OPPOSING CITIES
STILL SILENT ON
BIG SEWER PLAN
Effect of Macarthur Firms SI2,s
235,OOO Estimate Upon Mu-
inequalities Is Doubtful.

Just what effect the Macarthur Bros.
estimate on the construction of the
Passafc valley trunk sewer bill will
nave on the Ave communities that
have not yet agreed to join the munich
palities that favor the trunk sewer, is
today still co~njectural. Because no
official report of the bid has been re-
ceived by the members Of the COM
mission, the outstanding committees
have had not had an opportunity of ex-
pressing their opinion as to its force
in making them change their minds
concerning the project.
The Macarthur bid assures the COM
mission that the trunk sewer can be
built for s12, 235. 900. This is $4,000 less
than the estimate Of the commission
engineers. Following the announce
ment Of the bid Mayor Mcbride, of
Paterson, said that he believed his city
would be in favor of Withdrawing the
amendment to the contract signed by
them, which provided that the bid for
the whole work be obtained before any
portion of II is given out.
The municipalities that sem to have
taken a hostile attitude toward the
project are Crane, East Orange, Mont
clair, Bloomfield and Glen Ridge. Fif-
teen other municipalities have either
directly or indirectly expressed their
willingness to share the cost OF the
whole work.
The objecting cities a that they
ought to be assessed for the cost of
construction on the basis Of use rather
than ratables. Their claim Is that the
municipalities in question will not use
h sewer as much as others, but will
have to pay as much for the construc-
ton. Just what they will say when a
copy of the Macarthur report is sub
mitted Is not known.
According to a State law the pollu-
ton Of the Passaic will have to be dis
continued before December IL, 1912. But
because 1t will be impossible to com
plete the sewer by hat time there
Is a bill in the Legislature now de-
ferring the matter until December 81,
1914.
Even II Orange and the other objec-
tors do not join the other municipali-
ties they will have to adopt some plan
of their own for a trunk sewer, and Il
is believed by those familiar with the
proposition that before long the out
i standin municipalities will realize the
advantage of agreeing with the ma
1ority plan.

HE
ENDS YEARS OF
TROUBLE AND WOE
Arthur Brett, IS. Shoots Self
on Grave of His First
Wife.

a of dependency over the loss Of
n wife, domestic strife with another
and months of dissipation finally eul-
minated yesterday In the suicide of
Arthur Brett, So years old, of Bowery
and Freeman streets, at the grave OF
MS first wife, whom he had been
mourning for ten years.
Unable to stand the constant bicker-
ings with his wife, he, last June sep
arated from her. after which he took to
drinking heavily. Buying a revolver
with a part of his wages he yesterday
went to h grave Of his first wife which
he had been accustomed to visit regu-
larly, and shot himself through the
head.
A driver, returning from a funeral
through Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, saw
what he thought was a drunken man
at a distance of about fifty yards. As
sistant Superintendent Whalen, Of the
cemetery. went to the place indicated
and found the body of Brett across the
grave of his first wife. Elizabeth Loef-
fer Bretz, who died In the spring of
1902. His head rested upon the grave
marked Mildred" who is said to have
been q daughter, who died shortly
after the death of the first Mrs. Bretz.
Upon the grave were two fresh floral
wreaths marked Our Mamma" which,
it is thought, Brett brought to the
grave, laid them there, after which he
carried out the determination he had
had for months.
The body was taken to Kunz's
morgue, East Orange, where DR.. NJ.

seen today, had nothing but good to
say of the dead man. She described
him as a faithful father and loyal hus-
band. Even after his second marriage
he continued visiting her and they were
always on very good terms.
About seven years age Bretz married
a second time, shortly after which he
moved to Baltimore. where lie obtained
a position In a brewery. he being a
skilled brewery worker. From all ac-
counts given they lived happily until
two years ago, when he took to drink
ing heavily. quarrels often being heard
In the house by neighbors. This final
ly eliminated, last June, in their sep
aration. when Bretz went to live with
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Loeffier, the
parents of his first wife.
Mr.. Loeffier died about six months
ago. There being a strong bond friend
ship between the two men, Bretz took
to drinking still harder, and last Tues
day was the last time hat Bretz was
seen in his usual haunts, and 1T is
thought that he went on a spree which
resulted finally in his death.

