CEN. CAMPBELL'S
SUCCESSOR To Be
CHOSEN MARCH 10
Brigade Will Probably Select
Colonel Hine as Its
Commander.

A successor to Brigadier-General I'd
ward A. Campbell, of the First Bri-
gade, N. G. n. j., who recently resigned,
will be chosen at a brigade election to
be held at the Union League Club, the
headquarters of the Fourth Regiment.
in Jersey City, Wednesday, March Is.
The election will undoubtedly be coinci-
dent with a dinner. as $50 o'clock is the
time set for the meeting In the order
issued by Major-GeneraI Wanser and
received by the fifteen officers who
have a vote today. The five highest
officers in the three regiments have the
privilege of the ballot in such an cleo
ton.
1t is said that Colonel Edwin w. Hine,
of the Fifth Regiment, will undoubtedly
succeed Brigadjer Campbell as com
mander Of the First Brigade. As he Is
senior colonel of the brigade no oppo-
sitlon to his election is expected. Ma
jor Isaac Shoenthal, of Orange, is
picked as the logical successor OF Colo
mel Van Walraven, of Paterson, who
will succeed Colonel Hine as the com
mander of the regiment. Major Goesse
at present commander of the Second
Battalion, will be senior major of the
regiment, after Major Shoenthai's pro
motion, and Captain Barker, of Pas
sale, will probably be made junior
major. Colonel Hine wa placer in
temporary command OF the First Bri-
gade today.

BOUND STORM
DROWNED OFF HATTERAS.
Pleasant Spring-like Weather
Result of Tragedy.

Weather prophets, like mariners, sail
with the pleasant winds when they
can. And SO Prof. Wiener was as glad
and laughing as a little child today
when HI was able to predict that the
storm which was carded for Newark
last night had already fallen into the
ocean off Hatteras and had drowned
itself, and hat we may now expect
three days more of genuine spring.
The professor said you can't beat the
nice weather that's going to tnfest
Newark up to Sunday. He say 1t will
be so An that the mean temperature
will be nearly up to 40, with 80 by
noontime, and not less than 81 by
night. and he says the sun will stay
out perfectly refulgent all the three
livelong days. He says he couldn't
predict any better weather for this
time of year If he had the making of
1t himself-and he says he'd like to see
every day a regular May l.. II it
wasn't necessary to have some rain
now and then for the sake of the crops
Prof. Wiener said that since the
Washington weather bureau agrees
with him about this for the first time
in some months. the weather is almost
certain to come to pass as stated.

House and the Republican Senate over
the reapportionment of the Assembly
men became evident yesterday when
Senator Edge, of Atlantic. introduced a

Bergen and taking one away from
Cumberland, Burlington and Monmouth.
The reapportionment bill introduced in
the House by A~ssemblyman James
provided that Essex, Hudson and Ber-
gen should get an extra assemblyman
each. There is an agreement concern
ing the counties that should lose a rep
resentative.
AS Atlantic is generally Republican
and Hudson generally Democratic there
will be lively j~ockeying between the
two chambers over the bills.

FRAUD IS ALLEGED
IN BANKRUPTCY CASE,
Counsel for Creditors to Ex-
anime Max ~JatkOWSky.

Preparation for the examination OF
Max J~atkowsky, bankrupt, is now
being made by David Booker, counsel
for the creditors, who include several
well-known concerns In Broad ano
Market streets, and whose representa-
tives claim the bankrupt is fraudulent
ly obscuring his assets.
Max Jatkowsky did an instalment-
plan dry-goods business at IL Hamp-
den street. An involuntary petition in
bankruptcy was filed against him by
his prominent creditors, whose aggre-
gate claims amount to 1926. When the
creditors asked that a receiver be APP
pointed they set forth among other
things the following reasons
That the books in Jatknowsky's pos
session held records of accounts which
they were afraid the bankrupt might
destroy, because he had turned over
Us business to his son. Abe Jatkowsky,
and thereafter kept no record of how
his son disposed of the money of the
concern. The father, it is said, did not
meet any of the bills incurred. Abe
Jatkowsky deposited money In the Es-
sex County National Bank and later
placed money with the First National
Bank, under the name Of Abraham ia
CODY. Abe also tried to open an &C
count with the Newark Trust Company
under the name of Frank Chaplin, ga
clared the creditors attorney, in his
petition for a receiver. George w. liar
rison, of 142 Market street, was ap-
pointed receiver and David Booker was
selected attorney for Mr.. Harrison.
The creditors obtained a restraining
order tying up the money Abe Jatkow-
sky is alleged to have in the W banks
under assumed names. and a prelimi-
nary examination under section 21a OF
the bankruptcy act vas conducted by
Mr.. Booker Max Jatkowsky. o the
stand on January IL, testified that his
son, Abe Jatkowsky. had been confined
to an insane asylum for four years
and that shortly after the sons re-
lease he was put In charge of the bust
ness.
A granddaughter. Miss Sadie Jatkow-
sky, also of the Hampton street ad
dress, deposited $1,000 in the Ameri-
can Commercial Bank, testified Max
and when he learned of it he ordered
her to withdraw 1t. He could not ex
plain how the girl had obtained that
sum.

