Opera House Will be Packed for
Benefit Performance.
One of the Finest Plays Ever i'm De.
corah to be Seen by Largest
House of the Season.

lMere is no doubt that the Grand
opera house will be we'll filled to-
morrow night, when Miss Sarah Pad
den will appear in the magnificent
production "Kindling' in a benefit
performance for the theatre.
Large expenditures have been
made in remodelling and refitting
the theatre throughout during the
closed season, and in the hope that
these might be partly met by bene-
mt performance. the managers have
engaged Miss Padden and her superb
company of artists to appear here in
"Kindling," one of the most beauti-
full plays now upon the American
stage. The proceeds will be used to
partly defray the cost of the improve
ments made to the theatre. While
there will be big house, yet it is
anticipated that there will be plen-
ty of seats for everyone. However,
do not delay getting your seats un-
til the last moment, for they are 60
ing fast.
Regarding Miss Padden in "Kind-
ling" The Peoria, Illinois, Daily Jour-
nal says:
Whatever Sarah Pad d e s
triumphs have been in the Third De-
gree and other dramatic successes,
she more clearly demonstrates her
ability in dramatic roles in Kind
ling" which opened at the Majestic
last night for three performances.
With the gripping interest through
out the intense moments and perfect
climax enacted by Miss Padden, the
good sized first night audience sat
spellbound enjoying the first dramat-
ic treat of the year,
, Dealing with one of the most vi
tai human interest stories which has
been produced in years, that of the
terrible life forced upon occupants
of the tenements in great metrCp-
oils, Kindling engages the deep in
terest of the average theatre-goer
more firmly than the ordinary drama.
1t Is story that brings the heart
throb and especially with the superb
acting by Miss Padden in the role of
Maggie Schultz, the fearful wife Of
stevedore, whose home is in the worst
apartment of tenement.
Each of the characters in the cast
is ably taken. Heinrich Schultz, the
husband, is portrayed in clever work
by Willard Bowman, while Lou Rip
ley, as the inimitable Mrs. Bates with
her homely philosophy and wit, in
jects clever comedy in the somewhat
fearful piece.
Naturally, much attention of the
audience was attracted to the charms
of Miss Alice Ringing, daughter of
one of the circus kings, who in the
part of social tenement worker,
was clever. What Miss Ringing may
lack in real absolute talent, she more
than makes up in her personal charm
that more than captivated last nights
audience.
Kindling will be at the Majestic
the last time today, both matinee and
night. Anyone who loves a human
interest drama, filled brimful with
truisms in everyday life, should not
fail to see this gripping piece"

~inaugurated several months ago by
the Ladies' Aid Society of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church of West Or
ange, known as a living calendar"
Mrs. o. F. Dunlap, president of the
society, selected a person to represent
the year, who donated So. This per-
son secured twelve persons who rep
resented the months. They in turn
secured a given number who repre-
scented the weeks, and they found
others who contributed as days. With
the completion of the year in this
way $125 has been raised. The money
will be turned in at a meeting to be
held on September 10 at the home of
Mrs. Charles o. Hamilton, 33S Valley
road, West Orange. Those who col
lected as months of the year, beside
Mrs. Dunlap, were Mrs. N. j. Thomp-

REBELS PREPARE
FOR LONG MARCH
Conditions on Arizona Border
Causing Uncle Sam No
Little Uneasiness.

WASHINGTON. Sept. t0.-More dis
quieting reports of the situation on
the Arizona border continued today
to reach the war department. Mex
lean rebels were said to be gathering
in the vicinity of Cananea preparing
for a long and forced march. Forces
and supplies were being concentrated.
Although every effort is being made
to learn the objective point of the
most formidable expedition since
OroZco's force was scattered, no sat-
isfactory explanation has been found.
Scouts report a force of close to 400
well-armed rebels opposite Quitman,
Texas. while 1,500 more are reported
encamped ten miles to the e a Cen
eral Salazar still remains at Gaba-
lones and is being closely watched by
the American patrol to prevent
threatened raids.
The situation at Ojinaga, where
there are several Americans, is caus-
ing this government some uneasiness.
Instead of a strong Federal garrison,
as reported, 1t has been learned that
the Federal commander has only 200
men. The rbels are gathering in in
creasing numbers in the vicinity.

