GIRL GRADUATES
HAVE So GOWNS
To be MarveIs of Simplicity
and Art.

Commencement day, with all the
attendant frills and furbelows, is to
be met by the girls of the senior
class with smiling, Gnruffled coun-
tenances. Practically all the mem
bers OF the class have already COM
pleted their gowns, which, perfumed
with lavendar and little sachets are
awaiting the coming of the great day.
There are half a dozen or so sew
ing machines in the domestic science
rooms, which are devoted to the uses
of the girls, and the edict was made
known that none of the dresses were
to cost more than two dollars, and
were to be made by the girls them
selves Every senior girl rose to the
bait, and hunted bargains as their
one aim in life, with the result that
the dresses are said to be marvels
of economy and art The maker
might choose any design that suited
her fancy or her form, the only stip-
ulation being that the model must
not be too fancy. All the dresses
are to be entirely completed by the
last of this month.
The object OF the authorities from
whom the edict comes, has evidently
been to do away with the affected
display, which SO often characterizes
eommencements, and is said to have
found favor with all those concerned.

7 To 14YEARS|S
GIVEN EVERSON
Confessed Perth Amboy Burg
lar Gets No LenienCy De-
spite States Evidence.
LOOTED MANY HOMES HERE
Fence, Whom EverSon Testified
Received His PIunder,
Gets One Year.

Though he had turned states evil
dence and aided in the conviction OF
Henry Messerer as a fence whom had
received much of his loot, Andrew Ev-
erson, the confessed Perth Amboy
burglar, was shown no leniency when
arraigned before Judge Harry " Os-
borne for sentence at Newark yester
day. The heaviest sentence meted
out to long list of prisoners during
the day was that given Everson. The
burglar was sentenced to serve not
less than three and one-half years
each on two indictments, and not
more than seven years, the sentences
to run consecutively. This means
that Everson will have to spend at
least seven years in the state peniten-
tiary and not more than fourteen.
Everson was indicted by the Essex
county grand jury on two separate
charges of burglary.
McMunn Sent to Reformatory.
Frederick McMunn, arrested with
Eyerson during February, and against
whom the police could find no other
criminal record, was sentenced to
the Railway reformatory. McMunn
admitted being implicated in some
jobs executed by Everson in Newark
but no evidence of other criminal op-
erations could be found against him
Henry Messerer, 1eweler of
Newark, whom Everson accused of
receiving loot from him, among
which he declared were three cut
glass receptacles stolen from the
home of o. w. Christian last year,
was sentenced to spend one year in
the county penitentiary Eyerson
said he sold them to Messerer for $4
and the dealer declared he resold
them for $S. The cut glassware was
valued at 1920 Another jeweler by
the name of Mintz, whom Everson
also accused, was acquitted by a
jury.
Confessed to Detective Long.
By Everson's confessions to De-
tective Sergeant Long, of the local
| police, the burglar was responsible
| for the frequent robberies that oc-
! Cured one after the other In the
southern section of the city at inter
mittent periods last year. He con-
| fessed to the robbery OF the home
of w. Guy Weaver, 0. w Christian,
Louis Kreielsheimer, January 1, of
this year, the last job executed by
| him in this city.
Eyerson is well known here hav-
ing gained his early education in this
city, where he was born. He is mar
ried and about thirty years old. He
has wife and three small children.
In court he declared that recent rob-
berries were executed by him follow
| ing the loss of a job, and that for a
long time previous to these burgla-
ries he was living Straight life"
One of the first robberies committed
by Everson in this city was the burg
larizing Of the home OF A c. Clark
about seven years ago. Following
this he was sentenced to the Railway
reformatory, but was kept at the in
stitution for nearly three years after
he had once escaped and made sew
eral unsuccessful attempts to get
away.

CHAUFFEUR Is ARRESTED

The wheels of 1900 pound au-
tomobile truck instantly crushed out
life of four year old Hyman, son Of
Philip Levy, grocer at 216 Hall
avenue, about 1890 o'clock today in
Hall avxnue.
The truck was one of the delivery
wagons of Wagner Pastry Company
of Johnson street, Newark, and was
driven by Charles j. Bach, forty
three years old, of AZ Park place,
Irvington. mediately after the ac-
cident the CD dffeur telephoned the
police, and awaited the arrival of
Patrolman Martin, who put him un-
der arrest.
Child Died Instantly.
DR.. M. S. Meinzer, who was in the
vicinity of Hall avenue at the time,
was summoned to the child, but
when the physician had arrived life
was extinct. DR.. Meinzer said the
child died instantly. Undertaken
Thompso assistant to Coroner
g4ames j. Flynn, viewed the body,
xand permitted it to be prepared for
prial. ~, o,,o ..., o,,,.. :,
Police Burke secured a statement
from the chauffeur, who explained
how In his opinion the accident oc-
Cured. According to Bach, he had
left some pies at the store of Mr..
Levy, and started the machine down
the avenue, running at second speed
He said before he had gone more
than about thirty feet he saw child
run across directly in front of the
truck. Immediately afterward the
machine jolted as If 1t had struck
something, He said that he did not
realize that he had run over anyone
until pedestrians began calling to
him to stop. He shut off the engine
and looked back In time to see the
little boy being picked up and car
ried into the Levy home.
He ran back to the scene, but
others were giving the child all aid
necessary, so he went into store
and notified the police.
Ran In Front of Auto.
! 1t seems that little Hyman was
tIsR en,Gp~py with other children and
that they started across Hall avenue
near Charles street, from the south
side to the north side. One of the
children safely crossed in front of
the machine, according to the driver,
but the chauffeur says he did not see
Hyman. The lad tried to cross like
his fellow companion, but was not
swift enough for the automobile
which knocked him down, and it is
believed both right and rear wheels
passed over his chest. The boy was
I picked up and carried into the house
by witnesses. According to the driv-
er, he was not going at a greater
speed than six to eight miles an
hour.
James S. Wight, representing the
pie company, Is making an effort to
have the chauffeur released In bail
this afternoon, and the man will
probably be released for arrafgnment
tomorrow morning after the COM
: pany gives bond for his appearance.

