.F|REMEN REPLY
IN PAMPHLET To
FUND CRITICISMS
State Body Issues Statement
Giving Account of Money
in Its Charge.
CONTROL OF SOCIETY
IS MOTIVE ALLEGED.
President of Association
Attacked in Circular Sent
Out by Vamps.

Prompted by numerous criticisms on
its administration of the funds of the
organization, the officers of the New
Jersey State Firemen's Association
have issued a pamphlet containing de-
tailed statements of every dollar in its
control and also censuring those who
made the leveling attacks.
When James j. Manning, of Eliza
beth, retired as president of the New
Jersey Exempt Firemen at the eonven-
ton held in Viewers Colosseum sew
eral months ago he said that he be-
lieved that the State Firemen's Asso-
citation could do something better with
its funds thar providing for a junket
to Atlantic City annually.
The ex-president of the Exempts,
who is now a candidate for a State
senatorial nomination in Union county,
and who is making a strong appeal to
the old volunteer firernen and their
friends to help him. is pilloried in the
pamphlet.
His criticism is called high sound
ing but yet the mere vaporings Of
an interested party who has an I'LL
terror motive to serge"
The statement shows that in the
past ten years amounts disbursed di-
Teotiy for the benefit of the hrenlen
and their dependents total 1882, 600. The,
associations annual income has in
creased from sSs. 1882 in 1900 to $227,-
274.67 in 1910. It's annual disburse-
ment have increased from $61. S02.21 in
1900 to S137, O20.18 in 1910.
The chief source of revenue is the >
per cent. tax levied on the foreign in
companies, which goes to the
that the critics of the administration
have no other object in view than to
get control of the funds.
The statement points out that the
Newark exempts have brought action
in Chancery which is described as the
beginning of an effort to get control
of the funds in this city. 1t Is murther
charged that President McCfaith. of the
Newark Exempts, at a meeting held to
organize a trust company. paromised
that the exempt organization here
would keep $500 on deposit.
THE colossal and speculative mind
of Mr.. MCraith,' the pamphlet con
tinuos, did not comprehend the fact
that a law OF the State absolutely pre-
'hobits the investment of relief asso-
citation funds in operations Of This kind.
Besides, the relief funds in Newark are
now closely invested in securities pay
ing interest at the rate of ) per cent.
and upwards, and of the program an
nounced by Mr.. MvCraith were carried
out 1t would be necessary to sell $50, 00o
of these securities in order to carry
that much money on dendSit in = trust
company at a much lower ratA of in
terest. These incidents are sufficient
to show whether charitable funds could
be protitably and safely entrusted to
the care of men imbued with SUCH
ideas. Fortunately for those interested
in the funds, there does not seem II be
any immediate probability of their
transfer to such hands,"

CONGRESS GETS
READY. TO WIND
UP ITS BUSINESS
Members of Both Branches Pre-
pare for Exodus from
Capital.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-The in
suTgent Republican senator's, their
battle alliance with the Democrats
broken in yesterdays dramatic victory
of the Democrats through the political
maneuvering Of the regular Repub-
Leans, admitted today that no more
general legislation is possible at this
session of Congress, and some of them
even commended it was doubtful whether
1t would be possible to close up the
work already begun. The consensus Of
opinion among senators of all shades
of opinion was that, whatever the
exact date of adjournment, the ses-
sion is practically at an end, and that
all that can be lone is to put things in
order for getting away, no more
original legislative work being possible.
Many members of the House and
Senate are preparing to leave Wash
ington Sunday.
Adjournment by the middle of next
week at the attest and passage of the
cotton bill, with amendments includ-
ing an iron and steel schedule, was the
prediction today of Democratic Leader
Underwood. of the House. .
a joint effort by the two houses was
inaugurated to bring about a final ad-
journment of Congress at II o'clock to-
morrow night. The suggestion was
made to individual senators by Senator
Penrose, and at his instance Senator
Martin, chairman of the Democratic
caucus conferred with Democratic
Leader Underwood. of the House, in
tho hope of bringing the House to &C
cept that date.

TRENTON, Aug. 1s.-That many
walls of the State House are unsound
behind the stone facing is the belief
Of a number of building experts, fol-
lowing the discovery that brick filling
in some places had literally been
dumped in without mortar.
II is stated that there is danger arts
ing from this situation a of the
necessarily weakened condition of the
walls. Some experts. however. declare
that as long as the facing is undis-
turbed there is absolutely no danger.
The original specifications called for
a well-built brick wall, faced with
stone. and packed with terra Gotta
block. Instead of that, 1t is thought
that in many places tina bricks We're
either thrown in indiscriminately, care
lessly placed in endways or laid with
out binding of any kind.
This would, it is claimed. cut the
sustaining strength of the wall down
to an alarmingly low figure. The col
lapse of even q small section might
prove disastrous to walls in u a
condition, it is said.
No investigation is apparently being
made, and little will be said by those
in authority. although, as was exposed
by the Senate committee of 1895. there

building schemes that had Leen going

George e. Poole. State architect, ex-
plailled today the exact condition of
the wall already exposed.
THE exterior walls of the front
building at the Capitol, erected in
1885. he said. ARE of brick. faced
with stone and backed with hollow
terra Gotta block. When the Legisla-
ture appropriated funds for extend
ing this building plans were prepared
which contemplated the use of the
west wall as a partition wall, first re-
moving the stone facing, which was
to be used again. Upon the stone be-
ing removed it was noted that the
brick wall was of very Indifferent
Workmanship, In a number OF places
the brick ppear to have been laid In
the wall without any mortar whatever,
In others no effort was taken TO have
them in courses, they being placed on
end. and in still others 1t would seem
that they have been dumped in.
"As this wall would be exposed for
months, in fact until the addition
were under roof, it seemed good judg-
to protect 1t from the beating
of autumn. and for that reason
the State House Commission as a pre-
measure decided to face 1t
with cement AS this will be poured In
place, all the voids in the present wall
will be filled, and any possible damage
from the elements will be guarded
against"

that have been revealed as existing in
the relations between the bureau OF
chemistry and the department.
Conditions so fan revealed are said
to nave shocked the President and he
is determined to make such changes as
will assure a safeguard for the purity
of food.
DIR. Wiley. who made a request for
the ."juggled pure-food decisions" ex-
planned that they were official printed
regulations and decisions. which had
later been withdrawn and changed
after the interested parties, the food
manufacturers, had protested against
them.
DIR. Wiley said he told Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson all about the pro-
posed employment of DR.. H. H. Rusby,
of Newark.
IT wanted him to know all the fea-
lures of the case before acting on it"
said DIR. Wiley.
After the secretary had approved,
Dr.. Wiley told of figuring out that
$4,000 was too much for DR.. Rusby and
of having the salary reduced to 81 800.
Again he denied that anything was
said about DR.. Rusby working only