TO CURE CRIME !
WITH MEDICINE
Penal Institutions Plan to Re.
move faint from Criminals
While lncarcerated.

MATTEAWAN, N. Y, Sept. 10.-A
meeting of the State prison wardens,
called here today for the purpose of
considering medical treatment for
prisoners as soon as they are received.
may result in sweeping penal reforms
if the wardens act favorably or the
medical testimony to be presented.
1t is the first official step taken In
this State along the lines proposed by
the American Prison Reform Associa-
ton at it's meeting in Omaha.
The proposed reforms are based
upon observations of criminals in dif.
ferent penal institutions of the u
try, by which 1t is shown that most
crimes committed are the direct result
of inconsistency arising from physi-
cal as well as mental defects in the
criminal. The remedy. to consider
which this meeting Is called, is the
medical inspection of all prisoners
and the correcting of all such crime
inducing ailments while the subjects
are serving terms. so that, on being
set at liberty, the causes of GRIM
inality will no longer be present to
lead to a recurrence.
This was the plan adopted by the
American Prison Reform Association,
and upon which some of the Middle
Western States already have acted.

RECALL HORROR
"A YEARS AGO
Two Survivors of Shipwreck
Hold Annual Meeting and
Talk of DeIiverance.

ST. JOSEPH, Mich, Sept. 10.-TwD
survivors of a lake tragedy Of nearly
half a century ago met on the lake
bluff yesterday and recalled the night
and incidents of the sinking of the
steamer Hippopotamus, September 3,
1868. Sunday was the forty-fourth
anniversary of the laundering of the
boat, and the two of the thirteen
who reached land had their annual
reunion.
For forty-four years the survivors
have been meeting. Each year
brought decreases. Last September
four were living. Yesterday only two
were present, the other two having
been taken by death.
The two survivors are Captain
Charles Morrison, of this city, and
Cyrus Rittenhouse, of Benton Har-
Dor.
The Hippopotamus sailed from st.
Joseph the night of September Z,
1868. Half way across the lake a
squat struck the boat. Heavily
loaded with fruit the cargo suddenly
shifted and the boat turned over.
Twenty-eight went to their death.
Fourteen managed to get On the up
per cabin and floated for two days
before being picked up.
One of the fourteen died from ex-
posure.

AZ CONGRESSMAN
TO HAVE PERCHES
Chairs Without Desks Ali Pres
emit Rooms Size Admits for
New Members.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1~0.-Superin-
tendent Elliott Woods, of the United
States Capitol building, after an ex-
animation of the floor of the House
of Representatives, has found it prac-
tically impossible to make desk room
for the forty-two new members to
be added to the House by the APP
preaching general elections.
1t is probable that the new mem
bers, or at least some of them, will
occupy chairs or stools. Provision
has been made for the Encouragement
of the House chamber, but Superin-
tendent Woods will be unable to make
permanent changes before the De-
cember session.
The new Congress will come into
office March 4 with the prospect of an
extra session next summer. If no
extra session is held the House cham
Der will be rebuilt before the fall ses-
sion.

WOMAN'S OPENWORK
BLOUSE STOPS SERVICE
Cardinal Asks Wearer to Leave.
Compromise on Scarf.

ROME, Sept. 10.-The cardinal
patriarch of Venice. who recently
openly denounced the prevailing i'm
modest female fashions, especially
tight skirts and transparent blouses.
and threatened to expel from church
all immodestly dressed m while
administering confirmation in ST.
Marks, noticed a fashionably dressed
woman among the congregation
wearing an openwork blouse.
The cardinal interrupted the serv,
ice and sent a prelate to warn the
that he would not continue
unless she left the church. TIL.
expostulated and pointed out
that there were several paintings In
the church representing scantily
dressed angels and martyrs. The
prelate told her to cover the trans
parency with a scarf. This she un-
willingly did and the service was re-
sumed.

BLAME IS FIXED
BY GRAFT PROBERS
County Engineer Named in
Bergen County Court House
Investigation.

