NeWark's Health Board De-
calres the Rivers PoIlr-
tion Menaces the Gity's
Welfare.
TRUNK SEWER NECESSARY
IT Is THE ONLY REMEDY FOR
THE EVILS EXISTING-DR
WRIGHTsoN TO ATTEND ALL
PURIFICATIoN MEETINGS.


The Board of Health of Newark has
decided to enter into the crusade for the
purifcstion of the Passaic River. At
this weeks meeting it was pointed out
that the pollution OF the stream was
lowering the vitality of the people living
near its banks to such degree that they
were becoming easy victims of any kind
Of sickness.
The question was brought up through
the reading of an invitation receiver
over week ago to attend the pubh
meeting which was held at the Newarl
Library on November "A, at which Gov
ernor Stokes was present DR.. Herold,
president of the. board, said that On
account of the deatlrsof Dr. G. NJ. zeh
none of the members was able to attend
the meeting.
DR.. James 7. Wrightson said that the
agitation to cleanse the river was one
in which the board should take lively
interest.
when the tide is out" said the physi-
clan, "a portion of the bed of the river
is exposed, and its appearance is such
that it is revolving to eyes as well as
the nostrils. l say that the odors from
the waters are such that they lower the
vitality of the people living near the
river to the extent that they become easy
victims of any kind of sickness. The
large death rate in our city is largely
due to odors that come from that poll
luted stream.
II think that we should do something
to abate the nuisance by appealing TO the
legislature
DR.. Herold said that the Legislatare
could not do anything because every
thing it had done the courts had knock
ed OUT
DR.. Wrigbtson responded by saying
that the only way the river could
be purified was by building a trunk
sewer. DIR. L. E. Hollister said
that he had heard it remarked that
as the salt water flowed up the
stream twice day it had tendency to
pickle the sewage, but in his opinion the
picking was not near strong enough to
abate the dangerous odors that come
from the river Commissioners Dobbins
remarked that it was known that Pater-
son was the chief cause of the pollution,
and that the city itself was about on
par with the river, as it was the dirtiest
place he had ever visited.
The discussion closed with the ap-
pointment by the president of DR..
Wrightson to attend all future meetings
in the interest of river pollution

Man Who Worked the New
Jersey Trust Company As
Nathan Canilsld Thought
to Be the New York Man
COT $4,000 ON BAD CHECKS
INVESTIGATIONS ARE NOW
UNDER WAY TO ESTABLISH
THE TWO OPERATORS AS THE
SAME MAN OR AS ACCOM-
PLICEs.

The arrest of Gerald ]. O'Keefe. a
clerk in the office of Receiver of Taxes
Of New York, which revealed new
method of stealing by the manipulation
of carelessly drawn checks. is of local
interest, inasmuch as some of the funds
alleged TO have been stolen were deposit
ted, it is said, with the Jersey City Trust
Company. whose bank is located at Five
Corners Through the manipulation of
such cheeks sent into the New York Tax
OE.ee over three thousand dollars were
stclen.
There are good reasons to believe that
man giving the name of Nathan Cau-
field, who on October Is opened an ac-
count in the New Jersey Trust Company,
depos,ting Achecks endorsed over to him
aud who. on October %, ten days later,
closed the account. having drawn all the
money the checks called for, is either
O'Keefe himself or an accomplice.
When a number of these checks reach
ed their original makers and were pre-
sented to the New York tax office by
persons claiming tax receipts in each in
stance. with one exception they had not
been originally drawn to the order of the
Receiver of Taxes, but to individuals,
and had been carelessly indorsed in
blank. On one check there were indi-
cations of chemical erasure and the
substitution of another name. The man
who wrote this check asserts that he
wrote the words PAY to Receiver of
Taxes" in his endorsement.
O-Keefe was arrested in Roxbury,
Mass, yesterday and has made a par
tai confession.
AS to whether O'Keefe and Caufefd,
who opened the account with the Jersey
City Trust Company, are one and the
same. or that Canfeld was an accomplice
Of O'Keefe, is matter which the New
York police are investigating. The Of
Gcials of the Jersey City Trust Company
are reticent about the whole matter. The
loss of the stolen money will not fall on
New York City, but lies between the in
dorsers and the banks which cashed the
checks.
O'Keefe is a Harvard College man.
He is married and lives at No. 100 East
Ninety-seventh street, Manhattan. He
passed a civil service examination and on
October / was sent to the tax office as
a temporary clerk. His duty was to open
letters and arrange for the cashier
checks received. Checks payable to the
without proper endorsement, but all peo-
pie are not careful in making out or en-
dorsing their checks and it was by taking
advantage Of those who failed to insert
the words PAY to Receiver Of Taxes"
that 0'Keefe was able to abstract them.
President David V. Lawrence and
other officials of the Jersey City Trust
Company refused to say to what extent
were the deposits Of "Canfeld' supposed
to be either O'Keefe or an aceomplice,
er TO discuss the matter in general.

