POLICE WATCH VICTIM
OF PATERSON FIRE.

PATTERSON, Jan. 8.--5ome exceed
ingly curious rumors are in circulation
concerning the fire which originated on
a back stairway Of the house at 8 See
ley street, last Saturday morning. and
resulted in the deaths of Mrs. Hannah
Clark and Charles Boshell.
The developments yesterday include
the placing of a police guard at the

ing from a sfck-bed, according to the
statements of his brother. n the re-
port from the stepfather of Boshell, de-
claring that there are a number of arti-
cles missing from the dead mans room.
why a police guard was placed about
the bedside of Ward the authorities re-
fuse to say. However, 1t seems to be
the general impression, according to
runor, that Ward. while not being ac-
cused of knowledge of the origin of the
fro, may have information which would
aid the authorities in getting at the
real cuiprit If the blaze is really the
wcrk of an incendiary.

NO "COMMERCIALISM AT
~OBERAMMERGAU, SHE SAYS
Passion Play Not Tainted by
Business, Says Lecturer.

BY arguments hat could not be uues-
Toned the charge of commercialism
made against the people Of Oberam-
mergau who take part in the Passion
Play was refuted by Miss Janet E.
Richards, Of Washington, d. c., in a
lecture given before the Contemporary
Club, of Newark, this morning, in Wall
lace Hall. The statement that the
players make enough from the produc-
tion to live on it for ten years Is also
untrue, declared Miss Richards. To
bear out her arguments Miss Richards
gave a schedule of prices charged for
accommodations in the village Of
Oberammergua during the season of
the play, inc the salary paid to those
who take part.
The 6S5 players are divided into
twelve classes, from those who play the
leading and important roles, to the lit
tie children who take part in the a b
leaux. Anton Lang, who portrays the
"Christus," and is the central figure, as
Otillie Twink, as the mother of Christ,
the man who takes the role of Judas
and others prominent in the play, re-
ceive a little less than $625, the sum
pand to Anton Lang for the seasons
work from May IL to September rs. The
children in the tableaux receive $50 for
their work, which goes to their parents.
The rates for accommodation are fixed
and vary according to the calssiica-
ton of the houses, those h~ouseholders
who have electric light and other con-
~veniences being permitted by the board
of management to charge more than
those houses who nave fewer onven
fences. The lowest rate charged per
day is $1.50, while the highest does not
exceed S.. u
Miss Richards, who spent some time
in the village of Oberammergau, said
she was unable to discover wherein
the people in any way could be accused
of taking advantage of those who visit
in the village to witness the play, and
the charge that these people have be-
come hopelessly commercialized Is as
unjust as it is untrue, h said. Miss
Richards described interestingly the
scenes and actions of the play.

rights the discoverers would have.

like polished silver.
Specimens of the ore were submitted
to the prison officials. One of them,
who had studied minerology a little,

the ore was worth only a few cents q
ton, the glitter and sparkle all being
due to the presence of mica.
