OF FORGERY

Elliott NJ. Channels. formerly of
this city, while riding in an automo-.
bile with two young women of Mt.
Arlington, N. J., was arrested n
taken to the Essex county peniten-
tary on a charge of forgery. The
complainant, State Prison Inspector

police.
The policeman ordered the chauffeur
to stop. Channels, who was In the
rear seat with the girls, vas hen
told that he wanted on a charge of
forgery. He was asked to leave the
machine, but this he refused to do.
and when the officer attempted to
al him out he put up a fierce fight.
Such a noise was created by the
scream of the women and the loud
talk of the two men that Patrolnhan
William F%innegan, who was patrolling
near the centre of the town, came to
the other cops assistance. All were
then taken to the station-house,
where they were slated. The girls
were allowed to return with the
chauffeur to Mt. Arlington.
After being questioned by the police
Channels was taken to the county
jail. He was formerly employed in

ance office. He refused to say any,
thing concerning the charge made
against him.
Channels vas last employed as a
clerk in Irvington, from which town
he disappeared ten days ago. He was
an election officer of the First ward at

Men Are Going the Limit in.
Clothes This Year.
Continued from First Page,

tingent of her court. You may be only the brides brother, or even
the bridegroom, but you can't go around looking like a ragman in
this month of roses no matter how trivial the Importance of your
relationship may be.
Wherefore, most men having to have something new are
doubling the bet in sporting fashion and coming out new throughout.
1t is a season of male debuantes. Barring the sex handicap
of a low neck and a bit of lace, the young men are running an
equal race for attractiveness. Even older men are disporting them
selves with sartorial Hippancy, while gray hair is actually becoming
envable because it contrasts so we'll with the "natty blues"
Wherefore you will be a lonely man within unless you become
a new man throughout. Shoes and hosiery, shirts and collars and
ties are all a part of this seasons requisites.
That is why you will find this paper so filled with the adver.
Using of the things you are going to wear. And that is why you will
find this advertising so interesting.
Better turn to it now and follow it carefully until you are ready
to buy. The store that advertises is the safe place to go to. Better
not experiment this year.
Stye is a dangerous thing, and you are either going to come
out of some unknown store looking so shoddy that you can't hold
vour own wife, or out of some reliable store so attractive that
your own wife can't hold you.

Human Bones in
Insane Asylum

That bones of human bodies have
been found by the laborers employed
In tearing down the old Essex Coun-
ty Asylum for the Insane, in South
Orange avenue, was the startling
statement made by laborer employed
on the job today.
The statement Is verified by Sam
uel Rachlin. superintendent of the
Levenson Wrecking Company, which
is razing the old building for the
Berry Realty Corporation. who pur-
chased the property from the county.
ames A.. Berry, president of the
corporation, said that the finding of
the bones would be reported to the
proper authorities at the proper
time"
The first the superintendent of the
raZing gang knew of the fndinb of
bones was when he found n of the
laborers holding a jawbone in his
hands, picking the teeth out of it.
Rumors that more bones of what
were ono human beings may be
found in the real uildings that have
not yet been touched by the wreck
ers, are rife, but all thai could be
CLEANED from Rachlin today was that
there might be some developments on
Monday when the roof of the real
building is taken off.

r. r. ALLIES
PLAN FIGHT

A stupendous railroad deal promis-
ing improvements and facilities that
will be of incalculable interest to the
people of Newark is rumored in O.
contest between the Pennsylvania
railroad and its allies on the one
hand and the Jersey Central, Phila-
delphia and Reading. Baltimore and
Ohio and the Lehigh Valley on the
other.
Greater terminal facilities are de-
manded by the increased traffic to
New York, and it is intimated that
the four allied roads may erect a
$40, OO0,0 900 terminal station on the
Equitable site in the heart of down.
town Manhattan.
This vast undertaking would be
made all the more stupendous by the
construction of a tunnel beneath the
North river. The advantages from
such a modern Improvement would
bring inestimable benefit to this CITY
by reason of the improved t%ranspor-
tation facilities.
Although the officials, both of the
railroads and the Equitable property,
meet the matter with eVaS1Ve den1alS,
or noncommittal answers, 1t Is un-
derstood that great secrecy becomes
necessary owing to the fact that
knowledge of such a deal would in
crease the prices of adjacent prop
erty to prohibitive figures.
Extensive purchases of land IN
Communipaw along Phillips street
are taken as evidence of the inten-
ton of the four roads to invade New
York aha to bio against the Pennsyl-
vania for the Western and Southern
traffic.
The construction of an extensive
terminal in Jersey City and of a pas
senger terminal in Manhattan be-
comes obvious. 1t is determined by
this improvement to beat the Penn
.sylvania running time between New
York and Philadelphia by twenty
minutes.
Real estate men in Newark, Jersey
City and adjoining towns have given
such credence to the rumor that al
ready prices are soaring to unprece-
denied figures, as the new arrange
ment would open up an entirely new
committing territory.

ZIONITES LECTURE ON
PORK EATING EVIL TO
CHICAGO DELEGATES

CHICAGO, June 2~2.-Several women
who were followers of the late john
Alexander Dowie and who are now
under the leadership Of Wilbur Glenn
Voliva entertained the crowds outside
the Coliseum in lecturing against the
use of pork as food, while ham sand
witches were about all there was In
sight to eat.
The women declared they had no
interests regarding Taft. Roosevelt or
any other candidate, but they were
decidedly opposed to swine.
Every delegate and every visitor
leaving the convention hall heard the
pleadings of the women, but In many
cases they were at the time munching
the ham sandwiches.
Nicholas Murray Butler, president
of Columbia University, and who
framed the Taft platform, was seen
among those leaving the Coliseum
with a bunch of Zion City tracts in
one hand and a sandwich of ham in
the other.

IN CHICAGO
1tlon they're holding out there.

What is this convention they're holding out there,
A sort of a Sunday school picnic affair?
Where two naughty boys get together and make
A whole lot of fuss over one piece of cake?
eff you swipe it, Bill. I'll tell what you done.
And your folks1l lick yu, as sur as a gun"
Well. if l can't have 1t, you smarty" said Bill.
You shan't have it ether-Tm darned If You will"
What right "a yu got to tn cake, yu big bluff?
You gave it to me, and ain't that anuf?"
But my folks told me / could have It," said Ted,
And I'm goin' to get 1t or raise merry Ned"
You'll fight for that cake" Ted madly did blurt,
And started to roll up tn sleeves of his shirt:
"..Taint your cake no longer. and no matter what.
Ifyou want to fight, come out in tn lot"
Jaw, you can't bluff me" Bill sneeringly Kissed,
And he mopped off his face with his dirty fat fist;
Come on, if you're ready; I'm ready for you,"
And off to the big open lot went the two.
They slammed at and damned at each other at will;
They'd spar for a while, then sail in with their might;
A big crowd stood round and took in the fight
Lets stop EN-" cried some. but others said mo.
If they want to fight, that's all right, let EN- 60"
Sti1 others insisted it was a mistake
And that neither deserved to be given the cake.
Bill swung and he landed a Root on Teds jowl;
Ted gritted his teeth, then set up a howl;
They battered and banged each other about,
But while they were down in the pasture lot, there.
Each a-ambastin' tn other for fair,
A lad from a different Sunday school class
Saw the big crowd as he happened to pass.
"A-ha, it's a fight" remarked the young chap,
But he didn't care about seeing the scrap;
He grabbed something up and made a quick break.
