of 317 Eighth avenue, New York. who
the police say is an "old timer" was
prevented from entering upon a New

chance meeting on Union street with
Lieutenant Ryan, of police head
quarters. who is familiar with the
mans past record. Ryan saw Hawk
enter the grocery store of Denino
Maltagliati at 1853 Union street, and
followed him.
Hawk bought a package of cigar
cites for five cents and rendered n
two-dollar bill in payment. When
the change was given him he asked
Maltagliati for change in coins of a
different denomination, and finally
got the storekeeper so confused that,
but for the presence of Ryan, he
would have been swindled out of
ninety-five cents.
Hawk was arrested by. Lieutenants
Ryan and Harris with a companion,
Fred McKenna, of 39S East Twenty
third street, New York, When ar
raigned before Judge Hahn in the
Third Precinct Court today Hawk
protested that his companion was
innocent. The police say that Hawk
has been arrested in this city and
New York several dozens of times,
and that his invariably attempts to
shield his companions from blame
Judge Hahn imposed sentence of
thirty days in the penitentiary upon
Hawk and placed McKenna in charge
of the probation officer for a period
of six months.

POLITICAL UNION
STAND EXPLAINED
Suffragists Were First to Urge
Appointment of Woman, Miss
Haines Says.

| The friction that has arisen between
the Contemporary Club and the Wom-
ems Political Union OF New Jersey
was discussed over the teacups at an
informal gathering held In the head
quarters of the union. 70 Halsey
street, yesterday.
Both organizations petitioned Mayor
| Haussling, at a hearing "Wednesday
morning, to appoint a woman on the
Board of Education. Members of the
Contemporary afterwards expressed
annoyance at the fact that Mrs. Nina
Van Wrinkle president of the union,
had spoken. The Contemporary had
previously extended to her an invita-
1t when she had refused to omit from
her address all reference to woman
suffrage
In explaining the situation at the
Unions weekly tea yesterday, Miss
Florence Haines defined the position
that the suffragists had taken. She
spoke in the absence of Mrs. Van
Wrinkle, the president, and Mrs. Min
ME j. Reynolds, chairman of the tea
committee.
THE Womens Political Union did
not go to the hearing under the ban
ner of the Contemporary" she said
THAT fact should be clearly under
stood.
"Our resolution was presented on
that day upon the advice of Mr..
Vance, the Mayors secretary, who
said that it would be convenient for
Mayor Haussling to receive our del
egation at the close of the Contem-
porary's hearing"
She outlined the history of the case
and asserted that the Union had first
taken up the matter of having a
fr1fA he n
Education over a year ago.
After the subject of Wednesdays
hearing had been threshed out, Dr.
Maud Thompson, of East Orange,
the speaker of the afternoon, was
heard in talk on What the Social
list Party Stands For"
I'VE in the Women's Political
Union are fighting TO overthrow the
rule of the privileged male
in government" she said. " We as
women are non-privileged politically,
though some of us are privileged in
dustrially. Inasmuch as we are not
fighting against privilege in industry
as well as in government, we are not
Socialists"
DIR. Thompson gave a clear and
concise lecture, going into the ques-
that the strike out in Michigan is
doing more to educate the people Of
the United States than all the pam
phlets written by Socialists in the
last five years have done.
The hostess, Mrs. Mary c. Hay
ward, was assisted by Mrs. A. e.
Hylands, Miss Charlotte Bishop and
Miss Frances Ginger.
Dr. Thompson's course Of lectures
on 1.-The History of the Woman
Movement" will start Wednesday
evening at o'clock at the headquar-
ters. Tickets for the course or for
single lectures may be obtained at
that time.

