GRAND ARMY AROUSED
The Veterans Issue a Circular
in Reference to the Charges
Against the Kearny
Home.

The G.. A. r. men in New Jersey are
thoroughly aroused over the treatment
which has been and is being accorded the
veterans in the New Jersey State Home
for Union Veterans at Kearny. They
openly charge favoritism and cruelty on
the part of the officials, who are respon-
sible for the management of the home
and allege that several veterans have met
untimely deaths because of the way they
AVE been treated. The G. A. r. as a
body has taken the matter up in earnest
and will do all in its power, politically
and by moral s~uasion, to correct the
alleged buses and protect the unfortu-
nate veterans who are forced to seek adj
m%ittanee to the Institution. Thu first act
of Samuel G.. Hayter, the newly elected
Department Commander, who was chosen
on Friday last to succeed Emanuel Sands,
who was killed by falling from a trolley
car, has been to issue the following cir
cular on the subject of abuses in the
Soldiers Home, which has been sent to-
day to every veteran in the State:-

1t is hoped and expected that the com
rades of this department will exert every
effort to aid in electingi a Legislature
which will carry into effect the petition
of the encampment and bring about a
change in the Home" when our COM
rades will not be excluded or expelled for
trivial reasons; sometimes thrown out on
the street to die as a dog would die.
Every effort was made tin obedience to
the Department Encampment) by these
headquarters to secure the reinstatement
of Comrade Leroy Hurd, but no impress
sion was made, and, today, Conrad Hurd
is in a home in the green fields, where ne
can rest undisturbed and not distress

the undertakers sent by the Chinese Ben

A FIBNDIsH WIFE.
Persuaded Her Young Daughter to
lake a Horrible Charge.

A sad condition of affairs was developer
at the trial in the General Sessions Court
yesterday of William Main, of Secaucus,
on an indictment for ~assaulting his thir-
teen-year-old daughter Annie. When the
child took the witness stand it was with
considerable difficulty that she was per-
suaded to tell her story. Then she testi-
fed thai her father was entirely innocent
of the charge she had made against him,
and that she was persuaded by her moth
er to make the charge.
The mother was called and admitted
that she was in the habit of drinking to
excess, and that she was under the in
fuence of liquor when she persuaded her
daughter TO go before the Grand Jury
and tell the, awful story she did tell. She
was angry with her husband, because
he had caused her arrest for being drunk.
The result of it was that the family was
entirely broken up. The father and moth
er were put in the County Jail, and their
three children are now in the Almshouse.
Mrs. Main said she had been locked up
in New York several times on account of
her drinking habits.
Judge Hudspeth directed the jury to ac-
quit Main.

The committee in charge of the pro-

specifications for competitive design, and

DR.. Leonard J. Gordon and those asso-

taken infinite pains with the specifica-

of which is that the designs are to be
submitted to a jury of sculptors of ma

best design but for the second and third

TWO MARROW ESCAPES.
Rabecca H~ensche,s Burglar Gets Out


Robert Ward was tried in the General
Sessions Court yesterday afternoon for
having burglars tools in their possession.
Ward was tried in April last for entering
Rebecca Henshe's apartments in Coles
street, with intent to steal. Miss Henshe
testified at the trial in April that she saw
Ward at her dressing case in he front
room. He saw her at the same time and
walked out into the hallway.
The young woman intercepted him and
asked him what he wanted. He said he
was an insurance agent, but when Miss
Henshe invited him to come in he has
tened down stairs. The young woman fol-
lowed him for several blocks until they
met a policeman and Ward was arrested.
The jury acquitted him, but the Prosecu-
tor had him held for having burglars
tools in his possession. One of the tools
is made from the rib of an umbrella, and
is said by the police to be so ingeniously
constructed that it will open almost any
ordinary lock.
Lawyer Alexander Simpson defended
Ward on both occasions. Ward testified
that the tool was scratch awl, which he
used in his business as a carpenter. James
Rafter testified that the tool was not
such a scratch awl as is used by car
but admitted on cross-examina-
ton that it might be used for that pur-
pose. Ward was acquitted.
