EXCISE BOARD
CALL ABOUT
LETTER
Commissioners Hear From
Mayor and Read SOmmer'S
Communication

The Excise Board will hold a special
meeting next Tuesday to consider the
letter sent to Mayor Haussling by
Sheriff Frank H. Sommer in regard to
Sunday Iiquor-selling, and will also
act on a report of Chief of Police
Michael Corbitt, who reported the
number of arrests made by the police
for breach of the Su~nday-selling law.
The sheriff's letter was received by
the board at the meeting yesterday
afternoon with a brief note from
Mayor Haussling. The Mayors letter
MADE no reference to the contents Of
the letter, and ended with the state
ment that "the enclosed letter speaks
for itself"
This action on the part of the Mayor
was unexpected by the commissioners,
as was the action of the chief of police
in sending in a list of the places raided
by his mon for breaking the Bishops
law, and after a brief conference both
communications yer filed.
Chief of Police Corbitt and Acting
Captain John Caffrey, of the First
Precinct, in whose bailiwiek most of
the raids were made, were present at
the meeting of the board, as were a
number of plainclothes men from the
different precincts.
Commissioner Smith moved that the
board hold n special meeting next Tuesday
Mt . D. m. and that City Counsel Nugent
he asked to attend to discuss the Mayors
letter and the one received from the chief
of police, with a view to taking action on
the matter. 1t was suggested that the
sheriff be invited to attend, and while
the commissioners expressed their hope
that he would they did not feel inclined to
invite him to be present.
The application of Joseph Cappetta for
A license to conduct a saloon at ~ Cutler
street was rejected because of Its close
proximity to Franklin School, and the APP
plications of Arthur Wagner for a saloon
at SOL Frelinghuysen avenue and William
A. Leechman, of u and IA Academy street,
were rejected on the grounds that the
applicants were not proper persons to con-
duct the places.
The application of Michael Frino for ~
Nesbit street was laid over for investiga-
ton, as was the application of Oscar H.
Schultz for a double transfer on a saloon
at 410 Avon avenue. Michael Grabowski
withdrew his application for a transfer
for n saloon at II Broome street when he
learned that the residents Of the vicinity
objected to him.
Two licenses were granted yesterday
and four transfers, making a total Tor
the year of 1910 licenses, 316 transfers and
sixty-four double transfers.

M~ACFADDEN TO APPEAL.
Physical Culturist Will Fight Convic-
ton in Highest Courts.

SPOTSWOOD, Oct. 24-Bernarr Mac
fadden, who aroused the ire Of the Post
office Department because he ran a serial
story in his magazine, Physical Culture,
entitled Growing to Manhood" is going
to fight his conviction to the highest court
in The land. Macfadden uses the Spots
wood postofice to send out great volumes
of his physical culture literatI - He has
discontinued the article complt-1.ed of and
has somewhat modified his papers.
His lawyers raise the claim that the law
is unconstitutional. They mold that the
Constitu ion. upon which this statute nds
any authority. is the power to establish
postofices and post roads, aud that a
pc yer 10 establish such does not create
a power to prohibit the transmission Of
mail matter between citizens of various
States and that, therefore. the act is an
a~bridgement Of free speech and a free
press.

ALUMNI MEETING
FRANKLIN SCHOOL GRADU-
ATES GIVE PROGRAM.
Principals Dance Suggestion for Febru-
airy Meeting Adopted to Assure
Big Attendance.

