HUNT FOR DESPERATE
~JAIL-BREAKER e
Passaic Fugitive Said to Have wife in
This City, but Police Can't
Get Cine.

Though the Paterson police authorities
think that John r. Richardson, alias
Lyons, alias Cummings, came to this city
after breaking out of the Passatc County
jail last Friday with William Higgins, a
"trusty' in the penitentiary. Captain Car
rol Is of the opinion hat the man headed
in another direction. Local detectives are
on the lookout for the man. Under Sheriff
William j. Downey and Constable John
of Paterson. came to Newark for
a short time yesterday and furnished the
authorities here with pictures of the man,
who is known to have lived here at one
that.
That Richardson will not be taken with
out a struggle Is the opinion of the local
police, and 1t is safe to say that there
will be gun-play II Richardson sees the
police first. One. Brown, who was ar
rested with Richardson, as they were try
ing to rob a small jewelry store in Pat
erson a month or so ago has a wife who
lived In this city up till the middle Of
June, when she gave birth to a child.
While here the couple lived at so Bank
street, but have not lived there for some
time.
The Paterson police told Captain Carroll
that Richardson had n wife living in
this city, but the police are unable to
learn where Richardson resided here.
Every effort will be made, by the Pat
erson police to run down the jail breaker.
Sheriff Van MORT, Of Passalc County, last
night offered a reward Of $3.50 for the cap
ture Of the man. A request will be made
to the Board Of Supervisors to also offer
a reward.

EDITORIAL lNCENSES
ALDERMAN H0LZNER.
Rises to Say That Statements Concern
ing Public Building Committee
Are Unwarranted.

Adolph Holzner, chairman of the
nublic buildings committee of Common
Council, is much disturbed over an edi-
torial that appeared last sunday IN a
local paper stating that before the CITY
Hall Commission turned the hall over
to Common Council, the building was
kept in order by a force of nineteen
people against a force of forty-seven
now employed by the Council to do the
work. (.
.This is a misstatement," declared
Mr.. Holzner to an EVENING STAR re-
porter today, and was made, no doubt
to discredit the public buildings com
mittee. of which ] am the chairman
The statement that the commission en-
ployed but nineteen people is false, as
is shown by their pay roll now In my
hands, n by comparison will show
that the commission paid as much per
week to keep the hall in order as we
do now.
They employed thirty-eight people
and their pay roll amounted to about
s400 per week; our pay roll last week
was 1874 and we have a number of ad-
ditional people at that.
1T was understood that the commits
sion was to turn the hall over to the
Council on the first of February, and
on that date / was Informed that the
commission could not turn the people
In their employ over to us, so with
George Woodruff, superintendent of the
building under the commissioner went
through the building on that day. and
as fast as he discharged the employees
/ hired them temporarily, at the same
salaries. Since then we have added
six additional women cleaners, one
cleaner TO keep the marble in
repair, and two men to clean the 600
brass cuspidors In the building, that
were looking filthy from the lack of
proper attention. The ordinance called
for an assistant engineer and we APP
pointed one, thus adding but ten peo-
pie to the staff employed by the COM
mission, to do much work that the
commission knew nothing about. For
instance, a number of Offices have been
added to the building, the superin-
tendent of combustibles, two rooms for
the city library, the large room on the
fourth floor used by the Board of Edu-
cation for a lecture room. and several
offices In the basement. all necessitating
additional cleaning. Besides that, the
main stairway in the hall is thoroughly
scrubbed twice a day, and that itself IS
a large undertaking. In other words,
we employ forty-eight people against
the thirty-eight or nine employed by
the commission. to do much extra work
that the commission had not to do, and
our pay roll shows that II is not cost
Ing the city any more. If proof of this
statement Is needed. | have the pay
roll of the commission and can verify
what | say.
IF the people who write stories
would use common sense and investi-,
gate before they jump at conclusions
and make statements that mislead the
reading public and put the city officials
in a false light, II would be better for
all concerned" added the Alderman.
The Alderman said he would be glad
to furnish the evidence TO refute the
story.
