"Put him on the street car, give him

him to come to my Office" the Gov

The man came, and went into execu-
tive conference with the Governor. The
plan was outlined. the honor system
worked out, and the man went back to
prison on the next car and spread the
news through the 450 men behind the
walls. Once the Governor sent half a
dozen long-term men to town to see
the sights for half a day and report
back to the warden by shutdown. They
had a good time and reported back to

PRAYER" FRAUD
REVIVED BY lMPOSTER,

Reports are going the rounds in
Catholic circles that the ancient fraud
of a "Pope's Prayer" is being perpe-
trated again in this vicinity. In New
York city the clergy have officially
warned their congregations OF the spur
ious prayer. and If the rumors of the
infamous activity in this city are sub
stantiated, similar action is apt to be
taken.
The scheme is worked by a man in a
priests garb, who calls on servant
women and other Door folks and offers
the prayer" which is supposed to have
come from the Pope in 1895 to Emperor
Charles before the latter went into bat.

1t is said that, as Is the Erie company's
practise, local contractors will soon be
asked for figures on the station, its
approaches and the retaining wall, and
plans will be filed with Building In

This is the Improvement which the
West Hudson County Board of Trade
and more recently the Kearny town
officials had urged the Erie to make,
and for which Kearny's mayor and
Town Council appealed to the Public
Utilities Commission.
The latter body finally directed the
Erie company to put a station where
mentioned, and the new depot Will be-
called "Kearny," much to the gratihca-
ton of the residents OF the town. The
Harrison station will probably be main
tanned, but Grant avenue as a stopping
place may be discontinued.
