TO PATCH UP
THE AUTO BILL
Senator FfeIinghuysen and Lead
er Perkins Get Together on
The Measure.

TRENTON, Mar. 2S.-Senator
Frelinghuysen, author of the automo-
bile bill, which has arouesd so much
interest in the legislature, got togeth-
er yesterday upon some propositions
for amending the measure in the
house. They went over the bill care
fully and Leader Perkins, who said
last week that it could not pass the
house in the shape it had gone
through the senate, made some sug-
gestions which he thought ought to
be incorporated in the measure, so
as to modify it and make it more eff
fective. They finally agreed upon a
numb of changes, which will prob
ably be incorporated when the bill
comes UP tomorrow or Thursday.
Among the changes is one making
the age at which drivers of motor We
hicles may be licensed 16 years, in
stead of 1 s years. The fee for cars is
reduced from S. TO S and 50, accor-
ding to the power The state COM
missioner is to be given power to is
sue permits for learners 70 operate
cars for Il period of three weeks,
when accompanied by a regularly Ii
censed driver. The holder of a IL
cense is to be compelled to sign it,
and when it is required to be shown
to an inspector he must sign his
name in the presence Of the official
as a means of his identification as the
real holder of the license. The reg
istration numbers must be stationary
and placed on both the back and
front of the machine, and not more
than Is inches from the ground.
When a person is arrested for any
violation of the new law, he may
go before a magistrate in the county
in which he is arrested, no matter
where the offense may have been
committed. This was designed to
bill that offenders might be dragged
the whole length of the state for a
hearing. Provision is also made for
appeals to the common pleas courts
from the conviction in magistrates
court. No such provision was con-
tanned in the original bill.
Another suggested amendment is a
requirement that drivers of machines
must decrease the speed to not more
than a mile in five minutes when
coming within 200 feet of horse on
the public road. Another gives the
inspectors the right to stop any ma
chine anywhere on the road and de-
mand an exhibition of the license,
and refusal to show it will be taken
as evidence that none is held, max
ing the driver liable to the provisions
of the law.
1t is said that with these and one
or two other minor changes the bill is
likely to pass.

the Grand Jury is about to probe into
the ugly stories of mishandling of
school funds in the purchase of school
supplies and furniture and in the con-
struction of new school buildings.
One of the particular petty gratis
which is to be gone into relates to the
appropriation of mechanics employed
by the School Department by Di-
rector Larry F. Walsh. This graft
was reported to the authorities by a
former employe of the department.,
whose story has been investigated and
shown to be correct.
WALSH'S PETTY GRAFT
Walsh's graft is not as great as
that for which his masters Ruef and
Schr1itz have been indicted. Techni-
cally it may be called malfeasance in
Office, malfeasance being defined to
mean the wrongful or illegal use of
authority by an official.
The accusation against Walsh is
contained in the allegation that he as
a member of the Board of Education,
laid off employees of the construction
force of the School Department that
they might work for him on build
ings he was erecting. Walsh is a

were the best for the use of pupils
will be thoroughly ventilated by the
Grand Jury. W. ]. Gum, the Pacific
Coast representative of the American
Book Company the school book trust,
is personal friend of Ruef, and
President Altman is brother -ir-law
of the curly boss-otherwise he would
not be in the position of president of
the board.
When the schools opened two years
ago change was made in the study
lists which affected thirty different
text books. In almost every instance
the change meant increased dividends
for the American Book Company
Since that time scarcely school book
has been selected by the Board of
Education which did not bear the i'm
print of the American Book Com
pany. The course of study of the
San Francisco School Department
reads like catalogue of the text
book trust.
Roncovieri was president of the
School Board at the time the change
was ordered. Now he is Superintend-
ent of Schools.
In addition 10 the school book graft

