Special to the EVENING NE WS:
NEW BRUNSWICK, May 9.-The
Board of Freeholders met here today
to fix the county budget of appropri-
ations for the current fiscal year. The
aggregate is considerably lower than
that of last year, whsn the old board
made up budget amounting to
1919, 9,618. SO.
The budget this year does not in
clude the state school tax as the state
will get enough money from the rail-
road taxation to pay all. The total
appropriation for other expenses is
$207,400. This is $5O,2S6. Is less
than the budget of last year outside
of school tax.
Bridge in Total Sum.
The appropriation for bridges is
in a lump sum instead of dividing 1t
up for each place in the county as
formerly. The Amboy bridge has a
separate appropriation of $4,000.
Most of the items are the same as
last year. There is an increase of
$500 in the court expenses appro-
priation. Several appropriations are
reduced from last years figures.

Court salaries, fees and ex-
penses $3S, 500

Had Parade.
After the ballots had been counted
the newly elected chiefs and friends
fell in line and, headed by the West
Minister Cadets fife and drum corps
with the Independent fife and drum
corps in the rear, they marched to
State and Smith streets, where the
line was halted while Chief James
Glenn sent in two taps, that Mead
was the lucky man. The march then
started again for the Imperial Cafe,
where a supper was served by the
newly elected chief and his two as
sistants.
After supper addresses were made
and all had jolly good time until
late hour, when they departed for
home. Chief Glenn was present at
the banquet and received many hand
shakes from firemen who have not
seen him for some time, as he was
confined to his home with illness.

FOR GENERAL
STRIKE, NOW.
Building Trades Council Said TO
Have Discussed the Matter
Painters Object.

At a meeting of the Building
Trades Council last night in the un-
ion rooms in the Adelaide building, 1T
is understood that the proposition to
call out the other mechanics was dis
cussed. Much opposition to a general
strike was raised by the painters, it
is said.
This morning few mechanics are
at work and it is expected that by to-
morrow all of the trades will be out.
The bosses are not saying much about
the case at present, but they do not
seem TO be worrying. From what can
be learned the bosses will meet Fri
day night.

NEW BRUNSWICK, May 81.
Robbery is believed to have been the
motive for the double murder of the
Whitemans at Browntown Monday.
George Whiteman, the son, always
carried, according to the statement
made by his sister and friends, from
SIS to 1926 and upon an investiga-I
tion being made of his personal eff
fects and an examination made of his
pockets after the murder all his mon
ey was found missing.
The murder of the son is also be-
-lieved to have been committed by his
own revolver George Whiteman all
ways had a 32 calibre revolver lying
on the bar behind the counter. This
is missing and also the rifle the
Whitemans had in the inn, and the
bullets with which Whiteman was
killed were fired from a 80 calibre re-
volver 1t is thought the murderers
got possession of the revolver while
the son back was turned.
Best Detectives Employed.
Sheriff Church yesterday employ
ed three of the best detectives on the
Pinkerton force to work upon the
case. They arrived there yesterday
afternoon and at once started to run
down every possible clue. Detective
Peltier, of Perth Amboy, and Justice
Sedan, of this city, with other Off
GERS, were also at work on the case.
Footprints were found in the cellar
leading to the spots where fires were
started in the hope of destroying all
trace of the crime. It was at first
thought that but one fire of rags and
paper had been started, but yesterday
another heap of refuse which had
burned until it smouldered out was
found The tracks were apparently
of the same size, and it could haraiy
be ascertained whether they were
those of more than one person or not
1ney were all measured and note
made of the length of the tracks
PeItier's Good Work.
The negro, George Day, toward
whom suspicion was directed because
he had made threats years ago to
satisfy a grudge against the White
mans, was located working for
sawyer at Robbins Corner, Mon
mouth county, yesterday, through ef-
forts of Detective Peltier. His move
ments on Monday were accounted for
by Peltier, as he worked from am.
to 6 pm. on the fatal day, thus re-
moving that clue.
Use No BloodhOunds.
The three Pinkerton detectives,
Murphy, Wade and Knight, are ac-
lively at work. 1t was decided today
TO use no bloodhounds because OF
the lapse of time since the crime.
1t has been ascertained that man
with shotgun and revolver and
roll of money was seen in South Am
boy late Monday after the time OF the
murder, and he boarded a train Tor
Camden. AS a revolver, shotgun ana
quantity of money were taken from
the Whitemans' hotel 1t is thought
that the man seen in South Amboy
knew something of the crime. An ef-
fort is being made to track him.

SENATOR LA TOILETTE.

The republi AN senators in congress
made display of themselves when they
left Tie chamber ostentaiously as La Fol
lette began to speak on the railroad
uuea ion. His rebuke was an unlocked
for sting that few were too callous to
feel. "You may 90 out" he said; 81
am addressing the country and they will
hear me. And these seats that you va
cate voluntarily now may be permanently
vacated before the people are done with
you" Incidentally in this speech

CRITICISES THE COURT.

In a special message to congress Presi-
dent Roosevelt keenly criticised Federal
Judge Humphrey because of his decision
in the beef trust cases at Chicago.
Several years ago we had a national
campaign in this country. 1t was along
about 1896. Then the democratic party
was arraigned by republican newspapers
because it had undertaken to criticise
the courts. And now comes president,
elected as republican, and in a special
message to congress, commits the very

most bitter condemnation by republican
editors and republican leaders
"Little by little, but steadily as mans
march to the grave" the Chicago plat
form is being vindicated.
