BANKRUPTCY LAID
TO 4SP|TE Work.
Adjudication of Contracting
Firm as Insolvent to Be
Fought by j. J. Hughes.

Declaring that the adjudication in
bankruptcy of the Joseph j. Hughes
Contracting Company is the result OF
spite work." Joseph j. Hughes is
preparing to make strenuous fight
against the "conspirators.'
A meeting was held in the Offices
of Wilfred c. Roszel, the receiver, to-
day, and already plans for the with
drawal of the bankruptcy petition
have been discussed and are well
under way.
1t is understood already that Pau
r. Lefferts, attorney for the petition
ing creditors and for Mr.. Roszel will
prepare a petition asking for the re-
moval of the receiver without costs
to either party. This action is to be
the direct result of conference held
today.
Samuel l. Kessler, counsel for Mr.
Hughes and for the company, today
declared that William H. Masterson
the deposed president of the COM
pany, was responsible for the bank
ruptcy adjudication.
They put him out of the company
Mr.. Kessler declared today, land he
is trying to get back at them by
having them adjudicated bankrupts
We went over the companies liabili-
ties today and found out that the
tangible assets of the company ex-
coed the liabilities by $1,000. Mr.. Mas
terson was present at the meeting
and was a silent observer to what
was going on" The reports circulated
Saturday to the effect that the COM
pany is insolvent or that in making
bids acted in collision with any other
contractors is ridiculous.
Is MaSterson q creditor of the
company" asked the Star reporter
of Attorney Kessler.
He was stakeholder in the con-
Germ, but in making the petition
waived his rights as stakeholder to
become a creditor, as I understand
Mr.. Kessler replied.
Mr.. Hughes's attorney then went
on to explain that the company had
only forty days in which to finish the
city paving contracts now under way
and would, therefore, be handicapped
by having the firm tied up in bank
ruptcy proceedings while proving SOL
vency. ---
Because of this fact Mr.. Hughes.
Attorney Kessler declares, is willing
to have q friendly trustee appointed
by the creditors to continue the BUSH
ness and finish the contracts now
under way. This has practically been
agreed upon.
The trustee will supply a suitable
bond and will be required to turn
into the company the proceeds of the
contracts. Mr.. Hughes will not con-
sent to the appointment of a trustee,
however, until the bankruptcy petit
ton has been withdrawn by proper
procedure.
There is $500 due the company
from the city of Elizabeth on con-
tracts completed there. This money
can be collected on demand and
would have been paid on Saturday
but for the adjudication.
The Hughes company was adju-
Dictated on Friday on a petition sub
mitted by Attorney Lefferts. The
petitioning creditor of record men
toned is the w. w. Ward & Co., of
New York. Attorney Kessler. how
ever, declares that Masterson Is back
of the petition. The petition declares
that there are only twelve creditors
when as a matter of fact Mr. Kess-
Ter says there are ~sixty-two creditors,
most of whose claims are under SIS.

Four Near Death from Eating
T0adstOOls as Mushrooms

Four persons are i'll today as re-
suit of a feast of toadstools eaten
In the belief that they were mush-
rooms. All four Will recover, 1t Is
believed by the physicians attending
them.
Anthony Ferdinello, Of liz Elm
street. was on the outskirts of New
ark Saturday afternoon and noticed
a number of mushrooms" as he
thought. and gathered some. He d.
vided the lot with Mrs. Joseph Fa-
tone, of III Elm street, when he
reached home. She prepared the
fungi. and with her husband and
her cousin. Joseph Migelis, uartook
of it.
All four were seized with convul-
sions early Sunday morning. Three
physicians were summoned. They
used antidotes to offset the effects
of the toadstools, for such they de-
clared them to be. The condition of
both Mr.. and Mrs. Fatone was re-
garded as serious until today, when
a marked improvement was shown In
both. No one but the four affected
ate any of the dangerous food. Pa
trolman George Chenoweth. made an
investigation. but found the toad
stools had come from out of the
city.