filed in the Supreme Court afilrms the
verdict obtained by Lena Marzulli in
the Essex County Circuit Cour against
the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany for the recovery of the amount of

HUDSON COUNTY MAN
WINS CASE ON APPEAL,

TRENTON, March 9.-The Supreme
Court has affirmed the judgment of the
Hudson County Circuit Court in the
suit brought by Albert Hartman, l "a
which he recovered a verdict against
the McClintock & Marshall Construc-
ton Company for injuries sustained by
the breaking of a boom on a derrick
owned by the company. Hartman
claimed that the break was caused by
the shackle being too light. The com
pany argued that this was not a ques-
ton to be submitted to a jury and sued
an appeal.
The Supreme Court today, in deciding
the matter, held that IL was a proper
question to be submitted to the jury
and affirmed the direction of the trial
judge in allowing the question to go TO

HYPNOT|ST AND
PUG|L|ST JAILED
AS WATCH THIEVES
With Third "Pal" They Confess
Looting Store a Dwarf Rob-
ber' Figured In.

Detective ~Sergeants Meehan, Dono-
rests last night and this morning that
clear up the theft of s724 worth of
watches from the auction store of
Harry Simons at 296 Market street,
which was entered between the hours
of 8 and Z Z o'clock on the night of Janu-
airy 20. when a dress suit case full OF
gold watches were stolen.
The men under arrest are Edward,
better known as kid" Burns, a prize
fighter, who had been employed by
Simons as a clerk; Frank Coletto, of
162 Adams street, and Harry Harvey,
who describes himself as an agent, but
is well known In local circles as a hyp-
notist. AT the time of the theft Burns
was suspected, as he disappeared from
the city following the robbery. Recent
ly Detectives Ryan and Meehan learned
that he was visiting Newark, and after
looking for him for several days ar
rested him on Commerce street last
night.
It was also known to the detectives
that Coletto, who Is also a former en-
ployee of Simons's, had been seen in
front of the store tine night the robbery
took place and that Harvey had been
q companion of the two. 1t was found
hat a number of watches had beer
sold and pawned in New York by men
answering the description of the three
under arrest, and as soon as Burns was
locked up a quick roundup was made
of the other two members of the gang.
Coletto was found at his Tome early
this morning by Ryan and Farrell,
! while Meehan, Donovan and Ryan
picked up Harvey as he was leaving
his boarding house at 1S1 Plane street
about II o'clock.
The Three Confess Theft.
The three men have confessed to
stealing the watches and disposing OF
them in Manhattan. According to the
story told to the police. Coletto had
planned to break into Simons's safe at
night. Burns heard of this and figured
out that a better plan would be to
break into the store during the supper
hour, when 1t Is closed, but the trays
of watches are not locked in the big
safe.
On the night of the robbery Coletto
stood guard in front of the store. and
to disarm suspicion stopped a girl &C
quaintance and engaged her in CONVEX
sation. Burns entered the store by
forcing the alley door, while Harvey Is
| alleged to have stood in the areaway
leading to the alley and packed the
| watches in a suitcase as they were
handed to him by Burns.
The trio at once went to New York
and proceeded to get rid of the watches
1t is said that the loot, which consisted
of about eighty watches, were scat
tered in pawnships in all parts of Man
haitian, Brooklyn and Jersey City.
Davies. a dwarf. who had been
barker for the same auction store
was recently jailed on a charge of try
ing to enter the place burglariously,
He failed because he wasn't tall
enough to reach the keyhole, and was
caught while fumbling with it.

JAMES AMAZED
At GOV. WILSON'S
CHANGE OF MIND
Cold Storage Bill Demanded in
Inaugural Now "TheOreti-
calIy Wrong"
[From a stan Correspondent

TRENTON. March Ex-Governor VII
son has backstepped on his Inaugural
address ideas of what should be done
with the cold storage proposition.
In his inaugural the Governor lam
| basted the Senate for killing tht
James cold storage bill of last year, and
left the impression that Senator Fielder
was responsible for its demise. Feeling
confident that the, Governor was with
him, the versatile Mr.. James lost nc
time in introducing his bill and it came
to be known as Assembly bill No. s.
| introduced on January II. A mere ref
erence on the part of Mr.. James to the
Governors inaugural appreciation OF
the cold storage bill put it through the
House of Assembly without objection.
Hits snag I'm senate.
Mr.. James thought a similar fate
awaited his pet measure in the Senate.
He was somewhat mazed to learn
when the Senate judiciary committee
had a hearing on the bill yesterday that
the Governor considered his bill
theoretically wrong and one he could
not stand for. The committee closed
the hearing n made. no decision
owing to the absence ex-senator FIRE.

