BISHOPS’ LAW REVOLT
ALL OVER JERSEY
No City Pretends to Obey the
Statute.
GOV. FORT’S EFFORTS FUTILE
Officials and Prosecutors Everywhere
Dodge Enforcement — Enemies
of the Law Jubilant—Germans
United to Obtain Beer Sunday.
Trenton, N. J. — Atlantic City’s
open defiance of the Bishops’ law is
only symptomatic of the almost gen
eral nullification of the law by every
community in this State. The testi
mony taken within the last six weeks
by Governor Fort’s Excise Inquiry
Commission, of which Mayor Charles
J. Fisk, of Plainfield, is chairman,
discloses the whole State in a revolt
against this one of its vital enact
ments.
Not only lias it been shown that
the people ignore the law where they
do not refuse pointblank to obey it,
the hearings have been crowded with
local elective officials—sheriffs, may
ors, police chiefs, whose confessions
betray a brazen indifference to the
act and a general unwillingness to
force compliance with it; and, what
is even more significant, the Gover
nor’s own retinue of officials, judges
and county prosecutors, though
named for their offices only after
they had been foresworn to see that
this act of all on the statute books is
lived up to, stand confessedly neu
tral where they are not confessedly
paralyzed by the unconcealed popular
contempt for it.
The Bishops' law comes by its
name because it was framed and
pushed through the Legislature two
years ago by a coalition of interde
nominational clergymen, with Bish
ops McFaul and O’Connor, of the two
Catholic dioceses in New Jersey, and
Bishop Lines, of the Newark Episco
pal Diocese, at their head. Its chief
aim is to compel a strict observance
of the Sunday laws by the saloon and
hotel men of the State. There had
always been a Sunday observance law
in New Jersey. But up to the time
when the system of exposure and
punishment mapped out in the Bish
ops’ law became operative no one
heeded it.
When, as the result of this agita
tion, the Bishops’ excise law was
passed, the saloon men set up a cry
against its rigors. The closing of the*
saloons would not make the people
more sober they argued; the only
effect would be to throw into the bars
of New York from one end of the
State and into the bars of Philadel
phia from the other end great sums
of money that ought to be kept in
New Jersey. Then came the Germans
of Jersey City, Hoboken, Newark,
Paterson, Elizabeth, Trenton and
Camden to protest against being de
prived of their sip of beer at their
wonted Sunday afternoon family and
social gatherings.
The protest became so general all
along the line, and particularly in the
more crowded and cosmopolitan lo
calities, that the local officials began
to look about them for pretexts for
laxness in the enforcement of the act.
Governor Fort is trying to find
some expedient that will enable him
to keep his pledge to see that the
law is strictly enforced. The avowed
opponents of the act are jubilant over
the disclosures, and are even talking
about naming candidates for the Sen
ate and Assembly pledged to vote for
its repeal.
The situation In the State is much
like that described in a recent maga
zine artile by a writer from Maine,
who says that all Maine wants prohi
bition, but all Maine wants grog, too.

$173,000 STOLEN FROM
• 0. S. SUB-TREASURY
Assorting Teller G. W. Fitzgerald
Arrested For Robbery.
HUGE SUM VANISHED IN 1907
Suspicion Aroused by Fitzgerald’s At
tempt to Negotiate $1000 Bill
and Speculation in Eggs—Oth
ers Are Implicated.
Chicago, 111.—The mystery of the
theft of $173,000 from the United
States Sub-Treasury a year and a
half ago, one of the largest losses the
Government has ever suffered in this
manner, is believed to have been
solved by the arrest of George W.
Fitzgerald. Others are believed to
have been implicated in the crime
which for months completely baffled
Government Secret Service men.
Fitzgerald was an assorting tellei*
under Assistant United States Treas
urer William Boldenwreck. Suspic
ion at the time of the theft, February
20, 1907, rested on him, but so plaus
ible was his story and so intense his
apparent interest in discovering the
real culprit, that interest ceased to
centre in him. Much work was done
on the theory that the crime had been
perpetrated by a colored man.
Meanwhile Fitzgerald was dis
charged from the Government employ
for culpable negligence in allowing
such a theft to be consummated under
his very eyes. The money stolen had
been used and was tied in packages,
some having been marked for de
struction at Washington. Any of the
bills would readily have passed any
where except for their large denom
inations. None of the bills was under
$500, and some were of the $1000
and $5000 denominations, the $1000
ones predominating.
