CONTRACTORS BIDS ON
CITY JOBS IDENTICAL.
No Difference Whatever in
Figures Submitted by Firms.

JERSEY CITY, April 5.-Coinci-
dences again figured in the bidding for
contracts for street improvements at
yesterday afternoons meeting of the
Street and Water Board. Only recent
ly two rival contracting firms were the
lowest bidders, even to a fraction of a
cent. among half a dozen other firms
for two important contracts and they
settled the matter between themselves
by tossing coins.
Yesterday there were but two bidders
for three contracts for the repaving of
Baldwin avenue from Magnolia avenue
to Pavonia street, the repaving of
Grove street from Fifteenth to Six
teenth streets, and Fifteenth street
to Erie street, and the improvement of
First street in the vicinity of Jersey
avenue.
The specifications call for wood paw
ing blocks. The two rival bidders for
each of the three contracts were the
United States Wood Preserving Com
pany and the j. r. Stanley Contract
ing Company. Each firm bid Sc per
cent. of standard cost of labor and ma
terials for each of the three contracts
The matter was referred to the COM
mittees on streets and sewers

BURGLARS LOCK OUT FAMILY
WHILE THEY LOOT HOME.

WOODBURY., April 5.-Coming home
from Atlantic City while burglar was
at work in their home, Samuel S. Sneyd
and family were bolted out while the
thief escaped through back window.
Two men giving Philadelphia as their
residence have been locked up as sus-
poets. They declare they had been at
work at Gibbstown, and are boilermak-
ers, but can give no reason why one
was carrying big pair of scissors.
When the Sneyds finally gained en-
trance to their house, a dozen silver
fruit knives and few pins were all that
is missing, but several drawers were
found ransacked on both floors. With
the family resides Mrs. Andrews, Mrs.
Sneyds mother, and in her room is a
chest of silver. This was not disturbed.
The burglar gained entrance by jimmy
ing the window through which he es-
capped.

again. he went on. I'VE could not
reach an agreement. That was clearly
demonstrated and further talk would
have been useless. 1t is possible that
will introduce the State Board of AS
SCISSORS bill here today. Offhand, 1
would say that the chances are against
any legislation on revaluation at this
session, unless there is a radical change
of mind by some"
Senator Bradley and Majority Leader
Edge are frankly for the bill prepared
last week calling for an appropriation
of $4,000 for the work of revolution
and directing the State Board of AS
SCISSORS to do the work with
the assistance of special experts
to be under the supervision Of
Engineer Louis Focht. State Assessor
George E. Halsey, of East Orange, one
of the three members of the State
Board of Assessors, who have been
chosen by Governor Fort, is given the
credit of originating the plan to charge
that board with the performance of its
statutory duty rather than provide for
the revival of a special commission
such as is called for in the Smalley bill,
which calls for an appropriation Of
100000.
Senator Ackerman's railroad grade
crossing bill has passed into history
without being subject to a vote. This
fact became evident last night when
Mr.. Alderman himself introduced a
concurrent resolution instructing the
Public Utilities Commission to investi-
gate the question of abolishing grade
crossings throughout the State, and to
submit a plan covering the same at the
next session of the Legislature.

them. In the children's department
are to be found bewitching little hats
and bonnets in every shape, shade and
price. Nor have the boys been over
locked; suits, shoes and caps await
the bargain hunter.
Every department is heavily stocked
with the newest goods, bought special
ly for the season. The clerks are ap-
parently\ animated by the holiday
spirit, as they seem to know no weari-
ness.
The growth of the establishment has
been marvellous. Started in the tiny
13x50-foot store pictured here. it has
grown through several stages of de-
Velopment. Founded in 1870 by the
late Leopold Fox and L. Simon Plaut,
it has always remained under the man
agement of the Plaut family. The firm
from time to time. as opportunity Of
fered, bought the adjoining parcels of
land, until at present it owns the
square block, with the exception of two
small plots. bounded by Broad. Halsey
and Cedar streets and the canal.
A great new building is included in
the plans for the future. It is to be
one of the largest buildings used for
department store purposes in the coun-
try.
The growth of this business is sig
nificant, in that 1t has been coincidental
with the growth of the city.

