Plan to Place Control of
County Parks in Hands
of Board OF FreehOlders

A bill providing for the taking of
the control of the Essex county parks
from the Park Commission will be
framed by the legislative committee
of the Northwestern Improvement
Association. The committee was au-
thorized to prepare such bill at a
meeting of the society in Burke Me-
mortal Hall, 554 North Fifth street.
The purpose of the association in
directing the bill drawn up is to at
tempt to save the salaries now paid
to the park officials by advocating
the plating of the park system I'M
der the control of the Board of Free
holders.
The school committee of the as
ISOLATION was authorized to take up
with the Board of Education the mat
ter of a charge of $12 assessed against
the organization for rent for a school
hall for holding public entertain
ment. AS the affair was a charitable
one, the committee will ask a return
of the money, which it is proposed to
give to charity.
It was also decided to take up the
matter of garbage collections with
the Board of Works, 1t being the com
plant of many citizens of that sec
ton that the collections are not made
regularly and that part of the city is
being sighted by the city authorities
in their attentions. The Board of Edu-
cation will be asked to buy more land
for the Abingdon Avenue School
grounds.
Freebooter Malta was present and
addressed the meeting on the plan
for centralizipg the county institu-
lions in the vicinity of Caldwell. For
mer AssembIyman Robert e. Mitchell
presided.

SLAYER FIRES ON
EM|SSAR|ES OF
SHER|FF'S POSSE
BeIeaguered Farmer Sends Bull
let as Reply to Friends
UndeIivered Message.

MAYvILLE. N. Y. Jan. 1.-THE
fifth day of the siege of Edward
Beardsley In his farmhouse, near
Summerdale, was ushered in by rapid
firing from the Beardsley stronghold.
Timothy Van else and William Wal
ker, friends Of Beardsley, who have
acted as "go-betweens" In the parleys
between Sheriff Anderson and the be-
leaguered farmer, approached the
house this morning, hands above their
heads. As they entered the yard they
were halted by the whizzing of bullets
sent over their heads from the attic
window, Beardsley's lookout.
Get out of here and stay out. You
are trying to trap me. You can't
come here any MORE" shouted Boards
ley as Van else and Walker ran down
the hill toward the sheriff's camp.
The emissaries had gone to tell
Beardsley that the police authorities
of Titusville, Pa, would not allow his
brother, James Beardsley, to take the
children into that State, because they
might become a public charge.
With the repulse of Van else and
Walker all immediate hope of a
peaceful solution of the problem
facing the sheriff and his posse has
been abandoned.
Sheriff Anderson has stopped all
traffic on the highway passing the
Beardsley farm, and no one Is allowed
to approach within a mile of the
place.

PATERSON. Jan. 17.-Mr. Geyer,
one of the most learned men IN the

convicted in October, 1906, of en-
bezzling $500 from Mrs. Barbara
Gehring, a client, who was the de-
PENDANT in a divorce action instituted
against her by her husband, Emil
Gehring, a wealthy silk dyer of Pat
erson.
1t was brought out by former Prose-
cutor Eugene Emley, of Passaic
county, during the trial, that Emil
Gehring had deposited with Geyer a
certain sum of money, as alimony,
which was to be turned over to Mrs.
Gehring. This money, it was brought
out, was $500 short when Mrs. Gehr-
ing eventually received it.
A sentence of two months in the
county Jail and fine of $500 was
imposed upon Geyer by Judge Fran
cis Scott, of the Court of Quarter
Sessions. The time was served and
later Judge Scott reduced the fine to
$3.50 on condition that Geyer return
the alleged stolen money.
Later, at the request of the Su-
preme Court, the present prosecutor,
Michael Dunn, presented the facts in
the case to the court, with the dis
barment order as a result.

