"I'll bet you can't eat SO of them," said Ray Harvey. "Betcha I can," responded JJ.

"If you eat SO oysters I'll pay. for them. If you don't you pay for 100." proposed Ray. 1 said U. as he left for work.

Stephenson, former grand dragon of the Indiana Ku KIux Klan was on his way to Michigan City to begin serving a life senteuce for the murder of Madge Oberholtzer of Indianapolis. Hours before this quiet county seat town was awake, its best known resident for the past seven months was hurried away in a motorcar. The prisoner was in charge of Sheriff Charles A. Gooding and two deputies. He was not shackled or handcuffed.

Only a few newspapermen who had kept watch over Jhe Hamilton county jail since Judge Will M. Sparks yesterday declined to stay the sentence one month, witnessed the departure. They followed the officers and their prisoner In a second car. 'Continued on Twc. TAKE STEPHENSON 10 STATE PRISON Unanimously Named to Fill Unexpired Term of Late Fred L.

Hurley. NO ENDORSEMENT OF WRESTLING PROGRAM Assemblyman Peter F. Dodd of Neptune last night was unanimously i appointed to membership on the Neptune township board of education for the unexpired term ot the late Fred L. Hurley, whose term expires next February, with those of ohn stout and Lyle E. Shafto, the latter now in the south.

Tl.e appointment of Mr. Dodd was recommended by former President John F. Knox and there were no other nominees. Mr. Dodd automatically becomes a member of the finance and educational committees.

to which Mr. Hurley had been assigned by President Walter D. Franklin at the opening ot the present school year. The president and clerk of the board were named to draft a set of resolutions in memory of the late member who died, in the west eatly this month. Mr.

and Mrs. John Gretin of Ninth avenue, Bradley Park, appeared before the board to ask that a line fence which the board is building between their property and tho Bradley Park echool be set over on the line Both claimed that the contractor was encroaching upon their property. At first it was eald to be several inchea to the went of the line 1 furnished by Engineer Nlart Rogers but as the discussion wore on It developed to be nothing more than the fact that In setting the posts In concrete, there was a difference of less than an inch. The fence, It was explained by Chairman William E. Taylor of the building committee, will be erected on the school property and the posts were ordered set on the line In view of the fact that tho board is standing the full expense of the fence and not charging any part of the construction to the Gretlns.

John Knox was instructed to Investigate tho work and see that there was no encroachment. Hospital bills totaling more than $200 were ordered paid by the board when It was explained that students had been Injured while engaged In football and the board felt It was no more than right that the parents should be relieved ot the expense of medical care. Three lads, It was reported, had to be sent to the hospital but all were well on the road to recovery, (Continued on Page Two). Firemen Save Asbury Pet Indian From Fate of Being Burned at Stake GIRL ATBANDIT" Phone Line Gang Identifies Photo of Missing Smith College Student. DEMANDED FOOD AT POINT OF REVOLVER NORTHAMPTON.

CORBETT clnlty of Whltirtg's Peak, near here. State Detective Joseph V. Daly and other police officials left here this, morning, with bloodhounds. In a renewed search for the missing girL The-foreman of the gang linemen, shown a photograph of the girl, was able to identify it as the girl who visited the lineman's noonday camp yesterday, demanded food at the point of a revolver and fter eating ravenously, disappeared In the woods nearby. Another man, not a member of the linemen gang, reports to Detective Daly that a short time after the girl had visited the linemen's camp, and about a mile from the camp, she accosted him, and brandishing a revolver, ordered him to get out of the vicinity.

The man's de- fC'Vitjnaed on page twn 11 Oiu fireman leaped from the apparatus and dashed to a signal box at Heck and Sewall avenue, summoning more apparatus, as it looked from the corner as It the old Excursion pavilion was aflame. As the bell sounded scores of persons were attracted to the scene. A chemical, line was run from Engine No. 1 and a stream was played on the blazing frame pedestal for several minutes until it was apparent the fire had subsided. Firemen armed with axe9 started to chop away the pedestal to make certain that the blaze was out, w-hen they were greeted with another "burst of flame from underneath.

