"We have found several victims of
the fire," explained Miss Clark and
Mr. Hagan, "who are nursing their in
juries at their homes whose names
have not yet appeared in the published
list of the injured. Many of these, as
well as the families of some of the de
* ceased, arc in urgent need of relief.

MYSTERY OF R. R. i

Police Discover That Missing
Ticket Agent Has Long /

WAS SENT TO THE RAHWAY
REFORMATORY^ AT FIFTEEN
Was Sought Also by Chicago
Sleuths lor Burglary in
Windy City.
With a police alarm today for John
Edward Hughes, 24 years old, of 71
Sterling street. East Orange, whose
disappearance from home just at h
time when Detective John Drabell, of
Orange, really wants to have a heart
to-heart talk ' about the receipts
Wednesday night In the Orange sta
tion of the Lackawanna railroad, which
were taken from the office safe, all
mystery about the burglary at the
Cone street station early yesterday
morning was dissipated In the minds of
the police.
Hughes was employed by the Lacka
wanna railroad officials on Sunday
night, but under an assumed name—
Edward H. Hughes—a name, by the
way, under which he married in MenU
ham, In 11*06, an Elizabeth young
woman, who was surprised when De
tective Drabell called to see her yes
terday, and had marveled at his ab
sence from home. He has two children,
a lad of 6 and an Infant, and these, too,
were quite trouble^ over papa's ab
sence since Wednesday afternoon, when
he went to work.
Suspect Has Felice Record.
Detective Drabell has unraveled one
of the strangest problems the city po
lice have tackled. The suspeot has a
police record dating since 1901. robbed
several railroad ticket offices, yet man
aged to get references which landed
him In an Important job Sunday w*th
the Lackawanna folk. ,He gathered up,
Drabell and the railroad detectives say;
about $800 Wednesday night when the
commuters again gave up their big
charges for railroad tickets for Decem
ber pasteboards. He Ignored $1,200
which Agent Wllllan Atno had put in
the safe as bis receipts up to 3 o'clock,
when Hughes went on duty. Tho thief
relocked the safe and also relocked the
station door and the police decided at
once, when he was reported missing by
his wife, that Edward H. Hughes and
John Edward Hughes were the same
man.
any chances with this information,
however, until he saw Charles S.
Moore, chief parole officer of the Rah
way Reformatory, and the latter late
last night clinched the Information
Draboll had dug up with a portrait of
the man, which was identified this
morning by the railroad folk, and then
the Orange detective told the news
papermen a story that Is remarkable
in many ■ ways. The missing ticket
man had been arrested for several rob
beries of ticket offices in railroads, had
served .terms In the Rahway reforma
tory for numerous charges against
him in Essex county, and yet had land
ed a railroad job where he was given
carte blanche on the funds. He had
half a dozen references, and because of
a technicality the man's bonds had not
been approved and he was told to go to
work pending the straightening out of
the tangle.
Detective Drabell’s interview with
Chief Moore showed John Edward
Hughes’s first arrest was In 1901, for
robbing a bicycle store In Sur .mlt,
where his family has been known for
years. Daniel O. Hughes Is his father.
The lad was paroled by the Union
county folk, and on January 6 he was
again arrested by the. Summit police
for robbing the Wyoming ticket office,
since discontinued. "While he was In
the Essex County Jail Chief Brown, of
tho Summit force, was notified the
Newport News (Va.) police wanted his
charge for robbing the Southern rail
road's ticket office. The Essex county
folk, however, declined to give over the
youth. The prisoner was sent to Rah
way, but escaped, and was later re
captured. Hughes was paroled In 1904,
and went to Chicago. He later re
turned, and lived In South Tenth
street, Newark. He was then rear
rested for leaving the State while on
parole, and spent two years In Rah
way. The Chicago police notified Chief
Moore that he was wanted for a
burglarly In the Windy City, but they
let go the case when assured Hughes
w-as behind the bars. He was let out
of the reformatory In 1908, and the
next heard by Chief Moore was late
last night, when Detective Drabell In
terviewed him.

