HALT SENATE
PROBE, SAYS
GRIFFIN
Unfair to Keep Politicians
Ont Of Campaign Fight,
lie Argues.
Especial to the Evening start

JERSEY CITY, Oct. 23.-County
Counsel John Griffin sprang a surprise
at the Bradley Senate investigating
committee here today when 1t esumed
its probe of the Hudson Freeholders'
affairs by asking an adjournment OF
the inquiry until after election, be-
cause, he stated, it was unfair to sum-
mon Democrats, day after day, when
they wanted to be taking part in the
campaign.
He also advanced a second reason
for the postpoement, claiming that11is
legal work for the county would suffer
If the investigation continues now.
There was a small audience when the
investigation resumed today.
Rumor had 1t that Harrison Van Duyne,
engaged by the committee to ascertain
the actual cost of the Paterson plank road,
had found that about 1,500 feet OF sewer
pipe charged for was not laid. That, at
an average cost OF So per foot. would
mean $500. This was on the third section
of the road, and Engineer Eugene Smith
and Contractor Edward P. O'Neil were
present to explain the alleged discrepancy.
Smith, by referring to the maps of the
work, showed the entire pipe had been
laid, but he admitted that his own private
records showing where the extra work
had been ordered, were destroyed. This,
the witness said, had always been his GUS
tom, as he did not keep memoranda more
than two years after work was completed.

THE plain truth Is that almost any

through books and also THAT the cock

less damage TO books, and the reason why
the insects are not more frequently caught

W0MAN'S STORY OF
ALLEGED ACTIONS.

he called there to collect money on a sew
ing machine.
Mrs. Kane made the complaint last week,
and in her sworn statement she averred
that Zeits twisted her left arm so that ii
was broken in three places when she re-
fused to let him tax the machine.
Zeitz denied the allegation in court to-
day. and then a complaint was made out
against him for disorderly conduct by Mrs.
Kane. Her testimony was corroborated by
a young girl, who said she was at the
house at the time Zeitz appeared. Zeitz
denied any intention of acting in a dis
orderly manner, and If he did 1t was UNI
intentional, he said.
Judge Howell said: ''Your wife and mine
are now alone at our homes and at the
mercy of any bulldog agent who may call.

and then there would be no necessity for
such action as this. I find you guilty as

Jail for ninety days"
Zeitz had to remain at the station house
for several hours until friends got the
money to pay the fine and costs, which
amounted to $50 all told.
A representative of the concern employ
ing Zeitz declared today that their agent
was held in high regard and thought that
the circumstances did not warrant the

Joss STICKS.
The Part They Play in Buddhist oere-
monies.

In all countries where Buddhist worship
is celebrated there is a great consumption
of loss sticks" The ceremonial candles
are lighted on occasions of festivity or
mourning, praye or Thanksgiving to
divinities, and the like. Joss sticks are at
once candles and incense, since, like the
latter, they burn without apparent flame.
Their preparation is shrouded in some
mystery, says the Chicago News, and the
process is still practically unknown. those
who carry it on being chosen from a
special class and kept in rigorous seclu-
sion.
A squared strip of bamboo. of varying
length and thickness, according to the size
of joss stick that is to be made, is skilfully
rolled on an inclined surface, in a mixture
of odoriferous powders agglutinated by
resin, made viscous by slight elevation of
temperature. One of the ends is left as
II is. to serve as a handle. In some cases
the bamboo is replaced with a flexible rod,
which enables the joss stick to be rolled
in spiral form.
The composition of the odoriferous pow
ders varies with the country; those used In
Indo-China come generally from the
province of Canton, and include fourteen
different drugs, among which may be
named camphor. saAdalwood, aconite and
Glove. Aconite plays the part OF preserva-
tive and protects the joss sticks well
against the attacks of rats and mice,
