COM MITTEE IS
COMPLETING
REPORT
Hahn Investigators Meet
to Formulate Statement
and Recommendations.

Members of the Hahn investigating
committee of last years Legislature
met in the office of their chairman,
Simon Hahn, in the Globe building,
this afternoon, and went into executive
session to prepare their report which
will be submitted to the present l.esis-
lature in a week or two.
1t is understood that the report will
deal at length with the management
of the Railway Reformatory and that
the unanimous sentiment of the
probers is that the dungeons ct this
institution should be abolished.
The members believe that, as the Of
ficials at the State prison found 1t ex-
pedient to do away with these bacoar-
Gus relies, there Is no eason that they
should be continued in a place where
young men are sent for reformation.
Great stress will be laid on the fact
give the necessary personal super
vision to their duties, depending great
lyt on their subordinates to carry out
what these official heads are paid to Go.
A separate building for women at
the Trenton prison will be urged so
that female convicts will in no way
come in contact with the male pris-
oners.
Contracts for prison necessities will
be commented upon, and the system
of teaching ~convicts trades while In
prison will be recommended.
1t is also probable thai the COM
mittee will commend the State Village
for Epileptics at Sklllman for its ex-
cellent condition and efficient manage
ment.
The State Hospital for the Insane at
Morris Plains is also likely to receive
a clean bill of health, and in view OF
the fact that a change has been made
in the medical director and warden OF
the Trenton Hospital, criticism of that
institution, it is believed, will not be
severe.
An entire reorganization of the Statt
Board of Health along the lines SUI
gested by United States District Cour
| Judge William NJ. Lanning is like
" to be recommended, and it is ex
pected that the report will call the at
tentioh of the Legislature to the com
mittee's recommendation in its pre-

matters should be placed in charg'
of a commissioner instead of a boarS

MORGAN FIGHT
DUE TO OLD
GRUDGE
Say Comptroller Ousted
West to Make Place for
Brother in=laW.
Especial to the Evening star.l

CAMDEN, Jan. 1S.-Henry J. West
former president of the State Board OF
Taxation, who is a candidate for state
Comptroller to succeed j. Willard Nor
gan, has long been one of the most
popular Republicans in Camden County
and has done much toward making
Gloucester City Republican. When Mr..
West was elected sheriff he was given
one of the largest majorities ever re-
turned for an official in Camden County.
Then the Republicans of Camden
County have not forgotten how West
was deposed as president and member
of the State Board OF Taxation three
years ago. At that time Mr.. West had
just been reappolnted for a full term to
the State Board of Taxation by Governor
Murphy. When Governor Stokes took
office he advocated the creation of the
present State Board of Equalization of
Taxation. The Legislature enacted the
necessary legislation, and Camden
County expected that Mr.. West would
be a member of that board. He was
a candidate for that position, but he
was turned down for e. Amber Arm
strong, brother-in-law of Mr.. Morgan,
and it is reliably reported that State
Comptroller Morgan advocated the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Armstrong.
1t may be that the candidacy II Mr.
West for Comptroller had it's inception
from that incident. Mr.. West has the
Endorsement of the four members OF
the Legislature from Camden County,
and is strongly backed by the leading
business men and politicians of this
community.
Mr.. West is a retired business man,
while Mr.. Morgan is an exceptionally
busy a being connected as a dlre2-
tor with several financial and Business
corporations and also being the 1ucl-
tor of the Reading Railroad in So1th
Jersey.

PERKINS LOSES
IN PLANS
u
Wanted to Recover $4,000
From Local Educational
Board.
Especial to the Evening start

TRENTON, Jan. 1S.-An opinion was
filed in the United States Court today
by Judge William NJ. Lanning in the
suit brought by Architect Frank e.
Perkins against the Newark Board of
Education, in which he sought to re-
cover $4,000 for plans for the new High
School. The opinion is against Per-
kins.
In his opinion. Judge Lanning says:
81 think the defendant had no power to
enter to a contract with the plaintiff to
prepare plans for n building that would
cost $500, 900 or more, when only $780,
900 had been appropriated for the school
site and procuring of plans and specif-
cations for the school.
The powers of the defendant are
statutory only. 1t can make no valid
contract for the building of a school
house or for the expenditure of public
ney for any object connected with
the proposed building or s~choolhouse,
except as that contract is supported
by statutory authority. The plaintiff,
before doing work at the request of
the defendant, was bound to inquire
as to the nature of the defendants
power to make a contract with him..
Had he done so he would have found
that. while he was asked by sections
20 of the program issued by the de-
fendant to prepare plans for a build
Ing that would not exceed in cost for
general construction, excavation and
rough grading the sum of $400,9 900, ex-
elusive of heating, vcntilating pant,
gas fitting, electrical work. and fiirni-
ture, the authorities of the city had
provided only $200.0O for the purchase
of the site and procuring plans.
ut is argued by the plaintiffs course
that the authorities expected to make
further supplemental appropriations.
The court, however, can base its act
on no such assumptions. Upon the
evidence we find the defendant had no
authority to ask for plans for a build
ing that would exceed. with he cost
Of site and plans, the sum of 5000, 900. :"

