ESSEX MEN TO
MEET THIS
EVENING
Assembly Members Elect
Will Try to Have Martin
Made Leader.

To talk over the situation that will
confront them tomorrow, when they go
TO Trenton a-slate-making, the local
Republican Assemblymen-elect from
this county will gather tonight in the
county committee rooms, Academy and
Halsey streets, to settle on the attitude
of Essex toward the ap~portionment of
places in the House next winter.
Although the conferees and gossipers
left the State House last Tuesday week
with a rather clear understanding that
Professor John D.. Prince, of Passaic,
the Columbia University Mezzofanti,
was going to be Speaker of the House,
there are possibilities of a change in
which a South Jersey man may be he
next Speaker of the House, possibly
Frank B. Jess, of Camden.
At any rate, the Essex men, it is
said, feel that Assemblyman-elect Will
lam P. Martin is entirely out of the
race for the Speakership, but the Els
sex men are said to want Mr.. Martin
for leader. But ten votes from other
counties are needed. Whether they
can be gotten is doubtful.
Last week County Chairman Alfred
N. Dalrymple announced that accord
ing to custom he would call the mem
bers together for a talk the early part
of this week. 1t was said the four New
Idea men have previous engagements
that will prevent them from attend
ing. This will not interfere with the
discussion that the other members may
indulge in, because the four a~bsentees
were on the ground last Tuesday n
know what's what.
Nearly all of the delegation except
the New Idea men are tyros in legisla-
tive experience, and tonight's confer
ence will simply be a talkfest, they say
to familiarize themselves with the sit
uation so as to be ready when they go
to Trenton tomorrow.

MACCABEES ELECT
FIRST STATE CONVENTION
OF THE ORDER.
officers Installed by Supreme Com
mander-Initiation Under
New Ritual.

The f1rrt annual convention of the
Knights of Maccabees of New Jersey
came to a successful close last Satur-
day night with big class initiation.
The session an all-day one, was held
at 1913 West Park street. The most
important business of the convention
was the election of the first grand off
GERS.
Contrary to the usual custom at
conventions for the selection of these
officers, more so since it was the first
ever elected in the State, the election
passed off very satisfactorily and with
out delay. The election resulted as fol-
lows:
Past commander, Samuel Lustig. Pater-
son Tent No. 1; State commander, A. w.
Frye. Carteret, 8; Lieutenant-commander,
keeper. M. L. Ferris, National, 6; master
alarms, Joseph A. JONES' Belvidere. 30;
chaplain, s. G. Hodges. Hackensack, %;
medical examiner, Edward Guion. Atlantic
City. %; sergeant. r. Gruhn, Liberty, 10;
first guard, A. II. Mathisen. Ideal, 81;
second guard. Harry Conner, Zenith, %;
sentinel, N. Colbert. Enterprise. SO; picket,
William Chestnut. Protection. 5.
The newly elected officers were installed
by Supreme Commander Marley, after
which tue remainder OF t1e AFTERNOON was
devoted to general speechmak!ng on mat
tiers of interest to Maccabeeism.
At 5 O'clock the delegates went to the
Continetal Hotel in a body and sat down
70 a banquet.
The delegates r~econvened Saturday night
and witnessed the initiation of a class of
one hundred candidates, who received the
new third degree recently adopted by the
general executive body of the order.
Bayonne Division No. /, Uniformed Rank,
assisted in the initiatory ceremony.
The next convention will be held I'm Jer-
sey City. Many of the out-of-town dele
gates remained in the city over Sunday,
while a few left for their homes imme-
diately at the close of the convention.
A vote Of thanks was extended to the
EVENING STAR. for the accuracy of the
account of the proceedings of the conven-
tinn.

TO ACT
ON BRIDGE
PETITION
Tells Trade Board lie
Will Direct Attention
TO It.

A committee from the Board of
Trade, George w. Tomkins, secretary
of the committee on rivers and navi-
cation. and James M. Reilly, secretary
of the board, waited on Mayor Hauss-
ling this morning in the City Hall in
pursuance with a resolution passed at
the meeting of the Board of Trade
November 10 asking for the coopera-
ton of the Mayor in an effort to have
the low railroad bridge of the Cen
trail Railroad removed.
The Mayor gave them assurance that
he would call the matter to the atten-
ton of Common Council.
The resolution passed by the Board
of Trade. a copy of which was pre-
scented to the Mayor, reads as follows:
Resolved, That the committee on river
and navigation interests be hereby
authorized to file an application with the
Secretary of War for the issuance of an
order against the Central Railroad COM
pany Of New Jersey to show cause why
the present Objectionable structure, con-
shutting an obstruction to the navigation
of Newark Bay, should ont be removed
and a modern high structure or a tunnel
built"
The resolution further provides that
the concurrence of the Mayor, Common
Council and Board of Works be Sc
cured.

