PAVING AWARD IS
CALLED ILLEGAL

Claiming that the specifications Tor
the paving of Oakland terrace were
not on file during the whole of the
period in which the advertisements
for bids on the work appeared in the
press. Mayor Jacob HaussliDg re-
turned the resolution adopted by the
Board of Works for the paving of
Oakland terrace without his approval.
Not only does the mayor put his veto
on the awarding OF the contracts, put
he sets forth the claim that 1t is NE
gal to award such contract under
the existing conditions. The mayor
veto follows:
Il return herewith, without my APP
proval. a resolution adopted by your
honorable body on October y lasl:
making an award for the paving OF
Oakland terrace, from South Orange
avenue to 503 feet south of Gun
street. with asphalt block. | have
learned that the specifications for
this pavement were not on file during
the whole of the period in which the
advertisement inviting bids appeared
in the press. To make an award un-
der such circumstances would seem
to me to be not only improper, but
Illegal.
''In this connection l beg leave TO
call to the attention of your honora-
BILE body the disparity between the
bids for the Oakland terrace, pave
ment and those recently received by
the Board of Chosen F'reeholders for
similar kind of pavement. The dif-
ference is very much against the

STREET CAR STEPS
ORDERED LOWERED
BY UTILITY BOARD
Ruling Of State Commissioners,
However, Only Applies to
New Trolley Cars.
Especial TO the Newark star.I

TRENTON, Oct 23.-The Board of
Public Utility Commissioners today
handed down a decision ordering the
Public Service Railway Company to
lower steps on new cars for the
transportation of passengers. The
board takes the stand that the steps
of the trolley cars of the company
are so high as to endanger the
health and comfort of the travelling
public.
The order issued today says the
initial step on the cars shall not eX-
ceed fifteen inches in height and a
second step shall not he more than
fourteen inches in height. The COM
plainants in the case We're W. 5.
Davidson, of Jersey City, and Mrs.
Brice Collard. representing the Ninth
district of the State Federation of
Womens Clubs.
In its memorandum announcing the
decision, the board says that before
making an order reducing the height
of steps on present equipment, the
commissioners feel the need of ad-
ditional evidence. At a further hear
ing supplementary evidence will be
taken on a classification of the height
of steps on 245 cars unlisted and the
cost of reconstructing present equip

ARMOUR HAS MEAT
Joke WITH POE[S
U. S. and Argentine Beef Mag
mates Enjoy Uproariously
Funny Secret.

NEW YORK. oct. 2S.---J. ogden
Armour. meat packer of Chicago, who
arrived by the White Star liner Olym-
pic, said yesterday that ii was alb
surd to suppose that the United
States government would prevent
him from buying beef in Argentina
and shipping it to this country.
His declaration was inspired by the
question of reporter who told him
that Uncle Sam was considering the
advisability of looking into his char
tering of all the cold storage space
capable OF holding about 10000 cubic
tons, in the Lamport a Holt fleet
plying between Buenos Ayres and
this port.
As this practically meant a monop-
oily Of cold storage ships from Buenos
Ayres and the prohibition of ship
ment by others of Argentine beef
Mr.. Armour's questioner said he uu-
derstood that would be the reason
for possible action by the govern
ment.
Mr. Armour admitted that he had
contracted with the Lamport d Holt
Line for the refrigerating space. He
said if it were true that the govern
ment intended to prevent him bring
ing in his beef by the Lamport x
Holt ships he would try TO get it III
by some other route.
The reporter asked Mr.. Armour If
the price of beef would not be higher.
The meat packer smiled and referred
the question to p. J. Poels, head Of
the Argentine beef packers, who was
standing beside Mr. Armour and who
also was a voyager by the Olympic.
MIR. Poels laughed and knocked Mr.,
ArImours hat off in sportive protest
against the latters suggestion that
he, Mr. Poels, should answer the
question.

VANDERBILT URGES
CENTRAL FEDERAL
BANK FOR i. S.
Would Be Capitalized at $780,
100000 and Hold All Cow
ernment Money.

WASHINGTON, Oct. PA COM
plete substitute plan for a govern
ment controlled federal bank was
presented to the Senate banking COM
mittee today by Frank Vanderlip,
president of the National City Bank
of New York He framed the plan
at the suggestion of senator's
THE government would grant a
fifty-year charter to the federal re-
serve bank of the United states with
capital stock of 800. 100000" said he.
Mr.. Vanderlip outlined plan to
have the proposed bank rediscount
for all member banks commercial pa :
per to the amount of the member
banks capital and surplus. The fed
eral bank would also buy and sell
paper bearing Endorsement by member
banks in the open market in order
to maintain discount rate.
THE head Office of the Federal
Bank would be in Washington with
twelve branches in cities selected and
sub b-branches wherever designated by
the board of the federal reserve
bank" said he.
"The federal bank would be wholly
under the management of board OF
seven directors appointed by the
President, with the advice and con-
sent of the Senate, with terms of
fourteen years. At least three should
be recognized to have had wide iinan-
cial and banking experience.
'The governments portion of earn
ings would be devoted to the retire
ment of the public debt. The gov
ernment would deposit all its gen.
eral fund with the bank and eonstl-
tute the Institution its fiscal agent.
All bank reserves would be held in
the vaults of the member banks and
with the Federal reserve bank. The
reserve requirement would be the
same for all member banks and ulti-
mately be IL per cent. The reserve
to be held by the Federal reserve
bank would never be less than %
per cent of its demand and liabilities,
including note ISSUES, in gold or law
full money"
State banks and trust companies
would be admitted by conforming 10
the same requirements as national
banks.
"The circulating notes Of the federal
reserve bank would be a first lien on
all assets of the bank, Mr.. Nanderlip
explained.
"The federal bank would have. in
turn, a first lien upon the assets or
banks"
Senators questioned Mr.. Vanderlip
closely on the details of his plan, and
Senators Bristow and Hitchcock in
dorsed many of the proposals.
Mr.. Vanderlip and Jacob S. CoXey
who led the army of unemployed
against Washington twenty years
ago, sat side by side while waiting to
give their views on currency reform
TO the Senate committee.

