There is no doubt about that, for the

Erroneous Impression.
An opinion seems to prevail in some
eastern communities that the railroads
have beer keeping down expenses of
maintenance so much that the rolling
stock Is in bad condition and not in
shape for the increase of business,
which Is sure to come. That this is
not the case is shown by the state

GERMAN PRINCE,
IN COURT SCANDAL,
IS UNDER ARREST
Taken from Sick=bed for Secret
Crimes Committed Twenty
five Years Ago.

BERLIN, May S.-Prince Philip Zu
Gutenberg was today placed under
actual arrest. The crown prosecutor
took this step as result of the testi-
mony given by two men at the princes
bedside yesterday to the effect that
Prince Zu Gutenberg had been guilty of
wrongful actions with them twenty-five
years ago.
Prince Zu Gutenberg was involved In
the court scandal in Berlin that grew
out of the charges brought by Maxi
milan Harden, editor of Die Zukunft,
last summer. At the second Harden
trial the court declared that all the
charges made by Harden were without
foundation. After the conclusion of the
Harden case the public prosecutor
started proceedings against Zu Eulen-
berg.
The prince was at one time con-
fidential friend of Emperor William.
The prince had been nearer to his
majesty during the greater part of his
reign than any other German subject

ALDERMEN FIGHT
BROAD ST. PAVING
At S86Q,O0O COST
Tell Board of Works Committee
Work Would Be Waste of
City's Money.

With view of further discussing
the proposed paving of Broad street.
from Belleville avenue to Lincoln park,
the members of the finance committee
of the Common Council and of the
Board of Works met last night in the
office of the comptroller. The alder
men reiterated their former stand that
to do the paving would be a waste
of money. The pavement advocated
by the Board of Works is wood block,
and the cost would be approximately
$S60,000. Chief Engineer Morris R.
Sherrerd said that if the present pave
ment was used as foundation between
the tracks the cost of the paving could
be reduced $150,000.
The question of repaving Market and
Bowery streets, from the Court House
to Lentz avenue, and also Ferry street
for it's entire length, was also dis
cussed. the cost of this proposed work
being in the neighborhood of $1S3,000.
OF the amounts named the city
would have to pay 20 per cent. and
the remainder would be assessed on
the property owners.
The matter win be put UP to the
finance committee when the budget is
discussed.

Especial to the Evening star.l

MANASQUAN, May S.-The First
National Bank, wrecked by its presi-
dent Morgan Delaney Magee, whose
suicide brought to light a loan of $175,-
600 by the institution to the New Jer-
sew and West Virginia Bridge COM
pany, now bankrupt, will recover less
than $4,000 of this sum. The stockhold-
ers of the bank will be called upon TO
make good the shortage of Sl5O,OOo.
The combined losses will not only cat
up the surplus of 100000, but the
probability is that the stockholders Will
have to pay more than they did for
their stock when the bank was or
ganized.
The receiver of the bridge concern
expressed the belief today that creditors
will not receive more than ID per cent.
of their claims at most. Despite this,
however, many business men of the
town believe that the bank will recover
dollar for dollar from the concern in
some unknown manner, so great was
their trust in the defaulting president.
Magee was treasurer of the Manas-
quan Building and Loan Association,
and the funds of that organization are
tied up in the wrecked bank.
