TAUGHT TO ROB BY
BROTHER, HE SAYS
Boy Arrested With Companion
in NutIey Also Accuses
Sister.

That he came from a family of
Fagins and had been taught to steal
while he was studying his A B C's
was the queer excuse given to the
Nutley police by a thirteen-year-old
boy, who was arrested for clever at
tempt at burglary.
He gave his name as Edward Staub,
thirteen, of S18 Pavonia avenue A
companion arrested with him said he
was Adam Perrence, fourteen, of 1O7

1t was Staub who was the pictur-

that they went to the home of Pa

COUNT MILLIONS
IN MINT TO FIX
ROBBERY Loss
Amount Believed to Be Small,
but Necessitates Counting
of S61,754,000.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 81. The
United States mint at San Francisco
has been robbed, although it is be-
lieved the amount is small. Treasury
officials today confirmed reports of
thefts from the coinage plant. 1t will
require dollar for dollar count of
the 61.754,000 of silver stored there
to discover the exact loss.
Only 81 has been found to be miss
ing up to this time, but the circum-
stances indicate that the sum will be
increased George e. Roberts, direc-
tor of the mint, today said undoubt-
edly that there had been a scheme of
"petty pilfering," but he was con-
fident no great amount had been
stolen. The stealing, he added, was
from the great stack of silver dollars
stored in bags containing $1,000 each.
In a few of those bags it was found
that one or two dollars had been
taken and iron washers substituted.
The count of coin at San Francisco,
now in progress, was undertaken in
accordance with custom to verify the
accounts upon the assumption of
superintendency of the mint by T. w.
Fl. Shanahan, recently appointed to
succeed Frank Leach. Usually few
bags of silver are counted and
weighed and the remainder weighed
against them
Mr.. Roberts thinks the money prob
ably was stolen some years ago when
the silver was placed in sacks. There
has been no coinage of silver since
1904, and it is thought the thefts oc-
Cured before then. The count has
been in progress a month and it will
take several weeks and probably
months more to count the entire
$61, 900, 900.
1t may be necessary for all the coin
in the San Francisco mint to be
counted dollar for dollar and penny
for penny In addition to $61, $4,000
in silver dollars. the governments
funds there includes $110, ,42S,0O0 in
gold, $106 500 in halves, $1640OO in
quarters, $SS, 500 in dimes, $3S,OO0 in
nickels and $11, 900 in pennies.
The final decision on the question
of counting will rest with the new SUI
perintendent of the mint, who today
was instructed by Director Roberts
to make the count as sweeping as
necessary.
1t is probable that the United
States secret service will investigate

THOUSANDS CHEER
AS CHAMP TIGERS
PASS ON PARADE
Stores and Factories Closed to
Give All Opportunity to Join
in Celebration.

Any doubt about Newark being a
good baseball city was dispelled today
when the citizens and suffragettes
turned out en- masse to witness the
parade and public demonstration Of
appreciation for the capturing Of the
International League pennant by the
Newark Tigers. Both sides of Broad
street We're lined with thousands of
fans and fannesses, showing a larger
public gathering than is usually wit
messed at the irresistible circus
parade.
All along the line of march the
dwellings and business houses were
decorated with American flags and
pennants displaying a tigers head,
the fighting. tearing animal that the
now famous baseball players initiate
when on the field.
1t would take too much space to
enumerate all the celebrities who at
tended and took part in the parade. A
few lines would suffice to state who
were not there. When Manager Harry
Smith and his band of Tigers hove
into sight they were given a notable
reception all along the line, while
small boys fought to jump on the run
their favorites on the shoulder And
maybe a youngster would be lucky
enough to have time to shake hands
with one of the champions.
In the first car, which was deco
rated with American flags, Board of
Trade emblems and pennants of the
Newark Tigers, was Board of Works
Commissioner Charles P. Gillen,
chairman of the arrangements COM
mittee in charge of the public cele-
bration in honor of the Tigers vic
tory. With Mr.. Gillen were the
members of the committee, John NJ.
Lederer, William F. Mullip, George
ID. Smith, Joseph P. Norton.
Behind this car was another bear
ing Mayor Jacob Haussling, Augustus
V Hamburg, president of the Board
of Trade, which has taken consider
able interest in the movement;
James NJ. Reilly, secretary of the
Trade Board, and Alderman John H.
Donnelly, president of the Common
Council. Another machine carried
the popular manager, Harry Smith,
who was kept busy doffing his cap
to the admiring throng, with several
other players. The Tigers were in
uniform and the sight of the husky
athletes set the youngsters wild.

