Attorney Munroe, of
Anti-SaIoon League,
Writes a Denial of Story

In communication to the Evening
Star. G. Rowland Munroe, attorney
for the Anti-Saloon League of New
Jersey, denies the story published in
yesterdays Evening Star to the
effect that the Anti-Saloon League
had Endorsed the candidacy of Thomas
L. Raymond for mayor, and has writ
ten letter to Mr.. Raymond telling
him all about it,
The Anti-Saloon Leagues attorney
assures Mr.. Raymond that he. Raw
mond, never made any promises TO
the organization, nor had he, Munroe
ever told any one that the candidate
had made any promises to the league
Expressions of appreciation of Mr..
Raymonds education are made and
solicitude shown that what is termed
a political frame up might injure
him.
Mr.. Munroe admits, however. that
he had two interviews at the Anti
Saloon League offices with one Han
ley and adds that the latter evidently
carefully gathered up some stray bits
to dress up statement for publica-
ton to make it appear true
No minister was approached in Mr..
Raymond's behalf, Mr.. Munroe AYERS.
and he says he doesn't believe any
minister called any ones attention to
the workings of the league. He is not
q college chum of Raymond's, he
writes, but believes that the candi-
date must have attended good COL
lege, as he is such an honorable and
successful lawyer.
Mr.. Munroe goes further and SAYS
that Hanley was known to him as
political publicity agent and that
everything that was being done was
carefully concealed from him.
The leagues attorney doesn't recall
any reference to the Sunday-closing
question in either of two admitted in
terviews, although the object of the
league Is to enforce the Sunday-clos-
ing laws He does say, though, that
the league is engaged in campa gn
to elect local option friends in D ace

Read, of Camden. and score of
others. The Mr.. Lewis referred to in
The Star article, Mr.. Munroe says, is
working In Ocean, Monmouth and
Burlington counties to elect local OPP
ton candidates. and knows nothing of
Newark. He just happened to be in
Newark when Mr.. Hanley met him
and told the latter so. lHanley, Mr.
Munroe declares. came to him as a
friend and deceived him.

no mistake whatsoever In any article

A survey of the Newark fire depart

This survey, or review. will show
Why Newark is rated In class A by

reasons why the insurance rates on

This lowering of fire insurance rates
means saving in 80 much money to
owners of realty or personal property

carries a policy of insurance. be 1t for

Deny Responsibility.
The Democrats insist that the Re-
publicans started the anti-Catkolic
propaganda by encouraging the
Guardians of Liberty to send
throughout the State literature at
lacking Governor Glynn as a Catho-
lie. The Republicans said that the
religious issue would not have been
heard of if Governor Glynn had not
brought it up in his Ogdensburg
speech and IL his example had not
been followed by Dudley Field Ma
lone in his speeches upstate.
Frederick c. Tanner, chairman of
the Republican State Committee, put
himself on record when he issued a
Nenial that the Republican party had
had anything to do with the intro
duction of the religions issue.
Il can only repeat what | have al
ready said" said Mr.. Tanner, ''and
that Is that the Republican State
Committee .denounces as unfair and
improper any attempt to obtain
votes either for or against any can
dldate for office this year on relig-
ious grounds"
Oscar S. Straus. who was the Pro-
gressive nominee for Governor two
years ago, has written to Chauncey
j. Hamlin, Progressive nominee for
acknowledgements, In which he
makes a scathing rebuke of those
who are responsible for the introduce
ton of the religious issue.

Club last night. said:
"Regretting that | cannot accept

preparation for 1907 was only $4,000
more than in 1906 that is, $4,000 less
than the advance In salaries.
The law above referred to required
the automatic increase of salaries of
iremen as they advanced from the
lowest to the highest grade. 1t is a
matter not under the control of the
commissioners, and the constant adj
vance in the amount of money re-
CURED to pay salaries in the fire de-
partment is attributable to the oper-
alton of this law.
Taxpayers Demanded More Houses.
In O few cases, where promotions
were made to place the. commanding
officers force on a higher plane and
to meet criticisms of the National
Board of Fire Underwriters investi-
gators, salaries were advanced, but
in accordance with statutory limits.
Many of the advances in fire pro-
lection propositions had been urged
by citizens and taxpayers and Inn
provement associations in various
sections of the city. New buildings
have been erected and equipped with
apparatus and men and all the neces-
sary paraphernalia, and there are
more in prospective, for instance, in
lut 4NihtAt LSiith 1AiAA
tenth wards.
All these are in compliance with
the demands of the taxpayers In the
sections enumerated and are recog-
nized by the fire commissioners as
justified IN every way.
Newark must rely upon its own
resources in fire-fighting sense in
the event of conhagration such as
wrought havoc in Paterson, Balti-
more, Salem, Mass, and other big
cities that have felt the destructive
force of the fire fiend. The help that
might be sent from other places
would be of little benefit, as proper
connections with hydrants and APP
paratus arrangements are In many
cases different from ours.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2s.--Not in MANY
years has any feature of political
campaign in this State aroused such
widespread interest as the attempt TO

Republican leaders d'sclaim any re-

The injection of the RELIGIOUS issues
into the state campaign first occurred
during the primary contests for party
nominations and was directed solely
against Mr. Giynn. The authors OF 1t
made only vague charges in one or two
publications devoted to the promo
ton Of sectarian literature obviously
intended for CONSUMPTION In the rural
districts and calculated to inspire
prejudice against members of the
Catholic Church among persons of
other religions denominations.
Following the nomination OF Mr..
Giynn the crusade assumed LARGER

Democratic nominee for Governor.
Hundreds of thousands of copies of
these publications were circulated
among the voters In the rural dis

against Mr.. Glynn.

Fire Alarm Service Extension.
In 1912 the maintenance cost was
further increased $4,000 over 1911. due
manly to extensions in the fire alarm
telegraph. In 1913 1t cost SIP, 1896. ~.
or approximately $1,000 more than in
1912 to maintain the department In
that year five new motor companies
were established and put in commits
sion. The department then had
ninety more men than in 1906. and the
number of motor driven apparatus
had been raised to twelve.
In regard to the erection of new
buildings In the department as bear
ing upon the cost of maintenance, 1t
may be said that the cost of heating
and lighting these buildings, as
well as keeping them in repair. repre-
sents considerable figure. The build
ings are commodious, and the nature
of their construction requires a large
outlay of money to maintain them.
Salaries Fixed BY Law.
In December, 1906, the law revising
and increasing the salaries of the fire
department members became effective.
This was q referendum measure and
approved by the vote of the people of
the city of Newark. The result of
these changes were; Captains, from
81. 200 to $1,000; lieutenants. from 81, 15O
to 81 400; first grade firemen, from

men, from 5000 to $1,000; fourth grade
firemen, from $3.50 to $500.
Consequently in 1907 the payroll of
the department was $4,000 more than
