JOHN S. EDWARDS
Burglar, inventor and pleasing gen
tleman, when not forcing safes, faces
a long term in the Eastern Peni
tentiary. In the rough and ready language ucd
by the police, police court attorneys, mis
sion workers and those who associate
with the men and women who are rather
undesirable citizens, John S. Udwards,
who was held without ball by Magistrate
Tracy at the Eleventh and Winter streets
police station today, has had another fall.
The underworld considers a fall as
something that business men would style
a falluie.
Edwards today admitted that Edwards
was only an assumed name, but that lie
had used it for the better part of his
life.
His redl name, he stated, was J. F. V.
Szutek and he said that for the most of
the time since his iolcae from the East
ern renltentiary he lived nt 1913 North
Twelfth streit.
At the close of the hearing Lieutenant
Smiley read a letter from George D. Por
ter, Director of Public Safetv, commend
ing Winnie and Kent, policemen, for
causing the arrest of Edwards.
2t"S""'"break Into n saloon.
Edward Is an Inventor. Ho has made
more monev with the "JImmv" and the
brace and bit, but then, although John
Jived off the earnings of his burglaries
and safe robbing Jobs, never boasted of
them but preferred to talk about his In
entlons. Edwards was released several months
ago from the Eostern Penitentiary, after
nerving a sentence for burglary.
He was never a model prisoner, but not
withstanding he won the friendship of
Hobert J. McKenty, warden of the prNon.
In IMS, while serving a term In the
Eastern Penitentiary for robbery, Ed
wards, with Charles Herger, sealed the
walls. In the Jump from a 3)-foot gate
way Edward3 received a hioken log.
Guards who had seen the eJope came.
upon him while they were searching, the
tlower beds outside the pribon wall by
forcing the follngq back with 'he barrels
of shotguns.
Edwards smiled when a guard pushed
a gun against his iliest and mid. "I'm
It, but you haven't got my paidner."
IJergcr was captured in Chester when,
famished, he went to the home of a tela
tlve to beg food.
Since Ids last ielene from prison Ed
wards Is said to have had a love affair
and also to have cherished a hatied to
euioonkeepers.
As far as the police know he has robbed
none but saloonkeepers. He s.ijs he was
educated In saloons and he la turning
lils education to use nynlnst the ki.opt.-is
of bar rooms.
A young woman who lled In the SIM
block on Notth Tenth street Is also satd
to have interested Edwards. Ho confi
dentially told friends that he exported to
nmiry the young woman. She has left the
homo ot her mother since EdwnnU' ar
rest, and the mother says that there was
but little between Edwards and her
daughter
Edwaids left prison last winter nnd
went to the young woman's homo to
board. He spent marly every night out,
but always explained his absonco In some
rlauslble manner. The pollco say that
every night ho was away from his room
he was using Ills "Jimmy" and cold chisel
forcing open windows, cash drawers and
small safes.
All the time Edwards was planning for
the marriage with his landlady's daugh
ter, it Is also said.
lie did not tell tho girl that he was a
Jail bird." To her he was a mechanic
and a mighty good one, for ho always
had money, spent with n smile, and
knew wheie to get more money when a
night was expensive.
Then came the fall. Tha Petectlve Ilq.
reau, when Edwards was released, de.
tailed a man to keep an eyo on him. The
man was able to tell how much Edwards'
supper bill was, what he spent for other
things, nnd all the other minor detniu
of life, but could not tell how Edwards
kept his pockethook ftlli-cl and that was
the main thing for "Hob" Cameron, chief
V the Bureau.
Edwards shook off his detective shadow
one night last week, drew his Jimmy and
started to work on the front door of WIN
klnson's saloon, Ninth and Filbert streets.
Edwards was keeping his eyes open for
smooth and plausible Central station de
tectives. One, whom he called "harness
bull," swinging a club, slipped up behind
John and placed against his head the bar
rel of a revolver.
"Well, I guess you got me." said Ed
wards, as he handed over his "Jimmy "
"Thanks for the bouquet," replied the
cop, who Is Kent, of the Eleventh and
Winter streets police station.
Edwards while in the Eastern Peniten
tiary took an Interest In the flower gar
dens and the machine shop. He was busy
every minute of his waking hours. He
Invented a doorknob which he said was
burglar proof, because when it was
fastened and set ho could not turn It.
If Edwards could not work the knob the
police are of the opinion that no one
eUe could.
Edwards made a new kind of a cans
seat for chairs and hitched up a, motor
which he said was as near perpetual
motion as any engine would come. The
motor was run by spools. When one
spool, cast Into water, would sink, a
second spool would bob to the surface
A hitch In the plnn to take Adolph
Segal to the Stnto Hospital for the
Insane at Norristown became evident
this afternoon. Pegal h stilt In hii pri
vate room nt the hospital. Officials t 'ere
say he will not be taken nway from the
ho'pltnl today, and that they do not
know when the departure will be made
At the Norristown Institution the rtibtf
resident physician, Dr. Miller, said that
he did not know when Mr. Regal would
arrive.
Mr. Segal Is still In Ignorance of the
plnns to confine him In the State Hos
pital. Two signatures of trustees to the
I commitment papers are all that remain
to be secured to make legal the transfer
j of tho one-time wizard of finance.
Jacob I.irrtuan, fuim the law olll cs of
Tintln .t Chapman at 1410 Chestnut
street, started out today to obtain these
signatures, nnd Mr. Segal was to have
been taken to Norristown thlb afternoon.
He will be told when he leaves the hos
pital that he is to have an automobile
ride.
Mrs. Segal said today In her npart-
menti at the Majestic Hotel that she
I does not exneet tn neenmnanv her hus
band to Norristown.
"I do not expect tn mak cthe tilp,"
she said. "It would be too much for
me, I fear. Mr. Iterl Segal left here this
morning to see his father at the hos
pital, nnd then to go to tho lawyer's
oitlce to arrange for taking lilm to Norris
town." Hcrl Seeal, his son, spent omo time
with Adolph Segal at St. Joseph's Hos
pital this morning. Physicians at the
Institution said that there had been lit
tle change in the financier's condition to
day. Lust night he had a shoit lucid in
terval, but this did not continue for any
length of time.
A bond of ?.00 required by the State for
patients admitted to the Norristown hos
pital will be filed today by I3erl Segal.
All other arrangements for the transfer
of Segal have been mnde.
Dr William H. Bunn, of C2S North
Twenty-second street, the Segal family
phvslclan, suffered a slight stroke of
apoplexy this morning that affected hlVi
virion and he will not be able to ac
company his patient to Norristown. Dr.
Hunn Is about C3 years old. He has been
Mr. Segal's physician for more than 15
years. He Is one of the two physlclanls
who officially ccrtlne I to Mr. Segal's In

