The case was set down for trial in

been placed on probation about a year
ago in connection with several other

County Probation officer John j. Gas

Strange Disappearance of
Jennie De Girarde and
Loretta Brady.

Investigations into the strange disap-
pearances of Loretta Brady, IS years
old, of "a Sixteenth avenue, and Jennie
De Girarde. not yet 10 years old. have
brought forth startling disclosures.
Several of the secrets of the girls have
been barred by young men with whom
they associated, but these do not throw
any light on their present whereabouts.
The mothers Of the girls are affected
by the departure of their daughters, and
Mrs. De Girarde is particularly anxious
on account of the tender age of the girl.
Mrs. De Girarde blames the Brady
girl for her daughters actions. Loretta
is the young girl who averred on Feb
ruary IL that she had been drugged and
assaulted by Joseph A. Bailey, of 149
Mulberry street, in the Central Hotel,

for she is the main witness in the

porters, but he disclaimed any knowl-

deny that he was acquainted with the

The girls, as told in last nights

homes after each had received a sum

LETS MAKE
CONCESSION"
Realty Board Asks Works Board
to Meet Pennsy Half
Way.

The Newark Real Estate Board has
taken a deep interest in the proposed
improvements of the Pennsylvania rail-
road at It's Market street station. This
was evidenced yesterday afternoon
when Postmaster Frank J. Book headed
a delegation that waited on the Board
of Works asking the status of the
controversy between the board and the
railroad.
According to a report of an informal
conversation between the board and
Mr.. Book things took a more serious
turn. During the talk it is said Mr..
Book urged that the city make some
concessions to the railroads
''Why, would you have done such a
thing while you were a member of the
board?" asked Mr.. Denman. Don't
you know that you were the most
Jealous man on the board in guarding
the interests of the city? The railroad
has already more than it is entitled to,
and we cannot come to any agreement
until it submits to our proposals"
The other two commissioners as
sented in this, and declared that the
Pennsylvania wanted much more than
Mr.. Book was willing to admit.
Mr.. Book said he was acting as a
member of the real estate board and
in the interests of the city.

NEW YORK, March 15.-"All negotia-
tions with the anthracite coal opera
tors are off," declared John P. White,
president of the United Mine Workers
of America, at the adjournment of the
meeting this afternoon between the
miners and operators, in which the
miners declined the operators counter
propositions "I look for a general sus-
pension of work on April IT, he added.
Added to the possibilities of
a strike of the anthracite coal
miners in Pennsylvania are those
of the still greater dangers
of a tie-up of the entire bituminous
region, which will directly affect $4,000
miners in Illinois, $4,000 in Indiana.
$4,000 In Ohio and 100000 in Pennsylva-
mia bituminous fields, or $4,000 in all.
These fields are the very heart of the
American soft coal industry.
The bituminous operators and their
employees will confer at Cleveland on
March 20. An indirect outcome of this
conference may mean the declaring OF
a strike in all the bituminous fields.
The bitumipous miners are well or
ganized and well prepared for long
suspension, better prepared than the
operators, who have not been able to
store up the large surplus of former
strike years. The unorganized work.

nessee. Kentucky and in the West
morland district of Pennsylvania may
also come OUT Desperate efforts to
organize these fields will be made dur

that the outlaws will be taken alive.
and 1t may be days before a we'll

No Statement
on Fitzherbert
Democratic Senators Will Ask
Resignation, 1t Is Said.

Efforts to obtain any information
from William D. Edwards, counsel for
Senator Richard Fitzherbert, with re-
gard to the resignation Of the senator
proved unavailing today. When in
quiry was made at Mr. Edwsrds's o.
flee all information with regard to the
counselor was denied.
In view of the assertions of Mr.. Ed
wards that the senator from Morris
county would not resign and in view
of the recent statement of Fitzherbert,
Il am innocent of all wrong doing.
Why should l resign?7 there is some
doubt as to what the next move in the
case of Senator Fitzherbert will be-
1t is understood that the Democratic
senators will ask Senator Fitzherbert
to resign.
1t is the gossip about the State
House that Governor Wilson is respon-
sible for the draft of letter that has
been prepared. and that viii be pre-
scented to the senator The letter was
shown to the governor and now it Is
understood that several changes are
to be made in it before delivering it to
the accused man.
Although denials have been rife thar
the governor has had anything TO DO
with the asking of the resignation Of

noiselessly to tse cafe floor.
He found to his surprise the man
working with a Jimmy on the cash
register He then raised the bottle ne
held in his hands and commanded the
intruder to surrender.
When the police searched the man
evidence was found which showed that
he had been interested in other places
that had been entered. Burglars tools
were also in his pockets and an cleo
trio flash lamp. The man was put
through a gruelling examination by
Captain Ryan and his plainclothesmen,
but they We're unable to get any infor-
