SHOOTS WIFE AND
Then KILLS SELF
BEFORE CHILDREN
Double Tragedy Resulted Be-
cause Husband Was Upbraid-
ed as Dishonest, 1t Is Said.

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. l6-In the
presence of their two children, aged 4
and years, Barko Bernardsky shot
and instantly killed his wife and then
blew out his own brains today in a
lodging house on North Franklin street
in this city.
The tragedy is the result of a quarrel
due, the neighbors say, to the wife
upbraiding the husband because he did
not lead an honest life.
The couple came from Poland less
than a year ago and resided with
Carroll Fabian in Buffalo Mrs. Ber-
nardsky left her husband and came
here three weeks ago with the children
and then wrote, according TO the
neighbors, that she would again live
with him when he led a different life

man except what they were told by
neighbors.

MEN ON CITY'S GROWTH
ALI Pleased with Announcement
Made at Washington This
Afternoon.

Here are the views of some of the
city efffeials, business and professional
men in regard to the great growth
made by the city:
Theodore Fettinger, of Hahne & Co...
THAT certainly Is a fine showing. The
new census figures win bring more peo-
pie here and Newark will be regarded
more as city than it has in the past
Treasurer Alexander S. Ward, of the
Howard Savings Institution-"That is
an increase of over 40 per cent. read
this morning that the census for Pitts
burg shows an increase of only Is per
cent. in population. 1t is certainly
great for Newark. 1t indicates that we
will soon rank as a metropolitan city"
Albert H. Baldwin, president of
the National Newark Banking Com
pany-'It is immense for our city. 1t
will not be long before Newark will
have population of 100000 souls. When
the high service electric road is in
operation we will have a greater
yearly increase in population. Newark
has a great future"
Growth Is Splendid.
Cashier Archibald w. Conklin, of the

ten years is splendid. 1t indicates a

Former United States Senator James
Smith, jr., president of the Federal
Trust Company-"The increase is mar
velous, but it is only the beginning OF
greater future for our city. If we
had as you say, an average increase
of nearly $4,000 a year in the last five
years, Newark viii have a population
of half a million at the end of the
next ten years, for quicker transit ac-
commodations will bring more people
here every year"

RAILWAY, Aug. 16.-The uncoupling

in wreck at 1:45 p m. today that will

There is only one pair of tracks which

being prominently mentioned as the
successor to DR.. Dill at Overlook. DIR.
Beling was for six and a half years
the assistant to DR.. Evans at Morris
Plains, and during his stay at that in
stitution he attracted the attention of
the medical profession all over the
country by reason of the successful
manner in which he handled some of
the most stubborn cases that the asy-
lum was ever called upon to handle.
1t was with the greatest regret that
the institution accepted his resignation.
and every pressure was brought to
bear to have him stay. but Dr. Beling
considered that there was a larger
field for him here and for the last
three years he has been in this city.
He established a clinic for the treat
n-ent Of nervous and mental diseases al
St. MichaeTs Hospital and at the CITY
Dispensary, while his work at the City
Hospital as head of the department of
neurology has resulted in that insti-
tuition being regarded as one of the best
in the country for handling cases COM

While the increase is large and de-

REFUSES TO GRANT
MORE TRANSFERS
Board of Works Request for
Further Privileges on Troll
ley Cars Denied.

In a two-hour conference, held today
with City Trolley Inspector Crawford.
First ce-President Roberts of the
Public Service Railway Company
turned down the request made at the
instance Of the Board of Works for
certain transfer privileges.
The request made by. Mr.. Crawford
was that passengers on north and
south bound cars al Elizabeth and CIin-
ton avenues and at Belleville and
Bloomfield avenues be allowed TO leave
cars and, presenting their transfers on
other cars bound in the same direction,
continue along north or south, as they
had been bound before leaving the first
car.
Mr.. Robertss contention was that the
request of the trolley Inspector was TO
be regarded more as sn application FOR
stop-over privileges than the transfer
privileges to which patrons of the lines
are entitled.
It was. declared at the publicity Office
of the Public. Service this afternoon
that there was nothing in the city or
dinances granting the trolley fran
chises that made it necessary for the
railway company to grant the request.