The theft created a sensation
throughout the country, and Con
gress at the last session was asked
and refused to release Assistant
Treasurer Boldenwreck from liability,
although it was promised that Con
gress would again consider the mat
ter at its next session.
Meanwhile Herbert F. Young, a
former Chicago newspaper reporter
and now head of a secret service
agency, became interested, at first
without official connection with the
case, but later as the agent of Mr.
Boldenwreck. Mr. Young’s attention
was redirected to Fitzgerald. The
latter, upon his discharge from the
Sub-Treasury, stated that his whole
fortune consisted of $600 in cash and
a atock certificate for $1000. His
wife had a $700 interest in the estate
of her mother, which was valued at
about $4000 and was in litigation.
Fitzgerald, however, according to Mr.
Young, embarked in speculation on a
sacle not consistent with the size of
his reputed means.
There was no ostentation in Fitz
gerald's life. The lavish display
which detectives usually look for in
tracing stolen funds, was absent.
Fitzgerald bought eggs for specula
tion and stored them. In July; 1907,
he inaugurated an egg deal which ul
timately, it is said, Involved an ex
penditure of $7000, and the following
March a similar deal involved him,
according to Mr. Young, to the extent
of $15,000. Incidentally, the former
teller had become the possessor, in
his wife’s name, of a brick house val
ued at $8500 in Rogers Park, a sub
urb of Chicago. Mr. Young declared
that this purchase was made in a
roundabout way, passing through
several hands, and finally into those
of Mrs. Fitzgerald for a consideration
of $1.
Under detective surveillance ever
3ince the robbery, suspicion was di
rected more strongly than ever to him
last month when Fitzgerald is said to
have offered a $1000 bill for $500 to
Colonel Harry C. Gano, superinten
dent of A. Booth & Co., a leading
mercantile establishment. The money
stolen from the Sub-Treasury was in
thousand dollar bills. It was stolen
from the cage in which Fitzgerald
was employed. Fitzgerald’s salary
had been only $1800 a year.
Colonel Gano notified Sub-Treasu
rer Boldenwerck of the alleged offer,
and the latter engaged the detective
agency to investigate. The evidence
against Fitzgerald is circumstantial
mainly, and the strongest part of it
is submitted by a man whose word,
while trustworthy, is not corrobor
ated clearly. Fitzgerald defies the au
thorities to bring into court evidence
competent to convict him.
The trial, it is intimated, involved
others not only in helping dispose of
the money alleged to have been sto
len, but in the very act of extracting
It from the Treasury vaults. It had
not been intended to arrest Fitzger
ald at this time, but it was found
that those under suspicion had ob
tained an inkling of developments,
and it was decided to act quickly.

FLEET QT SYDNEY
American Warships Greeted by
New South Wales Populace.
GUNS ROAR AND FLAGS FLY
Shores of the Australian Harbor
Dined With Great Multitudes of
Enthusiastic People — Salutes
From Forts and Ships.
Sydney, New South Wales.—A thin
veil of smoke on the horizon signalled
to the watchers on the coast the ap
proach of the American warships, and
at 5.35 a. m. official notification was
sent out that the fleet had been
sighted. It was yet twenty miles out
side of Sydney Harbor, but this word,
which had been awaited eagerly by
tens of thousands, stirred Australians
like a call to arms, and almost in
stantly those who had not already
left the city to take up positions of
vantage along the bays, were moving
in droves to line the quays, the roof
tops, and other places on the harbor
front to watch the coming of the
guardships of the New World.
The day broke bright and clear. So
intense was the interest in the Amer
ican ships of war that half the popu
lace had remained awake the entire
night and thousands upon thousands
of them long before the night was
over were on their way to the hill
tops outside the city limits, where
they massed seemingly in unbroken
lines along .the coast from Bondi
Beach to Manly.
It is estimated that hardly less
than half a million people assembled
to give the visitors a royal welcome.
Sydney Harbor, with its innumerable
bays, coves and branches, never
looked more beautiful, nor did the
American sailors ever witness a more
inspiring sight than that which met
their eyes as the white ships came
through the channel past the great
headlands into Port Jackson.
