 The innlSeeper, John Scoville, is charged with the murder, and is tried before Judge Ostrander and found guilty and sentenced to meet his death.
 Shortly after this the judge quarrels with his son Oliver as a result and the toy leaves home and the judge is left to wear out his life in true reciuse man. ner, which he does unflinchingly
 The judges servant in the meantime has been killed and this complicates mat ters a bit more.
 Mrs. Scoville returned home Just about this time to try to prove the innocence of her husband as to the murder of Alger- non Etheridge which she does in the least expected way imaginable, and so with one crime after another, one mys- tery after another the author of Dark Hollow loads her reader to an ultimatum which is interesting from start to finish

Declare Foreign Trade
of United States Is Far
Short of Possibilities

WASHINGTON, July 3.-Although
a world leader in the interchange of
products among it's own people, the
United States foreign trade is far
shorteof its immediate possibilities.
Such is the conclusion of officials of
the department of commerce after a
study of the statistical abstract of
the United States for 1918, made pub
lie today. American home trade at
present is estimated at about SAC, 900,
900 900 which is equal to the interna-
tional exchanges of the world and
approximately ten times the value
of its own foreign trade, now valued
at $4,000, 100000.
The abstract shows that the pres
ent American export trade of $780,
000, 900 represents about $25 per cap
tia A per capital basis equal to that
of Argentina, 1t says, would raise
American export power to $4,000, 000,-
900, and one equal to that of Belgium
would bring its exports to 10000
900, 600 a year, while it's aggregate
foreign trade, when upon a percapita
basis as large as Canada's would be
considerably over $4,000, 100000.
The United States commercial pow
err and it's strong international power
Is 1uTIner enpndHl1eO III the dDSlFHCt.
1t shows that the United States with
25s, 900 miles of railway possesses one
third, of the worlds total. 1t leads
in the mileage of it's telegraph lines,
performs more than one-third of the
worlds mail service on its own
routes, while it's public debt of 81 900,

erty and the regular Rahway-Perth
Amboy route was completed shortly
after 8 o'clock last night At 8:45 a
work car passed over the connection
as a test. 1t was found to be in ex-
cellent working condition.
The connection was made only after
considerable court litigation, and
several clashes between the Public Ser
vice Railway employees and the town
officials Three arrests were made
by the town constables.
The trouble was settled when L. d.
Howard Gilmour, general solicitor,
served an injunction on J. Z. Waring,
committeeman-a of Wood
bridge He notified tine chief of po-
lice to withdraw his men.
The injunction was obtained by Mr..
Gilmour from Vice Chancellor Howell
in the local Chancery Court yester-
day. The Woodbridge authorities re-
fused permission to the railway COM
pany to make the connection at Sc
warren. The company appealed to
the Public Utility Commission. The
commission handed down a decision
on Wednesday afternoon granting the
appeal
The Woodbridge authorities, how
ever, ignored the State boards ruling
and arrested the men when they re-
fused to quit work. As result Mr..
Gilmour sued out the injunction.

MYSTERY CLOAKS
SALOON ROBBERY
Proprietor Found Unconscious
Behind Bar After Drinking
With Two Men.

The police of the Fourth precinct
today are investigating the mysteri-
Gus robbery of Marcel Smiegiel, sixty
eight years of age, a saloonkeeper, Of
81 Beacon street. Whether knockout
drops were used by two men de-
scribed by Smiegiel and Mrs. Kathefz
inc Zosnak, domestic, employed by
Smiegiel as long and short men of
foreign extraction, is what the police
are trying to determine.
Smiegiel, according to his story, was
in the saloon about $50 o'clock yes
terday afternoon when the two men
entered. They had several drinks and
then asked Smiegiel to join them. He
had a couple of drinks and then went
to the rear of the saloon.
When he returned a dime bank con-
tanning 500 that had stood on the rear
bar was missing. Smiegiel discovered
it on the ledge of the table at which
the men were seated. They explained
they had taken it for a joke Smiegiel
demonstrated heatedly against any
such jokes and became excited. He
fell to the floor behind the bar, where
he was found by Mrs. Zosnak, who
entered the saloon just as he col
lapsed.

get a shave, so he said, leaving the
shorter man in the saloon. When the
taller man returned short time later
there were more drinks and little
later, when Mrs. Zosnak again en-
tered the saloon the proprietor was
again lying in a state of collapse on
the floor.
The men had disappeared, and with
them, it is alleged, went the dime
bunk with the $40 in it, $24 in cash
from a drawer behind the bar, as well
as a gold watch, chain and ring.
DR.. s. Hrschberg, of 26S fifteenth
avenue, was called, but it was not
until II o'clock last night that he
succeeded in reviving Smiegiel. Even
then the aged saloonkeeper could not
tell what had happened to him. Dr.
Hirschberg is trying today to deter
mine if the men used knockout drops,
while the police are trying TO locate
the pair through the meagre descrip-
tions given by the saloonkeeper and
the servant.

THIEF
PUZZLES POLICE
Actions Lead Authorities to Be-
Iieve Man Caught in House
Is Lunatic.

In the arrest of Dominiek Magulo,
twenty-nine years old, of 40 Magnolia
street, the police are mystif1ed to de-
termine whether they have a burglar
or a lunatie. However, pending an
investigation. the prisoner was held in
$500 bail by Judge Hahn today in the
First Criminal Court on the charge
of breaking and entering. Magulo is
said to have told the police that 1t
was all right to enter homes of mill
lionaires.
Yesterday afternoon telephone
message was received at police head
quarters from the home Of the Sisters
of st. Columba's Parochial School
a man had broken into the home of
Ernest Strempel, at 10 South street.
Lieutenants Ryan, Farrell, Kuhn and
Maier fastened to the place and
found the front door open. When they
entered the parlor Magulo was found
crouehed in a corner.
Investigation showed that the man
had gained entrance by breaking
basement window and then forcing
the door leading from the basement
to the first floor. Both the front and
rear doors were found open.
Mr. Strempel was notified and when
he arrived at his home he found that
it had been ransaeked from cellar
to attic, but nothing had been taken.
Through an interpreter the man said
that he had gone into the house for
shelter.
Henry Strobell reported to the po-
lice that his hone at SO Pennsylvania
avenue had been entered, and inves-
tigation by Lieutenants Maier and
Kuhn showed that it had been en-
tered in a similar manner as the
Strempel home. The door was forced
With an axe. The house was ran
sacked but nothing taken. Both the
Strobell and Strempel houses were
vacant. the families being away for
the summer.
The home of Mrs. Morris Straus, at
1853 Quitman street, was also entered
yesterday while she was away, but
nothing was taken.
According to the police Magulo con-
fessed TO entering many houses and
they are perplexed ., to determine
whether breaking into residences is a
mania with him, or whether he has
been surprised in his work and
frightened away before he could ac-
complish his purpose.
Magulo told the police that he was
recently released from the reforma-
tory at Railway where he was sent
for assault.
Thieves jimmied an entrance to the
tailor shop of H. Schorr, at 321 Null
berry street, and stole several articles
of clothing.
