THE PERFECT BABY.

Sadie Hnchuan, aged r months, won the prize iu a New York baby show the other day over 15O compet itors for good looks, physical per lection and happy disposition. Sad ie vas adjudgsd the finest baby in the show of her age and was award ed the blue ribbon prize and admir- ing spectators contributed $25 which was placed in a savings bank to her credit.
 Sad to relate, the eugenics and hygenics can find no cause for boast inc in Sadie's case. Until a few months ago little Sadie would cer- tainIy have been classed as a most shamefulIy and pitifully neglected baby.

 This does not prove, by any man. ner of means, that there is any thing wrong in the plan of teaching sex hygiene or in adopting eugenic methods in caring children.

Threatens Suit Against
ROsevilIe Bank Directors
to Recover on Stock

Suit against the directors OF the
defunct Roseville Trust Company for
recovery of the value of five~shares
was threatened today by Harry e.
Roberts, of the Roberts Coal Com
pany, at 5S4 Orange street.
Mr.. Roberts says that an attempt
was made to sell him an additional
fifty shares belonging to William P.
Odell, the president, six weeks before
the bank collapsed. That makes him
think, so he asserts, that Mr. Odell
knew that the institution was insol-
vent and was therefore negligent in
not having taken immediate steps to
conserve the assets.
The fifty shares were offered to
him at $173 a share by e. C. Whit
man, OF the Intercity Land and Sc
curities Company of New York, Mr..
Roberts says. Raymond e. Smith,
who was the secretary and treasurer
of the trust company, and is now in
Jail in default of $4,000 bail, was
vice-president of the company.
ST told Mr.. Whitman" said Mr.
Roberts, that 1 was not in a posi-
ton to take up the shares, but re-
ferred him to a friend"
Mr.. Whitman denied today that he
had tried to sell the stock at any
time.

Supposed Maniac Gives
Battle to Policemen in
Second Precinct Station

A supposed manias battled with three
policemen In the Second precinct
police station today before he was
overpowered and placed in padded
cell. Upon investigation 1t was found
that the insane man was Joseph
Tonga, eighteen years old, tailor, of
2S Cutler street.
Policeman Patrick B.. Reilly, of the
Second precinct, met him in High
street this morning. Tonga. hatless
and coatless. was running along and
giving ear-splitting cries to the effect
that the world was coming to an end.
Reilly managed to make him pris-
oner. with the aid of two stalwart
laborers.
AS soon as Tonga was in the sta
tion-house he began to fight again.
Sergeant Fitch and Detective Thomas
Adubato and Reilly. all big men. had
their handsfull. A f1nger-nail of Fitch
was nearly torn off and Adubato was
cut in the face and kicked. Between
them they subdued Tonga.
Tonga had been seized with the at
tack in his home early In the morn
ing. He was rushed out of the house,
after terrifying the tenants, and dis
appeared until Reilly found him.

Surrounds Girl
Found Wandering in Crowd
of Christmas Shoppers

A pretty, but apparently half-witted
girl of eight years, spent the night
and all today at the Second precinct
police station.
The police thing that she was
brought to Newark from some other
city and deliberately abandoned in
the midst of the Christmas crowds in
Broad street yesterday afternoon.
She was found by Policeman Harry
Crawford and, when no one claimed
her, taken by him to the station
house.
No child answering hhr description
has been reported lost and this leads
to the supposition that she may have
been abandoned. She apparently is
able to hear what is said to her, but
she does not answer. There Is moth
ing on her clothes to indicate who she
is or from what city she came. She
is dressed In a black and white dress,
gray coat and brown skating cap.

IN XMAS CROWDS
Police and Store Detectives
Get Six for Alleged
Thefts.

