security is purely an assumption OF the
banker himself, anu is an assn 1aption
that sticks out rather prominent " 10
most financial institutions 1t 1s
equally true that the public has been
impressed with the idea that bankers
as a class are necessarily more honest
than other classes and must be re-
garded with q peculiar sort Of rever.
ence. Hence the lily concealed Joy at
the presentation Of facts and figures
calculated to prove that the banker Is
In reality but human and wholly un.
entitled to the halo he would wear or
the pedestal he would occupy. Banks
are all right and bankers are all right
when they are all right, just as In the
case Of the 600 laborer.

Reed Taught Pony a Trick.

John Reed and wife had quite an
experience with their gentle little
pony recently. The pony became
lfrisky and when John wanted her to
go forwards she started off in the
opposite direction. John told his
wife to Get in the rig and he would
show the pony a lesson she wouldn't
soon forget. He got down the raw
hide whip and laid it on. The pony
went up in the air, jerked the lines
from johns hands, struck him with
the buggy wheel and sent him kit
ing. The buggy was turned around
quickly and Mrs. Reed thrown heav-
lily to the ground. The pony struck
everything in the yard with the bug
gy and about all that's left Of the
rig that is worth anything, are two
wheels.

ASK GOVERNOR
TO SIGN BILL
QUICKLY
Of Trade Will Send
Committee to Urge Ac-
ton on Dock Bill.

The special committee OF the Board of
Trade having in charge the furtherance OF
the Lane act authorizing the city to ex-
pend 81, 10000 o on improvements along the
Passaic River and Newark Bay meadow
front. will decide late this afternoon to
visit Trenton tomorrow in company with
members of the Board of Works and other
city officials to urge upon Governor Stokes
the necessity of his immediate signature
to the bill so that it nay be submitted to
the will of sthe voters on election day.
City Counsel James r. Nugent has called
attention to the urgency Of immediate
action, having notified Secretary James M.
Reilly, OF the Board of Trade, that If
action was to be taken this election u
would be necessary 10 secure the Gov
ernor's signature not later than tomorrow.
The bill as passed has a referendum clause
and must be voted on. Unless the bill Is
signed tomorrow, Mr.. Nugent declared, 1t
will be a physical impossibility to have
ballots printed containing the referendum

PATROLMEN WANT TO
KNOW THE REASON WHY.
Going to Ask Police Board to Explain
Why Some Members of Force Are
Treated Differently from others.

TIL officers and executive committee Of
the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association
will this week ask the Police Board the
reason why some members Of the depart
ment who are under indictment a been
suspended and others, especially Detective
Sergeant Thomas ]. CORDIALLY, have been
allowed to remain in the department.
The association has been told that the
~offenses against the men suspended were
far more serious than those allowed to
remain in the department. 1t is the pur-
pose of the organization to wait upon
Sheriff Frank II. Sommer TO see If that
be the truth before taking any action
with the Police Board.
II developments warrant counsel will be
employed to gain for suspended policemen
the same standing that CORDIALLY has been
allowed to maintain.
The case of Policeman Thomas Adubato,
who recently resumed his duties after a
two months leave of absence, is another
instance that is puzzling the men. The
board has refused to suspend the police
man, although he has demanded that such
action be taken. He was given the leave
of absence after suspension was refused.
Now the two months are up and he is on
duty nee more.

REVEALS ENDED
CLOSING OUTDOOR SERVICE
WELL ATTENDED.
DR.. Mead Delivered Address on Neces-
sity of Working for Church.
rs Converted.

