CHARGES JURY TO
CLOSE SALOONS
Judge Tenant Hears of Open
Violations and Advises
Probe of Police.

JERSEY CITY, Nov. S.-A sensa-
ton was caused hero yesterday when
County Judge George G. Tenant
charged the Hudson County Grand
Jury that the laws against selling
liquor on Sundays were made to be
enforced, and that 1t was the ''clear
and bounden duty of the Grand Jury
to find indictments not only against
saloon-keepers violating the law ins
this respect, but also against the
chiefs of police and their superiors
who permitted these violations to
continue.
1t was shortly before o'clock when
the Grand Jury filed into Judge Ten
nant's courtroom to hand up to him
some twenty-three indictments, which
are said to include those found
against number of local and Ba-
yonne druggists accused OF selling
cocain and heroin. These alleged Of
tenders were rounded up after an
effective crusade by Director of Pub
lie Safety Frank Hague, of this city
After the court had received the in
dictments Judge Tenant addressed
the Grand Jury, in part, as follows; s
ut has been brought to the atten-
ton of the court by various citizens
and public meetings that there is a
constant and open selling of liquor on
Sundays In violation of the law. With

Electrolysis Blamed for :.
Big Orange Water Bills

Acting on statement from Coun-
Gilman Patrick A. Quinn, the water
and street lighting committee of the
Orange Common Council last night
decided to further investigate the
possibility of losses to water users
through porous pipes, caused by cleo
trolysis from being used to ground"
telephone wires.
The probable causes of many of
the excessive bills reduced by the
committee last night were under dis
cussion when Mr.. Quinn advanced
his theory.
Comptroller Frank @. Coughtry,
who,S, as asked to turn in a statement
of the total amount of outstanding
bills for water rents, reported that
the city is at present owed s10,323 for
back bills. The committee voted that
the matter be placed in the hands of
Mr.. Coughtry and Isaac N. Travis,
superintendent of the water depart
ment, with instructions to make an
effort to have all outstanding ac-
counts collected by the end of the
year.
The petition from the German
English School requesting immunity
from water charges. was granted.

Orange Fire Chief Will
Appeal to Have All City's
Apparatus MOtOr=Driver

Submitting figures which showed
the cost of maintaining the city s
auto-chemical for the year it has
been in use was only Sal, the amount
including insurance on the machine,
Fire Chief Matthews, of Orange,
emphasized to the fire commission, OF
that city, last night, what the NUM-
would have saved by having
all apparatus motor driven. The fire
head stated his intention of including
in his annual report next year 9. rec
ommendation for the purchase of a
motor-gig for himself and having
tractors installed on every piece of
apparatus in the city.
More than 100 alarms were answered
by the machine during the short
period it has been in use, and the
actual cost of operating and repairing
it was SOL. The city at present Is
paying 81 more than that amount for
the maintenance OF team of horses
each month.
The commissioners favor having all
motor-driven apparatus, and they
will aid Chief Matthews in trying to
convince the finance committee of the
Common Council OF tho necessity of
providing funds for more auto en-
gineS.

FIRE PREVENTION
AS SCHOOL STUDY
Welfare Committee Would In
terest ChiIdren-Want State
Fire Marshal.

That the Importance Of fire pre-
venticn could be more effectnally
demonstrated to tho public by inter-
esting the children through the
school authorities, was the general
consensus of opinion at the meeting
of the public welfare committee last
night. The committee also advanced
the idea that q State fire marshal
was necessary for tho purpose Of
supplying municipalities with infor-
nation on the question of proper
safeguards.
In regard to the latter phase of the
question the introduction of O. new fire
marshal bill was taken up and dis
cussed. The first bill introduced suf-
fered because. as Captain c. A. Gas
ser, of the city's bureau OF COM
hustibles, explained, its critics said 1t
did not go far enough, while the sec
ond bill, it was admitted by the mem
bers of the committee, covered too
much ground at one time.
Though the bill VIII tackle the ques-
ton in a gradual way the ultimate
aim of the committee, as expressed
in the points suggested yesterday, Is
to create minimum standard or
safety and fire prevention.
Six points were decided. The po-
mition created shall be attached to the
department OF the commissioner on
banking and insurance, the duties of
the fire marshal shall be as follows:
He shall communicate with officials
in various municipalities as to the
loss of life and property; he shall
communicate his knowledge of fire
prevention to the municipalities in
br1leffna fal1ed from time 70 time and
finally he shall send to the Legisla-
ture the draft of an act covering the
questions of fire prevention and the
establishment of a minimum standard
of safety. The salary of the fire
marshal shall be $1,000 year, the
necessary working force and material
shall be supplied at the discretion of
the commissioner of banking and In
surance.
The committee. which met in the
Wiss building, on Broad street, de-
cided further to ask City Superin-
tendent A. B. Poland today to in
struct the principal to hold appropri-
ate exercises on Tuesday next, when,
for the first time. Fire Prevention
Day. as fixed by law. will be observed
in this State.
The committee has delegated Miss
r.. S. Hamblen to suggest certain ex-
ercises and will ask Mr.. Poland that
they shall be kept a secret until the
day of the celebration.
The official recognition of the day
will consist of an exhibition to be
held in the meeting room of the
Board of Fire Commissioners at the
City HALL Blanks, forms and litera-
ture of the bureau OF combustibles

DOLAN IS GUILTY;
SENTENCE MONDAY
Jury Returns First Degree Ver-
dict in Murder Trial After
Long Session.

Betraying no emotion, John Dolan,
charged with killing his wife, heard a
Jury in the Court of Oyer and Ter
miner declare him guilty late. yester-
day afternoon. Judge William p. Mar
tin fixed Monday as the day on which
Dolan will be sentenced.
A moment after hearing the word
that sealed his fate the murderer IN
his prison pen was calmly reading a
newspaper.
The jury went out at o'clock and
deliberated until nearly 6 o'clock. 1t
was then announced that a verdict
had been reached and the jurymen
were brought into court. Dolan, ac-
companied by a guard, took the same
seat he has occupied during his trial,
and with the same keen look with
which he has watched every move in
his trial his popping gray eyes swept
tie jury box.
He still continued his gaze without
any abatement of interest even after
the Jury had given their verdict and
ware making ready to leave the box.
Before going back to prison he
thanked his counsel, assigned by the
court, for tho strong fight they had
made for him
On Saturday, March %, a policeman
found Dolan on the sidewalk in front
of his home, at So Bruen avenue,
bleeding profusely from a slash in his
throat and another in his right wrist
Within the house on the dining-room
floor the body of Mrs. Dolan, her head
almost decapitated, was found. Dolan
was taken to st. James's Hospital
and was at the point of death for
many hours Tho police the day after
the tragedy obtained a statement
from Dolan, who thought he was
about to die, in which he confessed
killing his wife and attempting t.
take his own life.
| When he recovered he repudiated
the supposed confession and told q
different story of the manner in which
| the trouble occurred. Tho testimony
of the prosecutions witnesses was
overwhelmingly against him, how

Apologize, of Belleville, eighty-seven
wears old.
Being too old and feeble to come to
the surrogates office, Deputy Sur
rogate William J. Flanagan went out
to the old mans home and formally
proved the will there. Mr.. Applegate
recalled perfectly the circumstances
under which he witnessed the will
and signed his name to the now
faded document His testimony re-
suited in Mrs. williams getting her
letters of administration.
Though not required to do SO by
law, Surrogate Egan or Deputy Sur

courtesy, prove wills at the homes of

at the court house in person for that
purpose.
