NEWSPAPERS OF
CITY HAVE PLAN TO
FACILITATE WORK
District System Which They
Adopt Will Afford Better
Service for Public.

About ninety local newsdealers at
tended a melting in Achtel-Stetter' last
night for the purpose of establishing a
district system for the delivering of
newspapers.
James Farley and A. p. Raiser, who
are at the head of a similar system in
Philadelphia, explained the benefits of
the plan. which would in a measure
concentrate a ne~wsdealer's business in
stead of having it distributed over a
wide area, as it is at present. Then,
too, the ~newsdealer would be in closer
touch with all of his customers. Carl
A.. Schuldt, of this city, presided at the
meeting. which adopted the following
resolutions:
Resolved. That we deem it will be
to the mutual advantage of the news
dealers and publishers and public at
large to institute the district system
for the delivery of morning, evening
and Sunday papers in Newark and it's
vicinity.
First, from the n~ewsdealers stand

tion of same.
Second, to bring the publisher in
closer touch with his subscriber, and
thereby increase his circulation.

ing Mrs. Mamie 7. Van Ness, of Al

house was raided by his wife last
! July. Mr.. Van Ness declares in his
lcross-bill, that Mrs. Van Ness failed to
state. Her friendship for Miller, he says,
forms part of the omitted details. April,
May and June of last yea Van Ness
declares. were the months that Miller is
alleged to have pai6 cou to Mrs. Van
Ness.
Mrs. Van Ness went to Belmar last

GRIM OLD MARCH

Millinery Suffers from His Awful
BlOw-And He Isn't Sat-

March wind is leading the review or
the nfty-seven varieties of weather to-
day. with the sunshine SO bright and
the skies so clear that were 1t not for
the remains Of yesterdays three-inch
snowfall, still apparent in some streets,
there would be no believing that New
ark was visited by a baby blizzard
twenty-four hours ago.
There is not the sincerity of a sum
mer breeze about the capricious wind
of the madcap month today, however.
The wind "bloweth where it listeth,"
and fits exactly the description OF
March weather in the days of Solomon.
and even the weather man cannot tell
where it is bound. for apparently il
comes from all points of the compass
today and Is rapidly hurrying to an
equally definite goal.
There were an unusually large num-
Der of casualties among women's head

ton of affairs in the hating trade.
mems hats of all grades were going
down all day. The March wind was nc
%respecter of femininity and blew skirts
and hats with equal gusto.

The forecast for tomorrow is fair ant

they have had TO work only during theil

WHO HIT HECKLAU,
DEEPER MYSTERY
NOW THAN EVER
Victim OF Murder0us Assault
Unable to Give Police a
Satisfactory Clue.

The murderous assault on Reinhold
Hecklau, who was terribly beaten in a
lot near Peddie street and South Bel
mont venue Wednesday night, is to-
day more Of a mystery than ever.
Hecklau is barely alive in the City
Hospital.
The police would like to find Mrs.
Hecklau's divorced husband, Edmund
Michigan. They think he might throw
some light on the case. Conflicting
stories are old about him, but detec-
tives who are on the case say they
think McGuigan is guiltless. Never
theless they would not object TO talk
ing things over with him.
To Detective ~Sergeants Kuhn and
Quinn, Hecklau has set at rest the idea
that the man who had followed him a
week before the assault took place and
the assailant were one and the SAINT
person. He says that the man who
struck him was much bigger than the
one who, he thought, had followed him
the week before.
1t is a fact, however, hat Hecklau's
description of 1.-The man with the hand
kerchief" tallies in a general way with
that of McGuigan. The detectives say
that Hecklau does not think his assail-
ant was McGuigan.
With the absence of any working
clue the police are completely bafhed,
and are inclined to regard the assault
as the necessary adjunct to a high
way robbery, although they have not
abandoned the revenge idea. They
think that it was probably a case of a
tramp taking a chance of Hccklau's
having money, and hat before he could
complete his work of rifing the vic
TINS pockets he was scared away.
Hecklau was a sober, industrious and
Woodworking man On his return from
work his idea of pleasure was to stay
in his home and read a book. Except
for walking out in the evening with his
wife he never went out except on
Wednesday night, when he went to
bowl, and his friend say that it took
a good deal of effort to persuade him
to join the club.
Yet, this man, without an enemy in
the world, so far as anyone knows, is,
when out for an evenings pleasure,
mysteriously attacked and almost killed
by a handkerchief-masked man. who
disappeared. leaving absolutely no trace
behind him.

of the seminary, has even admitted
that one of the students is suspected.
The investigation seems suddenly to
have ceased, and his leads to the be-
lief that h probe has resulted in re-
vealing the identity of the culprit. The
youthful firebug, 1t is said, broke down
while being put through the third" de-
gree. and admitted she set fire to the

or jealousy over the lavish wardrobes

of evidence being discovered that the
incendiarism was due to the anger OF
a pretty girl. who was blackballed when
applying for membership in h Cali
Logan Society. the only secret organi-
cation for girls in the seminary. 1t is
also known that several girls gave such
guarded answers as to further arouse
the suspicion of the seminary heads
and the county authorities.

