MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT, The
SALOON AND THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC
1t is not common for one to
c.lim that licensed prostitution
stands OH an equal footing with or
O. nary professions. Not so, when
we come to study our relation with
the saloon and liquor traffic. Many
recognize the rights of the man

Ike same character and equal To

Now we have two interesting

Let us be perfectly honest and fair

MAY REQUIRE REPORTS
FROM MAD DOG VICTIMS.

1t is probable that the Orange Board
Of Health will pass al ordinance at the
meeting tonight requiring that all cases
OF persons or animals being bitten by a
rabid dog must be reported to the
health officer. This ordinance was in
troduced several months when
owners of animals that were bitten by
rabid dogs failed to keep them under
observation. The health officer con-
tends that this is a n to the pub
lie. and the neglect should be stopped,
If the ordinance Is passed and be-
comes a law a / n of SIS will be i'm
posed for violation of the ruling. 1t is
also expected that final arrangements
will be made for the installation work
OF the new laboratory being installed
in the boards Office. Plumbing work
has been completed, but TO date the
board members have not given author
ity to go further. with the result that
little progress has been made.

NEW ENGLAND SOCIETY
HEARS RAILROAD EXPERT.

Besides giving the members OF the
New England Society of Orange an
interesting ak on the general subject
CT raising efficiency standards of rail-
roads, Harrington Emerson, an "eff-
cheney expert" on Saturday night al
luded to a controversy he is nov en-
gagged in with labor leaders on his
point, that the proper way for work
ingman to get higher wages and short
er hours is to increase their output
on q scientific basis of higher efficiency,
He also said that railroads are losing
about $500, 00o, 900 a year, of this amount
400, 900, 900 goes for purchase of sup
plies.
Different railroads, he said further,
show startling discrepancies n differ
ant dspartments. AS an instance, the
b 7. and w. railroad a operate it's
locomotives at a cost per engine per
sufIs Of I'VE cents. Other roads show
costs varying from seven cents to six
ham CENTS. In other departments the
roads whose locomotives cost them so
much TO maintain might be getting
sioux with a much better showing than
the D., l.. INC W.
To get at the causes and apply the
remedies for ineff1ciency, Mr.. Emerson
declared, required experts who had the
time T. study and prepare schedules.
No member or members of the working
force Of a railroad could spare the time
to do it, he declared. Railroads must
come to the organization of a stan OF
suoh experts, he said. who will do moth
ing else.

AGED NAN FOUND DEAD
IN SHANTY IN BLOOMFIELD.
Charles RochOw, 1t Is Thought,
Succumbed to Pneumonia.

The body of Charles Rochow, q Ger
man. 60 years old. was found dead in a
snanty owned by the Nutley Coal Com
pany on the banks of the Morris canal
near East Passaic avenue in the Brook
dale section of Bloomfield late last
night. Death was probably due to
pneumonia caused by exposure.
Rochow had lived In the place off and
on for more than a year. He was a
toolmaker by trade and was recently
in a hospital i n this city. He was a
widower and has a daughter living in
Belmont avenue, his city. and a son
residing in East Passaic avenue,
Bloomfield.
The old man had been ailing for some
time, and he paid the owners of the
shanty IS per month for the privilege
of sleeping there. Peter kilroe. a
Brookdale blacksmith, was passing the
place and heard the man %groaning.
He called to Rocho9, and receiving no
answer notified the younger Rochow.
When the latter reached the shanty his
father was dead.
Deputy County Physician NJ. Herbert
Simmons was notified, and with Police
Chief Collins, of Bloomfield, visited the
scene. They experienced much trouble
in getting there, the spot being iso-
lated, and the auto broke down twice
while they were on the road. 1t was
after midnight when they got back to
Bloomfield proper. Rochow was insured
for enough to cover his burial expenses.

AN INDICTMENT.

A church house in a certain rural
district was sadly in need Of repairs.
The official board had called a meet
ing of the ~parishioners to see what
could be done toward raising the neces-
sary funds. A middle-aged man. known
to be one of the wealthiest and at the
same time one OF the stingiest of the
adherents of that church, arose and
said that he would give s., and sat
down.
Just then a bit Of plastering fell from
the ceiling and hit him squarely upon
the head. Whereupon he jumped up
looked confused. and said: Teri
meant I'll give s50!" then again re-
sumed his seat.
After a brief silence a voice in the
back of the room was heard to say:
20, Lord, hit i'm gain."-Mack's Ma

SAYS BARTENDER HIT
HIM WITH BEER GLASS.

