ARREST IN
ELLIS CASE
EXPECTED
Basking Ridge Shooting Mystery
to- Be Solved in Few
Days.

The mysterious shooting of Munroe
r. Ellis, the wealthy lumber dealer OF
Ba asking Ridge, promises to be solved
within the next few days, when the
police authorities expect to make al
arrest. Since Ellis was shot doHn
while seated with his family at the
dinlier table on November 20 detectives
have been at work trying to solve thu
mystery.
Many clues were taken up and ADAM
doned. Some of the clues led the de-
t~ectives far West, where it was thought
some enemy had come from TO avenge
"A fancied wrong. The detectives refuse
to discuss the case, but lit is genaf-
ally supposed that the crime was COM
mitted by some citizen of Rernardsville
with whom the lumber king had bus1-
ness dealings.
Much clever detective work has been
lone by John A.. Roebling, of Trenton.
He, at the time of the attempted
murder, brought his bloodhounds to the
house, but they were of little use, be-
cause so many people had visited the
scene of the shooting. He interested
Judge j. +. Jones, of Nashville. Tenn,
u criminologist of experience, and to-
gether they worked up the case. They
gave the authorities their information
and have now withdrawn from the
case. The suspect, it is declared, is d
person OF considerable prominence in
the locality. The arrest will create q
sensation.

DAUGHTER OF LEADER OF

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 13.-Can the
Finn faction come back"-in petit
coats? Maybe not, but Miss Mary
Finn is making suffrage speeches and
sending original s~uffragette literature
to the newspapers.
She's the daughter of ex-State Sena-
tor Finn, who a few years g was
cartooned in opposition newspapers as
a Monster among political leaders.
Miss Finn is one of the most active
members of the Equal Franchise Fed
Grafton of Western Pennsylvania, and
a few days ago when volunteers were
called to go on h hustings she was
among the first to respond. A few
days later she appeared on the stage
of a local vaudeville house at the close
of both the matinee and evening per-
formances, and in a voice ringing with
earnestness old the audiences why
there should be votes for women.

IN BEST OF
CONDITION

The recent cold snap and frequent
snowfalls have put the Essex county
speedway in sucn a condition that the
sleighing over this straightaway
course was never so good as one finds
it at this time. While no fixed events
have yet been planned, the speed mer-
chants are trotting out the best in
their stables, and Sunday on tho
speedway will doubtless find many
more fast horses on the drive than ever
before.
George Stengel will be out with the
whirlwind PAGER Ouida to measure
strides with the fast bay gelding AL
wanda, 2:10h, for whom j. J.. Hughes,
Of South Orange, very recently paid
1000. This will be the bay gelding's
first public appearance hereabouts
since he became the property of his
present owner.
1T is possible hat he ma hand the
Stengel PAGER a defeat. To do this he
will have to step right at his clip. Doc
Bodenweiser will show Danish Belle on
the now and this mare will throw a
surprise into the sidewalk brigade
when they see her march.
Jersey Todd, the fast black stallion
owned by Louis Marder, Will endeavor
to take somebody's measure, and the
regulars will DE offered an opportunity
to see the brown mare Kirtley E,lec-
trite parade over the snow. George
A. Oil. jr., will take a crack at the
PAGERS with the old reliable Billy d.,
one of the best snow horses in the city,
and who in the past has taken the
measure of all the cracks on the snow
path. 1T is two years since there hat
been good slsighing on the speedway
and it is needless to say that a jour
ney to the course tomorrow will b,
well worth while.

The department of statistics In the
year 1911 there We're 10, s9s births, as
against 10, 2S9 the year before. This
shows an increase in 1911 of 500 births.
The records show that last year there
were S,947 marriages and 1890 In 1910.
but although there seems to have been
fewer marriages last year than the
veal before II may not be so because
the records We're not kept so accurate
ly in 1910 before the marriage license
law was in operation. Some of the
marriages recorded for 1910 may have
been performed the year before, but
were turned In. In many cases. by Of
floating clergyrnen, in bulk. Taking
the records as they are, however, there
was a decrease of as marriages In 1911
over the year before.
The number of deaths registered in
the of1ice of the city clerk is greater
of Health, but, because the city clerk
includes still births and the Board of
Health does not, the difference IL easily
accounted for. The city clerk records
that there were $685. deaths In 1911.
| The Board of Health has 5,ss7 on its
books. There were 447 still births. o.
which the Board of Health made no
record. Since the city clerks records
and those OF the State department
agree. It is safe to assume that the
records Of the clerk are correct.
The Board of Health says that Of the
deaths in 1911 1888 were male and a.4ot
female. The city clerk shows that 3,330
were male and 2,S25 female. The actual
difference between the record Of the
Board Of Health and that of the city
clerk. after the 447 still births are con-
sidered is 81.
