WAIT DECISION
ON BOND ISSUE
TO BUILD DOCKS
City Officials Expected to Report
to Works Board Late
Today.
MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT
HINGES ON OPINION
Will Say Whether Referendum
Under Lane Bill Was
Legal.

Following the conference of city
finance officials with heads of the
Board Of Works as TO the legality os
the referendum vote at the last gen
eral election on the bill providing for
the erection of municipal docks and the
issuance of $1,000 600 permanent loan
bonds, Acting City Counsel Herbert
Boggs and City Attorney Francis
Child. jr.. are preparing an opinion
which they will submit today to the
Board of Works. City Auditor George
Forman and Comptroller Bacheller.
With the sites already picked, and
made public, and options on some of
obstacle is raised, and if the law de-
partment cannot show that the referen-
dunn election was legal the bonds can
not lie issued, and the scheme of munic-
ipal docks will be practically killed un-
til there can be special legislation, on
the question.
The dock act provides that the refer
endum shall be in accord with the ma
jorty of legal voters at the election
The point IS that the referendum
election was held at the general cleo
ton. Forty-seven thousand legal voters
cast their ballots on the tickets for
offices, and of this number only thir-
teen thousand voted for the docks and
eleven thousand against. While there
was majority In favor of the docks
among those who voted On this ques-
ton, the total of for and against was
not equal 20 the majority of the votes
cast at that election, and the law spec-
fically states that the vote shall be the
majority of votes east at the election"
The knotty problem Is that section
1S5 of the referendum law of 1898 pro-
vides that those voting on a referen-
dunn shall be considered a majority of
the legal voters. II this section holds
good the vote on the docks was legal
and bonds can be issued and the work
continued. But the question is. does
the section referred to apply to acts
prior to its passage In 1898 or acts
afterward passed? In other words, the
section would apply to the law passed
in 1897, but would it apply to the act
passed last year. nine years after?
Can the act of one Legislature have
bearing in the future acts of another
Legislature?
In the meantime Auditor Forman and
Comptroller Bachelor will not issue the
$25 900 temporary loan bonds for the
preliminary work on the dock scheme,
and one of the largest options on the
property obtained by the city will ex-
pire Sunday. To gain this land again
the city would have to pay possibly
ten times as much, and pending some
bo will ia a. a
standstill, as the city officers will not
give out city money or issue bonds on
a project that might be proven illegal

DID STRASBERGER
OR HIS WIFE KICK
BED COVER OFF?
Undertaken, Neuralgia Victim,
Says, "She Did It"-"No, He
Did," Spouse Declares.

Bernard J. Strasberger, an under
taker, of 504 High street. who was
hailed before Judge Howell in the First
Precinct Court today, on complaint Of
his comely wife. claimed that he has
been suffering the torments of the
damned since last Friday night, when.
in his sleep, he kicked the bed covering
off and caught cold. resulting in neu-
ralgia. His wife got all the blame, for
he said that she covered herself and
baby and ignored his right to part of
the sheet. Hence it was her fault that
he contracted neuralgia.
Mrs. Strasberger, who charged her
spouse with subjecting her to unrea-
sonabdle rveillance said he made her
sign a paper in which she agreed to
have no friends, to stay at home, to
render a strict account of the house,
hold finances, and to do many other
things that would make her the most
meek and humble of all the housewives
In Newark. She was moved to sign
this paper, she AYERS. by the threat of
her husband that unless she did so he
would steal their year-old girl,
Louise.
The child, who is pretty, played about
the court room during the recital Of
the domestic troubles.
Stra sberger refuted in some instances
the story his wife told. When the
father made a statement contradicting
his wife the little one, who was nestled
close to her mothers bosom, turned
YEARLY and exclaimed, "Oh, what's the
use?"
The remark temporarily upset the
dignity of the courtroom.
1t was brought out that the Stras-
bergers were housed in dark rooms in
the rear of the undertaking parlors
Judge Howell asked the defendant if
he thought his father would ask his
mother to live in such quarters
The wife was asked if she wanted to
go back to her husband or if she pre-
ferred to live alone with her child
She brought her clenched fist down on
the desk with a bang and answered
that she would live alone.
She and her child will be cared for
by relatives, and in the meantime
Stra sberger will look for more suitable
quarters.