the money for dress, but when women

When Mayor Pagan summoned the
Republican majority Of the new Board
Of Aldermen to his house and fixed up
list of appointments for him TO ratify,
he counted his chickens before they were
hatched In the campaign preceding his
reelection the Mayor made lot of votes
by his anti-bossism stand. The election
over, he started IN to play The part of
boss himself. He succeeded in whipping
some of the Aldermen into line and get
ting their promises to support his slate,
but there are few who do not consider
that they owe the Mayor any favors and
have let it be known that they will stand
by the Republican organization This
means shat the Mayor will not be able
to carry out the plans to put himself up
as boss and to capture for his follow
ers the positions in the gift of the Board
of Aldermen. There are other Republi-
cans in Jersey City besides those who
follow the Record Fagan banner. and
whose services to the party entitle chem
to recognition The talk about the City
Hall is that at least five of the Republi-
can Aldermen favor the election of
George N. Mccarthy as City Clerk and
that if necessary tosaeconplish TINS re-
suit they will go into combination with
the Democrats. Already the Faganites
are making threats against the organiza-
ton Aldermen.

suited IN the setting aside and ignoring
OF other interests, whose participation
was less marked, and which, taken sing
", appear less important, but taken col
lectively are really more important than
that involved in the specific legislation
called for. If the interest of Jersey City
in the "eanal BASIN the interest of
Newark and other municipalities along
the line of the canal; the interests of
those who might advantageously use
public waterway or highway; the inter-
ests of those whose supply of potable
water depends upon the canal; and the
interests of those who hold investments
in the waters and the littoral of the two
lakes be added together, the sum total
viii far exceed the interests of the Le-
high Valley Railroad, no matter how
great the latter may be. And any legis-
lation neglecting the other interests mem
toned would be eminentIy unfair.
1t was this eminent unfairness which
actually and really lay back of the oppo-
sition aroused by the bill and which
brought about its ultimate defeat. This
opposition crystalzed in various ways
There was distinct and decided opposit-
ion on the part of Newark and its Board
of Trade; ON the part of Jersey City,
through its Mayor and other officials; on
the part Of those interested in the water
way as a waterway, through Mr.. Wilde,
of Montclair on the part Of those who
were aroused as to the unfairness of the
proposition on its moral, ethical and legal
sides, which crystalzed in an admirable
document by the late Henry G. Atwater
for the New England Society of the Or
anges, and on the part of the owners of
lake property and privileges by a delega-
tion from that section at the Trenton
committee hearings.
All these efforts tended to show that,

Sheriff Kaiser was at the Court House
this morning, having returned from his
weeks vacation in the South. One Of
his first acts was to sign the appoint
mentof Thomas P Connolly as Warden
Of the County Jail. Mr. Connolly Will
enter upon his duties at once. The ap-
pointment gives general satisfaction.
Connolly is a loyal friend of Col Dickin-
son and until the last campaign Mayor
Pagan considered him one of the most
valuable men in the Republican party.
The Mayor changed his mind about Con-
molly when the latter declared he would
stand BY Col. Dickinson IN his efforts to
have Kaiser made Sheriff.

RELOCATED TO REAR.

The defeat of Frank Gotch by Tom Jenkins must necessarily relegate him to the class of has-beens for the pres ent. Two successive reverses sustain ed by a man who aspires to be both a champion grappler and fighter, are not very encouraging. The Jenkms-G Gotcb bout, while sensational, was lacking i'll interest, all because of the foul tactics indulged in by both men. It appeared that Jenkins was the chief offender, but 1t must be said that GOtch's ac- tions during the struggle have hurt his reputation no little and raised the srs- picion that he is not possessed of a very stout heart. He appeared as if the grueling he was undergoing was not entirely to his liking and wanted to stop once or twice. In the first fall Gotch quit, pure and simple. but redeemed himself afterward by mak- ing a gallant effort to win.
 In the match Gotch displayed fine work, but the dash so conspicuous in the former meeting between the two a few months ago was entirely lacking. Gotch was very careful and did not take any unnecessary chances. He ap- preached Jenkins at the start as if he was afraid of him, and as the affair progressed his confidence did not in crease. Jenkins was on the alert and, outside of his offenses in holding on to the ropes to avoid a fall and edging off the mat when he seemed to be in a tight place, used very good judgment. He was prudent at all times and easily Gotch's superior in strength and en- durance. But despite the outcome 1t was apparent to the crowd that had George Hackenschmidt been in the ring he could have thrown both men without much trouble one after the other. Those who understand the fine points of wrestling and agree that 1t Is a fine sport when promoted honestly after seeing the contest could not fail to appreciate the great strength and ability of the Russian Lion. Jenkins end Gotch were Ike amateurs com- pared with him. As for Gotch, 1t was palpable after the bout had progressed twenty minutes that the Russian would not have to try very hard to throw him and convince the public that he did not go to England in order to avoid a match with him.

