rarely done in charges of this grave

THREE MORE GET OUT
JUNIOR ORDER COUNCILS
WITHDRAW.
Equal Rights, of Newark, One of Them.
Result of Grievance Against Funeral
Benefit Association.

The fight of the New Jersey councils,
Junior Order United American Mechan-
les, against the Funeral Benefit AS
scciation of the United States, of
Philadelphia, an insurance branch of
the order, reached an interesting stage
yesterday when three more councils
severed their connection with the as
ISOLATION. These councils are Atlantic,
of Point Pleasant; Warren, of Wash
ington, and Equal Rights, of this city.
The trouble between the councils and
the management of the benefit ~associa-
ton is the result of a dispute over the
payment of a death claim held by
Marcus l.. Ward Council, of this city,
and later when the members of Ward
Council began it's fight to collect the
claim the benefit association, it is al
legged. refused the payment of another
death claim Of $3.50 without assigning
definite easons. The two claims
against the benefit association,
amounting to $3.50, have been taken to
Philadelphia and suit has been insti-
tuted in the Court of Common Pleas
of that city. The case will come up
early next month.
The failure to pay the Ward Council
claims, coupled with alleged error In
the management of the association and
trouble with Osceola and Irvington
Councils, have led to the withdrawal
of many councils throughout the State
and a consequent big loss to the as
sociation.
The following Newark councils with
drew some time ago: Marcus L. Ward,
Halsey, Newark, Fraternity, Adams,
Phelps, Hobart, Custer, East End and
others. Many councils in Atlantic, Ber-
gen, Burlington, Hudson, Union, Mer-
Ger, Passaic, Warren and Morris Coun-
ties are also taking steps to withdraw,
The attack on the Funeral Benefit
Association has the active support of
State Councillor Sharp, of Irvington
Council, who had a similar rejected
claim against it In 1906, winning the
case on appeal. There are approx
mately $4,000 Junior Mechanics in New
Jersey, of whom more than 1000 were
insured in the benefit association.
Nearly half of these have already Sc
coded.

AUTUMN WEATHER HERE
TO STAY FOR A WHILE.
Damage Done by Last Rain Storm in
Newark and Its Neighbour
hood Slight,

The sun has crossed the equatorial least
the almanac says that 1t did yesterday
afternoon at 4 o'clock. The equinoXial
storm has spent itself and this Is fall, both
officially and climatically, for the tenn
p~erature at 7 o'clock this morning, the
first really clear dawn In two weeks, was
IS degrees.
1t was pleasant and clear yesterday until
a few minutes after the scheduled crossing
Of the imaginary line several Thousand
miles south of these regions, but about that
time the sky began to cut up apers and
numerous rolling black clouds in the west
gave unmistakable Indications that there
would soon be something doing in the
storm line, and there was. The wind blew
caught without umbrellas scurried for
shelter. Doorways and Hobbies were crowd
ed, while hundreds of women decided to
SHOP" and the department stores were
suddenly crowded and the patient sales
women were pestered for an hour or so.
Hundreds Of samples were carried home as
trophies.
The downpour was almost incessant for
an hour, and three inches of water fell
during the day. The clouds broke away
and the sidewalks dried off. leaving clean
streets ms a result Of the storm. The wind
was not unusually heavy, and few trees
and fences and ramshackle buildings suf-
fered. One tree in Military Park was split
down the centre, and a few stray branche
were left In the storms wake in various
parts of the city.
Probably the most damage was done to
the huts of the Succoth feast, being OBJ
served by the orthodox Hebrews through
out the country. In the Hebrew sections
of the city hundreds of such structures
of brush and straw had been erected
in rear wards and on roofs.
The Essex County Fair grounds at
Olympic Park also suffered. Many Of
the tents remaining unscathed by the
storm Of the previous night, and some Of
those that had been raised after being
blown down, were again caught by the
winds and fell in a water-soaked heap.
and not a few of the animals and fowls
being exhibited were again liberated,
causing no end of trouble to the attend
ants.
During tho past few days the attend
ance has been exceptionally light, but
present indications point to clear weather
for the rest of the week. and the manage
ment hopes to welcome large crowds both
afternoons and evenings.
Weather indications as HANDED out by
the local weather bureau promise clear
and cool weather for the mex twenty
four hours.
A special dispatch from Washington to
the weather bureau in this city this morn
ing. states that a frost Is slated for this
tonight. The special was sent in
to give farmers and owners of
beds an opportunity TO get their
goods under cover before Jack makes his
initial appearance this year.

