FREEHOLDERS
ARE FACING
HIGHER TAXES
The County Rate Is Sure to
Get a Substantial
Jump.
INCREASE IN RATABLES
WILL GIVE SOME RELIEF
Most of the Departments,
Though, Will Give Some
Relief.

That there will be substantial in
crease in the cost of running the
county government during the next
fiscal year and an increase of at least
one or two mills in the tax rate to
/ be levied, is the indication at present.
While the impression is general
among members of the Board of
Freeholders that the budget will be
considerably heavier than last year.
the amounts to be asked for have not
been definitely determined and no.
body seems to know what the total
budget will be.
For the current fiscal year the
county tax rate has been sixty-nine
cents on every 500 of valuation, and
it is possible that the county tax rate
may go as high as seventy-two cents
for the next fiscal year. On the other
hand, 1t is argued that the county tax
ratables have increased considerably
during the past year, and this will
have tendency to keep the tax rate
down some, thereby furnishing a
measure of relief that would have
been exceptionally heavy.
Wh1le the budget items have not
all been completed by the freeholders.
present indications are that the total
appropriation needed for running the
county will be upwards of $1,000. 900.
For the year 1914-1915, about closing,
the total appropriations were $4.S16.-
S43.s5.
AS an offset TO the probable in
crease in the app 3riation attention
is being called by the freeholders to
the fact that the county is growing
and that there has been a large in
crease in tax ratables. They de-
clare that an increase in the running
expenses of the county goyernme
is imperative when there is growth
and progress, but that the increase
in tax ratables will prevent the as

MAY PROHIBIT
SLATTERY TALK
IN EAST ORANGE
Mayor and Police Chief Inves-
tigating Plans for lex
Priests" Appearance.

Learning today that Joseph Siat-
terry, of Boston, who calls himself an
'ex-priest," and who recently was
prevented from speaking in Jersey
City, is scheduled to talk in the East
Orange High School on Tuesday
night, April 20. Mayor Worrall F.
Mountain and Chief of Police w. H.
O'Neill, of the latter city, began an
investigation of whether it will be
advisable to allow him to talk. The
officials intimated that IL they feel
trouble will result from his appear
ance in East Orange he will be
barred.
With memories of the stormy
scenes that occurred when Emma
Goldman was in the city on June s,
1909, still fresh in his mind, Chief
O'Neill did not hesitate to say that
If Slattery's appearance would tend
to precipitate trouble he would be
decidedly against allowing him to
deliver his alleged infiammatory re-
marks. O'Neill was not head of the
police department when Miss Gold
man was in the city on the invitation
of Alden Freeman, but it fell to his
lot to have to shoulder the respon-
sibility of keeping the big crowds
that turned out in order. :.
der the auspices of the East End
Historical Club, an organization un-
known in the eastern section of East
Orange. Indignation over the ar
rangements for the meeting were
voiced in Catholic circles of East
Orange when the fact that Slattery
was asked to appear became known
through a letter in a question and
answer column of local evening
newspaper.
A resident of the city, hearing
about the meeting, wrote to the
paper, inquiring about the mans
talk. Two nights later party sign
ing himself L. H. r., who evidently
Is a member Of the organization, in a
letter in the same columns said that
the meeting was one of a series being
arranged $50 that the question of re-
ligion in politics can be studied from
every angle" The missive added that
the organization is composed of
Protestants and Catholics. Attempts
to learn the names of the officers of
the organization were Intellectual to-
day.
That the organization had hired the
auditorium of the High School, in
which to hold the meeting, was con-
firmed by Warren j. Clapp, secretary
of the Board of Education, who has
charge of renting the school build
ings. Mr.. Clapp was considerably sur
prised when acquainted with the fact
that disorder has occurred in munici-
palities where Slattery has talked
previously. Should Mayor Mountain
and Chief ONeill deem it best to keep
the man out of the city. Mr. Clapp
said the Board of Education would
have to deny the organization the
privilege of using the auditorium, as
it has already paid for the rental of
the building.
It was stated in the letter about
SIattery's appearance that Catholic
priest in the Oranges was to be asked
to talk at one of the meetings. The
name of Rev. Paul T. Carew, rector
of st. Johns Church, Orange. the
missive stated, was suggested.
The man who hired the auditorium
said he was Wilbur l.. Fritz.

DOG IN CELLAR,
THIEF GETS LOOT
JeweIry Valued at $500 Is
Taken from Arlington Home
in Broad Daylight.

