QUESTIONS POLICEMEN AS
TO YENTURING OFF BEATS

Patrolmen John Murray and
Charles Quinn were questioned last
night by Chief of Police Patrick j.
Burke concerning the report that
they had left their posts to visit a
dance In Goodwill hall Wednesday
night. They admitted having been
there. Chief Burke stated today he
was satisfied with the explanations
given as to why they had ventured
off their posts. One, he said, had
claimed he followed suspicious
character to the dance and remained
there a while. The chief claimed, in
speaking about the case today, that
an officer should not ordinarily go off
his post, but had that right II he was
after a criminal or trailing some
suspicious person. The officers in
question were lectured about the
duties of a policeman.

$1,000 More of Fire Department.
The original appropriation for the
fire department for 1913 was $20,-
600. That was increased to the
extent of $1,000 by transfer of
such an amount from the account of

for the school budget for next year,
the entire city budget will total

SAYRES ARE OFF
ON HONEYMOON
Sailed THIS Morning for Europe
Without Being Seen.
gpecini bp United Press Wire,


New York, Nov. 29.-With the
band playing and colors flying the
liner George Washington, of the
North German Lloyd line, steamed
away from her pier off Hoboken
shortly after 10 O'Clock today bearing
Mr.. and Mrs. Francis B. Sayre, who
was Miss Jessie Wilson, daughter of
the President, on their honeymoon.
To the very last the White House
bridal couple outwitted all newspa-
per men and photographers and sail
ed for Bremen without being photo
graphed or interviewed. The couple
remained lost to the public till just
before sailing, though President Will
son, his friends and relatives waited
patiently for them aboard the liner.
The President had spent the night
at the home of his old friend Col.
e. M. Host, and at $3.50 motored to
the Waldorf-Astoria, where he pick
ed up Miss Eleanor Wilson and DR..
Grayson, his naval aide. The party
proceeded at once to Hoboken, where
they went aboard the steamship. The
deck was crowded with a throng of
people who greeted the President
with cheers. He was a little puz.
zled when secret service men told
him that his daughter and son-in-law
had not yet appeared. With bis
party he went below to wait for
them. Sayre and his bride came
aboard about Ave minutes after the
President and eluded everybody. The
President remained for short time
and as he left the ship the band
struck lip Medelssohn's wedding
march. He attended the Army Navy
game this afternoon. He will go to
the theatre this evening and leave
for Washington at 1890 o'clock.

NABS
BOY DESPERATE
MacFarIane Most Clever and
Daring Thief in City,.

Edward MacFarlane, sixteen years
old, son of Douglas MacFarlane,
claimed by the police as one of the
cleverest and most daring boy crooks
in the city, was captured by Detective
Sergeant Lawrence A. Long yester-
day. He was wanted for holding up
and beating a milk dealer, robbing a
store, gambling and general mischief
making. Through being alert and
fleet of foot he succeeded in eluding
capture for several weeks. Mere
sight of policeman would cause
him to run for blocks and hide in
back yards, sheds and the like. There
will be no hearing as arrangements
have been made to send him back to
the State Home for Boys at James
burg today.
Young MacFarlane's latest esca-
pades included the theft of bread
and cake from a bakery shop at Oak
and Fayette streets, and of stealing
two bottles of milk from the son of
a milk dealer at Smith and Prospect
streets. He afterwards beat the
youth. Complaints were also made
that he was the leader of a mischief
making gang which operated about
the western section of the city, par
ticularly in Elm Oak and Prospect
streets, north of Smith street. He
was charged with annoying the
neighborhood of Oak and Fayette
streets with crap shooting and gen.
eral lawlessness.
Officer Longs capture Of the elu-
siye boy came as a big surprise to
the fugitive. 1t occurred when he
least expected it. He Is now a pris-
oner here and will probably be taken
to Jamesburg today.

LOSS OF WEALTH CAUSED
SUICIDE OF SWISS COUPLE

ZURICH, June 21.-Eugene Maggi,

because of too much money and too
little interest in life, as was first sup
posed. Maggi died because he had

his wife committed suicide because
she thought it her duty to die with
her husband. The explanation of the
double asphyxiation, it was learned
today, was revealed in two notes found
among Maggi's effects. One was a
letter from him to relatives, and the
other, written on the same sheet of
paper, was a note by Mrs. Maggi say
ing:
