BARATz KNOWS NOTHING
Nevertheless the Alleged
Moonshiner Is Held for
U. S. Trial.

motifs Baratz who was arrested on
July Is. charged with violating the internal
revenue laws in conducting an Illicit still
at Mo. 424 Tonnele avenue, was this morn
ing held to await the action of the United
states Grand Jury by United States Com
missioner Isaac Romaine Baratz was
caught in the house while the still was
running full blast by Inspector of Police
Samuel Archibold who conducted the
raid, assisted by Captain AcKaig of the
Third Precinct and Detectives Frank Ben
nett and Clay keenan,.
Baratz denied all knowledge of the dis
tillery in the cellar and said he did not
know who had the use of that portion of
the house, though he admitted living on
the first floor for about ten months.
Baratz gave his business as a fruit
dealer, and said he was employed to cart
coal for a man Of whom he knew moth
ing. He had been carting coal for ten
months, receiving fifty cents for his SER
vices when they were required. Bags of
coal such as Baratz carted were found in
the cellar handy to the furnaces, and
other bags were found in his wagon shed
and stable. The latter had been carted
the day of the raid. which was success
fully accomplished at ten o'clock at night.
When the raid was made it was found
that two families occupied the house.
Baratz and his wife and Joseph Diamond
and his family. The Diamond family con-
sisted of Mrs. Diamond and eight children
the oldest a girl of seventeen. The police
were met by this girl on the front stoop
when they arrived at the house. She vol
unteered the information that a Mr..
Baratz lived within.
This information gave Inspector Archi-
bold his first good grounds for suspecting
Baratz. The mention of the name brought
back to his mind the fact that Baratz had
called at Police Headquarters on the night
preceding his arrest, seeking information
of a horse and wagon which he had lost.
Baratz described the rig and gave his
address as New York. Inspector Archibold
taxed Baratz with lying and asked him to
explain why he gave the fictitious ad-
dress. This Baratz was unable TO do ana
was arrested. The house was searched
and one OF the most complete moonshin-
ers' plants discovered.

COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH
State Secretary Says Small
Pox May Break Out.

The County Board of Health and Vital
Statistics met yesterday afternoon. A
communication in regard to the existence
of small pox in the State was received
from Henry Mitchell, secretary of the
State Board of Health, in which the
writer says:-'sSmall pox has recently ap-
peared in widely separated districts. Fail
ure to recognize first cases led to the
escape of many infected persons and new
cases may be expected hereafter
The muddle over Patrick Kearney, who
died at the almshouse at the age of sixty
three years, although he had led the au-
thorities to believe he was eighty to
/ escape work, was straightened out by
referring the matter to Trenton.
H. F. R. Woohheser appealed to the
Board to abolish the nuisance caused by
defective plumbing at No. 369 Broadway,
Town of Union. He said he had called
the attention of the Board to this matter
before and he wanted to know what was
going to be done about it anyhow.
The regular report of Inspector Michael
Nevin was received and showed that the
inspector had abated several nuisances in
the uper part of the county. He said he
had received a complaint against julius
Levy, who allows the wagons in which
he gathers bones and fat to stand in West
Hoboken unprotected and menace to the
health of the community. He had notified
Mr.. Levy to abate the nuisance, but he
had not done so. Then the inspector re-
ferred the matter to John J. Mulvaney,
the counsel of the Board who said that
all the Board could do was to revoke Mr..
Levy's license and have him fined $100 If
he continued to do business without per-
NIT.
One Abram Bluem, of East New Dur
ham, the report continued, had emptied
the contents of vault on the side of a
hill about one hundred feet from his home
and refused to remove the contents when
directed to do SO by the Inspector He
was proceeded against and fined SIS and
costs.
The inspector also reported that he had
thoroughly fumigated No. 10 Randolph
avenue, where there was case of small
pox on June is. and NO 207 Arlington ave-
nue.. which was similarly infected May
". The contagious disease report for June
showed that in Jersey City there were Al
cases of diphtheria, 43 of scarlet fever
I of membraneous Group, 4 of typhoid, of
small pox, and 100 of measles In Hobo
hoken there were Is cases of diphthefia
I6 OF scarlet fever and 2 Of membraneous
Group.

THE SCHOOL REPAIRS.
Director Lewis Explains the
Seeming Muddle.

chairman Lewis of the Finance Com
mittee of the Board of Education, was
interviewed yesterday regarding various
rumors relative to the appropriation for
school repairs this vacation. There has
been some misunderstanding of the ques-
ton of a special appropriation for this
that the Board of Finance and Board of
Education were mixed UP in a contro-
versy over the question of funds.
mo. we have made no request of the
Board of FFinance for funds for repairs
this summer" said Director Lewis "a
wrong impression has been formed re-
garding the status of the school repair
question. We did not think it necessary
to burden the Finance Board with a
bunch claims for funds. We have a bal
ance of the $4,000 appropriated last year,
and we are now making repairs with this
Some of the schools viii need little or no
repairing My schools are being repaired
by the salaried carpenter and I will ask
for no extra funds. There are other
schols in the same condition. When we
feel that the extra appropriation is need
ed we will make the reqeust of the Board
of Finance.
We have plenty of time for this, and if
the request is made in the course of a
week or ten days there will be sufficient
time in which to complete all repairs.
have no doubt the Board of Finance will
give us the money we ask for But how
much We need is not known as yet.
II IS we'll known that the Board made
its request for the 1a00-1s0l appropriation
and asked for about $4,000 for school

Whereas, The counsel to this Board
advises that the report of the Army Board
in the opening, closing, ETC., of the
bridges over the Hackensack and Passaic
Rivers, if approved by the Secretary of
War. will entail great loss in this county,
and perhaps result in closing a great
number of county bridges; therefore

Resolved, That the counsel to this
Board send protest in writing against
the approval of said report; that the Di-
rector and Clerk execute a protest under
the seal of this county, to be prepared by
the counsel if he deems advisable
In explaining the reasons for the reso-
luton, Counsel Griffin said the Army
Boards report embraced a provision that
every draw should be at least 25 feet
above spring tide and that instead of pill
ing to support the bridges. abutments
must be built in the river The latter
provision was based on the argument that
piles obstructed the ice in going out with
the tide and this resulted in the shifting
of the ice to the channels, which soon be-
came clogged and closed navigation

Contrary to precedent, TO explanation
of she many and radical changes in the
figures for next year from those of the
current year accompanied the budget. In
explaining the reasons for reductions Di-
rector McNally said
'1The reduction in the item for court
expenses IS based on the belief of the
Board that the county courts can be run
for less than the amount appropriated
last year To this item is added the fees
and costs collected which last year
amounted to about $4,000. The Essex
county courts only cost sS6,0oo, and there
is no reason why ours cannot be run for
$4,000 more than that amount. The re-
duction in the appropriation for the
Court House and Jail was made because
many improvements that will not be need
ed next year were made during the pres
ent year. We reduced the item for the
maintenance of the Almshouse because of
the reduction in the number of inmates
there through the placing of dependent
children in outside homes. AS to the PEN
itentiary, we estimate that crushed stone
will be produced there with the improved
facilities next year. The money realized
from that source is added to this appro-
priation, and will, 1 think, be ample. So
with all the other items. Much has been
done during the last few years that will
not be necessary next year, and that fact
made the reductions possible.
