Vice-ChanceIlor Stevens Directs
That Road Be Disposed of,
Despite Protests.

Nice-Chancellor Stevens today or
dered the sale of the New Jersey and
Pennsylvania railroad despite the fact
that Cortlandt Parker, jr., of this
city and Alan H. Strong, of New
Brunswick, who were in court, had
given the opinion that Fred Y. Pit
ney, receiver for the road, could use
the proceeds of receivers certificats
to keep the road in operation. The
earnings, it is said, We're running far
below the running expenses of the
road.
Corwin Howell, representing Mr..
Pitney. appeared before the vice.
chancellor today, asking him to still
further define the order made by him
last Tuesday giving Mr.. Pitney the
right to issue $4,000 worth OF receiv-
ers' certificates, Mr.. Howell adj
mitted to the court that the road was
not at present paying operating eX-
penses. Mr.. Parker and Mr.. Strong
were called upon by the vice-chan-
cellor to give their view OF the mat
ter. They were both of the opinion
that the road could be kept up but
the court was unable to see things in
the same light and decided otherwise,
declaring that in his opinion the road
should be sold unless the consent of
all the shareholders not to take this
action could be obtained.
The vice-chancellor also refused an
application of Mr.. Howell that Mr.
Pitney be allowed to sell certain fire
losses until the liability of the road
could be established.

NEW STAMPS ARE
SOUGHT BY MANY.
PrecanceIed Mail Rule Goes into
Effect Today-Will Ex-
pedite Delivery.

A large number of applications fon
precancelled stamps, the latest inno-
walton of the postoffice department,
which went into effect today. have
been received by Postmaster Frank j.
Book. Although the new order be-
came effective today, no stamps Will
be issued from the local postoffice UNI
til tomorrow.
The precancelled stamps are great
advantage to both the public at large
and the postal employees. They per-
NIT of immediate distribution to the
various States to which the letters are
addressed and do not have to undergo
the delay caused by cancellation. IL

stamps are correctly sorted out in

the local postoffice for mailing, they
will be started on their journey i'm
mediately.
Under the present order the pre-
cancelled stamp can-be used only on

tai authorities that If their use be-
comes popular they will be authorized

1000 will be sold at a time Stamps

above and the other below the name.
The new stamps will be good only on
transient second, third and fourth
class mail, when presented for mail.

The precancelled mail should be de-
livered so that it will permit of an
easy examination. The mail should
be separated in cities. counties and
States, to expedite delivery and ia

soon be placed in general use if there

Schmidt's Parents Say He
Is Hereditarily Abnormal

SCHAFFENBURG, Germany. Sept.
1e.-The parents of the Rev. Johannes
Schmidt, confessed murderer of Anna
Aumuller, declared today that the
young priest is hereditarily abnor-
NAL. Several members of the family
are confined IN asyluIns for the de-
mented, and there have been four
suicides in the family within five
years.
The letters sent home by the
young priest arc said by his relatives
to be written in O. confused and hazy
style. Local physicians consider that
the murderer's perverted instincts
were accentuated by forced study.
1t is known that he resorted to
forged certificates even during his
boyhood, and by this means was en-
abled to enter the classical high
school at Mainz, where he was edu-
Gated. He was arrested and charged
with tho offense but released by the
court as weak-minded and irrespon-
sible

Newarker Arrested in Capital
Known to the Police Here

After keeping out of the tolls of the
police for a number of years John
Mcclellan. formerly of Newark, and
known to the police of this city as a
clever crook, is under arrest in Wash
ington, with two other men, charged
with swindlng tourists to that city.
According to the local polio authori-
ties Mcclellan has been arrested here
several times. but on each occasion
he successfully beat the charge
against him. His last arrest here
was made by Lieutenants Farrell and
Ryan about three years ago, when he
was picked up for the theft of gold
watch several years previous, but
when the case came to trial the COM
plainant did not appear.
His arrest in Washington with his
companions, who gave their names as
: Y. B. Daubney, of Boston, and Henry
Wood, of New York, was the result
of the activities of the police, who
claim that gang of confidence
operators have been robbing tourists
to the city for several months.

TOWN FIGHTS FOR
BANKRUPTS' GOODS
Claim Heating and VentiIating
Material, as Firm Failed Be-
fore Completing Contract.

