EXAMINATION OF
ALL CITY BOOKS
NOW PROPOSED
Present Probe Into Missing
Auditors Affairs May Be
Extended.
INVESTIGATION REVEALS
AFFAIRS BADLY TANGLED
Delying Has Cost City $1,000
to Date-WiIl Take
Twice That.

While the examination of the books
and records of City Auditor George
Forman, who mysteriously disappeared
several months ago. has up to July 81
cost the city s3,o00 and may cost as
much more TO complete, it is con-
sidered a wise expenditure and may
lead to further inquiry that might re-
suit In an annual saving OF many thou
sand dollars.
This applies particularly to depart
ments like the board of works which
now with an annual income of approx
mately s1.OOO,o0o, follows practically
the same system that was in vogue
when the income did not exceed $780,
600 year. Coupled with the probe into
the missing AUDITORS affairs a complete
investigation of all city departments
might be conducted at relatively
small cost.
Affairs Are Tangled Yet.
The second report of the experts en-
gagged to go over the books and records
of the missing city auditor was sub
mitted to the finance committee of the
Common Council last night, and II is
evident from the report that the work
of Strengthening out the tangle is yet
far from completion.
To bear. out the experts contention
that it would require several months
to get anywhere near a complete re-
port. the representatives said at last
nights meeting that they had now
reached point where the greatest care
was necessary in order to get any kind
of a satisfactory idea of where the city
stood in a number Of accounts that
had been badly neglected.
The report stated among other
things: For the five years prior to
December 81. 1909, numerous accounts
were opened in the ledger referring to
certain funds and revenues, but for
some unexplained reason these ac.
counts were never continued and were
abandoned to sopen other accounts OF
an entirely different nature. Many old
accounts were allowed to remain open
long after they should have been closed
and the method of carrying forward
other entries almost defies analysis
The committee VIII ask the firm
whose experts are at work on the books
to give the city some idea of how long
it will take to get toy the end of the
task. 1t has cost the taxpayers more
than $1,000 so far to get at the real
condition of the books. and at the pres
ent rate of progress It win be a long
time before the work is at an end.
If il is seen that the examination
will run to an unreasonable length of
time it may be that some lines Of the
investigation will be abandorfed and
fContsnued on second Page.l

WOMAN WITNESS
SAW MEN WITH
SLAIN ITALIAN
Watched Victim and Two Com
panions Alight from Train
and Saw Pistol Flash.

Contrary to the belief held by the
police that the two supposed slayers of
Salvatore Catalano. of New York, who
vas murdered in the Silver Lake sec
ton of Belleville early Sunday morn
ing. did not get off the 1921 train on
the Erie railroad in Silver Lake, It has
been positively ascertained by Chief of
Police Michael Flynn. of Belleville, that
the three men did alight from the train
and that Catalano was murdered about
one minute and half later.
This information has been cleaned by
Chief Flynn from the wife of promi-
nent Silver Lake man whose residence
is close to the railroad station. The
woman was awakened by the loud
talking of the trio. and on looking
out she saw them standing there.
The woman says that the language
used by some of the men was unfit for
repetition, and was also of threaten
ing nature. The informant. whose
name is not disclosed, says that she
watched the strangers walking up the
street and then saw the flash of the
shot which put the New York Italian
to death.
The woman was afraid to waken her
husband and did not tell him of the oc-
currence until it was time to arise SUM-
day morning. She saw two murderers
fee.
Policeman Louis Bonnello, of Belle
vile, who has been working with
Plainclothesman Thomas Adubato and
Detective Hargan on the case in New
York city, got in Communication with
Chief Flynn early today and reported
the incident which occurred in New
York in which the police almost had
what they were positive were the two
murderers when brother of the slain
man, Antonio Cetalano, furnished
their plans by over-anxiety to avenge
the death of his brother yesterday

they can fasten the cold-blooded crime
upon when they appeared Catalano

that the Newark men. with the assist
ance of the metropolitan detectives. will
capture the two.

BOLT FELLS FIVE
men, 4 HORSES,
NONE INJURED
Lightning Also Throws TeIe-
phone Operators from Switch
boards in South Orange.

