FREEHOLDERS
WANT TIME ON
TUNNEL PLAN
While Favoring vehicuIar
Route Under Hudson, They
Fear High Taxes.
FIRST PAYMENT FROM
ESSEX COUNTY $4,000
Then Would Come $74, 1000 Per
Year for seventy-five
H. Years.


Despite many strong arguments
made yesterday afternoon in favor
of the proposition for a bridge and
tunnels for vehicular traffic between
New Jersey and New York city, and
assurances from the boosters of the
project that Essex county would be
greatly benefited thereby, members
of the Board of Freeholders decided
that the expenditure, as starter,
of $4,000 at this time was not war
ranted.
The consensus of opinion among
the board members seemed to be
that the bridge and tunnels were
greatly to be desired, but that the
people were more anxious to keep
! down the tax levy for next year.
The hearing was called at the re-
quest of the Northern New Jersey
Improvement Association. and Ed =
ward c. Brennan, chairman of the
association, was the principal
speaker
Mr.. Brennan explained that the
tunnel project would cost approx
mately s11,OO0,000 and the bridge $42,-
100000. The cost of building either
would be divided equally between
New Jersey and New York, and by
the issuing of long-term bonds, run
ming seventy-five years, the cost of
building either the bridge over the
Hudson river or the vehicular tun-
nell would not be felt by the tax
payers.
Mr.. Brennan went into the SUBJ
Ject at length. He declared that the
meadow Improvement work would
be a wonderful piece of engineering,
but with the opening of vehicular
tunnel Newark would be a magnet
for Western manufacturers. Ho
presented a petition signed by ITO
local manufacturing concerns, signi-
flying their Endorsement of the
project.
Proposition Had Rosy Hue.
AS Mr.. Brennan explained the plan,
1t looked very rosy, as he said that
the only cost to the county at pres
ent would be $4,000. This sum, he
explained, was to defray the expense
of making tentative survey of both
propositions.

Frederick Tench, representing the
Meadow Taxpayers Association and
a member of the firm of Terry &

improvement. He said that, while
he owned considerable meadow
property and might benefit himself,
still he believed that the bridge and
tunnel projects would be a great
stimulus to business in Essex county
and bring manufac .urers here.

FURNISHING OF
ALMSHOUSE IS
Up TO RAYMOND
New Specifications to Cut
$1,000 Off Cost-Mayor's
Talk Called Slander.

Mayor Raymond was again criti-
cised for some OF his public state
ments at the meeting of the poor and
aims committee of the Common
Council yesterday afternoon. The
chairman of the committee, Alder
man Anthony Schuck, took occasion
to resent the mayors recent allega-
tions in church talks to the effect
that members of the poor and aims
committee had bought articles with
the city's money and had then given
the articles to friends. Mr.. Schuck
said the city executives talk was
slanderous.
Incidental to the meeting 1t was
announced that the poor anS aims
committee will shortly receive a new
set of specifications for the Ivy Hill
almshouse furnishings. The contract
for the last set of furnishings was
declared Illegal by the court 1t Is
now understood that Joseph B.
O'Rourke, the architect for the build
ings, Is revising the old set Of specifi-
cations and that he proposes to abol-
ish the hiring of an expert to see that
the proper furnishings are installed
in the building.
John P. Curtin, a veteran furniture
salesman, some time ago was engaged
to supervise the selection of the fur
nishings for the new city almshouse.
He previously had acted in the same
capacity for the new nurses home at
the City Hospital and had kept the
cost about $1,000 below the appropri-
alton.
The revision of the specifications
will consist merely of eliminating
rubber runners for the long halls and
rugs for the private rooms of the
superintendent, Patrick White. A
change will also be made in the locker
system. Under the old specifications
Individual lockers were to be erected
now a locker room will be built.
No other changes of any sort will
be made, 1t is stated. The changes
ii Is estimated, will reduce the total
cost by $1,000.
Chairman Schuck announced that
after the specifications are passed by
the committee they will be turned
over to the mayor TO have him
either approve or disapprove of them
Alderman E. Garfield Clifford and
Thomas ]. Lee. jr., chairman of the
poor and aims committee of last year
ing the specifications.
Things have gone a little too far"
said Alderman Schuck. THE news
papers have printed statements that
Mayor Raymond made about us, and
they must have been so. as he has
not asked for a contradiction. 1t Is

HOUSE TO PROBE
STORY OF GRAFT
BEHIND MEASURE
Money Said to Have Been Used
to Push Osteopath Bill
Through House.
From 3 star Correspondent.