HACKENSACK, Sept. a0.-The Ber-
gen county grand jury which investi-
gated the charges of graft in connec-
ton with the erection of the new
Court House made it's report to JUS
ticc Parker. 1t was read by Colonel
Alfred I. Holley, foreman of the jury.
The jury reached this conclusion:
From the evidence produced and
from tho testimony of witnesses we
submit that in our unanimous opinion
Ralph d. Earle, jr., the county engi-
reer, and ]. Kelley Gordon, the ar
chitect, of New York, compared the
bids on the Court House improperly
and to the end that the John r.
Brady Company, not the lowest bid
der, should receive an award OF the
contract"
Considerable space was devoted to
h substitution of concrete for the
wooden piling, showing a loss to the
county Of SOS, 40. Continuing the re-
port says:
"A conscientious reflection upon all
the evidence compels us tt believe
that the Court House commissioners
acted honorably, M with the full
purpose of serving the county faith
fully and well, but we do criticise
tho commissioners, however, for SOM
of the loose methods they employed.
AS a particularly glazing offense
we cite the engagement of Ralph D.
Earle, jr., as clerk of the works at
a compensation of l per cent of the
contract price, while Mr.. Earle was
otherwise engaged as engineer of the
county of Bergen"

MAY ESTABLISH
OPENA|R CLASS
Medical inspectors Make Rec
concentration to Board of
Education.

Establishment of an op%en-air class
for sick and delicate children in East
Orange will probably follow recon-
m%endations by medical inspectors of
the schools and parents of weakling
children.
Mrs. M. r.. Johnson, of 122 North
Seventeenth street, in a letter to the
board last night asked If there a
such a class in the city, as h Is
the mother of a delicate child, whom
she does not believe can attend school
without injuring her health.
Commits. Toner Titus said that a
number of the medical inspectors of
the city favor an open-air class, and.
If conditions warrant it, their reeotn-
mendations will be c%oncurred in.
There has been an exceptionally
large increase In the enrolment of
pupils In the schools of the city this
year, Superintendent Vernon l..
Davey reported last night. Three
special classes for retarded children
were opened yesterday, with approxi7
mately forty pupils, n a larger
number of names will be added
shortly. Six pupils of the Franklin
School have been placed in a special
class in the Eastern School, and 1t
will be necessary for them to go "A
long distance to attend sessions. Mr..
Davey said the parents of several OF
the children have entered objections
to the demand of the school author
tiles to place the children in the East
ern School.
1t was suggested that the board pay
the car fare of the children, and Mr..
Davey was instructed to use his
Judgment in this matter. Comparing
the total enrolment of pupils that
attended the opening of the schools
yesterday with h figures of a year
ago there was IN increase In number
of 264 or 51a per cent.
Their are 5,046 pupils now attend
ing the schools. Last years number
was 4,7s2. A casual examination of
the attendance at all the schools
shows that the Nassau School lost
twenty pupils n the Elmwood and
Washington schools have between
them gained seventy-five.
Due to the repairs being made to
the Elmwood School 1t is impossible
to use two rooms on the second
floor, and the difficulty has been
overcome by transferring one ELM
wood class to q vacant room in the
Washington School and placing the
special class of the Elmwood School
In the Nassau School.

Solve Mystery of Black
Hand.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-A bullet
hole in his left breast, Russo Seccro
was found hiding in some bushes
near the laborer's "Ducky Farm on
John d. Rockefeller's estate at larry
town. There is little doubt that he
was shot by a guard when he tried
to get into superintendent Briggs's
house Saturday night.
Sheriff Doyle and the Burns men
hope to get valuable information
from Seccro. Sheriff Doyle has or
dered his men to surround "Ducky
Farm" and an armed guard is kept
in Seccro's room.
Payday on the Rockefeller estate
passed quietly, and the regular
scheme of hanging out a flag as a
signal for the men to come and get
their pay envelopes was abandoned
word was passed from man to man.
The men also were allowed to go
home at 3 p. m, and were accom-
panied to their boarding places and
homes by armed guards.