the mel who took upon themselves
the task of taking the boys bodies to
their heartbroken parents.
DR.. McCabe is acting county ply
stefan in place of DR.. Daniel Elliott
who is away, and his presence on the
scene permitted the bodies to be re-
moved without having first to be sent
to the morgue.
Young Rowle this afternoon told the
story of the boys going to the pond
shortly before noon o and said that
hey had no fear that the ice would CIV
tway, and, in fact, he said that this
vas never mentioned. The first thing
re knew he felt the ice "tip" under him
md he found himself in the cold water.
When he realized his danger he made
frantic efforts to grab the thin coating
of ice, and in this way was brought
closer to shore by his efforts. When he
looked around for his companions they
were not to be seen.
The dead boys and Rowle attended
the Fifteenth Avenue School ana were
playmates for a long time.
Long after the bodies were carried
out and taken to their homes women
of the -neighborhood stood around the
pond sobbing and quietly shedding
tears over the tragedy. The pond has
been the ~playspot for the children OF
that locality for years.
Crowds from the downtown section
of the city made a trip to the fatal
spot and many were the remarks heard
against the workmen who stood by and
allowed the three little fellows to meet
such an untimely death.

MUSTOL FOUND
GUILTY OF
MURDER
Sentenced to 80 Years. May
Now Be Tried for
Sending Bomb.

PATERSON, Jan. 1S.-After delibera-
ting two hours and a half, the jury in
the case of Joseph Mustol, the young
Italian who has been on trial for the
past five days for the murder of Michae
Monachino. came into court at 7:lS
o'clock last night and rendered a YER
dict of murder in the second degree
! Mustol was Immediately sentenced to
thirty years at hard labor in State
prison.
The question now arises, will Mustol
be tried on the indictment charging him
with the murder of Justice of the Peace
Robert Cortese, who was killed by the
explosion of an Internal machine? This
machine was shipped by express from
Newark. Prosecutor Eugene Finley Is
disappointed at the finding of he jury,
as he, as well as Mustol's counsel, con-
tended that If Mustol was not guilty Of
murder in the first degree he should be
acquitted. Mr.. Finley was asked if he
would move the Indictment in the Cor
tese case and he answered that at this
time he is not prepared to say If he will.
The motive for the murder of Mona
chino, it was commended, was fear on
the part of Mustol hat Monachino
would betray him as the murderer of
Cortese. The widow of Monachino tes-
titled to having heard Mustol say to
her husband n night, II have put my
life In your hands. You know I am
the man who killed Cortese."
The verdict was unusual, in view of
the facts in the case. There was no
question hat the killing of Monachino
was deliberate and premeditated. He
was lured to the mountain and there
met his fate. Justice Bergen, in charg-
ing the jury, indicated that there was
room for q verdict of second degree
when he declared that a case of pre-
meditation would be clearly established
it had been shown by the State that
the bullets discharged had been aimed
at a vital spot. Later, in sentencing the
convicted man, Justice Bergen said that
in his mind there existed no doubt of
the deliberateness of the crime.

WEAR ALL
UNION MADE
CLOTHING
Trades Council Delegates
Need Not DiSrObe- Labeled
Shirts Not to Be Found?

Union-made clothing was the cause
of considerable discussion at the Els
sex Trades Council meeting last night
and 1t was decided that the delegate:
must wear union-made apparel when
it can be had.
All of the delegates were immense
ly pleased when they heard the commit.
tee on resolutions report that 1t would
not be necessary for them to dlsrobe be-
fore entering the m~eeting-room so that
their clothing could be inspected so as &c
see if they had the union label on it.
A resolution of that kind was offered al
the last meeting of the council, and big
Tom" Kelly. of the Engineers Union,
said he would not attend another meet
ing If he had to take all of his clothing off.
There was considerable unea siness among
the delegates until it came time for the
committee report, but their worrying was
turned to joy when Louis A. &. Agethe, the
chairman of the committee, announced that
the resolution, II adopted, would conflict
with the constitution Of the organization.
which in effect states that a Delegates
word is sufficient evidence that all of his
wearing apparel has the union label on
1t. Their was great applause over the
committees report, which was concurred
in with a big volume of ayes"
Delegate John Roach threw a great
scare into the meeting when he reported
that a good unfon-made shirt, collar or
cuff could not be had in the city.
That made several delegates uneasy, as
they began to think that something more
In the disroblng line was in store for them
to prove that their shirts, collars and cuffs
were branded with the union label, as
by the constitution of the council.
Former-Asssmblyman Tom" Mead said
he knew a store In the city where they
could be found, and that the proprietor
had told him and George Leary that he
would discharge all of his clerks If they
did not display the union-made shirts, col
and cuffs in the store when they were
asked for, ''and Mr.. Leary will bear me
out In what I say" added Mr.. Mead.
Il will" said Mr.. Leary. but l also
want to say that the same proprietor called
his clerks together after we left the store
and o them he would discharge every
one Of them II they acknowledged that
were any union-made shirts, collars
or cuffs in the\store." A roar Of laughter
followed these remarks.
Mr.. Roach said that he was forced to go
10 New York to purchase his linen, which
was much against his wishes, as he pre-
to buy in Newark. 1t was finally
decided to appoint a committee to learn
what stores carried union-made linen and
report back next week.
The committee is composed OF John
Roach, James Downes and George Leary.
