RICH" PRETENDER
WORE PRISON GARB
millionaire" in Madison Had
Stripes Under His Outer
Clothing.

PATTERSON, Jan. 9.--In the opin-
ion of Detective Sergeants Lord and
Keppler, who last night returned to
this city after investigating the case
of George Harris. the suspect is a
boarding house thief just out of
State prison, or some other penal
institution.
The case came to the attention of
the police through telephone mes
sage received from the Madison po-
lice department that Harris had posed
In that place as millionaire and
that he was seeking an extension of
credit until checks should arrive.
When the detectives arrived in
Madison they found that Harris, who
gave his address as SO. Harrison street,
Paterson, was still wearing prison
trousers. His skin showed the palor
and his hands the softness of man
who had just been released after a
long term in prison
These conditions and the fact that
Harris know Paterson as it existed
twenty years ago give the detectives
the opinion that he was sent to
prison for score of years and has
not been here since. They believe
that since his release from prison
he has not known how he could make
c. living and so has been working at
his old trade of robbing boarding
houses, 8. =. -s-
9IIis finger prints and Bertillon
measurements have BEEN taken for
record. II Detective Moorfe, who was
sent to SO Harrison street. found that
he had never lived there, so far as
present residents know.

security before the spectators, in
vestors and builders can operate"
THE people who buy real estate
have money but they keep it tied up
when business is uncertain. The
moment there are good prospects,
they rush to invest their money here
and there with the hope of an early
return.
There are three classes involved.
First there are the investors, the
men who put money in a property for
a good rental return. Then there
are the men who buy real estate
without any regard to its paying pos
sibilities merely in the hope of SELL
ing 1t again and making profit.
They are spectators. Finally there
are the building operators.
Now these men generally have
their rush season from late in the
winter until midsummer This year
they are apparently beginning earlier
than usual. but that. as ! say. is due
to the general feeling of hopeful
ness.

Harrison Van Duyne was nearly as
optimistic.

active spring" he said. ut seems to
me that we have reached the end of

He was asked if he thought the cur
rency law was factor in effecting
the change
There is no question about one
thing" he answered. "apd that is, we
can't get another panic like that of
1907 under it. Every year has been
getting a little bit worse since 1907,
although Newark, of course, has been
more fortunate than other cities.

not expect any sudden era of phe-
nominal development, but I believe
this year will see a substantial, steady
and sound growth"