PREDICT FIGHT
WITH JAPAN
IN FUTURE
Russians Comment on Fleets
Pacific Trip S. Preparing
to Receive Taft.

ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 25.-secre-
tary Taft's our of the world is being
followed with unusual interest here.
The government is taking measures to
surround his journey through Siberia
and European Russia with attentions
usually reserved for the rulers Of
states, and the press is busily speculat-
ing on the likelihood and advantages
of a Russo-American convention, the
object of Mr.. Taft's visit to Russia
being, it is alleged, to negotiate an
agreement between the United States
and Russia.
The conviction prevails here that war
between Japan and the United States
is inevitable in the distant future. The
Noyoe Vremya today publishes an
article entitled THE New World
Power %picturing the marvellous
growth of America as a sea power
during President Roosevelt's admins
t%ration, warning Russian diplomacy
mot to be caught by COM
ing events" and adding:
The day when the United States
fleet passes gu of the Strait of Magel-
Ian and sweeps proudly into the waters
of the Pacific will open a new era for
the eastern world. Official courtesies
and the temporary lull in war talk
do not conceal the fact that America
is reaching out for the mastery of the
Pacific and already is strong enough
to attain it.
She entered the ace for it in the
spring of 1903, when Congress voted
the navy bill and the Panama bill,
both essential to the object in view.
Without any noise except the cease
less rumble of machinery, the mighty
nation succeeded in forging a sea
power, already including twenty-five
battleships. and having its docks
crowded with many more war vessels.
The American people are not lured by
the glamor of mere display. Their pur-
poses are deeper. Kindred of England,
the Americans creed is that m
follows the flag. Her object is incom-
patible with mere desire for trade In
Far East. England won the throne
of the Atlantic from Spain. Holland
and France. America is about to chal-
lenge her rival for the throne of the
Pacific

BERNS ARRESTED
HARRISON SALOONKEEPER
IN THE TOLLS.
Held in $500 Bail for Keeping Disor-
Derby Place-Prosecutor's Man, Ar
rested by Policeman, Let Go.

Mystery connected with an arrest made
by Policeman Dolan, of Harrison, yester-
day afternoon, when he nabbed a stranger
in John Berns's saloon at North Fourth
street and Central avenue, Harrison, who
was engaged in a fight and flourishing a
revolver, was solved today when it turned
out that the prisoner, who was subse-
quently released. was employed by the
Hudson County prosecutor to get evidence
against Berns's place. The matter was
further cleared when Berns was arrested
today on a charge of keeping n disorderly
house in that he allowed gambling there.
and placed under $500 bonds.
At the police station yesterday the man
arrested refused to give his name or ad-
dress. saying that Prosecutor Speer. of
County, knew him. He was locked
up, however, and later on was released.
Yesterday afternoon Dolan was off duty.
and with a friend stepped into Berns's sa-
loon and had just gotten inside when n row
started In a back room at q table AT which,
he alleges were seated Deputy Revenue
Collector Joseph Cavanaugh, Of this city.
and two men named Reinhard and Sui
Ivan. The stranger was standing near and
he apparently started the fight, says the
policeman. In a moment he had pulled a
revolver and covered the others with II.
according 10 Dolan. The latter disarmed
the man after a struggle and arrested him.
Several blows were struck in the melee and
Cavanaugh was hit, II is said.
When Dolan visited Prosecutor Speer
today he nrst saw the assistant prose-
cutor, Vickers, and he called in Speer.
Hel alleges that while telling the latter
about the occurrence. Vickers interrupted
to say that Dolan was not telling the
same story as ne told him. Dolan de-
Tended himself and then Speer ordered
him from the office. The man whom Do
Ian had arrested was present, but said
nothing during the interview.
Policeman Duffy. of Harrison, who
happened to be present on another case,
ATTEMPTED to corroborate Dolan. and Speer
ordered him from the office on pain of
being locked up.
Speer told Dolan, so the latter says, that
gambling was going on in Berns's place.
and tina the Harrison police were no good
or else they would have stopped It.
