THIEF WHO
GRABS NECKLACE

NEW YORK, May 29.-After following
her for many blocks north on Fifth ave
nue. yesterday, a highwayman made a
daring attempt to steal a package con
tanning n diamond necklace valued at
500 0 from Mrs. James A. Deering, u
prominent society woman and wife of the
wealthy lawyer, between Forty-sixth and
Forty seventh streets.
Mrs. Deering, who, previous to her mar
riage was Violet Pierce, daughter of
Henry Clay Pierce, the oil magnate and
multi-millionaire. put up a desperate bat
tie with the highwsyman and finally beat
him off. AS Mrs. Deering turned to fol
low him and cry for help the man darted
into the crowd and disappeared.
Policeman Jeremiah O'Connor, on duty
at the Forty-sixth street crossing was
summoned. Mrs. Deering, exceedingly
calm. despite the experience she had re-

"DARROW HIRED
Me-" SAYS BR|BER

LOS ANGELES, Cal, May 29.-Bert
franklin. who had charge of the investi-
cation of prospective jurors during the
Mcnamara trial on behalf Of the de-
tense, and who was arrested during that
trial for the alleged bribery of George
M. Lockwood. took the witness stand
yesterday as a witness for the State
against Clarence Darrow, attorney for
the McNamaras.
Franklin told the story of his alleged
employment by barrow, told alleged con-
versations between them concerning the
bribery of jurors and began the account
Balm, the Mcnamara juror. who is-said
to have accepted a bride. His story
agreed iE detail with the account given
by Mrs. Balm, and Balm himself at the
preliminary examination of Franklin.
Franklin testified that the first mention
of jury bribery was made to him by OAR
row, October 5, on the street.
Franklin said that $1,000 was the
amount Darrow said would be paid for
jurymen-$4,0W to go to the Juror and
$1,000 to himself. barrow told him to
see Mr.. Balm and gave him a check for
$1,000.
franklin testified that he deposited
this $1,000 to his credit at the First
National Bank and drew out the $500,
which was paid to Mrs. Balm as the first
payment for her husbands vote for ac-
quital.
Earl Rodgers, chief counsel for Oar
row, subjected Lockwood to a severe
cross-examination.
Robert j. Foster, a detective for the
National Erectors' Association, appeared
on a citation for contempt for having
given an interview concerning the use of
the dictagraph for gathering evidence
against barrow. His attorney asked de-
lay and Judge Hutton transferred the
case to the presiding judge of the ST.
perior Court for assignment to another
department for trial.

RELEASE NEWARK
PAYERS At BEACH

BRADLEY BEACH, May 29.-Probably
the last echo of a municipal paving dis
pute that a month ago had worked poll
tlcians and other citizens to a white heat
In this borough was heard yesterday in
the release of the Newark Paving Com
pany from the contract made with tho
borough for paving Main street between
the car tracks of the Atlantic Coast
Electric Company.
In the former proceedings a cry of graft
was raised in the council chamber by
representatives of paving concerns which
had lost in the contest for the contract.
Alleged conversations with officials tend
ing to show undue influence were re-
peated at a hearing which 1t seemed at
time would result In an inquiry. Grad
ually such talk subsidized and the release
given the paving company today from
a part of its contract Will probably prove
the last of the controversy.
When the borough contract was award
ed, representatives of the trolley com
pany. with which the borough hat n c,ii.
tract under which the trolley company
was obliged to pay for Whatever paving
the borough ordered between the tracks,
declared before council they could have
the paving Ion by other concerns at a
considerably less figure than 1t was pro-
posed that they pay the Newark Paving
Company. Now that the paving company
is released from this part of it's contract
with the borough 1t is understood that
1t will make the private arrangements
with the trolley company for the same
work, the company settling the bill with
the company instead of with the borough.

RAILWAY HARBORS
COCAINE F|ENDS

RAILWAY, May 2s.-Through the efforts
of County Detective John A. Galatian,
acting under orders from the county
prosecutors office, and with the coopera-
ton of the Merck Company, drug manu-
facturers of this city, an Illicit traffic
in cocaine has been stopped and the
mystery of two burglaries at the Merck
plant solved, for which Neil Wander
wende, of Park avenue, this city, is now
held at the county jail.
V~anderwende was held by Judge At
water to await the action of the grand
jury. The prisoner signed the allegation
and pleaded guilty to the charge of break
ing and entering and will probably be ar
raigned tomorrow In the Court of SEES
From present Indications IL appears that
several other well-knowD young men in
this city are addicted to the cocaine
habit as well as Yenderwende, who Is
only q years old, and interesting dis
Vanderwende Is concerned dates back
nearly a year to the time when the co.
caine department of the big Merck plant
was entered by forcing n window open
with a Jimmy. This occurred on the
night of August %, 1911, and was fol-
lowed by a similar break on the night
Of October Q, 1911. Entrance was gained
to the place while the Waterman was In
a distant part of the large plant.
A heavy paddock on the cocaine room
was broken each time and several pounds
of crystalized cocaine and cocaine sift-
ings taken. The case was placed in the
hands of New York detectives and the
sale of the drug was traced by the de-
t~ectives TO three places in the Chinatown
section of the metropolis.
Last Thursday Detective Catalan was
informed of the case and spent consid-
cradle time in New York trying to locate
the guilty party. Saturday, Sunday and
Monday he spent in Railway, with the
result that vanderwende was arrested
and admitted the charge.
In the investigation conducted by De-
tective Catalan 1t developed that at least
seven young men of this city are addicted
to the cocaine habit and some OF them
have lost good positions through the use
Of the drug.

Argus Leader:-A nice Job OF
party wrecking has been done in
our sister state of Iowa. The
republican state convention has
repudiated the action of the re-
publican national convention, and
a Des Moines dispatch sent out
later, declared that scarcely a
republican could be found who
did rot believe the republican
state ticket of Iowa was in for a
good licking 1t is believed
that Senator Kenyon will be
caught in the wreckage. 1t would
be quite proper that men who re-
pldiate their party because they
can not have their own way
should also have other men to
initiate their example on the
state ticket. Fewer repub-
licans will be elected to Office
next November than perhaps in
any election in a generation.
Generally speaking, the prospect
is that the party will be turned
out to pasture for four years dur
ing which the leaders and mem
bers will have plelty of chance
to think things over.
