the institution. Addresses were also
given by Director Walter A. Evans.
of the Beard of Freeholders, and
Richard F. Malta, chairman of the
prison committee.
And now the sad tale of Mr. Philip
Casey who for a brief three hours of
freedom on Saturday afternoon for
feited his right to shine as the star
end man of the show. Casey was in
the penitentiary, all right, last night,
but he did not see the show. Instead,
he was in a cell far distant from the
scene of the festivities Illuminating
over what a fool he had been to
escape from the prison last Saturday
afternoon and allow himself to be cap
tured at the corner of Hoyt street and
Central avenue, this city, few hours
later.
For escaping, Warden Hosp put
Casey in solitary confinement, and
thereby threw hearty scare into the
minstrel troupe. as It's best end man
was lost to them. Not daunted, how
ever, Philip Cosgrove. a keeper, who
drilled the men, got busy, and pro-
vided a substitute for Casey,
And while Casey was weeping bitter
tears of remorse in his cell last night
his substitute was out before the foot
lights covering himself with glory and
winning the unstlnted applause that
would have been Casey's If he had de-
layed his escape until after the min

Siegel- Cooper Firm Of
Chicago Is Not Affected

CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-According to
Max Pam. general counsel for Siegel-
Cooper & Co., of Chicago, and the
Siegel Stores Company. the receiver
ship proceedings in Boston in no way
affects the Siegel- Cooper Company,
Of Chicago.
The statement then goes on to say:
1.-THE Siegel Stores Corporation Is
the holder of all the capital stock of
the Simpson Crawford Company, of
New York; the Fourteenth Street
Store, of New York, and is also q
creditor of these two companies and
also of the Henry Siegel Company, of
Boston. and as such creditor insti-
tuted proceedings for the appointment
of receiver OF those three companies,
under which receivers have been ap-
pointed and the business taken In
charge by them.
THE condition which precipitated
the receivership for the Simpson
Crawford Company, the Fourteenth
Street Store and Henry Siegel Com
pany, of Boston, was largely due to
the contraction of their bank credits
and commercial paper market.
Under the orders of court the re-
ceivers will continue the business OF
Simpson Crawford Company, the
Fourteenth Street Store and Henry
Siegel Company, of Boston, pending
the preparation and submission of
plans for reorganization of those prop
critics and the resumption of business
by them.
1.-THE receivership secured by the
Siegel Stores Corporation for Simpson
Crawford Company, the Fourteenth
Street Store and Henry Siegel Com
pany, of Boston, in no way affects the
Siegel-Cooper Company, of Chicago.
"Siegel- Cooper Company, of Chicago,
is In no way involved in the receiver
ship in the East and is entirely inde-
pendent of the other stores In the
East, and has not had its financial
credit, either In banks or commercial
paper market, contracted or impaired,
as In the case of the Eastern stores.
Siegel- cooper Company, of Chicago,
is prosperous and successful, and the
business will be continued without in
terruption."

Freeholders and Other Officials in Audience

Gentlemen, be seated" said the in
terlocutor, clad in blue shirt and

fifty persons, all clad In blue and
brown uniforms, were seated. In true
minstrel style the interlocutor ad-
vanced to the footlights and an
nounced:

show was on.
1t all took place last night at the
annual minstrel show of the prisoners
confined in the Essex county peniten-
tiary, at Caldwell, and on the word
of those present 1t was some minstrel
show.
The talent was composed entirely
of inmates of the prison, but sad to
say 1t did not include Philip Casey, a
prisoner, whose work as an end man
in the rehearsals had been the hit of
the show: but of Mr.. Casey more
anon.
The minstrel performance took
place in the recreation centre in the
penitentiary, and was attended by the
800 prisoners, male and female, and
200 invited guests. Including the mem

