WOMAN GRABS
THIEF; is FELLED
Intruder Drags Mrs. Strassberg
Into Street-Knocks Her
Into Gutter.

Catching a robber in the act of
footing the till in her confectionery
store at noon today, Mrs. Max Strass-
berg. of 139 Peshine avenue, pluckily
grappled with him.
She was dragged, fighting, from be-
hind the counter, across the store and
into the street. There the thief final
ly broke away, knocked her into the
gutter and ran.
Two youths had entered her store
few moments before and asked for
brand of cigarettes she did not
have in stock They went out and
she returned to the kitchen in the
rear of the shop.
A few minutes later she heard the
bell of the till ring. She ran into the
store and saw one of the two at the
till; the other was standing by the
door.
Special Officer Frederick Walters
took up the chase. He arrested on
suspicion Frank Goff, II years old,
of $50 South Orange avenue, who was
running along Avon avenue. Gon
was taken to the Sixth precinct
where Mrs. Strassberg will try to
Identify him.
An excited witness of the struggle
telephoned to the police station that
a woman had been held up and killed.
A patrol wagon full of reserves and
pIainclothesmen was rushed to the
scene, but there was nothing to be
done.

ENJOYS IN SESSION
HOUR AND A HALF
Allies Oppose Turkish Request
for Provisioning of
AdrianopIe.

LONDON. Dec 2s.-The peace con-
ference resumed its sittings at St
James's palace this afternoon The
plenipotentiaries of Bulgaria, Servia.
Montenegro, Greece and Turkey ar
rived in the picture gallery of the
palace at exactly 4 o'clock
The envoys remained together only
a short time Their discussions last
ed not quite an hour and a half
The allies oppose the Turkish re-
quest for the provisioning of Adrian
ople, not only for the reason that this
would give the enemy a great advan-
tage in event of the resumption OF
fighting, which would not have been
earned by arms but on technical
grounds, but because the delegates
have not the power to reopen mill
tary questions which the Chatalja
conferees who signed the armistice
dealt with.
While suspicion exists that the
Turks have been sparring for time
the consensus of opinion is that the
Turkish government viii recognize the
situation and conclude peace. and that
the political situation in Constants
nople dictates that course. The ad-
vice which the principal powers have
been giving to Turkey is in the direc-
ton Of peace.
The allies say that their military
position has been greatly strength
ened and If they must reopen the
war they can muster between Adrian
ople and Chatalja $50 00e men, inelud-
ing 15O,00O fresh and well-drilled Bull
garians

TEACHERS TO KICK
FOR SALARY RAISE
SchooIma ans of Fifth and
Sixth Grades Want 500 >
More Yearly.

Dissatisfied with their present sala-
ries, the fifth and sixth grade public
school teachers, $50 In number, will
tonight make a demand upon the
Board of Education for an increase of
500 year. This increase, if it is
granted, will place these teachers on
a par, in the question of salary, with
the instructors of the higher grades.
The demand will be presented to the
teachers committee of the board In
the form of a petition bearing the
signatures of all the teachers affected.
They contend that their work is
harder than that Of the teachers in
the lower grades, Who at the present
time receive the same salary, and just
as wearing as those In the upper
grades, who receive $100 more a year.
The minimum salary for the fifth and
sixth grade teachers at the present
time is $3.50 a year, and the maximum
s1,100. They want it raised to $3.50
and $1,200 the same as the seventh
and eighth grade instructors. The
amount involved is approximately
s25, ,00O
1t is understood that the board will
take the stand that nothing can be
done at this time, lnasmuch as the
budget for the year has already been
made up. Even if the board mem-
bers allowed the increase, it could not
90 into effect before the next school
year.
1t is rumored that if this demand Is
granted by the board, the upper grade
teachers will also petition for an in

Yesterday, according to Mr.. Man,

price of admittance to a movie show
in the crowd. Then, the youngsters
told Kass, Teske had an inspira-

while attending the Eighth Avenue

money in their desks.

Accordingly. the boys said. Teske

proceeded to journey through the
school, leaving havoc in their paths.
They smashed a few blackboards,
globes and things of that sort. not
because they expected TO find money
hidden behind or within them, but
for pure love of destruction, and even
rummaged through the tools in the
janitor's locker.
The boys got between So and 50
froin the desks, and intended having
a regular orgy in the toyshops today

Teske was not arrested until sew

Plainclothesman Kass found HIM in an
ice cream parlor in Belmont avenue.
He had been alternating between
confectionery stores and moving pic

All of the boys have bad reputa-

arrested as truants, for malicious
mischief and for small thefts on diff
ferent occasions.

BROTHERS PERISH

ONE STOPS FOR MONEY,
OTHER TO DRESS SELF
Firemen PowerIess in Effort to
Rescue Men Unconscious in
Burning Building.

