Iresentative Burton. of ohio, today
submitted to the house his minority
report as member from the bank

ing from the majority report, which
recommended the passage of the Fow-
Ter currency bill. Mr Burton's re-
port concerns itseu wholly with thu

losing it, and makes no reference "a
either the Aldrich bill or the Williams
bill, the latter having been recon-
mended by the democratic members in
minority report.
In his report Mr. Burton says that
he does not regard the passage Of the
Fowler bin as either practicable, or
desirable at this time The BILL he
says. makes elaborate provision for
the changed conditions which would

POOR OF THE STATE
ARE BETTER HOUSED

Trenton, Dec. 12-The annual re-
port of the New Jersey Board of
Tenement House Supervision, sent
to the governor yesterday, shows
that the financial depression had a
serious effect on building operations
in the state, particularly the building
of tenem ent house properties. Dur
ing the fiscal year of 1906-07 the
board approved plans and supervised
the erection of 1888 new tenement
houses. at a total cost of $12,023,-
900, while during the fiscal year
just ended plans were approved for
only TIA tenement houses, costing
$1,000, 900.
The board says that the condition
of the poor has been vastly improved
during the last five years that the
tenement house law has been in eff
feet in New Jersey. Hudson, Essex
and Passaic counties lead in tene-
ment house construction.

The steamer Kyleakin is at the

BILE to heavy fines for any Cinnamon
that escape on United States terri
tory. Therefore the Chinese crew
on the Kyleakin is we'll guarded by

This steamer, which halls from

dollars, has often been in this port
before with It's Chinese crew and
upon those occasions the crew has
been watched by local detectives
Customs Inspector w. w. Oliver
is In charge of the vessel while it is
discharging here. The m embers of
the crew are kept under constant
watch by the captain as we'll as by
the custom officials.
The treatment to which Chinese
members of some crews are often
subjected in order to maintain disci-
pline, causes them to leave ships
sometimes while in American wa
ters. They have even been known
to jump from vessels when near land
and make desperate attempts to
swim to shore.

The police this noon received word

TEACHERS WILL
GET THEIR PAY
Secretary of School Board
Finds $4,000 Received
from the State.
NOT IN SALARY ACCOUNT

Secretary Jesse Colyer, of the
Board of Education, announced this
morning that the teachers in the
public schools need not worry any
longer about their Christmas money,
as there is enough in the salary ac-
count to make up the pay roll for
the next two months.
AS was told in yesterdays NEWS,
Mr.. Colyer remarked at meeting of
the Board of Education, Thursday
night, that there was a possibility
of the funds being insufficient as the
salary account was low, and that the
money from the state was held up.
Mr.. Colyer made an examination
of his accounts yesterday and found
that $4,000 which was received
from the State Board last June, with
the proviso that 1t must not be used
until after July /, which was the be-
ginning Of the new fiscal year, was
available. as through an oversight 1t
had not been credited to the present
salary account. This money insures
the teachers their salaries for at
least two months, at the end of
which time possibly the other state
money will be here.

Judge Adrian Lyon has allowed
Joseph E. Stricken rule to show
cause why a new trial should not be
granted in the case of John Shingola
against John Szunyog. 1t will be ar
gued next Thursday.
In the district court last Thursday

obtained by default by Shingola

in a sworn statement which he has
made and which is on record with
Jesse Colyer, clerk of the district
court.
Judge Lyon has ordered that all
proceedings under the said judgment
be stayed until further order of the
court.

the suit.
L afo fnr ~ fy hn 0f n oN-ff
that although he paid Mr.. Peterson
| $40 to settle the case he appeared at
court at 10 o'clock and was told by
Peterson that nothing would be done.
The case was adjourned until Tnurs-
day.
When Szunyog learned Thursday
afternoon that a judgment had been
rendered against him, he states fur
ther that he went to Mr.. Peterson and
asked what 1t meant; and that Mr..
Peterson then gave him receipt

to read or write English and until
yesterday did not know the exact
meaning of the receipt. He also sets
forth in his affidavit that he never
agreed to pay Mr.. Shingola the mon

other sum for which reason he de-

A rush in the Christmas mail al

evidence each year at this season,
has started. Postmaster Tice has al
ready found it necessary TO add one
substitute clerk-carrier, Edward
Kinsey. He has John Howard Hope
and Robert Mallory in readiness,
when the rusn becomes greater.
Despite a belief that the financial
depression has slightly hurt the sale
of novelties and other articles for
Christmas presents, there are indica-
tions that the Christmas mail through
the local Office viii be larger than in
former years.
Last year the office experienced a
shortage in help and Postmaster Tice
was compelled to leave his Office and
work with his clerks. They worked
day and night for three or four days,
just prior to Christmas.
Some of the carriers are now car
rying fifty and sixty pounds of mail.
At other times OF the year they usual
ly carry about tbirty-five pounds.
j. Howard Hope, one of the new
substitutes, has done service before,
but Robert Mallory will have to be
made familiar with the work before
the large rush starts. These clerk
carriers were added to the force as
substitutes on November /.
With this additional help the rush
will be well attended to this year, no
matter how great it may be-

express companies are also COM
mencing to feel a slight increase in
business. They are prepared to put
on extra wagons and men when the
rush starts. They anticipate a busy

THREAT MADE,
SAYS PASTOR
But Accused Member of Hun
garian Church Denies Story
of Reported Burning.
TROUBLE OVER 0RGANIST
Father Gross Alleges That
Stumpf Threatened Him
and the Edifice.

Michael Stumpf, proprietor of a
saloon at 95 Charles street, was ar
raigned before Recorder Pickersgill
last night on charge of threatening
to kill Rev. Francis Gross and burn
the Hungarian Catholic church at 81
Catherine street, of which the latter
is pastor.
Stumpf denied the charges and
said that he thought there would be
cessation of the troubles among
the organist, some of the congrega-
ton and the pastor. At the request
of Joseph e. Stricken, counsel for the
pastor, Recorder Pickersgill adjourn
ed the case until Monday night.
1t seems that there has been a dis
pute in the church over Alex Moko-
vitz, the organist. Father Gross re-
fused to allow the organist, who is
favored by Stumpf to play and the
latter, the father averred ON his oath
declared that he would do violence to
| the priest and destroy the property
| If his favorite musician was not al
lowed to play again tomorrow.
Mokovitz, the organist, 1t Is under
stood, has left town, which II true,
means that there is not likely to be
any further dissension among the
members of the congregation, as oc-
Cured last Sunday.
A replevin suit was to have been
instituted against the organist for
some of the altar raphernalia, but
as 1t is said that these article are now
in the possession of Father Gross, NO
action is likely to be taken.
Father Gross took a prominent part
in the settlement of the strike at the
National Fireproofing Company IS
plants at Keasbey, several weeks ago,
urging the men to refrain from vio-
| lence and to return to work. His
attitude then is thought to have en-
Uttered Stumpf and others of his
congregation against him.