BANK CAFE MEMS
CONVICTION UPHELD
Especial to the Newark start


TRENTON, Jan. 1.-THE Supreme
Court today affirmed the conviction
of Henry Schlosser and John Seibert,
of Newark, for maintaining dis
orderly house. The men were con-
victed in the Essex Quarter Sessions.
Numerous objections were found and
assigned as errors by counsel for the
convicted men. Justice Kalisch, who
wrote the Supreme Court opinion
swept all ground of appeal aside.
Schlosser and Seibert were the pro-
prietors of the Bank Cafe, rs Bank
street, and were indicted by the De-
cember, 1912, grand jury on a charge
Of maintaining disorderly house in
connection with the cafe.
The two men were tried in Quarter
Sessions Court before Judge Harry V.
Osborne on March II, 1913, and were
found guilty. The evidence against
them was furnished by Rev. Edwin
l. Stearn, at that time superintendent
Of the Anti-Salocn League, and other
members of the organization who had
paid many visits to the cafe. At the
trial the men were defended by Frank
M. McDermit.
On April II, 1918, Judge Osborne
imposed sentence on the two men,
each receiving a six months term in
the county penitentiary. In addition,
Schlosser was ordered to pay a fine
of $500 and Seibert one of $3.50.
On the day of sentence notice was
given by former Assistant Prosecutor
Fred r. Lehlbach that the case would
be appealed to the Supreme Court
and the two men were released on
bail to await action on the appeal.
The appeal was argued at the Sep
TENDER, 1913, term of the Supreme
Court and yesterday the opinion was
handed down.

100000 MARKET
BONDS REJECTED
BY SINKING FUND
Questioned Legality of Securi.
ties-lssue Disposed of at
Private Sale.

That the issue Of s700. 900 bonds for
the new city market, which was
turned down by Kean, Taylor q Co..
Of New York, on advice OF their legal
advisers, Delafeld, Hawkins q Long
! fellow, had later been rejected by the
Sinking Fund Commission of the city,
was revealed today.
Both John R. Hardin and Frederick
Frelinghuysen, according to CITY
Comptroller Tyler Parmly, refused
the bonds because OF the doubt which
had been thrown on them by the law
firm representing Kean, Taylor & Co.,
and despite the opinion Of the city
law department.
The firm OF Delaheld, Hawkins &
Longfellow advised the Kean-Taylor
people that the legislative act under
| which provision for the sale of the
bonds was made might be construed
as class legislation. The Kean- Taylor
concern were the lowest of ten bid
ders.
In the face OF the refusal of the
City Sinking Fund Commission to
take the bonds, Comptroller Parm1y
said today the only expedient method
left open for the city was to give the
bonds to Adams & Co., OF Boston, at
lower premium than had been Of
fered originally by Kean, Taylor &
Co. The Boston firm had come to
him, Mr.. Parmly said. and offered
to take the bonds II they were turned
down by Kean, Taylor & Co.
Representatives of Adams & Co.
told him personally that they were
willing to take the advice of the city
law department in the matter despite
the contrary opinion of Delaf1eld.
Hawkins & Longfellow. The city law
departments stand in the matter was
further strengthened by an opinion
rendered by former Judge John A.
Dillon, OF New York, OF the law firm
of Dillon, Thompson & Clay. uphold
ing its opinion.
When this proposition of the Bos-
ton concern was submitted to him
Mr.. Parmly declared he sought the
advice of the city law department
as to whether he should offer the
bonds to any of the other concerns
who had bid originally with Kean,
Taylor & Co, or give them to Adams
& Co. It was believed that the other
bidders would be influenced by the
opinion of Delaaeld, Hawkins and
Longfellow, who represent the ma
jority of the other concerns who bid
on the issue.
Therefore, for the purpose Of main
tanning. the city's financial credit and
so that doubt might not be cast on
future sale of bonds by the city, the
contract was given to Adams & Co,
at difference of s24.500. That the
resolution awarding them the con-
tract had been railroaded through
the Common Council at It's meeting
January Z, was stoutly denied by both
Mr.. Parmly and City Counsel James |
r. Nugent.
The resolution came officially be- |
fore the council in the form of a
letter from Mr.. Parmly, was read !
by City Clerk James F. Connolly and |
was put to an aye and nay vote of |
the council Not a single vote was
recorded in the negative.

ABANDON HOPEFOR
SUBMARINE CREW
AT Still Lies in Mud, Despite
All Attempts to GrappIe
Her.

