ousted by the Board of F'reeholders last
Monday were sworn in at the Court
House at noon today They are Fer

1t was expected that the new men
would at once proceed to make a de-
mand for their positions, but after a
conference with county counsel it was
decided to postpone this action until
tomorrow. In the meantime a plan of
action as to procedure will be mapped
out, as it is known that Steadman and
Martin have retained Alonzo Church
as counsel, and propose making a
fight for their positions under the

MACFARLAND
TRIAL MAY
BE DELAYED
Special Panel May Be lnvali-
dated by Dismissal of
Three Men.

Through the dismissal of a jury as
incompetent by Judge Martin today the
special panel provided for the Allison
M MacFarland murder trial, which has
been set for next Monday before Chief
Justice Gummere. is entirely invali-
dated, according to Judge Martin.
This not only necessitates the draw
ing of a new special panel but gives a
peculiar twist to the proceedings In
the cyanide poison case. since two
days notice has to be given to counsel
of the men selected for special jury
service.
Prosecutor Mott said he did not agree
with Judge Martin that the dismissal
of the three men invafIdated the entire
special panel and after spending ar
hour in consultation of law books went
into conference with Judge Martin al
2 o'clock.
Prosecutor Mott takes the view that
as the special panel was complete al
the time it was drawn the dismissa
by the court of three men does moi
change the status OF the remaining
forty-five names on the panel.

MacFarland case has been unusual
throughout.
Lawrence Cullen, John Brown and
Frederick Ramthaler were on trial be-
fore Judge Martin for assault and bat
terry Two negro girls were the CON-
plainants. Late yesterday afternoon
the jury brought in a verdict of not
guilty. Today Judge Martin called the
jury before him and said:
THAT this jury could believe these
men We're not guilty of any crime is
inconceivable. 1t is, therefore, not fit
to serve
The men dismissed after two days of

Reward for Clue to
Men in Death Auto

who left Schultz at the institution half
an hour after he had been last seen at
Springfield avenue and Forty third
street, rode in a gray automobile.
At Springfield avenue and Baker roao
We're found fragments of shattered
automobile lamp and chips of gray en-
amel paint, such as that used on auto
mobile bodies. This corresponds with
/ the theory that the automobile which
struck Schultz was gray. and that it Is
the same one in which he was carried
to the hospital
The police of both Orange and South
orange say that in spite of their most
strenuous efforts they have been un-
able TO make headway in the investi-
cation.
Members of the Schultz family hope
that the $100 reward will stimulate the
memory of some chauffeur or garage
attendant who recalls a gray touring
car, with one or more of its lamps
broken, its paint Clipped and possibly
a splatter of blood on 1t.

CHARTER NEEDS

City Wants.
NEWARK TRADE BOARD
MEMBERS AT SESSION
Executives Advised Not to Ex=
pect Too Much from
RevisiOns.

HOBOKEN, Jan. 3.-Mayors of many
New Jersey municipalities and Board
of Trade members met today to dis
cuss city charters and listen to an ad-
dress by Governor Wilson. Besides the
governor the several mayors today eX-
planned their ideas of efficient charters
A letter was read from Mayor
Haussling, of Newark, in which he de-
clined the invitation to attend, saying
that the press of municipal business in
Newark was so great that he was un-
able to spare the time.
City Counsel James r. Nugent sent
his regrets at his inability to attend
the meeting. He said in part: II re-
gret that l am unable to attend the
charter conference. The city of New
ark has appointed commission
specially for that purpose. 1t is the
intention of the authorities to draw up
adequate laws to flt our city's needs
Governor Wilson spoke on the imme-
date need of business efficiency In city
government.
Mayor Cooke, of Hoboken, spoke of
his own city's needs. He said that Ho-
boasen was laboring under a, charter
that was fifty years old and was in
adequate to the needs of the city. He
advocated a single headed commission
appointed by the mayor.
Mayor Mcbride, of Paterson, spoke
of the plan under which his city was
governed. He told his hearers that the
present system had enhanced the yalue
of the city bonds, taken the important
municipal functions out of politics and
extended the working efficiency of the
administration without extra cost. He
advocated the election of specialists in
city government.
Mayor Gregory warned the assembly
against adopting any such charter as
W. in operation in East Orange. He
sa,d +fjHf ee heads
of departments, and an even number
of aldermen, which was bad from
every point. He believed that the
mayor should have in some cases ap-
pointive power without the sanction of
other officials. He urged for cities