From staff Correspondent.
TRENTON, April GA committee
of seven members of the House Is to
investigate the story that money was
used to force the osteopathy bill
through the House. The bill, Senate
1888, by Senator Peter J. McGinnis, of
Passaic, was passed by the House
last Tuesday, and, IL signed by the
governor, would let down the bars
for osteopaths by making the qualify
ing examinations less rigid. William
N. Runyon, majority leader, brought
the rumors to the governors atten-
ton. Later he recommended the ap-
pointment of the investigating COM

The New Jersey Osteopathic So

three members of the House under
suspicion, according to Hervey S.
Moore, of Trenton, a House steno-
grapher, who is one of the counsel for
the society.

YOUTH, WIDOWS
ONLY SUPPORT,
TRAIN VICTIM
Body of Edgar A. Rennie, of
Lyndhurst, Found on Lack
awanna Tracks in Harrison.

On the eve of his eighteenth birth
day, Edgar A. Rennie, sole support
of a widowed mother, was so badly
injured by a Lackawanna railroad
train at the Harrison station last
night that he died from the effects
early today Rennie lived at 113 Jay
avenue. Jyndhurst. He was on his
way home when he came by the in
juries that resulted in his death.
The circumstances that led up to
the mishap on the tracks are en-
shrouded in mystery and may never
be known. It was at $3.50 that John
Fahey, a brakeman on the freight,
telephoned to the Harrison police sta
ton that a man had been struck by
his train. The ambulance, with Pa
trolman John Ryan. was rushed to
the station.
Rennie's body was lengthwise be-
tween the tracks The head faced
the north. The face was buried in
about three inches of cinders. The
youth was breathing heavily, and
Ryan lost no time in having him
to st. Michaeps Hospital, this city.
Death ensued at 1850 o'clock today, a
few minutes after the mother of the
youth had left his bedside.
According to the story told by Mrs.
Rennie, her son was employed as
draughtsman by the Underwood
Typewriter Company, of New York.
He was also a sketch artist. On
Thursday nights 1t was his custom to
go to Hoboken and drill with the
Fourth Regiment, of which he was
a member. After the drill 1t was his
wont to board a train at Hoboken
and arrive In Harrison about 1912.
He generally met a Hackensack car
at Harrison avenue and Second
street at 10:16. BY using this route
the youth saved about two hours
time in reaching his home, as

Fine Weather Here for Good
and Early Corn Soon Will
Be Planted, Say Farmers

The fine weather is getting finer and
must be here for good, as the peep
ers'' are ''peeping'' in western Essex
and eastern Morris. and the farmers
say that a week after the welcome
salute of the peppers" is the time
to plant the early corn. They do not
know just what the ''peeper' is, but
they know his song, and say that 1t
never is premature in announcing the
coming of warm weather. The lowest
temperature last night was AZ and at
noon today 1t was Sc, with three
mile wind from the southwest.
The forecaster said at noon that he
saw every indication pointed to a
continuance of the fine weather over
morrow, with light to moderae
variable winds.

Lment and irritationi that Mr.. Sunday

last night to satisfaction and pleas

while preaching was eloquent In its
action, varied and incessantly NOV
ing in every muscle, it gave its own
peculiar evidence of qualification at
the cheers, applause and laughter of
the big audience. Frequently the
evangelist paused to laugh awhile
himself when he had made a specially
good sally. Those who have heard
him in Philadelphia recall that he
laughed and the audience laughed at
precisely the same sallies, raps and
jabs at some human foible.
However, Mr.. Sunday brought forth
last night one of his best sermons.
He had practiced it and so frequent

its striking and strategic points to

casionally in public, he is himself
good psychologist, consciously or un-

Creditors, Who Claim So, 900.

NEW YORK, April 9-The J. B.
Greenhut Company, a New York cor
poration, with $4,000, 900 outstanding
securities operating two department
stores on Sixth avenue, this city, went
into receivership today through
friendly proceedings. A few moments
after the equity suit had been filed,
an involuntary petition in bankruptcy
was filed in separate proceedings by
three creditors with claims totaiing
$1,000
The firms liabilities, according to
its counsel, aggregate SS,513.O6o and
its assets s7,465. .419. These figures do
not include two mortgages amounting
to $2,950,000, which are secured by real
estate bonds. Another estimate of
assets and liabilities is given in the
petition OF the three. In this the
liabilities are placed at about 12,000,-
900 and the assets at about $4,000, 900.
William A. Marble. president of
the Merchants Association, of this
city, and Walter c. Noyes, former
Federal district court judge, were ap-
pointed receivers, under a joint bond
of 100000, with power to continue
the business.
Adverse business conditions during
the past year and inability of the firm
to meet Immediately pressing obliga-
tions were assigned as reasons for
seeking a receivership. The suit was
brought by the Monmouth Securities
Company, in which B. J. Greenhut
was an officer and was based upon q
claim for about 100000 loaned the
Greenhut firm.
