Among other matters, the ordinances
introduced at the last meeting TWO
weeks ago, viii be brought up for fur
ther action tonight. The ordinance
providing for the licensing and inspec-
ton Of barber shops win be handled,
Because of the opposition placed
against paying an annual license fee
by the boss BARRIERS, IT is probable that

eliminated.
Chairman Henderson of the sanita-
tion committee is in receipt of a COM
munication from the Central railroad
company, requesting him to notify their
local agent as to what changes and
improvements are demanded The
board will probably decide tonight to
adopt recommendation of that COM
mittee, that the mems toilet be en-
larged to take in the present baggage
room in the southwestern corner of tho
building and that the ladies toilet be
removed to more convenient and COM
modious headquarters
The new rules of the board. providing
for numerous new committees, addi-
tional meetings, etc, will receive final
attention tonight. They provide for
regular meetings the first and third
Tuesday nights of each month In that
way the present weekly meetings Of
the sanitation committee will be aban-
doned and the Board will hold meet
ings each Tuesday night.
The question of whether or not pIa-
carding for contagious disease shall be
abandoned, viii also arise tonight. The
subject viii be thoroughly discussed and
steps viii be taken to retain or aban-
don the present system, as best serves
the city and at the same time agrees
with the views of local physicians.

WEPT IN The
COURT ROOM
Joseph Miller Held For
Grand Jury On Charge Pre-
ferred by Landlady.
SAID HID STOLE $40

On a charge of petit larceny pre-
ferred by his landlady, Joseph Mil
Ter, twenty-three years old, was ar
rested yesterday afternoon and held
in default of 500 bail to await the
action of the grand jury.
Miller, who claims Newark as his
home, boarded with Mrs. Stella
Krauss, at 6I3 Charles street, this
city. A few days ago, she says, she
missed $40 and when she questioned
Miller, she further declares, he ad-
mitted having taken the money.
Stephen Soleski, resident of
Elizabeth street, testified in behalf
of Mrs. Krauss and said that Miller
had accosted him on the street and
had told him that he had taken the
money from his board mistress.
Miller denied the charge and wept
when Mrs. Krauss refused to drop
the complaint.

TO ESTABLISH
A PIER LINE
The Government Engineering
Corps Resumed Surveying
Along Water Front.
COMPLETE NEXT MONTH

A civil engineering corps, COM
posed of five men in the employ of
the government, resumed surveying
this morning to establish a pier
base-line in this city. The corps has
been idle for some time and this
morning began operations north of
Smith street along the water front.
The work is being conducted for
the purpose of ascertaining a base
line on the shore from which piers
may be run into the Staten Island
sound. At present there is no base
line in this city and in measuring
for a pier head engineers have been
compelled to calculate from the
Staten Island shore. Various diff
culties arose in measuring in this
manner and at times it became al
most impossible. The base line on
this shore, however, will eliminate
this.
The line is being established from
Port Reading to the Raritan Copper
Works in this city. The work has
been conducted by an appropriation
from the government and will be
completed in about month.

ISLAND Of GUAM
IS UNDEFENDED

If the japanese or any one else de-
sires a piece of United States territory
they may obtain it overnight by the
crook of their little finger, SO to speak,
without fear of formidable resistance.
This defenseless place is the Island
of Guam, or Exiled Island.'' in the
Arianas Islands. the American naval
station or ''half way house, between
Honolulu and Manila.
Everybody on Guam-that is. all
navy and marine officers and men who
are there on guardians been granted
vacation and is going away. They
Will take with them their only man
ofwar.
So the natives and other people left
there will be entirely at the mercy of
whatever peoples or pirates may have
designs upon them. The United States
flag will still fly over the islands. how
ever, unless it is rudely pulled down.
September 10 has been set for the
annual exodus of the Americans out of
Guam on annual leave. Capt. f. J..
Dorm. retired, who has been governor Of
the islands for several years, will cor
raj his little flock on the station ship
supply anu pun bu 4oI olphSdp
The Supply will have her annual va
cation for overhauling and reiuvena-
ton. While that is under way the Off
GERS and their families may 90 to Ma
Mia or roam the islands at Will for one
full month.
Usually some Of the officers slip away
to Japan or the China coast for a great
er change Of climate and scene.
Since Guam has been under the
American flag it has been quite the
proper thing fer the naval authorities
to ship to that island officers who didn t
thoroughly agree with them in the de
partment.
The colony was not increased by the
addition of any Of the officers recently
exiled from headquarters Of the Ma
rine Corps. There was m duty at Guam
becoming the rank of the high officers
involved Furthermore. the quarters
are full 10 overlooking at the present
time.
There are about 200 blueiackets On
the Supply. who also will enjoy their
vacation.
Late In October the little colony will
return to their island home If they
find the island still there and the Amer
lean flag not supplanted by some other,
they will renew their duties Of doing
nothing or next 70 nothing.