Argument on the claim OF the town
of Meriden, Conn, on special $4,000
fund, included among the assets of
the bankrupt Earle & Cooke Co., was
held before Bankruptcy Referee Ed
win C. Adams in the Bankruptcy
Court here today but no decision was
made.
George A. Clark, representing the
Connecticut town, declared that by
the contract which existed between
the town and the Earle C Cooke Co.,
$500 worth of heating and venti-
lating apparatus delivered on the
site of the new Meriden High School
became the property of the town,
when the contractors went into bank
ruptcy
The bankrupt firm had the contract
to install the heating and ventilating
plant in the high school. The con-
tracts between the two, according to
Attorney Clark, provides for the town
taking possession of all the material
delivered by the contractors to the
school site in the event of their be-
coming insolvent or failing to fulfill
the contract.
Nathan Bilder, of Bilder & Bilder,
counsel for W. Locke Rockwell, trus-
tee IN bankruptcy, appeared TO OPP
pose the claim of the New England
town in an attempt to save the ma
terial equity in behalf of the credit
ors of the bankrupts.
BY the mutual agreement of all
the parties in the affair the material
was sold by the trustee to the new
contractors on the school Job and
$500 of the proceeds of the sale was
set aside until title shall be deter
mined by the referee.

old, who was his housekeeper, as a
material witness on the counterfeit
ing charge preferred against her en-
ployer.
After the finding of the copper
counterfeiting plate In Schmidt
room, the detectives ransacked the
priests personal papers and dlscoV-
cred a receipted bill for rent having
been paid by George Miller for an
apartment at 516 West 1S4th street,
and there the detectives allege they
found a complete outlet for the man
ufacture of Photographic prints such
as might be used in making counter
felt bills. Here also the detectives
told of having found the half burned
parts of several impressions of a $40
gold certificate. Examination drs-
closed that they may have been print
ed from the plate found earlier in the
night in the rooms of Schmidt at the
rectory of ST. Joseph's Church, where
he was acting as a priest at the time
of his arrest for the murder of Anna
Aumuller.
In reply to questions put to him by
Inspector Faurot, DR.. Muret is alleged
to have said that he had been
in counterfeiting operations with
Schmidt. In the same breath he cried
that he was sorry he had ever met the
priest.
While Schmidt slept In his cell in
the Tombs, few blocks away, igno-
rant of the arrest of Muret, the de-
tectives questioned the dentist for
hours this morning concerning his re-
lations. with the confessed murderer OF
Auna Aumuller.
"Does Muret or Miller admit know
ing the Aumuller girl? the newspa-
per man asked Inspector Faurot.
YES" was the reply.
Have you any evidence that tends
to show that Muret or Miller visited
the Bardhurst avenue house with
Father Schmidt and the Aumuller
girl?"
1T won't go into that"
Where did Muret meet the Aumul-
Ter girl?"

CRUSADERS AFTER
SEPTEMBER MORN

Postcard dealers throughout the
State are being warned by Adolphus
II. Corwin, general secretary of the
New Jersey Association for the Sup
preston of Vice and Imposture, to
discontinue the sale and distribution
of the card entitled, September
Morn" based on the decision of the
attorney general of the United States.
Many of these cards are on sale in
Newark, several have been posted in
the local Office, and complaints have
been received by Mr.. Corwin for some
time. This card has been the sub
ject of much controversy and in or
der to determine it's classification he
appealed to the Federal authorities.
He has received a communication
from the office of the attorney-gen-
eral stating September Morn" Is
held unavailable under section 212 OF
the criminal code of March 4, 1909,
amended by the act of March 4, 1911.
According to this ruling any person
found guilty of circulating or dis
posing of or aiding in the circulation
or disposition of anything declared
by this section to be unavailable
shall be fined not more than 5000
or imprisoned not more than five
years, or both
In suppressing this and all other
questionable cards Mr., Corwin states
he is guided entirely by the decisions
of the Federal authorities and not by
personal opinion. This obviates all
local controversy on the question OF
what is, and what is not, obscene
Storekeepers are being warned as to
the classification of this card and
their liability in continuing its sale
and distribution.
Several local dealers in post cards
today asserted that they had not been
notified by Mr.. Corwin to discontinue
the sale of September Morn" postals
One dealer declared that Mr.. Corwin
informed him week ago that he was
seeking authority from the postal off,
GERS at Washington to stop the sale
of the cards. This dealer and the
others declared they would continue
the sale of the cards in question until
they were sure that 1t was violation
of the law to do so. The local federal
ceived any notice prohibiting the sale
of these postals.
at may be against the postal laws
to mail September Morn" said one
dealer, but when we sell the card
we have no means of knowing
whether or not the purchaser intends
TO send it through the mail. I, for
one, am perfectly willing to diseon-
tinue the sale of these cards If the
authorities declare such sales are
Illegal. But they will have to stop all
dealers from selling them, and not
show discrimination in prohibiting us
and letting the sale of such cards con-
tinue in department stores"
