MOTHER-IN-LAW'S LOUD
CRY FOR JUSTICE HEARD

Claiming that the complaint
against her should be investigated
before the court recognized It, Mrs.
Antonio Domain, of "a Seventh ave-
nue., talked so loud and long today in
the Second Precinct Court that her
arrest was ordered. Judge Herr was
hearing the complaint made by Mrs.
Josephine Domain, of the same adj
dress, who asserted that her hus-
band ill-treated her and was assist
ed by his mother, Mrs. Antonio Do
mani The young wife told the court
that she had come to this country six
months ago from Italy. Since that
time, she claimed her husband and
mother-in-law have abused her con-
tinually until she could stand it no
longer. The husband. Gaetano Do
mani, was also In court.
Judge Herr had instructed the
Young woman to bring her case 10

tic Relations and seek support from
her husband through the Overseer OF
the Poor. He was about to dismiss
the matter when the older Mrs
Dormant started her tirHdN 7@airst

eral warnings that her opinions were
not valued by the court. and in fact
we're becoming obnoxious, the woman
continued to demand Justice" The
ma eistrate then decided to take a
complaint of assault and battery
against the mother-in law and her
son. They were held in $500 bail each
for the grand jury.

GlLLEN VOTES AGAINST
BROAD STREET PAVING

There were new developments in the
scheme to repave Broad street with
wood block in the Board of Works
yesterday afternoon, when Commits
sioner Charles p. Gillen voted in the
egative on the final award of the
contracts. The contracts, however,
We're awarded by vote of to 2,
President Patrick II. Ryan adhering
to his stand in opposition.
Mr.. Gillen explained that his change
of front was brought about by the
boards inability, according to the law
department, to refrain from awarding
the contract for the fourth section.
He declared that he had promised the
property owners in that section that
he would not vote for the requirement.
below Camp street.
1t is probable that the Mayor will
again veto the award, and 1t will need
four votes to override his objection
If Mr. Gillen adheres to his stand of
yesterday, there will not be sufficient
votes to carry on the work, and the
proceedings will have to be started
anew.

FINDS GEMS STOLEN FROM
FEST AND Lowry HOMES
Loot of Boy Thieves Found un-
der Girder by Detective.

Nearly 5000 worth of jewelry which
was stolen from the homes of Abra-
ham Feist and Milton Lowry. at 30
and 80 Hillside avenue, on July 2 last,
was unearthed yesterday under an
old iron girder in a vacant lot at 1872
Belmont avenue by Plainclothesman
Sebold, of the Sixth precinct. The
stolen goods had been secreted under
the girder since the night of the rob
berry Mr.. Lowry and Mr.. Feist, who
are at their summer homes in Asbury
Park, were notified of the find and
will appear at the Sixth precinct sta
tior today to identify the missing
articles.
The recovery of the jewelry by Sc
bold yesterday is the climax to one Of
the most clever pieces of detective
work in the department in some time
The day after the robbery was re-
ported at the Sixth precinct and
Plainclothesmen Sebold and Reilly
We're assigned to the case. Leo
Schmidt, the ring-leader of gang
of thieves, was placed under arrest at
his home at 1870 Belmont avenue,
When Sebold and Reilly were In
Lowy's cellar investigating they came
across several footprints in the dust.
The toe of the left foot was de-
formed. While walking in Belmont
avenue the next day they saw thu
same impressions in the dust along
the avenue. By following the foot
prints they came to the Schmidt
home. The lad who is only Is years
old, confessed that he and three other
youngsters had committed the rob-
berries.
Yesterday afternoon Sebold again
questioned Schmidt about the hiding
place of the jewelry. The lad told
the detective that the stuff was near
his home and told Sebold to go and
find it. Sebold looked all through the
house, but could find nothing. He
then went into the lot next to the
house and found the stuff under the
old girder

