POLICE At WORK
ON RIPPER CASE
School Authorities Also ON Job.
Arrest Another Suspect.
Believed Harmless.

The police and Board of Education
authorities are making every effort
to quiet the Jack the Ripper" rumors
which have spread among school chill
dren in the city. The police believe
that the excitement among the chill
dren and their parents in some Sec
tions of the city will result in trouble
If the agitation continues.
While the police are still holding
the latest Jack the Ripper suspect
arrested last night, Captain Tuite, of
the detective bureau, said today that
the man appears harmless. He told
the police when he was arrested last
night that he was out of work and
had had nothing to eat for forty eight
hours. He is locked up at police head
quarters.
The man under arrest is Michael
10th, who stole a ride to this city
last night in the back of an express
wagon driven by Leonard Forden, Qf
III Sussex avenue, this city. 10th
was Immediately CONNECTED with the
ripper rumors when child's rattle
was found in q bundle which he car
ried
According to Forden, he first no
tlCpd the man Ill tHe DdCk OF bIS
wagon as ne left the ferry at Jersey
City. He paid no attention to him,
and allowed him to remain in the
bottom of the wagon. Just before
Forden reached the Plank road
bridge into Newark, he says, the
man attacked him and attempted to
choke him. Forden knocked him
back in the wagon. he says, and when
he reached Newark telephoned to the
Third precinct station. Plainclothes-
men Chenowith and Helmstetter
placed the man under arrest On Bow
cry street.
The man was taken to police head
quarters and questioned. In his
pocket was passport, showing that
he had come to this country from
Hungary in August of last year. He
had also a number OF other papers
and passes. covering his travels be-
tween various towns in Hungary.
He told Captain Tuite that he was
employed in the steel mills at South
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, but had
been laid off. He walked to New
York, he said, arriving there about
two weeks ago. He denied any
knowledge of the ripper cases, and
said that he was leaving New York
cit ybecause he could not find work
there.

LONDON, May 12.-Serious anti
German rioting was renewed in East
London today. Crowds of men and
women paraded the streets, breaking
windows of several butcher shops
conducted by men with German
names and throwing the furniture and
supplies into the streets. The crowd
also threatened Germans with phys
ical violence. The police were tempo
rarily powerless.
Several German butchers were
mobbed in Smithfield Market and
thrown into the street. One was
chased to the Harrington street sta
ton and finally drew revolver with
which he withstood the crowd that
was threatening him with death un-
til a train came along, which he
boarded and escaped.
The rioting and anti-German DEM

throughout the islands At Liverpool
Germans are unable to appear on the
streets, and many have voluntarily
sought internment In the prison
camps to protect themselves from yio-
lence.

DEMOTION OF
FIRE CH|EFSIS
CONTRARY TOLAW
Civil Service Board Decides
Reduced Officers Must Be
Reinstated.
ECONOMY PROPOSITION
is NOT APPLICABLE
Attorney-GeneraI Held That
Chiefs Had Not Been Properly
Served With Notice.
From a STAR Correepondent.

From n STAFF Correspondent.
TRENTON, May 1.-THE Civil Ser
vice Commission today decided that
the demotion of five fire battalion
chiefs in the Newark fire department
for reasons of economy were i'm
properly made and that the men are
entitled to be reinstated in the
positions previously held by them.
The five fire battalion chiefs were
ordered by the Newark fire commits
sioners reduced to the rank of cap
tain, beginning March is. The men
are Thomas S. Reilly. Charles c.
Storch, James Fagen, jr., Michael j.
Durkin and Cornelius Smith.
The decision of the commission to-
day sustains the views of Attorney
General Wescott to the effect that the
demotion could not be made for the
reason of economy
The commission in its decision
says:
I'm connection with the passage
and service of this resolution there
We're presented to the Civil Service
Commission several questions tho
more important being, first, whether
compliance with the provision of sec
ton "a of the civil service law that in
the case of a reduction the persons
reduced should be furnished with a
written statement of the reasons for
such action and be allowed a reason
able time in which to make written
answer thereto, and, second, whether
the proposed reduction in rank would
be permissible and in accordance with
the provisions of a civil service act
providing that this had been properly
done.
Reduction Not Permissible.
1T was at first believed by the
commission that the form of the
notice as submitted and in the
manner submitted was in COM
pliance with section "a of the civil
service law, and that there was moth
ing in the civil service law which
would preclude economy as a suf-
ficient reason for such a reduction.
1t was further believed that the pro-
visions of the civil service law thai
wherever. a position is abolished the
'person holding the same should GO
upon a preferred list for two years
for eertification to the same or a
similar position, would possibly per-
NIT of the certification of the bat
TALON chiefs whose positions had
been abolished, should they be placed
upon preferred list, to the rank of
captain, and that, therefore, the re-
duction of the battalion chiefs to the
position of captain would be permis-
sible either by direct demotion or by
certification from the preferred
eligible list.
The introduction of Assembly bill
SIG, designed in part to legalize such
demotions without depriving those
denoted of the right of priority
to reinstatement to the position
previously held, which bill the Legis-
lature> passed, but which did not be-
come a law, delayed somewhat the
action of the commission in a final
decision of this matter.