ity and is now absent in the South on
a visit that Will not end prior to next
week.
T. A. Adams, of Montclair; w. Holt
Apgar, of Trenton: Frank A Horne, OF
Englewood, and William Mayo Atkin-
son, of Elizabeth, were the principal
speakers for and against h bill,
which will not be reported in its pres
ent shape. Mr.. Horne, among other
things, said:
Not Harmed by Cold Storage.
Gold storage goods are wholesome
and absolutely fit for human food, with
the exception of extremely perishable
fruit and vegetables, for a period OF
twelve months or over, according to
the article, provided they are in good
condition when placed in storage. 1t
is not profitable or customary to store
anything but goods in sound condition.
Goods may be carried in cold storage
for a longer time than is considered
profitable without becoming harmful
or deleterious as human food. Expert
ments Of the United States Department
of Agriculture and Investigations by
the State Board of Health of New Jer-
sey confirm the above statements.
The chief emphasis of those who ad-
voct.te restrictive regulation as to cold
storage has been placed on the alleged
effect on prices of commodities stored.
This belief is unfounded In fact and
statements to this effect are based upon
error and a m~isconception of the real
truth. The statement that there is a
trust Dr. other control OF
the goods stored In public warehouses
is untrue

they would rather resign than
serve upon the committee as matters
now stand. Their designations were
not passed Upon, n a motion was
introduced by Mr.. Gottlieb requesting
all members to resign from the COM
.mittee and thereby save embarrass-
ment to the director today.
Two Refuse to Resign.
Freeholders Holcomb and Evans de-
clared that they could not be driven
into r~esigning by unsupported talk
about graft, and would not be bound
by the motion. Freebooter Evans in
troduced a motion that all the Repub-
lican committee members vote against
the resolution to be submitted by the
Democrats, which would discharge the
present committee, but to Director
Ougheltree's surprise this motion was
not even seconded.
Freebooter Foley, who, 1t is said.
will introduce the Democratic resolution
today, is credited with having grounds
sufficient to base his request upon.
Among these are alleged transactions
covering the pocketing of proceeds for
the sale of timber from the Plank road,
awarding OF certain bridge contracts
and the conduct of certain employees
under the joint committee. His reso-
luton will receive the solid Democra
tic support, it is said.
Charges of graft in which Superin-
tendent Dugan, of the Plank road,
was mentioned, were frequent, n al
stage personalities were freely
banded about.

MAY CONTINUE
THEIR FIGHT At
MEETING TODAY
Bridge Committee of Freeholders
Have Bitter QUARREL Graft
Charges Made

A clash among Republican freeholders
In Essex county's representation on the
Joint bridge committee Of Essex and
Hudson occurred at last nights con
ference of the majority OF the Essex
county board, and bids fair to be car
ried to the floor when the full board
meets today. The meeting ended last
night with the designations OF two
members from the committee awaiting
acceptance by the chairman, a warm
criticism of two other members who
are charged with deserving their Essox
colleagues and failure to pass a motion
to vote against a resolution scheduled
for introduction by the Democrats to-
day that the entire comWtttee be dis
charged.
Freeholders Holcomb and Odell are
the members charged with going oveI
to the Hudson county contingent. Free
holder Holcomb is chairman of the
Joint committee, the precedent having
been broken in his election as such.
Heretofore the committee had elected
as its chairman alternatively the chair
man of the Essex n the Hudson con-
tingent. Had this been followed Free
holder Malta, the Essex committee
chairman, would head the committee.
Odell's' cooperation with the Hudson
men made Holcomb's election possible.
II has been whispered about that the
Hudson county members were not
pleased with Matthias announced inten-
ton of abolishing all special privi-
leges and secret agreements and deals,
and regarded him as a trifle too radical
to. head the committee. Malta has
been on the committee for the past two
years, and has an intimate knowledge
of the weak spots and the methods
which are said to have prevailed re-
garding certain practises in the com
mittee. 1t would be hard to put through
a measure that was at all open to sus-
picion with him at the head of the
committee, the Hudson county men,
bers believe.
Nay Spring Sensation.
Incidentally there is talk of a SEN
sation hat may be sprung by Mr..
Malta in connection with certain deals
now supposed to be closed. Mr.. Malta
has been conducting a personal inves-
LEGATION of some phases of the com
nittee's past history which would make
interesting reading, it is said. He re-
fused to discuss this, however, today.
The freeholders who offered Their
designations last night are Messrs
Gottlieb and Driver. They declared