contractor. and owing to the strin-
gency of the labor market it was very
convenient for him to be able to "bor-
row" city mechanics to further his
own work.
AS Walsh looks at the proposition
it makes no difference whether chill
dren sit in draughty school houses or
remain away from school so long as
the buildings he is erecting are fin-
ished on time Education, in the
philosophy of Walsh, is utterly un-
when compared to the divi-
dends which accrue to a contractor
who can get workmen to finish his
jobs. Walsh's graft is so petty that
it might not have been discovered
had not former employe of the
School Department brought it to the
attention of the authorities.
USES EMPLOYEES OF CITY
1t is not charged that Walsh had
the city pay the men who worked for
him. When he NEEDED squad of
painters or plumbers he would simply
grant certain of those mechanics
leaves of absence from the School
Department and put them on his own
pay roll and on his own jobs.

Report of a Clash
With Rest of
Board

OuperVSor MAX Niamiock
is the latest member of the
Board of Supervisors to fall
within the shadow of an IN
dictment. Mamlock himself
appreciates that it Is at hand.
and he is prepared to furnish
a bond the moment an at
tempt Is made to arrest him.
Mamlock is deeply involved
in the scandal which has en-
tangled Supervisor Nicholas.
In fact, it was Mamlock who
introduced to Nicholas some
of the agents of the furniture
firms who sold supplies to
the city on an arrangement
BY which ten per cent was
paid to members of the
Board of Supervisors.
The attention OF the men
who are making the ir1vesti-
CATION into municipal affairs
was first directed to Nam
lock when it became known
that he was the owner of
eleven automobiles. Nam
lock went into the automo-
bile business shortly after he
was elected to the board. He
rents out his machines by the
hour and has established d
profitable business. Before
he became the owner of mo-
tor cars Mamlock was an
electrician.
The furniture scandal is of
far greater proportions than
the charge against Nicholas
of grating to the extent OF
$40 would indicate. The
furniture for almost all of the
city departments was pur-
chased by Nicholas, and in
these transactions he was
often assisted by Mamlock.
1t was not among Mamlock's
duties, but he consented to
act, just to help along
1t has been learned that
Holmes Brothers did not en-
iov a monopoly of the city's
furniture trade. There is
ample evidence to show that
other firms secured a fat slice
of the business. MANY fur
niture dealers, since the graft
has been exposed, have
shown an inclination to tell
of the strange conditions
which existed. They claim
that only two or three firms
could secure contracts for
furniture. 1t is known that
Joseph Fredericks & Co. sold
furniture to the city, and it is
understood that members of
the firm are to be called be-
fore the Grand Jury.
Mamlock is on the anxious seat. He
expects to hear at any moment that
he has been indicted
I'm case they indict me" he said
yesterday. Il will have a bond ready.
My people are well known. and do
not anticipate any difficulty in ar

Editor LEADER: About four years ago
bought a No. 3 Sharples separator of
j. f. Stewart for S71 cash, and he was
to furnish pulley that cost 81 so when
ever got tired of running the sep
arator by hand, so | could run it by
water power. The separator soon got
ont of order, and / wrote to Stewart to
see if he could tell me what was the
matter got no answer | wrote an
other letter, aud got no answer; and |
wrote the third letter, and got no an
swer. Then the separator was getting
so bad l had to quit using It until
wrote to Pennsylvania to the factory
then l got it TO running again, and last
fall l wrote to Stewart for the pulley.
as | wanted to put in water wheel !;
but again | got no answer. Then he
came here Wednesday, May %, and
wanted me to support him. Say, he
must have gall big as Il cook stove
He acknowledged that he had got the
letters and that ! had paid for the
pulley, and he gave me a check for
$3.50 to square the account. He said
that was one of his worst faults-that
he was careless about answering letters.
Now that is bad fault in any county
officer. What like about Ira Wade is
that when l write to him get ar an
swer by the next mail; and everybody
else tells me he treats them the same
way. So l hope Ira will be elected
again. a man who will neglect one