MORE MATCHES
 ' IN WORKS
Kelly and Roach Is the Lat-. est One-O' Connell and
 Cnaki, Pickett and Cron- an, Gresham and Owens.

Since the defeat of John E. Kelly by Ed OConnell the other evening there have been rumors and reports that other matches may result from that victory of O'Connell. In fact 1t is more than possible that several con tests may, be arranged in the near future. Kelly feels his defeat keen- ly but what hurts him more than any thing else Is the fact that all the other wrestlers in the city believe they can throw him and that he has simply been throwing big scare at the other local wrestlers for years. Those who know do not believe this however, for Kelly was q fast man at one time, and it is thought by many of his close friends that if he would quit that cast ing shop and get some outdoor em- ployment he would regain all his old speed.
 Jack Roach is one of the ambitious ones who thinks he can throw Kelly. Roach has been doing fast work on the mat for the past year and Is in pretty good condition. He believes he can throw Kelly and is willing to make a side wager to that effect. It may be possible that the two will get together in private for u side bet or the match may be pulled off in public. Details will be given later as to wheth- CT the two will meet Some one wrest- Ter must claim the championship of the city, and Roach may dispute Kel- ly's right to hold the title.
 Another match talked of is that of Dave Cronan and Roacn, or Cronan and Dan Pickett. Either of those two matches would be corkers. A good in which all the local wrestlers would compete and let each man meet the other for one half hour and let points or falls decide the matches. Let the two winners come together for a fln- ish match and have purses offered for the first and .second man. A match between Jack Roach and John E. KeI- ly and Dan Pickett and Dave Cronan on the same night would create a whole lot of interest.
 One match that will soon be settled is that of Howard Gresham and Dich Owens. Many weeks ago these two men posted forfeits for d match for s25 a side and the forfe;,s are still up. The balance of the $25 must be in the hands of the stakeholder by Thursday of this week Both men have been fn training for several weeKs. and are n the pink of condition. The articles call for Gresham to weigh in at 115 and one-half pounds and Owens at 120 and one-haIf As yet no bid has been entered for the match but it Is more than likely that Joe LAwIor. manager of the simonsvfIIe Athletic club will pull the match on in his place.

.ttell Put it All Over the Danish Champion In Five of Six Rounds = They Fought Each Other Out

Philadelphia, May 23.-Abe Attell,
 he crack California featherweight who
 aspires to championship hOn0rs in this
 division, to use a sporting term made
 sucker out of Battling Nelson, the
 Fighting Dane," at the National A. C.,
 his city, last night in a six round bout |rhe mill went the limit and in nearly eyery round Attell had the call on
 points. He landed three blows to the
 Danes one and if there had been de
 cision. Attell would be entitled to 1t by
 l big margin.
 Nelson was fully ten pounds heavier than his rival, and this fact alone eil- abled him to finally tire Attell in the sixth round. The Californian had Nell son bleeding from ear, mouth and nose, and cut his face. In the second round Nelson was trifie groggy, and the bell was welcome boon to him. This was Nelson's first appearance In the east. The attendance was not up to expectations.
 The men fought under straight Mar quls of Queensbury rules. Attell start, ed off by hooking two lefts to the face land Nelson swung right to the head. AlIeil lueu put SlX stldiSut icicS to thS face, and Nelson landed right to the heart. Attell brought the blood from Nelson's ear with n right swing and then jabbed three straight rights to the face.
 Attell was active in the second. He hooked a left to the ear and swung a right to the neck. Attell uppercut with both hands to the jaw and then jabbed the left to the nose. Nelson got ! two rights on the Kidneys and hooked i the right to the ear. Attell hooked i've i lefts To the face without return. Nothing daunted Attell brought more l blood with a vicious left swing on the nose. They exchanged rights to the body and Artell staggered Nelson with a right swing on the ear Atteil was i the ageressor in the third and fourth rounds. He landed two rights on the head and Nelson hooked two lefts to | the jaw. Attel1 swung heavy rights and lefts to the body and Nelson hook cd left to the chin.
 AtteIl opened the sixth with the left. He swung his hand six times, connect ling each time. He then jabbed three Iefts with a return. Nelson hooked hard rights and lefts to the jaw and then put TWO rights under the heart
