TO
IMPROVE BROAD
STREET CORNER
Handsome Mercantile Struc-
lures to Replace Old Buildings.
First Work Under Way.

Information that the Prudential In
surance Company has completed gen.
eral plans for the development of
property holdings at the northwest
| corner OF Broad and Market streets
was obtained today. That contracts
had actually been signed was denied
| by officials and by the contracting
! firm, the Hedden Construction Com
pany. The company is now ready to
build upon the Broad street site inn
mediately adjoining its main build
ing, where an old building has Just
been removed, and upon the Broad
street site of the old Goerke store
The signing Of the contract for this
part of the improvement is only n
matter of detail now, 1t was inti-
mated.
The Prudential denied that It had
secured immediate possession OF all
the property in the block to be re-
built, as the lease of Charles Holz-
| hauer, who has the drug store at
Market and Broad streets, has not
yet expired.
| Wilbur S. Johnson, the second vice
president of the Prudential, when
asked about the reported improve
ment, said the company was not
ready to go ahead with the rebuilding
of the entire block. The immediate
plans, he said, called for the erection
of new buildings between the Fidelity
| offices and the Holzhauer drug store.
! The exact date when operations would
begin was indefinite, he also stated,
but in answer to another query, Mr.
Johnson intimated that the signing of
the contract was now only a routine
matter.
! None OF the new buildings will be
a skyscraper or anything on that
order. The buildings that will adjoin
! the Fidelity offices VIII be two stories
! in height, Nir. johnson said. Other
| buildings will be two, three and five
| stories in height according 20 the
present intentions OF the company.
The architectural style will be diff
ferent than in the Prudential group.
but this does not mean that the new
buildings will not be an adornment to
the city. Quite the contrary, the new
buildings will at once elevate the gem
eral tone of Newarlt's busiest section,
and viii result In the removal of a
series of old buildings that have be-
come little more than O drag upon
the city's advance.
The improvement plans of the Pru-
Dental also call for the vacation of
the offices now occupied by the Pub
lie Service Corporation. The latter
will move into Its new terminal
building in Park place, thus giving
the Prudential additional floor space,
of which II Is in need
The new buildings will be rented
for stores and Offices.
Several officials of the Prudential
were seen besides Mr.. Johnson. Har
vey Thomas. the publicity manager,
said: "Of course II is true that the
Prudential Is contemplating some i'm
provements to it's Broad street prop
erty, as is plainly evidenced by the
changes already being made. Just
how extensive these improvements
are to be, l do know"

ACTION TO RECALL

Association Formed to Circu-
late Petitions, Alleging Finan-
ciaI Mismanagement.

For the purpose OF seeking the re-
call of the three members of the
Belleville Board of Commissioners,
about fifty citizens met last night in
Belleville Hall, Washington avenue,
and formed an association with that
object in view. Twelve of those pres
ent volunteered to take out petitions
to secure a referendum for the pur-
pose of recalling the officials. The
principal charge made against the
officials was mismanagement of
finances. -

Assessor Richard p. Scaine, jr., for

DR.. FRANK NOW
AC|T|ZEN OF
THIS COUNTRY
Naturalization Papers Granted
German by Judge o.
borne Today.

Dr. Kari George Frank, of Maple
wood, was granted naturalization
papers by Judge Harry V Osborne
In the Court of Common Pleas today
after representatives of the Federal
Bureau of Naturalization had said
they were unable to obtain proof that
Frank was not eligible for citizen
ship. He was accused by the Provi-
dence Journal of being the head of
the German Secret Service in this
country and DIR. Richard Funz, for
merry a partner of Frank and now In
San Francisco, also says the same
thing.
Thomas b. Shoemaker, of Phila-
delphia, chief examiner in the nat
uralization bureau there, said that
Funz could not be found by the in
vestigators and that all other sources
of information yielded only praise of
the man under investigation.
T. Elicit Hodyskin, of the law firm
of Winbate & Cullen, 20 Nassau
street, New York, appeared with
Courtlandt Parker, OF this city, as
counsel for Frank Attorney Hodgs-
kin told the court his client is the
American representative of Siemen
& Holske, a German electrical con
Germ employing 10000 persons. He
presented letters commanding Frank
from the United States Steel Cor
porauon, the Westinghouse Electrical
Co. and other corporations, and said
that the commandant of the Brook
lyn Navy Yard also speaks highly OF
his client.
Judge Osborne said: 'In view of
the friendly relations which always
have existed between Germany and
the United States there seems to be
no good reason why suspicion should
rest on this man merely because he
represents a German corporation

MAY SUE NEWARK
FOR $4,000 ON
PORT CONTRACT
Dredging Co. Differs With City
Engineer Over Meadow
Work.

