strikers Called out.

The laborers again called strikes on
Monday morning on the police build
ing and the Mills street public school
giving as reason again the presence
of nonunion carpenters although they
had been working with them for the
past two weeks without apparent fric-
tion. Their departure necessarily
caused the masons to quit. Mooney &
Lyons had two men in the places of
the strikers in the afternoon and a
committee Of carpenters, painters and
laborers spent considerable OF their
time there attempting to get the men
away but without success. The car
penters are putting the roof on the
structure and the outside walls would
have been completed except the tower
in day or so.

AT THE RAILROADS MERCY.
Morrlstonians are Fenced in From the
OuCside World by the Companies.

Morristonians are Fenced in From the
Outside World by the Companies.
Several years agosa large part of the
population OF, Morristown derived ben
eft, as well as pleasure from the ex-
cursions which were run under the
auspices of Sunday schools or other
organizations to popular resorts. This
year the Church of the Redeemer and
St. Peters Sunday Schools took the
children to Cranberry Lake and the
Bethel A. M. E, Sunday School adver-
tises trip to the same resort, but
that is all. The Lackawanna will not
take parties to any other place than
Cranberry and charges price to Or
ganizations which leaves no margin of
profit worth talking about, between
the regular and special rates. For two
years past Verona Lake has been
reached via. the Morristown & Erie
r. r. and the Erie to Caldwell, but
this season the Erie went out of the
excursion business entirely, even de-
clining to permit the M. & e. to run
their own train and crew one mile
from Essex Fells to Caldwell with a
pilot.
The result is that breath of salt
air or change of scene at moderate
cost has become an impossibility. We
hear the cry, wait till the trolleys
come and then we can ride, but Nor
ristown is not located in Newark, and
again the seashore is cut out and it is
the change to salt air and entirely diff
ferent conditions which is desired.
Again the railroads are regulating
what amusements towns along their
lines shall have. The big Forepaugh
Show and the w. L. Main Circus, both
wanted to come to Morristown this
year, but the Lackawanna said no and
consequently the small boy and larger
ones two for that matter has lost the
sight of the elephant and other acces-
Sories which belong to the circus un-
less he could raise the price of regu-
lar railroad fare to some town where
the companies would take the circuses
and the business men have lost the ex-
ira profit of circus day.
The Lackawanna has also announced
that it will not locate industries on
this line and will not give added pass
enger accommodation to the Boonton
Branch because of the freight traffic
on that division.
Where is it all going to end.

warden Hayes Resigns.

William p. Hayes, Warden at the
Trenton State Hospital, resigned his
position last week, after it had been
made plain to him by the managers
that he must retire because. of his re-
sponsibility for the disgraceful condi-
tions at the institution revealed before
the Hahn committee. No other out
come was possible, in spite of the eff
forts made to save him. 1t has been
shown that while the epidemic of ty-
poid fever had existed for nearly three
months, Hayes left the hospital for a
pleasure trip early in July, and re-
turned to his duty only when sum-
moned back by the managers.
DR.. P. p Rafferty,, Of Red Bank, who
was placed in charge of the medical
department. of the hospital, says he
will not accept Of the position perma-
nently. He is managing the institu-
tion by telephone from Red Bank, with
frequent visits.

"A SERIOUS SHOOTING ACCIDENT
Arthur Mcvay Shot Accidentally by
Clarence sisco.

@AN1~O
Arthur McVay, the ten-year-old son
of Mrs. Augustus McVay, OF Walnut
street, CollinsviIle. is in the Morris
town Memorial Hospital suffering from
a bullet in his abdomen, the result OF
an accident on Saturday afternoon.
McVay was out with Clarence Sisco in
the orchard on the sand pit tract over
in Hanover township. Sisco was car
rying fobert rifle and in STOPPING to
pick up an apple either dropped the
gun or in moving it from one hand to
the other it Twas discharged, the bullet
piercing the abdomen of McVay, who
was following.
Young Sisco Immediately procured a
rig and took his injured companion to
the hospital, where later on an opera
tion was performed to remove the bull
let. 1t could not be found, but as far
as far as the physicians could learn no
particular damage had been done to
the boy.
The affair seems to be purely an ac-
cident, the two boys directly interest
ed, as well as two Italian boys who
were in the neighorhood, agreeing as
to most Of the particulars. Sisco is
the young man who was found respon-
sible by coroner's jury for the death
of Edgar Carr some months ago but
was not indicted.

