BROOKS NOMINATION
REGULARLY FILED.
Mixup in Kearny on Democratic Mayor
atty Fight Will Be Put Up
to County Clerk.

AS an aftermath Of the recent Mayoralty
contest at the primaries in Kearny Coun-
Gilman David w. Reid, Republican, of the
Second Ward filed late yesterday with
Town Clerk T. c. Wildman the action of
the Democratic town delegates from the
Second Ward John Durkin and Albert
Kenworthy. indorsing Louis NJ Brock Re-
publican, of the Third Ward, for Mayor
against the regular Republican nominee.
Henry Crookall. The two delegates as>
sembled In what they termed a regular
convention last Tuesday and nominated
Brock Both the delegates filed petitions
previous to the primaries with the clerk
and claim that their action is legal. Town
Clerk Wildman stated this morning that
the document would be sent with the other
nominating papers to the County Clerk for
his decision as to the legality Of the
procedure.
There seems to be general opinion
among observers In politics that the pro-
cedure is irregular and will not stand un-
der the law. One assertion has been made
that the convention was not regular,
and as questioned by the fact that j. j.
Dunn, chairman of the Democratic Town
Committee, has called the town convention
to be held Thursday night In the Town
Hall for the purpose OF making a
Mayoralty nomination.
Those who are in a position to know
said today that the convention would In
dorse Crookall, the Republican nominee.

Within the past twelve months an
increase of 10 to 10 per cent. has been
charged on all suitings used by tailors,
and a corresponding advance has been
made in the cost Of ready-made suits.
According to clothiers in the city, a
suit which could be purchased for SIS
last year sells now for ST. The same
condition prevails in regard to furnish

yesterday. although the percentage of
increase varies. The best grades of
shoes sell for but little. IL any, more
than they did last year. The retailer
pays more for them, however, and the
manufacturers say that the advance Is
| due to the increased cost of leather and
wages. Most Of the manufacturers are
running overtime, however, and have
orders for months ahead, so they are
more or less Independent.
THE cheap grades of shoes, how
ever. have advanced in price from 25 to
40 per cent. There is a shoe we sold
last year at 95 cents,' he said, pointing
to boys shoe; this year we are ask

BRICK BRINGS HUSBAND.
Wife Sends It Through window Of
Elizabeth Saloon Sunday.

ELIZABETH, Sept. 24.-Because she
threw brick through a saloon window
Sunday, thinking that her husband
was inside and believing that might
bring him out, Mrs. Veronica Tomalo-
vich, of 20S Pine street, was before
Judge Mahon yesterday. The com
plainant was Mrs. Jessie Kunze, of 65
Broadway, who owns the saloon prop
erty and wanted s25 damages for the
plate glass window.
''I knew that my husband was inside
the place." Mrs. Tomalovich said to
Judge Mahon. HE spends most of his
time and money there. He gets good
wages, but he leaves them all in the sa-
loon, and the consequences are that l
and the children have to go without
the necessaries of life that my husband
may squander his money there. Every
other method failed, and so, in despera-
tion, l threw the brick through the
window, and 1t brought him out, too"
The complainant declared that the
husband was not in the saloon at the
time If he had been it would have
been in violation of the excise laws.
The judge, while expressing his rity for
the woman, finally decided that she had
no right to take the law into her own
hands and held her for the Grand Jury

while others have gone up.
The good housewife began asking her
marketman questions. She knows there
must be some answer to the riddle, but 1t
is beyond her explanation.
Your retail butcher throws up his hands
and says:
1T is the wholesaler, the packer
The packer says:
"It is the cattle raiser, the ranchman,
who demands high prices for cattle on
the hoof and also. incidentally, the retail
butcher who. taking advantage of the
popular cry against the Meat Trust, is get
ting big profits from the consumer"
The ranchman says:
1T is the packer, who compels the cattle
raiser to stand all the losses incurred in
the condemnation of cattle by exacting
government inspectors.
Thus the responsibility is passed around
the circle. And in the meantime the poor
housewife is completely bewildered. There
is lust one thing in the situation of which
she Is cognizant: Her bills are so high
that she IS compelled to ask her husband
to increase the weekly household allow
ance. And the husbands wages are how
much greater? The answer is a matter fol
each man who works to answer.
