Around Lake Hopatcong
and in MontcIair.

Detectives are today attempting To
run down clues which would indicate
that Mrs. Walter w. Breck, of 292
Park avenue, Orange the missing
woman, may be either in the vicinity
of Lake Hopatcong or AIOntclair. The
clue that Mrs. Breck who mystic
riously disappeared on December L.

Morris county VAS obtained Yester-
day. All of the inlets about the lake
are today being searched
The latest clue Indicate, that Mrs.
Breck may have slept for several
nights last week in q summer cot

where the cottage is located is a
lonely section at this time Of the
year as all of the places have been
closed for the winter and the former
occupants have returned to the city.
There are many dangerous spots
where a person not knowing the
road, might wander away from the
main thoroughfare and fall into the
lake. There are many small bridges
which are used in the summer by
cottage owners to reach their places,
located on numerous little islands at
the east end of the lake.

Catholics Can Eat Meat
on Christmas Day, Which
Falls on Friday This Year

Catholics in the Newark diocese
will be permitted TO eat meat on
Christmas Day, which comes this
year on Friday. This announcement
was made today by Bishop John ].
O'Connor. Instead, however. the
day preceding the feast on Thurs
day, will be a day of fasting.
This same rule viii probably apply
to Catholics all over the world, as
bishops in their respective diocese
are empowered to make such pro-
nouncement in accordance with the
ruling of the late Pope Plus X, when
any church festival falls on a
Friday.
The ruling will change the meat
and fish markets all over the uni
verse. fish being on hand a day
earlier and turkeys and other meats
being provided for all, rather than
only non-Catholics on Christmas.
In all of the Catholic churches in
the diocese yesterday encouragement
was made that Wednesday, Friday
and Saturday of this week win be
ember days. and therefore periods of
fasting. The use Of flesh meat, how
ever. will he allowed to working peo-
ple and their families at the prin-
cipaI meal on Wednesday and Sat
urday

GARRISON SURPRISES
GOVERNORS MESSAGE
Believe Foreign BattIeships Ig-
more Shipping Laws-Aus-
tralian Collier Suspected.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14-Colonel
Goethals, governor of the Panama
canal zone, today reiterated his re-
quest that two torpedo boat destroy
ers be sent to canal zone waters to
prevent violation of neutrality
through the misuse of wireless and
he taking on of supplies by belliger.
ent vessels.
Because of the confidential nature of
Colonel Goethalss dispatch Secretary
Garrison declined to make il public
He issued this statement:
''The substance of the dispatch as
that, in Colonel Goethals's judgment,
the misuse of radio communications
within canal waters and the proven.
ton of the misuse of these waters as
a base of supplies require the presence
Of swift-moving ships of the variety
mentioned. Since the questions in>
Nolved require the consideration of
the state department as we'll as my
own | have taken the matter up with
the other departments. and as soon as
the requirements are fully ascertain-
ed proper action will be taken to
meet Them
Secretary Garrison declined to dis
euss the situation in the canal zone
or to indicate which of the belliger-
ents was violating the neutrality OF
the United States.
1t is known, however. that the Aus
trslian collier Mallina, which recent
ly left Balboa without clearance
papers, has been under close observa
tion by Panama canal officials. That
snip, as well as other GOLFERS. have
been suspected of supplying British
ships in Pacific waters. Alleged vio,-
lations of canal zone shipping regu-
iations have been the basis of strong
representations to the British minis
ter at Panama.
The Lamson, Worden, Terry, Per-
kins and Wake are in reserve at
Charleston, S. c., and one or more of
these vessels could be dispatched to
canal waters almost Instantly On
the Pacific coast the nearest craft
available are the Whipple, Paul
Jones, Perry, Preble and Truxtun. all
lying off San Diego.

HELP At HOME

Money, Food, Fuel and Clothing
Are Needed in This
City.

'sHelp at home first. Let us
adopt this as our slogan for the
Evening Stars Christmas Cheer

"Help at home first. Read the
pathetic histories Of the cases laid
before you here and ask yourself IL
such conditions shall be allowed to
exist at our very doors.
It is Il source of qualification to
us and Of congratulation TO our
readers that this movement to re-
lieye distress and want among our
more unfortunate neighbors will be
q glowing success. II speaks well
| for the feeling Of brotherhood that
prompts our citizens who contribute
to the relief of such cases.
A gentleman has undertaken the
care of Star case No. in the mat

length of time.
Star case No. / has another 81 con-
tributed for its support. while an
other s. has been received for Asso-
ciated Charities case No. /.
Results SO far are very gratifying.
and Yet we are far from the ac-
complishment of our aim. 1t is true
/ that contributions have commenced
/ 80 eUme in; that letters are received
f'lis,m people asking Tor the names
and addresses Of those whose cases
are mentioned and promising aid in
! one way or another: that Telephone
messages. are received asking for
more detailed Information in regard
+ to specific cases. All these circum-
stances attest the growing interest
manifested in our Christmas Cheer
/ Fund movement But as before
stated. We are far from the hoped
j for end. Ultimate success can only
be attained by a general and spon-
taneous rally to the help of those
whose misfortunes make it impera-
tive to send out hurry call for help.
1t is not the large contributions that
we look or hope for But the sum
total of popular fund to which each
sympathetic person gives. be it ever
so little, according to his means, will
furnish relief at Christmas time at
least to a majority of the cases
mentioned. 1t will give these worthy
unfortunate ones heart of hope and
show that they are not entirely for
gotten by us in our eagerness to
crafty our own pleasures.
Money food, fuel and clothing are
needed; in fact. anything of useful
ness in the ordinary home.
Little children, too. are sending
their pathetic little appeals TO Santa
claus and beg the good old fellow to
make sure that he visits them on
/ Christmas Day. Toys, old or new,
and some of the goodies that more
fortunate children enjoy on Christ
mas will not come amiss in these

Our first duty is to those at home.

means allow. we may then extend our

Chancellor Howell was today
asked to decide whether an ante-nup-
tial agreement favoring woman

Henry NJ. Parker, who died near Bos-
ton early this year.
Henry NJ. Parker was the son of a
New York lawyer, and inherited an

nor did he intend TO take up any. 1t
was finally agreed that if she mar
ried him that he would sign an agree
meDt by which she would receive one
third of the income from his estate
as long as he lived and he would
make a will. leaving all of his prop
erty to her at his death.
After they were married Mr.. and
Mrs. Parker left this country and
Travelled through Europe. In March
1909. Mrs. Parker left her husband
while they were stopping in Florence,
Italy, and returned TO this country.
Shortly after they parted Parker
caused a ratification of the ante-nup-
tiaI agreement to be filed with the
New Jersey Title Guarantee and
Trust Company.
Mr. Parker obtained a divorce in
st. Louis in 1912, and last year was
married to John Pickford JunlIen,
with whom she is now living in Mil

In 1918 Parker made q new will, by
which ne gave all of his estate to the
children Of his brother, Richard Fay
Parker. These children are Catharine
Fay Parker, Elizabeth Parker and
Rose Parker, all minor children. The
trust company now comes into court
and asks the ce-chancellor to de-
eide whether the win has superseded
the ante-nuptial agreement OF not.
