Their Clothing Question.

There are a few women who are
strong-minded enough to remain true

Their blouses are Of the heavier

or white, and thereby save themselves

But these women are In the minor

TREASON.

Treason doth never prosper: what's
the reason?
why, if it prosper, none dare call II
treason.
The. above is opportune in the pres
cnt conditions in Mexico. Felix Diaz
nephew of the eXiled President OF the
Republic, started a movement against
Madero, who had reached the presi-
dency by revolution. The ambitious
young man risked his life as the re-
volt headed by him was a failure,
but the fact remains that his act OF
treason was no more henious than
that of the man who was about to
WELD the sword on one, more unfor-
tunate than himself.

FedeIe Victim of
Gang Feud, Is
Claim of Police

That the death of Anthony Fedele,
found murdered in the woods at South
Orange last Saturday, was due to a
gang feud was practically admitted to-
day in the prosecutors Office, when it
was said that no further efforts would
be made, at this time, to find his
slayer.
Investigation in New York brought
out the fact that Vencenza Fedele had
been arrested in 1908 in New York city
in connection with the kidnapping of a
boy named Tomassulo from a tene-
ment-house in Mott = street. His
mother is a sister of the man murdered
in South Orange, and it is believed that
differences between the parties in the
kidnapping case brought on the MUIR
der.
Fedele himself, investigation has
shown, was wanted in New York on a
charge Of larceny committed two years
ago. AT thai time he furnished bail
in the sum of 81, 500, but when the case
was called for trial he did not appear.
The bailee. q saloon-keeper at Eliza
beth and Houston streets, later disap-
peared, and the New York police are
still looking for him.

Butter Butted
Bargain Buyer,
Court Butted In

ELIZABETH, Jan. 27.-Mrs. Annie
Engel got Joseph Ering's goat and then
she proceeded to get his goat"
1t seems that Ering guaranteed the
goat to be free from blemish, kind and
gentle and to stand without hitching.
When she got Billy home he started
to give an imitation of the proverbial
bull in the equally proverbial china
shop. When the smoke of battle had
lifted, broken bones had been set and
black eyes been made equal to new
while you wait" Mrs. Engel vowed
that she would bring suit to recover
the price hat she had paid for the
o~bstreperous animal. And she did, the
papers being now on file in the local
District Court.
The court will be called Upon We'd
nesday to decide which of the prin-
cipals was the goat, who got the
others goat and a few other little
technicalities which don't arise in the
average court proceedings. Just where
the goat is now the papers fail to say,
but it is expected that there will be a
ruling to the effect that the goat won't
be admitted to the courtroom as Elk
bit A, in view of the fact that it
would get the courts goat. should the
goat get the courts papers.

WOMAN LIKELY TO
CAUSE R.. R.. WAR
Hill Gould System Plans Attack
on Lines Left to Harri-
man Widow.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-PIans for q
big trans-continental railroad war with
the Hill Gould group of railway lines
aligned against the Hartman system
are in the making, according to gossip
in Wall street today. It Is said that
the project partly resulted from the
belief that the strength Of the Haxrf-
man system has been impaired-but It
is in control Of a woman-Mrs. d. H.
Hartman, and partly because n. c.
B,rick, formerly n Of the biggest
financial supports of tho Union Pacific
group, has sold his holdings. BY a
series Of agreements a Joint ownership
may link the Denver and Rio Grande,
the Texas Pacific, the Missouri Pacific,
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy.
Such a combination would give the
ELL lines q route from Chicago to the
Pacific coast through productive terri
tory, q desire long cherished by James
J. Hill. The great banking house OF
Blair & Co., which has been affiliated
with the Gould system, and which
financed the Missouri Pacific, is said
to be strongly In favor of the coalition.
Wall Street pointed out today a strik-
ing change Of conditions since the
death OF e.. H. Hartman, and it was
said that during the life of the founder
of the great Hartman system no
banking house would have had the
temerity to suggest such a scheme.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Jan. 27.-Declar-

bald-headed husband, Josephine Mer-

PENDANT in an action for. separation
brought by her husband, Salvatore
Merlino, a cheese manufacturer, TWEEN
ty years her senior, and the husband
was granted the decree in Supreme
Court by Justice Pooley yesterday.
The ground was abandonment.
Several years 6 Merlino's first
wife died and left him with six chill
dren, nearly all of whom are now
grown up. He and Josephine were
married on November 20 and on Mo-
vember 81 she left him. One of Nor
limos testified that he had met his
new stepmother the day after the
marriage and that she said to him:

tell your father that / cannot live with
him another day. I never saw him
with his hat off until yesterday and