Claiming he was hit on the head
with a beer glass during an alterca-
ton in a saloon at Freeman and South
Jefferson streets. Orange, late Saturday
night, Arthur Jones, of 70 Mitchell
street, West Orange, received a severe
cash, which necessitated several
stitches to close. He had glasses on
at the time, and these were broken, but
did not affect his eyes.
Jones accused the bartender of the
place, Frederick S~chulteheiss, of the
same address, with striking him, and
yesterday went to a justice of h peace
in this city and had q warrant. sworn
out for his arrest. A detective from
headquarters, in company with Police
man Bernard Heslin, arrested him, n
he was later released on bail.
%Schulteheiss called at the Orange po-
lice station before Judge Bray and
made a counter-complaint this after
noon. The fight will be aired before
the grand jury.

SAYS THERE ARE
100000 POOR
IN THIS COUNTRY
OF This Number, Bloomfield Pas
tor Claims 100000 Are
Confirmed Tramps.

The Rev. ]. William Ryder. pastor
of the Watsessing Methodist Episcopal
Church, Bloomfield, took for his sub
ject last night THE Living Dogs of
Society" He spoke in part as fol-
lows:
Life, If only that of a pauper-a dog,
as they were called in the social world
OF 1000 years ago-is far better than
q sta e of death, eve though the dead
be a prince of the world, a lion among
men.
ITO one who is sensitive to the con-
ditions of human life it is impossible
to shut the eyes of u pity or dam
the rivers of our sympathy against the
distress and penury of our cities and
towns. They are not confined to the
tenement-house districts, or the pauper
classes of our cities; they are 1ndigeous
to every sphere of life where the con-
ditions are oppressive.
Many Good Citizens.
And there is a great work still to be
done, a work, the sight of which Is
enough to move the heart of stone.
The authorities tell us there n about
5000, 900 poor people in this country
alone, and of this number about 500, 900
dT6 III lieu LAdhliiPo- ~ 40 ny A0
to say that many of these millions of
poor folk are good citizens, respectful
and ~virtuous, but a very great num-
Der are INDECENT, vagrant and criminal.
Whatever the reason may be-sin, sick
ness or other circumstances-rhey are
down and out as they say. The
question is what shall we do with
them?
1.-The most abject beggar that sits
at the gateway of riches, the most con-
firmed impotent that lies in the porches
of our modern Bethesda, and the most
despfeable ard loathsome yagrant that
scrapes himself with a potsherd in
the ash heap of misery and social iso-
lation, are infinitely better off than all
the lead princes of the world, who died
as they lived without God. If it were
possible the dead lions would gladly
exchange places with the living dogs
of society in a world of preparation,
hope and promise"

ISSUE WITH
SPEAKER KENNY
ON TAX FEE BILL
M. c. Leonard Contends Meas.
ure Was Rushed Hastily
Through Assembly.

Speaker Edward Kenny's statement
In the Evening STAR on Saturday IN
reference to the Backus bill, which, IL
is. said, was introduced for the benz fiji
of the town clerk of Kearny, and
which empowers the clerks of towns.
townships n boroughs to appropriate
the fees for tax searches, were severely
criticised in Kearny yesterday. par
ticularly by members of the hearny
Civic Alliance. Mr.. Leonard takes
issue with Mr.. Kenny on several of his
statements, Mr.. Leonard had the fol-
lowing to say to a STAR reporter:
Much as l dislike to take newspa
per issue with Mr.. Kenny, a shrewd
lawyer whose profession has trained
him to give phrases a twist that suits
mis- purpose, l cannot refrain from
calling attention to a few questions of
fact.
I'm his desire to show that no undue
haste attended the passage of House
Bill Ill through the Assembly he is
quoted in The star as saying that the
bill was introduced January "a, but as
printed and officially distributed 1t
shows that it was introduced January
80 and was referred to the committee
on towns and townships. As 1T was
considered by that committee, reported
to the Assembly, brought up for action
and passed February ID. my statement
that 1t was well steered seems to have
been very conservative.
LAS a matter of curiosity / should
like to know how many OF the bills
introduced January 80 were passed as
soon as February a..
Mr.. Kenny seems to object to hav-
ing his latest opinion called a subter-
fuge. but after carefully reading his
| defense 1 am unable to reject that
view. I cannot conceive as able a law
yer as MI. Kenny putting out such an
opinion on any other grounds. The
plain facts are:
First, the mandatory provisions of
the incorporation act, that all fees shall
be paid to the town treasurer, and, sec
| ond, Mr.. Ross has received these fees
and has not turned them over TO the
treasurer.
This is the plain issue and no en-
perienced legal experiences can becloud
OF bury it. Mr.. Ross and Mr.. Kenny
both know that the only effect of the
amendment of 1899, to which Mr.. Ross
| refers, is to place the maximum salary
| of the town clerk at 81, 900.
THE provisions as to turning all fees
over to the treasurer are repeated