serve this day as a holiday wherever
circumstances permitted was well

tories closed down so that employer
and employee alike could join in the

TWO GIRLS SAVE

Especial to the Newark star.l

ASBURY PARK, Sept 27.-Several
patrons of the Tenney House narrowly
escaped with their lives when fire
swept that hotel early today. The
building, a four story frame struc-
ture, will have to be rebuilt. The los:
is estimated at $4,000. Forty persons
were in the hotel at the time the fire
started.
The fire started in the pantry and
quickly spread to fue. Before the
fire department could be summoned
the blaze was menacing the entire
building. The firemen first bent their
efforts toward rescuing the guests.
One fireman, Nicholas Mooney, was
badly injured by being trampled on
by one of the fire horses. At the time
he was trying to untangle line OF
hose which had become tangled under
the horses feet. Mooney was treated
by DR.. Reginald n. Bennett, mayor
of this place.
That some of the Tenney House
guests did not lose their lives was
due to a great extent to the coolness
and presence of mind of two girls,
one aged thirteen, the other aged
seven, daughters of Mrs. Mary Lee.
The Lee girls were awakened by
screams shortly after 8 o'clock and
rushing into the hall found Mrs. EN-
ma K. Tenney, the propr'etress of
the hotel, cropping through dense
smoke. Mrs. Tenney shouted to the
girls to get the dinner bell and sound
an alarm to awaken the guests With
wet towels over their faces the Lee
girls went through the hotel banging
on pans and rousing the guests.
Six women and two men climbed
to the roof of q rear porch and were
rescued by the aid of extension lad
ders.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. c. Hilton and their
daughter, of Newark, were occupying
rooms on the third floor of the build
ing in the front. They were awakened
by the Lee girls. Hilton opened the
door of his room and was almost
overcome by the smoke. He helped
his wife and daughter to make their
way out on the roof. They laid
down with their faces fiat against the
roof until rescued with the aid of
extension ladders.
Henry Sickles, of New York, a Grip
pie, had given up hope OF escaping
and was lying in the hall on the sec
ond floor of the building when he was
discovered by Mrs. Tenney. She sum-
moned two of the firemen to his aid.
When the firemen arrived no trace
could be found of SiclSles in the hall
way. 1t was discovered that he had
crawled to the rocs and was just
about to jump when rescued by fire.

The building is a complete wreck.

K|NKEAD ASSERTS
HE WON'T QUIT IN
GROSSCUP'S FAVOR
Will Make Fight for State
Leader-Cong. Scully Says
He's Not After Honor.

Congressman Eugene f. Kinkead
and Thomas ]. Scully are apparently
at odds over the position of chairman
of the State Democratic Committee.
A special dispatch to the Star to-
day from Washington quotes Mr..
Kinkead as saying;
"I am not for Grosseup or anybody
else but myself. l am a candidate
for chairman of the State committee,
and | expect to be elected. Nobody
is going to scare, cajole or coax me
out of the race
This was his answer to report
that he would support State Chair
man Edward C. Grosscup for re-
election. Mr.. Kinkead refused to say
how many votes he had for the office.
or what members he expected would
vote for him.
Mr.. Scully was asked at his sum-
mer, home in Deal what he thought
of Congressman Kinkead's candidacy
and whether he believed the latter
would remain in the race.
'Of course, can't speak for Gene,
he answered. but l think he feels
the same way as 1 do was Mr..
Scully's reply. "Mr. Kinkead an
nounced himself as candidate for
the position when there was some
doubt as to whether Mr.. Grosscup was
n candidate. Now that Mr. Grosscup
is in the race, ] believe Mr.. kinkead
will be for him."
Mr.. Scully refuted rumors that have
been emanating from Washington
and elsewhere that he was a candi-
date to succeed Edward E. Grosscup,
the present chairman.
The congressman further declared
that he was for Grosscup as long as
the latter sought reelection, because
he believed the Gloucester man had
made an excellent State chairman.
When asked concerning the rumor
that he was candidate himself, Mr..
Scully said: 81 know there have
been rumors TO the effect that 1 am
a candidate, but you can say that |
am not. l believe that MIR. Grosscup
has made an excellent chairman and
that he should be unanimously NOM
mated again. / do not know how
some of the other State committee
men feel on the subject, but that is
nv attitude