In all likelihood the city OF Newark
will be q defendant in a suit TO re-
cover $4,000 anticipated profits, In
connection with the reclamation at
Port Newark Terminal. The Atlantic
Gulf and Pacific Dredging Company
insis, that they are to fill in large
portion behind the bulkheads on the
tract, but Chief Engineer Morris r..
Sherrerd takes a different view and
claims that if the contracting COM
pany is permitted to interpret tho
contract from their viewpoint, an
additional cost Of approximately
5000 will result.
Under the terms of the contract
portions of the reclaimed property
back of the bulkheads may be filled,
where designated by the engineer The
Atlantic Gulf and Pacific Dredging
Company claim that they have fig
ured on filing up to grade large
portion of the meadows, and IL they
are not permitted to do so will seek
to recover anticipated profits.
In view of the fact that the addi-
tional work described will exceed the
original estimate of cost, Chief En-
gineer Sherrerd was designated to
communicate with the contractors and
notify them that only a certain por-
tion is to be undertaken. Chief En-
gineer Sherrerd informed the board
that other sections of the development
required filing, more than the partic-
uIar section in question. The con-
tract of the Atlantic Gulf and Pacific
Dredging Company was extended for
sixty days on ths recommendation of
the engineer. The contract expired 6n

CITY COUNSEL
|NFAVOR Of TWO
"NT' ORDINANCES
Now Says Board of Works
Draft All Right, but
Premature.

City Counsel Spaulding Frazer said
today there was no question as to the
legality Of two ordinances regulating
jitney service, and that both q COM
mercial ordinance and Board of
Works ordinance could work without
conflicting.
There has been some misappre-
hension on the part of many In con-
nection with the veto of the mayor"
said Mr.. Frazer "As matter of
fact he did not intimate thatsthe Com
mon Council should have been the
proper body to provide certain regu-
lations. He held that the passage of
the ordinance was premature since
the Common Council had not decided
on certain license fees and other re-
quirements. There is no doubt but
that the Board of Works were with
in their rights in passing the ordin-
ance."
It was the general impression that
Mayor Thomas l.. Raymond vetoed
the Jitney ordinance because the
Board of Works were not acting
within their rights, but City Counsel

ANTi-DALS AND
NO BOSS LEAGUE
CLOSE QUARTERS
Most of Former Will Support
Republicans Latter
Still Defiant.

The headquarters maintained by
the No-Boss League and Anti-Dal or
ganizations were abandoned today
The "Antis," or at least the leaders
of that faction, have announced that
they will support the candidates
nominated by the Republicans, but
the No-Boss Leaguers have not yet
decided just what stand they will
take.
Only few of the members of the
No-Boss League put in an appear
ance at the meeting which was held
last night and at which the business
of the league was completed.
President Clarence H. Hedden was
given power to appoint COMMITTEES
of five members to d4cide what course
the league would pursue in its future
operations, and this committee will
meet some time next week to arrive
at a decision.
Following the meeting, a collection
was taken up to pay several small
bills which were outstanding against
the league. Charles N. Richardson,
the secretary, announced today that
the league has paid all its debts and
that it goes out of business as an or
ganization without owing a dollar to
anyone. which he considered re-
markable achievement for political
faction that was unsuccessful In its
fight. Mr. Richardson said that he
did not know whether the league
would support the No-Boss League
candidate who received the Progress
sive nomination.
Walter f. Simpson, secretary of the
Progressive County Committee, stated
that as soon as he received an official
list of the county committeeman who
were elected on Tuesday, he would
issue a call for a meeting for the pur-
pose of organizing tomorrow night.
He stated that the Progressives would
carry on an aggressive campaign to
try and elect their entire State, coun-
ty and city ticket.
