FORGED NAME
OF THE BISHOP
James Powers, Young Business
Man of Trenton, Accused Mar
ried Hastily and Disappeared.

TRENTON, May 9.-Considera-
BILE surprise was created here yester-
day when it was reported that George
A. Powers, one of the best known
young business men of this city, had
left town, leaving behind him a story
of ''frenzied finance" on a small scale
and an Indictment by the grand jury,
charging him with forging the name
of Bishop James A. McFaul, for
whom he was at one time bookkeep-
er, and that of his own brother, Rev.
James J. Powers, secretary to the
bishop, to a note which was discount
ed by the Trenton Trust & Safe De-
posit Company.
The company has about $4,000 of
Powers notes, but $3.50 of the
amount is genuine. The indorse-
ment on the others of Bishop McFaul
and Father Powers is remarkably
good, but the clergymen declare it to
be forgery.
Added interest is given the young
mans case by the announcement that
he was married Thursday night in
Philadelphia to young woman with
whom he has been keeping company
in that city.
Powers is the owner of a laundry
here. The concern is said to be solv-
ent and will probably be used to pay
off his obligations. He is said to
have contracted personal debts to the
aporeqate of $4,000
The young man seems to have
spent most of the money on good
clothes and flowers for his friends,
although he has not been addicted to
any vices.

An important meeting of the Bull
ding Trades Association was held in
the Dana building in Smith street,
last night, and while the bosses are
not saying much about the matter
this morning, it is understood that
the matter of open shop was taken
up and discussed at some length.
The bosses, 1t is said, are getting
tired Of the fact that the carpenters
who are out on strike will not return
to work. Things are commencing to
pile up and something must soon be
done. The matter of having an op-
en- shop, it is said, was urged. The
bosses do not want to employ out
side help so much as they want to
give the young men of this city
chance to learn the trade.
Give Young Men Chance.
In speaking about young men
learning trades one of the bosses
said this morning that the unions
limited the number to such an extent
that it was next to impossible to give
the young men chance.
Some of the bosses were not pres
ent at the meeting last night and il
is said that a special meeting will be
held one night next week, at which
they will all be on hand The matter
of open shop will be taken up again
and fully discussed. The carpenter
bosses will bring out the fact that the
union has gone into business for it.
self, hence the union is no more, also
that mechanics in other trades either
quit work on buildings or would not
start work where the bosses helped
out. This, they claim, is not right
and they want the open shop as soon
as possible, so that they can have
enough men and mechanics to do the
work always.
Do Not Fear Open Shop.
The journeymen of different trades
say that they do not think the open
shop will ever reach here for they
claim that the bosses of this city are
aware of the fact that this idea was
tried in Montclair and no good came
of it for the bosses, who had to give
in after a long and bitter struggle.
No signs of settlement are to be
seen between the bosses and Journey
men and, at present, the outlook is
much blacker than ever before.
This morning the work of putting
in the plate glass in the old postoffice
building was started by out of town
men. The bosses are still at work on
this building and the metal ceiling
work is to start Monday morning.

shooting was done with a rifle loaned
by another boy. The mishap caused
much commotion in the vicinity and

lads condition were made while the
physicians worked heroically to allie
viate his sufferings and save him
from succumbing to the effects of the
wound.
Patrolman Andrew Jensen made a

ing and every fact tended to prove
that it was entirely accidental. The
Bath boy was greatly frightened and
grieved as he realized the extent of
the unfortunate happening, the eli
max to bit of boyish diversion. Mr..
and Mrs. Seaman declined to make
any complaint against the lad as they
were convinced that the wounding of
their son had occurred by accident.
The bullet was extracted in to-

and the lad was removed to his home
about 2 o'clock this afternoon with
indications pointing to his recovery.
