damages against the Public Service
Railway Company. on behalf Of Mich

COMBINED POLICE
AND FIRE FORCES
AFRAID OF A MAN
Two Departments, Consisting of
Two Men, Said Individual
Could "Lick" Both.

Thomas Watt and Andrew Byram,
comprising the fire department and po-
lice force of the Essex County Hos
pital for the insane at Overlook,
accused Of cowardice by Warden Sted-
man, of the institution, were severely
reprimanded by the members of, the
hospital committee OF the Board OF
Freeholders yesterday.
The two men had refused to attempt
to remove Peter Gallagher, one of the
attendants. who had become locoed,
from one of the buildings when ordered
to do so by h warden. Byram said
he did not have the authority to go
ahead without his chief, who is Watt,
and Watt was frank enough to say
he hesitated because he knew Gal
lagher could do them both up easily.
A few months 6 Watt was dragged
out of his bed by a number of play
full attendants at the asylum and was
dragged about the grounds, sustaining
among other wounds four fractured
ribs. So the prospect of being up
against anything Of the kind SO soon
again naturally caused him 10 say to
himself, "Watt'ell."
Watt is an exempt fireman n ne
was appointed chief of the Overorook
fire department for that reason. Later
he was made a special officer. Byram
is not a special officer, but the commit
tee decided that he should be made one
so that no one could question his
authority In similar cases. While some
of the freeholders were inclined to
treat the case of Watt and Byram as
one OF characterization, Others were
more leniently inclined, and 1t was nm
ally decided to reprimand the two men

GRAND JURY ACTION
EXPECTED AT ONCE.
Sheriff Summons Body to Probe
Atlantic City Frauds.

ATLANTIC CITY, March lit looks
as If the grand jury would investi-
gate the election frauds before the
Assembly committee probe shall have
been completed. Sheriff Johnson, act
ing upon orders from Supreme Court
Justice Trenchard, has summoned the
jurors to meet tomorrow.
Prosecutor Clarence Goldenourg was
as much amazed over the call as
were the political leaders, az he said
two weeks ago that he had consulted
with Judge Trenchard on the need of
calling the grand jury. n that the
judge was of the opinion, as well as
himself, that 1t would be wise to wait
until all the record of fraud was COM
pfeted.
There is no doubt here that the rea-
son of the inquiry will be to go over
the testimony which the Assembly COM
fnittee has recorded, although the OBJ
ject OF the extra session is not stated.
1t is anticipated that Judge Trench
ards charge win be to the point and
that he will not leave any room for
the grand jury to dodge what all be-
lieve will be to them an unpleasant
duty.
More than half q hundred workers
in the Republican party are SHOWN In
