i 10 $500.

ELIZABETH, Aug. 6.-Elizabeth's
new excise commission met Friday
night at the city hall here and or
ganized by the election of former
School Commissioner Robert B. Cfs-
sci as president, John F. Kenah, Eliz-
abeth's city clerk, will be clerk OF the
new board. The election of Mr.. Cis-
sci was done at a secret session Of the
board. When its members came out
of the private room, Commissioner
Douglass G.. Moore, democrat, an
nounced that Mr.. Cissel had been
unanimously chosen president.
The new presiding officer is a
strong Colbyite. He was chairman of
the Colby meeting, held recently in
this city, and then announced his be-
lief in the principles of the new po-
litical idea.
The board granted renewals of IL
censes and then by a unanimous vote
increased the license fee to $500 a
year. The change will go into effect
September 1. II a saloon keepers
license expires August 81, he will get
a renewal at the present license fee
of 5000, but after that date all APP
plicants must pay the increased fee.
The board received applications for
license inspectors, the salary OF which
is $1,000 a year, from the following
candidates: Robert NJ, Waterbury,
William l.. Duncan, James McMaster,
Charles V. Perry, ]. A. Farlin, VIII
liam McCulley. Jr., George Stewart
and Jacob w. Sheppard. All the as
pirants, except Sheppard. are repub-
leans. Commissioner Moore moved
to lay the applications owe for a
week, as he said he had some more to
add to the list, but forgot to bring
them to the meeting. This was done.
1t is probable there will be a score
of candidates to be balloted for when
the matter is taken up for action.
Former Alderman Sheppard denied
today that he was a candidate, and
said some practical joker must have
sent in an application for him, as he
knew nothing about the matter until
told of it this morning. The board
adjourned to meet August To-

NEVER CAME UP
Son Who Was in the Boat Wait
ed in Vain Could Not Pull
Up the Anchor.

NEWARK, Aug. 6:-Search for
the body of John II. Dunlap, of Jer-
sew CITY. who was drowned in New
ark Bay Saturday afternoon, was
made Yesterday by the friends of the
drowned man, but after dredging
the bay for hours the searchers were
unable to find the body. 1t was
learned that Dunlap drowned while
his twelve-year-old son was watching
him from a rowbOat in which they
had gone fishing. Dunlap and the
boy had anchored the boat and, as
the bites did not come fast enough,
the father decided to go swimming.
He undressed in the boat and then
plunged into the water, where he
amused the boy by showing him +
ious feats. Dunlap returned to the
boat and was about to resume his
fishing when he decided to taken an
other plunge, and he dived into the
water. He did not rise to the sur
face. and after waiting for an hour
the boy tried to row ashore. He was
unable to lift the anchor, however,
and for several hours was compelled
to remain in the boat. His cries for
help YER not heard on shore, and it
was not until two men in a rowboat
saw him and went to his aid that he
was rescued.
The boy vas towed ashore and
taken to police headquarters in this
city. The police sent word to his
mother, but it was not until early
yesterday morning that she was able
TO take the boy home. She swooned
when she heard of her husbands
death, and it was six hours before
she had recovered sufficiently to
come here for her son.
