GOod-Sized Audience, Which APP
plauded the Different S~pecialties.

There was a new departure in the way Of
entertainment at the Y. NJ. G. A. building

free and a good-sized audience witnessed
the different specialties. One of the best
features of the entertainment was a farce
entitled "Dusky Queen in which Ned
Powell and Sam McGaughey, Butler Col
lege students, took part. The farce was
written by Miss Augusta Stevenson, of
I%rvington. Powell took the part Of Clorinda
Oglesby. "who plays the church organ,
and McGaughey was George Washington

Among the others on the bill were the
Henley Sister, professional performers Of
this city. who appeared in cake walks and
fancy dancing. Russell Powell san a coon

A SUIT WILL BE BROUGHT
BY MEMBERS OF THE POLICE FORCE
WHO WE'RE DISMISSED.
Duncan, Smith & H~ornbrook VIII
Have Charge of the Case-A
Brief Council Session.

There will be a suit filed against the city
In a few days as a result of the recent ac-
ton of the Board OF Public Safety in dis
missing the large number of patrolmen
and hremen from the respective forces.
This suit will be brought by a number of
the discharged patrolmen through their
attorneys, Duncan, Smith & Hornbrook.
Several conferences have been held lately.
and yesterday 1t was decided to bring the
suit.
Attorney Duncan was seen last night re-
garding the matter, and he said: I'VE
have decided to bring a suit against the
city as a result OF the action Of the Board
OF Safety in the wholesale discharge of
competent men from the police and fire
forces. This suit will not be filed for a few
days, but it will either be brought I'm the
Circuit or one of the Superior Courts of
this county. The complaint will allege that
the Board of Safety had no right TO dis
charge the men without giving them a
hearing.
will it be charged that the city charter
was violated by the Board of Safety?" was
asked.
THAT will not be alleged in the COM
pidlnI, out Wnen tne case comes 10 tTldl
we will then show that the charter was
violated"
"Who are interested in this suit?"
"a large Number Of ex-policemen are
back OF it, The firemen who were dis
missed have taken no part in the matter
so far, but they have become interested"
It is believed that this suit will throw
more light on the inside business of Gro
ker" Roth and his recent guillotining than
anything that has been said or done here
tofore. Many of the ex-policemen and ex-
firemen who were dismissed with the large
crowd were never even reprimanded by
their superiors, and some interesting things
will be brought out. Those who are back
of the suit are men who have borne excel
lent regulations, and who will tell of some
things, they say, when they are placed on
the witness stand. The campaign assess
ments, alleged favors shown saloonists sell
ing syndicate beer, and other '~peculiari-
ties" will be aired.

NOT A PART OF TRUST
THE UNITED STATES ENCAUSTIC
TILE WORKS WILL STAY OUT.
John j. Cooper Opposed to Trusts
Prospectus, weve In
cludes the Local Concern.

The United States encaustic tile works,
of this city, will not be a member Of the
gigantic tile trust which is being formed
by Thomas ]. Lovett, of Chicago. lnforma-
ton comes from New York to the effect
that the new combination will be fully as
large as that which was attempted some
months ago. AT that time there was a
company under formation called the Amer
lean Art Tile Company, which was to be
capitalized at $1,000. 900. A short time 6 1t
was announced in New York that the
scheme had fallen through.
According to information from the East
it has been decided to take the matter up
again and a prospectus has been issued
which gives the names Of those concerns
which II Is intended will become members
of the projected consolidation.
The following list is given: American
Encaustic Thing Company, United States
encaustic tile works. the Mosaic Tile
Company. Trent Tile Company, Robertson
Art Tile Company, Providential Tile Com
apny, Old Bridge Enamel Brick and Tile
Company. Cambridge Tile Manufacturing
Company, Star Encaustic Tile Company,
Beaver Falls Art Tile Company, New
York Vitri1ed Tile Company, haywood Art
Tile Company, Tarrytown lhe company,
Penn Tile Company, and Art Marble Com
pany.
The prospectus states that options have
been secured on all the concerns doing
business, and 1t is the intention to con-
solidate these companies under one COM
pany. to be Incorporated under the laws
Of New Jersey. The prospectus estimates
that under the present prices the net earn
ing of the company would be $4,000 annu-
ally, and the savings as q result OF the
combination would be 10000.
John j. Cooper, president of the United
States encaustic tile works. denied en-
phatically last night nat his company
was to become a part of the trust. He said
that In the first place he was opposed to
trusts of any character, and In the second
place he believed the works here could
realize better profits and yield more sat
isfactory results generally by staying out
of the trust. He said mis- company would
entertain no proposition OF this kind.