Rose, star witness for the state in
his efforts to send Charles Becker to
the electric chair for plotting the
murder of Herman Rosenthal, took
the stand today shortly before noon
Becker leaned forward in his chair
when Rose took the stand and show
ed as the lines deepened in his face
that he realized the climax of his
case was near. Led by District At
torney Whitman, Rose began the
original story of the negotiations
with Becker and explained why he
said the then Gear of the Tender
loin' wanted Rosenthal killed be-
cause his "squeal' to Whitman less
ened Becker's safety.
Shapiro Also Testifies.
Immediately before Rose took the
stand William Shapiro, driver of the
gray murder car" from which the
four gunmen leaped to kill Rosen-
thai, told his story. Briefly he went
over the facts of the tragedy. His
most important testimony, however,
related to conversation between
the four gunner in his car as they
neared the scene of the murder
Shapiro testified:
81 heard one of the boys say, |
think Whitley Lewis, these words,
Have the chauffeur turn his car
around and wait, the cops are all
fixed. Becker fixed them. Every
thing is all right. -
Martin D. Manton, Beckers chief
counsel fought hard against tha in

The second development which is

QUINN WILL NOT
RUN FOR MAYOR
Neither Will Garretson; No
Probable Candidates Yet.

Silence on the part of those held
to be in position to know has thus
far made it impossible to state who
are likely candidates for the mayor
ality position Mayor Ferd Garrett
son, Republican, reiterated his often
repeated statement today that he
would not be a candidate. He was
unaware as to who might become
candidates, even to the extent of
falling to know whom his own party
was likely to put up.
Political leaders generally are re-
-5icent when it comes to talking about
-Arobable candidates, especially when
the mayorality position is discussed.
One on the Democratic side of the
fence held that the time was not yet
ripe to discuss political possibilities,
especially for the position of the
city's highest executive. He conclud-
ed that there was too much time left
before election In which probable
candidates might be bounded and
otherwise pestered.
According to statements made by
Assemblyman Arthur A. Quinn, 1t is
just as much certainty that he will
not be a candidate for nomination
for the position of mayor as 1t is
that Mr. Garretson will not run
again. At Mr.. Quinns home it was
stated today that he would probably
seek another term in the assembly
According to feeling evident
among the most prominent Republi-
cans here, the county clerkship nom
ination on the Republican ticket is
to go to New Brunswick this fall. II.
Raymond Groves, although he has
been listed by some as a Progressive,
may be supported by the Republicans
for the position.

SPIRITS TOLD Of
HUBbY'S HABITS
Mrs. SorenSen Claims Ghosts
at Night Told What Her
Husband Did.
TESTIFIES IN DIVORCE SUIT
Alleges Her Husband Has Been
Cruel and BrutaI-CaSe
Off Until Tuesday .
TESTIFIES IN DIVORCE SUIT

That Mrs Anna Maria Sorensen
believed spirits communicated with
her in the night and weirdly told her
Of her husbands evil habits is the
novel contention of the defense in
her suit for divorce against her
husband, Christian Sorensen, of
Keasbey. The case was partially
tried yesterday in the Court of Chan
Gerry before Vice Chancellor Griffin
and was laid over until next Tuesday
Alleging that her husband treated
her in a cruel and brutal manner
Mrs. Sorensen filed a petition in the
Court of Chancery asking for abso-
lutte divorce. DR.. NJ. s. Meinzer, on
behalf of the husband, testified yes
terday that the woman was suffering
from delusions and her belief that
the "spooky' visitors told her of her
husbands wrongdoing greatly aggra-
waited her mental condition. The
counsel for the defense, Thomas
Brown, submitted letters written by
the petitioner to show that she was
superstitious in the extreme and her
highly colored imagination was
mainly responsible for her aggrava-
tion of the husband.
Says Husband Struck Her.
Mrs. Sorensen set forth in the pc
tition for the decree of divorce that
her husband struck her with closed
pocket knife March 25 during a quar-
rel and inflicted a deep cash which
caused serious loss of blood Sor-
ensen, however, admitted that an al
tercation took place at that time but
1nVA tod h nvrs - .1r L, ftth
uted her belief to this grievance to
the nightly visits of the spooks. At
the time the accident occurred he
said his wife bit his thumbs so saw
agely that he lost the nail and when
endeavoring to protect himself he
showed her from him in such man
ner that her head struck an iron boil
er in the kitchen of their home at
Keasbey.
Says He Elected Her.
The petition also stated that
Sorensen at various times elected his
spouse from the home and subjected
her to much humiliation in this
manner, but that she remained faith
| full to him until April 6, when she
thought she could bear the treatment
no longer AT this time she placed
the case in the hands of Counsellor
Peter A. Peterson and instituted
proceedings for divorce. Sorensen,
who is employed at the esebrough
Vaseline Works, denies all these al
legations and is inclined to place the
blame for the whole affair on the
frequent visits of the ghosts who
falsely informed his better half of
his whereabouts.
The case has been adjourned until
next Tuesday, but it is possible that
the differences may be adjusted be-
fore that time, so that Cupid may
again replace the telltale spirits in
the Sorensen household
