Find Fault With jail. 4
Another thing that the grand jury
had to find fault with was the female
witness room at the county jail. 1t
was said they found dozen or more
people in small room that was not, in
tended to house half the number This
matter will probably be taken up by
the next grand jury as the House of
Detention is supposed to take care of
all the female witnesses held in the
county jail.
As a matter of fact it does not do
so, as the number of juvenile prison
ers bound 10 be housed in the House
of Detention has increased so rapidly
that the quarters at the House of De-
tention are already overcrowded.
Complaints against the trolley car
system of Newark and vicinity were
many, according to the grand jurymen.
One was that it was impossible for the
jury to find indictments in trolley ac
cidents because the police officers of
the city or suburban towns did nothing
to help out. The recommendation was
that police officers be required to get
the names of all persons who are in
accidents. q
The South Orange line was scoreus
as it was found that the turning point
at the city line was in a swamp and
that no transfers were issued except
under certain conditions. Just what
those conditions were were not made
clear, but it was apparent that Ahere
was some reason for the kick because

Says Rival Backs
Trunk Strikers

The cause of the present trunk
makers strike at the factory of L.
Goldsmith & Son. Cherry and Canal
streets, can be traced to outside COM
petitors, today declared David Oster-
we'll, a member of the firm.
1--WE have information that a con-
cern out of the city has purposely
started this dissension among our en-
ployees." said Mr. Osterweil, because
we have been doing large volume of
business here. They claim we under
pay our men, but that is not so. We
are willing to confer with our own
men as to a settlement, but any out
side delegation we will have nothing
to do with
Charles Steiwald, vice-president OF
the Leather Workers Union, today
declared that there was no settlement
in sight.
81 have a letter from our national
secretary In Wisconsin, which I re-
ceived today" said Mr.. Steiwald, ''and
he states he was astounded at the
small wages paid to the average man
employed at Goldsmith's. He also tells
me that the Wisconsin manufacturers
have been wondering how the Gold
smith concern has been able to under
sell them. but with such scale OF
wages in vogue they can readily un-
derstand now"
Mr.. Steiwald declared that the union
men were not worrying about the re-
port that the leather cutters and 9TH
ers employed at Goldsmith's were to
take the places of the strikers. He
q sserfad his belief that these outfars
we're unskilled and not only would
"botch" the work, but would not be
able to make enough money at it.

ANOTHER Big
SKYSCRAPER

PLANS LARGE STRUCTURE

Purchase Made from Osborne
Realty Company-Price Is
Not Divulged.

The Osborne Realty Company build
ing, at the southeast corner of Broad
and Clinton streets, has been purchased
by the Union National Bank, accord
ing to announcement made today.
William Scheerer, president of the
bank, was out of the city today, but the
deal was confirmed by Uzal III. Nc
Carter, president of the bank, and
Robert A. Osborne, president of the
realty company. The consideration was
not announced.
Yes, the Union National Bank has
purchased the property" declared Mr..
McCarter, but / cannot say at this
time what will be done with the site.
A short time ago we announced that
the bank would build a new structure
on its present site, 756 and 75S Broad
street, but this new sale means big
change in all arrangements"
1--WE had our plans very nearly COM
pleted for the building which was to
replace the present home of the bank,
when it became evident that the Os-
borne property could be purchased. 1t
was agreed by everybody concerned
that it would be fitting for the Union
National Bank to secure that corner

keeping with the other three large
buildings there"
Mr.. McCarter referred to the Pru-
Dental buildings at Broad and Bank
streets and the Mutual Benefit Life
Insurance Company building on the
northeast corner of Broad and ClintoR
streets 1t is thought that the bank
win erect a large structure on the cor
ner in keeping with the other buildings.
Refuses to DivuIge Price.
The new deal gives the Union Ma
tional Bank a frontage on Broad street
of sixty-six feet. The Osborne prop
erty has twenty-five feet frontage on
Broad street and Is 1870 feet deep, the
same depth as the property originally
owned by the bank.
Asked what price had been paid for
the Osborne property Mr.. McCarter
said ''the consideration is confidential
1T present and will not be divulged.
The transaction is a good thing for
Newark. as you can imagine, and 1t
was consummated through Robert A.
Osborne to whom a lot of credit is
due.
Mr.. McCarter declared he did not
know whether the building plans Of
the bank would be arranged so that
the present scheme in the hands of. the
architect could be merely extended so
as to include the newly acquired prop
erty, or entirely different plans made,
The bank property now includes Nos.

BANKRUPT IS
OUT ON BAIL

Pending an appeal of his case, Men
del Makowsky. who was sentenced to
six months in the county jail in Mercer
county for contempt, was released in
the sum of $4,000 ball last night on
habeas corpus. John c. Eisele stood
sponsor for the $1,000. Makowsky was
president of the Star Spring Bed Com
pany, which went through bankruptcy
proceedings last fall. 1t was alleged
that day or two before the bank
ruptcy proceedings began Makowsky
withdrew from the Union National
Bank of this city $4,000 worth of notes
and accommodation papers. On the
stand he testified that the notes with
drawn had been either returned to the
makers or destroyed by himself and
Harris Gutman, who committed suicide
when an investigation of the missing
notes was started
David III. Bilder, trustee of the
bankrupt estate, conducted the inves-
tigation and prosecution.
AS the writ of error could not oper-
ate as a stay of sentence, and since
Makowsky had already begun to serve
his term, it was agreed that a habeas
corpus writ should be obtained in order
to bring Makowsky before Judge John
Rallstab, of the United States District
Court, so the court could hear the ar
gument admitting the prisoner to bail.
Mokowsky agreed that if the verdict
against him was sustained he would
return to the Mercer county jail to
finish his sentence.
He will be heard on the writ of error
in the Circuit Court of Appeals at Phil
adelphia. Makowsky was released last
night at o'clock. Makowsky was

New York.

As to the Wedin support of the in
dorsement, many Democrats are ex-
pressing wonder. They recall Governor
Wilson's campaign speeches in Hudson
county last fall. In these speeches he
mentioned every candidate for sheriff
but Wedin. These Democrats have
heard that from that period until re-
