JERSEY CITY. Oct 24.-St. Johns
Episcopal Church, at Summit and
Gardiner avenues, a S150,O0o building,

Defective electrical wiring is be-
lieyed to have started the blaze. The
fire was discovered at O'Clock by a

any of the usual German articles in

Monsieur Lelievre, president of the

that the principal difficulty the com

houses which are practically known
to be thoroughly German but continue
business under names adopted for the
contingency. There are no statistics
giving the number of Germans occu-
pied in commerce and manufacturing
in France, but the proportion is very
important and the defense committee
proposes to ask for radical measures
of protection against their continue

MINEOLA. Oct. g4.--The defense in
the Carman trial rested at II: :5e.
MINEOLA, n. Y, oct. 24.-The Car
man case to the jury by sunset-this
vas the aim of court and counsel at
the opening today of the sixth day of
Mrs. Florence Conklin Carman's trial
as the slayer of Mrs. Louise Bailey.
To this end the examination of the
few remaining witnesses was to be
speeded and both District Attorney
Smith and Mrs. Carmans counsel had
prepared their addresses to the jury.
Ii was expected that Justice Kelby's
charge would be brief, and the gen.
eral impression was that the jury
would reach an early decision.
Mrs. Carman expects to spend Sun
day with her family In her home at
Freeport. Few could be found today
who did not believe Mrs Carman was
certain of acquittal. The accused
woman, herself. and members of her
family, are confident she will leave
the Jail by tonight at least and motor
to her home free of the charge which
has kept her within the shadow of
the electric chair for the past three
months.
The worst that is predicted for Mrs.
Carman is a disagreement Of the pres
ent jury. Few expect this. District
Attorney Smith privately admits that
he has little hope of conviction.
Rudolph Loewe, first witness called
today, testified that he was on his
way to DIR. Carman's office and within
fifteen feet of the window when the
shot which killed Mrs. Bailey was
fired. Loewe heard the shot, looked
up and saw man run across the
lawn and leap over the fence.
saws Woman on Steps.
Mr.. Loewe was very deaf and spoke
English with a pronounced accent.
George M. Levy. Mrs. Carman's law
yer, went close to the witness stand
and shouted questions into Mr..
Loewe's ear. Loewe said after he had
heard the shot and seen the man
jump over the fence he looked into
Dr. Carman's office and saw the doc
tor with a woman in his arms.
There were two women In front of
the house, MIR. Loewe added. He also
saw a man he did not know stand
ing in the vestibule to the doctors
office.
How near were you to the two
Women you saw on the steps?" Mr..
Smith asked
About fifteen feet" Loewe replied.
He said the man he saw WAS my
height and not SO thick"
Justice Kelby had to leave his seat
on the bench and stand beside the
chair to shout his ques-
tons. Loewe was quite positive that
Notwithstanding mis- infirmity he had
heard the shot.
Justice Kelby asked him how long
he had looked into the Doctors office,
and he said about thirty seconds.
Then he left, but before doing so he
saw a door open and woman in
white enter the officel BY that time
the woman who had been shot was
lying on the floor.

FUND COLLECTION
IN SCHOOL OPPOSED
Education Board Fails to Grant
Right to Solicit for "Hiker"
Monument.

Whether it is legal for the Board
of Education to permit the Spanish
War Veterans to make penny collec-
lions among the public school chill
dren to raise funds for the "Hiker"
monument was discussed at the
meeting of the Board of Education in
City Hall last night. vote was
taken following the appeal. Four Of
the members voted to allow the col
lections, while tire were opposed.
President Taylor stated that the
vote was too close to permit the col
lections, and the matter was placed
in the hands of the committee on in
struction. Captain c. Albert Gasser
made the appeal in behalf of the
veterans.
Captain Gasser stated that the
veterans had refrained from appeal
ing to the public but had thought that
the children should be allowed to
contribute their mite, and that al
though the rule or custom of the
board may have been to deny such a
request, he expressed the hope that
an exception would be made on the
broad ground of patriotism.
In moving that the request be grant
ed, Commissioner Belfatto praised the
worthiness of the cause. Commits
sioner Breunig, who seconded the
motion, wanted the rule read perta n
ing to the case. He was informed by
Commissioner Taylor that there was
no set rule except that 1t was the
practise of the board to guard against
financial appeals from school children.
Commissioner Brown, while giving
full credit to the worthiness of the
object, said he could not refrain from
pointing out that however small the
amount requested there would be
some child whose feelings were bound
to be hurt deeply if it should not be
permitted by the parents to contrib
ute. He also expressed the opinion
that patriotism should not be stimu-
lated by the question of monetary
gifts, but rather by the education of
realization of the Importance of good
citizenship and upright living.
Commissioner Taylor stated that
while he, too, was not in favor of
having the school work interfered
with in any way with outside in
terests, he thought that the present
request was worthy of an exception.
Mr.. Breunig, after the question of
the legality of the vote had made the
motion void, voted to have the mat
ter referred to the instruction COM
mittee, which motion was seconded
by Comm ssioner Smith.
Secretary Robert D. Argue was re-
appointed for a term of five years.
The board received notice that the
Board of Works had accepted the
offer of $500 for the stable property
on Eighth avenue.

Arion Singing Society's
Concert a Great Success

Assisted by the New York Phllhar-
monte Orc 5stra and other artists the
Arion Si' ing Society made a bril-
liant sh. Wing last night in the Krue-
ger Auditorium. So appealing was
the concert that after the last num-
Der the au Hence fingered, enthralled
by the music of rare perfection to
which they had just listened.
The we'll known Arion singers ap-
peared at their best. The chorus
sang with an astonishing maturity in
expression and the blended voices
made a chorus of quality, beauty
and tone There was nothing left to
be desired, The chorus is well de-
veloped and every selection was rem
dered strong and clear.
No less enthusiastically received
was the New York Philharmonic
Orchestra. The body of talented mu-
sicians revealed beautiful tone and
poetical imagination. When accom-
panying the Arion singers the orches-
ira played with a subtle rythmical
fee ing that won for it much applause.
The assisting artists were Sara
Gurowitsch, cello, and Giuseppe
Picco, baritone, of the Metropolitan
Opera House, both well known in the
musical world Miss Gurowitsch's
playing showed individuality and tenn
permanent and in her numbers the in
telligence and tone-producing faculty
of the young artist found abundant
demonstration. Signor Picco has a
baritone voice of rare beauty and it
is of true grand opera quality.
A feature of the program was the
rendition of selection composed by
Richard Trunk, the popular conduc-
tor of the ArionS. 1t was "Fidelitas"
and was sung by the chorus last
night for the first time In public. 1t
is needless to say that it met with
the hearty appreciation of the listen
ers, as has been the case with other
compositions by Mr.. Trunk.
Miss Gurowitsch and Signor Picco
were programmed for two selections
each which they gave, with repeated
encores. Miss Gurowitsch's first Sc
lection was Georg Goltermann's con-
cert for violoncello and orchestra.
Later she rendered Oh. w. Gluck's
"Andante" and David Peppers eel
fentanz" for violoncello and or
chestra.
Signor Picco was first heard In r.
Leoncavallo's prologue from the opera
"Pagliacci," which received a tre-
mendous applause. He was heard at
his best, however, IN the aria of
Figaro from G. Rossini's opera, 1.-THE
Barber of Seville" Here he had to
respond with an extra encore.