Graduates of the Franklin School in
Fifth avenue gathered in the assem-
bly, hall last night at the opening
meeting of the fall and winter season
of the Alumni Association of the
school. At the business session it was
voted, on a suggestion by Principal
Arthur G. Balcom, to make dancing a
special feature of the February meet
ing, and that each member of the as
ISOLATION make an effort to get as
many graduates as possible to attend.
A program arranged by Howard Ish-
erwood was then presented. Miss Myr-
tie Galloway gave a piano solo, "Cu-
pid's Dreams" and Miss Lulu Collins,
a young girl, sang "Sing Me to Sleep"
She has a sweet voice. Miss Lucille
Hubbell recited Sunday Morning"
causing much laughter by her repre-
s%entation of a woman who criticises
everybody. In response to vigorous APP
plause she gave a laughter-making tit
bit. Miss Edith Speer, a young
who has a strong Inc esonan voice,
sang 1.-THE Violet" She merited the
hearty applause given her.
The young people then enjoyed dane
ing for an hour. Franklin School is
the only school in the city in which
dancing is a feature of an alumni as
ISOLATION meeting. 1t is an attractive
feature for the young people, and Prin-
cipal Balloon encourages II. The as
sembly is a splendid place for dancing.
The officers of the Alumni Associa-
ton are Alfred Wilson, president; Miss
Hattie Saul, vice-president; Percy Men
agh, treasurer. and Joseph Steiner,
secretary. The executive committee
consists of Howard Isherwood, chair
man; Miss Myrtle Galloway, Miss Ma
bel Carr and Walter Cooper.

BURIED $4,000 PERSONS.
James winterbottom Was Oldest New
York Undertaken.

NEW YORK, oct. A-James Winterbot-
tom, 50 years of age, the oldest undertaken

pital yesterday after an illness of six

four times since coming to America In 1914
with one English sovereign and sixpence,
and o wife, whom he had married the year
previous. He learned undertaking., located
in Brooklyn, and in 1919 opened an estab-
ishment Mt 1874 Spring street, which, On

NEED FIRE HORSES
TO REPLACE ONES WORN
OUT IN SERVICE.
Board Leaves It to Burke-Hostler at
Reserve Stables-Lets Fireman Off
for Wedding.

1t was reported by Fire Commits
sioner Burke, at a meeting of the Fire
Board yesterday afternoon, that there
was need for a number of new horses
in the department to replace some of
those now in the service, which have
outlivxd their usefulness, and would
be unable to stand the strain of the
lard work during the cold weather.
After considerable discussion Com
missioner Burke was instructed to use
his own Judgment in the matter and
replace the old horses with new ones.
: Commissioner Burke also
that there was a great need for an
other hostler at the reserve stables,
and that one should be had who would
be employed to look after the horses
only and not do any fire duty.
At present firemen are detailed for that
work, but 1t often happens that when the
water tower and the coal supply wagons
are called out to second-alarm fires the
reserve stable is left alone, which is not
deemed advisable. especially when the
sick horses have to be attended to. Hugh
L.. Towey, of Is New street, and Anthony
C. Helfrich, of 70 Second street, were ap-
pointed fourth grade fremen, and will
report. for duty November 1.
At the suggestion of Commissioner Lo-
gan, a fire alarm gong will be placed ut
South Orange avenue and Bruce street for
The protection of the fire apparatus and
men that cross South Orange avenue at
that point.
The crossing has always been considered
n dangerous one, because the trolley cars
cross Bruce street at a speed that would
demoIish a fire apparatus. There have
been a number of small accidents at that
point, but 1t is believed that, with a gong
placed there, the danger will be greatly
lessened.
Superintendent of the Telegraph System
Adam Bosch reported that he expected
that the new fire alarm system at the
City Hall would be ready about November
l.. 1t was also said that the new fire house
at Golden and New streets, which will be
known as Engine Company No. %, will be
ready for use about December l.
Commissioner Burke said that the con-
tractor who is doing the work on that
building, and also at the three new houses
in Mulberry street and repairing Engine
Company No. 10. was experiencing much
difficulty in getting mechanics, owing to
the scarcity Of help at present.
Fireman William Edwards, of Truck No.
6, applied for a three days leave Of abb
sence. commencing November II, to be-
come a benedict. In the application 1t was
stated that his intended action met with
the approval OF George E.. Lacey, captain
of the company. 1t was unanimously de-
cided to grant the fireman the time off
desired.

HAS SLEPT SIX WEEKS.
Paterson Hospital Doctors Are Unable
to Awake Miner.

