FOR PAUPER CHILDREN.
State Guardians Ask Free
holders for More Than Has
Been Appropriated.

President Hugh Fox of Bayonne and
Anthony T. Williams of Trenton, repre-
senting the State Board of Children
Guardians, had an extended conference
with the Freeholders yesterday afternoon
in relation to the appropriation for the
maintenance of INDECENT children under
their care.
They stated that they had placed in
paid homes 127 of the county's youthful
dependents, while 81 had been placed in
free homes. The Representatives of the
Guardians thought that an average of IS
a month would be required to pay for
the board and clothing of the children.
The F'reeholders pointed out that the
appropriation for the purpose had been
fixed at $4,000 for the current year and
if that amount was exceeded it would
seriously embarrass the county govern
ing body, as no fund was available with
which to pay any excess.
The Guardians promised to do their
utmost to comply with the wishes of the
Freeholders but thought it would be an
exceedingly difficult matter for them to
get along on much less than the amount
asked.

LANDS AT LAST
Captain Jack Graham Is
Appointed a Prosecu-
tors Detective at
81 Per Diem.

AT last Captain Jack" Graham has
been rewarded for his long service to the
Beef Trust organization. This morning
the announcement that the irrepressibie
and pubnacious Jack had been named
as detective in the Prosecutors Office.
was ma0e by Prosecutor Edwin. The ap-
pointment was promptly confirmed by
Judge Blair who issued the necessary
certificate, and Captain Jack" is now
full fiedged Hawkshaw drawing S4 day
from the county treasury for his services.
The appointment was made under the
act passed last winter empowering the
Prosecutor to increase his force to four.
Graham had the backing of the Beef
Trust machine with which Prosecutor
Erwin has hitherto not been on friendly
terms. but the fact that the present
State representative is a candidate for re-
appointment possibly may have had some
weight in the selection of SO strong
machine henchman as Graham has been
in the past.
1t has been known for some time that
Graham would secure one of the fat
berths in the Prosecutors office created
by the last Legislature. He has been do
ing special work for the office for some
~O---0
of the more or less sensational raids
made by the States representatives. de-
tectives in different sections of the coui-
ty The other vacancy on the Prosect-
tors staff created by the act under
which Graham was appointed has not
been filed, and probably will not be until
the public RECEIVERS from the shock of the
one appointment
Captain Jack Graham is a resident OF
the Ninth Ward and a member of the
Republican County Committee. Only once
has he run for office and then he was de-
feated as a candidate for Freeholder in
the Republican stronghold of the Bergen
section by Francis Scott. Prior to that
Captain Jack had been connected with,
several legislative investigating commit
tees. including the Senate committee
which inquired into the ballot box frauds
in this county in 1890. He was also active
in connection with the sensational raids
made by the Prosecutors office at the
Gutenberg track some years ago.
For the services which he rendered the
ballot box investigating committee, Cen
eral E. Burd Grubb, whom Leon Albeit
defeated for Governor and who furnished
the funds for the investigation. gave Gra-
ham a minor position in the United States
Embassy at Madrid when the General was
Minister to Spain.
Even General Grubb's friendship could
not secure political recognition for Cap
tain Jack" for the present is the first
permanent political appointment he has
been able to secure, although candidate
for many offices.

He thought the expense unwarrant-
ed under the circumstances and predicted
the cost of the improvement would be
largely augmented by the damages re-
covered by property owners affected.
Tt will not be- replied Counselor Grlf-
fin, .for unless all give their consent the
viaduct will not be built. We have no
money to pay for damages"
Mr.. Koven continued that if the VIA
duct was built it would establish a grade.
and hereafter If any connection is to be
made for other streets similar viaducts
would have to be built over the tracks,
while, if the idea was abandoned, the
railroad company would in time be COM
PEELED to elevate its tracks, as it had done
across the road on which the trolley cars
ran to the Pavonia ferry. He said that
the present grade crossing of The West
Shore road was not a menace, and the
construction of the viaduct would be OF
no benefit to people obliged to use the
Mountain Road or the Ravine Road, both
of which are crossed at grade by the
same railroad. He thought the expendi-
ture for the viaduct at the present time
was III advised.
Mr.. Koven said 1t would be of no ad-
vantage to him, as his trucks would be
Obliged to travel up hill to reach it. He
was particularly anxious to know If the
proposed widening. paving and tagging
of the road would be retarded through
the consideration of the viaduct matter
On being assured that the work would
proceed regardless of that Mr.. Koven
appeared satisfied.
MIR. Van ARK especially commended the
pan for a sidewalk on the road.

23S John street. Harrison, is at ST.
Michaers Hospital with a broken neck,
sustained yesterday afternoon. His right
arm is also fractured and he is otherwise
injured. There is no hope OF his recovery.
Strange to say in view of the nature of
his injuries, he recognized the members
of his family who called at the hospital
last night and conversed with them. He
did not think he was badly hurt.
A curious incidence in the case is the
fact that Delaney's father lost his life
several years ago in exactly the same
manner as the son was injured The
surgeons at the hospital expressed sur
prise today at the vitality shown by De-
larey.
Delaney was at work on the new slaugh-
ter house being erected for Swift & Co.,
near the Frank Greek, in Kearny. Just
after quitting time, at 5 clock yesterday
afternoon, he started to descend ladder
from the second floor of the building,
where he had been at work. AS he step
ped on the first rung he missed his foot
ing and fel 1head1ong to the cellar, a dis
tance of over fifty feet, striking on his
head.
The mans fellow-workmen, who saw
the mishap, expected he had been killed.
but when they reached his side they found
him breathing. He was unconscious. but
recovered in a short time. DIR. NJ. 0. f.
Dolphin, of Harrison. and the ambulance
from that town were sent for. When the
physician arrived he saw that Delaney
was in a serious condition and he ordered
the patient taken to the hospital as speed
i.y as possible.

years. His daughter. Miss Annie Delaney.
