But still his faith was OF kind that

HOTEL WITH 1900 ROOMS
Proposed P. R. R. Structure To
Be 23 Stories High.

The hotel which the Pennsylvania Rail-
road is TO erect on Seventh avenue on
the block front between S2d and S3d
streets. recently acquired by the railroad
from Thomas Dimond, is 10 be twenty
three stories IN height and have fifteen
hundred rooms, according TO reports In
real estate circles yesterday. The story
that McKirn. Mead & White had virtually
completed plans for such a structure to
occupy the site was announced in The
Tribune recently.
It's general architectural arrangement
will conform with the big railroad station
opposite. Between the rear and the ad-
joining store there will be forty-foot
private street. This, besides allowing
more light and air to the hotel, will re-

TERRORlzEO EAST ORANGE
$4,000 Worth of Plumber Re-
covered in Lenox Avenue
place-Had Just Served
Seven Years.

Residents at Grove Street, East
Orange Brick Church and all the other
Orange stops have lived in terror OF
burglars for several months, and at
least forty house in those prosperous
towns have been robbed. The East
Orange police decided that the Jobs
were the work of one man.
Some ten days ago they learned mat
Christopher Chandler, negro VINO
had served seven years in the New Jer-
sey penitentiary for entering house at
Englewood, was in East Orange, and
they watched him. on Wednesday
Chandler was surprised while in the
home of X. ]. Little, at No. 20 Lenox
avenue, East orange. Some S2'oOo
worth of silver and cut glass had been
hacked up to be removed. No member
of the Little family was at home at the
time.
The East orange police say Chandier
confessed that he robbed at least forty
nleces after he was released from
prison last May, and in an automobile
trip about the town he pointed out
MANY places he had entered.
In the possession Of the negro the po-
lice found an address that brought
them TO New York, and yesterday
afternoon In a house in Lenox avenue
near 10th street, more than $4,000
worth Of silverware, jewelry and cut
glass was found. The New York police
consented to guard the place until to-
dev. when the New Jersey detectives
will come back with big van and re-
move the goods to East orange, so that
residents there may identify their
goods and get them back.
The New Jersey detectives say
Chandler told them he had done most
of his work in the summer time. when
houses were closed and families were
away at the seashore or in the noun
tsins. He never entered house, he
said unless he was sure that the fam
u,v was absent. That gave him plenty
of time &c pack what goods he wanted
and remove them. The negro est-
mated that he had taken at least S4O,-
coo worth of loot,
The New Jersey authorities hope to
learn where Chandler took the valu-
ables that have not been recovered.

ASSETS ROSE IN PURCHASE
Government Brings Out In
creases in Sugar Properties

The governments chief effort at the
hearing yesterday in the suit for the dis
solution of the Sugar Trust was directed
toward the establishment of the assets
Of the various constituent companies be-
fore they were absorbed by the comblna-
ton.
James r. Knapp, Assistant United
States Attorney, indicated by his cues
lions that the government expected to
show how great a difference there existed
between the real assets OF sugar COM
panies and the amount of the stock fioated
just prior TO the absorption of any of the
present subsidiaries Of the trust He said
some of the companies issued considerable
amounts Of stock as soon as It became ap-
parent that the combination would be eff
fected. and the imitation was made In ex-
pectation OF the larger returns to be as
sured through elimination of competition.
Amid objection Of counsel for the sugar
company Mr.. Knapp questioned George r.
Bunker, who had been treasurer of the
old National Sugar Refining Company.
about the capitalization and the assets of
this concern. which was absorbed by the
trust in 1900.
The value of this company's plant, in
GLIDING buildings, real estate and machin-
cry, Mr.. Bunker set at 81 .240.OOO The Wit
ness said he was present at the meeting
of the board of directors or the National
Sugar Refining Company In June, 1900,
when preferred stock to the amount of
q. $4,000 and common stock amounting TO
100000 was issued and turned over to
James II. Post in exchange for the con-
troll Of the old National, the Mollenhauer
and Doscher companies.
Mr. Bunker explained that the good will
and trade relations OF the company repre-
scented a considerable value.

Hero Enters the Dentist.

Dr. Powell proved TO be more than a
dentist. He proved TO be dear friend as
well. Despite his skill, Mrs. Dawsing' $
teeth presented a battling problem. She
had three false teeth. set on pivots. and
they had most battling way of coming
loose. despite the most modern means he
employed TO make them stick, so that he
had 70 spend many hours In the DawsIng
home. laboring over Mrs, Dawsing s
teeth So II befell that friendship ripened
fast, and Mr.. Dawsing grew more than
little fond Of him.
lie finally grew so completely fond OF
him that he took him to hts heart and
confidence i'm way that babe fair TO
make DR. Powelrs fees look scarcely
worth making out a bill for. Their great
friendship had developed the surprising
coincidence that they both yearned for

tifully, without toiling for II. So well
did Mr.. Dawsing like Or. Powell that he
was willing TO go to the full length Of
revealing 10 him how this dream could
be attained. II was new plan for play

Then he went on to. explain that he had

Dawsing, consented to share the secret.
This friend was Kirby Cleveland Sudbury.

lucky ones were placing their bets. But

These two lucky ones were then to rush
TO the "poolroom" and bet all they had
on the winner. The only thing after that
was TO collect their money.
So Il was arranged. Powell and Sudbury
stood by the telephone In the Endicott.

later the returns came over the poolroom

Flying Fairy" had come in second.
What an Absurd Mistake!
