BEGGING HERE
Professional Solicitor Arrest

Leaning heavily on her crutch
when she thought she saw a pros
pectiye victim, and walking lightly
along when she thought no one no.
ticed her, Belle Abbott, a middle
aged woman, professional panhand-
Ter and shoplifter, of Newark, piled
her trade for several hours on Smith
street last night till finally in a par
TALLY intoxicated condition she was
taken to the police station for the
night, about 1920, by Patrolman
William Calvin.
She attracted much attention at
the saloons and other places, where
she would not exactly beg, but would
distribute cards explaining her
feigned affliction and then signift-
cantly open her purse, into which a
small stream of nickles and dimes
would roll. She took great pains to
lecture all those that laughed at her,
which made some young fellows hill
arious.
The patrolman found her on a
corner taking a draught from a bot
tie of red medicine" and being in
innate with the woman's career and
character, thought the station was
the proper place for her the rest OF
the night. She was arraigned before
Recorder Kehoe this morning and or
dered to leave town.

street. Arlington. whose body vas
found In a thicket just off Schuyler
avenue in North Arlington. conyinreS
the authorities that the man was muir
dered. Because Of the bruises Oh the
face and body it was thought at frs
that the man had peer hit by an auto
mobile and hurled into the thicket.
A further examination. however, by
County Physician Samuel Armstrong
showed that n 80 caliber bullet had Ell
tered the body under the left shoulder
blade and lodged in the right side at
the chest. DR.. Armstrong said the bui
let and not the other injuries had re
suited in death.
A note found rear the body and re
questing a meeting lin the bank sign
ed by b. G. Engle, may lead to the
discovery of the manner by which
Rittenbecker met his death.
Investigation by six detectives senI
by Prosecutor Wendell Wright of
Hackensack revealed the fact that In
last June Rittenbecker had had an mr.
gument in the bar Of John Pfaffen
DORIS hotel, which Is Just across the
street from the spot where the body
was found.
Rittenbecker was under the influence
Of liquor. according to witnesses, and
he threatened to shoot everybody IN

was arrested and sem to Hackensack
Jail, from which he was released re

Robbery was not the motive Of the

The face was cut and the body bruised
but the ground in the vicinity showed

1t is one theory of the authoritie
that the man was killed somewhere

ceedings at a coroner's inquest,
which he is anxious to view. so that
re may acquaint himself to meet re-
quirements should it fall this lot to
hold an inquest. 1t is not necessary
that he appear, as young Hall died at
the local hospital and his death certi'
fcate was signed by a physician.

vey, has been engaged, and he now
has the survey and map work well
under way. A further appropriation
of $4,000 would place In the hands
of the commission a complete survey
from Raritan Bay to Bordentown.
This would be 1000 feet wide, com
Iprising approximately 1000 acres of
land.
Details Of the proposed canal are
to be as follows; Speed in canal,
| eight miles an hour; speed In Della
ware river and New York bay, about
twenty per cent less than in open
sea; time of transit from Philadel-
phia to New York via canal, eight
hours and forty minutes; size OF ca

Homer Cook Is Elected
Captain of Next Years
Yellow Jacket Eleven

ErOMER COOK, the sturdy
II halfback of the yellow. Jacket
football team was elected
captain for next season this aft
ernoon.
Homer Will graduate this spring,
but will return and take a post
graduate course in mechanical en-
eiueering. This is Cooks third year
on the team, and with a heavier
eleven to support him he would
have made a strong bid for a place
on the all Southern team this year.
He is quick, fairly fast, but tri1e
light; but around him was massed
the greater portion of the plays
this season. He is one of the head
lest players that has worn a Tech
uniform in some time, and with him
as a leader and an even break of
luck, the yellow Jackets should be
able to turn the seeming tide of in
evitable defeat and place Tech back
in the first division of Southern
athletics.
Cook is p years old, and prep
ped at the High school at Coving-
ton, Ga. He entered Tech four
years ago. scrubbed one year,
where he was a star and went to
the varsity squad at the beginning
of the next season. His first game
was against Gordon institute,
when he demonstrated that he was
a player of the big league variety,
and since then he has played ,regu-
larly on the big team.
Tech has not had a leader in a
long time who will give the thought
and conscientious application to
the welfare of the team as Cook
will, and all Tech supporters should
join in the uplifting and upbuild-
ing of a better machine under the
new captain for 1913.
