MAlcoLM's SHORTAGE.
Affairs OF the Passaic B. & L. AS
sociation in a Tangle.

ISOLATION in a Tangle.
Day by day the shortages in the ac-
counts of William Malcolm, treasurer of
the Mutual Building and Loan Associa-
ton of Passaic, are growing larger, so
Lawyer W. r. Ryan told Vice Chancel-
lor Stevenson today.
Two weeks ago Mr.. Ryan asked the
Vice Chancellor to appoint receiver Tor
the institution. Tho lawyer told the
Court that he represented $4,000 worth
Of shares in the association. He said
..ha. it was at first supposed that Nal
colin had stolen about $15O,000, but an
examination had been made and defalca-
tions were daily coming to light.
There were still thirty-eight passbooks
to be examined and it was impossible to
tell what they would reveal. For this
reason Mr.. Ryan asked the Vice Cham
cellor to continue the order to show
cause why receiver should not be ap-
pointed for another week. 1t was
granted.
The experts at work. on the books OF
the association say that NIalcolm's swim
ding was perfect system and must
have extended over a period OF ten
years. 1t was in the matter OF with
drawals" that he robbed the association
of it's funds.

SAM s MEN ON
AN OUTING CO
Mayor Pagan ALI by
Himself Looks at the
Parade From City
Hall Steps.
NOT Even cHEERED
Col. Dickinson Monopolizes
the Attention Of the Re-
publican Cohorts.
SENATOR KEAN ABOARD
Eighth Ward Boys Steal the
Sixth Ward Delegations
Band-Boat Sails With
Lots of Politics.

The Samuel D. Dickinson Association
got away on its annual outing this morn
ing with flying colors. The members
boarded the steamer Thomas Patten at
the Grand street dock for Port-all-Peca
AT Ten o'clock sharp. The sun shone
beautifully as the procession, about one
thousand two hundred strong, marched
from the headquarters of the association
on Jersey avenue to the boat, and the
.Smil;ns Jolsaafsies,, in line beamed with
delight as they followed in the wake
of their leader.
Colonel Dickinson headed the parade
afoot He was preceded by line OF
mounted police and marched alone. Be
hind him came his staff, including the Off
GERS of the association and few of the
trusty ones. Each man wore a gray
Fedora and red badge bearing a pho
tograph of the standard bearer They
carried red canes with small American
flags attached.
When the procession reached the City
Hall not more than a score of people
were waiting to review it. Mayor Pagan
was in his office when the parade was
turning the corner of Newark avenue
and Grove street From his window
he could not see anything in the way
Of excitement ON the street that would
indicate that the parade was coming and
the procession was almost in front of the
hall before he knew of it. He then
hurried out and took his position on the
small reviewing stand on the sidewalk.
MAYOR ALL ALONE.
For once His Honor was alone. Not
even his trusty secretary accompanied
him. 1t was explained that his body
guard had deserted him to take part in
the parade. As the marchers went by
each saluted the Mayor by dipping his
flag. and His Honor smiled. Hurrahs
for the Chief Executive were noticeably
absent. the only noise being made by the
three brass bands, and an occasional
laugh from Captain Jack Graham and
Johnny NTeastell.
After the parade had passed, the
Mayor donned an outing cap and hurried
to the pier. There he met Elbert Rap
pleye and a few others, but there was so
much fuss over Colonel Sam that few
inquired whether the Mayor was going
along. Even Bobby Carey had deserted
him.
On the City Hall steps, on the Mont
gomery street side, stood City Collector
Robert Davis and Eugene Kinkead, who
viewed the line as it proceeded toward

LOSES HIS CLOTHES.
Capt. Hoag Came Ashore and
Forgets What Did Happen--
Accuses Two Men.

Captain Moses Hoag, skipper of the
steamboat Gertie, came ashore Saturday
evening to stretch his legs, and Incl
dentally reduce large-sized roll of green
backs which he had in his best trousers
pockets He strolled through the lower
sections of the city and dropped into a
saloon run by John Philips at No. SO
Essex street.
When Sunday morning dawned the
Captain awoke in a strange room, some
what bewiIdered. He took his bearings
and then decided to dress. The fates
had willed otherwise, however. as his
clothes, containing some seventy odd
dollars, ah disappeared.
The Captain said things finally at
tracted the attention of some of the ten
ants of the house, who told him that he
was in John Philips rooms.
As soon as the captain could obtain
suitable apparel he went to police head
quarters and made a complaint against
John Phillips and his bartender, Dennis
O'Brien.
Detective James Larkins investigated
Philips and OBrien will be examined to-
morrow morning before Judge Hoos
Both men denied having had anything
to do with the disappearance of Hoag's
clothes and money.

