PROTECT OUR FOOD

rha doctors inform us that alum is a
poison. and that alum baking powders
should be avoided because they make the
food unwholesome Prominent hygienists,
who have given the matter most study
regard these powders as an evil tnat
should be suppressed by State action. In
Minnesota and wisconsin alum powders
are not permitted to be sold unless they
are branded to warn consumers OF their
true character, while in the District OF
Columbia the authorities have, under the
direction of Congress, adopted regulations
to prohibit the use of alum in bread alto
gether
Are not the people Of other States, as
well as those of Minnesota and Wisconsin,
entitled to warning of danger which is
apparently menacing them at close hand,
and is not the whole country entitled to
absolute protection, as the people Of the
District of Columbia are protected, by
legislation which is entirely prohibitive?
Until we can have protection in the
form Of statute, how can our state
boards of health, state analysts or food
commissions better serve the public than
by publishing in the newspapers from
time to time the names OF the baking
powders which they find to be made from
alum?
designating the alum powder to remem-
Der that all powders sold at twenty-five
cents or less per pound are Of this danger

are usually sold at from forty-five to.

REORGANIZATION
County Com
mittee's Committee
Meets Tonight.

The last of the series of secret confer
ences which have been held weekly for
a month past by the Organization Com
mittee of the Republican County Com
mittee will probably be held this even
ing. According to the leaders, the re-
suit of the labors of the committee will
be made known at the conclusion of to-
nights performance.
Bundles of letters, choice ones OF every
description, have been received and care
fully perused by the gentlemen in charge
of that delicate task. These have been
tabulated according to precincts, wards
and townships and report of the con-
census of opinion will doubtless be
made public this evening. AT least, the
leaders say that the labors of the COM
mittee will be made known.
A full attendance is looked for. In ad-
dition to the report of the concensus OF
opinion, it is possible that plan OF ac-
ton regarding future campaigns and work
in the County Committee will be formu-
lated. This action has been heartily en-
dorsed by several members of the COM
mittee. .,,o,

of the committee, tthat some or these
communications ever reached u.s. Ihey
were actually burning with suggestions

WANT NEW ENGINE HOUSE
Twelfth Ward Improvement As
sociation Has a Meeting.

The Twelfth Ward Improvement Asso-
citation held meeting last night and dis
cussed several proposed improvements.
Secretary Burgaseh reported that nego-
tiations were pending for the Boulevard
and Lincoln street site for the new fire
house. He said that President Erickson
assured him that as soon as the plot OF
ground was purchased the erection OF the
building would begin. Considerable dis
cussion was had over the proposition to
improve Lincoln street from the Bouie-
ward to Germania avenue
Albert Shepler announced that he had
discovered certain property owners cir
culating a petition against the improve
ment. He said that Lewis Kristen, who
was circulating the petition was telling
property owners that the improvement
would cost at the rate of s135 lot in
order to fright them off from petition
ing for the s3rovement. Mr.. Shelter
said that uI.z1.ss the street was regrad-
ed the new fire company at BouieVard
and Lincoln street would be OF little
the western slope of the Hill. He thought
the association should stand by those
who wanted the Improvement.
Secretary Bugasch was instructed 70
write to the Street and Water Board ana
urge them to consider the petition fay,
orably There was some discussion and
complaint over the recent removal OF GER
tain police signal boxes to other locations.
Especial complaint was made concerning
the removal of the one opposite NO. 20
Zabriskie street The secretary was in,
structed to write to the Police Board and
ask that they be replaced; also the one
on Bleecker street, near Columbia avenue.

drew out small discussion about the
printing aud circulation OF the same be-
fore action was taken on it. Messrs. Au-
gustus Rich, w. J. O'Brien and E. A. ;.
Lewis each took part offering amend
ments and amendments to amendments,
resulting in the passage of a motion that
as much only of the report as contained
the financial statement should be adopt
ed and the balance of the report should
be circulated among the members.
Ex-senator Rudolph Rabe then
presented letter from the Ho-
boken Bank for Savings, which
said that the $1,000 depositors in
that institution were opposed to consoli--
dation and requested the Hoboken men-
bers, Messrs. Rabe and Aaron s. Bald
win to oppose. Mr. Rahe presented also
a similar remonstrance from the Hoboken
Tax Commissioners. Both were received
and fled
Mr. W. D. Edwards moved that the var
ious municipal authorities in the county
be requested to furnish the Commission
with their financial report Up to the close
of the fiscal year. That was carried, and
Mr. Edwards added it would be advisable
for the Secretary to write to cities in the
United States where consolidation mad
been discussed and adopted for data Tor

On the motion of Mr.. Ed. S. Lewis OF
Hoboken the Commission adjourned un-
til next Tuesday afternoon, wnen the
meeting will take place in the Mayor

COMPLAINT AGAINST DOGS
Mayor Asked to Afford Protection to
Citizens ON the Streets.

