NURSES HOME TO
MAKE MORE ROOM
IN BETH ISRAEL
Plan Decided Upon to Add to
Facilities-Miss Ward Si=
lent on Resignation.

Following the resignation of Miss
Lavina Ward as superintendent of the
Beth Israel Hospital, to take effect
January 1, the executive committee of
the hospital at a special meeting last
night considered several important
changes, among which was the advisa-
bility of establishing a nurses home.
The committee decided to open a ma
ternity ward January l, and it was
found that the space now occupied by
the nurses would have to be utilized,
and so it was decided to have a home
for the nurses. A building adjoining
the hospital in West Kinney street was
considered, out found to be too small.
A committee to choose a site will report
at the next meeting.
As Miss Ward was recently made
head nurse there will be two vacancies
to fill. The committee. which had been
appointed to find Miss Wards sue
cessor,, was discharged and a motion
to ask the medical staff to recommend
a new superintendent and head nurse
at the next meeting was carried.
Miss Ward today declined to make a
statement as to why she had resigned.

NEW JERSEY WINS
FIGHT FOR BIG
SEWER OUTLET
Passaic Valley Sewerage Com
mission Practically Assured
of U. S. Support.
FIGHT NOW RESTS IN
THE SUPREME COURT
If Injunction New York Asks Is
Denied, Work VIII Be-
gin Shortly.

The Passaic Valley Sewerage Com
mission has won its hardest battle. and
today was practically assured that the
New York harbor board Of the war
department would approve the plan
to dump the sewage from the pro-
posed big trunk sewer in New York
Bay.
Col. D.. w. Lockwood. senior officer Of
the harbor board, intimated that the
board would recommend to the war
department the plans of the commits
sion, provided the commission submit
ted guarantees that the sewage would
pass through settling beds and screens
before being dumped into New York
bay.
The board liked December Il as the
final day for the submitting of such
guarantees and other communications,
and then the harbor board will for
ward its recommendations to Wash
ington. Practical assurance Was Given
that the harbor board would approve
the plans.
The next and final move ia the Geht
Tor the trunk sewer Will -" Ia tue
United States Supreme Court. Ia the
application by the State of New'iork
for an injunction restraining the State
of New Jersey from using NeV York
bay as a sewer terminal New Jersey
has been given until January 4, next,
to file its answer.
This Will be don by the Passaic Val
ley Sewerage Commission, in behalf Of
New Jersey. and the United States Sa-
preme Court will then set a day for
final arguments by both sides.
This answer to the application for
the restraining injunction, prayed for
in perpetuity, will be the final word
in the fight for and against the trunk
sewer. If the Supreme Court grants
the injunction the sewer cannot be
built and each municipality must dis
pose of its own sewage, possibly by
incineration.
If the injunction is denied the Pas
sale Valley Commission will proceed at
once with the construction of the
sewer, providing. of course, that the
war department approves of the ter
mination of 1t In New York harbor.
Under a. law on the New Jersey
statute books all municipalities along
the Passaic must cease to dump their
sewage into the Passaic river by De-
cember IL. 1912.

RIVAL COUNTY
OFFICIALS NOT To
FIGHT OVER PAY
Old Office-HOIders Do Work and
Get Salary Till Courts .
Settle Case.

While Essex County now has praeti-
cally two sets of office holders-those
who held office under the old Board OF
Freeholders, and who now claim protec-
ton under civil service rules, and those
recently appointed by the new Board
of Freeholders-the more important
contestants have mutually agreed that
the county shall not be called upo to
pay two sets of salaries.
Many of the men under the old and
new boards have agreed that the old
officials shall continue to hold office
and draw pay for the same until the
courts straighten out the tangle.
Consultations were held yesterday
afternoon between counsel representing
the different officials. but they did not
arrive at any decision as to what to
do. They met again today.
County Physician Elliott continues to
discharge the duties of h a office, and
DR.. p. j. McGuinness the duties of
county collector. The same arrange
ment exists between DR.. McGuin-
ness and Richard w. Booth. who was
also named by the Freeholders Monday
to succeed the former.
County Counsel Joseph l.. Mum is
preparing a plan which lie will submit
to respective %counsels for action.
The matter will have to be straight
ened out before many days in order to
prepare he payrolls for the county
employees, to be submitted to the Civil
Service. Commission for approval.
If the freeholders only recognize their
appointees that are to succeed the ones
that are protected by the classified list
of the Civil Service Commission, the
latter body will. in all probability, re-
fuse to approve of the list, but as to
the payment of the county physician
and county collector, it Will be a ques-
ton as to who should be paid.

WAS RUGGED AND
KISSED So OFTEN
SHE TOLD HUSBAND
Stani Rafalik Fled from Frank
Bertr's Wrath, but Getaway
Wasn't Complete.

Although Frank Bertr Is a giant, he
feared he was not strong enough to
hold the affections Of his little wife,
Eva, and today he caused the arrest Of
Stani Rafalik, a handsome young stu
dent Of the Morton Street Evening
School, charging him, to wit:
"That one Stani Rafalik with force
and arms did make an attack upon one
Eva Bertr. wife Of Frank Bertr, by
grabbing her around the neck and also
kissing her against her will and against
the peace of the State of New Jersey"
Rafalik was a boarder in the Bertr
home, at 800 Norfolk street, until he
learned that Mrs. Bertr had been in
executive session with her formidable
hubby. Bertr has a fist like a steel
trip-hammer, and--like my brudder
Sylvest-he's AZ inches around the

gerous zone, at II Beacon street, and
he was preparing his lessons for night
school when Constable Weberbauer,
armed with q warrant from Justice of
the Peace Bosset, arrived and took him
to the county Jail.
Rafalik's defense is that he did
not kiss Mrs. Bertr against her will; in
fact, she loved him, he AYERS.
Mrs. Bertr has told her husband and
the police that Rafalik loved her and
wanted her to elope with him.
"He loved me very much" said Mrs.
Bertr, land 1 could not keep him away
from me. Many times he Rugged and
kissed me, although. l didFnot want him
to do so. I finally thought it was best
to tell my husband, and when I did so
Rafalik ran away"
