CITY CAN'T BUY
 A BAG OF OATS

New York Aug. 12-The financial situation in West New York, \. d., is desperate. The town cannot even get a bag of oats to feed its fire horses. Joseph Smith, the engine driv- CT, had to borrow yesterdays supply from a teamster friend who likes horses too well to see them go hungry. The police lave not been paid for q month an1 school teachers and janitr9 have not been paid for two months.
 Bankers are clamoring for their in terest on bonds, loans and improve ment certificates and contractors are calling for money also
 On top of all this the members of the Board of Education are under in dictment and Justice Swaysee has or dered a summary investigation of the towns affairs and property owners have asked the courts to review the action of the council in confirming the assessment commissioners report on a $200,000 lateral sewer, and the chancery court has tied up the assess ment and bond funds which the town still has. It may lose the team of horses which it cannot feed, for it has not paid the $9O0 they were to cost.

 Honeycutt was here all day yester- day trying to persuade Keys to go with him, and about 6 o'clock went to Keys house and demanded that he come and go with him, whereupon Keys wife ordered him off the place. Honeycutt drew his revolver, and at the same time Keys ran for his shot gun and emptied the contents of both barrels at Honeycutt, tearing off his right shoulder.

the two or three rear cars were practical.
ly empty Most of the Brooklyn passen-
gers left the trains at the downtown sta
tons in Manhattan after a short and fast
"trip.
Whether the diversion of traffic bv this
new line caused any considerable lessening
of the morning crush on the Brool<lyn
bridge is doubtful. The usual DELAYS il
reaching the city by that method were ex-
perienced by passengers this morning.
One reason for the absence of a crowd
from the tunnel service is the fact tina
