I'll RETURN
MRS. GRACE

PHILADELPHIA, March 21.-Mrs.
Daisy Ulrich Opie Grace, accused OF
shooting her husband in Atlanta, ar
rived here today from the South to look
after private business affairs and TO
visit her mother. who is i'll at her home
in West Philadelphia.
''I am innocent" declared the woman
when asked about the shooting. Il, did
not shoot my husband and l am anx-
ious and ready to face trial. 1t is ab-
solutely false that I have left Atlanta
not to return. I am certain Of vindi-
cation at the trial. where the true facts
in the case will become known"
Mrs. Grace said she did not think her
husband was dying and added that If
he were to take a turn for the worse
he would exonerate her.
'1 am still devoted to him" she
said. "If it is true he is saying the
things he is reported to have said he
is being prejudiced by his relatives"

ALIENS POST
WAR NOTICE

HILLSVILLE, Va, March 21.-Sidna
Allen and his gang today apparently
are no nearer capture than they were
week ago, when they rode back to
the mountains after the tragedy that
blotted out the Circuit Court of Carroll
county. Nearly every clus run down by
searching detectives and possemen has
proved to be false one. Posses have
surrounded three different mountain
strongholds, in which the Aliens
were believed to have been run to
cover, only to find upon closing in that
the outlaws either had escaPed OF had
not been cornered at all. :,
The town is excited ovek report
that a party of the Aliens or their
sympathizers rode to a point within
three miles of Hillsville last night and
placed a notice of their own beside the
governors posted proclamation, offer
ing rewards for the wanted clansmen,
dead or alive. This is the notice said
to have been posted:
ITO Those Who Have Made 1t Their
Concern:
I'VE have plenty of arms and bullets.
We know how to use them. These hills
are an unhealthy place for stangers to
visit Remember this. You can get us
in the end, maybe but we will get you
first"

SCORES GIRL
AS PERJURER

With assertions that perjury has
palpably figured in the suit, Vice
Chancellor Stevens today granted a
decree annuling the marriage of Annie
McCrea Oertley. of Orange, to Albert
H. Oertley, of this city. Vice Chan
cellor Stevens granted the annulment
on the grounds Of fraud and duress.
Oertley was given an opportunity to
choose between jail and marriage in
April, 1910. He married Miss Annie
McCrea, his accuser, and escaped Jail.
They lived together one day. Later
Oertley brought suit for divorce
through his counsel, Harry Kalisch.
On the stand in her defense Mrs.
Oertley made conflicting statements
and in his opinion today the vice-ehan-
cellor stated that the girl had commit
ted the most "illustrious' example of
perjury that he had ever witnessed.
Francis Child. jr.. who represented
Mrs. Oertley, was commended by the
chancellor for the zeal with which
he had conducted "such a difficult
case" Mr.. Child asked for $50 counsel
fee and the vice-chancellor made 1t
s35, making $50 in all, as he had been
given s15 by a previous order of the
court.

NUTLEY WOMAN DEMANDS
ACCOUNTING ON STOCK
Claims She Has Had No Returns
on Investments Since
1896.

Waiting passively for many years for
some return on 150 shares of stock in
the Blackmore Heating Company, in
which three of the Blackmore brothers
were interested, the first guns are about
to be fired in family battle that prom
ises to be a legal struggle of interesting
proportions.
On petition made by Mrs. Mary E.
Blackmore, wife of Lawrence r. Black
more, of 371 Franklin avenue, Nutley.
president of the Newark Leather In
tersoling Manufacturing Company, u
Union street, McCarter & English. at
torneys, secured a rule to show caus
why an accounting should not be made
by the Blackmore Heating Company.
Joseph ]. Blackmore, of New York.
and George c. Blaekmore, of Detroit.
who are brothers of Lawrence r.
Blackmore, are made defendants in
the suit
Some time ago the Blackmore Heat
ing Company, doing business in this
city, signed over certain patents to the
United States Radiator Corporation, of
West Newton, Pa, of which Joseph j.
and George c. Blackmore were officers.
No Dividends in sixteen Years.
About $4,000 worth of stock for pat
ents was issued to ]. J. Blackmore.
1t is declared by Mrs. l.. r. Black
more that the Blackmore Heating Com
pany has declared no dividends since
1885, and she asks for an accounting
to ascertain what became of the stock
in the Blackmore Heating Company.
which was transferred to her by her
husband and which was swallowed up
in the merger with several other COM
panies which became known as the
United States Radiator and Boiler
Company. This organization, it is as
serted, was formed with a capital stock
of $4,000, 900.
In 1908 by order of the Governor the
Blackmore Heating Company's charter
was repealed for default in the pay
ment of the State franchise tax, but
the company had ceased to maintain
its individuality.
The Blackmore Heating Company
was organized on April %, 1891, with
an authorized capital of $4,000, and
with 100000 outstanding. Mrs, Black
more was assigned 150 shares of the
stock by her husband. The rule to
show cause was granted by Vice. Chan
cellor Howell, and is returnable for
argument on April q In the meantime
the company will be restrained from
Ireceiving or payingsout money or trans
ferring any of its property.