"RECORD LABORS

publican Candidate.
Especial to the Newark star.I

TRENTON, Oct. 23.-Former Gov
ernor Edward c. Stokes today made
reply to the attack of State Assessor
George l.. Record few days ago.
Mr.. Stokes treats Mr.. Records attack
lightly and says the latter would
rather argue than achieve.
Mr.. Stokes says:

come lonely and is trying to break
into the campaign. So far as l am
concerned the discussion and the is
sues Of this contest are between Gov

CLERIC A WITNESS
IN Navarro TRIAL
Ex-Head of Anti-Saloon League
Tells of Revelry by Ho-
tel Diners.

The State finished putting in its
evidence against Cornelius J. Har-
rington, on trial in Quarter Sessions
Court before Judge Harry V. Os-
borne on q charge of maintaining a
disorderly house at the Hotel Ma
varre. at 1890 today, and the defense
at once got busy introducing charac-
ter witnesses for the accused man.
In rapid succession former Assist
ant Prosecutor Frederick Il. Lehl-
bach. who with Alexander Simpson,
of Jersey City, is defending Harring-
ton, put witnesses on the stand to
testify that they had frequently vis-
tied the Hotel Navarro and had never
witnessed anything out of the or
binary or unseemly in the action of
persons there.
The first witness called by the de-
fense was Walter Ressland, court
stenographer in Judge Osborne's
court. who up to the time he was
called to the witness stand had been
busy for the preceding days of this
week in taking down in short hand
the mass of sordid testimony adduced
bv the State against Harrington.
Mr.. Ressland. who is also stenog-
rapher for the Common Council, tes-
titled that he had visited the Navarro
on several occasions after council
meetings and had remained there for
short periods. He had noticed
nothing out of the ordinary.
Testimony of visits to the restau-
rant at various times was given by
Siegfried Leschziner. 10S6 Broad

.SULzER AND AIDE
HORNET WARRIORS
SuIzer Asks Waspish Question
at One End of City, Hen
messy at Other.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Former Gov
ernor William Sulzer says that to-
night in his speeches on the East
Side he will PROFOUND another ques-
ton to Charles F. Murphy, leader OF
Tammany.
While Sulzer last night was full
minating at one end of the city
against Murphy, Mccall and Tam
many. and receiving an ovation
greater, perhaps. than any ever ac-
corded to any other person in the
East Side section, his friend, John
A. Hennessey, was telling voters at
the other end of the city, in Sulzer' S
Harlem River Park. that Edward E.
Mccall, Tammany nominee for may
or. had bought from Murphy, years
ago, his nomination for Supreme
Court justice.
Sulzer announces that he will pro-
pound one question each night until
election and ask Charles II. Murphy
to answer. He asked his first ques-
ton last night at four meetings in
his old district in the presence of
many thousands. 1t was this:
II ask Charles f. Murphy If it is
not true that / refused to accept
s25,000 during my campaign for the
governorship from Judge Samuel A..
Beardsley, the representative of the
late Anthony n. Brady?
"Mr, Murphy subsequently took
this money and, as far as ] am in
formed, he never accounted for it..
We tried to prove this during the
trial at Albany, but the Murphy
members of the court excluded it.
Why?"
The tumultuous East Siders Missed
and booed the name of Murphy and
shouted that SuIzer should go to the
Assembly, then back into the gov
ernorship. and finally TO Washington
as President of the United States.
Sulzer declared IN one of his
speeches that Charles II. Murphy is
worth $4,000, 600, and challenged him
to tell where he got it.
did he make it as dock commis-
sioner?" asked Sulzer.
Well, partly" shouted some In the
audience.
did he make it as leader of Tam
many Hall?" shouted Sulzer.
YES came the answer with a
whoop.
Murphy says he won't answer me
until | get through talking" added
the speaker. well, I won't get
through talking until the campaign
is over"
Perhaps the east side has never
seen anything that equalled the re-
ception to MIR. Sulzer last night.
Everywhere he went he was greeted
by tremendous crowds and every
where the enthusiasm for him was at
fever pitch.