The Story of This Store
Can Never Be Told

We have tried in times past to tell you of
the things of interest in this establishment.
We have tried to keep you posted on the
new things that were coming in-tried to tell
you of their goodness and beauty and use
fulness-tried to tell you of the service they
would give you.
We have tried to post you on the chang
ing fashions and how we aided you with ma
terials to follow them as faithfully as you
wished. We are still trying to tell you of all
these things, but the story is never ended
the story is still being told because there is
constantly some new subject, something
changing, something new appearing, some
event TO add new interest to the store-and
so We are never able TO finish the story of
the store.
There is only one way to know this
establishment-only one way TO fully enjoy

your friends, especially visitors, to the city,
that they may enjoy with you the facilities
We offer for pleasurable, profitable trading.

and Five More Are Now
Necessary.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-Passage

United States constitution by the Ar
kansas house of representatives was
hailed with qualification by the friends
of the proposition here. The resou-
ton had already passed the Arkansas
senate, and 1t now awaits the sigma
ture of Governor Donaghy.
This victory is regarded as of spec
ial Importance by Senator Brown. (re
publican Neb.) author Of the income
tax resolution, because that state was
one of the hardest battle grounds.
Opponents of the tax were confident
that the legislature woul~ not approve
the amendment. Thirty states have
now endorsed the amendment and fa-
vorable action by Ave more will carry

Woman Was Prominent In Charity
and Church Work While Man Was
Considered as a "Good
Fellow"
BOTH OF THEM DIED !
Several Theories Advanced as to How
the Two Came to Their Deaths
In the Blazing
Building.

PARKERsBURG, w. va, April "a
The tragedy which occurred at the
apartments of w. E. Caskey and fam
lily, at an early hour Saturday morn
ing when w. ID. Curry, prominent
business man and manufacturer Of
this city was burned SO that he died
later at st, Joseph's hospital, and
Mrs. Caskey was burned SO that her
death occurred that evening. Is still
yelled In mystery.
1t Is currently stated that an ex-
plosion was heard By several persons
in the neighborhood, but flremen who
extinguished the blaze state that
there was no evidence of an explos.
ion.
How the fire started will mover be
exactly known, unless young Caskey,
who, 1t is said knows more than he
is willing to tell, speaks. Thus far
young Caskey maintains an attitude
Of Indifference. All the stories of
those who came to the aid of the un-
fortunate couple are contradictory.
In lucid intervals at the hospital, Mrs.
Caskey anxiously asked. Who was
the man that was burned? Who was
the man that was burned?" Mrs.
Caskey has always been prominent in
church and charity work and was very
popular. Curry was known as a
good fellow" Rumors are afioat
concerning the mystery which en-
vslopes the finding Of the shrieking
groaning man and woman in the finely
furnished apartments above the res
taurant.
The police and firemen who were
first called to the scene refuse to
discuss the condition in which Cur
ry's body was found, other than to
say his clothes were probably burn
ed off,"
One story which Is given much
credence, is that Mrs. Caskey went to
the kitchen to get a glass of wine and
by mistake, got hold of a jug of gaso-
line. While pouring out the gasoline
the explosion Is said to have occurred.
Mrs Caskey's clothing Immediately
caught fire. At this stage Curry Is
said to have attempted rescue and
in so doing was himself burned to
death. A peculiar feature Of the case
is that Curry had scalp wound in
front of his head. What caused this
has not been developed No tragedy
that has occurred here for years has
stirred the city so strongly. w. q.
Caskey, husband Of the woman, who
was on business trip, returned
home today He is almost prostrateu.