Sale To n Dealer.
Because he thought that a -TO-pound

him, Henrv Brown, the colored Janitor of
tho church. 13 held under ltt ball to await

lat, and upon being questioned th Jan
itor freely admitted that he was respon
sible for its disappearance.
Although the Rev. Albert Clay, rector of

Becker was on his way to the fire house
after breaUfasting at home when he saw

Devout Jews throughout the world a
preparing today for the Jewish N
Year, or the Feast of Rosh Hashan
which begins tomorrow at sundown n
ends on sundown Monday.
This year, In addition to offering pro
ers for the safety of loved ones here, u
fervaut prayer will be offered for the
safety of those who arc In war-rlddcn
Em ope.
Tlieie will bo happiness and sorrow In
the messages borne to every Jewish
household today on the New Year cards,
and the postman, especially In the
Ghetto, will be anxiously au alted.
It is possible, too, that the conflict
across the sea will figure largely in the
messages. On nccouut of the toll of
war there are many here waiting with
much foreboding for greetings which
may never come.
It will not be necessary for the letter
carrlei to ring the bell or knock at the
door of the homes In the CHietto. Tho
anxious ones there hae been waiting
too long for the eve of the New Year.
Those loved ones abioncl who do not
write nt nnv other time ncer forget to
send greetings today.
When the evening star makes Its ap
pearance in the heavens tomorrow, thus
marking the beginning of tho worship,
those who dlil not receive the customary
annual giceting will lift their ee. to
ward heaven and Invoke the divine Prov
idence to protect those who have sent
tluli last messoges.
Tho Postofllco force is working over
time so that tho mall may be distributed
oeforo the advent (according to tho Jew
ish calendar) of the year SG73.
Tomonow night at sundown, in accord
ance with an old Jewish custom, the be
loved Jcwi'sh grandfather or the oldest
'member of the family blesses the rest
of the familv before leaving for the syn
agogue. This custom Is observed in every
orthodox humo throughout the world. At
the snngogue all will kneel In prayer,
giving thanks for gifts of the la'st year
and usklng divine bi-sslng for the ensu
ing year.
The observance of the Jewish New Year
as a holy M-nson Is commanded In two
passages of the Five Hooks of Moses I.-i
neither passage Is there an specific com
mand as to how the day Is to be oVservcd
beyond the Injunctions to blow the trum
pet, to hold a holy convocation nnd to
engage in no servile occupation. The day
Is the first of tho seventh month or t'ie
ilnv of the new moon of that month.
The nciw moon was observed as holy I
season by the Jews of old; tho seventh
month was a particularly holy month, ns
the seventh day was the holy day of tho
week. The new moon of the seventh
month was therefore invested with t i
significance of far holler Import than the i
other new moon days of the year. The
Injunction to blow the trumpet on this
day was to call the people to remem
brance before the Lord. This ceremony
of blowing the "shofar" became the cen
tral figure nf the elaborate religious ser- '
vice conducted on the day.
It Is the prevailing Idea that on this
dnv God weighs men's actions In the
scales of Justice. New Ycar''s Day In
tho passing of the centuries has thus
come to embody the great religious Ideas
of divine Justice and human responsi
bility. DEMANDS LAND HIM IN JAIL
Insists on Gift of Money and is Sen- '
tenced Instead, ,
Persistent demands for money made by
Frank O'Ponnell. 5S Ostelia street, at
the office of Magistrate Pennock, 9 Kast
Chelten avenue, Qermantown. resulted
In his arrest. He was sentenced today
to 10 day- In the county prison by the
magistrate he had annoyed.
According to Constable Brady, who Is
attached to Magistrate Pennock's office,
O'Donnell could not bo pcrirunded to leave
the place and became so Insistent and
belligerent in his requests that he was
obliged to arrest him.