the horses of No. Engine Company.
The accident occurred at Court and
Broad streets. The accident hap
pened just as the engine was turning

Early Saturday night the fire de-
partment was called to a fire in the

while Governor. He has maintained
the attitude he first assumed, that,
II the Republican voters of the State
desired him to make the try, he was
willing, but that he would make no
primary campaign. Despite this fact,
however, there has been an almost
complete run OF the tide to him. The
campaign of former Congressman
Charles N. Fowler has been joke.
The voters have not been impressed
by his ponderosity. Few of them
have known him, and he has been
unable to get more than a handful
of them out to any of his meetings.
His dazzling bunch of tissues" have
not appealed to the average voter,
and there has been dismal in
difference to the cause of the former
Congressman. Senator Carleton b.
Pierce has not left his Crawford home
during the campaign, but has con-
fined his canvass to the issuance or
calm. dignified and pointed addresses
to the voters, bearing upon subjects
which he has regarded as of vital
Importance to their interests. This
method of campaigning appears to
have had scant result, because Sena-
tor Pierce, while one of the ablest
and most progressive of the Repub-
leans, has had no very extensive
acquaintance over the State.
Former Judge Robert Carey, of
Jersey City, who is down on the lists
as another of the Republican candi-
dates for Governor. seems to have
counted Hudson county as the only
place worth while for his campaign.
He has made some speeches there,
but has appeared nowhere else, and
his vote will probably be confined to
that county. The feeling is general
that he Is one of the men pushed
into the contest by the discredited
Kean interests to defeat Stokes.
There would be great glee in the
Kean family IL Stokes should fail Of
the nomination.
The Progressive campaign has been
the most picturesque and aggressive
of the lot. Tons of printed matter
have been issued by the Osborne
managers. He and his tutor, Record,
have lighted the sky with burning
had brass bands and fireworks and
all of the blare and tinkle of the
old kind of canvass; but they appear
not to have hit the people very deep
ly. Somehow there has been a little
too much of the blare and flare. The
radicalism of Record and his candi-
date has made some of the rabid
Socialists jealous. The glittering
stacks Of so-called issues, the blaz-
ing glimmer of the promises they
hold out have appeared too much like
the "spiels' of the side-show barker
to reach the average voter and the
chances for Colby's nomination have
been enhanced to that extent.
Colby himself has proceeded along
plain, common sense lines, appealing
to the reason of the voters. and show
Ing what may be expected If they
choose him as the candidate. The
fact that Colby has a record as
legislator and as leader of the inde-
pendent forces of the state at time
when those forces saw little chance
of success has stood him in good
stead, and there Is every reason to
believe that he will win hands down
at the primary polls.
Thus the November balloting will
be between three able, conscientious
and honest men. 1t will be up 10
the people of New Jersey to say what
kind of government they shall have
for the next three years.

take his annual vacation. Commits
sioner Bladder stated to a reporter
for the Evening Star that Captain
Ryan had expressed a desire several
weeks ago to take his vacation, but
that he had not heard anything fur
Their on the matter since the an
nouncement last Saturday by the
civil service commissioner that Cap
tain Long was the only one of the
five competing captains who success
fully passed the examination. He
added that If Captain Ryan ased to
be relieved of his duties some one

Long would be chosen.
Tuite for Captain.
In regard to filling the vacancy
caused by the promotion of Captain
Long, Mr. Baader said that he be-
lieved the civil service list as sub
mitted would be adhered to and in
such an event Lieutenant Tuite, who
headed the list, would be appointed
captain. He said that durino the
seven years he had been connected
with the board ii had always made
its appointments according to the
standing on the civil service list.
Rumor around the City Hall Is to
the effect that the first three lieuten-
ants on the list, Tuite, Cordane and
CORDIALLY would all be made captains
within the near future. With the Is ;
tablishment Of new precinct in the
Vailsburg section Lieutenant Cordana
would be elevated and It is said that
another captain will be made to be
in command OF Police Hearquarters
at night. and in this event Lieutenant
CORDIALLY would be promoted

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit. and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
