Of the publications of the government
printing office, for to each congressman
is allotted a quota of documents. and in
many instances free copies can be OBJ

times congressmen's quotas are exhausted.
and hence, for the convenience of the pub

George White twenty years old of
Centre street, Nutley, who was to be
married within ten days. is prisoner
in the county Jail charged with pass
ing a forged check amounting to
$379S3. He admitted his guilt when
arraigned before Recorder James M.
Post and was held in default of s2,-

The check that figures as evidence
bore as the maker the name of
Thomas j. O'Neil, president of the
Bank of Nutley, and 1t was made
out to the name of Hamilton *.
Ward. The handwriting of Mr..
O'Neil's name is said to be a palpable
forgery.
The passing of the larger check
came to light when the same reached
the Nutley bank to be honored. 1t
had been given in payment to a New
ark furniture house. White had come
to the firm n few days ago and pur-
chased $175 worth of furniture, which
had been sent by his order to 81

nouncing that instead of waiting
until July l he would end his work
at once.
Mr.. Rays reason for not waiting
until the end of the month. it was
said, was due to the fact that he did
not believe he could accomplish any
thing definite by working out the re-
naming period here. Mr.. Ray was
positive he could not add anything
to present conditions and he there-
fore felt that it would be useless to
remain here any longer. ON Saturday
last the head of the police board,
Frederick c. Breidenbach made a
statement defending the work of Cap
tain Ray as instructor to the New

NEW YORK, June 14.-C. K. G.
Billingss steam yacht Vanadis

early today with the body of John
j. Brown. of Boston, one of the two
victims of collision In Long Island
Sound last night between the yacht
and the big white passenger steamer
Bunker Hill, of the metropolitan
line. The body of the other victim,
George H. Kendrick, also of Boston,
was brought back to New York by
the Bunker Hill when she returned
earlier in the night with hole in
her side thirty feet high and nearly
twenty feet long.
Brown and Kendrick and three
others, injured in the accident, were
passengers on the Bunker Hill bound
for Boston. The Vanadis rammed
the passenger steamer in thick fog
off Eaton's Neck at the eastern end
of Huntington bay. The yacht

death as he sat at dinner i'm the din

The lifeboats of the Bunker Hill
were swung out on their davits and
filled with passengers, but when
the officers discovered that the
steamer was intact below the water
line they bade the passengers re-
turn to the decks. Stories told by
some passengers regarding the be-
havior of the Bunker Hil's crew
await official investigation. 1t was
said that some of the negro deck
hands rushed for the boats and re-
fused to surrender their places. The

BLACK BASS SEASON MAY
BE ONE OF BEST IN YEARS


Provided you can make arrange
ments with the fish. 1t will be all
right to catch black bass, either of
the small mouth or plymouth variety,
commencing at daylight tomorrow
morning and continuing until cold
weather.
No unnaturalized aliens will be per-
mitted to fish, but any citizen of the
State may do so by taking out a
license, which will cost $1.15, and citi-
zens of other States may do so by
paying license fee of $2.15. The bass
must be at least nine inches long and
not more than twelve may be caught
legally by any one person in one day,
but that last is an unnecessary provi-
sion of the law.
In Weequahic Park 1t is said that
the bass are SO hungry taa4 - Vy-

ing to eat each other. At Branch
Brook Park the bass are just as fero-
cious as the bass in Weequahic Park.
The report from various lakes and
ponds in North Jersey Indicate one
of the best bass seasons in years.
The bass season opens in Pennsyl-
vania tomorrow, also, and fishing is
permitted in that State without a
license by all who have license in
another state. Until this year, it was
permissible to catch eight-inch black
bass in Pennsylvania, but bill
passed by the legislature and waiting
action by the governor raises the
minimum length to nine inches, as
now is the law in New Jersey. 1t is
expected that this bill will become
law. as Governor Brumbach is a
black bass enthusiast, and is known
to favor the proposed change.
