MISSING GIRL
LEFT A NOTE
FOR PARENTS
Fifteen-Year-OId Elmer Russell
Disappeared Monday from
Home, at 355 Elm ST.

Miss Elmer Russell. fifteen years old.
of 355 Elm street, has been missing
from home since Monday morning and
the police have been asked to look
for her. The girl left for work Mon
day and, according to her parents,
has not been heard of since.
She is described as being about five
feet two inches in height and had q
light complexion and light hair. She
wore a blue suit and a light straw
hat.
The girl was employed in a Market
street five and ten-cent store. On
Monday morning she dressed for
work as usual, and the first intima-
ton that her parents had of her dis
appearance was when Mrs. Russell
returned in the evening and found a
note which the girl had left with a
neighbor.
According to the mother the girl
merely stated in the note that she
was going away forever, but as
signed no reason for her act. nor did
she give any clue as to where she
was going. The parents are at a loss
to account for the girls disappear
ance, as her home life was said to be
happy. The girl was of a quiet dis
position, according to the mother, and
seldom went out at night. Her only
companions were girls who worked
with her in the store, Mrs. Russell
said.
Miss Russell is said to be very
pretty and looked much older than
she really is, according to her mother.
The girl would be sixteen in August.

PROCTOR IS TO
CLOSE THEATRE
AT PARK PLACE
Noise by Riveters on Trolley
Terminal Given as Reason
for Shutdown.

Announcement was made today that
| Proctor's Theatre on Park place will
close its doors next Saturday night.
The announcement came from the
New York office of the Proctor circuit
1t is believed that the playhouse will
not be opened again under the Proc
tor interests, as their lease soon runs
out and they expect to open their
new Market street theatre next fall.
The change at the Park Place house
is said to be due to noise caused by
the builders Of the new Public Ser
vice terminal next door to the theatre
1t is said that the pneumatic steel
riveters disturb the audiences. There
also is said to be some other reasons
for the sudden change in plans at
this time. The proposed closing of
Proctor's came as surprise in local
theatrical circles. Of late the house
has been doing heavy business, and
a lively summer season was antici-
pated.
Confirmation of the announcement
that Proctor's was to close was not
forthcoming from Robert T. Stew
art, the local manager, today. He
freely stated that the closing of ths
theatre was entirely possible, but re-
ferred all inquiries to the New York
manager who, he averred, will be in
Newark tomorrow to make the final
decision in the matter known.
1t has been evident for some time
that conditions surrounding the Park
Place Theatre are not entirely to tho
liking of the management, or the
audiences which attend the perform
ances, These conditions, il is said,
are largely due to the construction
of the Public Service railway ter
minal
When the excavation for that great
building was made. last summer,
there was trouble with the walls Il
Proctor's Theatre. The wall next
to the excavation bulged so per-
ceptibly as to render ii dangerous
to the building.
The theatre was closed at the time
force was Immediately set to work
and so shored up the foundation as
to make it safe again.
Once the steel construction began
upon the terminal building there has
been much complaint of the resultant
noise. AS long as the riYeters are at
work on the side of the building
farthest from the theatre the din is
bearable by those who are listening
to the performance. But the terminal
abuts upon the theatre and when the
riveters get close to the theatre wall
1t is complained that the noise is as
if it were in the theatre itself
OF course this objection does not
obtain after labor hours. but as a
very large percentage of the Proctor
audiences see the show by day it is
claimed that the noise is a most Sc
rious detriment
1t is this unbearable noise that is
urged as the reason for closing the
theatre.
AS to what will be done in the near
future, the management is indefinite

THAW IS FIRST
WITNESS IN HIS
OWN DEFENSE
Lawyer StanchfieId Springs a
Surprise on Prosecution at
Start of Sanity Trial.

NEW YORK, June 23.-Attorney
John B. Stanchfeld, chief counsel of
Harry X. Thaw in his fight to prove
his sanity, sprung a surprise on the
State today by putting the slayer of
Stanford White on the stand as his
own first witness. Deputy Attorney
General Cooke was so taken by sur
prise that he had not prepared to
cross examine the famous prisoner,
and after occupying the stand for
about twenty-five minutes Thaw was
excused. He is, however, subject to
recall at any time when the State is
ready to ross-examine him.
Thaw was plainly nervous. His
hands twitched and his replies to
Stanchfield were given in an un-
steady voice.
After a short time, however, he re-
gained his composure and made his
answers in clear, steady voice.
Stanchfield began his questioning
by allusion to Thaw's sensational
escape from Matteawan asylum.
Under Stanchfield's guidance Thaw
sketched briefly his escape his fight
to Coaticook. Canada; his return to
New Hampshire, and the subsequent
fight to have him brought back to
New York. Then he told briefly how
a commission appointed by Federal
Judge Aldrich, in New Hampshire,
had adjudged him sane, and there
was an audible note of triumph in
his voice as he reached that point.
Early Dismissal Also Surprise.
Thaw's comparatively early dis
missal was apparently as much of a

MICHAEL SALE
IS TO RESUME;
BIDS REFUSED
Store TO Remain Open Three
Weeks-Referee DeCoster
Authorizes Change.

Because the bids for the entire as
sets of Oscar Michael G. Co. sub
mitted today were too small, Referee
Atwood l.. De Coster authorized the
trustee to continue his sale at the
store for three. weeks. Judge Cecil
H. MacMahon, the trustee, reported
he could realize far greater sum by
selling the stock over the counters
than accepting the bids made
Gimbel Bros, of New York. was the
only concern to bid for the mer-
chandise of Oscar Michael & Co
The offer was "25 cents on the 81 net
retail price" of the stock This would
mean a total offer of about 100000.
Herman Gold, representing the
Newark Jobbing House, of Plane
street, offered $500 for the store fix
lures, exclusive of a sprinkling sys-
tenn installed in the place. Bloom
ingdale Bros, of New York city, made
a general bid for the fixtures. This
offer was 81 foot for show cases ana
similar offers for other equipment.
At the suggestion of Nathan Bilder
of counsel for the trustee, action on
the bids for the fixtures was post
poned for three weeks. The Gimbel
Bros bid, which was accompanied
by check of $4,000, as deposit, was
rejected, ON the motion of Mr.. Bilder.
1t was by unanimous vote the Gin
bel bid was rejected, after Mr.. Bilder
and Judge MacMahon explained how
much more could be gained for
creditors and the Newark buying pub
lie by continuing the trustees sale
considering the fact that we didn't
know from day to day how long the
sale would continue. the response of
the public was really phenomenal" ="
said Mr.. Bilder. Yesterday the
trustee did a cash business of more
than $4,000 On Saturday he took in
more than $4,000. In this way he has
disposed of about $160,000 worth of
goods he had on hand when he took
over the business.
