HAS NO FAITH
IN TAX BOARD
Piscataway Man Appealed 10
Board of FreehoIders.
spso;a, to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
New Brunswick, Dec. 13:-George
lBrundage, of Piscataway, who owns
some low land in that section of the
county, has not much faith in the
county tax board. In fact he thinks
that the board is useless. MIR. Brun-
dage appeared before the members of
the Board of Freeholders at its spec
ial meeting held yesterday afternoon
in reference to an assessment which
the tax board levied upon his land
this year. He said that heretofore
the land was never taxed because it
Is valueless, but this year, he said,
the tax board compelled it to be as
sessed. Mr.. Brundage thought that
the freeholders had power yer the
county tax board, and laboring under
this impression he came before the
board to make his complaint.
This board has no jurisdiction
over the county tax board" said
Director Hendricks. 1.-THE rules of
the state board govern the county
board and we have nothing to a
over the members of that body"
NThen under these conditions what
am l to do" asked Mr.. Brundage.
go to the secretary of the board
and get an appeal blank, fill it out
and send it to the board" replied
Freeholder Hendricks.
But / haven't much faith in these
appeals" replied the speaker, "for
/ have done 1t before and it never
amounted to anything"
Mr.. Brundage said that the low
marshes, much of which are under
water, extend from Piscataway to
near Perth Amboy, making about
5000 acres in all. If he has to pay
taxes for his land he said that he will
expect to see the county erect bridges
access to them.
All the years that the land has not
been assessed the speaker said that
the different owners of the land made
their own bridges at their W ex-
pense, and the county and the town
ship was never put to any expense.
The money that the county would re-
ceive in taxes from the property
would not amount to anything in
comparison with the amount Of
that it would cost the county
to have bridges erected there. One
strip of land, he said. is about thirty
five feet wide and always has about
six feet of water in, which makes 1t
navigable./ 1t would require a large
bridge to be placed over this stream.
The freeholders assured him that
they did not want to spend any more
money for bridges than they really
had to as there were enough bridges
in various sections of the county to
take are of. They told him that the
only hope for him vas to take the
matter up with the members of the
tax board and take his case up with
them. Mr.. Brundage left the meet
ing and went looking for the tax
board meeting. There was no meet
ing of the tax board as the session Of
that body had been held in the morn
ing.

cially between the hours OF 7 and 8

The controversy between Messrs.
Dunn and Lee is the result of action
taken by the township committee chair

Mr.. Dunn rendered his resignation
Saturday morning. In his letter to the

to the meeting in question, which was
held December s. He ridieuled the

Editor EVENING NEWS:
A communication from Justice of the

issue of Saturday evening, which | feel
called upon to notice in order that the
public nay understand the facts of the
situation.
At the meeting of the Township
Committee on the evening Of the Sth,

by the advice of counsel, declared the
Office of Inspector of Police vacant, at
ter December 31st, on the ground thai
the once mas no IsEdi bAihteHte' 1hpto

Justice elegantly puts it, at the meet
ing. The action was purely a matter
of official duty and Mr., Dunn's person
ality cut no figure in the case.
The irate Justice s inuendo concern
ing q ssloan Office" has no bearing on
the question, as the chairman of the
COMMITTEES is not aware that he ever
solicited or received q loan, or any
other favor, from said justice. The

action on the part of Mr.. Dunn, as his
office had been declared vacant before
the resignation had been sent to the
township clerk. 1t has been suggested
that some recognition be made of the
energetic and laborious services of the
Judge in improving the police service
of the township, but as the matter will
require much grave and thoughtful
consideration action may be deferred
Until all the facts in the case have been
ascertained.

