GOVERNOR ALLOWS
RARR|GAN SUED
Continued from First Page.)

send me of your proposed bill of COM
plant, namely, for fees, costs, allow
anceS, percentages and other per-
quisites and emoluments,' collected
and received by the sheriff for the
use of the county, which, 1t is alleged,
he failed to report and pay to your
county collector.
you base your application for this
order upon section II, page 4841, COM
piled statues, being part of an act
passed in 1876, at which time the sher-
iff was entitled to receive for his own
use, all the fees of the office, SO that
the bond provided for in that act was
not intended to include liability of
the sheriffs sureties for the failure of
the sheriff to pay fees to the county.
The form of bond given by Sheriff
Harrigan is identical with the form
prescribed in the act of 1876. The act
placing sheriffs in first-class counties
upon a salary and directing that the
fees be paid to the county, is found in
the laws of 1905, page Is, and there is
nothing therein explicitly extending
the liability of the sureties beyond
what that liability was, under the act
of 1876. On the contrary, section of
the act of 1905 provides that the sher-
if shall be personally liable to the
county for the payment of fees re-
ceived by him.
At call your attention to chapter 10,
laws of 1901, entitled An act to pro-
vide for the prosecution of the bonds
of public officials" the first section of
which Is practically identical with
section IL, page 4S41, compiled stat
utes. The second section of this act
provides that all suits upon official
bonds shall be brought in the name
of the State, and it's fourth section
repeats all inconsistent acts. This law
may bar a suit in the name of your
board
'1f the application for my order
was presented by an individual l
would regard a claim three years old
as stale and suspicious, and l would
require proof as to its merits and
explanation as to why it
had been permitted TO rest so long
without action, but because it is
made by public body / shall as,
sumo 1t is made in good faith
while having doubts, first as to
the legal liability of the sheriff sure
ties, and second as to the merits of
the claim, I realize l may be wrong,
and that denial of your application
might bar you from maintaining suit
and attempting to prove your case,
andeI have, therefore, formally grant |
ed It. My action is, of course, no de-
of the questions involved |
but leaves the sureties to present all
the defenses they may be advised to
have to any action you may
bring"

Insurance People
Show Great Interest in
Fire Prevention Exhibit

As a result of the fire prevention
exhibition now being held in the City
Hall under the direction of the de-
partment of combustibles and fire
risks, il is probable that the Newark
Fire Insurance Society and the I'm
derwriters' Protective Association, of
Newark, win cooperate next year
with the fire board for the purpose of
holding much larger exhibit in a
store or public hall in the vicinity
of the -Four Corners"

Sommer & Sons, insurance brokers,
of Al Clinton street, visited the ex-
hibition yesterday. Late yesterday
afternoon the insurance society held
its monthly meeting.
Mr.. Sommer spoke of the exhibit
ton that was being held in the City
Hall and suggested that the society
and the underwriters organization
cooperate with The fire board for a
much larger exhibition next year.
The matter was heartily Endorsed.
A large number of insurance men,
all members of the society, visited
the exhibition today and were much
impressed by its completeness. All
agreed that much more benefit could
be derived from such an affair If 1t
were held in a place which was more
available to the general public.
Mr.. Sommer declared today II was
one of the most complete exhibits of
the kind he had ever seen. and said
1t should be an annual affair on a
much larger and more public scale.
He paid Captain Gasser very
pretty tribute for the part he took
In making the exhibit so successful.
He declared tho two insurance So
cieties would surely be in on the
exhibit next year The exhibit will
be continued until next Friday night.