wood will be hostess next Sunday

Grace Duryea, Miss Emma Richards
and Miss Martha Nordine, who will

VeIocipede presents" and
Same Tales Arouse Proud
Fathers Suspicion of Sons

Two small velocipedes are awaiting
a claimant at the Fourth Precinct
police station in Seventeenth avenue
and Livingston street. The three
wheelers were brought into the sta
ton house today by two men, who.
although they do not know each
other, told practically the same story
to the police as to how they came
by, the velocipedes.
Shortly before noon Osmund Gran
ger, of IA Boyd street, entered
the station house with a small veloc-
ipede under his arm.
Sergeant, my boy brought this
thing home last night. I don't know
who owns it, but I know he doesn't.
He said he found 1t, but doesn't
know where. Will you take charge
of 1t until someone calls for it?"
Just as Granger was going out
the door he collided with another
man carrying a SISTER" velocipede
under his arm. He gave his name
as Sigmund Stankewicz, and said he
lived at 81 Boyd street. He told
practically the same story that
Granger had unfolded. Granger and
StankewicZ then had short confer
ence and decided that their two sons
knew each other.
They left the station house prom

WILL PROSECUTE
''MEN HIGHER Up
County SeaIer Makes Declare
ton After Hearing Complaints
of Short Weight.

That there are men higher up in
the short weights and measures
frauds and that he intends to prose-
cute them was the declaration of
County Sealer OF Weights Arthur
Harris today after receiving a num-
Der of complaints from retailers that
they were being cheated by the
wholesalers.
Most of the complaints were from
butchers who charged that the boxes
of loins of pork they receive from
the wholesalers are from four to six
pounds short in a box of seventy
pounds. Grocerymen allege that
print butter, which they have sold
short weight, came that way from
the firms with which they trade.
When communicated with, one of
the wholesale dealers in provisions
told the sealer they were not respon-
sible for the shortage, as they re-
ceived the goods from packing houses
in Chicago and had to take them be-
cause their bills read "all goods billed
at weight when packed" Mr.. Harris
has replied that this excuse would
not serve. Whether the offender is a
wholesaler or retailer or producer,
Mr. Harris claims he is equally liable
under the law.
The alleged shortweighting by the
producers and middlemen, Mr. Harris
claims, causes much of the short
weighing by the small dealers.
Figures compiled by the sealer
shows that the shortage on pork loins
alone, based on the complaints that
have come to him, will read 10000, at
q cost of about $500 to the retailers.
This is for one year in the towns in
Essex county exclusive of Newark
and Orange.
The shortages in lard caused by
the weighing in of tin pals will
total 100000, Mr.. Harris claims.

FATALLY INJURED,
MAN IS IN CELL
TWELVE HOURS
Found Staggering on Street, He
Was Arrested as Mere
Drunk"

For twelve hours an unidentified
man, mortally injured through a fall,
lay in a cell at the Fourth Precinct
Police Station without medical atten-
ton. The police thought he was
merely intoxicated.
His body is at Holes morgue and
it will be photographed today by
Captain Schwartz, of the Bertillon
Bureau, in an effort to discover his
identity.
Sergeant Arnold and Policeman
Rottenberg found him trying feebly
to gain his feet on the sidewalk in
front of e5 Mercer street at a. m.
Saturday morning.
There was no doubt that the man
was badly intoxicated, so the police
men sent him to the station house
and he was placed in a cell When
court convened he was taken before
Judge Herr. He was conscious but
seemed dazed, SO the judge ordered
him back to cell to sober up.
Captain Vogel looked into the cell
at 1870 in the afternoon and decided
to send the prisoner to the City Hos
pttal. There it was found that he
had a fracture at the base of the
skull. He died at 7:40 last night
Plainciothesmen Kaas and Schmidt
discovered five witnesses from whose
stories they were able to piece to-
Rether the explanation of the mans
injuries. He was first seen in Spring.
ffeld avenue very much intoxicated.
Two boys led him to the stoop of
Emil Germanus's steamship agency
at IS Mercer street, and left him
there.
When he finally arose to his feet
he staggered few feet and fell back
wards, striking his head on stone
step.