A half dozen suspects picked up in
the Christmas shopping crowds by
lieutenants from headquarters and
store detectives were arraigned in the

him, two from department stores and
one from George Z. Hoagland, an
optician, of 81 Academy street, where
1t Is alleged he stole diamond scarf
pin. In the other stores, 1t is charged,
he got cuff links and a penknife and
diary. He admitted his guilt and
pleaded that he was unable to find
work and was driven to steal to OBJ
tain little money to pay his board
bill.
He was held in $10O bail on each
charge.
Sebastian Frenelone, seventeen
years old, of Comes street, was fined
$50 and placed on probation for term
of one year for the theft Of silk
muffler and a pair of gloves from a
Market street store. He was caught
by a woman detective employed in
the store He told the judge he had
been in the country only four weeks.
His excuse for taking the goods was
that he did not know the methods
of purchasing in the large stores and
had picked up the muffler and then
the gloves and was about to pay for
them at the latter department when
he was arrested.
John OConnor, sixty-six years old,
of Jersey City, pleaded guilty to
stealing 81 worth of goods from a de-
partment store. He was sent to the
penitentiary for three months.
Judge Hahn remanded Max Weiser,
eighteen years old, of 315 West 112th

could be investigated Lieutenant

shoppers on North Broad street. He
admitted that he had been arrested
q number of years ago in New York
for picking pockets, but protested
that he had reformed and was lead
ing an honest life now.
Ryan took him into custody and
communicated with the House of
Refuge on Randall's Island and found
out that Weiser was fugitive from
there. having violated his parole six
months ago. Parole officer Thomas
F. MacNulty appeared in court and
agreed to have Judge Hahn dispose
of the case.
George Nolan. of Philadelphia, and
George Thompson. of the Home hotel
in Market street, this city, both
former convicts. it is said. were
picked up by detectives as common
| thieves. James r. McDermit, repre-
senting them. refused to allow them
to make any explanation of what
they were doing in this city yester-
day. on the ground that 1t was the
| States obligation to prove their guilt
of being common thieves. Mr.. Nc
Dermit commended that if his clients
were held any man just out of Jail
could be re-arrested and sent back
| again for no cause. Both were re-
manded until tomorrow

though 1t is immaterial to leave or
cut out the printing mentioned. wish
to call your attention that the extra
coupons that l buy at the Stars office
some of them are printed with only
the number, thus being impossible for
me to send in all my coupons alike,
so l decided to cut out the printing in

my answer to mike A." was in line
with that. The only essential thing
about the coupons aside from the

Continued from FIRST PaEe.)


cause they did not want their confer
ence to become a debating society,""
IF the senator from Kansas thinks
he can split the Democratic party to
suit his own convenience and change
its policies as he desires, he is mis-
TAKEN" said Mr.. Owen. HE tried it
in the banking committee and failed"
MY allegation is that this bill has
been drawn In the INTERESTS of the
banks" continued Senator Brlstow;
that the Senator from Oklahoma is
largely interested in banking; that the
profits derived from this system by
the banks he is interested in will add
directly to his personal fortune, and
that he has voted to increase from 5
per cent. to 6 per cent. dividends paid
by the new regional banks on the
stock held by member banks"
Bristow's attack was based on
rule of Jefferson's manual of parlia-
mentary practise, that senator
should not vote on legislation in
which he was directly interested.
Bristow read a newspaper clipping
that purported to quote Senator Owen
as saying he had taken stock in q
new national bank to be organized In
st. Louis.
"Charges False" Says Owen.
Mr.. owen retorted that Br1stoW
charges were false and ridiculous"
Senator Owen said that twenty-four
years ago he had helped to organize
a little bank In Oklahoma" that he
still owned stock in the bank, and
twill own it until die"
THE allegations that my action on
this bill were influenced by the own
ership of stock in that little bank are
ridiculous" he said; more than that,
they are false and the senator knows
they are false"
Mr.. Bristow wound up by taking
fling at the recent dissolution of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company.
1.-THE attorney general has been able
to send up the market price of tele-
phone stock at a jump" he declared.
HE could send it down again just as
quickly. With the power the attor-
ney-general has under the laws which
he assumes to control and the power
the secretary of the treasury will have
under this new banking system we
will have a Capitalization of power
under Democratic administration that
Alexander Hamilton would have
blushed to assume"
