NOTE IS MANS DOOM
Husband Out of Work FORCES
Wife's Name to Check.
Banker Goes to Her Aid and Writes
to Offer Position, But Woman's
Spouse, Fearing Prosecution,
Ends Life.

Chicago.-Receipt of a letter by q
Chicago man recently, a letter which
should have brought employment and
happiness, caused the man who re-
celVed it to commit suicide. The
strange story of how her husband. who
had long been out of work, took his
life upon the receipt of a letter which
meant the offer of a job and future
comfort is told by the suicides widow.
MY husband, after being long de-
spondent over sickness and his inabil-
ity to obtain a position, in a moment
OF weakness took my bank book,
which recorded small amount of de-
post, and forged my name to a check
for $12. l know that he used the
money in an endeavor to find employ
ment and that he would have paid it
back to me, but fate willed differently"
said the widow, sadly.
II discovered the forgery accident
ally when l went to the bank few
days later.
Il was ushered into the presidents
ONCE and told him my story. ex-
planned to him that my husband had
always been hard working and honest
and had never before committed an Of
tense of any kind before, but that he
had been respondent because of his in
ability to find work. The banker
seemed touched by my story and treat
ed me with the utmost kindness.
I do not feel said the bank Of
fetal, that this is a case for the courts.
itseems that perhaps your husband has
been more or less a victim of circum-
stances, and think that if he is given
a chance he will be an honest man
henceforth. So strongly do l believe
this that / will show your husband
that every mans hand is not against
him. l am going to have him call upon
me and will give him a position in
the bank as a porter, and IL he does
well will make him Waterman. I
will write letter to him at once
"The bank president wrote a letter
simply asking my husband to come
and see him. / went out to do some
work and did not return home until
evening. The letter had reached my
husband in the afternoon at home. l
suppose that since the letter did not
speak Of a position, and as my hus-
band was conscious that he was guilty
of the forgery, he became crazed with
the thought that his act had been dis
covered at the bank and that the letter
telling him to call meant that he would
soon be In the clutches of the law.
Il suppose the terror of his posi-
ton drove him insane, for he went into
a shed on the rear of our lot and killed
himself by hanging. The letter, taken
out OF the envelope, was in his coat
pocket, mute witness of the cause of
his self-destruction. / found his body
later in the evening when l went to
the shed and was almost crazed with
grief, the sudden changes from despair
and fear to Joy and then again to hor-
ror and anguish being more than l
could bear.
THE president of the bank has nev-
er ceased to reproach himself for
what he terms his negligence in not
giving a more complete explanation
when he wrote the letter, and since
my husbands sad death the kindly
bank official has seen to it that l have
all the work at dressmaking that
can do"

IS FAMILIES MAY
LEAVE SYNAGOGUE
Those Not in Sympathy with
Orange Congregation to
Act Tonight.

At a meeting tonight of about fifteen
families who are not in sympathy with
what they term modernism in the con-
duct of affairs of the Congregation
Sharey Tefilo, in Cleveland street, Or
ange, 1t is likely a decision will be ar
rived at to resign from membership
in that well-known Jewish body, the
Oldest In the Oranges and which has
been fiourishing exceptionally well dur
ing the past months under the leader
ship of Rabbi Joseph Friedlander.
Rabbi ~Friedlander today denied that
any official information was at hand
to that effect ana declared the entire
situation was a mere domestic prob

Germ to the congregation. He depre-
Gated the publicity given the differ
ences OF opinion concerning the pro-
posed Jewish school for instruction in
that language and was perfectly o
fldent the situation Will right itself

Body at Eagle
Rock, Suicides

Although he is practically certain
that the unidentified man found dead
in Eagle Rock reservation by the park
police Saturday afternoon committed
suicide by taking poison, Deputy
County Physician M. Herbert Simmons
will not perform an autopsy to discover
the exact cause of death.
There are no outward marks of
foul play" he said, "and there is moth
ing to suggest that the man was as
saulted, therefore I do not see why the
county should have to pay for an
autopsy"
The theory of the deputy county
physician is that the man took some
poison, such as arsenic, and then
walked to the secluded spot in Eagle
Rock park where his body was found
a few hours later by q policeman. This
would explain the absence of a bottle
or other container.
The supposed suicide Is between 50
and 60 years old, 40 pounds in weight,
FIVE feet eight inches in height, and
with a number Of gold filings and some
gold bridgework In his teeth. The body
is in Kunz's morgue.

MISSION PRIESTS FATHER.