WOMAN ATTACKS
MTTS0N ESTATE
Wife of Gas Magnate Declares
She Is Daughter of Late
Millionaire.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Before
Adam Weiner, as referee, Mrs. Isa-
bella Brown, wife of Ernest c.
Brown, gas magnate and publisher of
the Progressive Age, at $50 Broad
way. has made the unqualified state
ment thai she is the daughter of the
late Commodore Norman w. Kittson,
Northwestern pioneer, who died In
1888, leaving an estate of $4,000, 900.
Mrs. Browns supposed sister and
niece, Mrs. Mary c. Lee, and Mrs.
Maude Richmond Vale deny her
claims, as does the commodore's son,
Norman w. Kittson, of st. Paul.
Woman Accuses Her.
Mrs. Browns claim becomes known
through a habeas corpus proceeding
brought against her by Mrs. Lee, who
demands that Mrs. Brown produce
Mrs. Mary Cauldfeld, supposed to be
the mother of both women. Mrs.
Lee says Mrs. Cauldfield Is the owner
of valuable property which Mrs.
Brown is trying to get.
That Mrs. Cauldfeld is not her
mother was Mrs. Browns reply. By
advice of her counsel, w. T. Jerome,
however, she refuses to say who her
mother was.
Mrs. Cauldfield," testified Mrs.
Brown, was housekeeper for my
father, Norman w. Kittson, and lived
with us at 20 East Seventy-seventh
street. She was not related to me.
I saw her last when I stopped off
to see her at Fredericton, New
Brunswick. She was then living on
a farm In Maine. 1 haven't heard
from her since"
Calls 1t ~BlackuhaiI.
Mrs. Lee declares she has not seer
Mrs. C~auldfield since 1886. Mrs.
Brown refused so often to answer
questions that Mrs. Lees counsel,
Francis Knowles, announced that he
would ask the Supreme Court to
compel her to reply. Jerome calls
the proceedings blackmail. The case
is now held up until the court re-
views the propriety of the questions
which Mrs. Brown declined to answer.

FINDS TRIBE LOST
SINCE A. D.. 1000
American Arctic Explorer Dis
covers Stone-Age-Like De-
scendants of Lief Erickson.

SEATTLE, Sept. 10.-Ranking next
In Importance from an chronological
standpoint to the discovery of the lost
tribes of Israel is the discovery made
by Professor Vilhjalmar Stefansson
of the American Museum of Natural
History, of the lost tribe of 1000
white people.
They are believed to be direct
descendants from the followers of
Lief Erickson, who came to Green
land from Iceland about the year
1000, and a few years later discov-
cred the north coast of America.
These people are living on Victoria
Island, 80 degrees east of the mouth
of the Mackenzie river and more
than 1000 miles by the coast line and
are still in the stone age.
Their Progress Has Been Retrograde.
While the civilization of nearly
900 years has passed they have gone
backward.
Professor Stefansson, who left New
York city in 1908 on his trip, has just
arrived in Seattle.
The tribe of white people, which
Stefansson declares are purely of
Norwegian origin, never had seen
other persons of their own color.
Their number is about 1000, and
nor than half of them have rusty
red hair, blue eyes. fair skins and
tow-colored eyebrows and boards.
1t was for these people tina Ronald
Amundsen, d~iscoverer of the South
pole, searched while making his cele-
brated trip through the Northwest
passage.
Conditions Have Been Most Primitive.
The conditions under which they
live are the most primitive. No vege-
tation except mos and a few stunted
willows grow in their habitation.
They are meat and fish eaters, pure
and simple. The islands abound with
caribou and the sea with seal.
They use bows made of willow
sticks, bound together with sinew.
and their arrows are tipped with
flint and native copper, which Is pried
out of lodges or found in stream beds
on the main land. Their knives also
are made of copper. with horn handles
and made in much the same manner
as these implements were made by
the early Norsemen who inhabited
Greenland.

IF BOOSTERS CAN'T CROW
NEITHER CAN DOGS BARK
This, at Least, Is How East Or
angeites Feel.

Howling in the five hospitals for
dogs in East Orange at night has so
disturbed the rest of persons living
near them that complaints poured
in yesterday on Mayor Gregory and
Secretary Bowman, of the Board of
Health. Today there was a confer
ence on the subject with these Of
ficials and City Counsel Whiting, and
as a result an ordinance will be pre-
sented TO the board to regulate the
nuisance.
Dogs are brought to the hospitals
in large numbers, Mr.. Bowman states,
and the residents have had painful
experiences as a result. The board
once received many complaints about
chickens Growing at night and early
morning, and several years ago sought
to prevent it by passing an ordinance
against the growing. 1t is promised
that proper legislation will be taken
against the barking dogs.