F|REBUG |MPER|LS
HUNDREDS IN FOUR
BIG TENEMENTS
Five Fires Started Under Stairs
in One House-Suspect Is
Caught After Hot Fight.
Especial to the Evening start

NEW YORK, July 17.--An incendiary
imperiled hundreds of lives early today
by starting hlazes in four buildings in
the heart of Harlem's Little Italy"
In one building five separate fires were
kindled.
A man, whom the police believe to be
the firebug, has been arrested and is
now at the East 124th street station.
Upon his person was found a bottle
containing a mixture of benzine and
kerosene. and his arrest was accom-
plished only after a desperate encoun-
ter with policeman and Jacob
Greenberg, a tenant, who saw him run
out of the building in which a blaze
had been kindled. He said his name
was Beniamo Conino, of 207 East l07th
street, but denied that he was guilty
of starting the fire.
The building at 221 East 104th
street. which houses twenty families,
was set on fire in five places. the blaze
being started in each instance under

SEEKING MILLION,
CITY BOARD PRODS
INSURANCE MEN
Striving to Find Out if There
Isn't That Much Shy on
Taxable Personally.

The city Tax Board today took up
the hearing of the fire insurance and
plate glass companies OF this city with
a view to having the companies show
if their personality is not nearly a
million more than represented on the
tax books.
Representatives of the Fireman's In-
surance Company. American Fire In
surance Company and Newark FireIn-
surance Company, and the New Jer-
sey Plate Glass Company were heard
today. The insurance companies gave
their taxable assets as amounting to
approximately 100000 last year and
the plate glass company was taxed on
100000.
The representatives today claimed
that they were exempt on number
of securities that the commissioners
think should pay toll to swell the tax
list, and the knotty points will be re-
ferred to the municipal law depart
ment,
The city and county boards will sit
in the City Hall on Tuesday to resume
the hearing of the life insurance COM
panies.
The attempt of the city board to
readjust the policy of the taxation OF
bank stock and of insurance companies
and corporations has been a monu-
mental task.

NEWARK PRIEST
ATTACKED BY RED
HAND IN HANDb|LLS
Father D'Aquila Thanked" for
Alleged Accommodation /
of Garibaldians.
HE DENIES TAKING T
ACTION AGAINST SOCIETY
Trouble Grew Out of Removal OF
Portrait of Patriot in Church
School.

Circulars signed Red Hand" and dis.
tributed today in the vicinity of Ferry
and McWhorter streets, caused Father
D'Aquilla to call on Palice Captain
Christie and ask that the men respon-
sible for the circulars be arrested.
The circulation of the handbills
started list night among the crowd of
thousands of persons who gathered
about the Church of Our Lady of Mt.
Carmel during the celebration of the
saints feast.
The circular states that the 300 mem-
bers of the Garibaldi Society felt highly
honored because a priest connected
with the church had excommunicated
all of them from the church. Tho
handbills displayed in big type, besides
other things
Down with the church! Down with
the priest!'
The trouble grew out of the church
holding It's commencement exercises in
the Garibaldi Hall on that occasion
sister removed the picture of Carl
baldi TO hang one of the Sacred Heart.
This so incensed some of the Carl
baldi men that when they were phrad&
| ing by the church on July they
shouted Down with the church!
Down with the priest!'
Father AQuilla then decided to take
decisive action. He said today
II did not excommunicate all or any
of the members of this society, as the
circular states. The power of excom-
nunication lies not with me, but with
the bishop. / did say that In view Of
the actions of the society I would re-
fuse them the use Of the banners OF
the church in case any of them died
and We're to be buried as Catholics in
this church, and that I would be very
strict with them If they asked my
services.
'Ioffered no insult to Garibaldi; in
fact, | have never seen the picture.
But | am told when the hall at Me-
Whorter and Ferry streets. which Is
used by the society, was being deco
rated for use in the parochial school
commencement one of the sisters, find
ing no place for picture on the wall,
removed that of Garibaldi and SUBJ
stituted one of the Sacred eHart. J
may not have been replaced, and ma
be she lnnocently left it reversed
THE society consists of about three
hundred members, so far as I know.
On the day of the parade many Of
them left the line on account of the
actions of their companions"
