OSBORNE may FACE
CRIMINAL ACTION
BeIIeviIIe Officials Discuss Al
legged Shortage Behind
Closed Doors.

Criminal proceedings may be begun
against former Tax Collector A. H.
osborne. of Belleville. who is alleged
to be short $4,000 in his accounts
with the town. The Town Council
had an executive session last night at
the home of Town Attorney John
De Graw. but the details were kept
secret.
Mr.. De Graw said today that he did
not feel privileged to discuss the pro-
ceedings at last nights session but
he admitted that criminal action was
the principal topic Mr.. De Graw
intimated that the original intention
was merely to collect the indebted
ness to the town, but he did not
think the defendant was treating the
town in a fair way.
Mr. De Graw placed the. whole case
before Prosecutor Louis M. Hood.
Councillmeh E. o. Cyphers and
George r. Daniels were not present
at the meeting. 1t is expected that
further disposition of the case will
be made at the meeting of the Town
Council tomorrow night.
Under the impression that final dis
position of the case would be made
last Saturday night, Town Attorney
John De Graw so reported at the last
meeting of the council. A eommuni-
cation from former Judge Alfred F.
Skinner, of this city, counsel for Mr..
Osborne, received yesterday by Mr..
De Graw, dispelled this idea by stat
ing. that they were unable to meet the
demands of the Council.
Having ascertained that Mr.. Os-
borne had equity amounting to $4,000,
Mr. De Graw proposed that this
amount be turned over to the town
pending a discrimination of the books
by Mr.. Osbornes representatives
Later investigation proved, however,
that although the property in ques-
tion had been transferred to Arthur
e. Sanford, one of. Mr.. Osborne's
no record Of the transae-
ton had been made until February,
the transfer was made last
August, when suit was first preached.
1t was rumored today that the town
attorney had refrained from taking
action against Mr. Osborne's bonds
men only because they could not find
all of the bonds furnished by the
sureties. Councilman Frank A. Cadiz. |
chairman of the auditing committee,
when asked about this phase OF the
case. said he did not know of any |
bonds that could not be located.

NJ. {. PASTORS TO
Be TRANSFERRED
Many Changes Likely at An
nuaI Conference to Be
Held Here.

The program for the Newark An
nual Methodist Episcopal conference,
to be held in the Halsey Street
Church, this city, from March 10 To
"a, has been completed Aside
from the interest that will be taken
in the routine work there will be con-
siderable apprehension regarding the
probable pastoral changes to be made
in the four conference districts.
In this city it is understood that
the Rev. Frederick G. Mooney, who
has served for FIVE years as pastor
of the Union Street Church, will ask
to be transferred to a new field,
despite the wishes of his flock. Last
year DR.. Mooney desired to make the
change. but the congregation urged
him to return. The Rev. Warren L.
Hoagland, of Nutley, Is also slated
to leave that charge, and the Rev.
S. X. Doolittle, of this city, will re-
tire from active service. Other
elergymen to be retired will include
the Rev. p. G. Blight of the Slmp-
son Church, Paterson, and the Rev.
Wesley Martin, of Butler.
In the Elizabeth district, the Rev.
DR.. A. w. Hayes, of the First Church,
Westfield. and the Rev. Herbert
Rhinesmith, of the First Church.
Crawford. will be named to assume
new pastorates.
AS the term of the Rev. DR.. Louis
C. Muller. superintendent of the Pat
erson district, expires this term. 1t is
rumored that the Rev. DR.. Jacob A..
Cole, of Passaic. will be named to
succeed him. Both the Newark ana
Jersey City districts are destined to
receive somewhat of shakeup.

SODIUM AND WATER
PLAY HAVOC ON SHIP
When They United Crew
Thought Devil Was Loose.

