Suicide Actress, Victim
of Mental Ailment, Was
Niece of Newark Woman

Mrs. Christian W.. Feigenspan. of So
Lincoln park, said today that Mrs.
Electia Rule, an actress, who COM
mitted suicide in her apartment at $40
West 18th street, New York, on Sat-
urday, was her niece. A note was
left for Mrs. Feigenspan by Mrs. Rule.
Mrs. Rule was born in st. Louis"
said Mrs. Feigenspan. "She lived in
Cincinnati after her marriage, but she
was divorced. Her husband and q
son are now living there. BY an agree
ment between her and her husband
the son remained with her father.
Mrs. Rule came to New York about
ten years ago for the purpose of TAX
ing up theatrical work. She was as
ISOLATED with the Frohman people in
small way for a time, but her con-
stitution was such as to prevent her
continuing. She was a high strung
nervous woman. believe that her
brooding over her separation from her
son caused her to become mentally
unbalanced. She often threatened to
end her life. I think the idea of sui
eide became q mania with her"
The funeral will probably be in St.
Louis.

DENTISTS GOLD
LURE FOR THIEVES
Four Offices Are Robhed-Be-
Iisve Gang Is Operating
in City.

Burglars, specializing in dentists
offices, were at work IN this city yes
terday. They broke into and robbed
four offices. making off with gold
valued at s120. In each instance the
burglars picked out offices that were
located on the second floor. That the
robberies were committed by the
same gang is shown by the fact that
the manner of gaining entrance to
the places was identical, the doors
being forced with q jimmy.
The places entered were those of
DR.. Richard F. Doran, 1886 Broad
street; DR.. w. c. Richmond, 800
Broad street: DR.. John C. Day, 857
Broad street, and the offices of the
dental firm of Tantum & Gilchrest,
472 Broad street.
In each place the burglars searched
particularly for scrap gold in filings.
In DR.. Doran's office they found SIS
worth; in Tantum & Gilchrest's, gold
valued at $25, and in each of the
others smaller amounts. In DR.. Days
office the burglars found the outer
door of the safe had been left I'M
locked. They made an attempt to
rifle the strongbox and did succeed
In forcing open the door, but found
nothing of value.
Detectives who were, detailed on the
case to make an investigation found
nothing that would lead to the iden-
tiflcation of the thieves. They left
no clue.

MAYOR FOR FATHER
AND SON MOVEMENT
Declares 1t a Good Thing, but
Won't Issue Proc
lamation.

Mayor Haussling today sent a let
ter to Augustus v. Hamburg, presi-
dent OF the Board of Trade, in re-
Spouse to a letter received by him
from Mr.. Hamburg and other citi-
zens asking this city's executive to
issue proclamation calling the at
tention of the public to the FEATHER
and Son" movement.
In his letter the mayor declares
that while he is in sympathy with
the movement to promote a more
intimate relationship between fathers
and their sons, he does not see the
necessity OF issuing public procla-
nation at this time.
The mayors letter is as follows:
'It gives me pleasure to record my
sympathy with this movement, and
while 1 do not deem a general proc
lamation or address to the people OF
Newark a proper means of express
sion at this time and under these
conditions, would be glad to have
you make such use of this letter as
you may think desirable to promote
the end in view.
ut is true that some of US fathers,
absorbed in business or burdened
with other cares, do not always give
these boys the attention they de-
serve. Letting the boy bring himself
mp is bad plan for both father and
son. The boy needs the fathers COM
radeship and the father needs the
sons comradeship, and II during the
coming year the fathers in the city
could, by giving little thought to
the matter, devote some time to the
cultivation of proper relations with
their boys. the result would be OF
great benefit, not only to them, but to
the whole community.
Il wish you every success in the
movement and / trust that the sug-
gestion will be taken up widely dur
ing the coming year"
The Father and Son Movement
had its origin in Cleveland, where
Mayor Newton d. Baker issued pub
lie proclamation on the proposition.
Letters were sent to the mayors of
more than five hundred cities in the
United States calling the attention of
the chief executives to the Importance
of the movement and asking their CO.
operation.
The letter received by Mayor
Haussling from the committee of To-
cal citizens was signed by Mr.. Ham
burg, Judge Simon Hahn, Judge Pat
rick J. Dolan, Ivan p. Flood, secretary
of the boys department of the Y. M
G, A.; Probation Officer John Cas-
coyne, Secretary j. Leonard Mason, OF
the Playground Commission; Richard
A. Hartshorne, secretary of the Big
Brothers Movement. and Henry H,

