KRAljSE ESCAPES
Fireman Accused Of Striking
Captain Segale Gets Off
With a Fine As Evi-
dence Of a Blow
Was Not Con-
elusive.

Hugo Krause, member of No. 6 Engine
Company, was put on trial before the
Beard of Fire Commissioners, charged
with using disrespeetful language to and
striking Captain John segale Of the
same company. The row occurred on
February IA at two O'clock in the after
noon.
Krause was fined fen days pay for
using disrespeetful language to his
superior officer, but the evidence in
connection with the charge Of striking
his captain was not sufficient to war
rant the Board in finding him guilty,
otherwise he would have been dismissed
from the force, 1t appears that Krause
called the captain coward and threw
money on a table and offered to fight him
at any time and place. The two men
clinched, but Krause's arms were pin-
ioned by Fireman Kennedy. Krause adj
mitted calling the captain a coward after
the captain called him foul name.
Firemen William Dingler, Philip ]. KEN,
neay and John Goede gave evidence in
favor Of Krause. declaring that no blow
had been struck.
President Connolly, in imposing sem
tence on Krause for using disresps sctful
language to his superior officer, said the
evidence was not sufficient to prove that
he had struck the captain and the Board
was forced to give him the benefit of the
doubt Had You been found guilty Of
this charge" he said to Krause, you
would have been summarily dismissed
from the department
Commissioner Brennan said that the
striking Of a superior officer was seri-
Gus thing. NIIad the evidence shown
you had been guilty of this charge,' he
said. nothing would have prevented
your dismissal. Fortunately for you, no
matter what We might think in our own
minds, we must find you not guilty of
that charge. 1t will not be tolerated
for you or any other man to take the
law in your own hands. You have the
remedy of any grievance by applying to
the Chief Engineer or members of this
Board. You had close call and you
had better be careful
A communication from the Seventh
Ward Improvement Association also
asked that the box on Old Bergen road
be removed to Old Bergen road and

port made by the commission and for
inally asked him to give his approval to

chusetts womens reformatory and to the
New York e'isy inzsit,staisss. He also
spoke Of investigations he had made IN

In his reply Governor Stokes made a
brief resume of the correctional and
charitable institutions of the Stale,
showed what they are costing each year.
and said they all needed increased ap-
propriations This fact, he Thought,
should be considered in planning for the
new reformatory He stated that he be-
Loved in such an institution and thought
no one could object to il, but the other
needs of the State must be looked at
also. He closed by saying that some
plan should be devised by which the cost
of establishing and maintaining the re-
formatory could be brought down to the
lowest possible figure.

ment Association, is interested in a
movement to start a new organization
on the same lines as the one of which
he was the head and from which he
Withdrew some time ago. Hoehl, who
was one of Mayor Fagan's most ardent
supporters in that section, has had a
change Of heart and now he is as strongly
against the Mayor as he was in his
favor. His purpose in organizing a new
organization is to show the many inn
