GAVE n. G. CHECK
FOR HORSES He
SOLD FOR 0. k ONE
He's Jailed Now, and Buyers
Here Wonder Whether They
Own the Horses.

This is the story of a horse deal-so
crooked that Abner J. Reed, OF Reed
Vile, Is locked up in Indianapolis,
charged with buying twenty-six steeds
without paying for them, while some
ten horse owners In Newark are Won
dering whether they really bought the
handsome horse-hesh that now graces
their several barns or whether they've
got to give II ack
This Is the way II came about:
Out In Reedville, Pa. Abner Reed was
considered a valuable citizen. He had
generations of honest horse-breeding
ancestors behind him, and a mother
who is supposed to have money OF
many kinds.
So when he vent to the Blair Baker
Horse Company at Indianapolis a few
weeks since and told them who he was
they hesitated not a moment in selling
him the twenty-six head of heavy work
horses that he called for and took his
81, 900 check with confidence and q wish
for more.
Next day, according to the charges,
young Reed shipped his whole consign-
ment of horses to Thomas Fl. Hoy, the
Broad street stable man. with instruc-
tions to sell them off without the loss
of an unnecessary minute and to for
ward the check to him. Il Y
The herd came on to Newark by a
fast freight. Hoy took them to his
stables and sold them all re-
CARELESS of price, to some dozen
of eager buyers abot town and
near New Jersey towns, who we're not,
however, SO eager that they paid any
marvellous prices for the stock. AS a
matter OF fact Hoy realized from his
sale only some $4,000, as against the
$4,000 Reed had bought the horses for
In Indiana. But he sen him on n
check for that amour and hard on
Its heels got a telegram from the Blair
Baker Horse Company, of Indian
apolis warning him that the check
they had received in payment from
Reed was a mo good" check drawn
on a Scranton bank where he had
never had an account.
Hoy stops Check.
That startled Hoy. He thought he'd
better cover himself II he could, and
so he put a stop order on the check
he had sent to Reed. That check was
cancelled for there is nothing In the
case thus far TO show that Reed
actually got any money.
Nevertheless the Blair Baker Com
pany had him arrested in Indianapolis
yesterday charged with grand larceny.
He pleaded not guilty and said that If
he had no money to max good his
horse trade his mother would come
to his aid.
Therefore the case may be settled.
Meanwhile a dozen owners of new
horses In Newark are wondering
whether they'll ever be able to work
them or not.

A. against an increase OF 30 per cent in

probably won't burst this year. But ! can
see little prosperity ahead, in or out OF

Asked II reciprocity with Canada would
not seriously affect these Western land
values Mr.. Holt replied that the prospect
OF reciprocity had already caused some
thing Of boom in the value Of farm lands

the stock Il the Canadian Pacific with a
consequent depression on this side OF the
line.
Both Mr. Holt and Carl Snyder. author Of

mony he has 70 supplement- what has al
ready been given affecting the two at
tendants. Reilly and GalDraith. II Is under
stood that the hearing will be postponed on
the application of the defendants counsel.
Mr.. Lees denies that he contemplates
taking proceedings to free twenty inmates
at Matteawan. The only case he is now
specially interested In is that OF Myrtle
Lapp. He has taken Dora Schwams state
ment IN full covering her experiences AT
Matteawau and Will do the same with Mary
Mullen. as well as Myrtle Lapp. II she is
freed. Mr.. Lees favors investigation by a
joint legislative committee into Mattea-
vans affairs. but Superintendent Collins,
he says. wants an inquiry by a special
Grand Jury which will probably Be opposed
by District Attorney Mack on account Of
the expense TO Dutchess County.

with the Mstteawan investigation said to-
night that corroboratlve evidence had been

refused called Mcdonald. who struck her In

that she was hit In the back By Mcdonald,
and the blow felled her face downward To

MUSIC
Hebrew LiturgicaI Music.

The concert OF Hebrew liturgicsl music
b. the Cantors Association OF America
which took place at Carnegie Hail last
night. attracted 90 large an audience that
IL may fairly be assumed that the projected
fund FOR the establishment of cantors
seminary benefited handsomely by 'he al
fair. The cause is an excellent one, aud.
like a movement which has recently heen
started in Germany for the wider cultivs-
tion Of synagogal music. can only result In
the development Of an appreciation OF a
class of sacred music which has never re-
ceived the attention from the musical pup
lie which il deserves. The music which the
choir OF men under the direction oi Leon
NJ Kramer sang last night was not all or
equal excellence, nor WAS the performance
impeccable. Homogeneity OF tone seems
hard TO attain in choir composed OF men
who are accustomed 10 lead in synsgogal
services. The quality Of the tenor voices
was least admirable but II IS the music
rather than it's performance which - of
primary Importance In these concerts. or
services. as they might be called, and a.
large element In last nights audience
seemed inclined 70 treat them. " would be
idle TO discuss the dignity and beauty Of
some OF the traditional melodies of the
Jews-the 'Kol nidre," for instance-but IL
can never he amiss 10 direct attention 10
tho wealth OF material which lies In this
music for ecclesiastical purposes. The
"Socharti loch' OF Lewandowskt which
formed the second number on the pro-
gran1me last night. with its markedly Rus
sian unge. was a case in point In Hi
