HARK! HOW DOGS
D0RARk, BURGLARS
COMING TO Town

Residents In the vicinity Of Thir-
teenth avenue and Wickliffe street were
aroused shortly before IL o'clock last
night by loud barking of dogs, he pres
ence of Roundsman Seipel and even
policemen, the changing of the bell on
the patrol wagon and the wrapping
with nightsticks by the police.
OF course the dogs were responsible
for the fright originally. for Mrs. Julia
A. Meyer, who lives at Thirteenth ave-
rue and Wickliffe street, suspected that
burglars must be about and she tele-
phoned to the police station, and the
reserves were hurried to the scene.
Policemen on adjoining posts were
also informed, and the entire neighbor-
hood was aroused, but no genuine burg
lars or suspects were found.
The police record today states that
barking dogs made Mrs. Meyer believe
burglars were about, but that 1t was a
false alarm.

today Peter Backes, of Trenton, a
member. said:
'"The recommendation for a tax of
fifty cents a barrel N beer will go into
the report to the Governor If l alone
stand for 1t. I have been considering
this matter for a long time. 1 nave no
objection to the la being placed on
beer brewed elsewhere and consumed
In New Jersey"
Asked why he proposed to take beer
rather than other alcoholic beverages,
he said:
81 think it a good plan to have a
State revenue on all alcoholic drinks.
It would be a good Idea to follow the
Federal plan for revenue" he added.
Mr.. Backes, when asked as to the
truth of a rumor that he was counsel
for Weissbrod & Hess, a Philadelphia
brewery. said:
AT one time, about 1908 and 1904, I
represented George Van Dorm, attor-
ney for that brewery, In the transfer
of some property adjoining the armory
site in Trenton. That's ALL"
The commission was late in getting
together. John Howe, of Newark, F.
Frank Appleby, Of Asbury Park, and J..
Kearney Rice, of New Brunswick, were
not present.
The report of the majority was read
in proof. Commissioners Howe and
Whitbeck, who dissent from many Of
the recommendations, were offered a
number Of concessions.

BOARD TO
ASK YEARS GRACE
IN TARIFF CHANGE

OF such vital interest do the members
of the Board of Trade consider the
proposed changes in the. tariff that
members of the committee on manufac-
ture will meet late today to consider
the advisability of presenting a petit
ton to Congress, asking that body to
pass an act to the effect that all tariff
changes shall not become operativefo for a
year after their passage or at least un-
til January 1.e1910.
Such a resolution will be presented
at the regular meeting of he Board
of Trade tomorrow night, and there is
every indication that 1t will meet with
favor. The passage of such an act
would, the members say, prevent any
business disturbance, in as much rs
it would afford manufacturers an OPP
~portunity to accustom themselves Ia
the changes made.
Another important. resolution to be
offered by the river improvement COM
mittee calls for pe%titioning the Secre-
tary of War to appoint a commission
of army officers to take evidence with

birmingham, defendant in a chancery

and that for this reason it had begun
to d~islntegrate. He claimed $4,000, al

under the terms of the order, his an

 "What mill" he said. with scorn Why. could eat the meal quicker than this ramshackle old concern of yours can grind it.'

 ''Till l starved" was the trenchant answer.