More chemical from the same apparatus was used, until the supply of the tank was exhausted. In tbe meantime over in the Washington firehouse, Ocean Grove, a demonstration of a new fire engine was being made. When the alarm sounded, the demonstrators decided that it was a good opportunity to show their aparatus. When they reached the scene of the red hot Indian, who still stood unconcerned, the demonstrators' ot the new engine started to run a chemical line to the statue. The engine, however, was contrary and refused to show, for the chemical tank was empty.

Fire Chief William S. Taggart, observing the engine brought here from Ocean Grove, go ordered one of the local engines to run a chemical line. This was done and the burning base "extinguished. Soon the apparatus returned, the old still unmoved by the excitement, keeping his eyes turned to the east and this morning, as in the past, watched the sunrise. In lofty disregard of the fact that the happy hunting ground had loomed near for him." Special.

21. OP) Despite persistent reports that the Rhinelander annulment suit will be settled out of court, Isaac N. Mills, counsel for Leonard Kip Rhinelander, the wealthy young plaintiff, today said definitely that the case will continue. "I am in complete control of this case," he said, "it will continue. There have been no negotiations for a set tlement.

A statement will be made In court on Monday morning." It was the Introduction of two "mystery" letters written by Leonard to his negro bride Alice Beatrice Jones, that caused yesterday adjournment of tho case until Monday t'j give counsel for Rhinelander an opportunity to investigate them.

In few Instances, it is my desire to prevent, wherever possible, the unscrupulous dealer from taking advantage of the acute situation to short weight the public.

"Coal is delivered by truck or wagon in bulk, or as a matter convenience, In canvas bags. It is generally supposed that a bag of coal weighs 100 pounds, and as a rule these bags will average that weight, yet-this Is not necessarily so. "In ouV experience we have found coal that will weight only 80 pounds per bag, and again that will run as high as 120 pounds per bag. Coal must be sold by weight only, so in order to comply with the law every delivery must be weighed heavy, the tare weight having been determined beforehand, and the net contents determined. "Each delivery must be accom panied by a delivery slip, in duplicate, showing the name of tho dealer, name and address of purchaser and net amount of coal In pounds.

The original is signed and returned to the dealer for his records, and the duplicate given to the purchaser. When receiving an order of coal count the number of bags In the wagon. "Unless the driver has more than one order, all coal on the wagon should be left at your residence. One case was developed in the county where a dealer was transporting a ton of coal in 22 bags. When held up by an Inspector he had full weight and left the full amount, but at other times was bringing back two bags, only leaving 20 bags on delivery, with a resultant loss to the consumer.

"In another case It was developed that the driver had two sets of tickets, one for the amount ordered, and one for the actual amount on the wagon. In case a member of this (Continued on Pa8 Two).

DOUBLED While the march of progress, slowly forced him from the public eye, faithful Uncas, Asbury's pet Indian, perched on a pedestal on the eastern apex of the old Excursion grounds at Lake and Munroe avenues, last night found himself In the center of a throng numbering hun-dreds. He had more attention last night than has been given him since the late James A. Bradley placed him there about 25 or 30 years ago. The Indian was brought here from Philadelphia or Brooklyn, when a number of other lead composition statues were erected to beautify various parts ot the city and provide "playthings for the children," as Founder Bradley put it. For years, standing stoically and immobile, the Indian, his bow and arrow held securely, has stood facing tho east and watching the eunrse over the waters ot the Atlantic.

For years persons living in the vicinity had noticed him dally, never flinching. The advance of the times, bringing niore buildings in the vicinity and the hurrying throngs, nearly pushed old Uncas into oblivion. Some sentimental person perhaps, thinking that the old Indian, was deserving of some attention, threw a 'cigaret near the base of the statue, it Is believed, which slowly spread until the old frame pedestal buret into flames. A person living in the apartments across the street, saw the flames and smoke. It was, perhaps, tho first time ho had ever noticed ojd Uncas.

Glenn L. Berry Is superintendent of tho department. Methods employed to defraud purchasers are described in the statement, which concludes with the remark that dealers, for the most part, are honest.