end that it shall amount. when re-
duced to a cash value, to the amount
stated as our appraisal of value of
properties herein considered.
Our valuation is also based on the
assumption that all mortgages and
outstanding liabilities will be as
sumed by the seller, who will trans
fer the properties free of encum-
brances to the purchaser and that
the seller Will retain all cash on
hand and unclaimed revenues at the
time of the transfer"
Newark City Engineer Morris r..
Sherrerd, engineer of the State Water
Supply Commission, issued the fol-
lowing statement:
EARLY in the year 1911 the State
Water Supply Commission, at the re-
quest expressed at a, joint meeting OF
representatives of most of the cities
now being supplied with water by
the East Jersey Water Company and
also including the cities OF Newark
and East Orange, undertook negotia-
tons looking to the acquisition by
the State of the water properties OF
the East Jersey Water Company and
its allied corporations. These include
the Passaic Water Company, the
Acquackanonk Water Company, the
kearny Water Company and the
Montclair Water Company.
Certain propositions were made by
the company, but before the same
We're considered by the State Water
supply Commission 1t was deemed
wise that the appraisal of the prop
critics should be made by experts EN-
p!oyed by the State, and for this pur-
pose an appropriation was made by
the Legislature and the report of the
Valuators for the State Water Sup
ply Commission, Messrs. Herschel.
Hlll and Maury, was received by the
commission today
In the negotiations so far consid-
cred, it has been proposed to take
over the properties of the several
companies, subject to their outstand-
ing bonds. which amount to s7,576, 900
paying for the excess of the values of
the properties above the present out
standing bonds by the issuance of
state Water Supply Commission
bonds for the equity Of the companies
In the properties. Such a transaction
would mean practically paying for
the properties by a mortgage at the
full value of the properties.
In the appraisal of the properties
the two figures which are comparable
are appraisal by the water companies
as of December 81, 1919, SO, 900, 900; APP
praisal by the States experts on the
same basis. $S,72S, 800, representing
the value which the experts consider
should be paid. as between willing
seller and willing purchaser, the
purchaser having the right of con-
demnation.
The above valuations practically
mean that the company's experts say
that the equities of the companies in
their properties would be represented
by 1898, 100. and the commissions ap-
praisers would place this equity at
S1,151, 400.
I'm any negotiations for the pur-
chase of the properties. any cost for
actual construction since December
81, 1912, must be added to the value
of the property, and the depreciation
on the plant during the same inter-
walls should be deducted"

Wilson Sends a Message to
Cheer Congressman Bremnei

BALTIMORE,D Dec 30.-Representa-
tive Robert G. Bremner, of New Jer-
sey. who on Christmas Day was OPP
Grated on for cancer when DR. How
ard A. Kelly inserted radium valued
at 100000 in his left shoulder yester-
day. received a message of greeting
from President Wilson. Secretary

There does not seem to be the
slightest change one way or the other
in the condition of Mr.. Bremner,"
said Dr. Lewis, assistant to DIR.
Kelly. "He is resting as comfortably
as could be expected. He was greatly
cheered by the message from the
President"
Secretary Tumulty chatted with
Mr.. Bremner for few minutes and
found him quite optimistic. 1t has
been this confidence in his ultimate
recovery, his friends say. that has
kept the Congressman alive for the
last nine months. His fortitude in
bearing pain has won for him the
highest admiration of the distin-
guished scientists who have been
daily observing the effect of the
radium test.

MRS. WALDECK TO
CLAIM PROPERTY
1coptinucd from First rasse


went out. and later on ] heard that
he had killed himself with poison"
According to Troxler, Waldeck
came to Newark from Brooklyn in
1906 with a woman whom he intro
duced as his wife. They made their
home first in Morris avenue. where
they both became acquainted with
Mrs. Buckow. Later they moved to
Monmouth street. where Mrs. Wal
deck" died a few weeks ago. Wal
deck sold his furniture, said TO be
worth 500, for s127, and took a room
at $40 Morris avenue.
Waldeck was insured with the Pru-
Dental for $204, and that policy is
held by the Peoples Burial Company.
There also is a death benefit of $500
from the BARRIERS union.
Mrs. Buckow, according TO Troxler,
understood that Waldeck had no
relatives. and so she engaged the
Peoples Burial Company on her own
authority.
Meanwhile, so John Manager, presi-
dent of the BARRIERS union, said to-
day, he had asked his brother. Jo-
seph Manager, an undertaken in
Springfield avenue. to conduct the
funeral for the union.
Manager sent a man to the City
Hospital to embalm the body and
then the Peoples Burial Company
claimed the body. On note said to
have been written by Mrs. Buckow,
in which she claimed to be cousin
of Waldeck, Superintendent Talbot,
of the hospital, surrendered Wal
decks body to the Peoples Burial
Company.
John Manager asserted today that
the matter would probably be inves-
tigated by the union at a meeting in
Elks' Hall Tuesday night.
Harry Zeliff, a member of the Peo-
pies Burial Company, said that when
Waldeck paid the bill for Mrs. Wal
decks" funeral he remarked
IT will be going before New Years
! want to have the same kind of flu
neral as my wife"
Zeliff tried to cheer him up

