WHY SHERIFF OBJECTS TO
COMPETITIVE JAIL FOOD
FreehoIder Retorts With Jest
on ESCAPES.

In a letter to the Board of r
holders Sheriff John F. Monahan yes
terday declined to join in the plan TO
purchase supplies for the county by
the competitive system.
Two weeks ago a request was sent
to the sheriff to provide a list of sup
plies for the county Jail during the
coming six months in order that bids
might be advertised at the same time
as for supplies for other county in
stitutions. The Freeholders had in
mind to take advantage of an oppor-
tunity to save money by buying in
larger quantities.
Sheriff Monahan said in his letter
that he was under grave RESPONSE
bility of caring for the prisoners, not
only as against escape, but in mat
ters safeguarding their health"
After a motion that the letter be re-
ferred TO the committee on purchases
and supplies Freebooter Malta said;
The sheriff mentions the peculiar
responsibility he is under, not only
as to safeguarding the prisoners
health, but in preventing their escape.
II their health is as well cared for as
their prevention from escape then the
Responsibility is not well placed"
The sheriff asked for more guards

Y. ". c. A. STRIKE.
LEADS To NEW ONE
Withdraw From
Factory Being Erected by
Same Contractors.

Strained relations between the
union iornworkers and lowering &
| Garrigues, who sub-contracted for tile
iron work on the new Y. w. c. A.
building on Washington street, has
caused the union ~erectors to with
draw from work on the addition TO
the factory of the Martin Dennis
Company on Sylvan avenue, which is
being put up by the same c%ontrac-
tors.
At the Y. w. C. A. building to-
day the noise of the rivet was not
heard, although the sub-contractors
said they had a force of twenty-five
men at work. 1t was claimed that
the COMPRISING gun" for driving
rivets was out of order.
A representative of the National
Erectors' Association. 80 East Goth
street, New York, which is supplying
the iron laborers. stated that tomor-
row there would be a full force at
work.
These men are in no sense of the
word rike-breakers,' said he.
They are union men. being paid reg
ular union wages and are employed
the union hoursr.'
The representatives of the IRON
workers union, however, asserted
that the men were not experienced
ironworkers and that they were not
union men.
The work on the building today is
practically at a ~standstill. It was
said by the sub-contractors that they
would continue the ironwork with the
labor imported by the National Erec-
tors Association and that the mason
work could be left until the iron
structure was completed.
we will drive 100 rivets today
said the foremen of the s~ub-contrac-
torss "They won't drive over three
rivets,' was the retort of a dele
gate when informed of the state
ment of the foreman.
The delegates were firm in their
belief today that there were not
enough non-union men ~obtainable to
complete the mason work on the
building within the next ten years.
The contractors are anxious to get
a ROOT on the building before bad
weather sets in, so that they may
not be hampered in pushing the work
toward completion next spring.

FREEHOLOERs KILL
SPEEDWAY PLAN
Board Grants Irvington Per-
mission to Cut Two
Streets Through.

The Board of Freeholders at : a
meeting has authorized the town
of Irvington to cut two streets across
the speedway. The action is re-
garded today as practically abolish
ing the driving course over which
there has been such heated contro-
versy for the past three years.
The intention of the freeholders
after Irvington has finished the ex-
tension of its streets is to offer the
speedway property to the Essex
County Park Commission for park
purposes. II the commission refuses
to accept the property the speedway
may be cut into building lots or con-
verted into a county road.
Considerable discussion took place
before the matter was put to a vote.
Seymour P. Gilbert, chairman of the
roads, assessments and speedway
committee, and Amos p. Harrison,
both of whom opposed the resolu-
ton, pleaded for more time for con-
s%ideration. The vote was seven in
favor and two opposing.
Freebooter William s.. Rosenstrauch
announced at the very outset that
he was in favor of granting Irving
tons application for streets, as the
adjustment of the speedway seemed
to be the general sentiment expressed
at the recent public hearing even by
those who opposed giving Irvington
street privileges.
Fayors Motion Emphatically.
MI. Rosenstrauch wanted the as
surance, however, that the property
would be given to the park commits
sion. Freebooter Ferdinand Roem-
mele was emphatic in declaring that
he was in favor of the motion.
Mr.. Harrison's argument for delay
was answered by Director Evans,
who stated that the usefulness of the
speedway was a thing of the past.
that he favored doing away with u
and turning the property owe to the
park commission provided they
would accept.
Mr.. Harrison took the stand that
If the board a going to abolish
the speedway by the cutting through
of streets the park commission
should first be asked whether it
would accept the property in that
condition, or the matter of opening
streets might be left to the commits
sion. In response to this Mr.. Evans
stated that the board alone had au-
thority to permit crossing the speed
way with streets.

TO most Southerners the game

W. must SOulHeIHeIS the game
of prime Importance tomor-
row throughout the length
and breadth of the land is the one
booked to take place in Cambridge
between the Commodores and John
ny Harvard.
After "pinning it on" Brown and
Princeton the way Harvard has he
would be deemed a rash man who
would match his pennies that they
couldn't do likewise to Vanderbilt.
and | am not that rash man.
For all that, ii is my conviction
that Vanderbilt will put up a game
Of which we will all be very proud.
The Commodores have gained some
confidence in themselves through
their splendid victories thus far,
and they seem in fair physical
condition to put up close to their
best game Harvard viii not so
greatly outweigh them, as it is a
comparatively light team at Cam
bridge this year. and when it comes
to speed l doubt if they will be one
whit flasher than the Tennessee
ans.
There is still one factor in favor
of Vanderbilt Harvard will not,
can not, be nearly so well keyed
for the contest as will Vanderbilt.
They spent themselves to a very
considerable degree against Brown
and Princeton, and they know they
have yet to hold themselves for SUI
preme efforts against both Dart
mouth and Yale. For Vanderbilt,
on the other hand. the game tomor-
row will be the browning point of
the entire season. and | look to see
them put up quite their best game.
Yes, Harvard should win by a
touchdown or twoN but not more
than that, for have no notion that
Harvard will try to run up a score,
even if they could. If they find the
game going safely they are going
to play safe, put in subs and spare
the regulars. I doubt even whether
Brickley viii be put in the game at
all, unless he just must be used to
pull if out OF the fire.
But no matter who Harvard lines
up, it is my opinion they will have
as busy a time of it as Woodrow
Wilson is having in the hand -shak-
ing line-only in a different way.
1 believe Vanderbilt will work more
successful forward passes than did
Princeton. and also that they will
make more ground around Har-
wards ends than did Princeton,
which is venturing much when you
remember how fast is Princeton's
backfield
| incline likewise to think that
Vanderbilt will stop Harvard's
bucking game about as well as did
the Tigers. And if by keeping
Brickley out Harvard also keeps
themselves out Of some goals from
the field, who knows how closely
they may not be pushed for the de-
cision when the final gong rings?