Between four and five hundred people,
mostly men, braved the biting winds yes
| terday afternoon and stood for an hour in
Military Park during the service that
marked the closing of the o%pen-air revival
services that have been conducted each
Sunday afternoon during the summer. 1t
was Epworth League Day, and all the
members of the various chapters were in
vited to attend as individuals.
While Il special musical program Had
been arranged, this was dispensed with,
on account of the weather conditions, and
only a few hymns were sung. The Rev.
DIR. Charles L. Mead, pastor of the Cen
tenary NJ. e. Church, delivered the adj
dress, his subject being "A Good Soldier
of Jesus Christ, taking his text from st.
Paul's letter to Timothy.
He drew an object lesson from the sol
diers in the army Of the United States, and
then outlined their duties and told why
they should enlist, after which he gave
many reasons why men should enlist in
the armies of the church, and when the
invitation was given twenty-five men who
were standing within hearing of his voice,
by raising of their hands, expressed a de-
sire to enlist in Gods vast army. Con-
siderable interest was manifested In the
address, and it was attentively listened to.
Sidney S. Smith, chairman of the COM
mittee in charge of the arrangements, said
this morning that no collections have been
taken at the services to defray the ex-
penses incidental thereto, the none hav-
ing been raised by private subscriptions.
The largest contributions, he said, had
come from two young women, one a book
keeper and the other an employee in a
local factory. The expenses of each service
has been between $11 and SIS.
Arrangements have already been begun
for resuming the services next season, as
soon as the weather permits.

HOFFMAN IN WEST?
THINK MISSING MAN MAY
HAVE GONE THERE.
Fruitless Search for Newarker Whose
Anxious Wife's Condition
Causes Alarm.

All efforts to locate William d. Hoff-
man, an ice and coal dealer, who dis
appeared a week age tonight, nave
thus far been unavailing, and the
mans whereabouts are as deep a mys-
tery to his family and friends and
those who have been working on the
case as when 1t was first made public.
The last seen of Hoffman by those who
knew him was at Lincoln and Chester
avenues at 1870 o'clock. He said good
night to several fellow members of
Northern Lodge and started down Lin
coin avenue toward the Belleville car
barns.
Members of Northern Lodge, F. and
A. M. of which Hoffman was a member,
interested themselves in the case, and
Constable Christian, of the Sheriff's office,
was engaged to work ON the case and locate
the man, If possible. He ran down seVeral
clues, mostly rumors.
The condition Of Mrs. HOFFMAN, VINO at
tempted suicide last Thursday night by III.
haling Illuminating gas, Is still critical anu
she is under the care Of a physician, anu
a nurse is constantly in attendance. Sne
has not fully recovered from the elIeets
of the gas, and is constantly proodins
over the disappearance of her husband.
Those who are familiar with the case
now believe that Hoffman has gone west.
He is a railroad engineer of many years
experience, and until a few years ago was
amrloved on the Lackawanna Railroad. 1t
is believed that he will seek employment
on one of the roads in the West.
DESPITE the fact that the local police
were the first to be called into the case
and that their aid was sought on Wednes-
day afternoon, friends OF the family as
A 41oA 4ho poIion ba We done nothing
toward solving the mystery. 1t was said
tbis morning by a friend Of the family,
who has done more than any other per
son. that The local police have not turned
a hand. M member Of he force has seen
any of Hoffman's friends, and when seen
at her home, SOB Summer avenue. this
morning Miss May Hoffman, the missing
mans daughter, sad that no policeman
had been to the house or made n single
inquiry over the telephone.
Constable Christian on Saturday night
went to Brooklyn to follow up a clue re-
ceived in a letter from a resident of that
city. This letter stated that a man an
swering in many respects to Hoffman's de-
scription had been met by the writer of
the letter an a Gates avenue trolley ear
on Friday evening. The man was in a
dazed condition and had probably been as
saulted. He claimed that he lived in New
ark and tina he had been robbed of $500.
He was then on his way, the letter said the
man informed the writer, to the home Of a
friend. where his wife was visiting, giving
the address. This. the writer said, might
be an haliucination. Constable Christian
went TO the address in Brooklyn and
found that the man referred to was a resi-
dent of this city, but that he was not
Hoffman. the missing man.
