ty-fourth annual Changers picnic at

on the grounds. The extra police

were compelled TO close up and get
off the grounds.
Several organizations held meet
ings on the grounds during the after
noon. George S. Cloud, past master
of the Massachusetts State Grange,
addressed a large audience on the
BEST Principles of Farming" and
pointed out how larger and better
crops could be obtained under the
conditions that prevail in these sec
tons.
The suffragettes and anti-suf-
fragettes were much in evidence. The
Montclair branch of the Women's
Suffrage league had a large wagon
in the centre of the grounds. from
which speeches were made by Mrs
Nellie Husk Slayback, Mrs. Alfred
Diller, Mrs. Frank II. Davis and Mrs.
Frederick Colvin, first vice president
of the New Jersey Equal Suffrage
Association. About 300 feet away the

located in local pawnshops, and will
be returned to their owners.
Schwartz has told the police of where
he disposed of a gold-mounted walk
ing stick presented to Mayor Lang
and which was greatly priced by his
relatives.
Altogether the loot stolen from the
Lang home was valued at about 500,
and the police say that the thieves
never realized more than $50 on all
of it,
Schwartz, who has a criminal
record, having been convicted Of
breaking into a clothing store in
Washington street near Market street
in 1910, was employed by number of
wealthy residents in South Broad
street as a night Waterman.
Acting Chief Cordially stated that
he was sure the prisoner had
burglarized other residences, but that
he would not admit having done so.

Destroyer PrebIe at Golden
Gate Watching for MazatIan,
Owned by Germans.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21-The
United States torpedo boat destroyer
Preble took station today south
west of Alcatraz Island, commanding
the inne entrance to the Golen Gate.
Until further Notice her mission will
be to see that the tramp steamer
Mazatlan, now under the Mexican
flag, but owned by the German ship
ping firm of Frederick Jebsen & Com
pany. does not put to sea with 500
tons of sacked coal. which she still
has on board
The Mazatlan made informal appli-
cation for clearance papers yester-
day and was refused. Evidence taken
before Collector Davis showed that
the coal was the property of the Ger
man government and had been loaded
aboard the Mazatlan by direction of
DR.. Simon Reimer, surgeon of the
German cruiser Leipzig for transfer
to the Leipzig at sea.
Today the Mazatlan again applied
for clearance papers, this time on
verbal assurance that the ownership
of the coal had changed hands. 1t is

which is a regular port of call for the
Mazatlan. Clearance will be refused
until proof is forthcoming.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. II. The
North German Lloyd steamship
Brandenburg today took out clearance
papers for Bergen, Norway, and will
sail for that port some time during
the day or tonight. There has been
much activity aboard ship for sew
eral days, and it is stated that 10
900 tons of coal has been delivered to
her. This has been placed every
where, even being piled in the state
rooms and on deck.
The captain explains that this big
supply is necessary because it will
require two months to steam to Berr-
gen. 1t is also stated that enough
provisions have been taken ON board
to feed the crew for a year.
The mystery surrounding the ship
has led to much conjecture concerning
her future. 1t is reported she will try
to deliver the coal to German war
ships cruising in this vicinity or else
proceed to Germany and become a
hospital snip. 1t is pointed out that
she is too old and slow to be convert
ed into a war cruiser.
The Brandenburg arrived here Au-
gust 5 with passengers and cargo
destined for Galveston. Because of
danger of capture by British war
ships 1t was decided to keep the boat
here and send the passenger and
cargo by rail.
