PROBING FOR EVIDENCE
Gledhill Committees Counsel at
the Freeholders Office
Today.

Lawyer Robert McCarter, counsel to the
Gledhill Investigating Committee, was at
the Office of the Board of Freeholders
today gathering material to submit to the
committee. With the assistance of Clerk
Woolley he was looking over the con-
tracts for supplies to the county insti-
tutions and enquiring into the method of
awarding them. Just what period he is
covering will not be known until the
matter is laid before the committee, but
it is not likely that any special effort
will be made to bring out anything that
might be damaging to Republican Free
holders. That is not the object of the
investigation.
Somebody will be called upon to explain
why contracts for supplies have been
awarded to persons not engaged in the
business, but who have to purchase the
goods from regular dealers. For instance
the Freeholders may be asked how it was
that builder was awarded contract Tor
supplying dry goods The middlemen
have nearly always been successful in
their competition with the regular dealers,
and it goes without saying that the mid
dlemen do not engage in the business for
their health.
The committee may have struck good
lead this time and may be able TO elicit
something and avoid the ridiculous f1asco
they have made in their investigation of
the Sheriff's and Prosecutors offices.

1t was his pround privilege to be hon

which few have attained. Endowed by
His Holiness Pope Leo XIII. with the
title of Monsignor, he wore the purple
most becomingly. and would undoubtedly
have been honored with greater prefer

ther distinguished by the Baltimore Coun-
ell by being selected to revise the

which fitted him for this work. was uni
versally recognized. The breadth of his
scholarship his vast oratorical powers.
his masterful grasp of social and econ

miration for the Institutions of his
adopted country, combined to render him
an ideal citizen. interested in all that
tended to the public good His fame is
indeed beyond denial, as QlSliHB ulSueu
cleric, Jealous pastor and a wise coun-
selor.
But to us his grief-stricken people, he
was more and beyond all this. His office
it was. at our birth or the birth Of our
children to receive into Gods fold the
guileless souls that sought the regenerat-
ing waters of baptism. Daily in the mass
he offered up the bloodless Sacrifice In
our behalf, and when by the exercise OF
his priestly functions our souls had been
shriven. it was from his hand that we
received the Bread that is Life Eyerlast-
ing.
In our joys he was a partaker, and in
our troubles he was ever willing to as
sumo share of the burden. There was
no sorrow of ours that did not command
his sympathy and relief, and when death
and sickness came to our loved ones, his
tender ministry brought balm to the af-
fiicted, hope and resignat ton. to the dy-.
ing and consolation to those bereft OF all
they held most dear; therefore, be it
Resolved, That in his death We have lost
q friend whose place in eur hearts can

President Myron J. Furst and Messrs.
H. v. Condict and Joseph A. Dear of the
Board of Trade called on Superintendent
Edward 7. Brooks of the Pennsylvania
Railroad yesterday afternoon to urge the
erection of better main entrance at the

that Jersey City ought to have a more
commodious and imposing entrance than
that which now disfigures the ferry. They
said that now was good time. since a
new building was to be erected for a nand-
somer building
Mr.. Brooks told the deputation that the
company were at work on the plans for

pany. he said, were alive to the interests
OF the city and would no doubt do some
thing to make the ferry entrance a hand

withdrew
I am very anxious to have change
al1e IN the structure true at the ferry said Mr..

that l have for some time, long before
been suggesting it. The plans for the
new structure are now being prepared
in Philadelphia, and of course L am offer
ing suggestions as to the requirements
of the building,
Mr.. Brooks plan for the new building
is to make it freproof and have a big
main entrance for the waiting room and
the ferry on the north side of Exchange
place, so as to avoid the tunnel under
the waiting room, which has always been
a difficulty in the way. Mr.. Brooks
plan is to have an open entrance, with
a staircase to the waiting room and the
whole making a handsome facade on Ex-
change place in keeping with the general
line of architecture of the Office build
ings. Mr.. Brooks is doing his utmost to
make the ferry buildings a credit to the
will succeed.
