that the bill would be amended so that the
expenditure of money should be at the
discretion of the Common Council, which
has general charge OF the finances OF the
city.

In favor of the provisions of the law, it
was on the supposition hat the amend-

maintenance Of our schools. Where is this
to end? shall have to vote no."
Alderman p. G. Meyer said that he had
intended to vote for the propositions sub
mission to the people, and would do so,
although he saw that the plan was larger
than he supposed. Alderman Adolph Holz-
ner drew a parallel between the purchase
of the Pequannock watershed and the
nresent proposed expenditure. 1t was a
hje thing. but must go through, he said.
Alderman Ryan remarked that the
BOARD OF Trade was in favor of the i'm
and said that the money
snent would be returned in taxes very
soon. Alderman A1bert H.. Biertuempfel,
as a Newark manufacturer, spoke OF
the need of docks for ships.

of spending 81 600, 900 for Il light plant. We
couldn't raise .S3,00O,000 for this or any

al hope that il this is passed, the Com
mon Council will next year see to IL that
the law is amended so that the power to

airy in the Council. A million dollars is
too much money to be spent by a board
particularly Interested In one proposition.
The finance committee of the Council has
to look over the whole city and take all
things into consideration In spending
money"
The general attitude in the Council was
that Mr.. Martins stand was well taken,
but that the proposition should be put up
to the people and left for them to settle.
President John f. Sinnott In explaining
his affirmative vote said that the stand Of
Mr.. Martin had been well taken and his
remarks well put. This is an evil that
has long been recognized" he went on,

incidentally, the president said that the
improvement of the meadows and the
water front would solve the problem of

The conclusion of the coroner's jury at
ogden and the warrant issued there for
the arrest of Edward Lawrence and Fred
c. Walker on a charge of murder, came
Just a week from the time of the attack
on Beers, and just four weeks from the
day when Beers met Mrs. Walker.
The case is said TO be without an exact
parallel in the records of crimes of the
kind in the United States. The word
crimes is perhaps an unwarranted one in
Walkers case, on account of the 'un-
written law" statute in this state. Law
rence's case is interesting from the fact
that on the evidence up to date, if a dou-
bic assault is proved, he is in greater
danger Of punishment than Walker. who
can plead with great deal of evidence
to support him unsuitable homicide be-
cause Beers ruined his home.
The swing of the evidence to date jus
titles the non-committal verdict of the
coroner's jury. That the verdict did not
specify that Instruments other than fists
were used or that Lawrence took part
In the fight as well as Walker is in Law
rence's favor. If at the trial Walker can
show, what is generally conceded, namely
that Beers associations with his wife
were OF an intimate character he has.
under the statutes, the right to Kill
Beers either with or without a monkey
wrench or other instrument The states
case against Walker is clearly to dis
prove criminal relation between Beers and
Mrs Walker.
The case against Lawrence Is to prove
that he mixed in the fight with his. fists
or with another weapon. If the teSu-
mOny of the employees who were in the
front room at the store while the fight
was going on in the back room is un-
changed at the trial from that given at
the inquest, the discovery of the missing
Hulls, Will be the only evidence the state
can get along this line aside from the
statement which Matron Edwards of the
hospital attributed to Beers, that there
were two men who attacked him.
Where Are the hulIs?
The whereabouts of the HuIls is an alb
solute mystery. Mrs. Hull and her daugh-
ter were over the store when the row oc-
Cured There are many ways by which
they could have heard almost the entire
conversation preceding the fight and the
cries and imprecdtiOns throughout the Oc-
currence which were only a confused muir
muir in the next room, where the boys
were sitting in the office. According to
the testimony of Policeman Powers he
very soon after the fight began. They
| left Ogden almost before it was over and
have not been heard from since. Hull was
a bill clerk in the Union Pacific railway
| office in this city and in Ogden. He is
thought to have gone to Reno. Just why
they should remain silent with the news

| to clear up an alleged murder mystery is
not apparent.
| As to interference in the fight by Law
renee the evidence aside from what that

/ elusive. Beers was a stronger man than
