ChiIdren's Guardians Ask
Judge to Defer Hearings

The New Jersey State Board of
Children's Guardians. in a circular
letter to all the judges in the State,
has appealed to them to defer hear
ings under the act to promote home
life for dependent children until the
agents of the board have had an OPP
portunity to catch up with their work
The board complains that there are
already too many cases to be attend
ed to. and at each hearing the con-
gestion is increased. The letter is
signed by Mrs. Caroline b. Alexander,
president of the board
In the letter the board states that
if the court hearings continue the
three agents in its employ will be &C.
cupied solely in investigating cases
preliminary to the hearings, and it
will be impossible for them to give
their attentions to those children who
have been committed to the care of
the board. OF the 1856 children COM
mitted during the period between July
/, 1913, and January 1, 1914, the board
has been able to investigate only
ninety. In many cases the courts, in
granting the pensions, have specified
that the board make immediate in
vestigation into the home conditions
of the children, an order with which
1t has been almost impossible to COM
ply.

Plan to Start Orange

thority are planning to open a cam

week The announcement by Mayor
Frank J. Murray that ne will not APP

this year is taken as a
further hint of an early effort to
wrest the administration from those
now In control.
With a council in which they have
only two members, the Republicans,
following a long lease of power in the
city, are naturally anxious to get in
the saddle again, the mayors office,
which is now held by a Republican,
being shorn of much power, as his
vetoes all may be overridden.

HAYWARD RESIGNS :
FROM THE POLICE
Recently Acquitted Of Serious
charge-Board Praises and
Hears Complaints.

AT a meeting of the Board of Police
Commissioners yesterday afternoon
Patrolman Leon A. Hayward, of the
Sixth precinct, rendered his resigna-
ton from the department, and 1t was
accepted without a dissenting voice.
The officer was recently acquitted
in the criminal courts of a serious
charge preferred by young womals
and was to have been placed on trial
before the commissioners yesterday
afternoon.
Additional testimony was taken on
the charge of brutality preferred
against Patrolman George x. Mess
ner, of the Third precinct, by John
Volonsky, q Waterman, employed by
the May Manton Pattern Company,
the alleged offense having been COM
mitted on Sunday, December %. Ac-
ton in the case was deferred until
Police Surgeon Clark could make a
further investigation of the mans
injuries.
Volonsky claims that Patrolman
Messner assaulted him while he was
inside of the factory building on the
date mentioned, and as a result of
the assault he sustained a fracture of
his jaw. He was removed to the City
Hospital, where he received treat
ment for two weeks and was dis
charged without diagnosis of having
suffered from a fracture of his jaw.
The officer denied that an alterca-
ton had occurred and commended that
the complainant had fallen through
a window into the engine pit. Sew
eraI witnesses testified that they had
seen Volonsky bleeding profusely
from his mouth. ears and nose, but
none could state that they had seen
the officer strike the man. Physicians
testified that the injuries sustained
by the victim could have been sus-
tanned by any direct blow, either with
a fist, stick, a kick or a fall to the
floor.
The names of the following police
men were ordered placed on the meri-
torious record for their work in the
capture of several criminals, Plain
clothesmen Peter Mcclure and
