MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF AUTO
OF BANKRUPT TRACED TO BIRD

Referee Adams at last knows what
became of that mysterious Coffin
car" A little BIRD took it." That's
what Mrs. Josephine M Coffin told
the referee and Nathan Bilder in the
Bankruptcy Court yesterday after
noon, and 1t seems likely that she's
right. Referee Adams thinks SO, any
way, because he told Attorney Bilder
that he Better subpoena this Bird and
find out about the whole thing. Now
Attorney Bilder says he will sub
poena the Bird to appear IN court
on Tuesday, November %.
The whole mysterious affnir re-
wolves around the Coffin home, In
Harrison avenue, Westfield. William
Fl. Coffin, formerly a tire dealer at SS
William street, under the name Coffin
Rubber Company, became insolvent
and w Locke Rockwell was appoint
ed receiver, with Mr.. Bilder as his
attorney
A few days prior to the insolvency,
however, Coffin had transferred his
automobile to his wife as security
for a loan, he says. The auto was In
the garage In the rear of their home
at the time. Nobody ever dreamed
that Swackhammer & Bird, OF ram
field, Mrs. Collins counsel, knew OF
the cars disappearance.
A. few days later Coffin went to
clean up the machine so he could take
1t out the next day, which was sun
day. After finishing his cleaning ne
locked the garage door and went into
the house. He wanted to go to town
a few hours later and went out 10
crank up the car. He didn't though,
he says, because 1t wasn't there.
He asked his wife where it was and
she told him 1t was for the best that
he didn't know where 1t went to. All
this he told to Referee Adams IN
the Bankruptcy Court last Thursday.
The referee wanted to know some
moro about that car, so Attorney
Bilder subpoenaed Mrs. Coffin TO tell
what happened to the car. She ap-
peared yesterday and told her story;
When she found out her husband
had been "closed up" she said she

FILED BY CLER|CS
Washington Priest Deprecates
Action of Directors to Thanks
giving Day Services.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1e.-Mon-
signor Russell, rector of ST. Patricks
church. here, was interviewed yester-
day on the action of number OF
mont Catholic clergymen OF this city,
who went on record as protesting
against the special Thanksgiving Day
service at st. Patrick's being given
an official" character. President
Wilson has been invited to attend the
mass which also will be attended by
all the pan-American diplomats from
the various legations.
Monsignor Russell said:
at am very sorry that exception is
taken by anyone especially by min
listers of the gospel, to celebration
which has for it's object peace. and
GOODWILL to men,"
THE purpose of the Pan-American
celebration is to bring together promi-

for the purpose of fostering friendly
sentiments among them. 1t is not a
diplomatic celebration, neither IL it

IT am not responsible for the views

claim that this celebration is now the
official celebration of Thanksgiving in
our national capital. There is no such
thing as national Thanksgiving eel

contrary, an occasion when the re-

may be cast off, when men may meet
as friends.
president Taft saw the good that
would result from such celebration.
and always encouraged me by his

"At the first celebration the secre-
tary of State, Mr.. Knox, asked me at
the dinner to make the celebration an.

the Latin-A American diplomatic corps,
Mr.. de la Barra, reiterated the re-
quest.
81 cannot understand why exception
should be taken to the Presidents at
tending services in a Catholic church.,

GUMMERE SCORES
GRAND JURY LEAKS
Chief Justice Says Secrets Have
Become Public Prop
erty.

Chief Justice William S. Gummere
gave the second September grand
Jury a strong reminder late yesterday
afternoon that there must be no leaks
of grand jury secrets, intimating that
the practise, which has become prev
alent In grand inquests, must cease.
The chief justice also intimated in
no uncertain terms that 1t had come
to his ears that ma recent case pres
sure had been brought to bear on a
member of a grand Jury to turn aside
from his sworn duty and act in such
manner as to prevent an indictment
being found.
While no names were mentioned by
the chief justice, 1t is understood he
referred to the fact that no indict-
ment has been found against Fred
erick r. Hasselman, arrested on Oc-
, tober IL last for alleged embezzle-
ment in connection with some real
estate transactions of the Llewellyn
Realty Company, William e. Gilmore

In discussing the question of grano

| in generalities and did not specify
whether he meant the present body OF
those that had served in the past
rather intimating, however, that the
latter was the case.
The chief Justice was very serious II
| his remarks to the jurors and they
likewise seemed deeply impressed BY
his remarks. He said in part:

a protection for the innocent and 6
weapon against the guilty. If any
of the members allow this secrecy Il
be disregarded he violates his oatl
and becomes not servant, but al
enemy of the people,
Justice Gummere added that new
members sometimes failed to see tn,
importance of the secrecy of the pro
ceedings.

said, who talks about a case is {

Many Privations.
Probably no country on earth has
lured so many people to ruin and de-
struction, in proportion to the num-
bers visiting it, as Alaska has done
in many of the great gold rushes
which have taken place in recent
years. The writer, during three sea-
sons spent in that country and In
trips extending from its southernmost
portions to the Arctic shores. has per-
sonally been an eyewitness OF many
pitiful scenes there. The time has
already arrived when fast steamers
make pleasure trips during summer,
and convey tourists in comfort along
the southern coasts Of Alaska, though
some of the finest fjords and scenery
on earth. But probably none of these
luxurious travellers has any idea OF
the privations suffered by many OF
the old-time pioneers who followed
this route on their way to the new
Eldorado. Nor can they hope to real
lie what a winter is like within the
Arctic circle. Mr.. Il. w. Service has
more accurately described this than
any other writer in the following
splendid lines:
The winter! the brightness that blinds
you.
The white land locked tight as a drum.
The cold fear that follows and finds you.
The silence that bludgeons you dumb.
The SHOWS that are older than history.
The woods where the weird shadows
slant,
The stiffness. the moonlight. the mys-
terry.
I've babe 'em bood-bye-but I can't.

as the Yukon, or many others In Alas.
ka, when the pent-up waters burst
their way in spring through many
miles of icy letters. with an accompa-
niment of appalling noises which be-
wilder the onlooker. Or again, let the
traveller gaze a while at some spot
where one of the huge glaciers ends
abruptly in the sea, towering aloft
above the waters. Here vast masses
Of ice constantly fall off, drift aim
lessly about, and form continual
source OF menace to unwary mariners.
The photographs which accompany
this article were taken recently by a
friend who travelled part OF the way
along the coast of Alaska with the
writer, and owing to their excellence
they convey a good idea of prevailing
conditions and scenery in the dark
