NEWARK COUNCIL AFTER
KAKEOUT RESERVOIR SITE.
Potable Water Commission to Be
Tuesday in Behalf of City's
Future Need.

The Common Council made haste last
night to have set aside for the use of
Newark land at the Kakeout reservoir
site upon which the Passaic Water, 8
subsidiary of the East Jersey Water
Company. had set its eyes. The first
step in reserving this site for the city's
future needs was taken by passing a
resolution authorizing City Counse
James r. Nugent to make formal ap-
~plication, in the name of the city, for
The reservation of the watershed.
The application will be made to the
Potable Water Commission at Trenton
next Tuesday. Some time ago, the Pas
sale Water Company, which furnishes
water to this city of Paterson, applied
for the same site. Last Tuesday Mr..
Nugent protested against granting the
water company's application, to the
Potable Water Commission, and it is
understood that the commission will
look with favor upon the claim which
Newark will present.
The land desired for a new water
site is on Stone House Creek, west of
Butler. Mr.. Nugent pointed out to the
commission that the granting of the
right to use this watershed to the Pas
sale Water Company would be q
stumbling block in the Development of
Newark's Pequannock watershed up
ply.

MORE THAN 1000 DOGS
ENTERED AT GARDEN,

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-With more
than two thousand dogs on the
benches, the annual show of the West
minister Kennel Club will open in Madi-
son Square Garden on Tuesday. 1t
bids fair to be one of the best ever held
by the club. The classification of the
dogs is about the same as last year,
and the value of the prizes is about the
same-the largest given by any club in
this country. There will, however, be
some new breeds, or, rather, some
new specimens of old breeds, for
there will be on the benches some
of the old Irish wolfhounds which
have not been seen In this country in
many years. This is due to the effort
being made to revive the breed in Ire
land, and the dogs have been secured
only with a great deal of trouble and
expense.
There will be q team of Esquimau
dogs also. This breed has heretofore
been shown in the miscellaneous class,
but there will be several specimens In
classes by themselves this year, and
after the awards are all made and the
ring is cleared they will be shown
hitched up on the same day as the
packs of foxhounds, of which there Is
a larger entry list than ever before
The beagle packs will also be shown
on the same day. In addition to the
regular prizes there will be more spe-
Gals than in n previous show, anc
a good many of them are to be won
outright.

WORDY WAR OVER
FIXING THE PAY
OF AN OFFICIAL
Salary of Collector Frank c.
GOble, of Verona Borough,
Placed at 1925 a Year.

A heated and lengthy discussion took
place at the Verona Council meeting
last night over. fixing the salary OF
Frank C. Goble, collector the borough.
The matter had been laid owe from the
last meeting, and the finance commit
tee recommended that the amount be
fixed at 1926. 1t was finally SO passed
by a vote of 4 to 2.
Another bone of contention was the
improving of the estate of James
Avery, owned by the borough, under a
tax title. 1t was claimed by Council
man Condit that the old shacks on the
place were a detriment to the surround
ing property, and, he said. If the ten
ant, James Olden, were given time to
vacate, the borough could get more
rent from the land without the build
ings. Action was deferred for two
weeks.
1t was voted to request Assemblyman
William Fellowes Morgan to try to
have a law passed legalizing the as
sessment by the borough for the stone
sidewalk in Bloomfield avenue. An
ordinance was passed on first reading
providing for the safety of the public
by compelling owners of abutting prop
erty to keep the ice removed from side
walks, or covering the ice with sand
or ashes. A fine of $40 for not comply
ing with the ordinance will be imposed.

Punishment of Saloon Men
Who Violate the Law.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Feb. Scar
dinal Gibbons, who is visiting this
city, in an interview on prohibition,
published today, said:
81 am persuaded that it is practical
ly impossible to put prohibition into
effect in any large community, and
the best means therefore to promote
temperance Is to limit the number of
saloons by high license. I would be
in favor of infiicting severe punish
ment on the proprietors of saloons who
violate the law in the first instance;
and in the second instance of viola
ton l would withdraw the license al
together.
I'm the country places l would sug-
gest- local option as an excellent means
for the repression of intemperance If,
in the judgment of the majority of
the voters the sale of liquor should
be entirely eliminated.
Laws like prohibition that are GER
tain to be violated had best not be
made, for %incessant violation draws
down upon them disrespect."

SLAYER DRAGGED

Courtroom.

SUNBURY, Pa, Feb. 8.-Afnid wild

completely filled courtroom No. 3
Henry Fisher, murderer of Mrs. Sarah
Klinger in Shamokin, and Stany Mar
cavage, convicted slayer of Charles Ye-
~salonis, a Springfield cobbler, were SEN
fenced to death on the scaffold by
Judge Savidge yesterday.
Fisher had to be dragged from his
cell to the prisoners dock, and While
the sentence was pronounced he
gnawed 1t the oaken arms and back
of the chair like a wild beast.
Marcavage listened to the decree with
a smile on his face, and asserted that
he would go to the gallows iaug ing,
because he was innocent of the awful
crime charged against him.
When word was sent to Jail to have
the murderers taken before h court
Turnkey Theodore Pulaski went to
Fishers cell in The dungeon, and, plac-
ing handouts on the man, attemp ed to
carry put instructions. Fisher resisted
and badly bit the turkeys hands.
Sheriff Taby dragged the desperate
murderer, handcuffed, coatless and hat
less, from the cell, through the corri-
doris and along the streets of the town
until the Court House was reached. =
All along the way the slayer yelled at
the top of his voice, and hundreds of
people were attracted by his cries. At
the bottom of the flight of steps lead
ing to the Court House Fisher made a
desperate effort to break away from
his captors, and 1t was found neces-
sary to put another pair of handouts
on his wrists in order to pull him up
the steps.
Scratching, biting. kicking and ours
ing, he was dragged into the courtroom
and tied to a chair facing the tribunal
While being sentenced he sank his
teeth into the arms and back of the
chair. When asked If he had anything
to say he bit more ferociously into
the wood and refused to answer.
The murderer was then taken back
to Jail without resisting. and was un-
dressed and given a new suit OF
clothes.
