Picko Caprio1ione, &c years old, of S6
Bay street, Montclair, is under arrest
in Bloomfield on suspicion of doing
the Jack the PEPPER act in Farrand

WOMEN ACCUSE HIM
Dog Warden Lee, of East Orange,
Charged with Cruelty, But Little
Evidence Is Produced.

Dog Warden Lee, of East Orange, who
has put to death nearly 500 dogs he caught
roaming about the streets Of the city I'M
licensed during the year, was before the
ordinance committee of the East Orange
City Council last night to answer the
charges of several wonen who claim he
had ill-treated several dogs during the
last few weeks and shot several on the
streets. Chairman Lee came back from
Bradley Beach to conduct the case, but
none of the women appeared, and 1t is
probable nothing further viii be done in
the matter. :.
It was charged by the complainants that
the warden had been unusually severe
and they announced their intention OF
fighting him hard. Councilman Brown
took the matter UP and made an tnvestiga-
ton on his W %ccoun He said he
found that several of the complaints had
been of a foolish kind, and he found In
one instance, he said, that a woman had
only heard a shot In a vacant lot and old
not know anything about the killing or
a dog.
Lee told members of the committee that
the charges of the women were not true,
and that he hadn't treated any dog wrong
ly. He believed that the complaints were
made for spite, because he made one or
the women license a dog she owned. me
matter was to nave been brought before
the committee several weeks ago. Once
the warden failed to attend, and the next
time only one of the complainants APP
peared. The case was to have been set
tied last night. Lee denied ~strenuously
the truth of any OF the charges.

PROMPT PAY
FOR BRIDGE WORK.
Joint Free Bridge Committee Appoints
Special Committee to Investigate
Holding Up Of Bills.

In order to prevent in the future the
unreasonable holding up of bills for
work done on the county bridges, the
joint free bridge committee OF
the Court House in Jersey City last
night, voted that two committees be
appointed to look into the matter n
report as soon as practicable.
The resolution was introduced by
Freeholder Frank e. Ward, of this city.
and the result was that these commit
tees were named: North bridge COM
mittee. Freeholders Ward and Quinn. OF
Essex County, and Freeholders Dite
n Murge, of Hudson County; south
bridge committee, F~reeholders Ward
and Kenny, of Essex County, n Free
holders McHugh and Crosby, of Hud-
son County. The north bridge commit
tee cover the jackson street, Bridge
street and Clay street bridges. and the
south bridge committee the Plank o
bridge.
Following is the resolution. which
was adopted after considerable talk
and a good deal of explanation on the
part of several of the members:
whereas, Complaints have been made
to this committee that moneys due citi-
zens for work done by order of this
joint committee and our predecessors,
properly certified n recommended for
to our respective boards, nave
been held up by officers of the counties
in some Instances for the space Of one
or two years, now therefore be 1t
Resolved, That a committee of MEM
bers of this joint committee be ap-
pointed by the joint chairman, whose
duty 1t shall be to investigate the rea-
sons and causes, If there be any. why
citizens who AVE performed work for
the counties are compelled to walt such
an unreasonable time for and
said special committee shall report
back to this joint committee their and
|ipgs as soon as practicable"
The committee awarded the work for
furnishing and putting up the ratings
for the Plank road bridge to a West
Hoboken firm of contractors at 81, 2Se,

BUILDING STOPPED
NEW HOUSES
FOUND FAULTY.
Kearny Council Places Ban on David
Harper's Structures in Devon
Street, Arlington.

All work was ordered stopped on the
fourteen new houses that are being erected
simultaneously by David Harper. a Harri-
son contractor, in Devon street, Arlington.
this morning as the result OF 4 thorough
inspection of the work complained OF BY
a number Of citizens In the form OF SOON
munication to the Town Council Weakness
day night. Mayor Eugene H. Goldberg,
Couneilmen John Davidson. jr.. Thomas
J. Kelly and Harry B.. Caithness accom-
panied by Building Inspector B. WsSDashe
made the inspection last night and founA
that the complaints were Justified.
The officials found In nearly all instances
that the beams of the second floors were
not only too short, but many of them were
knotty and otherwise defective. somekof
the mason work was found to be ouejof
plumb and represented workmanship oftthe
crudest character, they alleged. The en-
tire property was thoroughly inspected
and it was the consensus of opinion of the
officials that Building Inspector Dashe. had
been very lax In his duties to allow such
work to continue. and they declared that
the responsibility rests upon him. =
He was ordered to stop all work until
the faulty beams were replaced. the mason
work corrected, and when this is done and
the matter reported to the Council aphther
inspection will be made before work can
proceed.
The officials contend that the building
ordinance has been so fagrantly violated
In this instance that 1t will probably lead
to other Investigations.

ton In Montclair will go into effect on

have often been the last to get away from
the depot owing to others being In their
way.
The now regulations provide that the
cabs and hack drivers will stand in the
pocket made by the railroad yard on the
extreme east Of the depot, and automobiles
will approach on the western side of the
station and keep on that side. In this way
automobilists, hack drivers and private
carriages will be enabled to start Just as
soon as their parties get on board.
This arrangement was worked out by
the new Automobile Club, represented by
oliver Wren, and the Lackawanna Rail
road Company. represented by Superin-
tendent C. H. Ketcham.
Chief of Police Henry Gallagher will see
to 1t that the new arrangements are carried
out.
Signs are being placed calling the atten-
ton Of the public to the new rules.

UP TO HYDE PARK
County Park Board Ready to Improve
South Parkway as Soon as Drain Is
Built by East Orange.

Several city officials Of East Orange
have recently been in consultation with
the Essex County Park Commission rela-
tive to the proposed Improvement of South
Parkway. East Orange, as regards drain
age. and were given to understand that
nothing would be done by the commission
until the city has the proposed large
drain erected. The peculiar part of the
situation is that the residents of Hyde
Park for whom. it is stated, the improve
ment is designed, will not allow the drain
to be constructed. and their representative,
Councilman Saxelby. has been instructed
to fight any move on the part of his
colleagues toward authorizing the con-
struction Of the drain.
Thu commission has notified the city Of
heials that the necessary money is ready
to be spent as far as that body is con-
,cerned. but unless the Hyde Park resi-
dents are appeased no money will be
spent. This has caused a lot OF trouble.
and 1t Is probable that some more will be
made in the near future. The Parkway,
1t is said. needs to be improved at present.
and the roadway will have to be repaired.
The commissioner state that they are
willing to- do their part. but the East
Orange City Council must start first.
