EVENING STAR TO
SEE THAT SANTA
IGNORES NOCH|LD
Empty Stocking Club
Will Spread Christ
mas Cheer.
"a SIMPLE PLAN TO BRING
HAPPINESS TO EVERY HOME
Coupon Furnishes You Means
of Blessing Others and
Yourself.

The Evening Star sees no reason IN
the world why any child i'm Newark
should awake on Christmas morning
to find an empty stocking.
1t is for the purpose of bringing
Its readers to this same way of
thinking that the few suggestions
here contained. which will be re-
peated frequently between now and
Christmas. are made.
In another column you'll find a
Christmas proclamation. to which is
attached coupon. The coupon ex-
plains itself and you, who are read
Ing this, are expected to do what the
coupon proposes. II you can afford it,
Briefly, the plan of this newspaper
for preventing empty stockings
bringing empty hearts to the little
children of the city is this:
You, Mr.. Reader, Mrs. Reader, Miss
Reader and Master Reader, are asked
to put by little bit from the money
you expect to spend for Christmas
and devote 1t to purchasing presents
FOR some poor child. The Evening
Star will act as the Intermediary.
Coupon VIII Serve as Notice.
From the coupon you fill out this
paper will be informed that you are
able and willing to spread Christmas
cheer where 1t will be appreciated,
and from the letters which come to
this office from persons who are uri-
able to do for their children as they
would like, you will be put in touch
with the deserving children.
You are not asked to contribute
anything, unless you see that what
YOU spend will go to some good use.
This Is not hold-up game. Mailing
coupon to this office puts you un-
der no obligation at all. All You are
asked TO do is to investigate the
cases that are referred to you. and
IL you find the persons worthy of
help to do as the coupon suggests
This plan We are calling the Empty
Stocking Club. It is nothing new.
The Evening Star had an Empty
Stocking Club last year, and 1t was
mammoth success. People in all
walks of life, those with more money
than they can ever use, as well as
those who had to stint themselves to
further the empty stocking idea, took
up the plan with enthusiasm.
One wealthy man played Santa
Claus in his automobile and carried
presents to half a hundred homes
which had been. brought to his atten-
ton by the Evening Star.
Think Of Your own Child
This year we are most anxious that
the Empty Stocking Club should
again prove success. Even If you
can only buy one child a twenty-five
cent doll. you will be doing your
share. The only way by which the
club can fulfill its purpose is by hav-
ing those with only a little money to
spend, spend it and willingly.
Don't leave it all on the shoulders
of the wealthy business men with
automobiles. They'll do their part.
but you're also expected to do yours.
Just look at your own little son,
little nephew or little brother and try
to realize how you'd feel If he was
left with nothing in his stocking on
Christmas Day.
See the point?

TRENTON. Dec. 4.-Bloodhounds
were used today to aid the armed
posse searching for the negro who
brutally assaulted Miss Louella Mar
shall. a white woman. and left her
dying in a field near Pennington
road, on the western outskirts Of the
city.
Despite the earnest effort of the
county and its police authorities in
seeking to find the assailant of Miss
Marshall no arrest was made up until
noon today
The police are hampered in their
work because they have no positive
clues. and further because no de-
scription of the negro who assaulted
Miss Marshall could be obtained from
her on account of her precarious con-
dition.
Miss Marshall has not gained con-
seriousness since the assault.
Lynching, it is feared, will follow
the capture of the fiend. Revolvers.
shotguns, rifles and clubs are carried
by the posse All the policemen and
plainclothesmen that can be spared,
as well as the prosecutors detectives.
are working on the case.
Excitement is at fever pitch in the
western part of the city, where Miss
Marshall was well known, and open
threats have been made that the
negro. IL caught. will be strung to
the nearest tree.
Miss Marshall, who is 2S years old,
is In the Mercer Hospital with frac-
tured skull and other serious In
iurIes Her condition is critical and
the physicians hold out no hope of
her recovery.
After visiting Mrs. Edward Eggert,
who was i'll, and reading. to her, Miss
Marshall started to return at $50

Over Hand.

The ups and downs o. young Mr.
Charles C. Carhart, who lives with
his father, HenneIl Carhart, wealthy
Hoboken contractor. at rs Stetson
street. Orange Valley, are told in the
petition for divorce which he has
filed in chancery Court. Jersey City
against his young and attractive
wife, Mrs. Eva May Yeomans Car
hast
How Carhart shinneyed up a dumb
waiter cord to seek his wife in the
apartments of wealthy william r.
Keene. hardware merchant. at 143
Chambers street, New York, is per-
haps the most exciting adventure of
the plaintiff chronicled in the petit
tion.
1t was on the night of Saturday,
May II, 1911, the petition relates, that
Carhart and i've detectives slinked
up to 21 Claremont avenue, New
York, where Keene maintained his
residence. A man was looking out of
til ? Keene apartments on the fifth
floor. as the visitors stood in the
street. Then came a terrific rum
bling noise from the interior of the
building. and man, muff1ed In a
long overcoat, rushed from the cellar
past Carhart and his companions.
The young husband and the others
then entered the cellar, the petition
states, and saw the door Of the dumb
waiter shaft open. The tiny lift was
far up near the roof, so the sleuths
deduced that the man they had heard
coming down hadn't bothered to
board the dumbwaiter; he'd just
plunged down the shaft.
The detectives drew the elevator
down, young Carhart got inside and
his allies started to pull the rope.
This method Of making his ascent
proved far too slow for the anxious
husband. for It was more than a min
ute before he had reached the first
floor. 80 he got out of the dumb
waiter and climbed the rope nand

over hand until he reached the Keene
apartment.
There, he told reporter for the
Evening Star today. he found his
wife, much excited, but close in
spection of the apartment disclosed
no companion. From quantity OF
mans clothing strewn about the
place, though, he says. he thinks "a
man had been there only few min
utes before and had left hurriedly.
Mrs. Carhart explains her presence
In the Keene apartment in an affida-
Wit in which she says she was en-
gagged by Keene to take care Of his
apartments while he was in Florida.
Keene corroborated this lin another
affidavit, and states that he was In
Florida the night of the raid. He
further declares he refused Carhart's
offer to relinquish all claim to his
wife for $1,000
The Carharts have been married
four years and lived in East Orange
until they separated last April. They
have one son, Stewart, 8 years old.
Mrs. Carhart was employed as a

far by the Board of Education. Cap
tain G. Albert Gasser, head OF the de-
partment of combustibles and fire
risks, has branded the Elliot Street
Public School, 1t is understood today,

parents.
The report is said to show that
the boiier-room In the basement Of
the school is non-areproof Not
only Is 1t known as a dangerous fire
hazard, but the cooixingrroom, on
the first floor is also non-nxeproof.
Captain Gasser's recommendations
call for immediate action. He sug-
gests that the heating plant in the
old building should be abandoned
and points out. 1t is understood, that

Captain Gasser will not divulge tbs
contents of his statement, because II
would appear discourteous to ths

The commissioners themselves
when asked today to allow the re.
port to be published, would not hea,
of 1t. They insist that it ought mo-
to be made public until 1t has frs
come formally before them at e. reg
ular meeting.
Despite their contention, however

bert, supervising architect. and Will.
lam p. O'Rourke, superintendent OF

ly after they had been Teceived.
President James Taaffe, of the
board. argued that the meeting yes.
terday was for the special purpose oi
awarding the bids for the South Side
High School and the placing of schoo

When asked to make public the re-
port, he refused point-blank.
1t was suggested to him that the

great public interest and one of the
utmost Importance to parents whose

But what Captain Gasser found in
his inspection of the old building will
not be officially known until next
