mer, I'VE will soon see the tremendous
benefit which will come TO Newark by
the building of docks along the bay.
The Democratic party is responsible
for the first dock which will be built
on the bay, and when this work is
completed the bay will offer an adj
mirable place for those ships which
cannot dock in New York bay. The
pay VIII also O1er an excellent place
for secret maneuyers by our navy.
When the reclamation of the meadows
and building Of docks has been com
pleted it will afford such tremendous
increase in the city's revenues that

LOSS OF MONEY
CAUSES suicide
Dependent Because of Failure
of Business, Kleinman In
haIes Illuminating Gas.

Worry over the loss of money which
he had invested in a delicatessen bus
mess, although he owned real es-
tate. is said to have been the cause
of Wolf Kleinman, fifty-one years
old, who lived in and owned the
house at "A Sixteenth avenue. COM
hitting suicide this morning by in
haling illuminating gas.
The family of Mayer Hyman, which
occupied one of the apartments on
the third floor, was absent in the
country and Kleinman, taking ad-
vantage of this, went to the kitchen
of their apartment and committed
the act.
The odor of escaping gas caused
tenants of the house to believe that
burglars were in the Hyman apart
ment and a number of women started
screaming. Philip Kleinman, twenty
four years old, a son of the suicide,
rushed to the rooms and discovered
his father lying on the kitchen floor
unconscious. One end of rubber
tube was in his mouth and the otn"I
attached to a gas range.
The Fourth precinct police were
notified and as two patrolmen were
carrying the body downstairs. the
City Hospital ambulance arrived
The accompanying physician imme-
diately pronounced Kleinman dead.

NEWARKER RECEIVERS GIFT WATCH
HE LOST IN MONTANA MOUNTAINS
University of Minnesota Girl Student Prospecting With
logical Party Discovers Tmepiece Lost by Thomas j. Nc
Laughn While Travelling Over Glacial Park Trail.

Finding of the proverbial needle
in the hay stack" ought to be an easy
matter for Thomas ]. Mclaughlin,
national warden of the knights of
Columbus, and a member of Newark
Council No. 159
If you don't believe that Mr.. Nc
Laughlin is lucky go to Glacier Ma
tional Park, Montana, on the Can
adam border, ride into the widest
part of the park, shut your eyes and
throw away your watch and fob over
a precipice and then have the time
piece delivered to you month later
by parcel post This is practically
what happened to Mr.. Mclaughlin.
With party of knights Mr.. Nc
Laughlin visited the park before at
tending the national convention of
Knights of Columbus in ST. Paul,
Mimi, in the early part of this month.
Riding through one of the widest
portions of the vast natural beauty
spot he suddenly discovered the loss
of his timepiece. 1t meant a great
deal to him for it was a highly cher
ished present and money could not
compensate him for its loss.
For several days he and his party
and native guide combed the noun
tainside, delved into crevasses and
used every possible means to find the
lost article but to no avail. On a long
chance Mr.. Mclaughlin told of his
loss to several of the permanent resi-
dents of the park before he left, but
had little hope that he would ever
be able to catch a train through the
aid of the watch or get to meeting
of the knights" on time.

Charles Nelson Bell, OF 1877 Rose
Vile avenue, husband of Adele
Richie, was held in $500 bail to await
the action of the grand jury by Judge
Hahn today in the First Criminal
Court on a charge of assault with in
tent to kill.
The complaint against Bell was pre-
ferred by George Steel, of AZ New
street. an erstwhile friend of Bells,
who charged that Bell hired two thugs
to beat him several weeks ago.
According to Steel's further state
ment he was in Bells presence when
Bell telephoned for his gang" to
beat up some one. Steel stated that
when he learned that some one was
to be beaten he left Bells company,
because he did not wish Ito be a wit
ness to a murder"
Lieutenant Joseph Farrell. of the
detecaive bureau, who arrested Bell,
testified that he heard Bell make the
threat against some one in front of
Broad street saloon, and that he
thought that he had pacified Bell
when the latter left him a few min
utes before Steel was assaulted.

many years. During the time that
Fielder was the leader of the Demo-
cratic minority he found his princi-
pal support in the senator from Mid
dlesex. Judge Silzer was one of those
considered by President Wilson when
governor, for secretary of state.
He has since been suggested for
a place on the bench of the Court of
Chancery and for attorney general. 1t
has also been generally known that
he was ambitious to be the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor on n
number of occasions.
Judge Blacks circuit comprised
Passaic, Bergen, Warren. Morris aud
Sussex counties. 1t is presumed that
Judge Silzer will have the same cir
cult.
The naming of former Senator Silzer
as a Circuit Court judge has lot of
significance in political way. For
years Middlesex county has been torn
apart by rival factions of the Democ-
racy, one of these have been led by
Senator Silzer and the other by for
mer Mayor George Viehmann, of New
Brunswick. Both Viehmann and Sill
ger have beer close friends of the
Governor, Silzer by his support in the
Legislature and Viehmann' by the
great aid he rendered the Fielder
boom for governor. The removal of
Prosecutor Silzer means that he will
be eliminated from politics in Middle
sex and the prosecutors office may
row he open for Viehmann candi-
date.

STEEL CABIN CARS
FUTURE CERTAINTY
New Sleeper For Trainmen Will Be
Safe and COmmOdious;
Tests Will Be Made

Trainmen on the Pennsylvania Rail
road are anIiously awaiting the ar
rival of the new all-steel cabin car.
Once in service, the new sleeping and
dining car for the men will be a well
come improvement.
Rear END collisions doubtless will
continue, but with a steel cabin car
there will be less chances for a smash
up. The new cabin cars are being built
to stand bumps The present wooden
cars viii stand very little knocking
around. Trainmen have been deserting
the ca bin car for a clearinghouse or
hotel bed, when having a lay-over, as
the chances for being awakened at
night with a headlight staring one in
the face made life miserable for the
men who bunked in the cabin.
All these objections will be overcome
when the new steel car is in service.
The first car of the kind to be built is
receiving the final coat of paint at the
Altoona shops 1t will be run over the
Middle Division for inspection and will
then be assigned to some crew Work
same type, and when winter comes
many Of the Middle Division and Phila-
delphia crews will have steel cabin cars.
A feature of the new cabin car is
that it has two trucks and is two feet
longer than the ordinary wooden cars
now used by road crews as quarters.
Ample room will be provided in the
new caboose for the crew members and
local trainmen are eagerly awaiting
the day when this type of car will be
universally used on the Pennsy's lines
