the United States and more than 1870. 900

period
Tho figures as to the number killed and

the railroads are more deadly than war
More than 100000 persons have been
killed on American railroads during the
last twenty-five years and more than
1000 600 injured. Figure that out and see
what r. means to families left dependent

THE ravages Of war pale into lnsigntf-

The causes OF death and injury are
legion. They include derallmeuts. col

Problem of Idle Men Is
Discussed by Leaders
of Charity Organizations

The problem of idle men with fami-
lies to support was discussed at a
joint meeting of representatives from
the Bureau of Associated Charities
and from the ]. Clement French In
dustrial Home at a meeting held in
the offices of the Downtown Club
yesterday.
Submitting a report stating that
1900 married men with dependent
families are out work, Arthur w. Nc
Dougall. superintendent of the
bureau, urged that immediate action
be taken. Rev. John Mcdowell, pres
ident of the board of managers of
the French home, advocated plans for
the welfare, not only of the married,
but also of the single men.
Edward e. Rhodes suggested that
the bureau take over the administra-
ton of the French home, declaring
that greater efficiency would result.
The property of the home is valued
at $4,000. About 200 men are cared
for nightly. The representatives de-
clared that the matter is a city prob
lem and should be given support by
the general public. An appeal will
be made to the people of Newark, not
only to buy wood from the home, but
also to support it with contributions

County Detective Alfred ]. Hargan
made a trip to New York yesterday,
and it was at first assumed he had
gone to make an arrest He came
back empty handed, however. 1t is
understood he went to New York to
confer with some of the indicted men
and to get their assurance they would
be present for arraignmenr.
Had the men in New York city and
other places, including Baltimore and
points in this State, been placed un-
der arrest at the points they are now
located it would have been necessary
to extradite them, thus causing a
long delay in the pleading to indict-
ments and the arranging for dates of
trial. For this purpose the men were
simply notified they had been indict-
ed and told to appear in court volun-
tarily.
The first of the trials in connection
with the Roseville Trust Company's
affairs will be taken up on either
March 16 or March %. Two reasons
make it practically impossible to take
them up before that time. One Is that
Chief Justice Gummere, who will pre-
side at the trials, will be engaged in
the Court of Errors and Appeals until
the middle of March, while the Sec
ond is that after the men are ar
raigned tomorrow their counsel will
require at least six weeks time to
prepare for trial.

Evidence Taken in Suit
to Have Broad st. Property
Sale Declared Fraudulent

Suit was begun before vive-C Chan
cellor Stevens in the Chancery Cham
bers today in the action brought by
Frederick Schfl & Co., and others
as compliments, against Clar-
ence D. Sire, of Patchogue. l.. I, The
suit Is brought to have set aside an
alleged fraudulent conveyance of
property located at 500 Broad street.
1t is the contention of the COM
plainants that Sire, a bankrupt
and a former owner of the
property, conveyed the proper
ty to dummies In order to
avoid the payment of certain tudg-
ments against the property, which
included several mechanics liens.
AT present Charles Fisher, of New
York, holds a deed on the property.
He bought the property at sheriff's
sale for $500, assuming a $4,000 mort
gage and other membranes. Pre-
vious to the time the property came
into possession of Fisher, 1t is al
legged it had been transferred to Adele
Plinus, q domestic in the employ of
Sire. Fisher also worked for Sire.
Henry H. Runyon, a Jersey City
lawyer, testified today to acting as an
agent for Mr. Sire and In that capac-
ity collecting the rents of the build
ing in question for a considerable
space of time after the transferral of
the property. Fisher, the owner, also
testified as to the part he took in the
transaction.

filed by Hugh Gordon Miller, trustee
