STEPS TAKEN FOR FREE
LIBRARY IN HARRISON.
Trustees Organize and Request
Use of Room for Institution.

Definite action was taken toward the
establishment of a free public library
in Harrison at a meeting of the Free
Public Library trustees last night in
the Harrison Town Hall. Mayor Joseph
p. Riordan called the meeting to order
and the following permanent officers
were chosen; President, Miss Mary
Rice; secretary, Miss Mary McGovern;
treasurer, Miss Cecilia Sullivan. Peter
Hauck, ST., and William j. Davis are
the other appointive members of the
commission. Mayor Riordan and Su-
peryising Principal of the Harrison
Public Schools John Dwyer are by vir-
tue of their offices members of the
board.
A resolution vas adopted requesting
the Harrison Common Council to pro-
vide a room in the town hall for library
purposes. The council chamber will
probably be used for the purpose until
a permanent place is rented or erected.
Councilman John j.. DAILY is the man
who deserves the credit for a library in
the town. At a meeting some months
ago he pointed out the need of such
an institution in the town and the
matter met witt general approval.
At the election in November the ques-
ton of whether a library should be
established was placed before the peo-
pie as a referendum, and the vote re-
suited in an overwhelming victory for
the proposition.

ARREST Of
DR.. HYDE, ACCUSED
IN SW0PE'S DEATH
Coroner Awaits Verdict of Grand
Jury and Plans to Probe
Nepilew's Case.

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 10.-No arrest
in the Swope case following yesterdays
verdict of the coroner's jury, that the
millionaire philanthropist, Colonel
Thomas H. Swope, came to his death
through strychnine administered at the
direction Of DIR. B. c. Hyde, had been
ordered up to this forenoon and none
vas expected today.
That a grand jury will be asked to
take up the case, and that no warrant
would be sworn out until that body has
made it's recommendations was the
statement made by an attorney this
morning. All persons connected with
the case were unwilling to be quoted
on what action that might be next
taken. The different sets of attorneys
spent the morning in secret confer
ences. At the offices of Virgil Conk-
ling, county prosecutor, and Coroner
Zwart, the case was discussed behind
closed doors.
The coroner, it was asserted, was
planning to hold an inquest over the
body of Chrisman Swope, nephew OF
Colonel Swope, as soon as the Chicago
chemists finished their examination OF
the nephew's viscera.
In the meantime witnesses whose
dispositions were desired in the libel
suits brought by DR.. Hyde were being
sought by the attorneys for both sides
of these cases. The deposition-taking
had been stopped by the first inquest
at Independence.
DR.. Hyde, DR.. Ludwig Hektoen, the
Chicago toXicologist, and Mrs. Logan
o. Swope all have been subpoenaed.

APPROVE BILLS OF
sI4,205 INCURRED
IN HATTERS' STRIKE
FreehoIders' Committee Recon-
mends Settlement of the
Sheriff's Expenses.