An Individual singing himself "Bull
Dog" sent a letter to the Mayor today.
asking iif there was no law to prevent a
person from being attacked on a public
street by a vicious dog, simply because
the owner pays dog tax? Can they"
he continued "allow vicious dog to run
unmuzzled and attack persons on the
street and then defy them to kill the dog
because it is licensed? 1t appears they
can, or do at least. A lady was recently
attacked by vicious bull dog. He caught
hold of dress, then through dress and
skirt by the .eg. He would not let go un-
til called off The lady fell in a fainting
condition on the street in front of her
house. The owner walked away and left
her. complaint was made at the police
station The police said they would at
tend to the dog, but they did nothing.
Then complaint was made at Judge Potts
office. He said he could issue no warrant
unless the bite of the dog could be
shown AS the dog didn't draw blood
through the thick clothing, nothing more
was done. The Court said that if any
dog attacked them on a street, tag or no
tag, they would defend themselves with
anything at hand; but if they shot the
dog on the street they might be fined for
carrying a weapon unless they had per-
NIT from the Chief of Police.
Nov, then, must person be first Bit
ten by dog and run the risk of going
mad before he can get 1t killed! II this,
is SO. it is high time this dog law was
changed so that people can travel pub
lie street in safety. There have been sew
eral persons bitten by dogs within the
last month and some of them defy you
to do anything to them. The owners of
the vicious dogs should be liable to. arrest
and fined, or else a person should get a
lacks them on a street, tag or no tag.
Not one half of the dogs in Jersey City
are licensed, and yet if one attacks you
and you kill it in self defense you are lia-
BILE to arrest.
s'Do you not think that 1t is time this
dog law was changed so as to afford
citizens some protection against these vic
fous brutes who prowl around the public
streets 6 7''

Work On Ninth Street
Today.
WOMAN HAD LEFT HIM
Husband Followed Her to
Sisters Home and Coolly
Murders Her.
WOMAN HAD LEFT HIM.

The neighborhood of Ninth and Hender-
son streets was shocked this afternoon by
the murder of a woman by her husband
and the suicide of the murderer.
five years old, of sullen and quarrel-
some disposition. He lived with his young
wife. Sarrita, twenty-eight years old, on
Railroad avenue until few weeks
ago, when his quarrelsome disposition
became unbearable to his wife and
she left him She went to live with her
husbands sister, Sosani Mocolate, who
occupied apartments in the big house at
Henderson and Ninth streets. Mocolate
endeavored, several times, to induce his
wife to return to him, but every time
she refused. He then got into the habit
of frequenting the neighborhood OF Ninth
and Henderson streets and waylaying his
wife when she appeared on the street.
He was in the neighborhood this after
noon when, at 2.15 o'clock, his wife ap-
peared on Ninth street, coming from the
house in which she lived with her sister
in-law. AS son as Mocolate saw her he
ran UP to her and spoke to her. What
he said no one knows, as the only one
who heard him now lies dead at the
morgue. The woman was seen to shake
her head. whereupon her husband drew
a 38.calibre revolver and, placing it close
to her head, fired. The woman uttered
Shrek and started to run.
She staggered forward a few feet and
fell in front of the office of Lembeck &
Betz's Brewery Mocolate stepped up to
her and, placing the revolver close to her
head again fired two more shots. Each
shot was followed by a convulsive move
ment of the body and then the woman
lay motionless.
Seeing that his wife did not move and,
thinking she was dead, Mocolate placed
the revolver at his own head, and pulled
the trigger He fell beside his wife ana
did not move.
All this took place quicker than 1t takes
to tell it, but not too quick for large
crowd to gather around and gaze awe
stricken at the bleeding, motionless bodles
living on the sidewalk The police were
notified and quickly responded with the
patrol wagon, in which the bodies We're
conveyed to the Seventh street station.
There they were examined by Dr. Hoff-
man, who pronounced both dead. Ihey
were then taken to the morgue.

FRANKNESS
Mr.. Birch Says He Should
Have Had the Boulevard
Commissionership.

Mr.. Edwin Birch, who recently resigned
from the Seventh Ward Republican Club,
was seen last evening by a News re-
porter. He was asked if the statement
were drawn up ready for signing, but an
of the clup that Birch resigned to avoid
donating lot to the club on which to
erect a new clubhouse.
Mr. Birch said that while he would not
now donate the lot, the promise was made
in good faith. He said that the deeds
were drawn up read for signing, but an
event occurred which caused him to
change his mind. Mr.. Birch would not
mention names, but said that a member
of the Seventh Ward Republican Club car
ried stories to a member of his family
concerning his association with Henry c.
Petty. Mr. Birch said that when mem-
Der of any political body interfered with
his personal affairs it was time for him
to resign.
1t is evident that Mr.. Petty has ene-
mics in the Seventh Ward Republican
Club. He has not as yet resigned from
the club, but he will do so shortly.
A member of the club said a few nights
ago that he would suggest holding jol-
lification supper when Mr.. Petty's re-
signation was received and accepted.
Petty said that he is disgusted with the
entire party. and he intends quitting the
Republican party for ever.
Mr. Birch said that he had been i'll used
by the party and he will in the future
keep out of politics He said that he had
been a Republican for eighteen years,
and in that time had spent considerable
money in the party's interests. Continu-
ing, Mr.. Birch said that the only favor
he had ever requested of the party was
the pomina ton for Boulevard Cimmis-
sioner, which was given Robert D. Ur-
quhart Mr. Birch said that he was
justly entitled to the nomination, having
done more for the party than eftheE
