Nevertheless the wedding was quite
a surprise to friends of both parties.
Mr.. Murphy is prominently con-

best families of Fulton and the af-
fairs of the city. He was frequent
visitor here, apparently for special
reasons, and became one of us in
a social way.
Miss Wilson was a decided belle
among the companions of her cir
Gle and a charming young lady in
deed. She lived with her aunt, Mrs.
Knox Everett. The happy pair are
now at home in Fulton. From the
Leader we learn that Mr.. Murphy
will be employed with the Mellow.
ell-Franklin Co. at that place.

New Manager.

At meeting of the directors ].
W. Woosley was elected manager
of Reynolds Opera House last Sat.
urday night, vice J. C. Reynolds re.
signed. T h e resigning manager
and the one who succeeds him are
both popular men. The house has
been in good hands and is yet to be
as long as Mr.. Woosley is manager.
1t was principally through Mr.. Rey-
nolds' efforts that the opera house
was built. He secured the bulk Of
subscriptions and put the enter
prise on its feet, and but for him it
might have been several years more
before Union City enjoyed the priv
ileges of building of its kind. His
resignation is therefore regretted,
but the election of Mr.. Woosley is
assurance that the house will con-
tinue to enjoy good patronage.

PLAN TO SETTLE JAPANESE PROBLEM.
Speaking on the Japanese problem in
San Francisco. Mayor Schmitz last night
characterized IL as "a tempest in a teapot. -
He said that when he returned home ne
intended to urge the State Legislature
to repeal the laws relating to the segregation
OF Japanese pupils. and make new legislation
providing for a limit a. TO the age at which
a child can enter a certain grade in any
school.
4 think this age limit will solve the
whole problem" said Mayor Schmitz.
The Japanese surely could not complain
the Americans. and il would not be then
necessary to class the Japanese as Mon
~golians, which has caused them much
grief of spirit and has been really at the bot
tom OF the whole trouble. With the age
limit the only discrimination against the
out OF the schools, because the majority
OF the Japs who are in the primary grades
are grown men. There will then be no
grounds for outside Interference with San
Francisco's school question"
Mayor Schmitz said that the President
couldn't have chosen a better man than
Secretary Metcalf to conduct the Govern
ment inquiry. but said that in case Secretary
Metcalfis report was adverse to the San
Francisco school board he didn't believe
the people Of that city would do more than
receive it with courtesy.

John HankIn Denies the Statements Of
W. W. RridEeman.

John Hankin, who il in the steamftting
business at $50 West Twenty fifth street
explained to a SUN reporter who saw him
Yesterday his reasons for prosecuting his
former bookkeeper, William Westcott
Bridgeman of Nutley. n. j., for stealing
$40, 900 from the firm two years ago. Mr..
Hankin denied that a prom Use OF immunity
90 Bridgeman had been made after Mr..
Hankin had taken his house, furniture and
everything he had.
AS a matter of fact" said Mr.. Hankin,
this man is not entitled 70 any sympathy.
For years he went under the name Of Vest
colt, and under that name conducted a
business at 10 Thames street. I decided 10
prosecute him because l felt that / would
be morally responsible to any future en-
ployer who should take him as a man with
a clean record.
-The sole reason why he was not arrested
two years ago was because | felt my first
duty was to my creditors, and had the fact
of such a large theft come out at that time
they would have suffered. He WAS arrested
lust as soon a. our business was in sue
shape that we could stand the fact coming
out. The statement that he was promised
immunity ia absolutely false. al he had been
told repeatedly that 1t wac my intention to
nave him arrested.
"We did not seize his furniture. and as to
the house in Nutley, n. j., which il was
stated he had turne over voluntarily TO
us, the fact il that he signed a confession
that all but $3.50 of the purchase money
had come out OF the funds stolen from us.
Ills wife Immediately paid us 1000 for
the house, which was 81 500 less than our
equity. They are not destitute. or the
500, 900 stolen we IA got Jack $500. We
learned since hat he was still continuing
10 speculate in various stock schemes. His
wife informed us when we discovered that
he had been robbing US for two years that
he had lone the same thing before. Under
these circumstances | felt it my duty to
prosecute this man just as soon az our
creditors had been nrOteCted.n

FLIMSY BUILDINGS PUT UP.
BROOKLYN GRAND JURY NAMES
4 PRESENTNENT.
A Class Of Builders Who Look 10 Immediate
PrOnt Only-A Menace TO Life and 90
The Subsequent Innocent investor The
Court Commends the Presentment.

tVuEN tvhhhiCuus uV
The Kings county Grand Jury made a
presentment to Judge Crane in the County
Court, Brooklyn, yesterday concerning
the construction of fimsy buildings in that
borough. The matter was presented to the
Grand Jury by the borough officials. A
number of witnesses were called and the
jurors made personal Investigations con-
corning the affair. The presentment reads:
The sentiment OF this body is unaninous inits
condemnation of the alarming condition that
obtains in this particular. The utter and per-
sistent disregard OF the ordinary safeguards
that the laws provide by a class of builders
who have only in view the immediate profit
that will accrue on an operation is a serious
menace not only TO life. but also to the subse-
uuent innocent investor. Therefore. this
Grand Jury suggests and recommends the en-
actment OF a law that will permit OF the Grim
inal punishment of second offenders. or that
class that might be termed wihul or per-
sistent violators OF the building laws.
II recommends the re vision Of the laws gov
erninR building construction so that they may
be unified and made consistent and the final
authority concentrated.
II is evident, however. that there is a laxity
in the proper application OF the means already
Mt the disposal of the Department of Build
inGs, due to the lack of the employment Of
proper business methods.
II would seem that there should be q more
explicit understanding between that branch
OF the Corporation Counsel's oflce and the
Building Department as to the prosecution OF
violations. so that there may be some check
Of record to indicate wherein the lack of en-
-ergy may be. The mere act Of filing a viola
ton. or the receiving of it by the Corporation
Counsel's once. can hardly be considered the
fulnlment of the duties Of those Immediately
concerned.
After reading the paper Judge Crane
said in reply:
Your presentment is a most practical one.
There is nothing more serious than having
women and children entering buildings which
are likely to fall, which was the case some
years ago in New York. when certain buildings
under construction fell to the ground. A
copy Of the presentment will be sent to the
various city departments which are inter-
ested in the construction OF buildings.
The builders Of fifteen buildings on Ash
ford street, Blake ven and Warw ick
avenue in the Brownsville section have
been cited to appear before Supreme Court
Justice Dickey in Brooklyn on Monday for
alleged violations Of the building laws.
