Aldermanic Committee Adopts
WatchfuI Waiting Policy, Re-
fusing to Sanction Work.
MARKET CLERK BOYLE
SAYS FILLING TO PROCEED
Henry Hahn, Republican, Ad-
vocates Filling In the
Excavation.

An attempt to have the market
committee of the Common Council
sanction the filling of the hole made
for new market was firmly side
tracked at meeting of that conn
mittee last night. There was some
discussion about the hole and a few
pleasantries exchanged among the
aldermen, but the only thing decided
upon was "watchful waiting policy.
Until the legal department advises
the committee how the proposition
should be dealt with the hole will be
left in its present shape-one- quarter
filed.
Such was the expression of the ma
jority members of the committee
when an adjournment was taken.
After the formal session Market Clerk
Thomas A. Boyle, who started the
controversy two weeks ago by order
ing the hole filled, made the state
ment that the filing would continue.
The clerk did not explain how he
would overcome the present legal
difficulties.
Alderman Henry Hahn, Republi-
can, started the discussion concern
ing the hole where the farmers mar
ket was.
Aren't we to take up the question
Of filing the hole adjoining the mar
ket?" he asked. II don't want to get
into a hole by bringing this matter
up, however. The hole is now one
half or one-quarter filed, and we
should fill it up and level it off, so as
to get revenue from the property.
We can get lot of money from the
farmers who are willing to pay rent
for stands there
Isn't the chairman aware that this
committee is waiting for legal opin-
ion on the matter?" queried Alder
man Thomas f. Curran
Alderman John F. Fitzsimmons.

there was little use of discussing the
problem until the law department
had given an opinion.

can with it," said Alderman Hahn

former.
II believe we should sanction the
action of the market clerk in order

man Hahn. EITHER the hole should
be all filed and leveled off or the fill
ing should be stopped. 1t can do no
harm for this committee to go on
record as favoring such action"

ers of the revolution, IN the very
hour of their success, have disagreed
and turned their arms against one
another.
AL protesting the same objects,
they are, nevertheless, unable or ull-
willing to cooperate. A central au-
thority at Mexico City is no sooner
set UP than it is undermined and it's
authority denied by those who were
expected to support it.
Mexico is apparently no nearer a
solution OF her tragical troubles than
she was when the revolution Was
first kindied. And she has been swept
by civil war as if by fire. Her crops
are destroyed, her fields lie unseeded,
her work cattle are confiscated for
the use of the armed factions, her
people fee to the mountains to escape
being drawn into unavailing blood
shed, and no man seems to see or
lead the way to peace and settled
order There is no proper protec-
ton either for her own citizens or for
the citizens of other nations resident
and at work within her territory.
Mexico is starving and without gov
ernment.
In these circumstances the people
and government of the United States
cannot stand indifferently by and do
nothing to serve their neighbor. They
want nothing for themselves n
Mexico Least of all do they resire to

the personal supervision and expert
direction of Captain Ray.

Members of the Central Avenue EX-

meeting tonight at their rooms in
the Essex building at which final
plans will be made for their confer
ence with Mayor Raymond and the
Board of Works tomorrow I'm an eff
fort to have Central avenue widened

During the past two weeks compe-
tent engineers have been over the
ground and maps and other data to
show just what the Improvement will
mean have been prepared. These will
be placed on exhibition at the Board
of Works meeting tomorrow, when it
is expected that the matter will be
settled one way or another.
Mayor Raymond said some time
ago that he was opposed to the Cen
tral avenue improvement. Since that
time members of the association have
been at work trying to convince
Mayor Raymond of the worth of the
proposition, and it is said that he
will not oppose it as strenuously as
he did at the outset.
The members of the association will
go to the City Hall at 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning and make another
effort to win the mayor over com
pletely They will endeavor to show
him just what benefits they believe
Newark will derive from the open
ing and the actual cost to be as
sessed per year. According to Off
cials of the organization, business
men and property-owners within a
large radius are strong for the inn
provement.
The mayor at the last conference
of the business men in favor of the
proposition told them that he did not
see very much interest in the propo-
sition. To show him just what in
terest centres in the Improvement the
association plans to send delega-
tion of representative men to the
chief executives office tomorrow
morning and another to the Board OF
Works meeting in the afternoon.
The mayor is also averse to the

PARIS. June ., 5:15 a. m.-Bul-
garia and Rumania have arrived at
complete understanding. according
to a Bucharest dispatch to the Petit
Parisien, Rumania having agreed to
cede territory in Dobrudja. The two
countries will enter the war stimuli
taneously, the dispatch says, Ru-
mania against Austria and Bulgaria
against Turkey The army staffs of
the two powers are said to be busy
co-ordinating military plans.
Negotiations between Rumania and
Russia over the lines of the Pruth
and of Banat are said to be virtually
complete If Russia accepts Ru-
mania's proposals the latter country
is declared to be ready to begin hos
tilities without delay.
Dobrudja is a part of Rumania,
bounded on the east by the Black
sea and on the north and west by
the Danube river. AS a consequence
of the second Balkan war between
Bulgaria and Serbia and Greece,
Rumania took from Bulgaria a large
slice of territory and added 1t to Do
brudgja province on the south
Much bitter feeling existed in Bull
garia for some time against Rumania
on this account, but more recently q
change in the relations between these
two Balkan states was observed. Last
| December the Bulgarian minister at
Petrograd was quoted as saying that
Rumania had arranged to restore TO
Bulgaria that portion of Dobrugja
which had been annexed by the
| former country after the second Bal
kan war.
