POSTMASTER REMOVED.
Investigation of Accounts Shows
Shortage Of Cash on Hand.


Shortage Of Cash on Hand.
A United States postoffice inspector
has been at work in the Tolna post
Office, on application of one of the
bondsmen for the postmaster, to
straighten out and look over the &C.
counts of the Office. The bondsmen
became suspicious of the doings of
Edward Hollander. the postmaster,
some time ago, when the latter ex-
changed box containing $50 stamped
envelopes in one of the local stores
for some clothing. AS was anticipat-
ed, shortage of $466.75 was found
by the inspector, which the bondsmen.
Of course, are required to pay. Theo-
dore Duhr was appointed temporary
postmaster in place of Edward Hol-
lander, who of course, was requested
to resign by the inspector. The bonds
men are T. o. Lundaby, Harry L.
Knaus. Nels Halverson. Leon Tur-
cote, NJ. Cutting. Mr.. Ho!lander
could not give any definite reason for
the shortage in his Office, claiming at
one time he was sick and did not
know, and again that his assistants
were not careful enough. Mr.. Hol-
lander is in pitiable condition, being
66 years old and SO crippled up that
he cannot walk unless aided by a
crutch. He is a bachelor and alone
in the world, and it is not supposed
that the bondsmen will commence
any prosecution against the lonely old
man.

a strong and winning fight in the hear

The voice of the mothers of New

voices of both clergy and the doctors of

urgent necessity of ending the drug
evil in New Jersey without further de-

of civic organizations made their po-

Strongly Opposed at
Hearing.
IRON a stan correspondent.l

TRENTON. March 17.-Assembly
committee on miscellaneous business,
composed of Assemblymen Morgan,
Smalley, Fake, Tumulty and Blohm.
had a hearing last night on the bill
introduced by Assemblyman Smith, Of
Essex County, at the request of the
public playground commissioners of
East Orange, providing that the COM
missioners may lease the public play
grounds for the purpose of having out
door exhibitions. games or contests at
which admission fees may be charged.
Lincoln Rowley, representing the
East Orange Playground Commission,
said that the bill is designed to permit
the city of East Orange TO acquire
money to maintain the playground and
pay for the cost Of a grandstand.
He said he knew of no objections
to the bill from the citizens of East
Orange. Assemblyman Tumulty asked
If the bill would not open the way for
the renting of the ground to a pro-
fessional ball team for the season and
other abuses. Mr.. Rowley replied that
the people trusted the commissioners,
and that they would not abuse the
privilege asked in any such way.
Edward A. Ransom, jr, of Jersey
City, opposed the bill. He said that
the people of Jersey City did not want
any law which would rob the public
of the unrestricted use of the play
grounds.
William Strock. of East Orange, said
Mr.. Rowley misstated the facts when
he said 4that the people of that city
did not oppose the bill. = cid that
nobody knew of the bin until after 1t
had been introduced, and that since
then there had been opposition to it
from my sources.
He said the people of East Orange
do not want any grandstand erected
and are opposed TO any scheme TO rent
the playground.
There will be q further hearing on
the bill, at which Eugene Kinkead and
John Mcknight. of the public school
athletic committee. of Jersey City, will
be heard in opposition to the bill.
Mr.. Strock promises to have a large
delegation of East Orange residents to
back his opposition at the next hear

RAILROAD
Bulletin.
TME STANDARD RAILROAD OF AMERICy

$40 millions of dollars is a stupendous sum. In gold
eagles the bulk of such a sum is incouceivable. Ii is greater
than the total revenues of the United States Government for
1895, and nearly half as much as the total Government receipts
for 1902. This is the gross amount earned by the operation of
the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1907. To earn this vast sum it
required the carving of 435,o64, 1856 tons of freight and
I53,o47.o46 passengers. This is the largest volume of traffic
ever handled by any railroad of the world in one year aud it
yielded the largest gross revenue.
The large proportion of this mighty sum was paid out in
salaries and wages to over one hundred thousand employees, III
dividends to ffty-fve thousand stockholders, TO mills and
factories, and other agencies for equipment and supplies, and
gave work to the hands aud bread to the mouths of millions OF
people.
Il staggers the imagination to conceive OF the multitude
of people who have been benefited by the distribution OF this
magnificent bounty, and the resulting good to the county and
the people from the operation of so great an institution is
immeasurab1e.
1t adds to the satisfaction of travel over a matchess roadway
in the best built cars and under every known safeguard, to
think that the average earning power of the I, LIS miles OF
this great system was $4,000 per mile.
From any and every point of view the Pennsylvania is

The hearing on the bill was attended
by members OF both houses, and the
arguments of the adherents Of THE
EVENING STARS bill were heard
with the closest attention. Applause
greeted the eloquent ad ~1sesses made
in favor of the bill.
The only opposition that developed
was, to a certain degree. negative in
character. This opposition came frosa

the measure directed against the use

chief objection centred about the re-

derivatives as eXemplified in paregorlc.