PLYMOUTH. Jan. 17.-Grappling
for the British submarine AT, which
lies LOG feet under the sea in White
stand bay, with eleven men impris-
oned in her, went on today but fran
tic efforts of the rescuers were unable
even to locate the little craft.
All hope that the two officers and
nine men will be found alive has been
abandoned. 1t is calculated that men
imprisoned In a submarine of the
ATS type, which is Anticipated, cannot
live more than twelve hours. The
AT has been lost since noon yesterday.
Graphing operations continued yes
terday until after nightfall. and 1t
had become too dark to work. They
were resumed at daybreak today. A
report that divers had found the yes
sci and communicated with those
within proved false.
The Al dove before noon yesterday.
After a time oily bubbles were noticed
on the surface of the sea, which was
calm, and 1t was remembered that the
submarine had been down d long
time for one OF her type. She was to
have been removed from the effective
list this year.

INCOME TAX lob.
LIKELY To co TO
BELLEWLLE MAN
II. w. Underwood May Get Pc.
siti0n Which Princeton Man
Was Due to Fill.

And now there is more of it coming
northward from Washington about
federal appointments, and some of
the information is of special interest
to Essex county. County Counsel
Thomas G. Haight, of Hudson, is to
succeed to the Federal Court judge
ship vacancy caused by the death of
Joseph Cross. That didn't cause
much of a commotion, as the Eve
ming Star had predicted that such an
event was on the cards.
But another proposition that the
Star had told of seems to have hit
the same groove. 1t was said, in
connection with the appointments of
deputies or collectors under the in
come tax arrangement, that, If Paul
Meyer, a former Princeton student,
could be gotten out of the way, the
selection of an inspector for income
tax work would mean the naming Of
an Essex county man.
Meyer had been picked for the job
without United States Senators
Hughes and MARITIME or any New
Jersey Congressman having been con-
suited. Hence came a protest. Sec
rotary of the Treasury McAdoo didn't
take kindly to Meyer being saddled
on his department and chargeable
to the general account, so foisted him
upon New Jersey. 1t was even re-
ported that President Wilson was in
terested in having Meyer taken care
off,
Now, the story has it, Meyer must
step down and out and the office Of
inspector is to go to Henry w. I'm
derwood, of Belleville, this county.
/, Mr.. Underwood resides at go Stew
ems street, Belleville, is exalted ruler
of the Belleville Lodge of Elks and
has just been appointed as auditor of
accounts of the town. He is about
fifty years of age, known as Demo
crat and Is a member of the Wilson
League of Essex County.
Here comes another rub: The Will
son League had Endorsed two men
for appointment under the income
tax arrangement. One was John A.
Kelly, the other Martin Connolly. In
derwood was not backed by the
league.
It is even given out that when a
third name was offered for indorse-
ment the league declined to entertain
1t, declaring that 1t would stand with
the two originally recommended.
Coming down to the latest devel-
opment, 1t is whispered that Naval
Officer H, Otto Wittpenn was waited
upon by personal friend, who is also
personal friend of Underwood's,
with the result that the latter's name
was added to the list of those in
dorsed. And whereat both wroth and
wrath have taken possession of the
thought cells of divers Wilson
Leaguers, who declare 1.-THE end Ia

Utility Board Urges Mileage
Collection Changes on
LackaWanna Railroad

After hearing the complaint OF
Oakley Dlckerson, a travelling sales
man, of 211 North Sixth street, yes
terday afternoon, the Board of Pub
lie Utility Commissioners recon-
mended to the Lackawanna Railroad
officials that certain changes be made
in their method of collecting mileage.
Dickerson's complaints were about
collections to tickets between Hopat-
cong and Blairstown and between
Hopatcong and Newton. In riding
from Hopatcong to Blairstown, a
distance of nineteen miles, Dickerson
said mileage for twenty-five miles
was taken up. The reason advanced
by the railroad was that contained
on the cover of the mileage book
that four miles would be charged for
every three where the passenger
rides over the "cnt-off.''
The board recommended that the
minimum fare be discontinued where
a passenger Is making a continuous
trip. The company officials agreed to
do this. The other complaints would
be given consideration President
Donges announced.
