can residents for their thrift and for
their desire to EDUCATE their children at
their own expense, and equip them with
a German as we'll as an English educa-
ton and preserve their mother tongue.
He alluded to the high standard of excel
lence for which the curriculum of the
the High SCHOOL, of the city accepted grad
yates from it without ven an examina-
tion, so thoroughly had the German
American school prepared its pupils. The
Mayor mentioned the financial depression
of the past few years as a cause OF the
falling off in the prosperity of the school
and complimented the merchants. manu-
facturers and Others who had contributed
so nobly toward raising a big fund with
even a higher plane of prosperity than it
ever before enjoyed.
He ccmplimented the matrons n young
women for their energy and skill in the
arrangement of the affair and prophesied
that the bazaar would be one of the
most successful ever held in that section.
The Mayor was greatly ~applauded.
The members of the Business Mems AS
ISOLATION made things lively from the
start. They marched to the hall in a body
headed by a cadet drum corps. Several
popularity contests were started, which
promise to be unusually exciting before
the close of the bazaar.

TO HOLD CONTRACTORS.
Steps TO BE Taken to Put a Stop to
Refusfng to Do City Work.

The Street and Water Commissioners
are going to put the screws on public
work contractors. Within the last few
months contractors have been refusing to
sign contracts which have been awarded
them. The reason is that after reviewing
prices showed a loss. The Board on two
occasions endeavored to enforce the con-
tractors bondsmen to do the work. All
such efforts were fruitless. In fact the
practices has been that the city has sus-
tanned heavy losses. Corporation Counsel
McDermott has now been asked for an
opinion as to whether the CITY can ac-
cept the bond of any surety company for
the faithful performance of work.
Last winter Clerk Bouton of the Street
ana Water Board tried to get such a bill
passed. It died in the Senate. The Com
missioners say that If they can, by law,
accept and require a surety company
bond there will be no more trouble with
contractors, as the city will have some
thing substantial to fall back upon. If
Mr.. MeDermott decides In the affirmative.
surety company bonds will be required
from every bidder in the future. Mr.. Nc
Dermott is going to test the present law
concerning the liability of hondsmen. In
the case of the construction of a sewer
in Baldwin avenue, the lowest bidder has
refused to sign his contract. The work
is to be awarded the next lowest bidder.
The difference is to be sought from the
bondsmen. If the court sustains the city
no loss will nave to be borne. If not the
difference will have to be made good by
the city.
When awards are made to a contractor
who refuses to do the work, and a second
award is made to a higher bidder the
for the amount of the first bid. 1t is to
prevent the city from sustaining losses in
his way that a test case is to be made.
Contractors are alarmed at the proposed

TRADING STAMPS LIVE
Merchants Protective Assoeia-
tion Withdraws Its Support
of Francis Bill.

The Merchants Protective Association
held a regular meeting at the Avenue
House last night, transacted considerable
routine business and discussed several
matters of Importance. DR.. w. i. Pyle
Of Bergen avenue was elected to member
ship.
There was much discussion over the
trading stamp question. The association
finally decided to drop it. The commit
tee appointed at the last meeting to urge
Governor Voorhees, to sign the bill wiping
the trading stamp concern out of exist
ence submitted it's report. A letter had
also been received from the Governor az
ter the committee visited him stating
that he would give the matter his care
full consideration. 1t was manifest,
however, that the Governor considered
the bill unconstitutional and that it was
too sweeping.
A numbe of members, among them
several tea merchants, give away cups
and saucers with packages of tea, and
men in other lines of business offered ex-
ira inducements to customers. These men
confessed that the purchasers in the end
was obliged to pay for these extra in
ducements. In the majority OF instances
they admitted the fraud was as great as
the trading stamp scheme. They said
they would like to see an end put to sucn
schemes. But there was an evident dis
position to believe with Governor vooT-
hees that the bill was too sweeping IN It's
scope, and really unconstitutional.
Some of the members argued that the
association had done all In It's power 10
wipe out what it considered was. a
genuine fraud, and it had therefore done
It's duty. They hoped hat another Dill
would be drafted and submitted to the
Legislature next winter which would
strike at the trading stamp concern with
constitutional. There were q lumber or
members, however, who were not willing
to let Senator William d. Daily down SO
easily for his opposition to the bill, and
there were several SlapS at the senator
during the discussion. 1t has been claimed
all along by some of the merchants that
the Senator acted upon the bin as a mem
Der of the Senate Judiciary committee
when he was the retained attorney for
the trading stamp concern. Mr.. Bern,
stein defended Senator DAILY. He said
he had talked with the Senator and that
the Senator denied he was the retained at
tarney of tsle trading stamp concern, and
he (Mr. Bernstein) did not believe the
Senator was. 4-s4
Mr.. James e. Banks expressed the opin-
ion tina the members should give more
attention to the associations black list,
as he considered it the most important
factor in the successful work Of the assoc
citation. The meeting decided to go into
scale, and ordered a warrant drawn for
a check of $175 for the purchase OF tWen-
ty-five shares in the Lincoln Building and
Loan Association.

left thar church yesterday morning 70
take charge of ST. Augustine's parish In
Newark. During Father Hater's stay at
st. Paul's Church he became very popular
throughout the parish and especially so
with the Germans, as he was of Gerrnan'
parents. He labored faithfully at st.
Paul's and has proved a valuable assist
ant to Father Mcdowell.
Bishop Wigger has ordered Father
latter to take charge of the Newark
church and his labors in the new field will
begin today Father Huelsebusch, who
has been in charge of the parish to which
Father Halter was sent. is going to take
a. trip to Germany for his health and dur
ing his absence. which will be about three
months, the work will fall to Father
later
The parish contains about 1000 souls.
The reason. 1t is thought. that. Father
Halter was sent away from st. paul's is
that the church cannot stand the strain
Of supporting three priests. There is an
enormous debt Of something Like .$85,000
hanging over the church and 1t will take
years of the hardest kim of work to wipe
