Howard Jeffries is found in the
apartment of a former college friend,
Robert Underwood, who, because of
desperate financial straits, ends his
life. The police rush in and wiring a
| confession from Jeffries thai he has
killed Underwood.
Through the efforts of his wife, who
clings faithfully to him to the end,
and of Richard Brewster, a cele-
brated lawyer, Jeffries is finally
cleared.
All the members of the company
were superb in their respective parts
last night, and delighted an unusual
ly large Monday night audience. As
Brewster, the lawyer who succeeds
in clearing young Jeffries, Joseph
Girard deserves especial mention and
merited the frequent applause he re-
ceived.
William Holden. in the role of Cap

ton.
Miss Brownell as Mrs. Howard JEFF

"LITTLEST REBEL" WINS
HEARTS AT THE NEWARK

Yankees and rebels had their in
:. nings last evening at the Newark
Theatre. 1t was a fight between mill
tary duty and duty to humanity, and,
although military duty seemed to lead
all the way in the race up to the last
inning, the duty to humanity won out
with flying colors.
f'War has its fiendish laws that
govern 1t, but there is still another
. law-the law of humanity" beauti-
fully depicted in the thrilling little
melodrama, 1.-THE Littlest Rebel"
1T is a sensationally romantic story
filed from curtain to curtain with
heart interest. The heart interest is
manifest in a deep love between a
father and his little child and an old
slave and his master.
: Through the booming of cannon and
the crack of guns the pathetic story
of Virgie Cary. daughter OF a Con-
federate scout, is told and her rugged
heroism and sweet childish beauty
make an unmistakable appeal for
sympathy and tears and gets both.
.virgie Cary. capably played by
Boots Woorster, encounters nearly all
the exigencies of war. This littlest

"Bnnty Pulls the Strings" to
Delightful Scotch Dialect,
in Initial Performance.
'IITTLEST REBEL" STEALS
HEARTS AT THE NEWARK
Proctor's, Orpheum, Jacobs's
Miners and Gayety Have
Excellent Performances.

The Shubert Theatre started on its
second season last night with Ora
ham Moffat's charming scotch
comedy. "Bunty Pulls the Strings
II would be highly foolish to begin
this humble chronicle of the event
with an introduction so formal as
Newark, "Bunty:" "Bunty," Newark
or by attempting any critical appre
citation of the quaint little play,
Bunty needs an introduction no more
than a President-eleet a few days
before inauguration, and so many en-
pert hands have pointed out through
the medium of a few thousand news
papers and periodicals its many
excellencies that everybody who
takes even a cursory glance at Z
newspaper or magazine more thai
once a year must know all about
'Bunty Pulls the Strings long ere
this.
iAnd that is perhaps the principaI
reason why the Shubert was crowded
last night from its ornamental front
to it's stage, and from it's decorated
Ciiill Ill II 10 oiDO u y
good reason why the same kind Of
audience will probably journey tc
the playhouse for the remainder Of
the week.
If you've never seen "Bunty'
there's a considerable treat in store
for you, and If you have it won't
harm you to go again.
rBunty is the daughter of Tammas
Biggar, a harsh, hypocritical man
Her troubles are few All she has tc
cone with is a father who has made
off with some trust funds; a jaun-
diced spinster to whom the funds be-
longed and who intends using the
fathers embezZlement as a club to
force him to marry her; a hare
Drained brother, a humorless fiance
and a few other cares a little more
or less important than these.
The action of the play takes in
only twenty-four hours, but Bunty
manipulates her little wires in such
q way that the atmosphere is cleared
and every one made happy before the
curtain descends.
The same company that presented
the play for a season and a little
more in New York has brought ii over
here. Molly Pearson is Bunty, Ethel
bert Hales her father, Sanderson
Moffat her solemn lover, and Vera
Pole the designing maiden lady.
The lesser characters are in capa-
BILE hands. or rather mouths, for not
the least enjoyable part of the whole
thing is the perfectly natural man
a IN which all of them sneak their
lines i'm the difficult Scotch dialect.

WAR ON GASOLINE
FRAUDS STARTED
Campaign Against Garage
Owners Who Cheat Autoists
to Be State Wide.

TRENTON, Sept. 17.-William l..
Waldron, State sealer of weights and
measures. began today a Statewide
campaign against the defrauding of
automobilists by garage owners who
sell short measure of gasoline by
means of false measures. These
frauds, according to Mr.. Waldron,
amoduht to more than 81, 1000. 900 a
year, and he tells of n dealer who
he estimates stole at least $500 in
the year just past by a of light
measures.
Mr.. Waldron is today in Burlington
county with several of his assistants.
There he will confscate all false
measures. arresting some dealers who
make use of them, and warning 9TH
ers.
The principal means used by dis

honest garage owners, according to
the State ~sealer. Is a metal tank, sup-
posed to contain five gallons, but
which holds in reality only three.
These etanks are of the size Of a
i~ve-gallon measure, but contain a
false bottom.
Another favorite scheme of the deat-
ers is to doctor automatic pumps.

ing TO the number of strokes made
with their handles. The insertion Of
a little peg in the pipe of one of these
pumps lessons the quantity Of gaso-
line which flows out with each stroke,
and the purchaser is thereby Hs-
frauded.
There are a hundred other tricks
used by the dealers, Mr.. Waldron
says. depending on the ingenuity and
dishonesty of the man employing
them.

SCHWARz FIRM IN
BIG LIBEL SUIT
Meat Exporters Say Local Pub
LEGATION Damaged Bust
ness $250,oo0.
Especial to the Newark star

TRENTON, Sept. 17.-Libel suit to
$3.50, 900 damages was insti-
tuted in the Supreme Court today by
the Schwarz Brothers Company, OF
Kearny, against the Evening News
Scudder and Edward w. Scudder,
publishers of the Newark Evening
News.
The suit sets out that the defend
ant company published articles in its
paper on September 10. 20 and 81, of
1911. hat the Schwarz Company had
unla wfully carried on its horse-meat
business at Kearny.
It is also asserted that the COM
pany has taken horses which were
diseased and which had died other
wise than by slaughter and prepared
them for human consumption and
that this product was shipped to Hol-
land and brought back to this coun-
try as imported frankfurters, bo-
lognas and smoked beef.
The Schwarz Bros Company deny
all the allegations and brand them as
a false, malicious and defamatory
libel. They say that the articles pub
lished in the Newark Evening News
damaged their credit and business
and shat their export trade has been
wholly ruined. They also say that as
the result of the articles that several
persons have refused to do business
with them. They also set out that
they have been deprived of large
sums of money by reason of penal and
criminal prosecutions against them
caused by such publications.

the Schwarz Bros Company.
When seen today Edward w. Scud-
der had NJ comment to make. He
declared that the suit would certain
ly be contested and that the answer
was now being prepared by their
counsel. Pitney. Hardin & Skinner.
Until the case comes up he said he
would rather make no statement
other than to say that they will en-
deavor to prove anything and every
thing that was said in the News ar
ticles with reference to the Schwartz
plant.