Morris Sheehan, 3S years old, and
his brother Frank, 80, were suffocated
early today in a fire that destroyed
the two and -half-story building, IL
White street, West Orange, where
Morris conducted a saloon and where
both brothers lived.
The body of Morris was found
behind his bar after the fire had been
extinguished. He had evidently sue
cumbed as he tried to save the con-
tents Of his cash register. Frank,
who was bartender in the saloon, lost
his life because of his unwillingness
to make a dash for safety in his
night clothes. He attempted to dress
himself and died drawing on shis
trousers as he sat on the side of his
bed.
Policemen Discover Flames.
The fire was discovered at 1920 a. m.
by Sergeant McDonough and PATROL
man Mccormick, who stood on
nearby corner Mccormick turned in
an alarm and then both officers
rushed to the burning building. The
structure is nearly a century old. 1t
was built for a school and was dry
as tinder. By the time the policemen
reached 1t, the fire had made such
headway that they were unable to
enter.
When the fire engines arrived
shortly afterward there was no hope
Of saving the old structure, and the
hremen found it impossible to make
their way in.
While the fire fighters were at work

rushed over to them and exclaimed;
Both the Sheehan boys are In the
house!'
She was Mrs. Mcconnell, who keeps
D boarding house in White street OPP
posite the saloon. The two victims of
the fire took their meals at her place.
Desperate attempts were made by
aremen to enter the burning build
ing, but heat drove them back.
Within a half hour scarcely any
ching remained of the building but
Ahe walls. The f1remen crept in and
found Morris's body behind the bar
on the ground floor. Above, hanging
bn a floor timber, they found the
body Of the other brother, blackened
and scorched.
The Sheehans are survived by a
brother Thomas, who lives in Lie
wellyn avenue, West Orange, and
sister. Mrs. Andrew Dunn, Of 81 Val

CHARGE COLLISION
IN BANKRUPT SALE
Referee Adams Sets Aside Auc-
tion of the Postkraft
Assets.

Satisfied beyond a doubt by the con-
fession of Harry E. Burr that collu-
sion had been practised to stifle COM
petition in the safe of the Postkraft
assets, Referee Adams today set the
sale aside. A new sale will now be
ordered.
The hearing today was the result
of objections filed by David Bobker
against the confirmation of the sale.
Mr.. Booker is attorney for w. Locke
Rockwell. trustee.
Burr was called to the stand fol-
lowing a statement made by Adolph
Greenfield, an auctioneer, at a pre-
vious hearing on the objections.
Greenfield admitted that Burr had
given him $115 When asked for what
reason the money had been paid,
Greenfield said that Burr could ex-
plain.
Burr calmly admitted today that
he gave Greenfield the money on the
latter's guarantee to keep the bid
ding under $3.50. Burrs admission
created CONSERVATION among his
counsel.
He had told them he could explain
the transaction and they had not
looked for this admission. After he
had left the stand Burr wanted to
make a. further explanation" He
was cut off short by the referee, who
said:
mo, 1 don't want to hear any more
from you"
Fl. Gold, another auctioneer and
commission merchant, of S4S Plane
street, was also called to the stand.
He admitted that he had been paid
$50, but refused to state whQ gave 1t
to him. ~
When asked why he was given the
money he said it was his profit for
saving away from the sale" Attor-
ney Booker said today that at least
one other man had been paid to hold
down the price of the assets, which
were sold at public auction on Decem-
Der 4. After the sale several men
who were unable to be present offered
the trustee much larger sum than
the price paid by the successful bid
der Attorney Bobker then moved for
a new sale.
Clarence H. Hedden now holds the
trustees title to the assets. He paid
$3.50 for them at the Objectionable sale
Now that new sale has been or
dered Burr is wondering how to get
his S115 back.
In setting aside the sale Referee
Adams said: "There Is evidence before
the court to show that there was a
deliberate attempt carried out to
stifle the competition at this sale
This practise must be discouraged.
The trustees would be justified in
bringing an action to bring punish
ment upon the originators Of such a
scheme"

PENDANTS met in New York on August
5, 1912, and discussed a memoran-
dunn heretofore exchanged between
Messrs. Chamberlin and Mellen. which
provided that the Grand Trunk should
sell the New Haven system all its
interest in the Central Railroad of
Vermont and it's subsidiaries. which
would include all the proposed exten-
sions into New England.
The second overt act alleged en-
braces a charge that Chamberlin
wrote to Vice-President J. z. Dali
rymple, of the Crank Trunk saying
that he and Smithers had had a salts
factory interview with Mellen, and 1t
was agreed that Dalrymple and Ben
jamin Campbell. of the New Haven,
should meet quietly in Mellen's 5
offices and discuss new divisions Of

The third act alleges that the de-
PENDANTS held further meeting in
New York city on September 20 of
this year; the fourth that they held
another meeting in New York in Oc-
tober; the fifth that at this last mem
toned meeting Mellen initiated and
gave to the co-defendants a memo
randum of the agreement providing,
among other things, that RE Grand
Trunk is ito retain the Central YER
mont and the existing controlled lines
and continue its existing business as
at present"
The sixth overt act alleged is that

petition previously filed by his
directors with the Public Service

ing authority to extend one Of the
New Haven lines paralleling and
competing with a portion of the Cen
tral of Vermont railway:
The seventh overt act as set forth
is that on October 9. 1912. Chamber
lin caused the work of constructing
a line from Palmer, Mass, to Provi-
dence, r. L, to be abandoned.
None of the defendants was repre-
sented In court when the indictment
was handed UP, but counsel for the
government said that all three would
surrender themselves within few
DAYS, Notwithstanding the fact that
Messrs. Smithers and Chamberlin are
not residents of the United States.
Mr.. Smithers's headquarters are in
London; Mr.. Chamberlin's in Mon
treal.
