Voters Will Be Bribed
With Free Drinks.

Fearing that an attempt will be made
by the saloon men Of South Orange to
hribe citizens to vote for the extra hour

church Civic League will ask Village
President Ira A. Kip, IT., to issue an
order closing all bars during the hours
from l to 8 p, m.
The league will endeavor TO get
evidence of any such violations before
or after the hours of election and prose-
cute the offenders, according to the
Rev. David De Forest Burrell, pastor
of the First Presbyterian Church, who
was n of the men interested in the
formation of the organization. The
clergyman will also use his influence
to prevent ticket peddlers'' from being
paid at all elections in the village here
after.
Interest in the village at present CEN
tres on the special excise fight to be
decided at the polls on Tuesday. The
lnterchurch League men are at work

will ask women to use their influence
with their masculine relatives to vote
for the earlier closing.
Should the interchurch men win in
their fight 1t is said that an effort will
be made later to shorten the hours
ven more.
In view of the statement contained in
a circular recently distributed in the
village by the Inter-Church Civic

favor extending the closing time to
midnight, Charles H. Burke, Frank J.
Hill. William Arthur Babson n Wal
ter I. Mccoy, today also distributed
circulars.
Chairman George K. Badger, of the
league, is challenged in the document
to publicly suggest that any improper
motive animated the trustees who
voted in favor Of the ordinance. This
def is made because in the circular
sent out by the churchmen it was
charged that the motive for the in

Returning To Germany
To Forget His Love

Hans o. F. Konnecker, jailed for all
legged threats against Aimee Dorm, his
former sweetheart, will soon be in his
native home in Hanover, Germany.
He was released from the District Jail
today by order of Judge Pugh and.
accompanied by an officer, went at
once to New York to sail tomorrow
morning. Captain Konnecker, of the
German army, Hans brother, will
meet him in Hanover.
The last stages and final crash Of
the romance of Hans and Aimee Dorm
are matters of Police Court record.
They brought Hans into court three
times and sent him to jail twice.
1t was for threatening Miss Dorm,
who has been telephone operator in
several hotels, that Konnecker was
brought into court on May II. His
personal bond was taken and he was
warned to keep away from his former
sweetheart. Again on May 26, &C
cording to the testimony of Miss Dorm
and her mother, Hans made threats,
days in Jail was the order of the
court Bond was furnished, but sub
sequently Hans was surrendered and
committed to jail.
Released from Jail early in July to
60 home Hans made trip of eleven
days to points outside Washington.
But the ties of love and the letters
to him from Miss Dorm drew him
back to Washington and to another
charge OF threats by his sweetheart
on July 81, and caused his recon-
mitment to Jail.
The German consul in Baltimore in
terested himself in Konnecker's case
and told the mother in Germany of
her sons troubles. Money for steamer
ticket at once came back.

TRADERS TRY TO RALLY MARKET,
BUT FIND 1T SLOW WORK.
SMALL NET GAINS.

II met stock which apparently was ac-
Quired when It was considered neces-
sary to give the list some support The
Moroccan situation seemed to be fraught
with some danger, as Lloyds advanced
the rate Of insurance against the haz-
ards of war. Then, too, the damage 10
cotton and the higher prices for the
cereal may have had some effect.
On the favorable side one had the
stories of increased steel production,
some little Improvement in business and
a certainty of better corn crop. Com
mission houses wired their clients that
they believed liquidation had at least
been checked temporarily and that on
further weakness the list ought to be
bought
Fluctuations were indicated by a rise,
sharp at the opening, a slump OF V on
the average, rise of 1zq%, and fur
ther slight reaction up to and well in
to the noon hour. The net gains for
the session at this time were Y on
Steel, * on Union Pacific, 11s on South
ern Pacific, q on Reading, Northern
Pacific, Copper and some other stocks,
III on Canadian Pacific, 2h on Tobacco,
with a V loss on Lehigh Valley, and
more or less irregularity.
In the noon hour and the second
hour of the afternoon, the gains were
further shaved by a q loss and a
rather soft temper to the list
