tered and sentences given in a number
of cases before Judge Rellstab in the
United States Court today. The first

earthly, of Elizabeth, charged with ap-
propriating $40 to his own use from the
money order department of the Eliza
beth p~ostoffice. His counsel, former

pension of sentence becaus of tn good
charactr borne by Mccarthy before and
since the shortage.
Judge Rellstab told Mccarthy that
his character was such that he would
suspend sentence, and said he hoped he
would benefit from his experience and
never allow himself to get in such a
position again.

guilty, and sentence was suspended.

Especial to the Newark STAR

JERSEY CITY, May 2.-Police Com

waiting for the Street and Water
Board. to take steps to guard the public
from accident at the Erie Railroad cut,
where a boy fell in last week and was
fatally injured, has decided upon dras-
tic He conferred with In
spector Leonard yesterday and in
structed him to go with Police Captain
John Cody to the Erie cut and make
careful examination of the work. He is
to decide where the danger points are
and order the Willard Construction
Company or Erie Railroad officials ito
Immediately fence in the open spaces
beside the cut, especially where streets
and foot paths run. If the fences are
not constructed at once the police are
to stop all work on the cut until the
fences are erected.
Captain Cody said Commissioner
Lippincott, says that he has lot in
terfered before because the Erie people
have permission from the Street and
Water Board to do the work. | under
stand that the Street and Water Com
missioners and the railroad officials
cannot agree as to what kind of a
fence bee erected, the commissioners
wanting an iron fence and the rail-
road one of cement. I dc not care
what permanent structure may be
erected, but there must be built at
once a temporary fence to protect the
public. The police have instructions
to stop all work until such time as the
public is protected"

STREET CLEANERS ARE
TO HAVE NEW UNIFORMS.
Department Is Inspected AM
City Decides to Change Plan.

The annual inspection of the street.
cleaning department was held today at
the various stations throughout the
city. and at the same time preliminary
steps We're taken to institute a more
thorough system inv arious essential
details of the department.
1t has practically been decided to fur
nish the men in the eighteen districts
with new uniforms that will be of a
similar character throughout, the plan
In the past having been to let the men
provide their wv uniforms. The re-
suit has been that. while there was a
general attempt on the part of the men
to get white suits, there was little re-
gard to any particular style of outfit,
and much variety in uniforms naturally
resulted.
1t Is the purpose of the city to supply
the men with uniforms of a definite
style, and this will be one of the first
things that will be lone, according to
the present plans. There will also be
regular inspections of the various de-
partments of the street ceaning corps
and an effort made to stimulate a
closer working interest among the 300
men in the department.

JOHN 0. A. WARD,
NOTED SCULPTOR,
DIES IN NEW YORK
Aged Artist Succeeded in Life
Work Despite Many Dis
c~OuragemeRts.