FRAUD EP|THETS
FILL THE AIR At
k0RN|T HEARING
Presidents Lawyer Declares
Referee Exceeded Authority.
Demands Jury Trial.

The troubles of the Kornit Manufac-
turing Company were given further
airing before Referee Edwin G. Adams
in the Bankruptcy Court today, where
such sprightly sentences as "nefarious
schemes wildcat floating and lin
iquitous fraud" filled the air in the
course of an argument in an application
to throw the matter out of this court
on the ground of lack of jurisdiction.
The application was made by John j.
Vause. of New York, who appeared for
Charles E. Ellis. the president of the
concern. whose exploits. financial and
otherwise, have been frequently de-
tailed in the columns of the newspapers,
and it was Julius Henry Cohen, also of
New York, who used the sharp SEN
tences quoted in opposition to the appli-
cation.
The question of compelling Ellis,
Irwin R. Graves, the former vice-presi-
dent. and John Frederick Jones, the
patentee, to turn over 100000 in pay
ment for stock was also involved.
This court" said Mr.. Vause. has
no Jurisdiction because Mr. Ellis was
not properly served and brought into
this. AS president of the bankrupt
company he is not accountable for its
acts as individual. He cannot be held
TO appear as a stockholder or individ
ual 1t does not appear that Ellis was
a stockholder OF the company or he is
not subject to an assessment. There
is no law to justify any such proceed
ings as these.
Your honor" added the lawyer, had
no right to make any of the orders you
have made. The court certainly has
no right to fix an assessment, because
Ellis received no stock from the cor
poration The court cannot proceed
without his consent. There should be
a jury trial. These proceedings are
summary and arbitrary"
Neither Ellis nor any of the other
officers of the defunct concern We're
present Nathan Bilder. of Bilder &
Bilder lawyers, was recently appoint
ed trustee of the company.
At the close of the argument Referee
Adams decided to overrule the objection
as to Jurisdiction and to continue the
hearing on the other point April 13 in
New York city.

Nichols Predicts Disaster.
Assemblyman Isaac I. Nichols, of
Cumberland, predicted disaster for the
Republican party as mo longer the
friend of the people if bills increasing
salaries were passed with the whole
country protesting against the high cost
of living. He made his address in OPP
posing Senator Browns bill. increasing
Circuit Court judges salaries from
$500 to $4,000 year each where such
Judges sit in place of Supreme Court
justices. In replying Majority Leader
Edge said:
II do not agree with the gentleman
from Cumberland as to the future OF
the G. o. P.,sand l do not believe the
majority members here agree with him.
This 50, 900 salary is justified. The Sl,o0O
increase is needed. no doubt because of
that high cost of living of which he
speaks. 1 am willing to go before the
people and offer this as a Republican
measure"
Mr.. Minard, of Essex, spoke for the
bill. and then Mr.. Walsh, of Mercer,
took the opening offered by the ma
jority leader.
1.-The gentleman from Atlantic says
the high cost of living justifies $500
a year increase in the salaries of these
Judges" said Mr. Walsh. IF that in
crease is needed for the man who now
receives $500 year, will the gentle
man tell me where is the increase COM
ing from for the great army of men
who are working for s1.50 a day and
trying to support large families?"
The bill passed. so to 8.

