THE FIREMENS' MONEY.

Amicable Adjustment of Differences
Misapplication Through Mistake
The trouble which arose in the New
Jersey State Firemen's Association be-
cause Of the preferment Of charges OF
misappropriating funds against the
branch IN this city, was amicably adj
justed last Saturday afternoon.
Assistant Chief Denmead caused the
charges to be made in the first place and
now he is the medium of the adjustment.
When the charges were first preferred
against the local organization, the result
was the resignation Of nearly all the
members
The case was aired in the Court of
Chancery and subsequently, new organ
izatlon was formed, the old officers secur-
ing reelection to the Offices they had re-
signed.
The officers of the State Court finally
referred the.whole matter to grievance
committee,
This committee, of which d. S. Stet-
son, OF Merchantyllle, ls Chairman, has
held several meetings. and all sides of
The questions involved heard.
The Jersey City men pleaded ignorance
OF the law governing the distribution of
the Associations funds and this is the
bridge which will carry them safely over.
Assistant Chief Denmead, Captain Brack-
ner OF No. Engine and Charlie Ester
brook were before the Grievance Commit
tee in Newark on Saturday. The hearing
was held in the house of No. Engine Of
Newark. When Captain Brackner was
shown the rules of the Association di
rectlng that no money should be paid
except by the trustees of the Association,
he was dumbfounded, as In almost every
case representatives of the local body had
handled the funds as they desired
Assistant Chief Denmead believes that
the committee will report the misappro-
priations to the State Association as be-
ing due eatirely to Ignorance of the la "
and not to any intent to defraud. The
decision OF the State Association will be
rendered in q week OF So
Some of the instances cited before the
Grievance Committee where money had
been m1sappropriated, were these:-
John Guiton, deceased, was paid S93
benefits. He was sick three days; and IA
hreman's wife committed suicide, and he
was paid 500; also the expenditure of
$40 by three delegates to Atlantic City
for one days expenses. In this manner
the associations fluids were eaten up.
Since the charges were made, no money
has been paid out except TO widows,