been sold by him few days before

he killed himself. According to Trox-
Ter. Waldeck mentioned the fact that
he had sold them, but did not say to
whom. 1t Is not known what he did
with the money
Waldeck was employed for nearly
five years In the barber shop of
August Rommele, at 81 Aston street.
He left there last June during the
journeymen BARRIERS strike. He after
ward worked in a barber shop on
Mulberry street. near Market street OF
late he was manager of the Athens
barber shop in the basement of TIA
Broad street He left there on Christ
mas Day at noon, saying he was going
to the cemetery to visit the grave of
his wife. Several hours later he was
found dying in his apartment. He
had taken formaldehyde.
Waldeck was very much attached
to the woman with whom he had been
living in this city. 1t was learned to-
day that they were neighbors in
Brooklyn. He first met her while she
was employed as a singer in a concert
hall. After her death q month ago
he frequently spoke of her and seemed
to mourn greatly. He frequently
spoke of committing suicide, but be-
cause of his apparently genial dis
position none of his friends paid any
attention to his threats except to say
that he was joking.
According to Mrs. Waldecl, who
was seen today at her home, 100 Shelf
field avenue, Brooklyn, her husband
deserted her on Christmas day seven
years ago. They were then living at
All Liberty avenue, Brooklyn. She
found herself destitute with seven
children to support Waldeck had
conducted a barber shop in Wyona
street. Following his disappearance
he was expelled from the Bunker Hill
Lodge of Odd Fellows, of which he
WAS a member.

of Negotiations With

Paris banking houses are participant
ing In the transaction.
Speyer Brothers will pay the Janu-
airy coupon of the National Railways

PARIS, Dec. 30.--The loan advanced
by the International banking group to
the Mexican government to enable it

January amounted to 100000.
Adolfo de la Lama, Mexican minis
ter Of finance, left Paris for London
on Sunday night in the expectation of
arranging there for a loan sufficient
to pay the January interest on the
railroad bonds.
Negotiations with this object in
view were already well advanced
with the representatives in Paris of
the International banking group, but
differences OF opinion arose which
made IL necessary for Senior de la
Lama to go to London with the Mex
lean financial agent, Pedro del Paso,
in order TO complete the transaction,
which, It Is said, is likely to be sue
cessful.

LAUDS FINANCE
| COMMITTEE OF
CITY COUNCIL
City Counsel Nugent Declares
Members Deserve City's
Thanks.

In complimentary the various Of
heials who are in charge of the city
finances at the last meeting of the 1913
finance committee of the Common
Council last night, City Counsel James
r. Nugent declared that the city had
done remarkably well during the year.
The members of the finance commit
tee had done their duty faithfully and
were entitled to the thanks of every
fair minded citizen. Mr.. Nugent said.
AS an evidence of the city's credit the
city counsel pointed to the recent sale
of bonds, which brought such high
premium.
A formal vote of thanks was ten
dered the retiring members of the
committee. Aldermen Edward G.
Eaton. Edward j. Quigley and w.
Frank Hopping and to Clerk Richard
A. Finn. Alderman John H. Donnelly,
the outgoing president of the Council,
made a few congratulatory remarks.
The last meeting of this year S
committee brought little new busi-
ness. but instead was enlivened by a
tempest in the tea pot" in which
the principals were Comptroller
Tyler Parmly and Auditor James A.
Rowe, and the object the question of
paying SIS to NJ. w. Parsons for
extra work done in the comptroller's
office.
Mr.. Parmly contended that the bill
Ind been authorized by the council
some months ago, but somehow was
lost" and he presented a new one
with an affidavit from Parsons ex-
planning the work he did. He stated
that Mr.. Parsons had received 5000
In connection with checking back and
Strengthening out of accounts from
1902 to date and when some extra
work was needed he was told to do
it with the understanding that for
that he would likewise be compen-
stated. He was given William Torp-
pey as assistant and the latter
promptly received the SIS, while Par
sons's second bill was buried.
Mr.. Parmly intimated that this was
done to prevent the payment and he
also criticised the auditor for taking
bill out of the budget.
Mr.. Rowe came back by handing in
" statement he had prepared, setting
forth that the work did not amount
TO much; that Parsons had been paid
once and that Torppey. who had I'M
dertaken the work in good faith, had
not as yet received anything. Other

In addition to this letter Mr.. Rowe
said he did not care to add anything
except that the work done was not
worth much and that his Office had
TO practically do it.
The request of Mr.. Parmly for pay
ment of Parsons was left with the
auditor.
DIR. James T. Wrightson, the chair
man of the hospital committee of the
Board of Health, appeared before the
finance committee and asked for an
extra appropriation of $2,454 for the
City Hospital to tide the institution
over the month of December. He said
the appropriation had been cut, al
though it had been figured to close
margin. OF the amount asked for

paid to the insurance fund commits

quest was referred to the AUDITOR