JUSTICE PITNEY'S OPINION
In the Railroad Tax Cases Considered
as one of the Ablest on the Subject

In the Railroad Tax Cases Considered
as one of the AbIest on the subject.
The Sunday Call says: Lawyers
consider Justice Mahlon Pitney's opin-
ion in the railroad tax cases to be very
able, and agree that it ranks among
the best discussions Of the subject in
the books. This would mean a great
deal, for the railroad tax question has
been almost constantly litigated for
the last thirty years and cases have
gone to the United States Supreme
Court constantly. Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Illinois, California and other
Western States are prolific of legal dis
cussion of the subject. Nearly all of
the newer States have constitutional
provisions regarding general rules for
taxation much like our own, but the
relations of the railroads to the State
and their legal status generally have
been quite different in New Jersey.
Justice Pitney will no doubt be quoted
as an authority all over the Union
hereafter in this branch of law.
E That the Judge was inspired to
give his very highest endeayors to the
decision and the preparation of his
opinion was quite natural. Not only
was the case of surprising Importance
to the State and of legal interest eve
rywhere but the argument had been
conducted with very great ability.
Attorney General Robert H. McCarter
had associated with him former JUS
tice Bennett Van Syckel and John r.
Hardin and the three presented a mar
velously thorough discussion of the
subject to the Court, while the argu-
ments of Richard ". Lindabury and
William FL. Corbin for the railroads
were lauded as among the ablest these
distinguished lawyers have ever made
Such cases are a delight to able
lawyers. There is no dispute as tc
facts, and the discussion is entirely as
to precedent and upon the principles
of the law and of government. These
arguments require great study an6
care and logical minds, but they atfort
the lawyer his greatest intellectual en-
joyment.

WORK ON THE TROLLEY LINE
Material Slowly Arriving Widening
of speedwell Avenue.

Material Slowly Arriving-w widening
of Speedwell Avenue.
The trolley company has rails laid
about to the Lidgerwood entrance on
the north hill at Speedwell. Two
track jacks, some of the iron tie rods
and the bonding press have all arrived
within few days and the gang has
suspended tearing up the street tenn
porarily to raise the tracks to the
proper level ballast the ties and bond
the joints of the rails, When this is
done the street can be restored to it's
proper grade.
Twenty-Five more poles have arrived
and been put together and will be set
UP along the street at once. The
widening of the street has progressed
to the residence of e. III. Woodruff and
the stakes driven show that the street
includes about half of what is now
used as a sidewalk for considerable
distance. A number of trees are grow
ing in what should be the gutter.
A suggestion has been made by a
number Of people that the trolley peo-
pie can facilitate the realization of
trolleys in Morristown by building the
one track on which the men are now
employed through to the park and be-
gin operations over it with one car
while the second tract is being laid
Such a result could probably be at
tanned in about two months.

THE BANKS
HIS VICTIMS
Lanning in Jail and His Forge
RES stated to reach More
than $4,000
LOSSES DUE TO STOCK DEALS


George M. Lanning, postmaster and
president Of the board of education Of
Florham Park borough, was arrested
in Newark on Thursday afternoon
charged with forgery. He was taken
to the police headquarters station and
it was not possible to arrange bail,
consequently he spent the night be-
hind the bars.
About two years ago Lanning took
two notes to the Federal Trust Co. of
Newark aad had them discounted.
They purported to be made by the
borough of Florham Park and were
signed by Carnot B. Meeker as Mayor
and Howard e. Young as borough
clerk and by Lanning in bis official
capacity. One was for $4,000 and the
other for $4,000. They we're duly dis
counted and from time to time have
been renewed and the discount paid.
The interest fell behind few days
ago and the trust company officials
notified Mr.. Meeker of the fact. He
went to Newark on Thursday and
pronounced the notes to be forgeries
and without any authorization on the
part of the borough. Lanning was
sent for at once and on his arrival at
the banking house was put under ar
rest by detectives.
After the news of Lanning's arrest
became public, other institutions be-
gan to look after their interests. The
First National Bank found that it had
notes to the amount of of S12, 800, some
of which had been carried for four or
five years President Vernam stated
that the bank was stuck to the amount
named, but said that the large surplus
was ample to cover the deficiency and
the notes had been charged to profit
and loss. The Bernardsville Bank had
discounted the paper UP to the amount
of $3.50. This institution has only
S25, 900 capital and a small surplus. and
many expressions of sympathy were
heard for the stockholders of the insti-
tuition.
Among the banks which have had
dealings with Lanning is the Orange
National 1t has filed an attachment
against him for S9,139.67. Another
attachment has been filed by the First
National Bank of Morristown for SILL
900, with the Bernardsville National
Bank as an adjointed creditor for 49,
$50. Still other financial institutions
which are said to bave suffered are the
Commercial Trust Company of Jersey
City, which bought notes amounting
to about $4,000. and the Etna Ma
tional Bank Of New York, which is
reported to have discounted $4,000 of
Lanning's paper.
Lanning has not stated what he did
with the money he secured, but it is
supposed that he lost it on Wall street.
In addition, it has been learned that
he secured a mortgage for $4,000 on
some of his property in March, 1905,
and in 1904 had secured $1,000 in the
same manner. He is yet in jail in
Newark, having been unable secure
anybody to go his bail.
u. S. District Attorney Vreeland
has notified the postoffice department.
of the condition of affairs for the pur-
pose of having the office inspected and
some one placed in charge. Mr.. Vree-
land is Lanning's counsel.

Reported ON plsoovery.

Excitement has been created in the
city Of Scranton and across the Della
