3 Municipalities
May Join Pact
fOrTrunk Sewer

Plans are being made to again open
to have that municipality enter the
trunk sewer plan, following a confer
ice yesterday among the authorities
of Bloomfield, Glen Ridge and mem
bers of the Passaic Valley Sewerage
Commission. The representatives of
Bloomfield and Glen Ridge asked and
received many particulars which lead
to the general belief that the three
municipalities may yet enter into
the pact, which affects all towns in the
Passsic valley.
A sewage discharge of 14,00O,000
gallons into the big trunk sewer has
been provided for the two towns pro-
vided they come into the scheme, but
II would only be at a great expense
at which they could procure this outlet.
Bloomfield and Glen Ridge are lessees
of 10000 gallons capacity of the
sewer emptying into the Passaic river
owned by Orange. In an effort to IA
cilitate the entering of the sewer pact
for other towns, Orange will probably
be asked to reconsider its alleged COM
initial to the Imhoff system. The lat
ter system is also said to be favored
by Montclair and East Orange.
Ii was apparent at the meeting that
the commissioners would aid Bloom
field and Glen Ridge as far as is pos
sible In their efforts to secure an outlet
into the trunk lever. Former Judge
Francis Child, president of the COM
mission, advised the conference with
the Orange authorities before definite
action was taken by the towns repre-
scented at the meeting.

NO PEACE DINNER
FOR COL. TEDDY
TAFT WILL ATTEND
Roosevelt ScOrns Official lnvi-
tation That Followed the
Unofficial Notice.
MAKES REPLY IN LETTER
TO COMMITTEE IN CHARGE
Seven : Page Epistle That
Sc0rches May Be Made
Public Today.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt will not be at the Cltl-
sens' Peace dinner to be given at the
waldorf-Astorla next Saturday night.
He said so himself yesterday in a
scorching seven-page letter that he
sent to the committee in charge.
The letter has not yet been made
public, but it Is understood that one
of 2ooseyelt's reasons for not attend
ing the dinner is that President TAFT
is to b, the guest of honor. Another
reason is tat an unofficial invitation
was first SEM to Teddy" followed by
an official enc later. Just why the
official was not sent first is some
thing that all the men in charge of
the banquet are now trying to explain,
Up to date not one has succeeded
and there is q merry strife on in the
dinner committee hat has charge Of
the affair.
At yesterdays meeting John Temple
Graves was selected to act as toast
master at the dinner. Mr.. Graves read
a letter from President Taft in which
the President said he would attend the
dinner, that his speech would not take
up more than half an hour and thct he
would remain throughout the dinner,
providing it did not last longer tha !.
three hours and a half.
Asked to explain about the reports OF
trouble in the dinner committee, Mr..
Graves said hat all that would be said
about it would be contained in a state
ment to be issued by the executive
COMMITTEES. This statement consisted
of a program of the dinner and u copy
of the Presidents letter. Concerning
Col. R~oosevelt's part in the affair, Mr..
Graves said:
IAN invitation was sent to Colonel
Roosevelt by some one connected with
the committee, and he did so on his
own authority. He was not authorized
to send the invitation; in fact, no one
had at that time been invited. Colonel
Roosevelt replied that he was not Just
sure of what the subject or the senti-
ment of the dinner was to be, but
that his views were well known con-
corning the peace treaties.
$50 when the invitations were sent
out it was thought best not to send
Colonel Roosevelt one, because, in
view of his opinions on the peace mat
ter, which are directly opposite to what
will be the sentiment at the dinner, 1t
could only have proved embarrassing
to all concerned"

SALARY QUESTION
IS LEFT IN AIR
FreehOIders Decide to Allow
New Board TO Wresfle
With Proposition.

When the new small Board of Free
holders organize mex Monday they
will take up several problems which
have been left to them by the present
board. The finance committee held Il
meeting yesterday afternoon IN an eff
fort to dispose of these matters. but
no decisions were made.
The fixing of salaries for James +.
Hyland, deputy sheriff, and Jeremiah
S. Spillane, private secretary to
Sheriff job r. Monahan, is one Of
the difficulties. In view of the suits
for reinstatement being made by
former Under Sheriff Charles Reilly
and Clerk James E.. Delaney, who were
suspended by the sheriff, the freehold
ers decided to avoid a possible embar-
RAISING situation and laid the matter
over for the new board. Sheriff Mona
han has recommended the salary o.
Hyland be fixed at 1900 and Spillane'y
81, 500 per year.
As there are two claimants for the
salary due the county Jail physician the
committee also refused to take action
In his matter. DR.. Oswald H. Roth
repeatedly asked for the none
claiming he was appointed by former
Sheriff Harrigan and served the House
of Detention as we'll. DR.. Joseph s.
sutphen was appointed to the position
by the Board of Freeholders, and it is
understood that he made a few visits
to the Jail but was not allowed to per-
form any services. Recent conferences
between Drs. Roth and Sutphen and
County Counsel Harrison have failed
to bring about an agreement. The sal
airy of the Jail physician Is $500 a year.
The claim of former County Engineer
George r. Drum for $4,000, which he
says is due him for services, was also
referred to the new board.
