SEPTEMBER
MORNE:DICT
BY POLICE
DEF|ED

September Morn" the famous
painting which caused New York and
Chicago to blush and finally had to
be draped with trouserettes. stirred up
a tempest in Atlanta Saturday when
H. S. Cole, of the Cole Book Com
pany, whitehall Street, defied the
sudden edict Of the police that the
beautiful maiden must not be ex-
posed to the vulgar gaze Of down
town shoppers.
For some days now the shy, lissome
damsel has lured the eyes of passers-
by to the book shop Window score
or more damsels, it should be said,
for copies hung everywhere make of
the window a regular bower of beau
ty unadorned.
Serene and untroubled the charming
young woman, brought into a trou-
bled life by the magic brush OF NJ,
Paul Chabas, the famous French ar
fist has gazed through her fifty or
more eyes into the hustle and hustle
Of Atlanta with a pensive gaze that
seemed to express longing for some
cool brook in placid Brittany.
Woman Clasps, Tells Police.
All unsuspecting, then, the maid
stood when Unexpectedly the blow
fell A woman shopper passing the
store took one glance at the fair form
-gasped in horror and notified the
police
Detective Shaw. who has an eye for
art as we'll as other things, was dis
patched to the scene. He viewed the
canvas with cold, calculating eye.
Yes. it was very, very beautiful, but
and the but" sealed the lady's fate
as far as the police were concerned.
Shaw notified Mr.. Cole that the
young woman would have to keep
more sheltered quarters. In Brittany
she could thus disport herself, yes
but on the main street of Atlanta, no.
Mr.. Cole was indignant He cited
art authorities TO show the canvas
was a masterpiece and that only
prudish. evil minds could see evil in
it. Shaw called up his superior, Act
ing Chief Jett.
For Vulgar Public? Never!
The Chief paid d formal call on
Miss September and branded her an
undesirable citizen-just as undesir-
able in Atlanta as in Chicago, New
York, Washington and other places.
For private inspection and appre-
citation she might pass, but for the
vulgar public, no.
Chief Jett ordered her eXiled Nj.
Cole referred her to Willis Everett,
chairman of the Carnegie Library
board of trustees which also censors
the movies. Mr.. Everett agreed with
Mr.. Cole that NJ. Chabas had per
formed an immortal feat when he
gave Miss September life, but and
there you are.
Il assuredly shall resist any order
10 remove September Morn from the
window" said Mr.. Cole. There was
CLINT of determination in his eyes.
That is a beautiful piece Of ar
tistry. There is nothing indecent or
suggestive about it. / do not under
stand that there is any ordinance
which can prevent me from display
ing it in the window. If there is.
will have to learn Of it in court.
"Mr. Shaw. one Of the city detec-
tives. told me that a woman Of some
society had complained to him Of the
picture. I told him nothing doing.
that the picture was going 10 remain.
He took it to Assistant Chief Jett and
the latter in turn, passed il on TO the
censors."

GRIMES ALLEGED
AGAINST MAN
FROM MONTANA
COLLECTS INSURANCE ON HIS
OWN LIFE BY SUBSTITUTE
ING A DUMMY

NEW YORK, Oct Charged with
conspiracy, arson and the, robbery Of
a grave, Arthur S. Hughes "a ranch
wner Of Forsyth, Mont, was arrest
ed here at the request of Sheriff Mo
sen Of Rosebud county Montana.
Hughes is charged with having en-
tered into a conspiracy with his wife
and man named Elliott, both of
whom, the police assert are under
arrest in Montana, to collect $4,000
insurance on his life.
According to the complaint, a man
named Craig was killed in Forsyth
about two and half months ago by
railroad train Hughes, it is al
legged, took Craig's body from the
grave, carted it to his home, placed
it in bedchamber and then set the
house on fire. The body, burned to
a crisp and unacceptable, was
found in the embers and Mrs. Hughes
went into mourning for her hus-
band Hughes, the complaint con
tinues disappeared
A few days later Mrs. Hughes mar
ried Elliott and put in claim for
the $4,000 insurance on Hughes life.
Sheriff Mosen believed the body
found in the ruins was not that of
Hughes and soon afterward arrested
them both while he investigated the
supposed death of Hughes.
Mosen and the insurance officials
learned that Hughes had come 70
New York and was in communication
with his supposed widow They mott
fled the New York police and de
teetives were sent out to find him.
After searching for weeks they traced
him to cheap lodging house on the
east side and found he was working
as a longshoreman. Today they ar
rested him at the entrance Of the

