BARS HORNS
ON EVE OF
NEW YEAR
Police Will Enforce Order
Against Racket-Clubs
to Celebrate.

While an order by the police against
the blowing of. horns will make the
ushering in of the new year tomorrow
night less noisy than usual. the lack
of noise will be more than made up by
the good nature. hilarity and general
joyousness. Preparations are being
made by clubs, societies, fraternal and
otherwise, for observing New Years
Day in a way to make the memory
lnger at least until next New Years
Day.
Open house will be the order Monday
at all the clubs. At the headquarters
of the Leni Lenape Club the reception
of that organization and the Essex
County Democratic headquarters will
be combined, and the good things to
eat and drink that the members and
friends of both organizations have in
store for them will make a persons
mouth water. Tyler Parmly, chairman
of the county committee, will do the
honors on behalf of his organization,
and will receive the members of the
committee. Invitations have been sent
out to members, friends, city and
county officials, and general good
time is assured. The doors Will be
open for the celebration from l until
10 p. IN.
Because New Years eve falls on the
Sabbath the usual celebration incl
dental to this holiday Ill not be OBJ
served at most of the clubs. But
enough will be done on the day follow
ing to make up for lost time. The
Progress Club has arranged an elab-
crate program that will begin prompt
ly on the stroke of midnight, lasting
until the wee hours of New Years
morning.
There will be gay time at Repub-
lican headquarters, where all the newly
elected officials will be rendered re-
ception. All the assemblymen-elect are

this morning when four members of
the County Road Board were convict
ed OF accepting bribes from a firm of
road contractors.
The jury, which had gone out at 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon, reached 81
verdict at o'clock this morning, but

answer to the formal question, said
guilty calling the names of four of
the six men who had been indicted.
BY that time the news that verdict
was reached had gone out and the
courtroom was crowded to its capacity.
Supreme Court Justice Kalisch was
not present when the verdict was read
In his charge to the jury he directed
that a verdict of not guilty be brought
in the case of Director Doughty.
Freeholder Mason was acquitted, it is
thought. because of his great age.

men alleged to have been involved in
the election frauds of the county will
