WANTS
SAY ABOUT
BONDS
Finance Committee Requests
Legislature to Amend
Ship Canal Bill.

On motion of Alderman William P.
Martin the finance committee of the
Common Council last night decided to
instruct the legislative committee of
the Council to see If the Legislature
will not amend the bill referred to the
Senate committee yesterday providing
for a ship canal, the amendment pro-
posed being to empower the Common
Council to issue s5O0,0oO worth of bonds
for the work, the issuance of the bonds
being discretionary with the alder
manic body. The bill has already been
passed by the House and went to the
upper body yesterday, where 1t was
referred to a committee.
In its present state the bill em-
powers the Board of Works to call
upon the Common Council for bonds
for the ship canal work, and gives the
latter body no say as to whether the
bonds shall be issued or not, although
the Council under the bill as it stands
at present will have to issue the bonds
and be responsible for their payment.
This the finance committee of the
aldermanic body thinks is unfair, and
no efforts will be spared to have the
bill amended.
1.-The trouble with our municipal govern"
ment now is that we have not been given
enough authority said the Alderman
I'VE are held responsible for the city
finances, yet in many things, like the
schools and the library. we have no discre-
tionary power. Under the terms of this
bill as it now stands, should the Common
Council decline to issue these bonds, the
a-I af nil ofy
damus from the courts compelling us to
do so''
Other matters taken up by the committee
were in the main of routine nature. On
the request of Police Commissioner Baader,
$500 was added to the appropriation already
made for a new signal desk at the First
Precinct. This was made necessary by the
manufacturers of the article raising the
price.
The request of the Parker and Keasbey
estate for release from assessments for
a new street, which il was claimed does
not benefit the property. was referred to
the city counsel, comptroller and assess
ment commission.
Request of Elmer Freeand, clerk of the
First Precinct Court, for $40 in return
for that amount which he put up to make
good check placed in his hands as
bond in an appeal case, was granted. 1t
being shown that, the higher court re-
versed the decision.
An ordinance to regulate the manufac-
ture and sale of matches in Newark was
referred to a subcommittee to report back.
The ordinance as it stands provides rules
which several of the committeeman
thought too stringen-.
A new seal for gas meters was exhibited
and discussed, but not finally passed upon.
On the request of the City Clerk small
appropriations were made to extend the
work of taking an inventory of the City
Hall furniture and to provide a filing ar
rangement for the, new municipal library.

FOUR ITALIANS HANGED
FOR KILLING ANOTHER.
The Quartet Committed the Murder
While Making Attempt to Rob
Fellow CountrYman.

LANCASTER, Pa, Oct. 3.-The crime
for which Anthony Delero, Stephen
Carlui, Sivereo Rodelli and Joseph
Celione were hanged here today was
the murder of Plato Albamase, and
was the elimination of a daring rob-
berry.
On the night of August 80, 1906, they
entered a shanty near Gap, Pa, occu-
pied by fifteen Italian laborers, who
were asleep. One of the quartet was
stationed as a guard at the dor, while
the other three awakened the sleepers,
and with drawn revolvers and knives
demanded their savings. The amount
secured was small, because the men
had only a few days before sent away
their money.
Plato Albamase, one of the laborers,
had $50 on his person, which it SEEM
ed was known to the robbers, and they
demanded it, He denied he had any
money, whereupon they proceeded to
search his clothes by force. Resisting,
he seized a razor and fought des-
perately. In the melee Albamase was
shot and stabbed more than twenty
times The four made their escape and
fled toward Philadelphia. The wounds
on their heads and faces were the
means of their arrest soon after
After the trial and conviction Delero
and Cellone made a statement by which
they endeaYored to save the lives OF
the other two. The Italian consul at
New York interested himself in behalf
of the defendants and saw to it that
their defense was properly conducted.

SAYS YOUTSEY DID 1T.
Caleb Powers Makes Statement Regard
ing Goebel Murder Case.