Nicholas La Vecchia Is
Expected to Be Named as
Playground Board Head

While there is not an inkling as to
who will be the successor OF Algernon
T. Sweeney as playground commits
sioner. 1t is understood that Commits
sioner Nicholas La Vecchia will sue
coed him as president of that body
when 1t organizes tho first of the
year. 1t Is said that two of the pres
ent members Of the board are In favor
of Mr.. La Vecchia for the position.
Then, too, the general belief seems
to be that he is entitled to the presi-
dency owing to the fact thath Is term
as commissioner expires next year.
Commissioner Charles A. MacCall's
name had also been mentioned in con-
nection with the presidency. but as
Mr.. MacCalls' term does not expire
for four years La Vecchia's chances
seem to be the better. The latter Is a
Republican politically and is a prac-
Using lawyer.
When the commissioners were ap-
pointed last year Mr.. Sweeney was
designated for one year, Mr.. La
Vecchia for two years, Bernard NJ.
Stanley, Jr., for three years, Milton
Lowry for four years and Mr.. MacCall
for five years. Mr.. Stanley resigned
during the year, Bernard j. Owens
being named In his place. The latter
will serve out Mr.. Shanley's unexpired
term. The new commissioner who will
be named by the mayor will be APP
pointed for q term of five years.

Brother Set Fire to Crib,
Receivers; Leaves Hospital


One-year-old Angelina Guarino who
narrowly escaped death when her
young brother Tony accidentally set
fire to her crib, was today taken from
the City Hospital to her home at %
Cutler street, by her parents. The
child had been at the hospital since
December 9 suffering from burns
about the face, arms and body. AL
though at the time of her admittance
to the hospital 1t was trought she
would not recover. she gradually re-
sponded to the treatment admins
tered and when she left the hospital
today scarcely a mark remained to
show where she had been burned.
Angelina was cooling in her crib on
December while her brother Tony
was playing about the kitchen. Mrs
Guarino had gone into the hallway
to speak to neighbors. A piece Of
paper attracted Tony's attention and
he stuck it into the open front of the
stove. AS it ignited he carried It to
the crib for his sister to see. He held
It too near the wooden blanket and in
a moment Angelina was enveloped In
flames. Mrs. Guarino rushed into the
room when she heard the little ones
screams, and extinguished the blaze.

CONSERVATION OF
RESOURCES URGED
Newark Bait and Fly Club Hears
Lecture by Richard E.
FolIett.

Increased activity toward the con-
servation of natural resources was
urged by Richard e. Follett. director
of the Detroit Geological Society, In a
lecture given in the Washington
Theatre under the auspices of the
Newark Bait and Fly Club yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Follett gave examples
of the results following prodigal use
of the resources OF forest and stream.
and contrasted them with conditions
in Germany. where the conservation
policy has been perfected. The lee
turer spoke against the practice OF
polluting streams.
Unusual information on hunting
and fishing for big quarry was I'M
parted by the lecturer. Several NOV
Ing picture films illustrated the lee
ture. These depicted remarkable
scenes OF trout and salmon fishing,
big game hunting, and of log driving
and lumber rolling in the timber
belts.
Charles T. Champion told of the ef-
forts Of the local bait and fly club In
stocking the fish and game reserves
of the club at Andover Junction, N.
J.. and of tho work that had been
done by the club on oths- streams
and forests in the State.
A feature of the entertainment was
a humorous film entitled wild
Beasts at Large" which depicted the
fun following an escape by animals
of circus. The Royal Hawaiian
Sextet" gave selections of native
Hawaiian songs.
Mr.. F'ollett is a lecturer OF consid-
cradle note and an authority on zoo
logical subjects. The local club had
been trying to arrange for the New
ark lecture for nearly q year.

M J. A. Coles Would Give
81 900 at Once to Buy
Property.

Ata2r. ]. Alderman Coles, who offered
facing Branch Brook Park as a
SiSS to the Newark Museum for a
Hiding site, today wrote to John
Cotton Dana. the librarian, a letter in
n answer to the museums refusal of the
property. He offered to subscribe $1,000
to a fund for purchasing a site, and
promised an additional $1,000 If the
building itself is begun by July / next.
The letter follows:
II have received your courteous note
declining the acceptance of my proffer
as a gift of the lots facing Branch
Brook Park onp account of their dis
lance from the centre of the city and
trolley cars.
"As a recent editorial tersely says:
THE Art Museum established for
Newark and located in the Public
Library building will never be a
museum or attain any Importance un-
til a proper edifice is built to contain
the collection. 1t will not attract
an identity of it's own. The
erection of a building will be the real
beginning of an art pruseum. 1t will
be q visible, tangible evidence that
there is such an institution in Newark
and the collection will begin to grow.
Private collectors OF art Will take
pride in enriching the collection with
art objects, and many Of the master
pieces now in local private galleries
will eventually come into possession
of the museum
With what money you now have in
the treasury, it would seem that you
could soon obtain an eligible corner
plot or site, with light on all sides.
not less than 100 or more feet square,
on which to erect a suitable fireproof
building of terra Gotta, brick and iron.
For such I am willing to subscribe
