Lorimer of the charge of being the
beneficiary of bribery in the Illinois
Legislature, sought to fix by unani-
nous consent an hour for vote.
Senator Lodge objected. He said IL
was of the utmost Importance that the
Senate go into executive session at the
earliest possible moment-presumab
having Ia mind the Japanese treaty.
Senator Stone, of Missouri, said he
desired to make a few remarks on the
Lorimer case himself. Mr. Burrows
suggested that a vote be had at

had no objection to vote; he objected
only to fixing particular hour for it.

CHARGE SECRETARY
WITH EMBEZZLEMENT,

Charged with embezzling $50 from the
Workingmen's Circle No 143, Elias
Freiberg secretary of the organization,
was today paroled on his own recogniz-
ance to appear before the grand jury by
Judge Herr at the Fourth Precinct Po-

Kamenetzki. an officer of the organiza-
ton. who alleges that sums aggregat-
ing $500, which Freiberg had custody of

paid for coal, he used in his own busi-
ness, thinking he would be able to re-
turn 1t in a few days.
Kamenetzh stated that he did not
want to make any trouble for the de-
fendant, as they were satisfied that he
menat to return the money.

COUNTY OWES
HIM sl,lO0, SAYS
UNOER.SHER|FF
Official May Sue to Recover
Back Salary, Curtailed
by Mistake.

In an effort ito secure Sl,10O back
salary, which he claims is owed to him
by the county. Under-aaeriff Cyrus
Benedict. the oldest county employee
in point of service, has employed Frank
e. Bradner as his counsel, and will
bring suit unless his demands are met.
Mr.. Benedict until former Sheriff
Sommer's term of office began, in 1905,
had been receiving $500 year and
special salary of $3.50 n year extra. In
that year an agreement was reached
whereby the sheriff agreed to accept a
salary and turn all his fees over to
the county allowing the latter to pay
all his office expenses.
Through a mistake, Benedict's salary
was placed at $500, instead of $2,750.
Told sheriff About Mistake.
MIR Benedict told Sheriff Sommer of
his mistake and claims that the latter
promised to have the matter adjusted.
Nothing was done. however, and 1t was
not until a year and a half of Sheriff
Harrigan's term had been spent before
Mr. Benedict received his original sal
ary The back salary was not paid.
Repeated petitions to the finance COM
mittee of the Board of Freeholders
have met with no success, the MEM
bers claiming that the county had the
right to fix salaries of their own en-
ployees and that no matter what sal
airy Benedict originally received he was
not entitled to any more than he was
given when the salaries were first fixed.
To Chancery, If Talk Fails.
Mr.. Bradner said today that he in
tended to go before the finance COM
mittee and argue the matter, and If
they refused to grant Mr. Benedict his
back pay he would bring the matter
into the Chancery Court
Mr. Benedict has served thirty-seven
years in the sheriff's office. thirty-four
years of which he has held his present
office. He entered the office under
Sheriff Peckwell serving under his sue
cessors, Sheriffs Harrison, Van Rem
sellaer, Wright. Brown, Hine, Hauss-
ling, Lehlbach, Doremus, Virtue, Nicol.

MENAGER|E MUST
Be REMOVED BY
FIRST OF MARCH
Health Board Acts Promptly on
the Evening STARS
Disclosures.

Board of Health officials declared to-
day that the "menagerie' in the Wan
ner sta bles on the banks of the Morris
canal, at Washington street. will be re-
moved not later than March /. This
statement follows the disclosure in the
Evening STAR last Monday of the con-
banks that were characterized by the
people in the neighborhood as being
unsanitary and an eyesore to the city.
The stables in the Wanner yard and
the stables in the yard across the canal
occupied by F. f, Hobson were investi-
gated by the Board of Health following
the charges of neglect made by Will
lam Lally. Of 1873 Washington street
which appeared in the Evening STAR.
One of the Board of Hea tn officials said
today
"As soon as your paper said that the
conditions on the banks of the canal
were unsanitary ! sent my men down

