CAPTAIN RYAN POSTS
MEN AT NICKEL SHOWS
Mayor and Other Prominent
Men Deprecate Display of
Appalling Disaster.

Narrowing moving pictures and
stereopticon views purporting to show
the Titanic disaster will not be per-
rflitted in Newark, Mayor Haussling
asserted today.
His attention was called to the adver-
tised exhibitions of alleged Titanic pic
lures in several Market street nickel
dromes by The Evening Star, whose
recent crusade against moving picture
evils brought about many reforms.
"I had not been told of these pic
tures'' he said, "but certainly shall
call the attention of the license COM
mittee to it. If the pictures are objec-
tionable they will be stopped"
Frank Diener. chairman Of the
license committee of the Common
Council, said that he had not been
told that there were any exhibits of the
Titanic disaster in local moving-pic-
ture theatres. He added that he fdid
not know exactly what authority, if
any, he had to stop them. The license
committee, which will hold its regular
meeting next Wednesday night, passes
on all advertising bill posters Several
times it has rejected posters. and it is
believed that it may be able to pre-
vent Objectionable pictures being
shown.
When asked wnat steps he would
take Captain Ryan. of the First pre-
cinct, said: II will nave my men watch
them and suppress them il they are
at all Objectionable.
"Some alleged Titanic pictures were
shown at a Washington street house.
added the captain, "but they were so
absurdIy crude that I didn't see how.
the mana cement could very well con-
tinue them
Rev. Dr. w. J. Dawson voiced the
sentiment of many clergymen and other
Newarkers when he asserted that the
brutal sensationality ought to be
stopped by the authorities Immediate
ly.'
The fiaring posters used to advertise
the pictures show scenes of horror
Rabbi Charles l. Hoffman, of the
Congregation Ofeb Shalonl, said:
"If the pictures are horrible, exag-
gerated and improper I believe they
should not be allowed to be exhibited"
II am opposed to any pictures that
would arouse in man passion that
gives wrong impression of life" said
Rabbi Solomon Foster. of the Congre-
CATION B'Nai Jeshurun. "They should
not be tolerated"

DECIDE IN
PRU'S FAVOR

TRENTON, April 26.--The Court OF
Errors and Appeals in an opinion hand
ed down today and written by Justice
Kafisch decides against Leon F.
Blanchard and other stockholders of
the Prudential Insurance Company,
who sought to have distributed to
themselves and other stockholders Of
the company pro rata by way of divi-
profit of the company.
The opinion reverses a decision OF
Vice-Chancellor Howell which provid-
ed for the distribution pro rata among
the stockholders of S2500,000 of the
company's surplus. and also directed
the payment to the complainants of the
costs and $4,000 for counsel fees. The
vice-chancellor's opinion is reversed
In toto.
The Court of Errors and Appeals. in
its opinion today, holds that the ques-
ton of tho distribution of the COM
pany's surplus or its retention for the
uses of the company is a matter en-
tirely for the judgment of the directors
of the company, where that Judgment
has been honestly exercised.
The court says that 1t was not con-
tended by the complainant that the
directors had acted fraudulently or in
bad faith. and the opinion of Justice
Kaiisch, speaking for the court, makes
the comment that "1t seems to us that
the directors. in order to protect the
policy holders, have exercised no more
than that degree of wisdom, caution
and foresight which was incumbent
upon them in dealing with fund in
which thousands of poor people and
ested."

Man in ManhOle,
Horse There Too

Careless driving in turning from
Branford into Treat place nearly
eliminated in serious accident shortly
after noon today, when one of team
of horses was precipitated into an
open manhole holding Joseph Bellew,
of 240 South Orange avenue, lfneman
for the telephone company. prisoner
for nearly fifteen minutes. Bellew was
at work on some cables in the manhole
when the accident occurred and his
escape from serious injury is considered
miraculous The horse, which was
dragged to the surface with the aid of
a small derrick. was likewise none the
worse for his experience.
Though the manhole was uncovered.
there was a small railing around it to
prevent just such an accident. Daniel
Dougherty, a driver for the Peoples
Newark and New York Express Com
pany, failed to notice the warning and
attempted to make a sharp turn into
Treat place. Linemen who were work
ing on the ground a short distance
away, cried a warning too late, one of
the horses having already stepped into
the opening. 1t was thought at first
that Bellew would be crushed under
the animals weight, but he quickly
dispelled all fear by directing his own
rescue. He managed to squeeze to the
side of the cables and in this manner
kept away from the kicking hoofs.
A crowd quickly gathered and many
insisted that the animal should be
killed. This the driver refused to per-
nit, and a small derrick was secured
from one of the business places along
Treat place, and with the aid of this
the horse was pulled to terra firma.

. .arrant Issued
by Mrs. Haberle

: A warrant was issued today in the
East Orange Police Court for the ar
rest of Assistant Postmaster Charles
w. Haberle, of that city, by Recorder
Mott, on the complaint of Mrs. Haberle.
She charges that her husband is guilty
OF desertion in leaving her and their
four children Saturday. April 6, when
he started presumably for New York to
keep a business appointment at the
Kniekerboeker Hotel.
Chief O'Neill asked Mrs. Haberle to
call at the court in order today that he
might better extend the police search
for the missing official, and she readily
agreed to make the complaint against
her husband.
1t Is understood that an effort will
be made by the United States postal
authorities to locate Charles w. Ha-
berle, the assistant postmaster of East
Orange. who disappeared from his
home several weeks ago, leaving wife
and four children and a shortage in
his accounts. which, it is alleged.
amounts to between 5000 and $4,000.
Postal inspectors John V. Holtby and
Frank A. Butler, who have been In
vestigating the books, say that they
have examined them for only seven
months back, but intend to cover a
period of at least a year and half.
Haberle's bonds, which the inspectors
think is about $4,000 in a surety com
pany. 1t is believed by the inspectors,
will cover the alleged shortage.
Manipulation OF the balances was
said by Inspector Holtby to have been
the method used by Haherle. After
submitting the semi-monthly state
ments of money order accounts to
Postmaster Mitchell he would conceal
them and make out new statements,
which he would sign with the post
masters name per Haberle, and
send them to Washington, the inspector
said. In that way he would be able to
hold back part of the funds without
the discrepancies being discovered for
several months.
Circulars from Washington calling
attention to errors were often opened
by Haberle in his routine work. so
that the postmaster was in ignorance
of them The postal savings and office
stamp accounts are correct.
