DESPITE MARKET
NOLAN co. MADE BIG SUM
WHEN 1T WAS LOW.
Detective Who Raided Concern al
Bucket Shop Finds Figures
in Accounts.

Detective Sergeant Frank Tuite, of
the detective bureau, who conducted a
raid on the Nolan Commission Com
pany last week, is still going over the
books of the company, which he still
has in his possession.
One of the interesting items Detective
Tuite ran across recently was that
showing how much the company had
made despite the condition of the New
York stock market. On March IA last the
books of the company show that the
company in this city cleared thousands
of dollars a day when the market was
at its lowest in three years
The Nolan concern was raided as an
alleged bucket shop, but Nolan insisted
that they did a legitimate business and
would continue operations. The find
ing of documents pointing to attempted
corruption of the Connecticut Legisla-
ture is believed to have led Nolan and
his associates to reconsider their first
def to the authorities, as the concern
is no longer transacting business with
the public.

SUMMONED
FOR SELLING
BAD ICE
Health Board Order ViO-
lated and Licenses Are
in Danger.

The possible cause of an epidemic of
typhoid fever and other contagious dis
eases has been discovered by the Board
of Health, in the sale of ice officially
barred, from the ponds of Irvington,
and tonight the men who sold this ice
in this city, in violation of the orders
issued by the local Board Of Health,
will be summoned before the board and
made to show cause why their licenses
should not be revoked. and both they
and the company who sold them the
ice may be prosecuted for endangering
the health of the community.
Last spring the NEWARK DAILY
ADVERTISER told of the con-
dition of the ponds from which the
ice was cut, and an analysis made by
the city chemist and State Board of
Health showed that the water of the
ponds in question were full of the colon
baccilli, the primary germ of many con-
tagious and communicable diseases, and
in the report of the State chemist, the
ponds were lillened to filthy sewer
holes" deadly menace to health and
life.
The ponds in question are brakes
upper pond, Durand's pond, Drake S
! lower and Drake's little lower ponds,
all fed by the Elizabeth River, which

that the river and ponds were in bad
condition.

with the County Tax Board today. 1t

Verona was recently divided, part OF
the place being made into borough

INDICTED COP WINS
FIGHT TO DOFF UNIFORM
FOR A WHILE.
Adubato So Sensitive He Disliked to
Wear It--Gets Two Months
Leave.

The Police Board, after much wrail-
Cling, decided yesterday to give Police
man Thomas Adubato a two months
leave of absence, after receiving a
verbal opinion from City Attorney
Francis Child jr., that the board could
not suspend Adubato or grant three
months leave of absence.
1t was then decided by the police COM
missioners to go ahead and act on their
own responsibility, Commissioner Har-
rigan stating that 1t was about time
the board understood where 1t was at.
He moved that Adubato be given two
months leave of absence, In order that
the matter could be disposed Of
Adubato, in his argument for leave
of absence, said that he was informed
by some one, whom he did not name,
that if he would resign the Indictment
found against him by the grand jury
would be quashed. Adubato said that
he would not resign under any circum-
stances. He declared that he wanted
three months leave in order to clear
himself of the charge on which the
grand Jury Indictment was based.
Adubato said that he did not plan to
90 into any business, as at first stated.
The board gave him two months leave
to take effect August is.

drugged, called in DIR. Hinckley, acting
police surgeon. The physician made a
very careful examination and found
that the girl had not been the victim
of knockout drops, as suspected, but
apparently was suffering from the after
effects of a spree. The girl was later
removed to st. Barnabas's Hospital.
A trolley car conductor named
Bernard Reilly who is said to have
lived in Bloomfield, was arrested or

START WORK MONDAY
SEWER JOB IN PASSAlC TO
COST $4,000.
Is Engineers Estimate-Works Board to
Do Some Dredging Yearly to Make
It Less Formidable.

The work of removing five years ac-
cumulation OF filth from the mouths OF
the eight sewers in the Passaic River,
between Mount Pleasant Cemetery and
the plant of the Lister Agricultural
Chemical Company, will be commenced
under contract with the city on Mon
day morning by the contractor P. san
ford Ross.
Chief Engineer Norris r. Sherrerd
said today that he thought II would re-
uuire several months to finish the job,
and that at the contract price of so
cents a cubic yard, the entire appro-
priation of $4,000 would be expended.
He said 1t was the intention of the
Board of Works in the future to do a
little dredging each year, instead of
neglecting the work, as has been done
in the past, this being the first time
for the city to do any dredging in the
river in five years.
Manufacturers complained to the
board some months ago. demanding
that some action be taken to deepen
the river along the docks, as it was
impossible in some instances to get a
craft drawing more than five feet of
water up to their docks The contract
calls for a depth of eight feet at low
water between the points mentioned.
The contractor cannot go much deeper
than this along the docks. because in
many instances they are not con-
structed to accommodate craft of
heavier draft.
Mr.. Sherrerd said that in time it is
hoped to have the river along the New
ark side dredged out level with the
twelve-foot channel made by the gov
eminent some years ago. This he said.
would be accomplished in time, but the
manufacturers would be compelled to
stand portion of the expense.
