JEWS, Fasting,
PRAY FOR PEACE
KeepingYom Kippur, They
Fill Every Synagogue
in the City.

In thousands Of synsgogues In Ne1
York and in countless other thousands
throughout the country and in othes
lands a special prayer for peace Is be.
ing offered. The peace prayer was
made a special feature Of the You
Kippur ceremonies. which began At SUM
set last night and will continue untQ
sunset tonight.
For the twenty-four hours every
Jewish house Of worship will be crowd.
ed, the men in prayer shawls and skull
caps occupying the floor, while women
throng the galleries. To accommodate
the worshippers East Side moving pict.
ure houses, theatres and dance halls
were converted into makeshift syns.
gogues. for no true Jew will omit the
visit 20 the synagogue, and thousands
upon thousands will spend the entire
tventy-four hours OF Yom Kippur Al
the ceremonies.
Before sunset the last meal was
eaten and the house put in readiness
for the day OF fasting that precedes the
feast Of tonight. The synsgogues were
prepared to receive the aood OF worS
shippers.
Cantors had mounted their bemas
prepared for the long vigil. They wers
surrounded by their choirs, men and
bows wearing prayer shawls OF ~nite
silk edged with black. Throughout tne
night the congregations, the esntors
and the choirs chanted the psalms OF
Israel.
TODAY is a day of iEcessant prayer.
In the afternoon comes the yisksr, tnd
PRAYER for the dead, which marks tne
beginning OF the end OF the Day OF
Atonement. The Mia Is sung, and then
comes the shout vocal with the nope Oh
ages:
"In the year TO come we shall be IN
our Holy Land
Next comes the intoned prayer OF
mariv, and the praying hosts Know ina!
the sun is setting and another Day OF
Atonement is almost at an end. AS tne
final invocation comes TO close ,here
is a shuttle OF shoeless feet, and the
congregation, weak from aostention
from food and drink and rscked by IN
action, slowly makes It's way 70 tns
door.
Shoes are donned, and the ancient
ceremony retreats at once into tns
shadow of the past as the lights ana
clamor of the city beat IN upon the
throng. Briskly the last knot Is tied
and the last worshipper starts for tho
home. where the feast will proclaim
again that Yom Kippur is past.

.N.Y.FOR HUGHES,
.BARNESDECLARES
Sees 100000 Majority in
State-Whitman to
Win, Too.

William Barnes is working hard for
a big Hughes vote in this state. He
declared yesterday that he believed
Hughes would carry the state by 2OO,-
600 Mr.. Barnes expects that Governor
Whitman will be reelected hsndily,
but friends OF the Old Guard leader say
that he is somewhat Indifferent TO the
Whitman cause.
Governor Whitman has enemies,
Barnes remarked 20 a friend, but
when il comes TO voting the Repub-
Leans will not turn over the state &
Tammany."
Barnes, like some other state lead
ers, also feels that the Governor -
lucky 70 be running again in Presl-
Dental year, and that Mr.. Hughes's
strength in the state will greatly IN
crease his majority over Samue! Sea
bury, his Democratic opponent In
other words, the Governor has fallen
into a political stub Of butter" and
is we'll creased 70 slide through.
The former state chairman said that
he believed every Northern stats
would give Hughes a majority, lnclud-
ing even Oklahoma, which the wilson
campaign managers consider safely
Democratic. Barnes said the situation
in Ohio was peculiar" but that he
was of the opinion it would work out
all right in the Hughes column. There
was q good fighting chance for the Re-
publicans in Missouri, and Kentucky
was doubtful, he said.
The Barnes estimate OF 100000
majority for Hughes in the state IS
understood to be based on a recent
canvass made by men who are close 20
the former leader. In Albany County,
where Barnes reigns supreme, ne
rolled up $1,000 majority for Robert
Bacon against William VI. Calder, the
organization candidate in the prima-
ries for United States Senator. Tn.
Barnes men are said TO have discour-
aged Calder from going into Albany
County and making speeches

A tattered black skirt from which
masks had been cut, an old blue serge
cap with a bullet hole in II and an
automobile license tag with the num-
Der ll4220, Pa, were the clews which
led 70 the arrest of the FIVE men sus-
poets and the black-eyed girl. These
articles were found in field near the
scene Of the hold-up by Andrew Eth
ridge, of ASTON, y. j. He turned them
over 20 Prosecutor Kelsey OF Burling-
ton County, who found that the auto
license number had been issued 20
Frank Vassella, of 1147 South Eighth
Street, Philadelphia.
When the police called there Vassella
was in bed. He denied all knowledge
Of the hold-up, although he admitted
visiting Hammonton yesterday ito see
friends" While the police we're ques
tioning Vassella some one tried 20
creep out OF the front door OF the
house. The detectives found 1t was
Giuseppe Russo.
Italian Girl Discovered.
Further search Of the house led 70
the discovery Of the pretty Italian girl,
who the police believe is the real leader
of the gang. She gave her name as
Mile De Marco and the police say she
has record. Last autumn she worked
as a cranberry picker in the Rider
boys at Mount Holly. and the detectives
believe she became informed OF the TACT
that on Thursdays Mr.. Rider usually
motored 70 his cranberry farm with the
$4,000 payroll, and that she notified the
band and plotted yesterdays attack.
This view is strengthened by state
mert made - Carmina Carpuchio, a
picker in Riders employ. She told
detectives she had seen a letter sent 70
one OF her fellow employees, giving
instructions concerning the method Of
attack. This man IS being sought By
the police.

Typist Gives Alarm Which
Drives Masked Men
from Booty.
ARMED PAIR HOLD
UP CIGAR FACTORY
Appearance of Employees
Saves Payroll from
Highwaymen.

The courage OF Miss Hannah Kap-
Ian, stenographer for Pohalski & Co.,
cigar manufacturers, OF 466 Broone
Street, prevented two masked hold-up
men from getting away with $500
yesterday afternoon. Although covered
by the robbers revolvers, Miss Kaplan
managed 70 crawl into an inner office,
where she gave the alarm which re-
suited in a rush Of workmen from the
factory. They routed the thieves be-
fore they had an opportunity 70 gather
up the weekly payroll spread out Oh
desk before being placed in the en-
ployes' envelopes.
About o'clock, as Lincoln A Lin
coin, Il member Of the firm, was ar
ranging the payroll, with the assist
ance Of Miss Kaplan and another girl
in his Office, on the second floor Of me
Broome Street building, a young man,
posing as a soldier who had been
stricken with fever in the Philippines,
came In and asked for money, showing
card 20 back up his story. He left
the outer Office after receiving a dime.
Masked Men Enter Office.
Two minutes later the door OF the
inner Office was pushed open by two
partially masked men, who threatened
Nr. Lincoln and the two girls with
reyolvers and ordered them 20 throw
up their hands. While the two men
were engrossed with sweeping the
money into a pile Miss Kaplan crawled
through a side door into the Office Of
Edgar R. Lincoln, another member OF
the firm, screaming that highwaymen
were after the payroll
Mr.. Lincoln hurried down 10 the
street, shouting for help and blowing
a police whistle. On the stairs he met
the robbers, frightened off empty
handed by the appearance of factory
workers answering Miss Kaplan's
screams.
Covered by their revolvers, he Jet
them pass, and they fed north on
Greene Street to Spring Street, where
they jumped into a waiting automo-
bile, which went west.
