BREAD PRICES
To Be RAISED
IN |RV|NGTON
First Increase in Thirty Years
to Go in Effect
Monday.

Beginning Monday the price of
bread and kindred foodstuffs will be
advanced by the bakery concerns of
Irvington, in accordance with the pro-
cedure already taken in this city and
elsewhere For the first time in thirty
years the residents of Irvington will
pay six cents a loaf for bread.
Some of the retail bakers increased
the prices for their store trade last
Wednesday, but customers who are
regularly served on routes will not
pay the extra cent until Monday.
Rolls, crullers, cup cakes, etc, hith-
erto sold at the rate Of ten cents a
dozen, are now a cent each.
Nicholas Weber, the pioneer baker
of the town, who has now retired,
said this week that the present in
crease is the first In thirty years In
Irvington. Mr.. Weber began business
there in 1884. At that time bread
was selling for six cents per loaf. II
only remained at that figure for about
two months and has never since been
in effect again until the present an
nouncement that it will prevail on
Monday.
The war is the only reason which
the bakers can give for the 100 per
cent. increase In the price of flour,
which has risen from "a a barrel last
July to IS now. In view of this
double cost the bakers declare that
they have no alternative other than
to raise the prices Of their food
stuffs.

MOVE IS BEGUN
Preliminary Steps Taken by
Representatives of Raymond

OF FIRST COMMISSION
KaIIsch Appears Before Judge
Adams to Pave Way for Mo-
ton Next Week.

A complete reassessment of dam
Ages in connection with the Branford
pace opening ana widening will be
made by commissioners appointed by
Mayor Thomas L. Raymond.
The necessary legal steps inteEded
. 20 clear the way to this end were
made today in the Circuit Court be-
fore Judge Frederic Asams when 1t
was announced that on next Satur-
day the assessment report now De-
fore the court would come UP for
final hearing.
Harry Kalisch, city attorney, had
been in Judge Adams's chambers for
half an hour before the latter as
cended the bench, while outside IN
the big courtroom two dozen law
yers were in waiting. 1t was under
stood that the motion for with
drawal of the report of the present
commission and the submission OF q
new one would be made at the open
ing of the court, but this idea was
abandoned when 1t was pointed out
that 1t was necessary to hold hear
ing of the report then before the
court before any motion for its with
drawal could be made.
The situation really resolves itself
lrto a battle between the legal de-
partments or the previous and pres
ent administration. Mr. kalisch to-
day said that 1t was the intention OF
the city law department to have the
report Of the commissioners with
drawn and new assessments made.
He said this was being done for the
reason that the report of the COM
mission now before the court had
been found to be in error in many
respects and that the present pity
law department believed it to be q
defective report.
For that reason, Mr.. Kalisch said,
Il had been decided to withdraw tho
report next week and arrange for
reassessment by commission ap-

startling facts are expected at the

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-While

one of the bases of compromise.
Senator Burton took the floor for

Though less vigorous than the

MANNING, WHOSE
WIFE WAS SLAIN,
IS Welded AGAIN
Verona Man Takes Bride Year
After Murder
Here.

Just a year and a week after the
murder OF his wife and the suicide OF
the woman who killed her, Charles 1.
Manning. OF Verona, last night mar
ried Miss Gertrude Diekow, of Port
Monmouth. The wedding was quiet
one. 1t was solemn zed by Rev. John
r. Pratt, pastor OF the Congrega-
tional Church. Verona. The only at
tendants were Miss Katherine Keat-
ing and John E Mullin. Just how
long Miss Diekow and Manning had
kept company could not be ascer-
ia ned
It was on the night Of February s,
1914. that Mrs. Harriet Manning, sum
moned to the front door Of her home
at PIG Warren street. this city, was
shot down by woman who proved
to be Miss Hazel Herdman, Of Pomp-
ton turnpike. Verona. The case was
one that baffled the police. At first
it was thought a man disguised as a
woman committed the murder, as
Mrs. Manning, two days previous to
the time of the murder, had received
81, 400 insurance money and that rob-
berry was the motive Of the slayer.
Working on this theory the police
battled against all odds until a tele-
phone message was received that a
young woman was dying at Noun
ta'nside Hospital, Montclair, from the
effect of biehloride of mercury tab
lets.
Miss Herdman took the poison in
Bloomfield. She fell in a semi-con.
scious condition in front of a drug
store. When she was carried into the
store she asked that the police be
summoned. She was later removed &c
the hospital. Chief OF Police Long. OF
this city and several detectives rushed
to the Montclair hospital when they
heard the girl had confessed. The
| local police secured an ante-mortem
statement from her
Miss Herdman, it was said, called
upon Mrs. Manning for the purpose
of having her get divorce. Mrs
Manning each time refused. Miss
Herdman left her home in September
1910, with Manning, who, it was said
at that time. had just been separated
from his wife.
For some time prior to her death
the Herdman girl had not been Twins
WITH n6T parents. MduHllk was al
rested the day following the murder
She confessed that she muir
dered Mrs. Manning so that she
might marry Manning, with whom
1t was said, she had been friendly.
After the murder. Manning turned
against the Herdman girl and the
latter, in a fit of despondency, took
the poison.
The nuptials last night were as
clandestine as it was possible to
have them. Mullin, the best man,
was employed by Manning at his
garage in Verona at the time of
the murder. The first Mrs. Manning
had been living with her husband
for some time prior to the time she
met her death
Manning and his new wife, after a
honeymoon, will live in newly
erected house on Pompton avenue,
Verona, about a half-mile from the
hotel conducted by Arthur j. Herd

MANN DECLINES
OFFER OF LOCAL
EPISCOPAL POST
Parishioners' Pleas for Him to
Remain at Boston Church
Given as Reason.

Rev. Alexander Mann, rector OF
Trinity Church, Boston, and former
rector of Grace Church, Orange, has
declined the election as suffragan
bishop of the Episcopal diocese Of
Newark, an honor conferred upon
him at the convention held in Trinity
Church in this city on January 26
He has told Rev Edwin A. White,
of Bloomfield, chairman OF the com
mittee, which formally notified him
of the election. that he has received
40 many letters from parishioners OF
Trinity Church, over which he nov
presides,- protesting that his present
work is more important than mere
parochial duty that he has decided
not to reIinquish his present posi-
tion.
Two years ago he declined election
as bishop of Washington, and doubt
was expressed by delegates to the
Newark convention last month as to
whether he would accept IL chosen.
Largely upon the assurance Of Mr..
White, who later was made chair.
man of the notification committee,
that the Boston man would accept II
the matter was properly presented to
him, the convention chose Mr.. Mann
on the third ballot.
Archdeacon McCleary was the
leader on the first ballot, with the
clergy having thirty-one ballots TO
Mr.. Mann's eleven, but the arch
deacon. who is a high churchman,
was third with ten votes on the first
ballot of the laity, while Mr.. Mann
was second with fourteen.
On the second ballot Mr.. Mann was
the leader both with the clergy and
laity, but was short of majority in
both houses On the third ballot,
however, he got s'xty-six out Of
ninety-five votes from the clergy and
forty-eight out of sixty-four from the
laity. His nearest opponent, Arch
deacon McCleary, moved the election
be made unanimous, and 1t was done.
E'even years ago, when Bishop
Lines was chosen, he defeated Mr..
Mann by only one vote. Soon after
that MT. Mann accepted the Boston
charge. The salary of suffragan
bishop of Newark has been fixed at
$4,000
