STRAIGHTFORWARD TALE
OF BOY COT HIM Off

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
New Brunswick, May 23:-The
straightforward story of Willie
Ivan, of Roosevelt, a boy Of four
teen, before Judge Peter f. DAILY
yesterday for sentence on a plea of
non vult to atrociously assaulting
his former boss at the Wheeler Con
densed Works, led the court to place
him on parole and give him another
chance. Chief of Police John DOnO-
van, Of Roosevelt, said he had had
trouble with the boy and had found
him on the streets carrying beer
for others.
Assistant Prosecutor Joseph r.
Stricken said three complaints had
been made about the boys miscon-
duct. The boy is one of six children
and because of the illness of his
father with rheumatism had to go
to work. He told the court he had
been nagged by his boss who had
struck him with a strap and had
later had him discharged. When
he did that the boy said he struck
him with an iron bolt. He asked
for one more chance and the court
gave it to him warning him to stop
carrying beer for any one and be-
have himself.

ARREST BOYS
FOR STEALING
Three Are Caught in Stable
of Philip Cutoff.

Three boys caught stealing
oranges and ransacking the stable
of Philip Cutoff. of 1873 New Bruins
wick avenue, were arrested shortly
after 10 o'clock last night and are
in cells pending disposition. The
lads, Steve Ta1arum, eight years old,
of AT Hall avenue; Henry Bulin-
ski, nine years old, of Broad street,
and Steve Melish, twelve years old,
of Broad street, were caught by
Cutoff while in company with a girl
and robbing his stable.
They were arraigned before Re
corder Kehoe this morning and
pleaded guilty to entering Cutoff S
property. They blamed the orange
thefts on the absent girl. The re-
corder said he was inclined to give
the boys an opportunity to reform
without sending them to the State
Home for Boys and remanded them
until their parents could be COM
municated with.
Cutoff told the court his stable
had been broken into a number of
times of late. He said 1t was usual
ly kept locked. Last night he heard
a noise in it. He investigated and
found one of the lads hiding. He
"squealed" on the other two, who
were also found hiding behind box
es and barrels. Cutoff brought them
to police headquarters and turned
them over to Sergeant McDermott.

BILE limp had nothing to do with his
illness, for that limp has beer part of
Morse's movements for many years.
Morse and his wife were on the pas
senger list as MIR. and Mrs. Morris"
He said this listing was the fault OF
the booking agent in Paris. The &C.
commodations on the ship were en-

Of the name was phonetic. After

himself booked as Morris, saw no rea
son to disclose his real identity, which

AS AN ESCORT
Taft as Stump Speaker Diff
ferent from President.

Camden, May 23:-Taft as presi-

as a political stump speaker are
two p~ersonages in the minds of
many of the members of the Third
regiment, national guard of New
Jersey.
So when orders were given for
five companies to act as escort to
Taft there was a murmur of disap-
p"roval. The local papers in big
head lines told how the crack Third
was going to escort Taft from the
ferry to the armory.
The men were too good soldiers
to rebel, but they did not like to be
made part of q political parade, and
their protest grew 50 loud that the
officers of the regiment held a con
ference, and the parade was called
off.
The men will assemble In their
armOry to preserve order, but they
insist if they do this for Taft they
ought to do it for Roosevelt, and
that arrangement will be followed
out.