STREET CAR TAX
To Be ASSESSED
ON A NEW PLAN
Public Service Corporation Ac-
cepts Mileage System Proposed
by Board OF Works.
CITY HAS POWER TO
BURY TROLLEY WIRES
So Reports Counsel James X.
Nugent to the Meeting
Yesterday Afternoon.

A conference of the members of the
Board OF Works will be held next
Thursday to settle definitely on the
proposed new 5 per cent. ordinance for
taxing the receipts of the trolley lines
in the city, so that Newark will collect
on the cars running within it's own linn
It's. City Counsel James r. Nugent re-
ported to the board at it's meeting yes
terday that he and City Engineer Nor
ris r. Sherrerd had conferred with the
Public Service officials on the tentative
plan of taxing the company on the car
mileage system. instead of the old truck
mileage. and had found them favorable
to the scheme. After the Thursdays
conference the city and trolley officials
will again get together and decide upon
the details.
The car mileage system mean that
the city will receive 5 per cent. of the
receipts of cars operating exclusively
within city lines, instead of the same
percentage on the proportion that the
trackage within the city bears to the
entire trackage of the lines.
New and Old Plans.
For instance, taking the mile as the
unit, suppose a ear line three miles
long had one mile within the city limits
and two miles outside the latter, di-
vided into two sections of one mile each.
Under the old system of taxation by
track mileage the city would receive )
per cent. of o%ne-third of the receipts OF
the cars running over the entire three
miles.
81 Under the new system. the receipts
from these three classes are to be COM
puted separately. The city will receive
. per cent. on the total receipts of those
cars running within its boundaries; he
same on one-half of the receipts from
cars running to the end of the second
division, and also 5 per cent. of one
third of the receipts of cars running to
the end of the line. The new ordinance
will also include among it's provisions
all territory acquired after it's adoption.
1T is expected that the proposed system
will make a difference of a good many
Thousand dollars in favor of the city.
May Bury Trolley wires.
Another matter of interest to the troll
ley company was brought up at yester-
days meeting by City Counsel Nugent.
who filed an opinion hat the city would
be acting well within its rights If it
forced the Public Service to bury its
trolley wires. In another opinion re-
garding the power of the city to com
pei the company to put its electric light
and power wires in subways, Mr.. Nu-
gent said that it would be well to wait
for the settlement by the courts of a
ra az IF the kind now going on in Ros-
on. No definite action was taken by
the board on the matter.

HOLY RAIL TO MECCA
Abdul Hamid Hopes It Will Bind
His Empire in Asia.
Road Now Runs to Mohammed's Tomb
in Medina and VIII Be Completed
to Mecca in 1918 at Cost
of 100000.

Springfield, Mass.-On Tuesday,
September 2, 1908, the holy railroad
was opened from Damascus to Me-
dina, and no avowed Christian is to
be allowed TO pass further than
Medina-Saleb into the country of
Hejaz. So there is a SAVIOR of mystery
about this holy railroad, which runs
heal the tomb of the prophet of Me-
dina, the present terminus of the
road. 1t is the holy city that received
Mohammed when Mecca cast him out
as a hereto, denouncing organism and
idolatry and preaching. There is one
God and Allah is his name!" 1t was
in 622 A. D. that Medina allowed the
young reformer to preach his new
faith. Finally his new gospel was
preached by the force of the sword,
and Mohammed won the reputation of
a miracle worker. He conquered Nee.
ca and made it the center of Islam,
and the kaaba, or sacred pantheon,
was made the great temple of the
Moslem faith.
AT Medina Mohammed died and was
buried, and was laid in his mosque
tomb, where the faithful for centuries
have worshiped their leader. This
mosque is the hottest spot of the Mo-
hammedan world. 1t is said to be
decorated with costly ornaments and

A Free Breakfast Table.

Tariff for revenue is n thing; tariff
for plumber is another. Protection is
the most dishonest system ever en-
acted by which poor people are made
to pay the burden of taxation. Why
in the name of reason is any protection
needed on coffee, tea, cocoa and sugar?
Are there any coffee, tea or cocoa
plantations which will be forced into
bankruptcy If coffee, tea and cocoa are
let in free? These articles of food
are used by nearly every individual in
the United States. They ought to
be within the reach of every one.
Why not run the government on a
business basis and make ends meet?"
A reduction in expenditures and an in
crease in receipts, a low tariff for
revenu only" would correct all the
troubles of deficiency, and an econom.
ical administration would not do bust.
ness on bond money"
II there are any reasons why the
prosperous and affluent should not pay
the expenses of the government, then
there are reasons why no government
at all would be better than the one
under the present conditions, where
poverty carries the load and wealth
reaps the harvest.