IF any impetus were needed to assure success to the great concert to be
given under the ausptcee of the STAR for the fire sufferers tonight at
Krueger Auditorium, that impetus was given with a vengeance when
Mme. Ernestine Schumann-Helnk. world-famous contralto, volunteered her
wonderful voice in free aid of the cause.
What this means is best realized when it is recalled that Mme. Schu

committee goes without saying, and s he will lead the long list of celebrities

And after the noted contralto had so generously oome forward with a

had become something of a culinary
expert through his sojourn in the
woods, was tossing flapjacks with all
the skill of a dairy lunch window

concurred In the statement that all

couple confirmed the statement that
they purpose writing a love story
based on their own romance
Tallman’s bride took occasion to deny
that she wilfully threw convention to
the winds when she fled with her
sweetheart, declaring that she had
sought to be legally married, but be

When Tallman and the girl, who de

from the Hackettstown Seminary for
Girls to be his woodland nymph, were
released by the Yonkers police, by
whom they were arrested on a tech

procured and last night the elopers

September 18—Met Beatrice in Mar

and subway uptown. Missed boat and
went to lodging-house. Rough place,
but slept well.
September 19—Had rolls and coffee
for breakfast. Made boat for Catskills.
Took Otis Incline railway for Palen

just about dark. Nothing to sleep on.
Made fire of branches and leaves.

Saturday—Rain. Cave .ery wet. and

SOP SEIZES MSS
HE SSIS SAVE HIM
BRIBE I0TELL LIE
Says Prisoner Handed Him
Money to Minimize Crime
Chafed Against Friend.
Erlco Plcelrelli was today accused of
attempting to bribe Plalnclothesman
Frank Brex by handing him two (6 bills
and promising him $60 or $100 more if
he would squash the case against
Michael Gaoob.
This charge wa* made In the Third
Precinct Police Court and later Brex
went to the First Precinct Police Court
and swore out a complaint of bribery
against the prisoner, who will be ar
raigned before Judge Hahn tomorrow.
The oomplalnt was made In the First
because the forms are kept there, and
It was more convenient. The money
alleged to have been given by Plcelrelli
Is in Brex’s possession and heavy ball
will be fixed by the court.
The attempt to have Brex go before
the grand jury and state t{>at the ar
rest of Gacob was made simply be
cause he permitted men to rusH the
growler and the girls to smoke was the
plan the briber Is alleged to have sug
gested to Brex.
Policeman Philip Kull says he had all
he could do to restrain Brex from beat
ing the prisoner, who was quickly hus
tled into the office of Chief Fred Wel
mer, of the prosecutor’s staff. It Is
alleged that in the presence of Chief
Welmer the prisoner admitted giving
the money.
,lmU' Hake Is laceaseil.
The fact that the alleged crime was
committed in the Court House shortly
before Brex and Kull were called be
fore the grand Jury to testify against
Gacob Incensed Judge Hahn, who de
clared that the case was one of the
w-orpt in the annals of the State.
On August 6 last, by order of Captain
Peter Christie, Brex and Kull raided »
house kept by Gacob at 20 Congress
street. They arrested Gacob, the al
leged proprietor: Thomas Tamburrl.
Df 181 Eighth avenue, this city; Jose
phine Serrano, of 121 Mott street, and
Jennie Friedman, of 29 Bast Third
street, the latter two of New Turk
;lty. Gacob furnished $1,000 bail for
the grand jury end the others $500 as
witnesses. The ease was balled yester
iany and Brex was surprised when he

Newark was my new birthplace—that I was a native daughter of that city
That sentiment was not skin-deep When the disaster of Saturday burned
and crushed out the lives of twenty-four young girls it shocked the diva
as poignantly as though she had been in reality a native daughter of the city
of the tragedy. Her perfect home life, her deep love for her children, her
benevolence and works of charity are world-known. So the shock of horror
was followed by a quick sympathy for the stricken ones left behind, and she
determined that she would Join herself to the movement for relief.
But Mme. Schumann-Helnk Is a very busy woman. She has literally more
engagements than she can fill, and she know that In no way could she help
the fire sufferers as well as by the gift of her voice In concert. She learned
of the great benefit at Krueger's Auditorium scheduled for tonight, then she
looked in her book of engagements and found that a most important one
would apparently make it Impossible for her to appear.
Business Takes Second Place.
Mme. Schumann-Helnk overcame the impossibility. She wired her man
ager to cancel the prior engagement, whatever the cost, and. despite his pro
tests, she forced him to cancel It. Then she called upon the committee and
modestly offered her services for the benefit.