A hundred thousand people, the
greatest single assemblage of all,
gathered on .the south head, where a
magnificent view of the whole scene
was to be hhd. Hundreds of craft of
ail kinds moved up and down even at
that early hour, all the waters, with
the exception of the fairway and the
anchorage, being dotted with little
and big vessels decorated in every
conceivable manner with flags and
bunting.
In perfect alignment, the flagship
Connecticut leading, with Rear-Ad
miral Sperry on the bridge, the war
ships came out of the horizon. Pass
ing in through the Sydney Heads in
double column at intervals of 400
yards, the ships looked to have a
world of speed and power under their
glistening- sides. The fleet was at
tended by convoy steamers and was
greeted with a roar of salutes from
the forts as it steamed slowly along.
The thousands ashore and afloat
added their cheers to swell the noisy
welcome, and countless British and
American flags were flung to the
breeze and still were waving long
after the anchors had been swung
from, the sides.
The American ships boomed forth
a salute to the port, and as spon as
they were safely moored at their
anchorage official visits were ex
changed.
DR. 3. D. PHEDPS DIES A SUICIDE.
Financial Secretaryof Syracuse Shoots
Himself in Utica, N. V.
Utica, N. Y.—The Rev. Dr. James
Duane Phelps, of Syracuse, financial
secretary of Syracuse University,
committed suicide in his room at the
Wurz Hotel by shooting. A revolvei
and cartridges which he carried tc
the hotel with him and a note writ
ten on the paper in which the wea
pon had been wrapped gave conclu
sive evidence that Dr. Phelps’ act was
deliberate.
The cartridge box was full save foi
the six necessary to fill the chambers
of the revolver. On the piece ol
green wrapping paper which had en
closed the revolver and the cartridges
when he brought them into the hotel
was written in a firm hand in four
lines this message:
“My name is J. D. Phelps, of Syra
cuse. I have done this because I did
not dare to live. Still, I believe
Christ died for the uttermost man.”
The Coroner took charge of the re
volver, the box of cartridges, some
papers in the dead man's pockets, a
gold watch and a card case contain
ing three $10 bills and two $1 bills
and a number of visiting cards.

Prohibition Candidate Notified of
His Nomination.
H!S ADDRESS OF ACCEPTANCE
At Music Hall, in Cliicago, in tho
Presence of a Large Audience,
Eugene W. Chafin, of Cliicago,
Accepted Prohibition Nomination
Chicago.—At Music Hall, in the
presence of a large and enthusiastic
audience, Eugene W. Chafin, of Chi
cago, accepted the nomination for the
Presidency by the Prohibition party.
The notification address was made by
Professor Charles Scanlon, of Pitts
burg.
In his speech of acceptance Mr.
Chafin said In part:
“We are now approaching the close
of another fifty years, where two
dominant political parties, Republican
and Democratic, have allied them
selves with the most gigantic crime
that ever cursed the world and by
their attitude made known to the
American people that they do not
propose to permit them to have a
chance, even though the majority
may favor it, to destroy .the liquor
traffic and add another amendment
to the Constitution which would
mark the highest achevement of civ
ilization in the world's history.
“The lofty ideals of twentieth cen
tury statesmanship call for a United
States Senate born of an intelligent
people’s conscience instead of mock
ing statues surmounting the pedestals
of concentrated wealth; the equaliza
tion of public burdens by a system
that will compel the rich to pay their
proper proportion of the costs of gov
ernment. A graduated income and
inheritance tax will be a long step in
this direction.
“The development of the trusts
has changed entirely all the old the
ories of a protective tariff and free
trade, and the people demand legis
lation in their interest on this im
portant matter, which can best be
worked out by a permanent tariff
commission. Ours is the only party
that strikes a blow at the social evil,
so closely allied to the liquor traffic,
and proposes the only practical meth
od of stamping out polygamy
throughout the nation by a uniform
marriage and divorce law.
“While not a line of history will
be changed by the election of a Re
publican or Democrat, the triumph of
the Prohibition party and the placing
of its platform in the Constitution
and upon the statute book will write
the longest, brightest, purest and
most beneficent chapter of history
that has marked the progress of civ
ilization since governments were in
stituted among men.”
