termined to make thorough inVesti-
cation of the marriage ceremony per-
formed by Justice of the Peace Rich
ard Hopwood in the case of Andrew
Rogers, of 19 Bowery street, and Miss
Isabel Russell, of rs North Grove
street, East Orange, on Tuesday last.
The city clerk has notified the two
principals involved to be at his office

quested Justice of the Peace Murano

HOSPITAL COMES
IN FOR CENSURE
Kearny Institution Refused to
Admit Auto Victim Until
Pay Was Assured.

Considerable criticism is being
heard in West Hudson today anent
the reported action of officials at the
Stumpf Memorial Hospital, Kearny.
in last night delaying treatment Of an
automobile victim until it was learned
who would pay the hospital. The
victim was John Mitchell, of Schuyler
avenue and Pine street, Arlington.
He is now in st. MichaePs Hospital,
this city, having been taken from the
Kearny institution.
Certain phases of the incident are
denied by the authorities of the hos
pital. They declare the victim was
not questioned prior to being ad-
mitted. This lis contradicted by eye
witnesses. Mitchell was wheeling a.
barrow along Davis avenue when he
was struck by machine owned by
John H. Boyer, of 1175 Broad street,
this city. The injured man was rush
ed to the hospital in another auto.
Boyer remained at the scene of the
accident awaiting the arrival of the
police.
When the injured man was carried
to the hospital door, the nurse who
responded, according to eyewitnesses,
declares she asked the autoist If he

negative reply, the woman Is said
to have ouizzed along the lines of
securing payment She finally said,
1t is charged, an order would have
to be produced from the overseer Of
the poor of the town.
One OF the men present advised
the nurse to admit the injured man,
remarking the question of remunera-
ton would be settled later. Mitchell
was then admitted. DR.. Howard
Dukes attended him. Accompanied
by Bicycle Policeman Cornelius Bar
rett, Mr.. Boyer later went to the
hospital. He paid So for the treat
ment afforded Mitchell. Boyer de-
clares he refused to pay 81 per day
for treatment for the injured man.
Mitchell was then taken to the
Kearny police station and from there
to the hospital In Newark 1t was
said there today that Mitchell Is
resting easily.
Chief of Police William Tolen, Of
Kearnv. said that the action of the
hospital authorities was most singu
lar. as he had always understood that
the hospital was charitable institu-
tion and was obliged to treat acci-
dent victims and other like cases.
At the hospital last night it was
stated that three classes of patients
are treated at the hospital. One is
the ward class, paying $S a week;
another is the private class, and the
third Is the class which is taken care
of for charity The latter class, the
management stated, is only admitted
through the police or by a special
order from the overseer of the poor.
The hospital authorities put Mitchelps
case in the latter class.

assessments met last night and ad-
iourned soon after because the mem

Both motions were presented by
Romeyn Berry, who. was an unsuc-
eessful candidate on the Progressive
ticket for the office of councilman

Berry first moved that an expert be
employed from the Bureau of Munic-
ipal Research, of New York, to pre-
pare a survey of the assessors office
and present to the committee a
scientific plan on which the commit
tee might proceed with its investi-
cation. For this purpose Mr.. Berry's
resolution provided that request be
made TO Common Council for an APP
propriation of $500. According to a
letter Mr.. Berry read from the Re-
search Bureau the charge would be
$50 per day and travelling expenses
for the expert Mr.. Berry however,
said he believed the committee could
get the information Tor 800 or less.

member explaining he wished ii to be

that the committee without the aid of

Following the suggestion of Com
missioner Charles p. Gillen, chairman
of the street committee of the Board
of Works the members Of that body
and of the. city engineering depart
ment yesterday afternoon inspected
the pavement on Bowery street, work
on which was stopped Thursday

q charge that he has failed to carry
out the orders of the engineers, Wal
ter Browe, the inspector in charge
of the work on Bowery street, has
been suspended by Mr. Gillen.
The stopping of the work followed
several complaints made to Mr.. Gill
len that the sand which was being
spread over the concrete as a cushion
was of inferior quality. Former AL
deruan Patrick H. Corish complained
especially about the condition Of the
pavement between Mott and licking
ton streets, declaring that the con
tractor was using a soft clay instead
of the sand prescribed.
The commissioners and engineers
made a careful inspection of this part
of the street and ordered the con-
tractor, Ralph San Giovanni, to rip
up the blocks and relay the pavement
at this point.
The pavement near oxford street
was also carefully Inspected, and Mr.
Gillen was of the opinion that the
concrete was not up to the standard
Several samples were cut out and
turned over to the engineers for anal
ys,s. In the meantime the contractor
will not be allowed to proceed with
the work except between Mott and
Lexington streets pending the analy-
sis.
The contract for the paving was re.
Gently awarded to the j. ] Hughes
Company which later went into bank
ruptcy proceedings. San Giobann

the Hughes kcompany to finish th'
work.
