BITTLES MAKES CLEAR HIS
POSITION IN PIE STRIKE.
Says He Will Resist Demands of
Men Indefinitely.

William Bittles, president and owner
of the Wagner Pastry Bakery Company,
issued the following statement today
explaining the company's attitude on
the strike of the bakers:
II received a letter from the United
Journeymen Pie Bakers Union, of New
York, on October s. demanding that the
bakers receive SIG per week, which is 81
in excess of their regular salary. The
men often make more than that. For
instance, the week before last bakers
received a minimum salary Of $40. rs and
a maximum of $50. This was due to
their working overtime.
Following this the drivers were
asked out in sympathy with the bak-
ers, and demanded an increase of 81.
Charles Ellery, one of the drivers, was
their spokesman. and told me that II
| would give them protection they
would return to work on the same basis
of wages as before, as they had no
grievance against the company. They
We're receiving from $3.50 to $2S "a
week. That was entirely agreeable to
me, but the drivers We're again per-
suaded not to go back to work until
they received 50 a week increase.
II believe that nine -tenths of tho
drivers were not in sympathy with the
order from the New York union. Last
week l was able to handle one-half
of the daily output, and by the end
of the present week l will have all of
my wagons again at work and my city
supply will not suffer
"Jn conclusion | want to say | will
hold out indefinitely against any such

ROSTERS OWNERSHIP
is PUT UP TO COURT.
Two Orange Citizens Claim Title
tD Valued Bird,

The questioned ownership of Ber-
cham rooster resulted in the serving Of
a search warrant today by Detectives
Wendell and Riker at the home of Jo-
9eph Fitten of Prince street, Orange,
after complaint had been made before
Recorder Francis A. Mott, jr., by AS
sistant Chief John Flynn of the fire de-
partment. The rooster was found and
will be held until tomorrow morning at
o'clock. when the trial will take place.
Mr.. Flynn says the rooster was stolen
from the rear of his home in Washing
ton street in April and later he learned
that Mr. Fitten had the bird. Fitten
claims he bought the bird of dealer in
Day street. Orange, and the latter says
he does not know who sold him the
rooster. Fitten thought Flynn might be
mistaken regarding the rooster, but the
latter insists 1t is his property.
The assistant chief had the mate of
the rooster and another of the same
strain in court today. and the birds
made their presence known vociferously.

WILSON DECISION,
LENTz SAYS, BARS
WARD CHAlRMEN
Declares They Are Not Eligible
Unless Duly Elected at
the Primaries.

Are the chairmen of the various Re-
publican ward executive committees ell
gible to membership in the county
committee If not elected to the county
committee at the primaries? Major
Carl Lentz thinks not.
Hitherto the chairmen of the ward
executive committees have without
question taken seats in the county
committee.
Under the old law the executive COM
mittee chairmen took their seats in the
county committee by virtue of their
election by the ward organization,
Now, the major claims. as these men
were not specifically elected at the pri-
maries to fill places on the county COM
mittee itself, they are not eligible for
membership. In the same way they are
not. therefore, eligible for the off1ces
of chairman, secretary and treasurer
Major Lentz bases this claim on the
supposition that the law passed TINS
year, denying the executive chairmen
membership in the county committee,
is good and will stand.
According to the major, too, there are
only two of the executive committee
chairmen who were regularly elected to
the county committee and who, there
fore, may take their seats as members
of that committee. They are Robert l..
Ross, of the Second ward, and Francis
Mott, of the Seventh ward
The major is banking on the opin-
ion by Attorney General Wilson, which,
it is held, bars Colonel Colgate from
the chairmanship of the county COM
mittee. If Colgate is not eligible, he
says, neither are the executive commit
tee chairmen. He declared, however,
that he would not attack Colonel Col
gates eligibility on account of the
opinion of the attorney general.
Chairman Alfred N. Dalrymple, the
present head of the county committee,
also said that he would not try ana
fight Colgate ON that point.

WILL TRY AGAIN TO SELL OLD
CITY HALL ON WEDNESDAY.
First Attempt Failed Because of
Low Bids.

4 The second attempt to dispose of the
old City Hall property at the corner
of Broad and William streets at public
auction will be made at O'Clock
Wednesday afternoon
The property was put on public sale
last spring, but the New City Hall
Commissioners did not think that the
s235,000 offered was as much as the
plot could be expected to bring. For
mer Judge Gottfried Kruger, at tho
time, declared the site to be worth at
least $25O,000. When the property was
withdrawn the commissioners declared
that they would entertain private bids
and dispose of the land that way il
the price offered was good enough.
Shortly afterwards Judge Krueger went
abroad and nothing further has been
done about it until the present time.

MANY NEWARKERS
STRIVE TO JOIN
POLICE FORCE
More Than Two Hundred Men
Turn Out for Physical
Examination.

The first batch of wouldbe police
men appeared today at the local Y. M.
c. A. gymnasium to take the physical
tests prescribed by the Civil Service
Examination Board. Gardner Colby,
chief examiner of the State Civil Serv-
ice Commission, was there to see that
the applicants had the proper creden-
tials and to hand out the official green
pasteboard slips which entitled the ap-
plicants to an examination.
Physical Director Leonard Smith, of
the Y. M. c. A. force, had complete
charge of the tests, and was assisted by
corps of local athletes hTe physical
competitive tests were conducted up
stairs ON the gymnasium floor while
the medical examination, relative to
eyes, ears, hearts and lungs, was con-
Quoted downstairs in the pool and
dressing rooms under the direction OF
DIR. T.. w. Duncker. of this city, and
DIR. Ferdinand Sauer, of Jersey City.
There were fully 215 men out to take
the tests. Four hundred and fifty ap-
plications for the tests have been grant
ed, and the remainder of the appli-
cants will be examined tomorrow under
the same conditions as prevailed today.
The examinations consisted of raising
the body by the arms on the parallel
bar, of "chnning" the horizontal bar,
of lifting thirty -five-p pound weight ten
times and fftypound weight five
times, of jumping and of running 100
yards in at least 16 2-5 seconds. If the
applicants ran the course in IA 3-5 sec
onds they were given 100 per cent.
The medical examination consisted of
tests of the eyes, ears and of the appli-
cant's organic strength.
1t was said by the doctors that many
of the applicants would be disqualified
by weak hearts or eyes, but that the
first days crowd promised well for the
future of the police force, as many of
the men were physically of the finest
type The tests for the heart and lungs
were applied Immediately after the
running exercises.