NEW YORK, May John Quincy
Adams Ward, one of Americas greatest
sculptors, is dead at his home here In
his eightteth year. He had beer i'll for
three months. He is survived by his
widow, who was at the bedside, and by
a brother. Edgar Melville Ward, a
painter, who was in Chicago at the
time of the sculptor's death. Funeral
services will be held on Tuesday and
the funeral will be in Urbana, O., where
he was horn.
Mr.. Ward spent practically his entire
life In New York city, having come here
from Ohio in his youth. His first teacher
in the art of sculpture was Henry X.
Brown, with whom he collaborated on
the famous equestrian statue of Wash
ington in Union Square.
Among his other well-known works
are equestrian statues of Sheridan and
Hancock in Philadelphia. and in. New
York the statues of the Indian hunter.
the Pilgrim, Shakespeare, all in Central
Park; Henry Ward Beecher in Borough
Hall Park, Brooklyn; also statues of
Commodore Perry at Newport, r. l., and
Israel Putnam at Hartford. Conn. He
completed shortly before his death a
statue of Hancock fer the Smith Memo
rial in Paramount Park. Philadelphia,
which will be unveiled there next au-
tumn.
The ancestral Wards landed at James
town, Va, in 1907, and some of them
moved westward, in the course of time
stopping at Urbana, o., where JOIN
Quincy Adams Ward was born on June
20, 1880. He never saw a piece of sculp-
ture before he was Is years old, but long
before that he had learned how to make
such queer figures with mud and clay
that the country people called him
Wards queer boy"
One day he went to Cincinnati, where
he saw for the first time a piece of real
sculpture, the work of Hiram lowers.
Returning home, he attempted to mold
figures of his own, without encourage
ment from his parents. however. who
regarded the boys efforts as foolish
ness.
If it had not been for a sister the man
who has given to Americans the noble
figure of Washington in front of the
sub-treasury building might have re-
manned a humble resident of Urbana.
| The sister came from Brooklyn to visit
her parents and managed to arrange
for her brother to return with her to
| New York for instruction. Toward the
end OF seven years time he turned out
| the Indian Hunter. which is one of he
| notable bits of sculpture at present in
Central Park.
Mr.. Ward was married in 1859 to Anna
| Bauman. In 1878, several years after
the death of his first wife, he married
Julia Dovens Valentine. His third mar
rage. to Rachel NJ. Ostrander, took
place in 1906.
Mr.. Ward had been an academiclan
since 1863. He was vice-president OF
the National Academy of Design IN
1901. and president in 1872. He was
president of the National Sculpture SO
ciety from the beginning until 1896. He
was vice-president of the FINE Arts
Federation. trustee of the metropolitan
Museum. vice-president of the Century
Club and member Of many other art
societies.

J%ERSEY|TES. PLAN
POLITICAL CLUBS
IN WASHINGTON
Democrats Likely to Follow in
Footsteps OF Republicans,
Who Have Organized.
Especial to the Newark st.r.l

WASHINGTON, May 2.-If New Jer-
sey does not have a progressive and
popular society comprising the resi-
dents from that State in the District
of Columbia 1t will not be the fault
of the promoters, who have taken the
preliminary steps for the Organization
of a New Jersey Republican Club. The
club is fortunate in having the men,
bers OF the New Jersey delegation in
terested in it's welfare and enrolled in
its membership.
The preliminary organization of the
New Jersey Club has for its officers
the following: William j. Browning,
president; ]. A. George, secretary: j.
CT. Shreve, treasurer; committee on or
ganization, P. c. Belts, w. f. Reed
and w. f. Burns: committee on by
laws and constitution, William ].
Browning, j. G. Shreve, ID. II. Mclean
E. A. M. Lawson and Frank F. Max

Briggs, Representatives Howell, Parker,
Wiley, Wood and Loudenslager are all
interested in the society. The present
enrolment consists of fifty persons,
and it is believed there will be no
uiHiSully III ScttlHS Al chLoAiiiiSAt VI
at least $50 persons. There will be a
meeting for perfecting the permanent
organization on Friday evening, May ID.
Now that the Republicans are busy
perfecting an organization among the
residents OF the District of Columbia.
the Democrats who live here are dis
cussing the a~dvisability of a club. 1t
is believed there would be no diff
Guilty In organizing a good. lively DEM
ocratic club, since there are a number
of Jersey people here who allie
glance to the party of Jefferson. Repre-
sentatives Hughes, Hamil and Kinkead
would be glad to aid in organizing a
club of Democrats, and 1t is possible
something may be done along that
line in the near future.
After waiting a long time to be re-
lieved from the obligation which was
forced upon him by the regulations OF
the war department Lieutenant Allan
l.. Briggs. of the signal corps, formerly
n resident of Essex county, stands in
a fair way to get justice. The House
has passed the bill for his relief, which
will enable the war department, to
credit his account with the amount
which was stolen by his clerk, while
he was in the Philippines acting as dis
bursting officer. The amount was about
$4,000. and the man who took the
is still at large. Senator Briggs intro
duced a bill for his relief in the Sem
ate early in the present session.

station. and this much has been vir-
tually agreed to by the railroad Off :
