The appointment of twenty men to

and parking of automobiles on Broad

ket. Two men will be on duty from
$50 a. m. to $3.50 p. m, and the other

force ii with private automobiles. No

street to take on or let off paSsen-
gers.
Private machines, however, may
stop in front of business houses in
the zone for so long as their owners
require to transact their business
"and no longer" The policeman on
duty will appreciate, according to the
order, that some transactions may
take half-hour and others only a
few minutes, and will use his dis
cretion in regulating them.
The latest of the many -Four Cor
ners" regulations Is intended to sim
plify the handling of traffic there.
Besides the four policemen stationed
at the intersection, there has been for
the past several weeks at least one
extra man on duty. and frequently
several of them. On one afternoon
the police contingent there included
one commissioner two lieutenants, a
sergeant. two motorcycle men and six
patrolmen. About twenty jitney driv-
ers were arrested for stopping their
cars and the confusion was consider
able. Besides these, there are

breakdown. His illness dates from
March 81 last and since that time he
has been at the sanitarium.
Mr.. Bakers condition is said to
have been brought about by over
work and worry Mr.. Baker lost his
Oldest daughter, Maud, about fifteen
years ago. when she with several
other passengers in a street car was
killed in a railroad crossing accident
at Clifton avenue, on the Delaware,

of her elopement and marriage in
March last to Hugh +. Gilligan, jr.,
son of Hugh +. Gilligan, president
and general manager of the Newark

into their own hands and were mar

diving from a raft at Coney Island.
An autopsy will be required to deter
mine the nature of the injuries.
The accident happened Friday, July
30. one of the most uncomfortable
days of the recent hot spell, when
young Pierce thought to improve his
time at the Island by taking a swim.
He did not know what happened
between the time he dove from the
raft and when he recovered con-
sciousness in Coney Island Hospital
several hours later.
After several days at the Coney
Island Hospital he expressed wish
to be removed to st. Michaefs Hos

he was brought here in a private
automobile. His case seemed hope
less from the first, although he did
not lose consciousness or seem to be
in great pain until yesterday after
noon. Then he became unconscious
and died without recovering his
senses.

in this city for the past eleven years

TEN-CENT FARE
OPTIONAL WITH
yTNEY OWNERS
Should They Want to Charge
1t, Though, They Must Have
Special Signs.

Whether patrons of jitneys will
have to pay FIVE or ten-cent fare
hereafter is up to the operators of the
jitneys, according to a resolution
passed by the Jitnev Service Associa-
ton at it's meeting this morning, but
all owners must have the fare,
whether FIVE or ten cents, designated
by sign on their cars However,
according to opinions expressed at
the meeting. the fve-cent face will
be maintained by the majority of the
"jit' operators.
More friction between the city and
jitney owners is probable, according
to the exception taken by members
of the association regarding the re-
striction against the loading and un-
loading of passengers on Broad street
between Bank street and Branford
place. The jitney owners feel that if
the Public Service has the privilege
Of taking on and unloading passen-
gers at Market and Broad streets
the "jits" should have the same priyi-
lege. as they are paying the city
and State for the privilege of operat-
ing jitneys the same as the Public
Service is paying for operating troll
leys."
Exception was also taken to the OBJ
lection by the 1olice of "jit" passen-
gers riding on the running board of
the machines while the open cars are
allowed to carry passengers on the
running board, it being claimed that
one is as dangerous as the other.
The jitney owners claim that the
traffic regulation against receiving
passengers near Market and Broad
streets is the cause Of their losing
money and it was also stated that
tre fic regulations in other parts of
the city prevents the jits from get
ting possible passengers.
These matters will be brought to
the attention Of the police commits
sioners by a committee consisting of
W l. Morgan, Charles w. Morris,
Alfred f. Holiday. William c. M.
Hotze. jr.. and A. L. Garraprant, who
were appointed at the meeting this
morning.
To visit Police Commissioners.
The committee will meet the COM
missioner5 today and discuss with a
view of regulating the present traffic
conditions which the jitneymen are
charging as detrimental to their
business. While some of the jitney
men claim to be making a living
others claim that they are lucky to
break even under the present restric-
tions

