WILL PLEASE LABOR
ESSEX TRADES WANT V0T-
ING MACHINES TO GO.
Assemblyman Mead's Prediction Re-
ceived with Observation-Disclosures
Like Lees Bill.

Assemblyman Thomas j. Mead told
members of the Essex Trades Council last
night that he believed voting machines
would be abolished, as the House late yes
terday passed a bill looking to that end.
The prediction met with the hearty rati-
hcation of the. member of the council. as
evidenced by the applause when the AS
semblman made the statement.
The Essex Tlades Council is On record as
icing opposed to the voting machines. as
it Is claimed by organized labor men that
they can be manipulated so as to destroy
the will of the voter.
Assemblyman Mead told members at the
Trades Council meeting that any effort on
the part of the Senate to combine the
offices of the bureau of labor and statistics
would be defeated by the Assembly, as
the majority of the Assemblymen were un-
alterably opposed to matchmaking the
two bureaus, as it was claimed that the
best results would not be obtained by such
a move.
job II. Wallace, as chairman of the
legislative committee, also pleased the
delegates by stating Tint a bill had been
introduced by Senator Lee which would
give every municipality in the State the
right to regulate the sale of liquor on
Sundays, If they so desired. 1t was real
lied that If such a bill RS that was passed
1t would wipe out the Bishops law en-
tirely.
George A. Leary. representing the Buff
ers and Polishers' Union, reported that
the Lockwood Coach Lamp Company had
discharged all of their non-union polish
ers and reemployed all their old union
men. and had also agreed to give the
union an increase of 81 a week over what
they had been receiving when they went
on strike, four years ago.
A strong plea was made by the Retail
Grocery Clerks Association to have a
grocery firm open a store In Orange which
was not opposed to organized labor, and
| also assist the clerks in getting shorter
hours in stores that do not grant them
now.
The council accepted an invitation to at
tend n reception that is to be given to-
night to the delegates who attended the
seventh annual convention of the Amalga-
mated Leather Workers Union. The re-
ception will be held at Essex Hall, Bank
and Rutgers streets.

ASKS FOR PLANS
NEEDED F0R INSPECTION AT
OVERLOOK.
Matters Concerning Much-Discussed Hos
pital, Before Freeholders' Committee.
Eaton a Busy Man.

Freebooter Edward c.. Eaton, as chairman
of the committee on public buildings of the
Board of Freeholders. had the bulk of the
business growing out of that committees
meeting late yesterday afternoon placed
upon his shoulders for action. Some of 1t
had been delayed because of the unfortu-
nate condition of his predecessor, Free
holder John cusack, and nearly all of 1t
related to the affairs of the m~uch-investi-
etc, from its branch line running to Over
brook.
Among the matters referred TO the chair
man was a communication from II. Bart
lett. the clerk of works at Overlook, who
asked for the plans necessary to carry on
the inspection that the board recently de-
cided on and a room for housing the plans
and the men at work upon them. Another
communication so referred was from Hurd
& Sutton, architects of the building. who
wrote that the time was ripe for taking up
the question of fire hydrants and sewage
disposal, while they called attention to the
fact in another communication that the
Erie Railroad Company had not yet placed
the switch or siding on the premises needed
for the transportation of the generators,
etc, from its branch line running to Ovor-
brook.
In anOtner letter Ine dfcnlteclS aSkeu
to change the plans of the
ground cells in the jail rebuilding, which
would make a saving of $217.62 to the
county, and this, together with a requisi-
ton for two typewriter machines from
Surrogate George L. Russell, was also
referred to the good natured chairman,
who remarked jocularly hat If he was
burdened with any more letters he would
need a secretary. He promised to attend
to everything early next week.
A request for two porters for the Court
House was made by John j. Bolan, its
superintendent, and was allowed.

INNOCENT MAN FLED
BANK MESSENGER, ROBBED,
BECAME FUGITIVE.
Pickpocket Returns Securities Amount
ing to $34,71s, and Man Thought
Guilty Is Thereby Absolved.

NEW YORK, July 6.-Inspectors of
the United States Guarantee Company
are searching for H. j. Wilson to re-
deem him in spite of himself, for Will
son ran away from his responsibilities
and let himself be classed as a bank
robber when, in fact, he was the one
robbed.
Wilson, described as a plain, plod-
ding man of As years, was recently en-
ployed by the First National Bank, of
1 Wall street, as a messenger. He
disappeared last Monday after making
collections aggregating a little more
than $50, 900. On Tuesday the bank re-
ceived a bulky envelope. containing
s34, 71S in checks and drafts. There
was no accompanying explanation, but
the bank soon ascertained that 1t was
the bulk of Wilson'S collections.
Then a friend received a pitiful let
ter from Wilson, in which he recited
that after making his collections. and
while on a street car, a ~pickpocket
had relieved him of the banks checks
and money, and that, mortified, with
shame and possessed with the fear
that the bank officials would believe
him a thief, he had determined to dis
appear until he could make up his
mind just what he ought to do.
Investigation by the bank revealed
the probable truth of Wilson's story,
and also developed the fact that the
pickpocket secured $1,71 in cash. The
thief, as is often done in such cases,
had returned the checks and drafts,
as they were useless to him.
Now that the truth is known the
bank officials hope Wilson will pluck
up courage and return.

o Bieberstein, while Affirming that
Germany had always favored the aboli-
ton of the principle. pointed out that
the question involved those of contra

needed definition before the other could
be settled.
Great Britain, Russia. France and
Portugal opposed the proposal on vari-
u grounds, and a vote, If one had
been taken, would have killed It. NJ.
Bourgeois, however. suggested an ad-
journment, and the d~bate was post

EHss, Of Linn, On the System.

4 medical scientist is authority
for the statement that children and
old people especially suffer from a
lack of lime in the system. Persons
who habitually drink soft water,
while they NAV enjoy immunity
from certain Of the ills of life. ex-
pose themselves to Others perhaps
quite ~ much to be avoided. Hard
water helps the teeth and the bones
by furnishing lime, which is neces-
sary to health, growth and develop
ment. Old persons who drink but
little lose their teeth more quickly
than those who take a reasonable
amount of drinking water. Lime
or food products in which il
il abounds should be a part Of the
regular supply furnished to the sys-
tenn.
