The Mullinax girls painted a startl-

only rest mother gets is when she is
away" they said, "and when she is
gone the lives of the rest of US are in
danger"
When the police arrived the floor of
OF the Mullinax parlor was Uttered with
broken furniture and whiskey bottles,
and Mr. Mullinax, just for the sake Of
variety, was engaged in a battle with
a neighbor, instead of with his own
family. He and J. G. Anderson. were
fighting. One had a pistol and the
other pair of brass knucks. accord

Gals. With the aid of attractive labels,
the government alleges the conspira-
tors sold their products through agents
in Kansas City to the southwestern re-
tail trade.
The Fort Smith plant once was a le-
gal distillery. In March, 1914, how
ever, its owners advised the revenue
department at Washington of their in
tention to cease business. The govern
men Immediately withdrew it's official
guager and sealed the doors of the
plant.
The seals, it is alleged, were soon
broken, the old machinery removed
and new machinery set up.
Among the discoveries they made
was that the plant was connected with
large sewer, with outlets so ar
ranged that the contents of its eight
ten-thousand-gallon tubs could be dis
charged into the Arkansas river In a
few minutes.

Casper in the second indictment il

OF $4,000 gallons of whiskey from the

Deal Paving Contract
Not Awarded to Lowest
Bidder, Is Claim Made

Alleging that the contract for thu
paving of Queen avenue in the bor-
ough of Deal was not let to the low
est bidder by the Board of Commits
sioners, depositions were taken in the
Borough Hall today before Arthur w.
Kelly, sitting as a Supreme Court ex-
aminer, in the application of Wesley
A. Palmateer for writ of certiorari
before Samuel Kalisch, Justice of the
Supreme Court.
1t is charged in the application that
the commissioners made a tentative
award of the contract for paving the
avenue with paving block to the
Scheffler- Burns Company for the sum
of 1882, 364.72 on March 6 last. Mr..
Palmateer through his counsel, ap-
peared before Justice Kalisch and
was granted leave to take depositions
and thus inquire into the regularity
of the securing of bids and the award
ing of the contract. This order also
contained stay of all proceedings
and prevented the final award being
made.
Mr.. Palmateer contends that the
proceedings in securing bids and let
ting the contract were irregular; that
the bid of Charles e. Bird, of Red
Bank, for paving with q brick con-
forming to the specifications was
$t30,611.21, and that the bid of the
Newark Paving Company Of this city
for $119, ,93024 was lower than that of
the successful bidder.

James Carton appeared for Mr.. Pal
mateer and Borough Attorney Will

TWO YOUNG GIRLS
MISSING, SEARCH
BY POLICE ASKED
One Nineteen Years Old, Other
Seventeen, Gone from East
Orange Since Sunday.

Departing from their homes Sunday
afternoon without intimating that
they would not return, two young
girls of East Orange, who are thought
to be together, although it has not
been established positively that they
know each other are being sought by
the police of that city and nearby
municipalities. The girls are Miss
Albertina Rotherburger, nineteen
years old, of 10 Crescent place, and
Miss Viola House, seventeen, of 50
Main street.
When Chief of Police w. H. O'Neill
learned today that the Rothenburger
girl was missing he recalled having
been told that the House girl was
seen with a companion Sunday after
noon in Sussex avenue, this city. This
fact led him to believe the girls are
together.
Both young women are pretty.
Miss House is of blonde type and
Miss Rotherburger is dark.
The mother of the latter told Chief
O'Neill today that the girl threatened
to go away after her parent mad a
dispute with her about leaving a
party at the home Of an acquaintance
last week. Miss Rothenburger Is a
stenographer, but was not employed
when she left home. The other girl
is an employe of the Crocker &
Wheeler Electric Company, in this
city.
Violias brother, William House,
who reported her missing to the po-
lice, declares there is much mystery
about her disappearance, as she had
not given the slightest intimation Of
her intention of remaining away
from home. Both were dressed in
their best clothes when they left their
homes.
1t is the belief of their relatives
and the police that the girls, if they
are together, are not far away, be-
cause neither took any clothes other
than what they had on. Miss Roth
enburger is described as s>being five
feet, five inches in height and weigh
ing 1S0 pounds.
She has dark brown eyes and
black hair. When she left she wore
a blue coat and skirt and a bal
macaan overcoat. The girl took with
her all of her jewelry, which in
cluded a diamond ring, a signet ring,
bracelets, a lavalliere and pearl ear
rings. Miss Rothenburger has two
scars on her face, one over her left
eye. near the temple, and one on her
forehead.
Mrs. Rothenburger told Chief
O'Neill that her daughter was an
gered when she wanted her to leave
the party at certain hour, and that
she declared she would leave home
when her mother insisted that she
leave.
Miss House wore new suit she
had purchased for Easter when she
left home. Die relatives Of the girls
have informed the authorities that
they knew Of no love affair they
might be. involved in.
If it is established that the girls
were acquaintances the police arc
satisfied that they will be found to-
gether.

Lincoln 40 q Steamboat Pilot.
When Abraham Lincoln was q young
man he earned $40 for one round trip
as steamboat pilot. The owner Of a
small steamboat named the Talisman
believed that he could prove the
sangamon river in Illinois to be a
navigable stream. Accordingly he an.
nounced his intention Of taking his
boat up the river from Beardstown to
the point nearest Springfield. A con-
siderable crowd gathered to see the
sight. Lincoln was on hand. He knew
the river quite well and was engaged
to pilot the boat. Many men and boys
went along each side of the river on
foot or on horseback to witness the
novel spectacle OF 4 boat propelled hy