The finance committee of the Board
of Freeholders will recommend to the
full board his afternoon the payment
Of bills for special deputies incurred by
Sheriff William Harrigan during the
hatters' strike in Orange last year.
One bill of Sheriff Harrigan's, and
others made out by Under-Sheritf
Charles Reilly, Constable Charles L.
Hummel and John f. Kane and Patrol
man Thomas S. Adubato, were disap-
proved.
The total amount approved by the
committee is S14, 05,21, and this amount
will probably be granted by the full
board.
The report of the subcommittee of
the finance committee, to whom the
bills were referred for adjustment, fol-
lows:
Your committee. to whom the sher-
iff's bills on account of the hat strike
were referred, begs to report as fol-
lows: I'm
vices of special deputies for $4,549.29,
S5,14T.75 and $4,51S.17. respectively, are
correct in accordance with the time
sheets kept by the sheriff and we
referred to the board for payment.
We have inspected the bills of
Charles Il. Hummel and John f. Kane
for extra services as c~onstables and
we find that for practically all of the
days covered by these bills these men
were paid for attendance as constables
constable can receive pay for services
attending court and also claim pay for
the same time on the same day in
performing some other service. Their
may be some items in these bills
which could rightfully be claimed as
extra time or overtime, but we could
not undertake to separate the items,
and therefore recommend that these
bills of Constables Hummel and Kane
should not be allowed, but should be
returned to the sheriff for adjustment
and correction.
Constable Abram S. overmiller has
submitted a bill for $40 for extra SER
vices. This man is also a, court con-
stable and was paid during the time
ing court, but from the way the bill is
made up 1t would appear to us that 1t
is for services, performed outside Of
the payment of this bin.
Constable Hummel has submitted a
bill for $3.50. 80 for carfares and Incl
dental expenses. Constables attending
court are not allowed extra compensa-
tion for meals or travelling expenses
and il does not seem to us that there
In any good reason why a constable
should receive such extra compensa-
lion when performing some other duty;
IDeTe1Ore we TtcOIilileuu lHdl lnlS bili
should not be allowed.
The sheriff has submitted bills for
meals furnished from June 5. 1909,
TO November s. 1909, a~ggregating
So, 096. 95, and we recommend that these
bills should not be allowed for the
same reason that Constable HummePs
bill should not be, allowed,
The sheriff's bill for $49.75 for mis-
cellaneous expenditures we believe
should be allowed. because 1t includes
such items as carfares for deputies
and c~onstables, carriage hire and

CITY HALL AND ANNEX ARE
INSPECTED BY COMMITTEE.
Council Building Board Looks
Over Structures.

An inspection of the City Hall and
annex was made this afternoon by the
members of the Common Council COM
mittee on public buildings. The plumb
ing work, repairs to which have been
a heavy expense to the committee,
vas examined, as well as the machin :
cry in the engine room.
The annex roof, which leaked badly
and was never properly mended, was
also inspected. The amount of paint
ing and general repair work on the
buildings will also be ascertained by
the committee. At 4:30 bids for sup
plies will be opened.

presented to you for expenses in dyna-
mite investigation. From an inspec-
ton of this bill it appears to us that
the expenses arc for meals and carfare,
which we deem improper for the
reason above given; also some of the
items appear excessive. Therefore. we
recommend that this bill should not
be allowed.
Charles Reilly has submitted a bill
for $17S.20. Mr.. Reilly is a salaried
officer and not entitled to extra COM
pensatfon for meals and expenses, and
therefore we recommend that this bill
SHOULD not be allowed.
We believe that, under the circum-
stances, it was necessary for the
sheriff to provide a place of shelter
for the deputies while on duty In Or
ange and therefore we recommend that
the bills for store rent, $50, chairs, SIS,
and for %janitor services, $S4, should
be signed and reformed to the board for
PAYMENT.

SCORNFUL SPLITTER, WHO
IGNORED OFFICERS, FINED.

Because Adolph Schulz. a real estate
man, of 734 Caldwell avenue, Manhat-
tar, thought that two inspectors of the
health board might be pickpockets, and,
therefore. refused to accept their warn
ing against splitting on the sidewalk,
yesterday he was before Judge Hahn
in the First Criminal Court today on q
charge OF havin: violated the city or
dinance.
Not only did Schulz refuse to believe
the inspector, when he said, Honest, I'm
an Inspector, look at my badge" but he
also heaped scorn and contumely pon
both and asked whether or not it was
true that they owned the sidewalks.
HI was fined $40.

