In an article on the Wonders of
the Worlds Waste" William George
Jordan. in the October Ladies Home
journal, details how science at the
present day utilizes the OK. Not
many years ago, he says, when an
OK was slaughtered forty per cent of
the animal was wasted; at the pre-
sent time nothing is lost but its dying
breath. As but one third of the
weight of the animal consists of prod
ucts that can be eaten, the question
of utilizing the waste is serious one

and jewelry;the water in which bones
are boiled is reduced to glue; the

QUESTIONS
questions



City Collector Simeon H. Smith seems
TO appreciate hat the financial e%ntangle-
ments of the city are in a certain sense
'sup to him." He comes to the front
with an interview this morning, in which
he undertakes to explain why the col
lection of taxes in this city is SO badly
IN arrears. 1t is to be feared the ex-
PLANTATION does not explain.
Mr.. Smith confines himself to telling
why he has abandoned the work OF col
lecting the personal tax levy. which he
undertook this year for he first time.
He says some person or persons subject
to the levy have brought suits to test its
validity. and he does not think it fair
to go on collecting other peoples money
until these suits are decided.
So far as such suits are based on the
peculiar features of the individual cases,
they have no bearing on the obligations
of other taxpayers. So far as they affect
the validity of the levy in general. they
are nonsensical. In Newark, the personal
taxes are collected just like those on real
estate, and they ave been SO collected
for years. They were distasteful to those
who had to pay them there just as much
as they are here, and they were opposed
with every form of litigation. In the end,
they had to be paid, and now nobody has
a word to say about them. 1t need only
be added tha what is good law in New
ark is good law in Jersey City.
Mr.. Smith is confronted with n UNI
answerable fact. The tax collections at
large Of Jersey City are far behind those
OF any other city in this State. They are
preposterously, ludicrously behind those
of Hoboken, for instance. Can Mr.. Smith
tell why this is? Can he tell US any
reason why Hoboken should be able to
collect 81 per cent. of her taxes in the
first six months after the books are
while We can only collect from 70 to so
per cent.-as the Board of Finance al
leges-inslde the twelve months. If Mr..
..nith can give any good and sufficient
reason for this difference, The News
and the public will be glad to hear it.
If he cannot, the problem of the city's
finances is ''up to him. and stays up
to him until there is a satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION or a change of conditions. This
Is plain. blunt speaking, but is
the alternative?
The Board of Finance shows that we
rave added sl.24o,ooo of tax arrearage
bonds to the city debt in five years.

The Fire Board Sustains His
Charge Against Lineman
Thomas S. Jones.

The meeting OF the Fire Board last
evening was a long one, andNit was al
most midnight before adjournment.
When routine business had been disposed
of the trials We're taken up. The first
was that Of Thomas S. Jones. a linemon.
for disorderly conduct on April II last, in
the storage and battery room at Fire
Headquarters, on complaint of Superin-
tendent John speicher. Jones was rep
resented by Lawyer Thos f. Noonan. Mr..
Speicher testified thai on April IL he was
in the battery room with Jones, testing
wires, when he was suddenly called
downstairs toSsee a man named Solomon.
He had been down only a short while
when Jones followed, and asked him If
he knew that he had left circuit No. Z
open. He replied that he knew what he
did and what he did not do.
Mr.. Noonan asked Speicher if he did
not accuse Jones of trying to injure him
by telling Chief Denmead. and he said
he did. He was then asked if that is how
the trouble began. and said Yes
Speicher's brother Mallon said that the
superintendent asked Jones, why he had
to. him h the switch was open, and
lfidi v0lic III ACPiy Sdids MY piUtiSl diAu
l were both liars and perjurers, and
that he could prove it,
When Mr.. Noonan started to cross
question the witness. he answered a few
questions and then said that he would
not answer any more. Finally he said
he would continue If the questions were
not asked so fast. Mr.. Noonan then
asked about the argument Jones and he
had about meal hours, and Speicher said
that Jones was always in the habit of
that he asked hin if he would not re-
lieve him on time. Jones replied, Sup
pose you are not relieved OF time, what
of it? If you want to make a kick l
will not relieve you at all. And fur
thermore you should be wearing stripes"
Jones took the stand again and said
that since he had changed in politics,
Speicher and his brother were always
talking about him. Commissioner Cone
said he did not wish politics to be brought
into the trial. Jones said he was told
not to touch anything in the battery
room, and he knowing that the switch
should not be left open he notified the
Superintendent.
The commissioners then adjourned to
another room, and upon their return Mr..
Mills announced that they found Jones
guilty of using language thai he should
not have used, sentence would be sus-
pended, and Jones would be transferred
to another house.
Mr.. Noonan thanked the Board and
said that the decision was just, and that
ne thought that in the future Mr.. Jones
would do better.
Jones will more than likely be sent to
No. 2 truck, and his place as lineman will
be filled by James Humphreys of No. 1
engine. The Board adjourned until Aug
uSt 80.

RIGHTS OF ADOPTED CHILD.
Judge Fort Holds She Is Not Liable
for the Inheritance Tax.

Especial TO 1.-The Jersey City News."1
NEWARK, Aug. 4, 1S97.-Judge Fort of
the Court of Common Pleas has decided
that the State cannot collect from Miss
Elsie Peddie a collateral inheritance tax
amounting to So. SS3.7 Is. The decision is
the first judicial determination of the
question. The proceedings to collect the
tax were brought by Prosecutor Crane
on behalf of the State. Miss Peddie re-
ceived from her foster parents an es-
tate appraised at $721, IFS, on which the
State set about to collect a 5 per cent.
tax. 1t was shown by the evidence in
the case that Miss Peddie's name was
Minnie l.. Dean, and that the Peddies
adopted her at Hartford, Conn, observ-
ing all the requirements of the laws OF
that State.
Mr.. Crane, in the outset, commended that
the State was entitled to the tax on two
grounds. He said in the first place that
the child was never legally adopted, and
insisted that even though she had been
the tax must be paid any way, because
she was not one of the persons exempt
under the statute. Judge Fort holds that
the records and laws of Connecticut show
that Miss Peddie was legally adopted, and
then he goes on to say
The one question, therefore, whether
or not our statute, which chill
dren from this tax, cover the case of
children by adoption. The word children
in the statute is not qualified in any
way. The statute contains no word lin
ting it to children born in wedlock.
His conclusion is hat an adopted child
stands in the same situation as a child
by blood relationship. and is within the
exemption of the statute.

DOL. GRANTS FUTURE.


PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 4,
Fred. d. Grant, until a few days ago one
OF New York's Police Commissioners,
paid a flying visit to this city yesterday,
and for a few hours was closeted With
Ex-Governor Robert E. Pattison, J. Wes-
ley Supple and other men connected with
the Edgemont and Union Hill Smelling
Company, of which Ex-Governor Pattison
is the President. 1t is highly probable
that Colonel Grant will be actively assoc
ciated with them in their mining enter
Prise in the Black Hills, where they own
and control about 200 mines.
The Colonel was apparently in exceed
ingly good health. He talked very frank
~ concerning his recent resignation and
emphaticaly stated that when he sent his
famous letter to Mayor Strong it was
the final chapter of his career as Police
Commissioner. He had so worded II
that the Mayor could not ask for its
withdrawal, and made it plain that I'M
der no circumstances could he ever re-
enter the office and countenance that
system of police spying which, in his
opinion, is so demoralizing to the force.
When asked what brought him to Phila-
delphia, he replied
