Hallmark Store.

In the United States there are 90, 00C
retail jewelers.. OF these at least 2, 500,
whether in large or small cities or towns,
conduct their business on the same plan.
They are generally referred to as the
best jewelers.. Their success is the
result of honest representation and fair
dealing. In January, 1914, forty-two
OF these jewellers met in Chicago to con-
slider plan for cooperative movement
that would unite the power and prestige
of these $500 stores. They formed the
United jewelers., Inc incorporated I'M
der the laws OF the State OF New York
with an authorized capital OF 81 500, 000.
The list of jewellers who we're invited to
buy stock and become partners In this
company was carefully prepared and
approved by a board of directors who
are themselves retail jewellers. Each
individual was approved not only for
the financial responsibility but for his
integrity and standing as citizen.
The purpose OF the company is to
produce a general line of merchandise
for every department. of the retail jew
elry store under special trademark,
In other words, the retailer becomes
his own manufacturer Selling cost and
manufacturing cost are reduced to a
minimum and he has direct super
vision of quality and workmanship.
The natural result is highest quality
merchandise at no more cost than lower
grades distributed in the ordinary way.
The United jewelers., Inc, have adopt
ed as their trademark the word Hall
mark a" and the stores OF the stock
holders are known as Hallmark stores
There is but one Hallmark store in any
city or town and Hallmark merchan-
disc is for sale only in the stores of the
stockholders. The company's main
office is in New York City where COM
petent hands study the market for new
ideas and improved manufacturing facil-
tiles.
1t will not be long before there will
be a Hallmark store in every city and
town in the United States. Already the
leading jewelers. in several hundred cities
have joined this great cooperative move
ment. The volume Of business done by
the jewelers. already enrolled amounts
to many millions of dollars. The total
sales OF the 2, 800 stores amount to over
50,O00.O 900 annually. This will give

OF this company.
Look for the trademark Hallmark,

Summit Elks Trim Church
Nine With a Loaded Team
Special to the Evening Star.

Special to the Evening star.
SUMMIT, Oct. 1.-two home runs
featured a pretty contest yesterday
afternoon on st. Teresa's athletic
field. which terminated with a score
of runs to in favor of the team rep
resenting Summit Lodge, No. l246, II.
p. o. E., against st. Teresa's B. b. O..
Jaggers, who was the boxman for
the Madison A, A. during the season,
was on the mound for the lodge team.
He clouted one of Joe Spencer's slow
ones over the fence for the circuit in
the fourth chapter. Catcher ZAP
Madigan, for the church team, belted
one of Jaggers's speedy ones over the
garden wall for homer in the sew
enth. A base on balls, a single by
Armstrong, of Morristown, who COW
cred centre field for the Elks, and q
double by Right Fielder Dunno in the
sixth accounted for the second tally
for the lodge men.
Madigan's homer was all that the
church team could do in the way of
scoring, only two players getting as
far as second. Jaggers held the
church nine to five hits, while the Elks
representatives got only four the cir
cult smash, two doubles and single
from Spencer, who retired in favor of
"BilP' Egan in the sixth. Egan held
the B. p. o. e. band hitless. Despite
the fact that the game was played on
a muddy field there were only four
errors, three of these being made by
the church nine and one by Rex, the
Elks second baseman.
To trim the church nine the lodge
brethren secured the services of
Waters and McCraclSen, of Madison,
and Collins and Armstrong, of Dover.

WORK SUNDAYS TO
COMPLETE R. R. CUT
Sneclal to the Evening Star.

Special to the Evening star.
MADISON, Oct. 19.-Since the pas
sage of the new railroad ordinance by
the common council last Monday
evening, Hyde McFarlin and Burke
Company, the contractors in the work
of curve elimination between this
town and Chatham have had an extra
large gang pushing the work to a rap
i'd finish. All day yesterday several
gangs of foreigners worked as hard
as on any week day and three engines
were also employed.
This work was held up in June by
Mayor B. d. Philhower, who placed an
armed guard at Sampson avenue to
prevent the contractors crossing that
street with their temporary tracks
without the permission of the coun-
Gil. When they did ask permission 1t
was refused, which further delayed
the work Finally the permit was
given and the work done since has
nearly made up for the interruption.
The temporary tracks have been laid
across Sampson avenue and space
of lowland filled in, bringing the
tracks to the edge of the Lackawanna
freight station. With the exception
of some more filing and grading, this
practically completes the new track
bed. q shorter run between Madison
and Chatham, with no dangerous
curves to round.

