HOLD SALESMAN AS THIEF
OF PAPER WORTH S CENTS
Gave Boy $3.50 for 1t, 1t Is
Charged.

Justin II. Game, a New York paper
salesman, was arraigned at the Third
Precinct Court today on the COM
plant of the Celluloid Company. It
was alleged that he stole tissue
paper worth five cents. Caine, it is
said, had a deeper motive than a
mere desire to secure the paper.
Judge Hahn postponed the case until
Monday to allow Edward @. Keas-
hey. counsel for thecompany, time to
prepare another complaint.
Game was arrested Thursday aft
ernoon after he had received a few
sheets of tissue paper from a boy
employed in the plant. 1t is said he
had requested the boy the day previ-
Gus to get the paper. Two plain
clothesmen, were waiting when he
left the factory, and they placed him
under arrest. The boy had told his en-
ployers of the request for paper and
they had notified the police. The
lad declared that he received $1.50
for the material.
Julius Feldman, counsel for Game,
commended that there was no theft,
because the boy had been given the
paper by his employers and told to
hand it to Game. 1t was on this
account that the case was laid over
until Monday. The salesman stated
that he wanted the paper only to
make comparison with what he was
selling.

IFrom a stan Correspondent.1

ed in the suggestion of the appoint
ment of John r. Mott, of Montclair,
as minister to China
DIR. Minton said he understood that

BLACK
IS DEAD At TROY
Former CHIEF Executive of New
York Succumbs to Heart
Disease.

TROY. y. Y, March 22.-Frank S.
Black, formerly Governor of New
York, died at his home here early to-
day of heart disease, after several
days illness.
Sixty acres of stones" to use the
words he once used himself to pic
ture his birthplace, describes the
farm near Limington. Maine, where
Mr.. Black was porn March 8, 1858.
on this farm. where he did his
share of work in helping to maintain
the large family, for there were
eleven children, the boy lived until
he was II years old. securing such
training as he could in haphazard
way at the district school.
In 1871, when Is years old, and with
$50 in his pocket. earned by teaching
school, he entered Dartmouth College
BY teaching he supported himself
through his college course, and, des-
pite the fact that much of his time
was spent in the schooI-room-in his
only ten weeks-he was graduated in
1875.
From boyhood. though he had been
willing to study law, Black had had a
predsposition against personally en-
tering the field of politics. He MAIN
tanned this attitude until 1893. after
having spent the interim in practise
in Troy. Then politician entered
suit which Black had expected to
have all to himself, seized a major
position in the case for a friend, and
caused the young attorney to deter
mine that he would himself have a
hand in politics.
Carrying out his intentions, he ran
for Congress in 1895 and was elected.
Two years later came his election to
the governorship of New York.
After having failed to be renom-
mated, Mr.. Black went to New York
city and there entered the law firm
that became known as Black, Oieott
& Gruter. While there he was en-
gagged as counsel for the defense in
such important cases as those against
Roland Niolinen, Richard Garfield
and Cassie Chadwick. He was also
the Equitable Life Assurance So
cietys counsel when the company
was investigated by the Legislature
For eight years Black remained
with the firm, and then he Withdrew
to form the firm of Black Peck.
In 1904, at the Chicago convention
MIR. Black nominated Theodore Roose-
Welt for President. Three years later,
at Concord, n. H.. so embittered had
he become against Roosevelt that he
made a speech in which he decried the
President as much as he had preVi-
ously praised him.
The family which survives the late
Governor Black consists of the widow,
formerly Miss Lois Hamlin, of Prov
incetown, Mass, and one son, Arthur.