American Flag Hoisted as
the Dickinsons March
Along.
CHEERED BY PARADERS
Davis Association Distributes
Hats for It's Great Dem
onstration Wed.
nesday.
CHEERED BY PARADERS

Bright and early this morning a big
American flag was hoisted at the top of
the tall pole in front of the clubhouse of
the Robert Davis Association, on Mercer
street, in honor of the Samuel Dickinson
Association, which is enjoying its annual
outing.
The graceful act of the Democrats was
thoroughly appreciated by the Republi-
they passed the corner of Mercer and
Grove streets.
The Dickinsons Illuminated their head
quarters in Jersey avenue last year as a
compliment to the Davis Association
when the boys returned in triumph from
their outing.
DAyIS'S BOYS PLANS.
The executive committee of the Davis
Association will meet tonight to complete
details for Wednesdays great parade
and outing.
The demand for hats has been so great
that it was found necessary today to
order 100 dozen extra ones. Messrs.
higgins, Smith and Wedin had an ex-
tremely busy session until a late hour
Saturday night supplying the demands of
Democrats for the Davis hat, which all
hands say is beauty.
DISTRIBUTING HATS.
The committee will be at the club
house today and tomorrow from P. NJ.
until IL P. NJ. to continue the work of
distribution. 1t is foregone conclusion
that this committee will have its hands
full to accommodate the rush of the late
comers.
A conservative estimate of the number
of hats which will be worn when the gi-
gantic outing leaves town is placed at
5000.
About one hundred and fifty members
of the Ninth Ward Democratic Club
will take part in the big parade and out
ing on Wednesday. They will leave
their headquarters in charteded trolley
cars for lower Jersey City.

VOTING MACHINE.
Continuance Used in New
England States on Ex-
hibition in the City
Hall.

John McTammany, of No. AZ Booraem
avenue, this city, the inventor of the
McTammany voting machine. which is
in use in Maine, Massachusetts,, Rhode
Island and Connecticut, is giving an ex-
hibition of the operation of the machine
in Room Is at the City Hall. The City
Hall Commission has given him permls-
sion to occupy the room for the re-
mainder of the week.
About fifty men, including several city
officials, were much interested this morn
ing in the working of the automatic ma
chine, which is an upright wooden booth
seven feet high, four feet wide and four
feet deep. 1t is collapsible, doubling
up like jack knife, so that it can be
conveniently handled and stored when
not in use To cast a ballot under the
McTammany system, voter enters the
booth and is there confronted with the
voting machine, consisting of steel
casing which is detachable, secured to
the back wall of the booth. The voting
machine has fixed face plate to which
is secured the voting list containing the
names of all the candidates or PROPOSE
tions, etc, to be voted for.
Opposite and to the right of the candi-
dates names there is a vertical row OF
buttons corresponding in position and
number to the names on the voting list,
and back of the button and within the
casing of the machine, there is a tally
sheet so ruled and printed as to bring
each candidates votes in a separate col
umn by reason of the longitudinal move
mcnt impaired to the sheet by the voter
stepping upon the platform. Intervening
between the buttons and the talley sheet
are series of vertical rows of punches
corresponding in position and number
with the buttons on the outside of the
machine, and when the voter presses in
button opposite a candidates name he
forces the punch through the talley sheet,
perforating the same, and in this manner
recording his vote for each candidate. II
is impossible for a man to vote twice for
the same candidate on the machine, nor
can he vote for two candidates for the
some office without detection.
The machine employs no registers,
counting wheels, locking mechanisms OF
anything that would compIcate or en-
/ danger the safe and accurate working OF
the machine 1t simply takes record
of the votes cast, and when the election
is over the record is removed from the
voting machine and inserted in small
counter, and by running it through, like
sheet through an organette, the votes
are counted up and the total for each
candidate given.

by the County Clerk, who will make ar
rangements for placing the names of the

Bishop Regarding Parochial
Schools.

Bishop O'Connor of the Newark Dio-
cese was requested by the Board Of
Health of this city to instruct the priests
of the diocese to advise all paroclial
school children to get vacinated before
returning to school.
Vaccination is compulsory in the public
schools, but the city has no authority
over the parochial schools.
1t is believed that the Catholic Church
authorities will assist the Health author
tiles in every way possible to prevent an
outbreak of smallpox this winter.
Drs. Stout and Hart today vacniated
over one hundred public school children
at the office of the Board of Health.