UNDERPAID Sl5,OOO,OOO'
FOR MAIL, R. R. CLAIM

NEW YORK. Aug. 1.-The rail
roads of the United States. acting
through the railway mail pay com
mittee, today made public state
ment to the effect that instead of
being overpaid By 100000. as was
claimed by former Postmaster-Gen-
oral Hitchcock. they are in fact
underpaid by SIS 100000. These are
the facts upon which that claim is
based:
In order If possible, to ascertain
the rroportionate cost of carrying
the mails in relation to other railway
passenger service, the postmaster
general, in November 1909 required
the report of most exhaustive data
by the railroads The result was
transmitted to Congress on August
Is, 1911, in II. r. Document No. los.
In that report the postmaster-gen-
eral said that the committee of the
department which had compiled the
data estimates that through a re-
adjustment of railway mail pay on
the basis Of cost, with per cent.
profit, saving to the government
could be made of about $4,000 200.
This estimate Of the costs to the
railways Of carrying the mails has
since been abandoned by the post
office department primarily because
the department did not, in it's first
estimates, make allowance for any
return on that part of the railway
plant used in the service. If to the
post office departments own figures
there is added proper interest ON the
CT IL
made as to the percentage of the rail-
way plant used In the postal service,
the following revised result is OBJ
tanned as to the minimum cost.
l. Interest at per cent. on 1.9o
per cent. the share of the railway
plant used for postal service) of the
net capital investment of all the rail-
ways in the United States is SIC, $50,
900.
2. The space actually used for mail
and incidental thereto. but eliminated
from the departments calculations,
So 800, 600
3. Difference between approved
methods and the departments meth
DDS of separating freight and pas
senger expenses, s5,0O0,000.
Total, s30.9s0,0 900,
II this sum is added to the net
amount estimated in Document los as
the cost of carrying the mails, 1t will
yield about $15.000,000 more than the
sum now paid for railway mail serv-
ice.
The railroads maintain, therefore,
that the most exhaustive inquiry ever
made of this subject shows that a
fair payment to the railroads for the
actual cost of the service would re-
suit In the companies receiving at
least s15,000,000 more than they are
now paid.

URGES ECONOMY
IN WORKS BOARD
Commissioner Kraemer Hints
at Extravagance-Fights
Additional Appointments.

Because Of a threatened shortage in
the funds of the street department
the Board of Works yesterday held
up for another week the appointment
of two foremen to fill vacancies.
Opposition to the appointment of
the men, which was recommended by
Commissioner Charles P. Gillen as
chairman of the committee, was
made by Commissioner Charles F.
Kraemer, who contended that the
strictest economy must be practise't
If the appropriation is to last out the
year
He intimated that the department
up to the present had not been con-
Quoted economically and declared
that il the present chairman (Mr.
Gillen) did not feel competent for the
task he would take hold of the reins
and guarantee to come out at the end
of the year without a deficit
His statements brought the retort
from Mr.. Gillen that he is perfectly
willing to resign in his favor
The men suggested for appoint
ment, Bentley Hurt and Thomas
Scanlon, were dropped from the rolls
on the first of the year. Their sal
aries We're $1,000 a year each.
Just prior to the Gillen incident DIR.
Kraemer had opposed a request of
Chief Engineer Sherrerd for addi-
tional help in his department. His
reason was a lack of funds.
Mr. Sherrerd wants two additional
men assigned to his department be-
cause of vacancies which he declared
now existed. In his request he was
upheld by Commissioner Arthur X.
Denman, who held that If the engi-
neer is to be held responsible Tor
work done he ought to have a suf-
ficient force with which to carry
II on.
The suggestion of Mr.. Gillen a few
minutes later that the city put into
operation its asphalt repair plant TT
once precipitated another argument,
Charges that the city is at present
being film TANNED" under the
present system of having the repairs
done by contract were made by Mr.
Gillen. He said that much larger
patches than were needed were gen
orally put in.
On the ground that it would be too
expensive to open the plant at the
present time Dr. Kraemer objected
Mr.. Sherrerd reported that the
plant could be put into operation at
once, but could run only ten months.
He stated that 1t would be good pol
icy TO carry out this program be-
cause of the fact that in two months
time it will be necessary to lay off
half the force. He recommended that
the present system ef having the re-
pairs made by contract be carried
out and that the plant be put into
actual operation on October l.
To this plan Mr.. Gillen alone voted
in the negative.

INSPECTOR GETS
MAXIMUM SALARY RAISE

In spite of pinched finances the
Board of Health voted a salary raise
at last nights meeting. the only one
that will be granted this year, and
it will be paid only for the month
August. William H. Lyle, a sanitary
inspector, who will have served the
board twenty mine years on August 2,
is to get the raise. He will draw an
extra s25 next month, the raise being
from 81, 200 year to the civil service
limit of 81 500 year
Lyle is an old soldier who has want
ed to retire for long time, but the
board members thought so we'll of his
work that they prevailed upon him to
continue in his Job. The object of the
raise is to help him to a larger pen
sion from the State. He can retire
at any time on 80 per cent of his
salary, the pension to be paid by the
State. The raise will entitle him to
$3.50 instead of $500 year pension.