BACK DIRECT
PRIMARY LAW

Newark, Dec. 13:-About thirty
men, Democrats and Republicans,
from different sections of northern
New Jersey, met in the Continental
Hotel in Newark last night, lauded
the stand taken by Governor-eleet
Wilson in the United States senator
ial contest, scored the attempt of the
Democratic party organization to
disregard the moral obligation put
upon it by the direct primary vote
for preference for United States SEN
ator and formed the Democratic
Direct Primary League of New Jer-
sey. The meeting had been arranged
by invitations sent out by Julian A.
Gregory. mayor-elect of East Orange.
He was elected president of the
league.
The other officers are Alexander r.
Fordyce, vice president; Edmund A.
Whittier. secretary, and j. C. Sprigg,
treasurer. At the close of the meet
ing the following resolution was pre-
pared by Samuel Kalisch, J. C. Sprigg
and Edward H. Wright, Jr., to be
sent to Governor-elect Wilson:
BE it resolved by the Democratic
Direct Primary League that we ex-
tend to the Honorable Woodrow VIII
son the hearty and active support of
he league to attain the preservation
of the moral pledge of the Democra-
tic party on the senatorial question:"
Personalities were not INDUCED in
by the meeting to as great an extent
as had been expected. Each speaker
declared that no individual nor group
of individuals was concerned in the
fight it proposed to make, but that
the principle of direct primaries and
the moral pledge of the democracy
of the state to the people on the SEN
atorial question would be the sole
feature of the contest. 1t was decid-
ed to have a series of meetings
throughout New Jersey, the question
of asking DIR. Wilson to stump the
counties to be left to the league ex-
~eeutiye committee.
In opening the meeting Mr.. Greg
CRY explained that its object was to
lurge upon the members of the Iegis-
lature that the primary decision
must be upheld in order to keep the
pledge of the Democratic party to
give the people what they want and
to insure q continuance of the party
In power. 1t Is not a question of de-
feating James Smith, Jr., he said, as
he has already been defeated by the
decision OF the people. He declared
that "Mr. Smith VIII not be your
United States senator for the nextss six
! years"
Mr.. Gregory declared that when
the governor-elect gels ready to talk
further he via fertify bis position
with startling facts. He also de-
clared that tina action of DIR. Wilson
in going to the home Of Mr. Smith
last week and delivering his ultima
tmm and then doing exactly as Id
said he would do Indicated h1n
strength of character.

Woodruff has Joined the divorce COL
ony there and as soon as she is sep
arated from her present husband,
will return to Atlantic Highlands to
marry a prominent resident here.
The Woodruhs made their sum-
mer home here last season and Mrs.
Woodruff was a prominent member
of the Casino Club. The attentions
paid her by a well known merchant
here was freely commented upon. 1t
is said that she would take a spin
out of town In her automobile and a
short time afterward the merchant
would be seen going in the same di-
rection In his auto. A half hour
later one or the other of the ma
chimes would be found standing by
the side of the road empty where 1t
would remain for a greater part OF
the day.
Mr.. Woodruff was a commuter,
going to New York every day, and IT
is a question whether he knew all
that was going on. He is president
of the New York Last Company.
A dispatch to the New York World
this morning tells of a dance in Re-
no recently, during which Mrs.

had Lionel Lawrence as her man
ager. They were at a little dinner
party on the roof Of the New York
theatre when somebody dared"
Miss Winfield to marry Lawrence.
She married him at midnight and d.
vorced him two years later. At the
trial 1t APPEARED that she was the
fifth Mrs. Lawrence.
While travelling as solo vfolinist
with Sousa, Mrs. Woodruff first met
her present husband, a native OF
Boston and a Yale man. Mr.. Wood
ruff followed her I'VE Europe and
paid her such devoted attentions that
his wife divorced him. He settled
100000 on their child and allowed
her $50 a week alimony. She and
the child are living in Germany.
Mr.. Woodruff's marriage to the
charming violinst was not generally
known unit March, 1898, when they
were living in an apartment, No. 1877
East Forty-sixth street. Mrs. Wood
ruff was going to a drug store to
get something for a headache. She
became dizzy, fell and struck her
head. She was taken to the New
York Hospital, then home and soon
was we'll again. Mr.. Woodruff said
then they had been married two or
three years." but he did not go into