East Orange electrical contractor
when he met with the accident. The
contractor was awarded a contract
to rewire the plant Of the Eek con-
Germ and in carrying out the work
engaged Butterwei. who is an cleo
trician.
According to the plaintiffs declara-
tion he was working upon a scaffold,
when men employed by the Eek COM
pany began to raise a dynamo to
the ceiling. Before the dynamo could
be fastened something snapped and it
crashed to the planhing OF the scat
fold. The wooden structure crumbled
and Butterwei went down in the
debris. AS he fell the dynamo struck
him in the head.
Butterwei claims that his nose was
broken and his skull fractured and
otherwise was injured about the body.
He was in st. Michaels Hospital for
several weeks and has been unable
to work since the accident The ac-
ton is not brought under the en-
ployers' liability act. because the
courts in recent decisions have held
that accidents, where the person hurt
was not in the employ of the person
he claims caused the injury, do not
come under this statute Butterwei
was not employed by the Eek firm.
Butterwei was married but short
time when he met with the mishap.

quilted by struck jury last night in

testify for the State and the cases
against them were accordingly nolle
pressed. Their testimony was APP
parently an effort to prove that NC
C1uskey had misread number of the
ballots cast in the Republican pri-
mary box, though there was no evil
dence that he had done so with any
intent to defraud any candidate.

struction, John Unsworth and Frank
Enderlin, members of the Board of
Freeholders, entered the New Jersey

year. Their imprisonment followed
the action of the Errors Court in
affirming their conviction.
The convicts were brought to the
prison by Sheriff Ingersoll in an au-
tomobile. After reaching Trenton the
car was driven quickly to the prison
doors and the two men were soon be-
hind the bars. They blanched per-
ceptibly as the great iron doors Of the
old prison changed shut behind them

Seek Pay from Township
for Fowl Killed by Dogs

PASSAIc, Dec. 3.-The value of
chickens killed by dogs was the sub
ject of discussion in the meeting of
the Acquackanonk Township Commit
tee last night, when bills for fowl
killed were presented by Herbert r.
Sipp, of Athena, and Herbert v. Ac-
herman, of the Botany district. Mr..
Sipp demanded $50 for the loss of
forty chickens which he valued at
$125 each. Mr.. Alderman asked
thirty-five cents each for fifty-three
chickens or a total of 1856. Mr.. Sipp
brought along two witnesses to verify
his statements. He said dog killed
his chickens on November 26 last. Mr..
Alderman said his chickens were
killed on the night of June 10, this
year.
George J. Schmidt, chairman of the
committee, questioned the value of
Mr.. Sipp's chickens and remarked that
1t might be fortunate for the town
ship that a $4,000 blue ribbon prize
cockerel owned by Clifton man was
not included In the lot killed by dogs.
The question of the legal status of
the claim was referred to the town

URGES HARMONY
IN LEGISLATION
Former Governor Stokes Asks
Minority to Aid Democrats
for Better Laws.

TRENTON, Dec. 3.-Slmultaneously
with the Democratic Assembly
caucus. or conference. yesterday, al
the State House came a statement
from former Governor Edward
C. Stokes. setting forth the views oil
the Republicans as to the problems
which the Legislature that convenes
on January IS will have to face. Mr..
Stokes said, in part:
1.-THE people have given tie Demo-
cratic party control of the State in
| both the legislative and executive de-
partments. That party, therefore. will
be primarily responsible for legisla-
ton. 1t will confess its incompetency
if 1t fails to meet and solve the prob
lens demanding settlement. The Re-
publicans, on the other hard, cannot
escape their responsibility. They are
in a strong position and their 1atriot-
ism can best be shown By aiding in
the passage of measures that are wise
and by strongly opposing measures
that are unwise. They can act as a
balance wheel. The Democratic adj
ministration is entitled to a fair trial
and an opportunity to meet the ex-
pectations of the people, regardless
be hampered by purely partisan
tactics"
"A readjustment of our educational
system to meet the demands of the
time Is one the Republican minority
can present with vigor. The impor-
lance of a potable water supply under
State direction, q policy which I in
augurated as Governor. is felt more
keenly today then it was a decade
ago.
THE election laws need a thorough
revision in the interest of simplicity
and efficiency. A large number of
voters were disfranchised under the
present complicated system, and the
recent frauds in the last primaries
show its inadequacy to preserve an
honest ballot. The Independent voter
today is practically barred from par
ticipating in the primaries, and the
expense of our elections and pri-
maries combined are such as to de-
mand legislation to remedy these
manifest ills.
1.-THE tremendous increase in local
taxation and municipal Indebtedness
is nation wide, and New Jersey is
suffering from this tendency to ex-
cessive public expenditures. Our
cities are mad spenders. In five years,
from 1907 to 1912, municipal bond
sales nearly doubled. In 1904 they
aggregated $3.50, 100000. In 1912, $780,
551 900, and this does not include sales
to foreign investors.
"Burdensome tax rates and contin-
uous bond issues are straining the
credit of our municipalities.
There are numerous legislative re-
forms that need enactment. The Re-
publican minority could do much to
win the confidence of the people by
acting as a unit on the right side of
all public questions"
