LEATHER DEALER LEAVES NOTICE
FOR THIEF TO LEAVE HIS ADDRESS

Peter Steiger, proprietor of the

pany, 357-365 Ogden street, has pre-
pared a notice to burglars. which he
will post in his store, asking them
please to leave their names and adj
dresses If they succeed in ropbing his
establishment again He wants to
congratulate them.
Within three months his place has
been broken into three times and al
most $1,000 worth of goods have been
stolen despite a patent burglar alarm
gong, which rang long and Justify
during and for several hours afte-'
the last robbery, on Wednesday night
last.
On the first occasion about $500
worth of property was taken, and be-
fore another month had passed a
second burglary caused loss for the
establishment of over 5000
The bell of the burglar alarm is on
the street so as to attract the atten-
ton of the police when 1t rings.
Shortly after it had been installed 1t
began to ring and the police respond
ed, but found that it was a false
alarm. On two other occasions the
alarm deceived the patrolmen, and
when ii began to sound forth a warm

emily thought that 1t was another of

Piano Recital Given by
Sister of the Pastor
of Forest Hill Church

A piano recital was given last night
by Miss Katharine Lewis. under the
direction of the Pastoral Aid Society
of the Forest Hill Presbyterian
Church in the church parlors. Miss
Lewis is a sister of Rev. Frederick
w. Lewis pastor of the church, and
is en- route to her home, in Wichita,
Kan from Munich, Germany where
she has been studying pianoforte for
a year.
Miss Lewis was assisted by Paul
Eichhorn. a baritonel The latter sang
two German songs by Won Fielitz and
the ever popular 'Invictus," by
Bruno HUM. Miss Lewis led her
hearers through a program of Bee
thoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Schu-
mann, Chopin, Debussy and Paderew
ski with ripe technique and abund-
ant power of Interpretation. She ex-
hibited a finished style quite differ
ont from the playing which one hears
so often. She played such brilliant
passages aes Mendessohn's Scherzo,
with its consistent staceato, with
eXactness of rhythm and thrilling i'm
preston. Her sympathetic touch and
legato effects in Schnmann's Ro-
MANIA delighted her hearers. A num-
her of her selections gave her an OPP
portunity to display unusual fluerfcy
in her rapid scale passages which
were dashed off with brilliant effect,
yet with justice done to each note.
In fact her well-defined rhythm, her
difficult trills, her good taste and UNI
derstanding of music. her verve and
sparkling fire showed that she pos
sessed the qualities of a genuine
musician.

The next morning it was found that
the place had been broken into and
that several hundred dollars worth
of goods had been taken. According
to Mr.. Steiger footprints on the floor
showed that the burglar had tried to
stop the bell from ringing by leaning
out the window near which it was
located He did not succeed in this,
however and SO had to do his rob-
bling to the clang of the harsh tones,
which lasted until the batteries wore
out.
Mr.. Steiger declares that the rob
berries were all committed by the
same person, and has written a let
ter to the police asking If he cannot
be afforded protection He believes
that more burglaries will follow
The notice to the burglars which
he has posted reads as follows:
TICE-BURGLARS AND
THIEVES.
1--WE have been robbed three times
IN three months. We have put in a
burglar alarm system, and if an at
tempt at robbery is made the gong
will sound. If the proprietor is
around you will have to run for your
life. but the police will pay no at
tention. If you succeed in robbing
this place, kindly leave your right
name and address, so that the New
ark police can find you"

CLAIM FRAUD IN
SECURING LOANS

paints. 1t is also charged in one of
the suits that curry, with the consent
and connivance" of Sippel, appropriate
ed $1,000. loaned to the building and
loan association to his own use.
Sippel is in the paint and household
supplies business at 65 Market street.
Curry is liquor dealer and collector
for the Essex County Brewery. He
is a former freeholder. Since the
alleged transactions mentioned in the
suit became known to the directors
Of the building and loan association,
which. 1t is claimed, repudiated them,
curry resigned his position as treas
urer.
In the Circuit Court suit, John
Minke, of 431 Eighteenth avenue. de-
elares that he lent $4,000 to curry for
the building and loan association,
and that curry gave him a promssory
note signed by him as treasurer and
Mr.. Sippel as president. He alleges
further that the note was repudiated
by the association and payment re-
fused. Both Curry and Sippel, he
says. failed to pay the note.
According to Minke's complaint he
gave 81, 900 in cash to Curry on July %,
1910 with the understanding that he
was lending it to the Washington
Building and Loan Association. Curry,
he asserts, signed an ION demand"
promissory note and took it to Sppel,
who, complainant asserts, also signed
us president. Not only was Sippel
and Curry unauthorized to make the
loan, Minke charges. but they did not
inform the association or secure its
consent, and never turned the money
over to it. They falsely and fraudu-
lently' represented themselves as au-
thorized to do as ii Is asserted they
did, the complaint read.
The note in question has been lost
by the plaintiff, he claims, but ii can
be proved in court. Jacob Lubetkin
is attorney for Mlnke.
The two suits by the Federal Trust
Company We're filed by Pitney, Hardin
* Skinner and contain almost similar
allegations. The first states that
promissory note made by the WASH
ington Building and Loan Associa-
ton by Sippel and Curry, payable to
the Federal Company, and endorsed
70 the Trust Company, was protested
when presented for payment at the
National Newark Banking Company,
on June 10. 1912.
The second suit by the bank alleges
that Sippel and Curry representing that
they had the authority of the build
ing and loan association, secured a
loan of 5000, and gave note pay
able in four months from April H.,
1912. The note, the bank says, was
protested for non-payment August ~,
1912. The building and loan associa-
ton denied responsibility for it, and
so did Curry and Sippel. according to
the company. First the association
is named as defendant, and in the
IA
iicers, sippel and Curry, are made de-
fendants