MYSTERY IN
GIRLS HUNT

The police today have expressed
themselves as satisfied that the tele-
phone call received by Charles de
Girarde. of "a Palm street, father of
15-year- Jennie de Girarde, who dis
appeared from her home with Loretta
Brady, Is years old, of At Sixteenth
avenue, telling him that his daughter
last night was a hoax. Two theories
are advanced by the police as to who
might be the sender, but they will not
commit themselves.
1t has been intimated that Daniel
Norton, the West Side politician in
New York, might know something
about. the call, and also that some
people in Newark might like to know
who is assisting the father of the de
Girarde girl II is NOT believed the
call came from the New York police.
So many mysterious circumstances
have arisen within the past few days
in the case that the police are bafled.
They do not deny that much impor-
tance can be attached to the action of
several Newarkers who are said TO be
inter cctc0 hCCPAHS thc 6AAio Oui VI
town.
Without the appearance Of the Brady
girl, the police cannot make out a case
against Joseph A. Bailey, who is
charged with committing an assault
upon her. He declares he knows moth
ing of the girl and would welcome the
news that she had been found. Norton,
who has been in this city, had in his
possession letter of a recent date.
postmarked Newark. This is consid-
cred important, for it established the
fact, the police say, that he has some
interest in some person or persons in
this city.
The parents of the De Girarde girl
are frantic, but have not given up hope
that their daughter win return. The
father has slept little since her disap-
pearance. and is footsore seeking her.
Mrs. Springler. the mother of the
Brady girl. feels sure her daughter is
we'll able to care for herself.

Sequel to Branegan Aliena-
ton Suit Before Chan
Gerry Court.
SLINGERLAND, DEFENDANT.
NOW IN SPOKANE, WASH.
Plaintiff Claims to Be Unable to
Collect Judgment on
$4,000 Verdict.

As a sequel to a verdict of the Su-
preme Court of the State of New Jer-
sey, awarding So, 900 damages to Chriso-
pher Branegan. of Asbury Park, a
brother of Police Justice Joseph M.
Branegan, of Harrison, in his suit
against Frederick Slingerland. formerly
of the Rutherford Hotel. Lake ave-
nue., Asbury Park. for alienation of
the affections of Branegan's wife. a
suit was brought by Branegan today
in Chancery court against Slingerland
and his father to have set aside GER
tain transfer of property on the ground
of fraud.
When the verdict was given against
Slingerland, it is contended by Brane-
gan that he transferred the Ruther-
ford Hotel property to his father, Will
lam ]. Slingerland, who for over thirty
years was head bookkeper for the
Equitable Life Insurance Company, OF
New York.
1t is further contended that the
transfer was made to defeat the carry
ing out of the verdict received by
Branegan against Slingerland.
The younger Slingerland. who is in
Spokane, employed as a civil engineer
for the Spokane Telephone Company,
transferred the property to his father
for the sum of $1,000. subject to a
SO, 600 mortgage. The father claims 1t
was a bona fide sale.
Branegan and his wife lived at sew
eral addresses in Newark, including
1S3 Washington street, 19 Garside
avenue and SO Bleecker street before
they moved to Asbury Park.
In Asbury Park the difficulty be-
tween Slingerland and Mrs. Branegan
arose, which resulted in a suit brought
in April, 1910, in the Essex County Cir
cult Court for alienation. Branegan
received a verdict of $1,000 before Judge
Adams and jury. This was reduced
on appeal by the Supreme Court in
May, 1911.
Mrs. Branegan had subsequently got
ten divorce and appeared in court
a1 the alienation trial on behalf of her
alleged affinity" The suit il being
tried before vice-Chancellor Stevens.

NO VIOLENCE
BY STRIKERS

A number of conflicting statements
by the firm of L. Goldsmith & Son. and
the striking trunkmakers at the fac
tory, Cherry and Canal streets, were
made today concerning the labor
troubles there. David Goldsmith. senior
member of the firm, declared he had
just returned from the factory after
being absent since Saturday, and was
greatly surprised to find the trunkmak-
ers had walked out on Monday.
Mr.. Goldsmith declared he had con-
ference with the arbitration committee
from the Trunkmakers' Union on Sat
urday, and that he understood no
action would be taken until a second
conference was held during the latter
part OF this week According to Mr..
Goldsmith and David Osterweil, an
other member of the firm. $50 trunk
makers were employed there and sixty
of them are still working. They as
serted that they kept an open shop and
did not question a man as to whether
he belonged to a union or not.
1--WE could get the greater part OF
our men back at a moments notice, "
said Mr.. Osterweil; they were simply
pulled away from us"
The strikers held another meeting to-
day at their headquarters, AS William
street. Charles Steiwald, vice-presi-
dent of the International Union Of
Travelling Goods and Leather Novelty
Workers, who presided at the meeting.
denied that sixty trunkmakers were
still working in the Goldsmith plant.
I'VE have made our request for an
adjustment of wages" said Mr.. Stei-
wald. "and the union must be recog-
nized before this is settled. If the
wage scale is satisfactorily arranged
we intend that an agreement should be
made whereby the terms of settlement
will be kept. We called on Mr.. Gold
smith twice. and 1t was made plain
that another meeting would be use
less"
Mr.. Steiwald denied that any violence
would be used by the strikers. I'VE
have issued strict orders to our men
doing picket duty" he said, ''to con-
duct themselves quietly and make no
disturbance. There is no need for such
measures on our part"