i. S. ARMY TESTS
MOTOR APPARATUS
One and Half Ton Truck Is
Found to Be Most
ServiceabIe.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-Extensive
service of the United States army the
one and a half ton motor truck is
the most serviceable, according to
Quartermaster General Aleshire in his
annual report today. OF the thirty
trucks purchased during the past
fiscal year. all but three were of that
kind.
"A great deal of practical expert
ence," says General Aleshire, has
been obtained during the year with
motor truck transportation in connec-
ton with the transportation of sup
plies between base depots and out
lying camps on the Texas border. A
reduction in animal drawn transporta-
ton has been made wherever motor
trucks have been supplied. Tests are
now being made with both two wheel
and four wheel trailers. Reports to
date show that the use of trailers with
motor trucks is economical"
During the year, nineteen motor
cycles were purchased for messenger
service on the Texas border. While
these machines rendered efficient SER
vice, their durability does not seem to
be very great, the life of a machine
being approximately two years"
AS to the approval given some time
ago to the recommendation that cot
ton uniforms be issued only in the
tropics an discontinued in the States
after January 1, 1915, General Ale
shire reports that efforts are being
made by manufacturers to provide a
suit n HE Wagha HE material rom bioif, o.
wool with from 20 to 80 per cent. of
cotton, and that until satisfactory
results shall have been reached the
issue of the cotton service uniform
will be continued throughout the ser

Former Vice.President of
Lakewood Bank Arrested
sreciaI to the Evening Star.


LAKEWOOD, Oct. 19.-Dr. Thomas
B. Whitmore, at one time Identified
with the Carnegie Trust Company in
New York city, and who lived at 225
West Eightieth street, that city. Is
locked up in the Ocean County jail
at Toms River, charged in an indict-
ment with having obtained money
under false pretenses. He was in
dicted by the September Grand Jury
and arrested in New York city sew
eral days ago. 1t was necessary to
get extradition papers so that he
could be brought back to New Jersey.
Whitmore was at one time vice.
president and resident manager of
the First National Bank here, but
severed his connection with the bank
a year ago.
The complainant against Whitmore
is Harry It. Hegeman, editor of a
Lakewood newspaper. Hegeman
charges that on July 20, 1913, he
loaned Whitmore $4,000 on a note
Whitmore alleging, so Hegeman
claims, that he owned stock worth
$40, 900. Hegeman also claims that
Whitmore alleged that he represented
q wealthy man of New York.
When the note came due Hegeman
alleges that Whitmore refused to meet
it. He tried to locate Whitmore, but,
he claims, that it was only short
time ago that he succeeded. In the
meantime, the case had been present
ed to the Grand Jury and an indict-
ment found.

MRS. CARMAN IS
CALLED TO BAR
CONTINUED from First Page.)

if she is guilty she should be pun
ished."
Attorney Graham early made his
stand on the dictagraph plain. In
questioning the first talesman he
said:
would you allow the mere finding
of a dictagraph in the home of DR..
Carman to influence your decision in
the case?"
The attorney also showed that he
will fight any evidence introduced as
a result of Detective Burns's work.
did you ever hear of the great de-
tective, Burns?" he asked tales
man. ibid you ever hear of his rec
ond in the Frank case or did you
ever read any of his great books?"
One talesman admitted having read
of Burns.
"Well, then, would you allow the
fact that he has been working for
the State in this case to influence
your decislon?" the attorney asked.
mo" answered the witness, and
Graham then passed him over to the
State.
At every sarcastic reference of her
attorney to Burns or belittlng
mention of the dictagraph Mrs. Car
man smiled flittingly. Sitting direct
ly in front of the jury box and be-
tween her attorneys and the jury the
defendant exhibited the keenest in
terest in the questioning.
Before leaving her cell to enter the
courtroom, Mrs. Carman handed
many trinkets to the matron and re-
quested that they be distributed
among the other prisoners. The men
and women in the Jail shouted good
luck" as she passed their cells. One
woman thrust her hand through the
bars of her cell door and gave Mrs.
Carman a metal swastika.
Not. long after the courtroom was
opened, William Bailey, husband of
the murder victim, arrived. He was
dressed in black.
DIR. Carman occupied a seat at the
counsel table opposite Mr.. Bailey.
Mrs. Carman was brought to the
judges chambers, in the rear of the
courtroom, through subterranean
passage running under broad lawn
from the basement of the Jail to the
basement of the courthouse. She
was dressed in the blue tailor-made
suit that she wore when she APP
peared at the inquest in F'reeport.
From beneath a stylish Partisan hat,
with a white feather, peeped stray
locks of her blonde hair, marcelled
with painStaking care. Her appear
ance was almost the same as when
she was, arrested; she looked as IL
she might have stepped into the
courtroom from stroll on Fifth
avenue.
The defendant grew nervous as the
examination of the talesmen pro-
crossed. She watched intently the
face of each man called. Occasion
ally she glanced at her husband,
sitting beside her, and smiled.
One hundred and thirteen tales
men were on hand. Besides the GUS
tomary questions, they were asked
whether they would consider the tes-
timony of negro as they would
that of white person-Celia Cole
man, the Carman's maid at the time
of the murder and now of the States
star witnesses, is negress-and
whether the fact that the defendant
was a woman of social position and
wealth would influence them.
They We're asked also whether tes-
timony to the effect that Mrs. Car
man installed a telephone device in
her husbands Office would prejudice
them.
