Picked Up Unconscious, but Is

Home.

Hurled through the windshield OF ms
automobile as it struck a tree near
Summit today. Frank Bergen, general
counsel for the Public Service Corpora
ton. was picked up unconscious in
Springfield avenue, Summit, n was
taken to Overlook Hospital. Mr.. Ber-
gen was driving the car alone at the
time of the accident.
He was cut about the chin and
cheeks. He was taken from the hos
pital to his Bernardsville home in an
other automobile.
Mr.. Bergen was on his way from his
summer home in Bernardsv1lle to his
offices in Elizabeth. He was a trif1e late
in leaving his summer home and was
speeding along at a fast rate in his
touring car. Just outside of Summit
something went wrong with the auto
mobile. Whether it was blowout OF
one of the tires. or that the trouble was
with the steering gear is not known.
The automobile is scattered In pieces
for several hundred feet along the road

Every effort was made by Mr.. Ber-
gen to bring the machine to a sudden
stop. The leyess. it is said. did not
work. The huA tar skidded, struck a
~culvert, bounded off the ground and
sideswiped a tree along the road.
Mr.. Bergen desperately tried to regain
control of the car. II went on with
speed unchecked for about 100 feet,
then crashed into another tree. Ma
chinery under him began to snap.
Mr.. Bergen was thrown from one side
of the car to another. A short distance
farther on the automobile crashed INTO
a third tree. 1t was then hat Mr.. Ber-
gen was pitched headfrst through the
windshield. He was picked up about
ten feet from the wreekage OF the ma
chine.

would not he significant. Comparison
of the registration by district is of no
significance either because the lines
have been changed under the provisions
of the Geran law, from last year.
Registration in the city was compare
lively larger than In the outlying dis
tricts, where many persons seemed to
be satisfied tina their names would be
carried over from the election lists OF
last year. Those whose names have
not been either copied from the election
books last year or who failed to regis
ter yesterday will not be able to vote
on primary day, although they may
register on that day. A large numbe
of names were added to the primary
registration lists yesterday by affidavit.
The registration in Montclair yester-
day was as follows: First ward, first
district. 65; second district, So; Second
ward, first district. 10: second district,
so: third district, Il; Third ward, first
district, 70; second district, 101; Fourth
ward. hrst district, 81; second district,
43: Fifth ward, first district, So; second
district, SO.
In other places The registration was
co~rrespondingly light. In Nutley there
was a total registration of SIS, as
against 1852 last year.
About 100 voters out OF 1,400 eligible
tool the trouble to personally register
in South Orange. In five instances
voters were not registered ecaus they
refused to make publis their ages, con-
tending that they would rather lose
their votes than give their pedigrees. !"
as one expressed 1t Another ma
could not register because he did not
recollect his age. One voter refused
TO give his business and failed to reg
lister. Twenty-eight new names were
added to the registry lists in the viii
lage.
New Law In East Orange.
East Orange had many troubles with
the new law. In the Second district
of the Third ward the election officers
did not show up till 7 o'clock at night
and voters were not allowed to register
until they told how they were going to
vote on primary day.
The district boards were supposed to
be at their polling places at l o'clock
to register voters, but none came
around to the district and voters were
disappointed.
Later TT. Rowley heard of the ques-
tons being asked voters and had the
questioning stopped concerning how
men We're going to vote.
There We're many other troubles all
over the city and voters seemed dis
gusted with the law.

EAST ORANGE MAN
BUNCOED, TURNED
TABLE ON 'SLEUTH'
Surprises New York Confidence
Gent, Who Calls to Col
Iect $500.

Playing the part of detectives two
alleged crooks of New York managed
to get IS from John II. Shoyer, OF l.
Whittlesey street, East Orange, and
induce him to sign a note for $500 in
lieu of spending a night in a police
station and facing trial. Mr.. Shoyer
believed at first hat the men were
detectives and did as lie was hidden.
When he returned to his home he be-
came suspicious and notified Chief of
Police O'Neill, of East Orange.
Last night was the time set for pay
ing over the $500. One of the alleged
detectives went to the home of Mr..
Shoyer. Hidden in the kitchen were
Chief O'Neill and Roundsman Burns.

man; 81 presume you are willing to
hand over the none and save your
self from unpleasant notoriety."
81 have not been able to get that
much in cash today" replied Mr..
Shoyer. won't you settle for $50?'
The man replied hat he thought it
could be arranged. At that moment
the police, who had overheard the
conversation. placed the man under ar
rest. Recorder Mott was notified, and
he went to the Shoyer home and took
the man TO police headquarters in his
automobile. He said that he was John
N. Carroll, and thai he lived at the
Hotel Putnam, Twenty-fourth street
and Sixth avenue, New York. He re-
fused to make a further statement.
According to the story of Mr.. Shoyer
he went to a New York theatre the
..-lt e c. o - IL
train home and started uptown for a
hotel. In the subway he was jostled.
His hat was knocked off and a we'll
dressed young man politely handed it
to him.
You had better take the surface car,
as there are many p~icl<pockets on these
cars said the stranger. Mr.. Shoyer
left the subway together with the
young man. In passing through a side
street the stranger asked Mr.. Shoyer
to step into his room for a minute.
Shortly after leaving the room the
two men were stopped by the alleged
detectives.
You are ~pickpockets and will have
to come with u.s." said one of the
men. Mr.. Shoyer and his newly-found
friend went along. 1t was when within
a block of a police station thai the
offer to let Mr.. Shoyer go If he Would

the room of the young man, where
the papers were signed.

worked together. Mr.. Shoyer does no

LATEST NOVELTIES
IN HANDKERCHIEFO

Among the latest novelties in handker-
chiefs are those with a japanese scene
sketched in one corner with a very fine
silk thread. The picture is about two
inches long and one inch wide. with Jap
anese pagodas, blossoms, and branches
Of trees outlined in pale pink, blue, red.
or yellow. The sketch is not on the
handkerchief. but is on a separate piece
Of the material and appliqued.
Handkerchiefs OF Madeira embroidery
are popular. They are embroidered in
colors as we'll as white. Some have
tiny scallop edged in blue, pink, lavender.
or green; others have a sprig OF flowers
embroidered in one corner as well as the
scalIoped edge.
CoIors. either in polka dots or as mar
row borders. are used on most of the
new handkerchiefs. Some have colOred
centers with white polka dots and others
have Colored dots on the white centers
with a very narrow border in color. It
is the fashion to carry with a linen suit
a handkerchief with a touch OF color
matching the suit.
Nun EyeIet Initials.
While We still see laces, embroideries.
and the like, yet the very neatest pat
terms are of the sheerest material i'm
aginable. delicately turned on the edges
and plain hemstitched or trimmed with
very narrow lace. Monogram handker-
chiefs with nun eyelet initials, delicately
worked, are very attractive.
Fine sheer handkerchiefs are easily
made at home and cost much less than
when bought at the store. Instead of
hemming the edges they should be roll
ed French fashion. Dampen the thumb
and first finger OF the left hand and
roll as finely as possible. as you con-
tinue to sew. The lace edging or in
sertion that you trim with should be
sewed on with the same stitch that sews
the roll. In other words. the roll and
edging are sewed at the same time 1t
makes prettier, more delicate finish
than hem, as 1t is almost invisible.
Such handkerchiefs may be trimmed as
simply or as elaborately as you wish.