TRIAL FOR
JAIL
ESCAPE
Men Charged by Hud-
sons Prosecutors With
Bold Conspiracy.
Especial to the Evening start

JERSEY CITY. Nov. 1S.-Four men
charged with plotting to shoot their way
out Of the Hudson County jail are on
trial today in Quarter Sessions Court. Two
others, alleged to have been in the plot-a
woman and a man-have pleaded non vult,
and will be called as witnesses against the
quartet, while still another man involved
in the conspiracy is in the Elmira, N. Y.
reformatory, where he was recently sent
by the New York authorities.
The defendants on trial are David Car
berry, Joseph Williams, George Hoffman
and Lawrence Gibson. The common-law
wife of Carberry, Bridget Carberry, has
pleaded non vult. George Black is the
man confined at Elmira.
Two revolvers were purchased and con-
cealed in packages of oatmeal. 1t is al
legged by the State. They We're conveyed
to the four men In the Jail by Mrs. Car
berry, and finally reached the cells. 1t
was planned, 1t Is alleged, to make the
break for liberty on June 20 last In the
early morning, and If they met with inter-
ference the four men were to shoot down
any man who stood in their way ac-
cording to the prosecution.
Shortly after Mrs. Carberry had delivered
the guns to the men there was a leak"
and the Jail keeper obtained sufficient in
formation to warrant holding the woman.
The guns were taken from the cells and
the men were separated. They were all
indicted, and Gibson was brought back
from Brooklyn on ~extradition. Black was
at that time under arrest and was SEN
fenced TO Elmira, so thai he could not be
brought to New Jersey.

Berlin or Paris--SaiIs
From Hamburg Dec. I.

HAMBURG, Nov. 18.-Secretary Taft
has engaged passage for New York on
the neutrality-suspicious. line steamer
President Grant, sailing from here Sat-
urday, December z.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Secretary
Taft, who arrived at V~ladivostok yes
terday, has cabled Major Mcintyre, the
acting chief Of the insular bureau, to
engage accommodations for him and his
party on the steamship President Grant
which leaves Hamburg, Germany, on
December Z, for New York. The Secre-
tary said nothing about his program
for the stay in Asia or Europe. Mr..
Taft telegraphed that all the party
were well.
1t is understood here that Mrs. Taft
will not come to the United States
with the secretary, but that she will
remain in Europe for a short time.
PARIS, Nov. 18.-The dispatch re-
received at the American Embassy here
from Secretary Taft, who is now at
Vladivostok, announcing his inability to
visit Paris or Berlin on his way home
from the far East, says that 'impor-
tant business at home" makes it i'm
possible for him to visit either of those
capitals.
The seer etary will leave st. Petersburg
December 5 direct for Hamburg.
BERLIN. Nov. Is. Regret is expressed
at the Foreign Office here at the fact that
Secretary Taft's plans will not permit
him TO be entertained here or to visit
Emperor WiTiarG in England. While it is
perfectly understood that Mr.. Taft had
no special object in altering his plans, It
would nave been most agreeable for his
Majestysto have received the distinguished
American Traveller, TO v exchanged
views with him and to have shown him
many coprtesies
The Erapercr would v been able to
see Mr.. Taft in England up to December
8. and as the audience was arranged at the
seeretary's request, it is presumed that
some urgent reason exists requiring him
tc hasten home.

E INDEX IN
SURROGATE'S
OFFICE
Searches for Records Can
Now Be Made With Speed
and Accuracy.

Surrogate George e. Russell today
completed the reindexing of the volu-
minous s~urrOgate's office records. The
new index was turned over to the coun-
ty authorities today. The work has
beer a laborious one, occupying the
~surrogate's attention much of the time
since early in September.
1t perfects the method of keeping Of
flee records. The new index furnishes
the only access to the thousands of
wills and the other valuable papers.
Some of the older books had become so
badly worn that the reading was fast
becoming illegible and could only be
read with the aid of a magnifylng
glass.
Another defect in the old system was
that the indices were arranged in three al
phabets. which mad the examination of
three sets Of books necessary before in
formation which was sought could be OBJ
tanned.
BY the system just completed all of the
records in the office are brought under one
alphabet, and the Lusk system of index
ing has been adopted, whereby not only
the surname is indexed, but also the Chris
tian name.
The original intention was to merely
COPY the old docket into the new arrange
ment. 1t was found, however, that from
1893 to 1883 a loose method of doeketing the
cases had been followed, many cases hav-
ing been omitted from the docket and
others on the docket not being indexed at
all. 1t became necessary that all these
errors should be corrected, and, accord
ingly, the papers filed between 1898 and
1907, amounting In all to over $4,000 diff
ferent cases, were gone over and COM
-a-ol NTH tho dockat A II oneac ~ arrorc
or omissions from the record were cor
rnctad.