nected with the sewer / am not ready
to admit that they are unsanitary. 1t
is true that the manure pile was ex-
posed and contrary to the code regu.
lating this, but my men ordered Hob
son to build the manure pit and to
cover 1t with a water tight cover.
"As to the stables not being con-
nected with the sewer We will take
tnat matter up with the Lehigh Valley
Railroad. the owners ofAhe land. Mr..
Hobson is only monthly tenant and
we canot force him to make the con-
nection, even II 1t can be made. The
sewer on Washington street may be too
high to admit of a connection.
To Clear wanner Stables.
The Wanner yard will be cleared of
the, animals that now make up the
'menagerie. Mr.. Wanner said that
he would get rid Of them as fast as
possible, admitting that the neighbors
had a right to complain of the bray
ing of the donkeys and the noise made
by the other animals"
The people on both sides of the canal
were up in arms against the Disgrace
full conditions, and appealed to the
Evening STAR to induce the au-
thorities to take action. AS soon as
the Board of Health was notified of
the complaint made by the residents,
inspectors were sent there to make
proper investigation and to see that
the law is enforced. 1t is believed that
the action taken by the Board of
Health will prevent any further COM
plant being made

MRS. {. |. HALSEY
DIES SUDDENLY
FROM PARALYSIS
For Many Years Prominent in
Newark's Social and Char
liable Circles.

Mrs Ella L. Halsey, for many years
one of Newark's mentors in social and
charitable works, died suddenly in
Plainf1eld yesterday of a stroke Of
paralysis following an illness of
months. Mrs. Halsey was the widow
of the late Silas c. Halsey. who made
a fortune in the leather business in
this city. and who was consul to Co
burg, Germany. Her brother-in-law-
was George A. Halsey. former repre-
sentative in Congress. From the an
cestors of the same family Halsey
street took it's name.
Lived with Daughter.
Almost since the day of the death
of her husband, five years ago, Mrs.
Halsey has been in poor health. For
the greater part of these years she
gave up the Halsey home at 16 Cen
trail avenue and went to live with her
daughter, Mrs Arthur ]. Slade, of 172
East Seventy-second street, New York.
But at intervals when her health per-
mitted she returned to Newark to con-
tinue the extensive charities she began
when she came here first as the wife
OF Mr. Halsey. She had intended
spending this winter in the Newark
home, but her inflrmities became so
severe that she was compelled to go
under the constant care of a physician
at Plainfield.
Though the stroke of paralysis came
suddenly It was not unexpected, and
several members Of her family were at
the bedside when she died. She is sur
vived by Clarence Day Halsey, son,
who is broker in New York; by Mrs.
Slade, her daughter. and by William A.
and 6. Everett Halsey, nephews, of
this city.
The funeral will be held from the
Slade home in New York. Interment
will be in Newark.

FOUND SEATED IN
CHAIR, OEAD, GAS
JET TURNED ON
Edwin T. Marshall Not Known
to Have Any Reason
for Suicide.

Edwin T. Marshall 60 years old, was
found dead today in the little third
floor back room he occupied in board
tng-house at 14s Belleviile avenue
years. When an entrance was finally
effected to this room, the door to which
WAS locekd, he was found seated in
Morris chair before his desk. A gas
jet above his head was open and
gas stove was burning at his side.
Marshall was a mechanic employed
by the Watson-Campbell Machine Com
pany. No motive for suicide could be
advanced by his friends He was not
in financial difficulties and his lone
liness-his wife died year ago-did
not seem to oppress him as much as
it might naturally have been expect
ed to-
Miss Mary Ellis, boarder in the
house, told her landlady, Mrs. McDon-
ough, yesterday afternoon, that she no
ticed the odor of gas in the house, but
no investigation was made Marshall
had not been seen since yesterday
morning. 1t is not regarded as prob
able, however that the flame of the
gas stove could have burned that long
In a gas-f1lled room without resulting III
an explosion.
Mounted Policeman Niblo, who was
passing the house, was called in this
morning by Miss Ellis, when an effort
to open Marshall's door resulted in
failure. He effected an entrance
through an adjoining room. County
Physician Mckenzie has been sum-
moned.