man, Senator Beveridge, at this time
The real answer will he made at the
polls in November
1--WE are all of us for the reelection
of Albert j Beveridge to the Senate in
1911. In this campaign, so far as it
affects national politics, the reelection
of Senator Beveridge has become the
overshadowing issue, on account of the
principles in which we all believe and
for which he has stood and continues
to stand in the United States Senate.
THE Republicans of Indiana have
equal faith in the rugged honesty, great
capacity and ultimate triumph of the
chief executive of the nation, William
H. Taft. We are in full sympathy with
the remedial Legislation that he has
recommended to Congress. 1t requires
no prophet to foresee that two years
hence he will be the unanimous choice
of the Republican party for reelection.
I venture to say further that in his
campaign he will have no more loyal
supporters, no more able generals, no
more aggressive a4s4 determined fight
ers than Albert 3 Beveridge and The
odore Roosevelt"

BROOKLYN BANK,
WITH 100000
DEPOSITS, CLOSES
Former Comptroller GrOut, of
New York City, President
of Institution.

NEW YORK, April 5.-The Union
Bank of Brooklyn, a State institution
with seven branches in various parts
of Brooklyn borough, closed its doors
today and was taken in charge by the
State banking department.
Edward NJ. Grout, former comptroller
of New York city, is president OF the
institution, which has capital of $l-
000, 900 and deposits, according to its
last report of more than $6,000,OOO. In
ability to realize upon assets in time
to meet the demands of the banks bust
ness is assigned by President Grout as
the. reason for the closing.
The bank was organized in 1908 and
took over the business of the Me-
chanics and Traders Bank, which
closed during the 1907 financial panic.
Causes which ante-date the present
management and were beyond it's con-
troll made 1t impossible to reestablish
the bank, President Grout declared in
a statement today. He added his be-
lief that the assets were ample to pay
depositors in full. z
1t is not believed that the closing of
the Union Bank will adversely affect
any other financial institution. It's diff
it's affairs alone, 1t is officially declared.
Superintendent Cheney has issued
the following statement in regard to
the closing of the bank:
"As a result of an examination of the
Union Bank of Brooklyn by the bank
ing department meeting of it's direc~
tors was held Monday evening at the
office of this department to consider
r,1,a n n n
safe condition because of certain of
it's assets for the character of which
the present management is not re-
sponsible.
After deliberation the board reached
the conclusion that the bank should
not continue it's business. The board
accordingly requested the superintend-
ent to take possession. Pursuant to
that request and provisions of the
banking law the superintendent has
taken possession of the corporation"
The Union Bank of Brooklyn was or
ganized in 1908 and, according to its
last official report, has a surplus of
1863 300 deposits of s6,255,000 loans and
discounts of s5,32S,7 700 and cash hold
ings of $529,S00. President Grant made
the following statement:
"The officers and directors of the
Union Bank regret that they have
found it impossible to reestablish the
bank. They have spared no efforts to
that end and believe that causes of
their failure were beyond their control
and antedated the period of the man
agement. These causes, I ought to add,
relate to this institution alone, and the
closing of the Union Bank ought not
to affect any other banks in any man
ner.
THE trouble with us has been that
assets are such that we have been un-
able to realize upon them in time to
meet the demands of the business OF
the bank. I refer to the large amount
of real estate. and the various claims
whose payment is unavoidably de-
ferred These were all inherited by
the present officers of the bank. The
shortage of cash and a lot of assets
expresses the situation briefly.
81 have no doubt of the full payment
of every deposit as the assets are more
than enough for that purpose"

plant in Orange street. Instead he
spent the morning making out the
schedule for baseball games for the
Woodland A. c. Finishing this, he
went to a barber shop and returned
home about noon. He chatted with MS
sister Florence, telling her that he had
completed his baseball schedule. He
was alone in the house when Mrs.
Menke and Florence left after dinner
From what was disclosed later Menke
then calmly prepared to end his lie.
He went to his room and after closing
all the windows threw himself on the
bed after he had turned on the gas,
There his mother and sister found him
lifeless when they came home at
o'clock. Beside the bed on the table
were a number of letters to various
members of the athletic club and the
following note:
please forgive me for what I have
done. l have a few dollars coming
