NEW REVOLVER FOR TIE POLICE
Commission ers Will Make a Change
i'm The Weapons Used.

AT the meeting of Police Board yester-
day afternoon President Abernethy took
occasion to refute a statement which was
published in a local paper recently to the
effect that Newark's Police Department
is operated more economically thar he
one under his charge.
In Newark the cost of maintaining the
police alone, he said, exceeds the cost of
the local department $50. 4S7. In Newark
the pay of Police Justices and clerks is
not included in the cost of maintaining
the Police Department. while in this city
1t is. Newark's plant, therefore, Presi-
dent Abernethy said, costs more than
$4,000 a year more than the local depart
ment, and is no more SO, in fact, is as
efficient.
The Medical Board of the department
reported that an examination had been
made In the case of Sergeant Robert Jel-
". He was reported as permanently dis
abled. The Sergeant's mind recently
showed symptoms of weakening and he
was removed to a private retreat. He is
recovering slowly and will probably re-
turn to the city in. a few months. He
Is to be allowed half pay.
Upon motion of Commissioner West,
Chief Murphy was directed to make an
inspection of the revolvers carried by
men of the department. The Commits
sloner wants weapon of a uniform kind
carried. He explained that all kinds Of
weapons arc being carried by the men.
Some are as old as hills and will not
explode. Others are ornamental and were
never intended for use. Weapons that will
be serviceable are to be furnished the
coppers.
Five bids were received by the Board
for the wiring of fire station houses, so
that they may be lit by electricity. They
were referred to the Committee of the
Whole. A contract will be awarded at
the next meeting.

For the last week or two people have
been frequently "held up" assaulted and
occupants of houses in localities where
the gangs held forth annoyed. Chief Muir
ply decided to break UP he gangs and
get some of the offenders, out of the way.
The raid was consequently planned.
Captains Cox and McNulty were in
command. They had with them men
well armed. All carried night sticks.
The haunts of the gang were visited in
turn, and in each case arrests were made.
The toughs did not surrender p~eaceably,

Convicted Him.

The jury in the case of James Solomon,
the policy king, convicted him after rear
ly four hours elaboration. About $3.50
stable Jerolemon, who was on guard at
the door of the jury room, that it was IN
possible for the jury to agree. The Com
stable communicated the information to
Sergeant-at-Arms Wise and he In turn
conveyed it to Judge Hudspeth. The
Judge dryly remarked that he was aware
of the fact that the jury had not agreed.
because If they had they would have
come into court. He told Mr.. Wise to tell
them hat they had better try again.
Half an hour afterward they came into
court with a verdict of guilty. The YER
dict was something of a surprise. as the
general impression was that the jury
would disagree.
Judge Hudspeth sent for County Clerk
Fisher and directed him to have the
policy par~aphcrnalia which was captured
in the raid sealed up so that none of it
would be missing If the case should be
taken up on appeal.
Lawyer Norman l.. Rowe said this
morning that the case will be appealed
as soon as his client is sentenced. There
Is a general belief that Judge Hudspeth
will impose the full penalty of the law,
which is Imprisonment in State Prison
for two years and 5000 fine. Solomon
fingered in the vicinity of the Court
House yesterday afternoon until the ver-
dict was rendered. If he was surprised
he gave no outward manifestation of it.
An interesting bit of testimony showing
what Solomon expected from the Re
publican reform administration which he
and his money had helped to put in
power. was given by ex-Under Sheriff
John j. Erwin. Solomon, as Burns testi-
fed. had told several of his employees that
he was tired of being pounded and he pro-
posed to go to the Young Mems Republic
can Club and find out why 1t was being
lone. He was paying his good money for
protection and wasn't getting it. He said
he had a good man to introduce him to
Johnnie Erwin. Solomon did go to the
clubhouse and was introduced to Erwin.
How is it, he asked Mr.. Erwin, as
pounded this way?'s
What way?" asked Mr.. Erwin.
why, all the policy men are being
pounded, and I understand you are the
man who is doing it." said Solomon.

I'm doing it. If that is what you call
pounding then I'm pounding you."
well, I don't think it's right ex-
claimed Solomon. Here We are with the
Republicans in power and we helped to
put them in, We are paying good money
for protection and I think we ought to

Assistant Prosecutor Noonan referred
to this in his summing UP and said

Fenass Competition in tho Industries


Mr.. Carroll D.. Wright. Commissioner
of Labor, has transmitted to Congress a
report on female employment in the in
dustries, which is full of curious and in
conclusive facts. The main reason for
h unsatisfactory character of his sta
tistics is their necessarily limited scope.
Even the compilations of a Federal CEN
sus are felt to be so incomplete as to be
unsafe as bases for generalization. How
much more must this be true when the
figures are drawn from selected cases,
numerically a mere fraction of those
which the country presents.
There is only one unmistakable deduc-
ton that can be drawn, and this is that
female labor is accepted by employers
only on account of its ~cheapness. This
is the curse of female competition with
the breadwinning sex. The woman works
cheaper because she seldom has depend
ents. because she is content to live on a
cheaper scale than men, because she sell
dom thinks of the future, relying on a
marriage some day, and because she has
not the courage or energy to resist op-
preston that men are endowed with.
The women are content to take work
at prices with which men cannot COM
pete, and still do their duty to the COM
munity by becoming heads of families.
The effects of women's industrial prog
ress'' is displayed all over the civilized
world in the falling off of marriages.
Thus women, in the mad endeavor to put
themselves on an equality with men. are
bringing the most disastrous conse-
auences upon themselves. They are UNI
dermining the social system and really
turning the world back towards condi-
tons of Mobilization if not absolute
chaos.