Tho show is still attracting con-
siderable attention. Tho rooms where

the conductors are kept busy con-
tinually explaining the various ex-
hibits to the spectators.
This is particularly so OF the NOV
ing picture apparatus, showing how
motion picture machines explode
and cause dangerous fires. The In
spectors were kept busy during the
day with lectures on the rules for
preventing fires In the amusement
houses whore pictures ARE shown.
Tho precautions required by tho
bureau were also carefully ex-
planned.
The kitchen stoves, ns they should
be and as they should not be, are
attracting the attention OF the wom-
en- folks. The papers against the
wall, the clothes drying behind the
stove, ashes In wooden box, wrap
ping paper thrown behind the stove,
the pipe In a wooden partition with
no protection, and scores of other
details that should not be, always
impressed tho women who attend
the exhibit.
Particular attention is being paid
by the inspectors TO explain this
exhibit TO servants, janitors and
housekeepers. All tnke a manifest
interest In the explanations and ad-
nit they have known fires caused
by such neglect as is there depicted.

Bryan FnlfiIIs Prophecy of
Isaiah by Beating Old
Swords Into PlOughshares

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-"They
shall beat their swords into plough
shares"
Secretary of State Bryan had that
prophecy of Isaiah inscribed on pa
perweights made from the steel of
United States cavalry sabre blades
in the shape of ploughshares. These
paperweights he has presented to
the twenty eight ambassadors and
ministers of the countries which
have signed peace treaties with the
United States.
The sabres were condemned ones
that Mr.. Bryan obtained from the
war department. There was much
labor in beating the wrought steel
into its new form. The hilts of the
sabres were presented to the MEM
bers of the Senate foreign relations
committee.
All the sabres were more than
fifty years old. Most of them were
used in the civil war.

DECISION
IN MARKET CASE
Delayed Until Bradner Can Sub
init Brief on Examination
Question.
special to the Evening Star.


TRENTON, Oct. 1.-THE Civil Ser
vice Commission yesterday reserved
decision on the status Of the position
of market clerk in Newark, until
City Solicitor Frank E. Bradner can
submit a brief on the question of
when it would be feasible to conduct
an examination for the position. Mr..
Bradner appeared before the civil ser
vice board with City Counsel James
r. Nugeni. They held that the en-
cumbent Of the position is the head
of a department and therefore not
in the civil service classified lists
The opinion of the attorney-gen-
erals department, given to the COM
was to the effect that the
position was not a head of a depart
ment, but later suggested that the
position be placed in the exempt
class, Notwithstanding the fact that
1t had been classified by the commits
sion in the competitive service.
When the opinion was read, after
both Mr.. Nugent and Mr. Bradner
had left the office, Commissioner
Wright, with some heat, said that in
his judgment the office of the attor-
in its opinion was acting
ultra wires. we merely asked for a
of the act as to whether
the Office of market clerk was a head
of department" said Mr. Wright.
1.-THE attorney generals department
should confine it's opinions to the
legal construction of the law and not
upon the administration of our
specific duties under the act," re-
torted Commissioner Fordyce.
"Why?" queried the president,
Joseph S. Hoff. "He is merely con-
STRUNG the law"
Because" replied Colonel Fordyce,
This duty is only to construe the legal
of the law for this de-
partment and to advise us In this
respect only. AS. to the classification
OF position or positions, 1t Is the
duty of this board to pass upon that
He is intruding upon our preroga-
tives when he attempts to advise this
commission regarding the classical
ton of positions, which, in my judg-
ment, is wholly and entirely within
the jurisdiction and discretion of this
board"

forbids use of the public schools Tor
political societies. The denunciation

ERROR
FOUND IN TAX LEVY
CONTINUED from First Pase0

returns were received from the com
pany and the board, after a careful
examination of the company's state
ment decided to establish an official
assessment against the company of
81, 600, 900.
This was passed, but the change
was never made on the books of the
office. Counsel for the telephone COM
pany took the matter up when the
company was billed for $3,000,000.
This led to the discovery of the error.
The assessing of the two trust COM
panies, 1t is declared. was also caused
by a misunderstanding in the office.
The banks are assessed by the county
board under the 1914 bank tax act.
and the city gets its share of the tax
alton from the county.
