Sussman, another junkman, who
claimed he had been assaulted by
Fingerote, OF Thursday. Both were
told to appear at s O'Clock this morn
ing. Fingerote was present, and as
Sussman did not arrive, he told the
recorder that he had hit the fellow
because some friends of his had been
insulted by Sussman in the Temple
Shaarey Tfloh on the day of Yom
Kippur. Fingerote added that he had
met Sussman on the street Thursday,
and demanded an explanation. For a
reply, he declares, he received a blow
on the face with a bundle that Suss-
man vas carrying. He said he then
delivered a few punches.
Fingerote was discharged and the
recorder and the few spectators left

by the party outside of the city hall.
He was accompanied by a friend, and
in a few minutes the air was filled
with counter charges. The recorder
finally agreed to hear the case at Z

THREW SLOT MACHINE
IN Deep MANHOLE.

Joseph Stefano, who is the propri-
etor of the fruit store at Smith and
State streets, is searching today for
the person who threw his chewing
gum machine into the Citizens Elec-
trio Light Company's new manhole.
Stefano closed his store at 1880
o'clock last night, and declares that
the slot machine was standing in its
usual place on the State street side
of the building. Upon going to the
store this morning, he saw that the
machine had disappeared. Stefano
started to look for it at once, and
soon found a piece of the stand ly-
ing near the manhole cover. With
a stick the cover was raised, and the
missing machine was seen lying at
the bottom of the excavation. A
rope was procured and it was hoist
ed to the surface, in a battered CON
dition.
Stefano has notified the police, and
says he will have the guilty party
punished if caught.
The pennies were not removed
from the box, although the mechan-
ism is damaged to the extent of $40.

DENIES ANY
SLATE WORK
Governor Stokes Says the RumOr
Is Not True-NO Decisions
Have Been Reached.

TRENTON, Oct. 13.-Governor
Stokes denied yesterday that he had
in any way been a party to a deal
said to have been entered into last
Tuesday by a number of the republi-
can state leaders for the distribution
of some of the higher offices. Accord
ing to the published statements CT
Tuesdays political gathering, it was
agreed that Frank o. Briggs, OF
Trenton, should be the party's can
didate for governor next fall.
The report also had it that Mr..
Briggs was to be succeeded as state
treasurer and chairman of the repub-
lican state committee by Winton c.
Garrison, the present head of the bu-
reau of states of labor and industries,
and that Secretary Dickinson of the
state department would be succeeded
by ex-Assistant Postmaster General
William M. Johnson. This slate was
said to have been agreed upon at a
series of conferences in which the
governor joined during the day. This
he denies absolutely in so far as he is
concerned.
In discussing the matter, Governor
Stokes said:
Il have read in the papers the
statement of the so-called slate affect
ing some of the state offices in the flu
ture. / have absolutely no knowledge
of any such arrangement. l have
not been consulted concerning it.
have not heard it discussed, and knew
nothing of it until | saw it in the
press. Furthermore, | do not believe
that any such arrangements has ever
been made in the matter, or even dis
cussed by the parties mentioned. j
never heard Mr.. Garrison's name sug-
gested in connection with the state
treasurership, nor Senator Johnson's
in connection with that of secretary
of state, until l saw both in print,
| and | do not believe that Senator
Johnson would accept the position if
rendered to him. Indeed, Senator
Johnson has had offers of this Office
before and declined.
The absurdity of such a prearrang-
ed plan as printed in the papers lies
in the fact that it requires. first, the
participation of the voters of the
state; second, the participation of the
legislature, and third, the participa-
ton oil myself. All of us would be
required to act in the matter, and so
far as l know, none of us have been
consulted concerning it"

HELD TO BE INVALID

TRENTON, Oct. 13.-The Court of
Errors yesterday sustained the SUI
preme courts action in setting aside
an ordinance to pave part of Atlantic
avenue, Atlantic City, the suit hav-
ing been against the municipality and
the Cleveland Trinidad Company by
Charles e. Sears and the Barber As
phalt Company, IN the ground that
M hearing had been accorded affect
ed property holders previous to the
completion of the work.
Atlantic City counsel contended
that such hearing was not required,
but this was overruled in both courts.
Another Atlantic enu paving
fight made its appearance in the SUI
preme court today, when counselor
Clarence Cole made application for a
review of an ordinance, claiming that
is specified a patented pavement on
which there could be no general bid
ding. The city's side will be heard

STRINGING
The CABLES
Perth AmbOy Conduit Company
Expects To Have Lines Ready
By Wednesday.

Today the Perth Amboy Conduit
Company has a gang of men at work
stringing the cables for the Citizens
Electric Light Company on State
street.
Victor P. Christopherson, who Is
in charge of the work, said that I'M
less something delayed them, the ca
bles would all be in place by Wednes-
day. Crowds of spectators watched
the intricate process of running what
is called the SNAKE" through the con-
Quits today. The so called snake
is a long strip of tempered steel,
which is pushed through the condu-
it's first. A piece of wire is attached
to the end, and this in turn is also
pulled through. When the men are
ready to run the cables, a heavy wire
stand is attached to the different
wires. After the strand has been run
from one manhole to the next, the
cable end is attached, and with the
aid of a horse is finally placed in the
conduits. At each manhole, after the
cables are all in place, the proper
connections r made, and they are
then ready for the current.
Mr.. Christopherson said today that
as there was a $50 foot stretch to be
connected, it was necessary to send
to Atlantic City for the proper rods,
which are needed to complete the
work.
eff they are late in arriving" said
the foreman, 1--WE will be unavoida-
bly, delayed" The manhole at State
and Smith streets was finished this
morning.
AS Dol as the cables are ready,
the Citizens Electric Light, Heat and
