters of the New York Telephone
Company, at 108 Fayette street. This
is in line with similar changes being
made throughout the country, since
1t was reported the American Tele-
phone Company and Western Union
became merged under one head. 1t
Is understood the change will not
improve telegraph service any, but
on the other hand diminish 1t as the
scheme seems to be to squeeze out
telegraph service and force extend
ed use of telephones.
1t was reported at the headquar-
ters of the New York Telephone
Company today that Western Union
Offices were being placed in those of
the sub telephone companies of the
American, throughout the county
and that preparations were under
way for such a change here. Eff
forts to confirm the report at the
local office of the Western Union
concern proved futile. as the opera
tor declared nothing had been heard
in regard thereto.
Making the change Will cause a
desk containing several telegraph
instruments to be placed in the New
York Telephone Company's office in
Fayette street. 1t will cause a shift
ing of partitions and desks now
there, 1t was stated at the office.

rapidly approaching from the south.
But for the quick action of the sta
