der his stepfather, Louis Sachs, at $50

five times, was held In $1,000 bail by
Judge Hahn in the First Criminal

and presented a pitable sight as she
interceded in behalf of her son.

attempted to kill his %stepfather be-
cause the latter had continually abused
his mother. This was denied by Sachs.
He declared that the son has only been
living in this city for the past two
weeks and that his mind was unbal-

SCHROEDER GETS
ANOTHER RESPITE
Owing to Commissioners Ill
ness Decision on PATROL
man Is Put Off.

owing to the Illness of COMMISSIONS
Bonnet, the police commissioners al
their conference yesterday Afternoon
had to postpone the rendering of a de-
eision in the case of Patrolman John
Schroeder, who is charged with max
ing a false affidavit when he made APP
plication to the force, a technical
charge of being off duty and of failing
to send in a duty call. There is also a
charge that Schroeder had in his pos
session a key to enter Smiths West
enc Pharmacy, South Orange avenue
and South Seventh street. 1t is alleged
by Roundsman Troy that he found the
patrolman in the drug store. An eX-
PLANTATION was demanded of the patrol
man, and it is said he declared he had
heard burglars in the place.
An examination of the premises by
the roundsman failed to show any foot
marks in the snow, although a rear
window was broken.
IT the commissioners decide that
Schroeder is guilty of the allegations
brought out at the hearing two weeks
ago it is thought hat it will mean his
dismissal from the department.
owing to this President Bladder
wishes the full testimony of both hear
ings to be carefully considered by all
of the members of the board before
the question of Schroeder's guilt or in
nocence is decided. The case will
again be taken up next Monday at the
regular conference.
A committee from the Blind Mems
Club of New Jersey submitted a whis-
tie to the board for their approval. 1t
is slightly different from the regulation
police whistle of the traffic squad and
will be used by the members to call an
officer to their assistance when they
wish to cross the street. The signal
will be three short blasts and will not
interfere with the regular signals given
by the patrolmen in regulating wagon
and trolley traffic.
Patrolman Thomas ]. Mccarthy, OF
the Fifth Precinct, was transferred to
the Fourth Precinct and John w.
Brown, of the Fourth, was shifted to
the Fifth to take his place. This was
done on request of the two officers.
Richard Boylan was appointed tempo
rary chauffeur for the Second Precinct
auto ambulance to take the place Of
Driver Henry e. Martin, who was in
jured in an accident several months
ago which necessitated the amputation
of one of his legs.
Bids for new motorcycles will be re-
ceived by the board this week and 1t
has been decided to purchase only two-
cylinder machines owing to their supe-
rior speed. The present machines are
one-cylinder and have only been in use
a year. A good offer has been received
for them and the additional expense
will be slight. Tt is also believed that
4the new machines will last two years,
thus making a saving in the end.

To Read or TO Study.


To read or to study, that is the ques'
ton. All the emphasis today is laid
upon study. We must study literature.
we must study missions. we must
study the Bible. Are we OVERRIDING the
study business?
Parents tell me that the study OF
English literature in our schools has
blotted out the beauty and charm OF
Dickens, Scott and Shakespeare and
created in the minds Of their children
an absolute distaste for the authors
studied.
The methods of literary dissection
or, with reference to live book, what
might more accurately be called viyi
section-may be necessary for the ex
pert and specialist, but what the aver
age person needs is to love books, to
treat them as personal friends, to visit
with them and enjoy their company.
What wreck we should make of ouI
personal friendships if We applied to
them the methods of literary criticism
Our fathers and mothers read the Bi
BILE. They approached it in devotion
al spirit 1t was to them like person
al message from home. a letter from
father or mother to the absent child
They loved the Book. and 1t yielded up
to them its deepest spiritual message.
We, their children, study the Bible.
We analyze it and catalogue it. We
know more about its literary construc-
ton. We can classify the books more
accurately. But do we really know
the book? We know more things about
the Bible, but do we know the Bible7
The Christian Endeavor emphasis
upon the quiet hour has saved many
from losing the spirit In their quest for
the letter.
We need revival Of old fashioned
1evofional Bible reading. Why not let

The death of Mrs. Lydia J. Allen, which
occurred March 10, and which was noted
in these columns at that time, brought to
its earthly close life which deserves
more than passing mention. She had
been in poor health more than year, and
suffered great deal, bearing it with true
Christian fortitude, until death well
come guest-brought her rest and home.
Mrs. Aliens maiden name Was Coggins.
She was born at Newbury Neck in 1s47.
Except for few years in Brookiin, she
spent her whole life in the town of Surry.
While in her twenties she became the wife
of George Allen, one OF the merchants of
the village, who died twelve years ago
For the last few years her home has been
open to the wayfarers who tarried at the
"Bay,p there being no inn in the place,
and in this way she became we'll known
TO host of people who came To- her as
strangers and left her as friends.
She was a woman of kindly disposition,
sympathetic in spirit, quick to respond to
calls of need, and her neigh boriy minis
tries were most appreciated wherever
there was sickness or sorrow. Unselish
by nature, she despised show or sham,
and with the quiet humor characteristic of
her, would express her attitude toward
anything ofthat sort.
Her home-eall marks a distinct loss to
the Baptist church, of which she was
valued member for more than thirty-fiye

school for many years, even unto her
death, she took deep interest in its well
fare, and only four weeks before her death
was at her post. In every part of the
work of the church she proved her faith
by her works, and no pastor ever had
more loyal helper. By her service and her
substance she supported the cause SO we'll
that her departure makes gap that will
be hard to fill.
Such q character makes its impress on
a community, and this was finely ex-
pressed by the large attendance at the
funeral service. This WAS conducted by
Rev. P. A. A. Killam, her pastor. The
floral Offering were many aud beautiful,
expressing the sympathy and apprecia-
ton of many hearts. She is sincerely
missed and mourned.
She is survived by Miss Fannie Allen,
niece, who made her home with her, and
who faithfully cared for her until the end
came. Ali the near relatives had gone
before, and the hope that she cherished was
that of meeting them again. "She hath
done what she could"
