When the stone was in readiness
to be put in position at the south
west corner of the building, Exalted
Ruler Reed took a position on a
platform in front of the stone. He
conducted the customary ceremonies
as are held by Elks on such occa-
sions. The ceremonies, performed
before gathering of about fifty Elks
and spectators, were impressive. AS
the contractor had served notice
about noon for the laying of the
stone at 1880 o'clock, there was no
time to arrange for formal services.
District Deputy Pickersgill ex-
pressed qualification upon the
growth of the Benevolent and Pro
tective Order of Elks and upon the
action of erecting new home in this
city. He hailed the order as one in
a class by itself, not as one which
was as good or better than any other,
tbut as one with distinct individual
features.
The contents of the copper box
cemented in the cornerstone by Mr..
Reed included "a copy of the Elks'

WATER SUPPLIED
FROM STANDP|PE
ON POOR FARM

The residents of the northwestern
section of the city are now being
supplied with water from the newly
erected standpipe on the poor farm,
which was constructed especially for
their needs, according to the an
nouncement of Superintendent
Thomas Grieve, of the water depart
ment, this morning.
Though water has been flowing in
the big reservoir from the main in
Brace avenue since Sunday, the nor
NAL pressure has not been sufficient
to more than half fill the steel con-
tainer However, the tanks supply
so far is sufficient to give good pres
sure to the northwestern section and
furnish every hydrant with plenty
of the liquid.
Some time today George Hardi-
man, assistant superintendent of the
water department, will shut off the
main trunk lines from certain sec
tions of the city to force the filling
of the standpipe, which has capaci-
ty of 100000 gallons.
1t is planned to boost the water to
the standpipe at night when the
pressure is higher and the factories
are using a minimum of water In
the daytime the mains leading to the
northwestern section will then be
gated off, and that area of the city
supplied entirely by the standpipe.

MURDER CHARGE
IS MADE AFTER
WITNESS TALKS

Following the story told by the
principal witness against Frank Dol
inski, the charge against the latter
was changed from that of man
slaughter to first degree murder
and this morning the accusation
against Dolinski was that he 'felo-
niously and with malice afore-
thought murdered Anton Peleszak
by stabbing or cutting him in the
abdomen. This places the prisoner
in the shadow of the electric chair.
The last man from Perth Amboy
convicted of murder in the first de-
gree was Ilka Kompoyics, sixty-two
years old, who enticed ten year old
Mary Halliday to the stock grounds
of the Lehigh Valley and after
was electrocuted November 4, 1912.
Dolinski, who was represented at
the hearing by former Assistant
Prosecutor Joseph e. Stricken, was
held by Recorder Pickersgill with
out bail for the grand jury. He,
with John Sepym, the principal wit
ness, will be committed to the county
Jail today, where it will be within
the jurisdiction of Judge Daily to fix
bail for their appearance before the
grand jury. Assistant Prosecutor
John A. Coan represented the state
at the hearing, and County Detec-
tive Peltier was present.
At the outset of the hearing the
name of the alleged murderer was
corrected from Frank Gulinski, as it
was given yesterday, to Frank Dol
inski, which Mr.. Stricken declared
was his proper christian surname.
A formal plea of mot guilty. was
entered by the counsel for the pris-
oner before the hearing of witnesses.
Patrolman Muska, who saw the mur-
dered men before he died, was the
first of two witnesses put on by the
state. Muska told the story as pro-
duced in the NEWS Monday. Muska
said he brought Dolinski before the
dying man, and as Patrolman Kas-
prczak turned a fiashlight in Dolin-
skis face he, Muska asked the dying
man if Dolinski was the man that
cut him. He replied" said Musko
yes on (meaning yes he) as he
pointed to the prisoner"
On cross examination Mr.. Stricken
secured the Polish words used by
the officer in questioning the dying
man, and had them, with the other
testimony taken stenographically by
his secretary, Hyman Friedman.
Mr.. Stricken asked the officer if the
victim mentioned any names besides
that of Dolinski. Muska replied that
he had mentioned John Baloz and
Peter Krill, who were arrested, but
released. On cross examination, Mr..
Coan brought out that these names
we're mentioned by the dying man
before Dolinski was brought before
him. and before the victim pointed
Dolinski out as his assailant.
Detective Sergeant Huff was the
second witness and testified to the
death of Peleszak, whom he declared
that he had seen in the coffin. Then
the state rested, not willing to show
it's hand further to the defense.
Funeral services were held for
Anton Peleszak at st. John the Bap-
tist Greek church, in Broad street,
at 4 O'Clock yesterday afternoon and
burial was made in the Greek ceme-
terry

Petrograd, Oct. 14:-Fierce fight

center, it was said, had been heavily
reinforced and was making an un-
successful attempt to break through
the Russian lines. The Russian po-
sitions are described as advantageous
and there is no prospect of the as

fifteen forts.
There has been no word here pend