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 1S.-At the Jersey
City Board of Trade meeting tomorrow
night the express companies and the tele-
graph companies doing business In this city
will come in for severe criticism, it is
believed.
One question will be put to the express
company. 1t will be this: why are tho
charges on express packages greater. and
the delivery system poorer in Jersey CITY
thar in n city of similar size In the
United States
This question will go to the telegraph
companies: why is ten cents additional
charged for every telegram that goes on
the Hill, aud who gets the ten cents o.
The lighting of the Boulevard will again
be taken up by the board, and This time
the Boulevard Commission Is scheduled
to get 1t hard. The temper of the BOARD
can be shown in the matters to which a
circular announcing the meeting refer.
What will the public have-new Power
house, Public Service or darkness?" is
one question the circulars ask.
The water supply problem, the question
of milk inspection, the collection of ashes,
the improvement of the High School site
and the repairing of asphalt about the
city will all be discussed.

ORDERS ACCOUNTING OF
GLEN RIDGE ESTATE.
Advisory Master Grants Petition of
Grandchildren of Mrs. Morton.
S. c. Barnum. Executor.

Charles F. Kocher. deputy surrogate,
sitting as advisory master, rendered an
opinion today directing Stephen G.
Barnum to file an accounting of the
estate of Mrs. Ann G.. Morton, his
mother-in-law, whose grandchildren
have asked for the accounting. The
order directs that the accounting shall
be made within twenty days.
The action adds another chapter to
the tangled legal proceedings in the
settlement Of the estate. Mrs. Morton
died in Glen Ridge about 1--WE years ago
and Barnum, who was administrator of
her estate, was removed by order of
former Judge Skinner, then sitting in
the Orphans Court. Afterward he was
made petitioner with the will annexed.
AS executor, 1t is alleged that he sold
property in Middle Village. Long Island,
belonging to the estate. It is on this
score fh-s - accounting Is required,

TRY TO ROB IN
STREETS OF
CITY
One Victim Beaten-- AnOther
Delivers Assaiiant to
the POlics.

Two daring attempts at robbery were
made yesterday within a few minutes
of each other and at the same place.
The highwaymen. whom, it is said.
numbered about six, were baked in
both attempts. and one of them landed
in q station house, having been cap
.tilred by his intended victim. after a
warm scuffie.
The holdup occurred at Front and
Centre streets, nea the old Scheuer
ruins, about 1880 o'clock. The first at
tempt was made on Charles Nelson, a
years old, of 252 Market street.
Nelson was crossing the railroad
track on his way toward Centre street,
when he was set upon by 4 gang OF
young men, none of whom, he declared,
was under 10 years of age. Nelson was
Knocked down and kicked in the head.
He shouted for the police and fought
his assailants as best he could.
His yells finally frightened the gans
and they disappeared among the fac
tory buildings in the neighborhood.
Nelson went to Engine Company No
2 and told Captain Wilbert II, Ro-
botham that he wanted to make
complaint. He explained the trouble
and the captain called up the Secono
Precinct police station and notineo
Captain Brown of the holdup. Police
men Mink and Weedman were hurried
to the scene of the holdup in the patrol
wagon.
Nelson had a deep cash over the
left eye, which he said was the result
of a kick. He had several dollars on
his person at the time. but the gang
failed to get it.
Just after the patrol wagon arrived at
the engine house and the policemen
were talking to Capt. Robotham the door
opened and q man entered, dragging a
young man by the coat collar. He said
his name was Michael McNulty, of los
Passaic avenue, Harrison. He said he
was crossing at the corner of Front
and Centre streets about 7:45 when a
young man came up to him n asked
him for some money. He refused to
give it up and was struck in the mouth.
McNulty closed in on his assailant.
1t was brief. McNulty came out best.
He then seized the young man by the
coat collar and took him to Engine
Company No. 2. The policemen were
still there, and after hearing McNulty's
story took the prisoner to the station
house.
He gave his name as Lawrence
Dunn, 25 years old, of 100 Baldwin
street, a driver by occupation. This
morning he was a~rraigned before
Judge Herr in the Second Precinct Po-
lice Court on complaint of McNulty,
and was held in $500 bail to await the
aotion of tha Grand .Iurv
The scene of the hold-up is an adj
mirable one for the purpose. A num-
Der of hold-ups have occurred in the
Immediate vicinity within the last four
months, rbut the robbers have man
aged to keep. out of the clutches of the
police. The police believe hat the ar
rest of Dunn is an important one, and
hope through him to capture the rest
of the gang.

