GETS "A TAP BACK
FROM BOARD OF WORKS

The finance committee of the Board
Of Works had an experience with a
new type of Kicker at its meeting
yesterday, who knew what he wanted
and who stayed until he got it. When
"Jim" Donnelly, OF vailsburg, "the
man with the big STICK made his
appearance in the board rooms the
commissioners know that trouble was
In store for them. He diO not mince
his words and did not apologize, as
is the custom, for troubling the COM
missioners, but got right to the point.
The water department had had the
audacity to remove a water tap from
in front of his lot in Smith. He
wanted 1t hack, and he got it.
Donnelly walked before the COM
mittee with trouble all over his face.
Commissioner Charles f. Kraemer,
with that intuition he has acquired
in reading the faces of voters these
nights, read the face truly. whats
the trouble now?" queried the doc
tor.
81 could come down here very often
with trouble, but L am going to put
lust n trouble before you today,
and It must be set right before l leave
here" said the Vailsburg man, who
then declared the water department
had removed a trap from in front of
his lot on Smith street, and he wanted
it replaced. There were denials, but
Mr.. Donnelly was not to be put off.
He welded his big stick then, just
as he did when someone up Walls
burg way a year ago painted on a
fence, For Steam Roller, James Dom
nelly"
ct need some money to bet on
Haussling,' he said. 80 I'll wager
$40 with any one of you gentlemen
thai the tap was taken out"
Reports were sent for from the en-
gineer's Office and during the wait
good-natured banter was INDUCED
about politics. Perhaps realizing that
he was before a Republican body,
Donnelly automatically predicted
that Taft would win. The Republic
can commissioners changed their ex-
pressions caused by the Vailsburg
mans Democratic remarks a few
moments before. He winked and a
few minutes later showed pom a
map that the tap had been removed.
Now that must ago back" he
fairly shouted.
.All right" chorused the commits
sioners, and answering "all right,
then" the man with the big stick"
went back to Vailsburg.

new HOSPITAL
| OPENS ITS DOORS
Maternity Institution Occupies
Former Jewish Sisterhood
Day Nursery Building.

The Newark Maternity Hospital, a
charitable institution, endowed by
poplar subscription, opened its
doors to the public this morning for
the FIRST time. 1t will occupy the
former home of the Jewish Sister
hood Day Nursery, at log Montgom-
cry street, which has been thoroughly
remoaeled and m~odernized to meet
its new requirements as a hospital.
The scope of the new institution,
which has been incorporated under
the laws of the State of New Jersey.
viii be to receive maternity cases
that cannot be properly cared for
in their homes through lack of means,
accommodations or nursing; to give
them free medical and surgical at
tendance and to take care of the in
FAINT and mother as long as it is
deemed necessary.
The movement that started the hos
pital is the result of cen investi-
cations, which showed that amongst
the poorer classes one of the factors
that contribute largely to the high
infant mortality rate is the physical
inferiority of the new born. through
the neglect of the mother. Hard labor
up to confinement, unsanitary sur
roundings, undertaking of mother
and child are the conditions which
boost the mortality rate and which
the hospital will aim to alleviate.
In connection with the maternity
hospital there will be conducted a
school for midwives and practical
nurses. the only one of its kind in
New Jersey.

ENTIRELY GONE
Start Handsome New Struc.
ture at Report Soon.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Special 10 the EVENING NEWS.
Keyport, Nov. 21.-FolIo wing the
completion of the tearing away of
the old foundation on the site of the
ruins of the armory, the work of the
reconstruction of the property has
now begun.
Following the purchase of the
property by H.. Vreeland, 1t was first
proposed to erect the new structure
on the old foundation, but owing to
the possibility of the foundation be-
ing unsound and not of sufficient
strength to support the building the
idea was abandoned and the de-
struction of the original foundation
was commenced.
According to the present plans the
structure will be built out to the side
walk line, thereby giving the build
ing a greater length. The width will
be about the same. A stage some
what larger than the previous accom-
modations will be placed in the the
atre. ..-~
When completed the building will
contain two stores facing First
street, a large auditorium and stage
for theatrical performances and dane
ing and entertainments of all sorts.
The second story will be fitted up for
apartments.
The structure is being rushed as
much as possible, so as to be ready
for use, shortly after the first of the
year. 1t is understood that Fred
Frick will manage the theatre.

RESIGNS JOB
AT HOLMDEL
Postmaster Guy Has Served
Twenty Years There.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Matawan, Nov. 21:-J. Alex Guy,
postmaster of Holmdel the past
twenty years or more, has sent in his
resignation to the government and
he says the ooner the government
accepts the resignation and appoints
a new man to the place the better he
will be pleased.
Being postmaster of Holmdel has
been a strenuous job in the past and
Mr.. Guy, although not an old man,
has reached that stage of life when
the strenuous does not appeal to his
nature as much as 1t used to. After
his resignation is accepted he will
devote all his time to his grocery and
agricultural business. Probably no
postofflce in this section, with the ex-
ception of the Little Silver office, has
been visited by thieves more times
than the one at Holmdel. The first
postoffice robbery at Holmdel was
four years ago. Mr.. Guy engaged in
a duel with the thieves which lasted
about ten minutes and fortunately
was not hurt, although it was
thought at the time that one of the
thieves were hit. They made away
with the booty and the stolen horse
was found dead some weeks later in
a swamp in the western end of the
county.
About two months ago thieves
again paid a visit to the p~ostofice.
This time, however, Mr.. Guy opened
fire on them and they escaped, but
without any booty. The first visit of
the cracksmen cost Mr.. Guy $3.50 to
buy a new safe besides money to re-
place articles stolen from the store.
After these occurrences Mr.. Guy
did not think 1t worth while to hold
office, particularly as he has recently
received notice that a postal savings
bank department and also a postal
post system is to be established in
the Holmdel p%ostofice. These new
departments meant a lot Of extra
work and no extra event The
compensation of the country post
masters depends on the number of
stamps cancelled at the home office.
Rural free delivery routes from Free
hold, Keyport and here greatly de-
creased the amount of business at
the Holmdel postofice. Another big
cut was made when a p~ostofice was
established at Everett.
Holmdel people would like Alex
l.. MacClees to take the office. He
was postmaster when Grover Cleve-
land was president and he made a
very satisfactory postmaster. Mr..
MacClees is well known here in Mat
avian, at one time having a harness
shop in what is now known as Com
mercial Block.