TIN HAT IS INNOVATION
Designer Puts Forth Many Reasons Why 1t Should Be Accepted as
 an Article of Attire.

The latest innovation in mems ap- parel has been sprung by w. H. Whiting of Jonesboro, Me. It is a tin hat, with band made of copper. He fashioned the natty headpiece him. self. It is not only very light in weight, but he claims that it is cheap CT than straw bonnet" lasts longer and is absolutely rainproof
 Writings tin hat has a luster all it's own, something that takes the shine off all other hats. It is more showy than Mambrino's helmet made famous by Don Quixote. Writings s hat is made Of tin, common sheet tin, the same kind of tin that baked beans and sardines and tomatoes are put in.
 It is built on a 1915 model and no fashionable youth of the town can put anything over" on him in the matter of style. It is neat, but not gaudy, a tin body with copper band, not quite as brilliant as a ribbon with college colors, but more substan1sai and quite as attraetsy-s At least, It attracts plenty Of attention when writing aars it on the streets.

MIGHTY POWER OF LOVE
Great Truth in Words Which Emer- son Is Put on Record as
 Having Spoken.

It was Emerson who said, An ac- ceptance of the sentiment of love throughout Christendom for a season, would bring the felon and the outcast to our side in tears, with the devotion of his faculties to our service. Love would put a new face on this weary old world, in which we dwell as pa gans and enemies too long, and it would warm the heart to see how fast the vain diplomacy of statesmen, the impotence of armies and navies and lines of defense, would be superseded by this unarmed child" Alas that the sentiment has not been accepted but instead the world and the indi- vidual have been laying their plans. and directing their action, by a calcu- Iation of chances which, of course, can be no bigger than the human mind that does the calculating. That love has not been tried is proved by the collapse of commercial ciYili- zation, but the things of commerce and of calculation perish, while the sentiment of love endures, because it is of God, and being of God is sure in the end to triumph h.-Uniyersalist Leader.

HOW TO HEAL STUBBORN
 COMMENTING SKIN DISEASES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this simple, but reliable and inexpensive, home treatment for people suffering with eczema, ringworm, rashes and similar itching, burning skin troubles.
 At any reliable druggists get a jar of resinol ointment and cake of resi- nol soap. These will not cost a bit more than seventy-five cents. With the resinol soap and warm water bathe the affected parts thoroughly, until they are free from crusts and the skin is softened. Dry very gently, spread on thin layer of the resinol oint- ment, and cover with light bandage If necessary to protect the clothing This should be done twice day. Usu- ally the distressing itching and burn ing stop with the first treatment, and the skin soon becomes clear and healthy again.-Adv.

BOTH ADEPTs IN DECEIT
How Signals Arranged For Between Soldier and His Wife Really
 We're Carried On.

The captain had not been long mar ried when he was ordered into camp. To be sure, the camp was in plain sight of the captains residence, but then 1t was still separation; and to tighten this terrible condition it was arranged that the bereaved h-Isband and wife should signal to each other often with their handkerchiefs. It was on the second day that the young wife was seated on the porch reading. Tell me, Jane," said she, lis the captain still signaling?" "Yes, ma'am," an swered the maid "Then keep waving your handkerchief. I want to finish this novel" At the same time, in camp an officer from an adjoining company stepped up to the captain. q say, old fellow" he asked, why do you keep that man out there all day waving a handkerchief?" "Oh, it's merely bit of signal-code practice for him.
