semblyman Joseph NJ. Branegan, of
Hudson. introduced at the morning
session of the House today bill pro-
viding for the dissolution of the
present board of managers of the
Home for Disabled Soldiers in
Kearny. The bill also provides that
a new board be appointed by the
governor.
At present the managers are ap-
pointed by the Supreme Court, and
1t is believed that the Soldiers Home
is the only institution in the State
whose directors are not subject to
appointment by the governor. The
present method of choosing them has
been in force since 1865.
1t is understood that Assemblyman
Branegan's bill has the approval of
Governor Wilson.
The present board of managers
consists of Peter F. Rogers, of Ar
lngton; former Congressman R.
Wayne Parker, of West Orange, and
DIR. Henry Alters, of Harrison. The
superintendent is General E. Burd
Grubb. Rogers was General Grubb's
predecessor as superintendent.

today is believed to have had its in
ception IN alleged activity of Rogers
in causing the discharge of Chief
Engineer Dawson, of the home. some

walk down Market street to the
-Four Corners" today.
He was Frank Horak, scarlet
fever patient, who escaped from the
Essex County Isolation Hospital at
Soho by daring leap from a sec
ond-stCry window.
He had borrowed five cents for
carfare and ridden into Newark on
a crowded Bloomfield trolley car.
Alighting in the centre of the city.
lie had wandered about the streets
until he came to Washington and
Market streets. There he had
stopped and begged for food, which
u sympathetic passerby gave him.
He then walked down to Broad
and Market streets. where a police
man took him into custody.
At the First precinct police station
he told Captain Ryan that he had
been held up and robbed by two men,
who had taken his clothing and sub
stituted the white hospital uniform.
Captain Ryan did not imagine he
had patient from the Isolation Hos
pital to deal with. When the hos
pital authorities informed him he tele-
phoned to the Board of Health and
asked for an inspector to be sent to
fumigate the station house.
Horak was taken back to the in
stitution. He told tale of many hard
ships. First of all he was committed
to the House of Detention for two
days for having played truant from
school for that period and was only
released on last Friday on his prom
ise to be good in the future. On
Sunday he was stricken. with scarlet
fever. and the family physician had
him committed TO the hospital.
He responded to the treatment rap
idly and today thought that he was
entirely cured and decided to leave.
Jumping from the window, clothed in
the white uniform of the institution,
he ran across vacant lots until he
reached the Erie railroad tracks and
walked down them until he reached
the Bloomfield avenue car line.

TERMINAL PLAN
TO Be PASSED ON
FIRST BY PUBLIC
Board Of Works Fixes
Feb. 8 for Hearings
on Project.
OFFICIAL SKEPTICAL OF
PUBLIC SERVICES INTENT
President McCarter Will, in
Speech, Make Clear His
company's Position.

The Board of Works this afternoon
held a conference on the improve
ments which the Public Service Cor
poratlon intends making in this city,
and which were outlined to the city
officials by President McCarter, of the
corporation, a week ago.
The members of the board City
Counsel Nugent and Chief Engineer
Sherrerd seemed to think that the
whole proposition should be put up
to the public and that the sentiment
of the citizens should be learned fully
before the city takes any decided
action on the proposed improvements.
To this end series of public hear
ings will be. held, at which Mp. Nc
Carter may go into the corporations
plans in more detail. The first of
these will be held at the Board of
Works room Thursday evening, Feb
ruary 6.
Mr.. Sherrerd was also requested to
take the plans of the corporation as
they stand at present and lay them
before the City Planning Commission.
ence that he was not certain that the
plans of the Public Service would re-
suit in a permanent end to traffic
congestion in the city. He said there
was no doubt but htat the improve
ments would be remedy for present
conditions, but said he feared lest
the result might be merely the diver
sion of the congestion Into some other
section of the city.
He suggested that the Public Serv-
ice be asked about the possibility of
connecting the lines of the Hudson
and Manhattan railroad with its pro-
posed Park place terminal under
ground.
There were many better ways of re-
lieving traffic congestion than those
suggested by Mr. McCarter, ne said,
but all of them would prove too ex-
pensive to the city.
He advised the city officials to go
very slowly before taking decisive
action on the Public Service plans,
and warned against the city making
any concessions it might regret at a
later time.
commissioner Solo hHN
great question in his mind was
whether the proposed improvements
would prove bigger boon for the
city or for the Public Service.
He asked his colleagues to ascer-
tain whether the real intention of the
company was not to secure the "hex-
inility" of its lines, which President
McCarter had spoken of rather than
to bring an end to traffic congestion
in the city.
Commissioner Gillen, speaking of
the proposed subway exit on pri-
vate property in Washington street,
said that he was opposed to the city
making any grants that might In
terfere with future plans for the
building of subways.
Legislation will shortly be enact
ed, City Counsel Nugent said, which
gill take care of this point.