NOW CUT-RATE WAR IN
FIGHT WITH BUTCHERS.
Cooperative Shop to Buy Meat at Re-
duced Rate, and Kosher Trust
Will Lower Prices.

PATTERSON, Nov. 1S.-The kosher meat
trouble here is likely to resolve itself into
a ''cut rate war; between the association,
controlling fifteen Paterson shops. and the
management of the cooperative store that
will be conducted in the interest of the
strikers"
1t was announced today that the strug-
gle is at an end, and no further violence
is to be expected. The association butchers
seem to be satisfied with conditions, and
the strikers" are jubilant because they
VIII be able to purchase meats at prices
which they consider reasonable. There will
be no further effort to interfere with the
trade of the regular shops.
More than $500 has been collected by
those in charge of the cooperative move
ment, and the shares nave been appor-
toned. A store at 10 Goodwin street has
been leased by the cooperative people.
and this place was opened for business
today.

SECRETARY TO
FORT MAY BE
DENGLER
Gray In Contest Bradley
and Avis In Senate Leader
ship Fight.

Although no word has been received
from Governor-elect John Franklin Fort,
who is resting at Lakewood, to the ef-
feet that he would be at Trenton to-
morrow for Governors day. it was said
last Tuesday that he might appear to-
morrow.
The private secretaryship to the Gov
ernor is being talked of more generally
than anything else. The Governor
elect has given no intimation as to the
personality of the man, but his silence
and the absence of any talk Of this or
that man having been approached on
the subject leads to the belief that
John P. Dengler, of East Orange, who
has been private ~stenographer to the
next chief executive for some years,
will be the man for the place, though
strenuous efforts are being made on
behalf of Edward w. Gray, secretary
to Governor Stokes.
Mr.. Dengler las had experience and
is known throughout the State. 1t was
thought for a time that Mr.. Gray
might be ~reappointed, but he may come
in for one of the berths ON the appoint
i've Civil Service Commission that he
was slated for last spring.
There may be some talk about SUI
preme Court appointments and the At
orney-Generalship, but, as stated be-
fore, unless Governor-elect Fort is on
the scene, the discussion in the cor
ridors along those lines will not
amount t. much.
The president of the Senate, it Is
practically conceded, will be Senator
Thomas j. Hillery, of Morris, leader of
the majority in the upper branch this
year. 1t is expected that when the
caucus is called Senator Hillery will
be the unanimous choice, although it
is just likely that Senator Everett
Colby may not vote for him. That ac-
ton is conjectural. however.
The leadership in the Senate viii fur
nish some discussion, the principal con-
testants being Senator William J.
Bradley, of Camden, and Senator John
Boyd Avis. of Gloucester. Senator
Bradley has the support of "DaNy
Baird, it is said, and will probably
land the honor.

FALL FATAL TO WOMAN.
Mrs. Catherine Burns Dies in Hospital
After Misstep on Porch.

Clifton avenue. died in st. James, Hos
pital yesterday as the result of injuries
sustained by a fall Friday afternoon. Mrs.
Burns was visiting friends in Jefferson
street and when she was leaving she made
a misstep and fell from the second story
porch.
Although an examination at the hos
pital revealed that only one rib had been
broken, 1t was seen from the first that she
was badly shaken up and that she had little
chance of recovery.
1t was a long time before she regained
consciousness. but was in full possession
of her mental faculties before her death.
She is survived by several children, all
grown up.

support the movement. All the meat han
died will be purchased from cooperative
shops in New York city.
1t is said that meats formerly retailed
here at the rate of fourteen cents a pound
will be sold at an average rate of nine
cents per pound in the cooperative store.
Reductions ON better qualities of meats
will be made.
The association will reduce prices in order
to compete with the cooperative shop, and
in this way the regular kosher butchers
hope to win out in the long run. They are
satisfied at any rate by the assurance
that the dissatisfied ones will give no
further trouble.
Plans for opening and conducting the CO.
operative shop We're discussed yesterday.