At 5 o'clock this morning a solemn
high mass of requiem was celebrated In
the Church of Dur Lady Help of Chris
tians. East Orange, for the repose of
the soul Of D. ]. Brown. Mr.. b wn,

people received holy communion as an
offering for MI. Browns soul.
The full chancel choir chanted the
requiem. Father Brown thanked those
present for their attendance, and said
he appreciated the honor shown him
by the people, their pastor and his as
sistants.

L|KENs VILLAGE
To LARGE HOTEL
Clergyman Points Out Faults of
Community in Discussing
Its Problems.

South Orange village is likened to a
large hotel by Rev. David De Forest
Burreil, pastor of the First Presby-
terrain Church, who delivered a sermon
last night on The Great Problem of
South Orange" Because OF this condi-
ton he said there are three symptoms
always present in the village which
enable him to diagnose the social dis
ease from which the villagers suffer
IAN extreme form of selfish unneigh-
borliness."
South Orange" Mr.. Burrell said,
"is a peculiar community. 1t has what
many are pleased in their ~condescen-
sion to call the working class It
has a second element, composed of the
Villagers who have been born and
brought up here. They look with sus-
picion and some distatste upon the
third element in the life Of the village
the tcommuters;' and here we are,
three distinct classes thrown together
like the servants and permanent guests
and transients n a great summer hotel.
Now in this peculiar society there
are plainly to be seen the symptoms
of a very grave disease. In our social
life one symptom is the outrageous
and almost universal habit of gossip.

GIRL BEATS OFF
HER AsSA|LANT
Miss Hazel r. Miller, of Caldwell,
Attacked and Knocked
Down.

Fighting desperately against an at
tempted assault Miss Hazel R. Miller.
10 years of age, put to rout an I'M
known assailant Saturday night, who
attacked her within a half block of her
home, in Roseland avenue, Caldwell.
Miss Miller was returning to her home
about 9:20 p. m. She had company as
far as Oak Grove road. a block distant
from the scene of the attempted as
sau1t.
After passing Oak Grove road, Miss
Miller heard footsteps behind her, and
as the man drew near he grabbed Miss
Miller by the throat and threw her to
the pavement, pounding her head
against the sidewalk. Miss Miller
screamed and the neighbors from
whom she had separated only an in
slant before heard her cries and ran
to her rescue. Their approach fright
ened away the assailant and he dis
appeared. Miss Miller was carried to
her home, where she is recovering
from the shock. She asserts that she
bit the mans finger until it bled in
her violent efforts to defend herself
from his attack.
The girl, who is we'll known in Cald-
we'll, graduated recently from the High
School there, and fs now employed as
a s~tenographer in the office Of the cald-
we'll Printing Company.
She described her assailant as we'll
dressed, wearing an o%vercoat and cap
and carrying q shoe box under his
arm. The shoe box vas dropped dur
ing the struggle, but the man picked
it up again before he made his escape.

DOG STEALS STEAK, FOR
WHICH OWNER MUST PAY.

HAfFrL HE-
A dog of which James Ferguson is
the alleged owner. entered the yard of
Ignatius Andrews, SO Orchard street,
Bloomfield. yesterday and, nosing
about, discovered a f1ne sirloin steak
which Mrs. Andrews was about to pre-
pare for dinner. The meat had been
placed on the rear porch to keep 1t
cool, where the animal found 1t and
naturally seized 1t and conveyed it to
it's own yard, where 1t ate the steak.
A few minutes later Mrs. Andrews
discovered her loss and she could not
account for it's disappearance until in
formed by a neighbor. When the dog
came back for more Mr.. and Mrs. An
drews were in waiting, armed with
broomsticks, and a lively time ensued,
which ended in the complete rout Of
the dog.
Although the Andrews family went
without steak yesterday they will en-
joy one later at Mr.. Ferguson's ex-
pense.

PETRIFIED BLACKSNAKE
DISCOVERED BY LABORERS,

a HHEmwNA4H
While workmen were engaged in
clearing away the underbrush on Wat
sesssing swamp, now a part of the Essex
County Park system in Bloomfield,
Saturday, they came across what they
thought at first to be a fence rail. Upon
closer investigation. however, they
were astonished to discover that the
supposed rail was really the petrifed
remains of a big blacksnake.
Unfortunately when they attempted
to pick 1t up it crumbled into dust. 1t
Is believed that the serpent, which had
turned into a substance resembling
wood, was the one which existed a
quarter of a century ago, and which
was remembered by the older citizens
as the one infesting at that time Indian
hill, which has inc been removed to
make way for improvements.
