ROCHEFORT LOSES
FREEDOM FIGHT
Police Ready to Rearrest Him
Had His Lawyer Won Habeas
Corpus Plea.

]. Victor D'Aloia, counsel for
Charles w. Rochefort, who was
locked up in the county Jail as a ma
terial witness in the Policeman Nc
Govern murder case. Immediately
upon his acquittal last Friday on a
charge of attempting to poison his
wife Catherine, failed today to Sc
cure the release of his client on writ
of habeas corpus.
Mr.. D'Aloia contended that the
complaint upon which Rochefort is
being detained does not state by what
evidence or upon what information
his client is held in Jail.
Assistant Prosecutor Lehlbach
stated that this information was not
necessary, and Judge Osborne, before
whom D'Aloia was pleading. agreed
with him. Later, however, Lehlbach
was sworn as a witness and declared
that Rochefort was being held on his
statement that he had heard Saliva
tore Laponi, one of the suspected
murderers of Patrolman McGovern,
confess that he had fired the shots
which killed the officer.
Called "Habitual Criminal"
Rochefort's freedom was then de-
MED him.
Had he been released Rochefort
would have been Immediately rear
rested on a warrant issued by Judge
Herr in the Fourth Precinct Court
charging him with being an habitual
criminal.
This warrant was secured by Prose-
cutor's Detective Slutzky following
the Indictment of Rochefort by the
grand jury in New York on Tuesday
for bigamy.
Plainclothesmen Kaas and Cort, of
the Fourth precinct, were at the
Court House ready to serve this war
rant, but it was unnecessary.
Rochefort will probably remain at
the county jail until the trial of the
three alleged slayers of McGovern.

HEARING IS GIVEN
ON TAX APPEALS
Board Trying to Secure VaIua-

The motion court room at the
Court House today resembled a meet

twenty-eight properties in question
are assessed too low on land valua-

The present complaints grow out
of testimony given in the hearing of

logical Moment.

Grating of snow shovels on the
sidewalks these days sounds like the
ouzz-saw getting ready the plank
which most of the employees of the
Board of Works expect to walk.
With the reorganization of the
board next week. under the first
Democratic regime in fifteen years. a
policy of retrenchment will be put
into effect. 1t is understood that
many of the jobs will be declared
vacant and appointments made in
some cases where the present holders
are believed incompetent.
While the Democratic members.
both elect and holdovers, have
caucused, they are not telling their

in the way of rumors. but the COM

such questions as to whether Tom
Boyle or DR.. Dimond will get the
place of superintendent of Works

seem to realize that Mr.. Shipman will

Up by Strikers

The Newark branch of the Mer-
chants Express Company, of New
York, is tied up today as result of
a walk-out by the drivers and helpers
upon the company's refusal to grant
an increase of wages.
The striking men demanded that
they be granted the universal pay for
such laborers, which is SIT week
for drivers and SO week for help
ers. an increase from SIS and sS a
week, respectively, which is now
being paid.
The sixteen drivers and their help
ers reported at the company's stable.

o'clock this morning, and when their
demands for an increase were denied

TIP AND RULE 3 IN
Y. M. c. A. DRAMA
Neglect to Peruse Regulation
as to Who's Boss of Quarters
Causes Surprise.

Tips are quite the proper thing at
the local Y. M. C. A.
Secretary Cozzens thinks SO, and
what Secretary Cozzens says goes.
Most assuredly it goes.
Two of the dormitory men, how
ever, couldn't see the point of "sug-
gested" Christmas tipping. They re-
belled. Didn't Secretary Cozzens
think they knew how to do their own
tipping?
But there is a joker in the Y. M.
c. A. regulations called rule g." and
the two luckless ones made a sad
mistake when they overlooked it..
"Rule g. was destined to be their un-
doing.
This is how the mandate read:
Dear Sir-Please vacate your
room on or before January 2,
1918, according to rule 8. Yours

The letter was dated December 26
Rule says that the association re-
serves the right to declare any room
vacant at any time.
Secretary CoZzens called a meeting
of the dormitory men before Christ
mas and told them that a fund for
tipping the elevator men, postman
and matron might as well be collect
ed. He named Herbert King, cashier
of the association. as custodian, and
appointed committee whose names
appeared on the official letter pre-
pared by the Office stenographer and
sent to the 140 dodgers.
This action caused some criticism
and rival fund was collected by the
men themselves.
Secretary Cozzens denied that it
was the tipping that caused the dis
missal of the two men. but he refused
to say what was the real reason.

CLASS
FOR PRINCETON
University Will Open With
Greatest Number of Fresh-
men in Its History.

PRINCETON, Sept. 1S.-The largest
entering class in the history of Princes
ton University will m%atriculate here
when the college term begins with
opening exercises in Alexander Hall.
The class at present numbers 425. IT
is estimated that nearly one hundred
more will join the ranks of the fresh
men before Thursday, including those
who did not gain admission in June,
but who have since passed the re-
Quired examinations. =
Princeton will not be able TO house
In dormitories all of the 1916 men,.
With the completion of the new
"dorms' the university will be able
to take care of an entering class of
those proportions. 1t will then be
possible for the authorities to adopt
q rule prohibiting undergraduates w.
ing "off campus a law obtaining in
several of the larger Eastern uni
versities.
Cuyler Hall, the dormitory toward
the eastern end of the campus, is now
nearly completed. When finished, 1t
will accommodate sixty-seven men. In
double and single suites of rooms.
The new building is constructed of
the local field stone, after the style
of architecture recently adopted by
the trustees of the university. 1t is
connected to the eastern end of Pat
ton, which, on account of its rural
location, is facetiously termed the
Country Club of the college.
The cloisters of Holder Hall, the
dormitory donated by Mrs. Russell
Sage, are nearing completion. On ac-
count of delays in receiving the stone
supply necessary for the trimming OF
the building, the work has not pro-
crossed as rapidly as was counted
upon. The structure. it is thought,
will be finished before the end of the
first college term. Work will then be
started upon the new dining halls.
The old university hall, now the coll
tlege commons, will be torn down. The
building, before it was taken over by
the university, was a hotel.
The scene of one of Princeton's
traditional rushes is to be changed
this fall. The Dickinson Hall rush,
otherwise termed the Freshman Elec-
tion rush, will take place in front of
the gymnasium. When this news
spread around the campus much
sympathy was beard on all sides for
the present Sophomore class. la
years gone by the "Sophs" have al
ways gotten the best of this rush and
this year the faculty seems to have
rubbed 1t in a little too much. Be-
sides outnumbering the upper class
by more than 200, the Fresh" viii
be hugely benefited by the new rule.
Last year their approach to the steps
of Dickinson was disadvantageous,
for the simple reason that the library
was right across the drive from the
building. Also there was a flight OF
half a dozen steps to mount before
they gained the entry, a safe haven.
This year the clear, sloping lawn
sweeps down toward the gym
where there are but two meagrs
steps to climb.

The mistake many people
have made is in coming to the
Damberger store for whatever
is needed and going out i'm
mediately. The only way to
do justice to this sale and your
self is to come here and spend
an entire day. Come early in
the morning, have lunch with
us, and stay as late as you can
in the afternoon. Go from one
floor to the other, and from this
department to that. See every
thing that is to be seen. Elk
anime the different offerings
and compare prices. those
who have shopped in this way
have won their reward in
money saving. Come TO the
Bamberger store as early as you
can Thursday morning and
stay as late as we will permit
you to. 1t will pay!
