Whether Sheriff Ralph B. Schmidt

PEOPLE TAKE Us
ASAJ0KE,' SAYS
HUGHES TO WOLF
Passaic AssembIyman Warns
Essex Member He Is Contrib
uting to Popular Opinion.
From q STAR Correspondents.

TRENTON, March 10.-The present
session of the Legislature was char
acterized as joke and the laughing
william Hughes, of Passaic, today.
He said the people of the State were
disgusted by the manner in which
legislators are handling the business
before them. Few of them take any
interest In their work, he said, and,
in his opinion. 1t was high time they
did.
The comment was prompted by a
request made by Assemblyman H.
Edward Wolf, of Essex, to be ex-
cused from the afternoon session. The
House was under call. The motion
had been made to take recess for an
hour. Mr.. Wolf asked unanimous
consent to be let off for a business
! reason. and the request met with a
storm of objections, which resulted in
Mr. Wolf withdrawing his request.
"The chances are Wolf will start
for a train as soon as he gets OUT
said Assemblyman Hughes IF he is
NOT In his seat when the House re-
convenes this afternoon I'll see to 1t
that the sergeant-at-arms goes after
him. even if he has to go to Newark
to get him.
"There is business Of the utmost
Importance before the Legislature" !"
Mr. Hughes continued. Some people
seem to think that they can get away
with most anything. There must be
a stop put to this practice, and the
sooner we realize that fact the better
II will be for all concerned"

So Declares Mayor Raymond,
Concerning Orange Street
Contract Veto.

According to Colonel James W.
Howard, Mayor Raymond will veto
the resolution to pave Orange street,
from First to Fourteenth street, with
wood block. II the contract In awarded
by the Board of Works tomorrow.
The mayor. when seen today, was
more than indignant at the statement
given out by Colonel Howard and
promised to have something interest
ing to say within a day or tho on the
subject of many OF his so-called ad-
visors.
II know nothing of any intended
veto,' said the mayor. The matter
has not been officially called to my at
tention as yet. Colonel Howard has
no right to inform the public as to
what intend to do. l keep my own
counsel and Colonel Howard is in the
dark as much as any other private
Citizen

Counsel Spaulding Frazer for the past
several weeks, explaining to him al

man. who has interested himself In
public government" said Mr.. Howard.
'He is against all closed specifica-
tions and openely in favor of free Md
ding. Mayor Raymond vetoed the
Broad street contract and I am sure
that Mayor Raymond will refuse his
signature to the revolution calling for
the pavement of Orange stree,.
"I have shown the Mayor where
Newark pays more fo~ paving than
any other city in the country. This
must be stopped. The investigation
conducted by New York officials ap-
plies 20 Newark and there I assisted
materially In the work. My facs and
figures are right and the mayor is to
stand by me by vetoing the resoiu-
tion."
The Board Of Works last week re-
ceived six bids for the paving of Or
ange street. There Is nothing definite
as to what course the resolution
awarding the contract will take at to-

CRAIG, |NCOURT,
UNDISMAYED BY
MURDER CHARGE
Slayer of Miss Reeve and Mrs.
Clark Arraigned in Fourth
Precinct.
POLICE ATTEMPT TO BAR
PRESS PHOTOGRAPHERS
Prisoner Appeared Strong and
Showed Only Slight Signs
of Nervousness.

Hiram E. Craig, OF Jersey City, was
arraigned before Judge Mancusi-
Ungaro in the Fourth Precinct Court
today for the murder of Miss Hetty
A. Reeve and Mrs. Mamie Clark in
their home at 352 South Orange ave-
nue. on the morning of February 20,
and was held without bail to await
the action OF the grand jury.
Craig looked strong walking with q
firm step and nodding Pleasantly to
one or two recent acduaintances, and
when he left the courtroom for head
quarters to be booked he was smoking
a cigar and smiling. The court pro-
ceedings were over quickly. but the
police who had Craig in custody
wasted over an hour and ha.f dodg-
ing the newspaper photographers.
The officials did this. apparently,
according to instructions from their
superiors, although Craig himself had
no objection to being photographed.
AS he stepped out of the ambulance
on his way into court he pulled his
hat down over his eyes, but later said
he had no objection to giving the
photographers a good snapshot at
him. The police, however, would not
permit It,
Promptly at $3.50 o'clock Craig, IN
custody of Lieutenants Farrell and
Ryan and Detective Rath. left the
City Hospital in the automobile for
police headquarters. where Craig was
booked and then brought at or.ce to
the Fourth Precinct Court. Not
more than twenty-five persons were
in the court room, and apparently
no friend of the prisoner was among
them. Neither was he represented
by counsel.
Clear Eye and Firm Step.
Craig's eye was clear and his step
firm, as he alighted from the auto
mobile and crossed the sidewalk He
tween Detectives Farrell and Ryan,
with Rath behind him. The pl1otog-
raphers were waiting for the party
and just as they were about u
SHOOT" Craig pulled his hat over
his eyes, apparently acting upon q
suggestion from some one. None OF
the police shielded their faces from
the carneras, however.
The partyshad the right of wsr lr
the court room and Craig was led
at once to the bar, while Clerk VIII
lam A. Yuill read the two complaints
as ainst him, the first charging him
with the wilful murder Of Hetty A
Reeve and the other charging him
with the wilful murder of Mamie
Clark.
The clerk read the complaints In
clear voice and all the while CRAIG
stood on his left foot and leaned
rather heavily on the railing in front
of him. His right foot would not
keep still. but that was the only sign
of nervousness displayed, and all
through the reading during which he
looked the clerk in the face. When
the clerk finished, Judge Mancu5l-
Ungaro said without ball." and nc
other word was uttered.
AS the three policemen directed the
prisoner to the retiring room Craig s
eye caught that OF an officer he knew
and he said cheerfully, Hello. You
here!"
How are you feeling?" asked the
officer.

into the retiring room
