said, to go TO work. Both men went down
Commerce street and they met a man at
the corner of Mulberry street, who, dis
playing a roll Of bills, said he wanted a
trustworthy man. He represented him
self as the strangers employer.
francesca was asked if he had any
money he could put up as surety. He
said he had $40 at home, and then he
went there and got 1t. The two strangers
accompanied him.
The unsuspecting Italian turned over
$40 to the would-be employer, and he CAV
a small bundle, which, he said, con-
tanned $500 worth OF gold. He was sent
to an address in Market street to deliver
the package. When he got to the place

one of the competitors, the other was g
chicken and it gave the veteran bluecoat
a merry chase and a hard struggle before
it surrendered.
Kress was game, however, but was put
out when Henry Dettenger, a butcher,
whose place is within u few hundred feet
of the station, claimed the chicken.
IF ! knew that before | would have
let the thing alone said Kress. "To
think that after ] went through all thai
trouble | had to turn the chicken over to
the party who owned it," and then Kress
wiped away n tear.
The reserve men claimed that If the
chicken, was not claimed Matron Hughes
would be asked to furnish the squad with
a pot of home made chicken soup.
Kress, on the other hand, raised a claim
that he would take it home and secure
premiums for the fresh eggs. The Others
interested, including the captain and the
sergeant, stated that it would be kept
as a pet and mascot.

Away and Wins.

daughters occupied the attention of JUS
tice of the Peace Charles Hafstrom's court

tention that the daughters had removed
household goods from the house to the

moved the goods, but the only furniture
belonging to the plaintiff was the bedstead'
they claimed. After hearing half a dozen
witnesses. the justice found a verdict for
the plaintiff for So and court costs.

alauer. a Newark lawyer, represented

a lawyer" remarked the justice.
II have the proof all right, and
We'll now. produce It," excitedly re-
piled the justice.

lieeman back there can verify what |
say replied the attorney, and the JUS
tice. after duerying the officer. who knew

but in Vain.

When the divorce case of Welt
against Welt, which was on the calen-
dar before Vice Chancellor Emery to-
day, was called, Lawyer Greenberg,
for the defendant. announced that his
client was too busy and could mot be
present. He asked for a continuance.

ton and instructed the lawyer to no.

cellor that his client had requested him
to withdraw the case, and that he
pleaded mon vult."

the confidence of the detectives, who
| obtained from her a key to the from
door oil the house. With this the de.
tectives gained an entrance to the
house and knocked at Mrs. Hersterfer's
room. A voice asked, "Who is there?'
and the detectives replied by putting
their shoulders against the door ano
breaking into the apartments, where
Welt was found.
When the defendants lawyer made
his announcement today of his CLIENT

NUTLEY SCHOOL BOARD
MAN HITS COMMITTEES.
Arthur Stager Says They Are Unfair as
at Present Conducted and
Resigns.

Commissioner Arthur Stager, OF the Nut
Fey Board Ct Education, created quite a
stir ct the meeting OF that body last night
when he came out for the adjustment Of
ell committees. The committees he said.
were useless, inasrnuch as they really
meant "one-man" rule. The chairmen OF
che various committees proceed with the
duties Of the committee and ignore the
p.her members. Mr.. Staser then resigned
from the building committee, but no action
WAS taken. He said he belonged to sew
Feral committees, but he knew nothing OF
&hs work except what he heard on the out
hide.
DR.. Philhower. us Chairman of the curri
pulum committee, thought Mr.. Stager was
biting at him. He said he may have at
esnded to some small matters unknown to
khe other member Of the committee.
Chairman Richard Booth. of the building
committee, was equally certain that Mr.,
Etager was referring to him. He explained
THAT since the last meeting some former
pupils Of the High School and some of tbs
present pupils had asked him for permits
sion 10 use the High School auditorium for
basketball, which the Alumni Athletic
Association was taking up Mr. Bootr
said he had told the young men that thsi
matter would have - come UP before the
coard, but pending a decision he voubl
grant the permission, In the same way
permission was given to use the library In
PARK School. subject to the approval cf
the board.
Commissioner Thomas O'Neil said that
when he first heard of the request Of the
High School pupils he favored granting 1t,
but since then he had changed his mind.
He did not think they We're any more en-
titled to the use of the school building for
such urposes than any other body of
young men.
The discussion ended without any action,
and when Commissioner Stager presented
his resignation from the building committee
no action was taken.
Superintendent of Schools A. B. Mere
dith recommended that a bronze tablet be
placed in Park School to commemorate
the part played by the Nutley veterans in
fhe Civil War. The cost of this, he sug-
gested. should he betrayed by popular sub
scription. This was In accordance with a
suggestion of the Women's Public School
