Badly Beaten
in Saloon Row

John Lilmonik, 40 years old, of Long
port, Pa, is at st. Jamess Hospital
suffering from bruises and cuts he re-
ceived in fight in the saloon of An
drew Buchal, 4sT Market street. The
proprietor of the saloon, whom it is al
legged was the chief in the assault on
Lilmonik, was held in $500 bail by
Judge Hahn in the Third Precinct Po-
lice Court today. while Rudolph Heck.
20 years old, of so Belmont avenue. and
Frank Mazzie, q years old, of l21
Second avenue, New York, were held
IN $500 bail each for the grand jury.
According to the, police the men were
in the saloon drinking when the bar
keeper demanded to be paid for several
drinks he had served. No one seemed
willing to pay and then It was declared
as long as Lilmonik had ordered them
he must pay.
When the money was not forthcou-
ing it is alleged the proprietor took a
hand and threw Limonik from the sa-
loon. where he was further roughly
treated by the other two men. The
timely arrival of patrolmen, who placed
the trio under arrest. saved the man
from more severe punishment. The
condition of Lilmonik is not serious.

WAITING FOR
STRIKEORDER

CLEVELAND, March 22.--Whether
100000 miners in the bituminous coal
fields would strike or merely would
suspend operations after April de-
pended largely on the deliberations to-
day of a subcommittee composed OF
two miners and two operators, each
from western Pennsylvania, Ohio, In
diana and Illinois.
The subcommittee, with John P.
White, president of the United Mine
Workers of America, as the chief dele
gate of the miners, may continue its
sessions several days In an effort to
effect compromise agreement fol-
lowing the fiat refusal of the operators
10 grant the miners demands for a
10 per cent increase in pay and short
er working hours.
Although a shutdown Of all the
union bituminous coal mines in the
country is said by President White to
be certain. both sides declare they are
anxious to prevent a strike or even q
suspension of long duration. With the
wage dispute of the anthracite coal
miners still unsettled, and with only
about one months supply of bitumin-
Gus coal mined they say prolonged
shutdown would involve serious con-
sequences to industry.

TO PLAN WAR
ON SHELTERS

In advance of the appointment by
Chief Justice Gummere of an Essex
county commission for the extermi-
nation of mosquitoes a meeting of men
interested in the fight against the New
Jersey pest will be held in the rooms
of the Board of Health late this after
noon.
Since Governor Wilson signed the
bill creating county commissions
through the State only yesterday, The
utmost haste is requisite in Essex if
an apportionment for the year 1913 is
to be obtained from the Board of Free
holders. The request for funds, to-
gether with an outline of the COM
missions plans, will be presented to
the freeholders before April L
The new act takes the matter of
mosquito determination from the local
health boards and places it in the
hands of county commissions, each
consisting of six members and ap-
pointed by the chief justice. Three of
these members have to be selected
from the boards of health of the
county.

Common Council Has Full
Power to Cope with
Situation.
HUMANE SOCIETY NOT BI0
ENOUGH TO HANDLE STRAYS
Health Board Members Believe
Something Strenuous Must
Be Done at Once.

That the thousands of dogs running
at large in the city are not only a ter
rible menace to the people, but that
conditions are steadily growing worse,
was the declaration today Of Health
Officer David D. Chandler. The Eve
ming Star yesterday printed statistics
from the hospital records which showed
that already nearly a hundred cases
OF dog biting had occurred this year.
IN one case resulting fatally.
Mr.. Chandler declared that the esti-
mate Of 1900 dogs at lauge in the city
was low and that the number was
probably at least 10000 Continuing,
Mr.. Chandler said:
The Humane Society. which now
has charge Of the dog question. is not
large enough body TO cope with the
situation What they do is an right
but it is not enough.
Our dog bill at Trenton is dead. but
City Counsel Nugent had informed rs
that the Common Council has full
charge OF the situation, as shown In

The sentiment of the majority of the
members of the Board of Health IL
that something must be done. and
done Immediately.
The commissioners. having failed to
get the dog bill through the Lee;s-
lature. VIII ask the Common Council
to turn over the dog question to them.
The laws OF 1896 provide that the
Council has right TO TX the Zee or
license of dogs and the right also TO
appoint dog wardens. The annual APP
preparations viii soon be made by the
Council. and the application by the
Health Board may be made prior to
that date. In the event or xavorabis
actinn. .ths present sysfszn q aDpro
priating $500 annually DO the Humans
Society would be discontinued, and
once more the city would have its own
pound.
One remedy I'm the opinion of many
would be the strict enforcement of the
license act 1t would not only be the
source of considerable revenue to the
city, but would require all owners nat
urally TO keep only the best breed Of
dogs. The unlicensed ones would not
be tagged and it would be an easy mat
ter to pick them up and would finally
lead TO their being put to death.
The question of the inspectors of the
Board of Health being able to keep tabs
on stray dogs is nothing new Az
though not ordered to do so, the in
spectors, particularly Charles Conrad.
who is especially detailed. bring In re-
ports time and again. and it is on such
information that the Humane Society
often acts.
Instead of the inspectors traversing
the city accomplishing nothing, as
somebody charged, the truth is TO the
contrary. They are divided into differ
ent corps. such as sanitary. plumbing,
fumigation, food and drugs. Their
work is laid out daily and often they
have scores of visits to perform. The
plan is in addition TO have inspectors
make record Of dogs and conditions
they might detect while en- route.

follows:
ITO the House of Assembly, take
the liberty of returning without my
signature Assembly bill No. 425. enti-
tied An act providing for the appoint
ment of police justices In villages in
this State and fixing the term thereof
Upon inquiry l find that this act
applies to police justices in only a
single locality. The objection TO the
passage of this act at this particular
time is open to misconstruction, and
would urge upon the Legislature the
propriety of providing for the selec-
ton of all officers of this class upon
some common system and ciassifica-
ton, so that no legislation Of this kind
could be open TO the objection of limit
ed and special application"

The second veto affects Assembly rs.
This bill would permit the Newark
Common Council to increase salaries
in the Excise Board. The bill took
away the minimum as well as the
maximum amount that may be paid

This act is special in its object 1t
