OUTING BALANCE
COMMITTEE MAKES
RECORD.
Cared for 1875 Children at city's Camp
at Avon-Did It's Work During
Summer with $4,000.

An agreeable discovery was made last
night by the member of the aldermanic
outing committee, when they met and read
the report of City Auditor George For1man,
which showed that there was a balance in
favor of the committee amounting to S65.93.
The members of the outing committee re-
called that they surpassed all previous
efforts in entertaining Newarkers at the
city camp at Avon-by-the-Sea.
Last summer there were 6s6 girls, $40
boys and 20 women who enjoyed a weeks
vacation. and while the outing committee
did not stint itself in affording pleasure for
the guests, yet the members feel proud that
the money appropriated for this object was
used wisely.
Chairman George w. Frey presented
bis report and 1t was unanimously APP
proved, setting forth as it did in few
words what had been accomplished.
In discussing the eport, Alderman Frey
let 1t be known that a sad hole had been
made in the balance shown by the Au-
ditor.
He said that he had sent $40 to DIR.
u. w. Barber, who had worked tirelessly
for the committee and refused to render
a bill. DIR. Barber examined most OF the
youngsters who went to the city camp
before they were permitted to go, and
kept many at home who might have car
ried disease into the IN of Newark's
little guests.
lhen there had been a payment since the
Auditor had issued the report of something
u K IS foc housing the windmill fo- the
winter. 1t was voted to give the remain
ing sum to William Green, vino had been
persuaded to move into the farm house a.
the camp and care for the place during tie
winter. 1t was later decided. however, that
1t wouldn't do to give the money AVA in
a hurry, because the committee felt thas
there should be an inspection to ascertain
If all is in proper order at the camp for
the winter. The COMMITTEES will go down
on Monday. 1t is expected that a little
less than $50 will remain utter the trip
and that is what Green will get for bid
rare-.aking during the winter.
The committee received 5000 from the
Common Council to carry on its work as
provided in the law passed through the
efforts of former Mayor Henry NJ. Dore-
mus. In addition to that, potatoes from
the camp garden were sold for 1880, so
that the total income for maintenance
was S5,013.50. OF that $706.03 went for
payroll, s1.16s for transportation, S2,14S. IS
for food supplies, $315.2S for household
supplies, S125.06 for general supplies. and
1892 for miscellaneous expenses, all but
$66 of which were itemized.
There were votes of thanks for Miss
Quigley, matron of the camp: Miss Dunbar,
who supervised the selection of the chill
dren sent to the camp: Alderman John A.
Estelle, of the committee for getting the
telephone company to make no stated
charge for the phone, and many others.

BARS DRINKERS; DOESN'T
OBJECT TO DIVORCES.
Former Trenton Baptist Minister Great
ing Stir in Rich Pennsyl-
Yania Parish,

FRANKLIN. Pa, Dec. 1.-THE Rev. DR..
Maurice Penfield Fixes, pastor of the First
Baptist Church In this city, is creating a
sensation by his drastic handling of the
temperance question.
Last Sunday he declared that it was his
avowed intention to drop from the roll of
the church over which he presides every
man who went into a saloon. hotel or drug
store TO buy a drink of liquor.
The town of Frankli is practically gov
erned by General Charles Miller, a million
aire, who formerly commanded the Penn
~sylvania National Guard. He owns nearly
all the valuable property In the place, and
from his own purse built a fine church, of
which DIR. Fixes has been pastor several
years, having come here from Trenton,
N. j. The salary is $1,000.
General Miller is heartily in accord with
the temperance ideas of DIR. Fixes, and
says he will stand by him in his crusade.
Several years ago, when General Miller re-
married after obtaining a divorce from his
first wife, he took his bride to Europe on
a wedding trip, and DIR. Fixes went along
as his guest.

FULL PAY FOR
ELECTION
OFFICERS
Decision in Jersey City
Test Case FavOrs Them;
GET $50 for Work.
Especial to Tic evening star.l

JERSEY CITY, Dec. ia question
of interest TO election officers in Hud-
son and other counties was decided to-
day by Judge Charles Carrick. sitting
in the First District Court. in the City
Hall. 1t was the compensation of cleo
ton officers.
Money has been provided by the
Board of Freeholders for each munich
pality to pay its election officers. at
the rate of S25 for their services on
election day. primary day and two reg
istry days. The election officers claimed
that primary day was an election day
and that. therefore, they were entitled
to $40 for their services instead of IS,
which is their pay for a registry day.
To test the law Fred Crawford. an
election officer, of the Eleventh Ward,
refused to accept a warrant for $25
and started suit in the First District
Court against the mayor and aldermen
of Jersey City. Tumulty and Cutley
appeared as counsel for Crawford.
Judge Carrick had Cutley submit a
brief.
After considering the legal points in
volved Judge Carrick handed down a
decision that an election officer should
receive $50. and he gave judgment in
Crawford's favor for that amount.
This test case will settle several 9TH
ers that are in preparation. The city
will have to demand more money from
the county to meet the claims.

CHICAGO, Nay 4.-The Cook
county grand jury, which has been
probing into Chicago's political cor
ruption, returned its report today.
Five of former Mayor DUNES po-
litical lieutenants were indicted, two
bills being returned against former
Chief of Police Collins, former Po-
lice Attorney Cummerford, former
Public Works Commissioner Will
lam /. O'COnnell, former Purchas-
ing Agent Edmund K. Roche, and
Detectives James McGrath and
James McNulty.
Gaping the sensation was a
statement from members of the
grand jury that when full disclosures
of bribery and corruption are made
public, the record will pale TO inSig-
nificance the shame of St. Louis,
Cincinnati, San Francisco, and Phil
adelphia. Members of the grand
jury declare that for years Chicago
has been in The clutches of the most
corrupt political machine in the
United States.
Municipal ownership"
they say, has been mere
ly a mask for the civic
-rOttenneSS which has eat
en- like a cancer into the

The charges against the indicted
men are conspiring TO dsfraud the
city by using its police force for the
collection OF campaign contributions:
other political dirty work during the
recent elections. violations Of the civil
service laws; collecting brides from
law violators. and mutilatinE and de-
strOying police records.
Collins is indicted on three counts. two
of which make him liable 10 fines OF
s2eoO and Imprisonment from one to ten
years Roche and OConnsu and the
two detectives are liable TO the same
fines and Imprisonment.
levied S5e,eoO Tribute
It is said that the men who had charge
OF Mayor DUNES campaign collected Al
least $4,000 from the police force, and the

amounts collected from saloons and dis
orderly places. This phase of the in
vestigation VIII be taken Up later to-
gether with cases that have been left
unfinished by the present grand jury.
According to one member Of the grand
jury tonight. no dive keeper or violator
