POLICE CAPTURE
ALLEGED THIEVES
One Attempts to Pull Gun When
Arrested-Loot Re-
covered.

Benjamin Galbraith, twenty two
years old, of II Crittenden street, and
Russell R. Smith, twenty years old, of
1873 Belleville avenue, were arrested
last night and locked up at police
headquarters by Lieutenants Ryan.
Pagan and Fohs for their alleged COM
plicity in the robbery Of Charles Hof-
bauer and his wife, at the point OF re-
volvers, at their home, IA Nursery
street, early Thursday morning. Ac-
cording to the police both men con-
fessed their guilt.
The Hofbauers, who slept In adjoin-
ing rooms, were awakened by the men,
who pointed revolvers at their heads
and threatened to shoot il an outcry
was made. One of the men removed
a pair of diamond earrings from Mrs.
Hofbauer's ears and the two then
ransacked the house, obtaining SIS in
cash.
Accurate descriptions of the men
was furnished the police, and after an
investigation suspicion fell upon the
two men now under arrest. Smith was
Immediately located but not arrested.
From Friday morning until last
night one of the three detectives was
secreted in the rooms of the Northern
Republican Club, at 1877 Belleville ave-
nue., keeping a careful watch on
Smiths home. Meanwhile the other
detectives were working to ascertain
the identity of the other man. Finally
they learned that the man wanted
was known as Wilson, and last night
Wilson was identified as Galbraith.
Lieutenant Fohs then telephoned to
Galbraith's place of employment, at
Crittenden street and Belleville ave-
nue. for the man. When he arrived in
front of the clubhouse he was ar
rested by Lieutenants Ryan and Fa-
gan. He was taken into the club
house and when about to be searched
attempted to draw a revolver. He was
oyerpowered and the gun wrested
from him.
Smith was then placed under arrest
by Lieutenant Fohs. The pair were
to police headquarters, where
it Is said they made a complete con-
fession, which resulted in their homes
being searched and most of the stolen
recovered.
Weapons of various kinds were
found in both homes, and a pawn
ticket for the earrings was recovered.
The stones are valued at $3.50 and had
been pawned in New York for $50.
Galbraith is charged with carrying
weapons, intent to kill and
breaking, entering and stealing. Smith
is similarly charged with the excep-
tion of carrying concealed weapons.
Neither of the prisoners were ar
raigned in court today. The detec-
tives are holding them at police head
quarters in an effort to get from
them, If possible. admissions of other
crimes which they are suspected of
having committed.
According to the police, Galbraith
was implicated in the robbery of
Frederick Keer's art store, at 917
Broad street, several years ago, when
paintings valued at about $4,000 were
cut from their frames. For this he
is alleged to have been sent to the
reformatory. After his re-
lease from the reformatory he is al
legged to have been rearrested for an
in Washington, D. c.,
and was turned over to the authori-
ties of that city.

MINERS ASK FIVE
CENTSAT TON RAISE
Scale Committee Submits Other
Recommendations at Mine
Workers Convention.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. IA fat
increase of five cents a ton, on a
mine-run basis; a ten per cent. In
crease on all dead work, yardage
and day labor and a half holiday on
Saturday were the principal recon-
mendations of the scale committee
submitted to the convention Of the
United Mine Workers of America to-
day.
The report is the basis for work
of the joint conference Of miners and
operators of the central competitive
field, which meets in Philadelphia
next Tuesday. This field includes
Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and Western
Pennsylvania.
The report of the committee fol-
lows:
THAT all coal be weighed before
being screened and paid for on a
mine-run basis; that we demand a
fat five-cents-per-ton increase at the
basing point; a 10 per cent. increase
on all dead work, yardage and day
labor; a uniform workday and wage
scale for all classes of outside and
inside labor: a proper readjustment
OF the uldCnlfl6 uliLeF6Illdl at lHe
basing point; that We demand that all
local Inequalities and internal differ
ences be referred to the various dis
tricts affected for settlement; that we
demand a complete check off for the
miners organization through the
companies offices; we demand that
where the price or regulation of pow
der is made a contract provision that
union-made powder shall be fur
nished; that the miners work only
one-half day on Saturday; that the
company shall pay drivers for time
from taking charge of stock until
they, the company, receive same; we
demand that our contract shall be in
effect for two years"
The first clause was adopted with
out debate.
Efforts were made to amend the
second section to provide for 10 per
cent. increase on the ton. 1t was op-
posed by several, on the ground that
the amount could not be won, and a
compromise would have to be made
President John P. White, of the or
ganization, spoke in favor of the 5
per cent. advance. He said the de-
mand was reasonable, and believed
that 1t would be granted by the
operators.