Bomb Mystery
Stumps Police

Despite the efforts of police and fire
experts the peculiar explosion in the
grocery store of James Golote, 424
Bank street, last night. which Is
thought to be another of the bomb
cases which have terrorized the Italian
sections of the city, is shrouded in
greater mystery than ever
Battalion Chief Exall reported to
Chief Sloan that the blaze which fol-
lowed the explosion looked as If 1t had
been deliberately started by an, incen-
diary.
Captain Gasser. of the department of
combustibles and fire risks, however,
said that he thought the explosion was
merely back draft, caused by the in
tense heat and the formation of gases.
1t is feared by others that a bomb
was exploded in the store and started
the fire.
Shortly before o'clock the neighbor-
hood of the grocery store was shaken
by an explosion. An orderly in the
City Hospital heard it and suggested
that the ambulance should be sent out.
Flames were seen bursting from the
STORE, ana lHe eHtire tnree-IaIniiy
house was threatened.
Alfred Werner. who lives on the sec
ond floor, ran out and-turned in the
alarm. His aunt, who was i'll in bed
was carried out.
Thomas Cunning, of the bureau Of
combustibles and fire risks, investi-
gated today and said that he could not
explain the explosion. Neither could
he discover the cause of the fire.
Goloto, the owner, had left the store
few minutes before the fire. His wife
was visiting her mother. Mrs. Mary
Scabenzo. of 105 Camden street. He
could not explain the fire and he de-
MED that he had any enemies. He
said. however, that he had the store
insured for si,750. and that the policy
will expire IN April.
The owner of the building is Michael
Reilly. who lives on the third floor

TRENTON, March 1.-Confirmation
of the appointments made by Governor
Wilson issexpected to be made by the
Senate today. Despite the expressed
dissa tisfaction at the Governor
choice, as announced yesterday in fill
ing various positions, it is unlikely that
there will be opposition to any name
on the list.
The impression exists in political
circles here that the Governor and the
Senate have come to an understanding.
The Republican senators are in favor

probable selection of a Republican as
one of the vice-chancellors. Some of
the Republican senators were consult
ed, it Is also known, in regard to the
county tax board appointments.
The Senate rushed through a bill
providing for another vice-chancellor.
This, it is said, was done to create a
position for Senator Silzer, of Middle
sex. Mr.. Silzer was candidate for
secretary of state to succeed Colonel
Samuel Dickinson, of Hudson. 1t is
understood that he was offered the
prosecutorship of Middlesex, but de-
clared he would accept no office other
than secretary of state, but the ap-
pointment will go to David Crater, OF
Monmouth.

. The sentiment of the majority Of
citizens and many city officials seems
to be that strict dog1muzziing order
should be carried out with the APP
proach of warm weather There is an
ordinance providing for this. and Alder
man Mark F. Phillips voiced the senti-
ments of many of his colleagues when
he declared that II should be enforced.
Several cases have been reported to
the First ward representative and at
recent legislative conference at the
City Hall he give vent to his feelings
and declared that something should be
done.
Women and children often cross
the streets TO avoid ugly looking dogs
that spap at pedestrians" said Alder
man Phillips. Il. think the Humane
Society ought to be able to catch more
of the stray animals than they do.
They get an appropriation of $500 an
nually from the city in addition to out
side contributions and other revenue,
and should work harder to rid tho
streets of the dogs running at large at
all hours of the dsg and night"
Former Board OF Health Commis-
sioner ]. Walter Dobibns Is another
champion of the cause He favored the
passage of bill that would enable the
board of health to supervise the dog
question.
I'VE have a staff OF inspectors that
do nothing but walk from one end Of
the city TO the other every day and
they could keep tabs on the dQEzs'
said the former comTnssDAoner
In 1870 21s persons were bitten. These
were all properly investigated by the
Board of Health. Forty persons were
given Pasteur treatment, thirty three
suspected dogs heads were examined.
and of that number twenty zone were
found to have unmistakable symptoms
of rabies. The record shows that more
than a hundred of the dogs which bit
persons were never captured.
The increase of dog victims last year
over 1910 was big. The total number
in 1911 was $50. The number of dogs
heads examined was forty one, twenty
eight being positive cases of rabies and
thirteen negative cases. This year out
of the six suspected dogs heads that
were examined half of that number
were positive. In the remainder of the
eighty-nine cases Of dog biting the ami
mails were never caught and remain
menace TO the entire city.
The victim who succumber to the
dreaded disease was Samuel Left, and
his case was never reported to the au-
thorities until after he died.
Ascertaining the facts of biting cases
is taken care of by the Board of Health
At the hospital the patients are cared
for by DR.. Richard n. Connolly. who
is regarded as one of the most expert
physicians on rabies. He is assited by
DR.. Thomas Ripley and DIR. Harold A.
Tarbell.