PATERSON. Oct. 24.-Joseph Koeijus
has been in a comatose state in st. Jo-
seph's Hospital for the last six weeks, and
thus far has utterly failed to respond to
treatment. He came to the hospital from
Oxford Furnace, where he had been en-
ployed in the mines. He was in a weak
condition, but was able TO walk.
After he had been two days in the hos
pital he fell into u deep sleep from which
he could not be aroused. Up to two
weeks ago he swallowed the liquid food
given him, but since then nourishment
has been injected through a tube. Sew
eral times his eyes have opened, but ne
appeared to be entirely unconscious Of
what was going on around him. His body
the last few days has become rigid from
the hips up, but regular breathing can be
applied to arouse him, but in vain.

CASE DISMISSED.
Alleged Trenton Firebug Escapes Long
Jail Sentence.

TRENTON, Oct. 24.-United States
Judge William M. tanning filed an opinion
here yesterday absolving from the charge
OF contempt Of court David II. Brand, d
Trenton merchant, once convicted Of burn
ing his department store and sentenced to
a long term in prison. who has since
re-established himself in business pending
a disposition of his case in the Court of
Errors. Brand was requested by a referee
in bankruptcy to file schedules of his as
sets and liabilities, following the trial
which wrecked his business and put him
in bankruptcy. He failed to do so and the
contempt proceedings were instituted. The
judge finds that under the law a bankrupt
is not obliged to file schedules, but he
adds very significantly that such persons
usually do all in their power to assist
In the settling up Of their affairs.

CRIMSON FuMsLEs BADLY

CAMBRIDGE, Nov. B.-The work of the Har-
ward football team in scrimmage with the sub
stitute this afternoon was the poorest exhibit
ton of the open game put up by the first team
this season. Coupled with inaccurate forward
passing was the old trouble of fumbling in
the back field. Not a single back knew how to
receive the punts Of the subs, the ball rolling
and humping along the ground
The Crimson made her few gains by line
pIunging. depending Rand, Wendell and
Apolono to make their own holes through the
opposing line. The forward pass and on-side
kick was continually used and each time prov
ing unsuccessful, the ball either striking the
ground or going direct to an opposing lneman.
The varsity made touchdown, due to
tumble by Glider the seconds quarter, on the
l5-yard line, Starr getting the ball and carry
ing 1t over for touchdown. Burr failed to
lFick goal Afte- this the ball was booted back
and forth over the middle of the field, the
subs trying the varsity line for some vicious
gains
Toward the end the second weakened and
fumbled continually. the first team recovering
its own punts for long gains. Theodore Roose-
velt, jr., played end on the substitute team and
held the position against the heavy varsity
men Teddy played hard game, the varsity
not being able to gain around his end He
has been out of the scrimmage for some time
owing to injured knee, but has fully re-
covered.

CITY AUDITOR RETURNS
WITH BOOK INNOVATIONS
MUsHET WILL INTRODUCE NEW
ACCOUNTING
Los Angeles System Will Be Conn
posite from Twenty Cites-East-
ern Municipalities Absorbing
California Ideas

Though the Los Angeles charter inn
poses limits City Auditor W. C. Mushet,
Just returned from his eastern trip, prom
ises that he will install here the best
system of accounting anywhere.
After consulting heads of twenty cities
Mr.. Mushet thinks he has arrived at a
fair system for this city, the principal
features being comptroller in charge
and new bookkeeping for all departments.
One of the first things he wants to do
is to substitute checks for demands. The
council being the legislative body, the
payment of bills is purely administrative.
The present system of passing demands
through the finance committee Is a farce,
as the three members have no time to ex-
anime the bills and the demands must fl
nally be passed on by the auditor.
Mr.. Mushet thinks the dollar tax rate
should be maintained.
Eastern cites are copying the Los
Angeles idea of investigating the license
office and systematizing the purchase of
supplies.
Mr.. Mushets trip cost the city $1,000, this
also paying for his assistant, H. Ivor
Thomas, but it will in return get system
of books for which other cities expeud
thousands of dollars.