LONDON, Feb. S.-The story of
an amazing voyage was told in
Kings Bench in an action for dam
ages against the Service Maritime de
Treport for the loss of a quantity of
mineral waters.
According to the evidence, the
steamship Hardy left Treport with A
large cargo of mineral waters COIL
signed to the plaintiffs, Messrs. In
grain & Royal, of London. The ves-
sci carried also two tons of metallic
sodium.
The sodium broke away from its
lashings, and water. getting into one
case, set it afire.
The captain, not being aware of
the nature of the sodium, played the
hose on it, with the result that all
the other cases caught fire and there
was a series of explosions.
Next the captain ordered the whole
lot heaved into the sea. This was
done, but to the surprise OF himself
and his crew several of the cases
jumped back again aboard the ship,
which caught fire. There was an OK
plosion which caused her to break
amidship and sink. The mate was
drowned and the captain and crew
received injuries.
The Judge remarked, when the
water got in you had the devil among
the tailors at once"
Judgment was entered for the
plaintiffs for $3.50, with costs.

session Of the Central Presbyterian
Church. of this city. to officiate as
assistant to the pastor, the Rev. Or.
George Walton Kins, viii deliver the
Boys Day sermon at the Central
Church tomorrow evening. His topic
will be "Daniel at School" over
eighty boys conferred with Mr..

In making the service an encouraging
success.
The new assistant, who has been a
student at the Newark Academy. Is a
man of broad attachments, having
made a tour of the foreign mission
fields and of the Holy Land and
Egypt, following his graduation from
the Lawrenceville. N. J., school in
1899; Princeton University in 1908, and
from the Auburn Theological Semi
nary, at Auburn, y. Y, In 1900.
Later, in 1907, Mr.. Young took up
post graduate work at the Auburn
Seminary, receiving at the close OF
the year the degree Of bachelor OF
divinity.
He also spent some time studying
theology in the United Free Church
College of Glasgow. Scotland.

FIRST at Binghamton. n. Y, from 1907
to 1911, and during a part Of 1912 was
an assistant pastor Of the Preshy-
terrain Church at Newburgh. N. Y.
BY a special provision, If Mr.. Young
decides to become assistant to DR..
King after one months trial to see
IL the place suits him, his salary will
be provided by individuals. and will
be paid independent of the church,
as the congregation would be unable
to assume the increased outlay at
this time.
His duties will cover the active
parochlal work, such as making pas
toral calls, working among the young
people and boys and girls. and pre-
siding at the midweek religious and
social sessions. He will also lecture
from time to time on the Holy Land
and mission field topics.

COLD AIR PLANT
FOR CONGRESS
Refrigerated Breeze VIII Be
Pumped Into Legislative Halls
During Heated Term.

WASHINGTON, Feb. s.-"Refrig-
Grated" lawmalxins viii be the pro-
gram of the first session of the Sixty
third Congress, to be called by Presi-
dent Wilson some time IN March, and
which it is expected will extend
pretty nearly to September !. June
and July are two of the hottest
months In the year ordinarily in
Washington, and plans are now COM
plete for keeping Congress cool just
as long as It seems fl to remain on
the job here.
Refrigerated air will be pumped
into both House and Senate chambers
in such quantities and in such a
manner as to keep the temperature
down to 10 or below, even If the
mercury scars to los or above outside
on the heated pavements of Pennsyl-
vania avenue.
A oold-air plant, operated on the
latest scientific principle, is now
being installed in the Capitol at the
cost of $4,000. The problem of OBJ
tanning satisfactory method Of cool
ing the Capitol has been somewhat
troublesome, because it is easier to
raise the temperature In the two
chambers fifty degrees than It is to
lower 1t ten degrees.
The cold air must not only be man
ufactured. but a satisfactory manner
of distributing 1t and holding 1t In
the chambers instead of pumping ii
outdoors had to be discovered. This
has been solved, it is said, and there
will be no difficulty about keeping q
reasonable temperature at all times
and under all conditions.
1t will probably be necessary to
carry out the refrigerating scheme
to adopt a rule in very warm weather
whereby all the windows and doors
in both Senate and House chambers
shall be kept closed reasonable por-
ton of the time for the reason that
the cold air will have to be kept in
if the statesmen are to be afforded
any relief from sweltering tempera-
lures.
The air cooling system will be
merely an improvement on the splen-
did ventilation system now in OPP
Grafton in the Capitol. Under the big
building is network of tunnels, one
of which serves as source of sup
ply of fresh air. This tunnel leads to
two other tunnels of twelve feet in
diameter each, which run several
hundred feet out into the Capitol
grounds and there take in fresh air.
Electric fans suck the air inward and
it is distributed to all parts of the
buildings.