TO PLACE BAN ON
SEX HYGIENE AS
SCHOOL SUBJECT
AssembIyman FISHER Will In
trOduce Bill Making Its Teach
ing a MisdemeanOr.
IspeclnI to the Ne,rarI. star.l


TRENTON, Feb. 3.-Teaching sex
hygiene in the grammar schools Of
New Jersey is to be forbidden by
bill which Assemblyman Bennett II.
FISHER, of Essex county, today an
nounced his intention of drawing and
introducing in the Assembly next
week. Mr.. FISHER comes from Mont
clair, where there is strong opposi-
.!on TO children OF tender age being
introduced to the theories and teach
ings of sex hygiene. His bill does
no more than reflect that sentiment
he says.
The Montclair Board Of Education
has already passed a rule prohibiting
any teacher from imparting the ad-
vanced knowledge sex hygiene books
contain to any scholar of the public
schools of that town. Mr.. Fishers
bill would make it misdemeanor to
teach the subject in the schools.
While the bill is not yet drawn. As
semblyman FISHER says it is in doubt
whether to bar it from high schools
entirely, to admit it's teaching in
only senior or junior grades or to
make the bill check on primary and
grammar grades only.
The bill has been mentioned casually
to a few legislators by Mr.. FISHER
The result has been to develop a
strong feeling in it's favor and many
Endorsements of its provisions and
promises of support have been given
by the legislators.
If introduced, the bill promises to
pass.

Cupid and the cable came to the
aid of DR.. Frank w. Pinneo, of 1879
Garside street, this city, when he
found himself under the necessity of
conducting his courtship when the
girl he loved was on the other side
of the Atlantic.
Last summer DR.. Pinneo met Miss
Mabel Skilton, for seven years
Presbyterian missionary in India,
when she came to this State to make
a series of addresses in a missionary
campaign. The physician pressed his
suit with all diligence, but Miss Skill
ton was obdurate when he spoke to
her of giving up her missionary work.
She remained in this country until
January 2, when she sailed from New
York for England, intending to hurry
to India, there to stay, she said,
probably for seven more years.
DR. l'inneo did not give up hope
when Miss Skilton sailed away, but
pressed the cable into service. His
ong-distance method of courtship
! proved immensely more effective than
| his personal efforts had been, for a
cable message received by Miss Skel-
| ton upon her arrival in Liverpool
broughtSto the doctor a return mess

WIDE DECISION
ON BANKRUPTCY
Judge ReIlstab Rules That Sol-
vent Firms or Persons May
Become Bankrupts.

United States District Court judge
Rellstab has handed down an opinion
that a man may go into bankruptcy
whether he is insolvent or not. This
opinion was rendered at Trenton
yesterday when the voluntary petit
ton of the Corsica Auto Company.
of Elizabeth, was heard.
The petitioning auto concern was
adjudicated bankrupt and the matter
referred to Referee Alfred De Coster.
of this city.
Thomas Howard G. Co., of New
York city, objected to the adjudica-
ton. Counsel for the Howard con-
Germ argued that the adjudication
was sought in order to escape the
obligations of a contract between the
Elizabeth and New York companies.
1t was stated that Thomas Howard
& Co., an automobile sales concern,
hold a contract by which the Core
jea Company agreed to allow the
Howard Company to sell 800 Corejee
cars a year
Counsel for the Howard company
pointed to the schedules filed by auto
manufacturers, which show the as
sets to be $4,000 and the liabilities
100000, to prove the contention that
the bankruptcy proceedings were un-
necessary. The Corejea officials as
SOL leu that u pan VI ieoi6dui1hlioh
was the motive for the bankruptcy
petition.
"A man can be adjudicated bank
rupt, whether he is solvent or not"
announced the court. There Is moth
ing to prevent a man or corporation
from using the Bankruptcy Court to
adjust the claims of his creditors"
The decision was viewed with alarm
by the Bankruptcy Court attaches,
who declare the courts are now
crowded with cases which will take
long time to administer.
IF the solvent business men join
the large army of defunct concerns
now in the bankruptcy COURTS" said
court clerk, several branches OF
the court may have to be established
in the various counties throughout
the State to handle the rush of new
cases +"
