mated at last nights convention.
they claim that Mr.. Underwood's name

asmuch as he was the choice of the ma
jority of the Republicans In the imaginary
district which includes the town and

field and Glen Ridge were said to have
been DESTROYS of having Mr.. Underwood.
A member of the Republican County
Committee who was elected as a Colby.
lite in the town declared this morning tnat
the placing of the four New Idea men
on the ticket would nor help the latter

THE result of the convention last

IT'S CROOKALL
WINS KEARNY MAYORALTY
NOMINATION.
Beats Brock. Of Arlington Section, by
One Vote, After 0'Conner
Withdrew.

Amid much excitement the Kearny Re-
publican town convention, held in the
Town Hall last night, placed in nomlna-
ton for Mayor, Henry Crookan, a we'll
known contractor of the lower section, on
the first ballot, against ex-Councilman
Louis M. Brock. of the Arlington section,
by a vote of 9 to {, respectively. The
anticipated three-cornered fight was
thwarted at the last moment by the with
drawal of John r. O'Conner, Mr.. Brooks
opponent In the Third Ward. The formers
delegate was instructed, 1t was alleged,
to support Mr. Cookall as a slap at the
Third Warders for the defeat O'Conner re-
ceived at the primaries for the delega-y
ton
The~vote had its surprises. Both eandi-
dates received full support from their
First and Mr.. Brock four from the Third
Ward. TIT former received one from the
Second. Robert. ,Agle, that was unexpected,
for it was said that the full delegation
promised to stand by Mr.. Brock as be-
tween the two candidates., and Mr.. Crook
Slts cq ineSadisg t 5oSn L 1eG% the the oSgGln
ner delegate, was sufficient to give him
the nomination. Mr.. Brooks additional
support included three from the Second
derson, who defeated II. G. Seeley, the
Freeman-Holland delegate by two votes.
MI. Brock was defeated by Mayor Eu-
gene H. Goldberg by the same majority
TWO years ago.
James RUTHERFORD, a delegate from the
First Ward, was not able to be present
and School Commissioner William 3. Ross
was substituted, as reported by the conf
mittee on credentials, composed Of Edward
Sergeant, Cecil Arnot. Joseph Childs and
John Iiebfeld.
There was some discussion over the
method of balloting, the committee on
rules, composed Of Walter Brooks. Robert
Agile, George A. King and A. b. Anderson,
recommending an open ballot, which was
adopted.
After Chairman Smith of the Town Com
mittee had called the convention to order
and stated briefly the object of the eonven-
Castles was elected chairman and George
w. McClintock secretary. Charles S. Hol-
land and Samuel Magee were elected
tellers. Chairman Castles names as a COM
mittee on vacancies, Samuel Magee,
George A. King. Mr.. King placed in nomi-
nominated by Walter Brooks
As an aftermath of the convention, it Is
alleged that School Commissioned Cecil
Arnot, who was opposed to Mr.. Crookall,
was told by the firm he worked for that
unless he supported Mr.. Crookall his
signed his position at the close of the
days work, and supported Brock.
Mr.. Crookall, the mayoralty. nominee,
has resided in Kearny several years, and
has always been an active Republican.
Several weeks ago be was nominated by
Henry c. Green. and confirmed by the
Council, but he has never acted in that
capacity, for the reason that the legality
of the appointment has been left an open
question. In the face of that fact, interests
ing developments are promised when the
coming Mayor takes his seat, January /,
for there will be two vacant assessorships
to fill. S.

SMITH QUESTIONED
is TREASURER OF STATE
VILLAGE FOR EPlLEPTICS.
Nothing in Management Of Institution
to Criticise Except Failure to
Invest Funds.

TRENTON, Sept. 13.-Dr. Thomas J..
Smith, treasurer of the board of managers
of the State Village for Epileptics, was
put on the witness stand at the afternoon
session of the Hahn investigating commit
tee yesterday.
He testified that during the year 1906 the
average balance on account of the village.
In the Cumberland National Bank was
SIS. 900. He said he did not demand that
interest be paid on the balance until May.
1907. The institution has an endowment
fund of 1000. When the fund was received
it was deposited in the bank but drew no
interest from May, 1901. until May, 1903.
The annual interest fund was to be de-
voted to the support of an inmate, ac-
ccIding to Mr., Backes. DR.. Smith thought
the money was paid to the institution d.
rectly.
He said the managers were undecided
what to do with the money, and that it
was put in bank pending their decision.
In March of this year the managers df-
rected Or. Smith to take the 81, 900 out
of the Cumberland National Bank and
deposit it in the Hudson National Bank
and the Hoboken Trust Company, where
1t draws 4 per cent, DIR. smith is a stock
holder in the Cumberland Bank. He said
he did not favor putting the money in a
bank that pays 4 per cent because he did
not think ANY honest bank can nav 4
per cent" He said the fact that he was
a Sockholder in the Cumberland Bank did
not influence him in opposing the action
Of the managers In changing the depository
of the endowment fund.
MIR. Backes showed that the States
original expense for establishing the epi-
leptic village was 1911, 944. and he said he
feels and the committee feels that In spite
of a rther high cost that the State has an
admirable institution. The maintenance
OF the institution has cost $53S.O27. Mr..
Backes tod DR.. Smith that a careful ex-
animation of the books ~howed everything
TO be correct. but tAat there was some
criticism about the failure to invest the
endowment fund. which would easily sup
port one of the inmates.
The witness said the Institution is badly
In need of a hospital for the care
of those who are in such condition
that they might be cured or benefited.
The mi adjourned until next Tues
day, which is the time for the meeting of
the House. At that time the ommitte
will fix the date for its next meeting.

MAYOR "GETS BACK"
Orange Executive RENTS Fine Imposed
by Police Judge on Man in Dog Case.

Mayor Isaac Shoenthal, of Orange, had
his innings in The controversy with Police
Judge Joseph B.. Bray. of Orange, yester-
day afternoon over the imposition OF a fine
of S. on John Morris. of 50 Glebe street,
Orange, for allowing a dog to run at large
in the street when the Mayor, acting WIFI
in his rights, remItted the fine imposed by
the judge. Judge Bray was asked by
Mayor Shoenthal yesterday morning after
he had imposed the fine on Morris 10 delay
collection until he had a chance to inyesti-
gate the circumstances. but Bray refused
and the remission Of the fine by the Mayor
followed.
Mayor Shoenthal was rather indignant
today when seen by a reporter over the
affair. He said the imposition of the fine
or the threatened term of ten days i'm
prisonment would be a hardship on Morris,
who had a large family, and that 1t was
open question whether or not Morris really
owned the dog which had been shot sew
eral days ago. He said he had a letter
from Judge Bray in which the court stated
he was agreeable to having the fine re-
mitted.
There has been a crusade against dogs
running at large in Orange streets and the
police have been active In locating the al
legged owners of stray animals.
