LAW TO GUIDE COUNSEL
IN THE ASYLUM CASE.
Mr.. Beers Looking Up Manner
of DR.. DiII'S APPOINTMENT.

Beyond stating that he was busy
looking up h law on the subject,
Louis ]. Beers. the special counsel en-
ployed to replace County Counsel Jo-
seph l. Mum in the proceedings
against DIR. Daniel M. Dill, who is
fighting to retain his job as head OF the
County Hospital for the Insane. had
little to say on the matter today. he
was evidently pleased, however. over
his selection, and made it plain enough
that law IN not politics would guide
him in his work.
All 1 can say at present. he re-
marked, looking up from a mass of
legal papers and a bulk OF books, ais
that l am looking up the law. We ell
have to do that. you know, and few
people realize how much preliminary
work there is in a complicated cas- OF
this kind. 1 am looking up the act APP
pointing DR.. Dill, and his subsequent
reappointment. OF course, 1 am also
looking up the veteran act under which
he claims to hold on to his job, and
every law bearing upon the duties Of
the office.
Early next week l shall be ready TO
make a return Of the writ. and then a
date will be liked for the argument"

SCHOOL TRUSTEE
BREUN|G DENIES
OODGING MEETING
Merely on Vacation. He Says,
but Will Attend Today's
Session.

The construction put upon my alb
sence from the Board of Education
meeting last night is ridiculous said
Commissioners John Breunig today
when seen in reference to his failure to
appear at the meeting. thus causing
the board to adjourn for lack OF a
quorum. August is my month off,
and as l am stopping with my family
at Belmar for the summer I am in the
city very little.
when I left town on Monday l said
1 would not return until Saturday, but
l found IL necessary to run up to the
city late yesterday. although my clerks
were not aware Of the fact. When 1
was called up by phone at my store the
clerk said that l was out of town.
which was proper enough as he had no
knowledge of my unexpected visit to
the city.
Later on in the evening 1 went to
the store. and there met the two dele
gates who were sent by the Jr. o. u.
A. NJ. to see me. 1t is ridiculous to
infer that I did not attend the meet
ing because l wished to avoid the ques-
tons brought up by the organization.
My stand in the matter is well known
anu my ICAdL1OASAlp " Liz OT0cIs WlUSt
representatives we're at the meeting last
night. are Of the most friendly nature.
Had No Motive.
81 did not attend the meeting simply
because I considered that 1 deserved
a vacation. and anyone familiar with
my work in the board will agree that
1 am on the job on every occasion in
the year. except In August, when I am
out of town. Although l had intended
to return to Belmar today, I shall stay
over and attend today's meeting"
A delegation Of forty-five members
of the Jr. O. u. A. NJ. appeared at the
meeting last night to protest against
the change Of evening school sessions
from Friday TO Wednesday nights.
After waiting for some time it was an
nounced that owing to the absence
from the city Of Commissioners Nc
Cabe and Breunig it was impossible to
get a quorum together. One of the
delegates said he had seen Mr.. Breunig
a short time before the meeting, and
two of the delegates went in search
of the absent commissions.
When he was found at his place Of
business there was a belief hat he
avoided the meeting so as to be absent
when the evening school matter was
discussed. Mr.. Breunig today, however,
denied any such motive.

Remarkable Scheme by Which
Man Gets Clothing, Cash,
Groceries, Etc.

Here's a nifty little scheme by which
one may give the alert and careful
authorities of the city Of Newark the
double cross, get a building permit for
nothing, pay for a large consignment
of groceries, q summer vacation or a
new suit in the bargain, and all with
a very small initial deposit that will
be returned in cash or value as soon
as you wish it.
Lyman Goldberg-trust Hyman for
it's the d~iscoverer of the double
action method of buncoing the city, the
tradespeople and the banking institu-
tons. Nobody has yet said that Hy-
man intended handing the city a jolt,
out the fact remains that he did so,
and a severe one at that.
1t happened thuswise: LYMAN paid
$25 for a permit emitting him to start
building operations at 1S4 Bowery
street. city building permits measure
approximately 7x3 inches. which acct
dentAlly happens to be about h size
of the ordinary bank check of COM
merce. Was Lyman long in discover
ing the resemblance which the building
inspectors cute little document bore to
the slips which sometimes cause paying
tellers to hand you the key of the
banks vaults? Not Hyman; he is a
business man., he is.
Placing his John Hancock''-which
in high finance p%arlance is the SYM
onym for "signaturep-on the reverse
side of the permit, Hyman presented
it at the store of Wilkinson & Gaddis
in this city, where 1t vas honored
without question.