A bolt of lightning which spiintered
a pulley pole in the rear OF Charles M.
Decker & Bros grocery store. at South
Orange and Vose avenues. South
Orange. yesterday afternoon. threw
five employees of the store in a heap on
the floor and knocked down four horses
which were standing near by. a metal
house in which 500 gallons of kerosene
oil are kept. less than foot away
from the pole. was filled with smoke
and the village fire department was
summoned.
The force Of the flash salso put out
the electric lights in the Decker store
and in the Taylor building near by. In
the telephone exchange two doors away
the operators were thrown> from the
switchboards in a dazed condition.
In this city. also. lightning struck In
several places. doing considerable dam
age.
Men Are Dnxed.
The Decker employees who were
thrown to the floor were in the rear
of the building. They are Ray Cramer.
John Mclaughlin, Harry Davis, John
Anderson and Joseph Nagei. The men
had no knowledge of how they had
been sent sprawling. SO sudden was the
shock. When they arose they found
the horses. which, were hitched to de-
livery wagons. lying on this ground.
None OF the men sware injured. but it
was believed for some fine that one of
the horses would de. 1t recovered.
however.
When the fire department reached
the place the oil-house was filled with
smoke, but no fire could be located.
After returning to FIRE headquarters a
second alarm was given and they re-
turned, but again failed to locate the
fire. That the oil was not set aflre is
believed to be almost a miracle be-
cause of the manner in which the pole
was burned and splintered
During the storm several Newark
houses were struck by lightning. None
of the resulting fires was serious and
all were easily handled by the Salvage
Corps.
A flash of lightning set the switch
board on fire at the Bergen Street
School. causing about $50 damage. The
Universal Iron Works. at 25-29 Wright
street, was also struck and the roof
damaged to the extent of about $50.
The roof of the home of Henry Keller,
at 500 Sixteenth avenue, was merely
singed by q lightning bolt. and about
$50 damage was done when a bolt
struck the roof of H r. PeaPs house.
at 40 Farley avenue.
Trolley traffic east on Market street
was held up completely during the
storm through sand and dirt sitting
through the switch at the loop near the
Market street station

SCOTLAND YARD DENIES
ALLEGED CONFESSION,

LONDON. Aug. 4.-Superintendent
Froest, of Scotland Yard. again today
gave his personal assurance that not a
single word has been received from In
spector Dew to indicate that DR.. Grip
pen had confessed. He added that If a
confession had been made he certainly
would have been informed.
Scotland Yard is kept busy denying
all sorts of rumors concerning Crippen
and Miss LIE Neye, the most recent de-
scribing an alleged confession by the
doctor. emanating from Quebec. Su-
perintendant Froest treated the report
lightly, intimating that Inspector Dew
would not be likely to give out infor-
nation in Quebec which he had not FIRST
cabled~ to headquarters here.
The question whether Crippen and
his companion have been married has
been revived because of the bearing up-
on the status of the woman as a pos
sibIe witness against Crippen It is
known that the police are hoping that
Miss LIE Neve will make a witness for
the crown, but If 1t is proven she is the
wife of the doctor she may refuse abso-
lutely to take the stand against her
husband.
Discussing this feature of the case to-
day. Superintendent Froest said that an
exhaustive official investigation had
failed to produce any evidence of such
a marriage. Accordingly, he said the
warrant for the womanss arrest was
made out against Ethel Glare LIE Neve
and not against Mrs. Crippen.
Solicitor Newton. who has been re-
tanned to defend Dr. Crippen, made his
1lrst move today when he filed for
NAL application asking the authorities
to permit an independent physician to
examine the hits of human flesh found
in the Crippen cellar. Solicitor Newton
viii contend that they cannot Ak the
sex Of the body andsprove that it was
Halla Elmore.

DES MONIES, Ia, Aug. 4.-In a
stormy convention, controlled at every
step by Progressives, Iowa Republicans
late last night denounced the Payne
Aldrich tariff as not being fulfilment
of the pledges of the national Repub-
lican platform of two years ago ana
gave cordial Endorsement of the action
of Senators Cummins and Dolliver and
the insurgent members of the lower
House in refusing to support the tariff.

Tariff II Condemned.
The tariff plank adopted reads:
1--WE do not recognize the revision of
1909 as a satisfactory fulfilment OF the
party promise. We profoundly believe
that when the tariff is again revised its
schedules should be considered separ-
ately. SO that each subject may be dealt
with on it's own merits and thus secure
fair and impartial action on the part Of
Congress"
The platform concludes with an In
dorsement of the postal savings bank
bill, suggesting that the law should
provide that savings deposited with
these banks shall remain on deposit for
use in THE communities where the de-
posits are made. The policy OF conser-
walton of natural resources, income tax
and good roads are upheld.

Flood Cleanses Paris.

Paris, Feb. THE fall of the river
Seine was more rapid today. The ap
pearance of the city is approaching the
normal, but the subways system is still
imperative. Water remains in the
tubes, which, after they have been
emptied, must be cleaned and disinfect-
ed. The progress toward the restors-
tion Of the lighting, telephone and tel
egraph lines is slow. The work of dis
infection and other precautions against
an epidemic of typhoid has been so
thorough that some of the newspapers
predict that Paris will not only es-
cape contagion but will emerge from
the flood cleaner than before.
The superintendent of sewers re-
ports that from the examinations
which he has been able to make, few
of the sewer mains burst, the ruptures
occurring iu the branch pipes leading
into buildings.
Despite the attempts of some of the
opposition papers to make il appear
that dissensions prevail among the
various relief organizations, investigs-
tion indicates that all are cooperating
with zeal. Foreign contributions to
the relief fund today reached total Of
about 500, 600.