ARREST HOBOKEN
MAN WHO FOUND
BAR0NS JEWELS
Bartender Also Jailed in Theft
of Black Diamonds Taken
from Valet.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-Baron Bal
binger-Seidenberg, Of the German no
bility. vowed today at the Hotel Plaza
that he would never again intrust his
precious black diamonds to his valet.
He made that vow after he had recoV-
cred his jewels, which a been miss
ing since Friday. They are worth
$1,000.
Detectives who had been concealed
behind curtains in the baron's rooms
when the jewels were brought back
arrested the man who returned them
and later arrested a bartender who
had peer with the baron's valet the
night the gems disappeared.
The man arrested in the baron's
rooms said he was Rex Lion. of 167
Hudson street, Hoboken, and the bar
tender was Walter Hu%elsebush, of ia
River street, Hoboken.
The baron came here ten days ago
on the Mauretania and it is said he
expects to wed a society girl who lives
in Fifth avenue, between Sixtieth and
SEVENTEEN streets.
Went stO Niagara.
Her name could not be learned. Last
Friday the baron went to Niagara Falls
and his valet, Alfred Gardner, accom-
panied the baron to the train. Before
leaving the baron gave Gardner an en-
velope containing two diamond rings,
one set with a single black diamond,
the other with a black diamond sur
rounded by seven small diamonds. The
rings had been in the baron's family
for 500 years, he says, The envelope
was addressed to his fiancee, and Gard
ner was instructed to deliver 1t to her.
Gardner says that he stopped at the
saloon of John Winter at Sixth ave-
nue. and Fifty-ninth street, drank with
the bartender, Huelsebush, and showed
him the envelope, telling him it con-
tanned Jewels worth 5000. According
to the valet Huelsebush took him to a
saloon at Fifty-second street n Sixth
avenue, where in the back room Gard
ner says he went to sleep. When he
woke up he was alone and the envelope
was gone.
The baron returned from Niagara
Falls Sunday, Gardner told him of the
loss, detectives were employed and adj
vertisements were put in the news
papers directing the person having the
jewels either deliver them at the adj
dress on the envelope or at the Hotel
Plaza.
When Rex Lion called on the baron
and showed the envelope with the rings
the concealed detectives ~pounced on
him. Lion said he had found the en-
velope at Sixth avenue and Fifty-ninth
street.
The detectives say when they arrested
H~uelsebush the bartender confessed
having taken the envelope from Gard
ner's inside pocket. Detectives saw
Lion and H~uelsebush in Hoboken to-
gether, they say. Huelsebush is charged
with grand larceny and Lion is charged
with having received stolen goods.

BOTTLE FIND
LEADS TO SUICIDE THEORY.

An empty choral bottle was picked
up yesterday near the spot where the
skeleton of a man was found in the
marshes near the Belleville bridge in
Arlington Tuesday. The find, which
was made by STAR reporters, seems
to indicate that the man committed
suicide.
The label on the bottle read Quar-
ter pound choral hydrate, loose crys-
tails. Merck & Co. New York" Merck
& Co. are wholesalers and as the name
of the retailer did not appear, the
police have ~despaired of establishing
the identity of the skeleton by this
m ans. The bottle was taken to p. J.
Condon's morgue in Harrison, where
the skeleton lies.
A woman who said she was Mrs.
Mary Richards, of 81 Passaic avenue,
called at the morgue yesterday, be-
lieving. the skeleton to be her hus-
band. She was unable to identify it,
however. Another woman also met
with nc success.

While the price of meat has not been

They also look for a larger decrease in
the sales, now that the Lenten season

There was a marked decrease in the

The cause, as one retail dealer said,
being that the hens in the South are

VETERAN EDUCATOR
 RECEIVES STATUE
Beadle Day. General Gel
 ebrated in Dakotas

PIERRE, $. D., January 22.-Pursu- ant to a movement started by the state educational association, special exercises in celebration of "Beadle Day. were held in the public schools throughout South Dakota today. The purpose was to arouse public interest in the plan for the erection of monument in the new state capitol in honor of the memory of w. H. NJ. Beadle, who was the ioneer of educational work in the Dakotas.
 In 1869 General Beadle was appointed surveyor-general of Dakota and in the years that followed he devoted his en. tire attention to the development of the resources of the territory. From 1879 to 1885 he was superintendent of public instruction and under his direct ion the entire school system was organ iZed.
 General Beadle was native of In diana and graduate of the Univer- sity of Michigan. In 1861 he entered the army as first lieutenant of an Indi- ana regiment and at the close of the war was brevetted brigadier-general. After the war he practieed law for sew eral years in Wisconsin before taking up his residence in Dakota.
