SECURING SURETIES
TROUBLES SCHMITz
BOOdling Ex-MayOr Is Allowed
Another Week to Get Sub
stitute for Dingee

Eugene +. Schmitz, the boodling
former mayor, is experiencing no small
difficulty in securing sureties to go on
his bond in the place of William j.
Dingee, the embarrassed capitalist
Frank Drew, Schmitz' lawyer, admit
ted in Judge Dunne's court yesterday
that he had not so far succeeded in
getting substitute sureties BY con
sent of the district attorney, who,
while insisting that good bonds must
be found for the indicted mans ap-
pear-nce when wanted. has no wish
TO press him unduly, Schmitz was given
another week in which TO scurry up
sureties
To his intimates Schmitz has con-
hded that the task of finding bonds
men in the amount of $500, ,O0O-the
sum for which Dingee now stands
pledged-has proved Unexpectedly
hard. There are many men, Schmitz
states. who are wealthy enough to go
on his bonds, and who are willing to
do so, but who are debarred by reason
of the fact of membranes on their
property The one man whom Schmitz
expected to qualify in the sum OF
100000 In place of Dingee has not
materialized, and the fallen politician
will have to rely upon the combined
assistance of a number of friends in
order to retain his liberty.
DINGEE ELIMINATED
we have been acting on the assump-
tion that Mr.. Dingee possibly will not
be able to remain on the bonds, and
we have been endeavoring to get
others" said Attorney Drew when the
matter was called yesterday But as
the amount is very large, the work is
rather slow. We would ask your honor
for a continuance for one week
There is no objection; we realize
the difficulty they are under remarked

Of this whole matter is the question
of the appearance of the defendant

You have no reason to believe that
he won't be here?'
None whatever. Deasy answered.
He has been here right along in this
proceeding. and he has never been
served with notice"
The continuance asked for was
granted.
The citation for Dingee, which has
been out two weeks. was served upon
him yesterday afternoon at the Ruef

Judge Dunne's court, but the Judge,
through the bailiff, informed him that
the matter had gone over a week and

TO CONSIDER NEW
FIRE DEPARTMENT
FOR |Rv|NG7ON
Council Will Discuss Desirable
ity of Affording Manhattan
Park Better Protection.

The I~rvington Common Council VIII
hold it's regular meeting tonight and
several important matters are expected
to come up for discussion. The most
important will probably be to consider
the ACCESSIBILITY of establishing a nine
mar call fire department in the Man
haitian Park section of the town, 1t
being claimed that the fire protection
afforded in that part Is inadequate.
The town owns a firehouse In the
section in question, and at one time a
volunteer company was housed there,
but trouble arose and the men lost
interest. Since then the protection has
been anything but adequate.
Another matter that will probably
receive attention is the application OF
Charles p. Meyer, a saloonkeeper, for
a renewal of his license. The matter
was laid over at the last meeting be-
cause of the fact that Meyer is now
under $4,000 bail for the grand jury,
charged with violating the excise law.
Meyer is a brother of Alderman julius
A. Meyer, of this city.