LEXINGTON, KY, Oct. S.-In card
last night signed by Caleb Powers, the
correspondence covering several years
between him and the men and women
jointly indicted with him at Frank
fort on the charge of securing per-
jured testimony to fix the guilt of the
murder of former Governor William
Goebel on Henry Youtsey, is made
public.
Powers says the first information he
got was through the mother of James
w. Stevenson, who told him her son
had written to her that Youtsey said
the first thought of killing Goebel came
to him when Governor Taylor was maxi
ing the canvass over the State. He
said it, seemed sure that Taylor would
win and that Goebel would steal the
election. Youtsey, so Stevenson wrote
to his mother, then made up his mind
that Goebel must be done away with,
and when the election contest came up
he said he and a man named Culton
planned the murder.
Powers yesterday sent telegram TO
Commonwealth Attorney Robert B.
Franklin, of Frankfort. demanding a
trial at once.

KILLED IN WRECK.
Engineer Loses Life and Train Goes
Over Embankment.

FLUSHING. l.. L, Oct. 3.-Spreading
rails or the washing away of the em-
bankment is believed to have caused
the derailment of a locomotive of a pas
senger train on the North Shore branch
of the Long Island Railroad yesterday
afternoon. The engine rolled down an
embankment and crushed to death En-
gineer Charles Thompson. Thirty
men, women and children We're in the
passenger car and the combination
smoker and baggage car which made
up the train. They were severely
shaken, but no one was injured.
Conductor Kropp and his crew
Jumped out when the train stopped and
pulled Fireman Froebe out of the mire,
Then they started to look for Engineer
Thompson. He was found dead at his
post, one of his hands grasping the
throttle. A wreeking crew first re-
moved his body. 1t took more than
two hours to do it. Thompson was 40
years old and lived in Whitestone
Landing. He leaves a widow and two
daughters, 10 and 16 years old He had
been on that one run for fourteen
years.
Traffic on the branch was blocked
several hours and passengers bound for
College Point and Whitestone we're
taken to the Main street station of the
road and from there sent to the Bridge
street station. where a shunter train
conveyed them to their destination.

SUCH A cINcH!
Knife Not Even Necessary to Pick East
Orange Police Station Lock.

Besides being able to open the corridor
cell door of the East Orange police sta
tion with a knife, one may spring open
the lock without having an instrument
Of any kind. Yesterday several interested
parties used a little physical force IN
pulling back the bars near the door and
In doing so released the lock easily and
opened the iron door.
The operation was repeated several times,
and now the opening of the door Is
decidedly easy matter even for a novice.
That the police will not be compelled any
more to first lock a prisoner in cell,
then lock the corridor door and next wind
a chnin about the bars and add to 1t big
paddock, the police committee will soon
devise plans for having new lock on
the door or else get another more up-to-
The double lock on the door has no pro-
tective device about it that would prevent

strument he might secrete about his per-

steel plat fixed near the lock, but man

reach his hand to both the outside and in
side sections of the lock. The frame work
that is supposed to be firmly encased Ia
the brick work Is a trihe loose, appar-
emily, and In making the whole affair safe
proof considerable work may have to be
done. The cells still have old-style wooden
benches for beds.

of Elizabeths wealthiest residents, and
reputed millionaire figures in the list Of
properties whose owners have failed to
pay their taxes for 1906 and which have
been advertised by Comptroller Bennett TO
be sold at auction.
Mr. Townley refused to pay his taxes
on the property on the ground that the
assessment was too large and protested to
the county tax board. That body upheld
the local assessors and Mr. Towney took
the matter up before the State board.
which likewise declined to change the
figure. Certiorari proceedings were then
started in the upper courts and the mat

TO REDUCE POSTAGE.
Postmaster General Meyer Wants Treaty
with Foreign Countries.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-Two-cent
letter postage to foreign countries, ac-
cording to the belief and desire of POST
master General Meyer, is one of the
possibilities of the not distant future.
Negotiations to this end have been Ia
progress for some time between the
American and British postal authorl-
ties, and while the treatymaking stage
has not yet been reached, the desire Oh
both countries in the matter has been
found TO be identical.
This leads to the prediction by the
postal authorities that the new rate
will first be made operative between
the United States and Great Britain,
and thereafter between this country
and other foreign nations. No legisla-
ton is required from Congress to ef.
feet the new rate. as such matters are
regulated by treaty.
