TO CARRY FIGHT
Of ASSESSORS TO
ATTORNEY
Major Lentz Questions Right OF
Boards Secretary to Re-
fuse Subpoena.
WILL TAKE PAPERS In CASE
TO TRENTON TOMORROW
Secretary Mcguire Had Been
Summoned Before Board
of Equalization.

The right OF Secretary Irvine e.
Mcguire, of the State Board of AS
SCISSORS, to refuse to obey the subpoena
of the State Board of Equalization to
appear before 1t yesterday In Hoboken,
is to be the subject of an opinion from
Attorney General Wilson. Major Carl
Lentz, president of the equalization
board, will take the papers to Trenton
tomorrow. David Baird, against whom
Major Lentz directed great deal of
his time in his campaign for the chair
manship of the Essex County Republi-
can Committee before the primaries, is
president of the Board of Assessors.
Major LentZs board sat yesterday In
HobolSen in the case of the Hoboken
Ferry#Company, of which the Lacka-
wanna is the lessee. The property of
the ferry company was assessed by
the State board and later by the city
assessors. The money was paid over
to the state body. and Hoboken's share
turned over to the city. AS a result,
the Hoboken authorities appealed to
the board of equalization to adjust
the differences, claiming that the larger
used for railroad purposes, and should,
therefore, come under the Jurisdiction
of the local board.
AT the beginning of the hearing yes
terday City Counsel Fallon, of Ho-
bolSen, presented an affidavit by City
Attorney Allen to the effect that he,
Allen, had attempted to serve SUBJ
poena on Mcguire, accompanying 1t
with IS for expenses and witness fees.
The document directed Mcguire to ap-
pear before the board and bring with
him the assessment sheets showing the
itemized assessment of the property in
question: Mcguire, he stated. refused
to take the money or obey the sum-
mons He did not question the form of
service Allen was put on the stand,
and under oath reiterated the state
mems made in the affidavit.
After consideration it was decided to
take all the facts of the case and place
them In the hands of the attorney
general to find out whether Mcguire
has the right to refuse as he did. The
equalization board does not know
whether the secretary acted upon his
own initiative or whether he was obey
ing Instructions from the board which
he represents.
The case of the ferry company was
adjourned until October 90, as Mr. Fail
lon said that he could not go on with
his case until the presence of Mcguire
with the documents mentioned could be
obtained.
This is the first subpoena of the
Board of Equalization that has ever
been refused The board Is not at
tempting at this time to discover Ma
guires motives, but simply his author
ity to decline.

IN COURT BATTLE
TO WIN FREEDOM
Man Seeking Escape from Asy-
lum Denies Charges of
Drunkenness.
WIFE OPPOSES LIBERTY,
DECLARES ATTORNEY
"She Hit Me in Jaw With Her
Fist and Threw Iron at
Me-" Says Witness.

John M. Kiefer a jeweler, of 423
South Belmont avenue, whose sanity
is being inquired into by chancery
commission, with Lawyer Hugh b.
Reed as its head, was heard in his own
behalf in the Notions Court room of
the Court House today, having been
called by Samuel J. Macdonald, who
represents Andrew d. Kiefer, a broth
err, who wants to get the man out of
the Hospital for the Insane at Over
brook.
1t is the contention of the brothers $
lawyers that Mrs Kiefer, the alleged
lunatic's wife, is fighting the proceed
ngs, due to her desire to prevent his
gaining his freedom. On the other
hand, Mrs. Kiefer's lawyers say this
is one of Kiefer's delusions, due to al
coholic paranoia, from which they say
he Is suffering
When Kiefer was placed on the wit
ness stand he appeared to be perfectly
rational and answered promptly all
questions put by Mr.. Macdonald.
He first swore that he had given
his wife practically all the money he
earned and paid the household bills.
What are your habits as to drink
mgr he was asked.
II would go out nights" he admitted,
land drink a glass of beer l. also
drank beer at dinner, and in the morn
ing had one whiskey and another at
night"
did YOU ever go home drunk?'
gently asked Mr.. Macdonald.
Il may have got home on two or
three occasions as you say, drunk"
Then he denied that he had ever
threatened his wife, but said she
threatened him.
She hit me in the jaw once with
her fist he declared, ''and threw a
flatiron at me once
She broke my gold-rimmed eye
glasses once" was another declaration.
Before Kiefer testified William C.
Hanson, of 6S Seymour avenue. who
boarded at the kiefer home, swore
that he never saw the alleged lunatlc
drunk
Kiefer, in answer to further questions
by Mr.. Macdonald, denied that he ever
admitted to DIR. William H. Hicks, the
alienist who examined him, that he
drank liquor to excess.
In order to show that Kiefer had busi-
ness ability and was far from being a
fit inmate of hospital for the insane,
it was brought out by his lawyer that
he had made several attempts to buy
out jewelry concerns
But my wife always found fault he
added, mo matter what / did. If |
played solitaire she found fault and If
smoked she found fault. She always
told me to get to work.
II asked my wife," Kiefer testified in
the course of the examination, ito get
me out of the hospital. She said she
would if I signed a couple of thousand
dollars over to her. I told her l could
not do that. as could not draw on my
account
Then he denied that he had ever ad-
mtted to DR., Henry d. Mccormick at
the County Hospital for the Insane that
he was man of Incorporate habits.
and said that he told him that he only
drank one whiskey in the morning and
another at night.
Since October, 1907, when he was first
confined, ne also testified he had one
thing on his mind. and that was to get
out of the city, away from the peo-
pie who knew my case

Alderman Jerome r.. Congleton, who
has been interested in the project Tor
some time, also urged that immediate
stems be taken. In speaking of the mat
ter today he said: :.
.'The municipality cannot employ all
that desire employment, but 1t can and
should lend assistance In procuring
work. especially II 1t may be done at
comparatively little expense. and this,
! think, is feasible.
THE number of unemployed may be
at least reduced by providing an OF
fetal clearinghouse, where the re-
quirements of employer and employee
may be registered andswhere q public
Official is charged with the duty OIL
meeting such requirements, so far as

supervision and persistent effort, VIII

"A bureau of employment, operated
by the municipality, will not lack the
confidence of those requiring Its serv-
ices, consequently 1t should prove to be
n popular and efficient market in which
the buyer and seller Of b may be
promptly brought together for their
and the city's advantage.
I'm the plan l have In mind. the
respective requirements of employers
and employees will be recorded and
classified by the adoption of a modern
card index system. The card for en-
ployees will record the usuai items re-
lating to the personality, recommends
lions, vocation and other qualifications
of the registrants, and the
number Of dependents, IL any,
and the minimum wage &C
eeptable. The care for employers will
record the nature of the business con-
Quoted, the requirements of the occu-
patton or position, its tenure, the mini
mum wage and other essential facts.
THE administrator of such bureaus
may be aided through h cooperation
of associated merchants, manufacturers
and tradesmen; In fact. the cooperation
of all organizations not political should
be urged. that the bureaus may be fully
informed as to the condition OF the
labor market, to the end that time lost
through lack of employment may be
diminished, and let us hope that the
sum total of enforced idleness may, in
the near future. approximate the ir-
reducible minimum