To her failure to leave her watch-
dog, an Irish terrier, in her apart
ment yesterday is ascribed by Mrs.
Willard B. Stevens, of Ga New Lawn
avenue, Arlington, as the reason for
the fact that her home was entered
by a robber yesterday afternoon. The
fellow made off with about $4OO worth
of jewelry. The police have q descrip-
ton of the alleged thief.
The Stevens home is located in the
section where a number of robberies
have recently been committed. No
arrests have been made by the police
in connection with any of the thefts.
On different occasions the alleged
burglar was chased. but each time
managed to get his getaway. For the
past few weeks there had been no
burglarizing and residents of the Ar
lington section were breathing easier.
Several persons saw two men lurk-
ing In the neighborhood of the Ste
vens home yesterday afternoon. One
of the fellows was seen on the Ste
vens stoop. The same man went to
two other houses in the neighborhood,

STICK UP" MEN
ROB GROCER At
REVOLVER POINT
Storekeeper Forced to Sit in
Corner While Hold-Up
Men Work.

Forced to sit in a corner at the
point of a gun last night while two
"stick up men rified the cash regis
ter of its contents, Henry Ring, a
grocer, of 4so Springfield avenue re-
mained in a state bordering on col
lapse for so long a time that the men
made an easy getaway. After a time
Ring gathered his wits together and
telephoned to the Fourth precinct po-
lice station. The thieves obtained
s11
Detectives from headquarters and
plainclothesmen from the Fourth pre-
cinct were quickly dispatched TO the
scene of the robbery, but the men
had made good their escape.
A man entered Rings store last
night and asked for a half pound of
butter. Ring went to the back of the
store to comply with the customers
wants, and had Just started to weigh
the butter when he heard the cash
register ring.
Turning quickly, Ring found him
self looking into the muzzle of gun
held by the stranger, who forced him
to sit in a corner. He was unable TO
get a glimpse of the other man, who
was helping himself TO the contents
of the register.
After a while Ring heard a voice
say: "All right, l got it. There isn't
much, but it will do"
| Ring plucked up courage and
looked up at the man who had held
him prisoner.
"weIl, we're going now" said that
individual land if you move out OF
that chair before we get away, I'll
blow your head off. !"
He then backed out of the store, at
the same time watching the corner
in which Ring was sitting, too fright
ened TO move. Ring couldn't say
which way the men went.
He describes the gunman as being
about five feet, in height, about thirty
years of age and weighing about one
hundred and fifty pounds. He had
on gray suit and a brown soft hat.
Another Robber Nabbed.
Bewailing the loss of se7 which he
had in a sack coat hanging on his
push-cart at Prince and Morton
streets, Jacob Millerod is a happy
man today, as he has recovered $22 of
the money stolen. Millerod was SELL
ing some stockings to a woman at
4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and
was making change when he noticed
small. dark man standing close to
the push-cart.

The First Came

In the first game of the sea-
son played on the diamond in
this city last Sunday afternoon
the city team was defeated by
the Ashland Brewers in a seven
inning game. The score was Ii
to 4 when the game was called.
The weather was anything but
pleasant for a ball game, a
strong east wind sending chill
through the players and the
fans. The game lacked spirit,
but the players are not to blame
for it was impossible to play
good ball in such weather.
Manager Calder has a game
booked for next Sunday after
noon and with warm weather a
much better game is looked for
ward to. Washburn's base bal
team should be given support
and there should be a good turn
out at the games.

We have some respect for the
smooth young man, who, finding
himself without funds and stranded
in South Dakota town, did not
wire home for money, but, on a
capital of dollar, went into business
for himself. He brought absolutely
nothing into the town but the dollar.
He left with quite bit of money.
1t is pretty little study in econom-
les. He was broke-almost. A hotel
bill stared him in the face. He was
too proud to wire home for cash.
So he determined to earn some. He
went to printer and had him make
him up lot of labels for a wonder
full furniture polish" He stood
of the printer and with his dollar
purchased a gallon of machine oil
and some pint bottles. He bottled
the oil, pasted the labels and started
out. He was well dressed and a
good talker. He offered to polish
any article of furniture free to any
lady upon whom he called. He did
a good job in each case and was en-
PERTAINING. The price of the wonder
full polish was so cents bottle. He
sold his first gallon of oil for 81. 90.
With the money he paid the printer,
bought more oil and bottles and kept
on until he had worked the town.
Then he left paying for everything.
After he had gone druggist and a
hardware dealer were among those
discovered that their wives had
bought furniture polish" from the
young man, although each of them
sold various kinds of polishes in their
stores. They had never advertised
them, however, so how were the
wives to know? The pathetic part
of the story is that the young man
bought the bottles from the druggist
and from the hardware dealers he
purchased, at 40 cents a gallon, the
same oil that he sold to Mrs. Hard
ware Dealer for SO cents pint.
