CONSTABLES FIND LOST
BILLS IN SHERIFF'S DESK.
Once Rejected Claims for Over
time to Be ReCOnsidered.

Constables Charles F. Hummel and
John s. Kane appeared before the
finance committee of the Board of
Freeholders yesterday afternoon in an
effort to ascertain what had become Of
their bills for extra services rendered
during the hatters' strike last ear.
Hummel and Kane We're on duty in
Orange during June and July last. n
it was charged by the finance commit
tee that their bills for extra time were
excessive in that they had charged for
triple duty, that is, had put in a claim
for day and night duty at Orange, while
still drawing per diem salary from the
county for duty at court.
The bills we're held up at the Febru-
arv meeting of the Board of Freehoiders
and referred to a subcommittee of the
nance committee for investigation.
They We're returned to Sheriff Harrigan
for information and carefully reposed in
n pigeon hole in his desk until yester-
day. when a search brought them to
light.
Hummel proved to the COMMITTEES that
the ONLY days on which double time was
asked for was on Sundays and holidays,
when the constables receive no per
diem salary from the county. The bills
will be acted upon at the next meeting
of the finance committee, April p.

CARPENTERS UNIONS
MAY BE SUSPENDED.
Building Trades Council Threat
ems Drastic Action.

There was a warm discussion among
the delegates at the Building Trades
Council last night over the failure of
from the new Prudential building Mon
day in accordance with the alleged
agreement of the business agent of the
union last Saturday, that unless the
Operative Plasterers were given con-
troll of that elias sof work all of the
A. r. of l.. union men would quit.
While the meeting last night was an
executive session it was learned today
that much of the blame for the failure
of the sympathetic strike was laid to
the carpenters organizations, both the
Amalgamated and Brotherhood men.
who, it is alleged, did not call a man
off the work. Several other unions
were charged with duplicity, but the
carpenters were said to be the chief
offenders. and it was finally decided
to have the secretary notify them that
if they do not decide tonight to call
their men put they will be suspended
from the council. The other organiza-
.tions will be looked after later.
In speaking about the matter today
one of the delegates to the council
aid ut is safe to say that the car
penters do not care a great deal wheth-
er they are suspended or not, for it is
only a few months G that they We're
called upon to urge the Hedden Con-
struction Company not to sublet the
plastering work, which was done, and
now they are to support the Operative
Plasterers in their contention, to con-
troll the work which is being done by
the Bricklayers and Masons' men. l
do not think that the carpenters will
put up with that, nor the contractors.
at is simply asking the carpenters
to violate their agreement with the
contractors to force them to comply
with the demands of the council to
support the Operative Plasterers."

picturesque promenade around Military

Within FIVE minutes walk of h heart
of the commercial life of Newark you
will hnd on Broad street II of the
most aristocratic residential sections
in the city. while FIVE minutes walk
further south takes you to a section
that cannot lay claim to quite the same
distinction. Most of the people who
pass up and dow Broad street several
times a day are unfamiliar with the
exact location of numerous streets that
lead off this important thoroughfare. 1t
is really surprising how little New
arkers know about their own city's
streets, and outside Of the main arteries
of travel the other streets might as
well be nameless.

people cross Broad street at Market

Former President Declares Exs
perience at 8 A. M. Was
Most Impressive.

FENCE, April 14.-Mr. Roosevelt
was rowed through a stretch of the
Canal Grande in the darkness of the
carly morning today and declared the
experience to be more impressive than a
sight of Venice by moonlight. Mr..
Roosevelt arrived here by train at 3
O'clock this morning and departed at
ECO this afternoon for Vienna.
he former President was accom-
.hedffrom Porto Maurizio by Kermit
Roosevelt, Lawrence Abbott, two Sec
r~etaries and several American news
paper men. He was met at the rail-
way station by American Consul James
V. Long and Commander Andrew 7.
Long, American naval attache at Rome
and Vienna. The party entered hooded
%gondolas, which threaded their way
swiftly through the narrow canals to
the hotel, wherg apartments had been
reserved. The reflection of the street
lights in the inky waters, the gloomy
+ facades of beautiful places rising on
either side, and the quiet of the hour
broken only by the melancholy cries
of the gondoliers as corners were APP
preached, were commented upon by
Mr.. Roosevelt and his son, both Of
whom enjoyed the trip immensely.
Reaching the hotel the Roosevelts
4retired at once, but were up again at
rs o'clock n after breakfast started out
ION a sightseeing tour. They visited
st. Marks Cathedral, a monument of
fthe ancient magnifcence of Venice; the
Palace of the Doges. several museums,

Duke of Abruzzi Calls.
- Mr.. Roosevelt and Kermit returned
'3io their hotel at Has o'clock and a
Jew minutes later a gorgeous steam
1aunch puffed up to the landing stage
u the hotel and the Duke of the
Abruzzi stepped out. The duke was
lArf ssed in civilians clothes. He was
AN.ended by Marquis Turazzo, his aide,
full uniform. The duke was con-
fhcted Immediately to MIR. Roosevelt's
apartments.
III Early this. morning the duke, who is
' how in command of the naval arsenal
here, had sent his aide to the hotel
with a message of greeting for Mr..
Roosevelt and expressing a desire TO
personally pay his aspects to the for
i1er President.
BY a coincidence, Grand Duke Ferdl-
Hand of Austria, who arrived this
y morning from his villa OF the island
Of Brione in the Adriatic, was at the
same time in the hotel ~incognito, with
Tie grand duchess.
Silas McBee, editor of the Church
p man. of New York, had breakfast with
Mr. Roosevelt. The former President
was made acquainted today with the
action Of the United States Supreme
Court in ordering a reargument of the
cases of the government against the
American Tobacco Company n the
Standard Oil Company, but offered no
comment.
The call of the Duke of the Abruzzi
upon Mr.. Roosevelt lasted for forty
minutes. When the former, on taking
his leave, reached the corridor of the
hotel he greeted the American news
paper men with a smile, but did not
wait to be interviewed. Stepping
Quickly to the landing he jumped into
his launch, the Nella, the boatsman
called out "Shove off, and the duke
was gone.

point OUT facts that residents OF the
city are unfamiliar with.
On the west side OF Broad street
there are only two saloons from Bridge
street south to the end of the street, a
distance of about a mile and three
quarters. 1t Is very doubtful il any
city in the country of n size can
show the same condition on its main
street.
Near the City Hall there Is a block
containing one church, two doctors.
two undertakers and two florists. AS

captured from the Bclen ninc all the
hOnors in the game of baseball at

The baseball game was perhaps the
poorest Of the sports presented at Al

was interesting only from the
fact thai Belen had been rather
confident and even the Oldest OF the
local fans, was surprised ut the
showing made. The Freight office
aggregation made many errors, but
they also landed many safe hits. fore
ing Belen to use up three pitchers.
Cornish and Grounds did the best
twirling for tile Belen crowd. O'Ran-

the batters down in good shape.
While the Belen bunch could not
qualify for anything big in the base-
ban line, they were a clean cut bunch
and took their medicine in sports
manlike manner After the game
they were entertained by the Freight
Office boys with q smoker and a pic

were strengthened by several exeep-
