CANDY STANDS MAY
Be PUT UNDER BAN
Market Committee of Common
Council Would Bar Them from
Principal Streets.

From present indications the candy
and fruit stands near the -Four Cor
ners" and in and about the principal
streets of the city will have to go.
This matter was taken up by the mar
1<et committee of the Common Coun-
ell last night. The sanitary conditions
of the stands will be investigated ana
a detailed report made at the next
meeting.
Some time ago the matter was
brought up, but the stand holders
in the market argued that II the
candy men on the outside OF the
building went their stands would be
taken by regular market men and
the trade of the others inside the
building would suffer as a conse-
quence The matter was then
dropped, but was revived last night.
At one time during last night S
meeting Alderman James p. Rogers
made a motion that a committee De
appointed to investigate the matter,
but the whole subject was finally
dropped.
A communication meant for the
Board of Works, but by mistake ad-
dressed to the market clerk, aroused
considerable discussion and also
brought an old trouble into view
again. 1t was petition from the
stand holders in the market thai
some action be taken to control the
illegitimate dealers who are campo
on the sidewalks of streets near the
market building, obstructing traffle
and interfering with the market trade
in general.
Some years ago these sidewalk
dealers were so numerous that &C
ton was taken which resulted IN
driving them out of business. Since
that time the sidewalk merchants
have returned and are again bother
ing the market people to a consid-
cradle extent.
The market committee has no Ju-
risdietion over these people, as they
are in no way affiliated with the mar
ket, so action, if any, must come
through some other city channel. The
petition will be sent to the Board OF
Works. fer whom it is intended.
The remainder of last nights meet
ing was given over to the usual trans
action of business, receiving applica-
lions for stands and the reading of
the monthly report of the market
clerk.

Wild Hare Killed in Section
Special to the Evening Star.

MADISON, Dec. 2.-The first wild
jack-rabbit or hare that has ever been
shot in this section was taken yester-
day afternoon by Richard Hanlon in
the Great Swamp. near Green Village.
The animal was a monster, making
an ordinary rabbit seem as nothing
alongside it. lie weighed well over
fifteen pounds.
Hanlon was hunting in the Swamp
in company with his brother, James
Hanlon and William Kyne. The wild
creature jumped from bunch of
laurel and as it was making for the
inaccessible parts of the swamp it
fell a victim to the gun of the hunter
Mr. Hanlon ayerred that he did not
know what it was that raised in front
of him. The animal jumped about
three feet in the air and landed at
least ten feet away from it's bed, &C
cording to his story.
There were number or mares
placed on the property of NJ. H. Dodge
on Woodland road, last year and 50
large were they that some hunters
at first mistook one for a small deer
The animals migrate between the
Dodge and Mrs. D. Willis James es-
tates and as both properties are re-
stricted. the jaek-rabbits have multi
piled to such an extent that local
nimrods think the time is not tar
distant when there will be plenty OF
the wiley fellows to shoot.

STOLEN MADISON
AUTO RECOVERED
Reported Found in Mamarneck,
N. Y, by Detectives n the
Baff Case.
snecinI to the Evening Star.

MADISON, Dec. 2.-Charles r. He'd
den, of Florham Park, went to New
| York with Police Chief Fred r. john
son today to try to identify the auto
mobile recovered in Mamaroneck. n.
Y, as the one stolen from his garage
in Brooklake road early last Sunday
morning.
The fact that the car was stolen
Sunday morning disproved the
original theory of the New York po-
lice that it was the murder car" in
the Baff mystery.
Five young men were arrested yes
terday in Mamaroneck, n. Y, charged
with stealing a car thought to have
been the murder car" in the Baff
case Word was received early yes
terday from garage keeper in Port
Chester that an automobile closely
resembling that supposed to have
been used by the gunner had been
kept in his garage al night by four
men, who slept in it. This automo-
bile seemed 10 be one that Detectives
Meyers and Wagner had vainly pur-
sued up Broadway, New York, on
Monday night, and a general alarm
was sent out for it. Within a short
time Captain O'Neal. of the Mamaro-
neck police, notified the New York
authorities that four men were offer
ing the automobile for sale there.
Meyers and Wagner, with several
other detectives, hurried to Mamaro-
neck, arrested the four men, and
seized the automobile, which was a
coffee colored S. G. Y. touring car re-
sembling that described by the two
piano movers who saw the gunner
escape from the market after the
murder.
While the detectives were taking
their prisoners and the automobile
to New York the second positive re-
port spread that the murder car had
been seized. After investigation In
Spector Faurot was forced to con-
clude that another mistake had been
made. 1t was found that the four
men, together with a fifth, later ar
rested in the city, had stolen the
automobile from the home of Charles
r. Hedden, at Florham Park, Madi-
son. N. j., and that there was no evil
dence to connect them with the Baff
murder.
The car had New York license
number of 25,91S, which the thieves
said they had stolen. BY the police
records this license was issued for
Buick car owned by the Spadacini
Brothers Contracting Company, of
463 East 1S9th street, but a member
of this firm said that tfe' company
never had owned a Buick automobile
and never had received a license
numbered '5,91S. Further interest was
aroused when it was noted that two
of the numerals, the and the 8,
were in every number given by eye
witnesses as that of the murder car.
So the police kept at work on the
case with the hope of connecting the
automobile with the murder of Baff.

FOG ENVELOPS
HORSE ON TRACK
Animal Walking Towards Loco
motive Couldn't See 1t and
Is Killed.
special to the Evening star.


CHATHAM, Dec. 1.-The fog here
was so thick last night that a horse
walked onto the railroad track near
the Lackawanna station hauling an
express wagon, went along the track
more than 200 yards and walked di-
rectly into the east-bound 6:19 train.
Evidently the animal could not see
the engine or the headlight until the
train reached it, and the engineer did
not see the horse.
The rig was owned by H. w. Ste
vens, of West Livingston. and driven
by Frederick aRymOnd. The railroad
tracks arc elevated here, but the sta
ton is on rise of ground even with
the tracks.
Raymond left the rig standing near
the station while he went inside, get
ting his receipts and so forth in order,
and while so engaged the horse
walked off into the fog without being
noticed In crossing the trestle
bridge. in the middle of which is an
iron fence dividing the tracks, the
animal got through an opening
scarcely wider than needed to accom-
modate the wagon. The animal was
cut to bits and the wagon splintered.