ADMITS STRIKE
HAS RUINED HIS
WORKING FORCE
President Weber, of Sloan &
chaoe Plant, Says Skilled
Helpers Have Gone.
NEARLY ALL HAVE TAKEN
EMPLOYMENT ELSEWHERE
Twelve Men Imported from Ho-
boken, Seven of Whom
Refused TO Work.

Peter Weber. president of the Sloan
& Chace Manufacturing Company,
Thirteenth street and Sixth avenue,
imported twelve men from Hoboken
this morning. but seven quit at the
Rcseville station of the Lackawanna
railroad as soon as they saw police
guard, and four of those who rode
10 the factory in automobiles left the
Job after spending between twenty
and twenty-five minutes in the place.
The strike has developed in a pecu-
liar manner. President Weber ad-
nits that his shop organization is
wrecked, and that he has no hope of
getting back any of his skilled help,
nearly all of whom have found other
jobs
A stormy meeting of the striking
machinists was held this morning at
Smiths Hall, corner of Sixth avenue
and Fourteenth street, when the
strikers discussed the question as to
whether they would return to work
under the old conditions or hold out
for the demands which they present
ed to President Weber when they quit
Work. Everyone was barred from the
meeting excepting the strikers. One
man wanted a vote taken Saturday
morning, but he was alone. The ques-
tion of a vote was indefinitely post
poned.
Carl Larsen, the organizer of the
International Brotherhood of Metal
Workers, who is in charge of the
meeting, stated that no vote was
taken by the men as to whether they
would return to work or not, be
cause the sentiment in favor of stay
ing out was so strong that it was not
thought necessary"
He admitted, however, that several
of the men, among them couple of
the skilled workers. had spoken in
favor of abandoning the strike and
returning to work under the old con-
ditions.
Vote Postponed Indefinitely.
Larsen further stated that the meet
connected with one of the biggest
tidential position and who did not
want his name known, and who gave
the men some interesting data ariu
figures on the inside working of the
Manufacturers Association"
The meeting and the attempt of the
Sloan & Chace Company to import
mechanics to try and break the strike
made today the liyeliest since the
walkout week ago Only one of the

FREEHOLDERS ARE
SUSPICIOUS OF
CREATING JOB
Finance Committee Fears Pres
ent County EmpIoye Is to
Have Two Posts.

An attempt to give an unnamed
county employe 500 month in addi-
ton to whatever salary he may now
be recipient of was disclosed at the
meeting of the finance committee of
the Board of Freeholders this after
noon.
Lathrop Anderson, president of the
board of trustees of the new parental
home, which will be erected at Sus-
sex avenue and Duryee street, asked
permission for the board to name an
assistant secretary who would be
paid $240 per year.
Freeholder Richard r. Malta asked
"Can we do that?" and County Coun-
sci Alfred n. Dalrymple replied: II
can't say without additional informa-
ton"
Director Walter A. Evans said: II
have been given to understand that
a person with job in the Court
House has been acting as secretary
for the board of trustees 1t is my
belief that no county employe can
draw two salaries from the county
know that several election supervisors
were compelled to give up their jobs
some time ago."
Some one then moved that the mat
ter be referred to the county counsel
for advice. Freeholder Amos w. Har-
rison, who presided, said: mo need
for formality; the counsel is right
here
Counsel Dalrymple said: 81 can't
advise you as things stand; no person
is named We can't say who may be
appointed to the place If appointment
is authorized. More facts are needed
for an opinion"
On motion of Freeholder Malta,
the matter was postponed for one
week. 1t was reported that the
county had to its credit on deposit
in various banks today 1851, ,412.36.
Bonds in the sum of $145,000. to run
