The monument of John Alexander
Hill, the publisher, who died in his au-
tomobile on Monday while on his way
to his office in New York, was built by
himself. 1t stands today at Thirty
sixth street and Tenth avenue, New
York, towering thirteen stories high.
an office building, so modern and so
well equipped, that its insurance rate
is the lowest of any similar building
in this city and perhaps in this coun-
try. on the upper floors are the Hill
Publishing Company, of which he was
the president.
Mr.. Hill, when he came to build,
carried out his idea for expediting
work and safeguarding employees.
Many labor and time-saving devices
were built according to his designs.
In the building are published the
five weekly papers issued by the COM
pany-the Engineering and Mining
Journal, Engineering News, Power,
Coal Age, and the American Ma
chinist. The building was constructed
without wood, the entire equipment
except chairs being of iron or steel.
The offices are on the top floor, in
one great room taking up the entire
floor. Rubber tiling deadens the sound,
and on a mezzanine floor are forty
noiseless typewriters.
Equipped with Silencers.
The steel cabinets and the index
tables are covered with battleship
linoleum, which makes a good si-
lencer. Instead of casters on chairs
or desks, there are domes of silence.
"I will consider anything that is
better than what we are using" Mr..
Hill once told a salesman, and this
the constant watchfulness
of the head of the company to add to
his equipment and to substitute new
for old systems, He had chutes to
deliver waste paper, mail bags and
clippings from the operating rooms
to the basement Gonna ing nearly
every desk with cenNal switch
board.
In the offices the air has a delight
full crispness, though not a window is
open. Below the street level great
are drawing in and washing
the air and sending it through pipes
at the rate of thirty cubic feet min
ute for every person employed in the
building. Even the humidity is con-
trolled. The air is pumped into great
glass sided compartments, where it
passes through spray of water.
Mr.. Hills advice to his men was
always to be original rather than
good duplicates
In the composing the press and the
engine rooms and in the cutting and
binding departments are evidences of
his originality. The linotype machines
are enameled in white and the COM
posing rooms, the entire engine room
fixtures and the frames of the great
presses and binding machines have

NOISY DOGS AND.
CATS MUST co
South Orange Health officer
Would Exile Them from
Community.

Provided a recommendation con.
tanned in the annual report of Dr.
William L. Holt, health officer of
South Orange township. is carried out,
barking dogs and bowling cats will be
exilcd from the community. DIR. Holt
suggested that the board adopt an
ordinance requiring owners of dogs
and cats to restrain their pets from
making noises at night.
The recommendation followed the
fling of complaint by Father Peter,
o S. B., rector of st. Joseph's Church.
Hilton avenue. in the Hilton section.
DR.. Holt said the priest had reported
having been kept awake nights by
barking dogs. The adoption OF such an
ordinance is under advisement.
The work of Or. Holt during the
past year brought forth praise by
members of the board. and on recon-
mendation of Frederick o. Runyon.
his salary was increased from 1000
to $1,250 a year. DIR. Holt had re-
quested the increase at a previous
meeting. The salary of Township
Clerk Edward r. Arcularius as sec
retary of the Board of Health. was
increased from $3.50 to $500 a year
DR.. G. Herbert Taylor, township
physician. complained of soft coal
smoke from the factory of the Silcox,
Miller Company. Parker avenue,
Maplewood section. DIR. Holt said he
believed there is no State law by
which the manufacturing concern
could be made to check the alleged
nuisance. On motion of Mr.. Runyon
the clerk was authorized to write a
letter requesting the company to look
into the matter and reply to the
board.
DR.. Holt i'm his report suggested
that the building inspector be also
made plumbing inspector. in view of
the fact. he said, the recently ap-
pointed building inspector possesses
more practical knowledge of building
than he. He also asserted that the
plumbing inspection work had inter-
fered with his duties as health officer
and also with his clerical and labora-
tory work.
Regarding the supervision of milk
supply i'm the township, DR.. Holt
stated in his annual report that two
important phases of the work had been
improved. These, he said were the
adoption of a new milk ordinance and
examination once a month or oftener
of samples from all fifteen dairymen
supplying the township by the health
officer in the new municipal labora-
tory.
Only only two out of five local
dairymen originally listed in the +
class have remained there. while three
others raised the standard of their
product and were placed in the A
class.
The report showed that only two
had fallen from grade A and that
there is a general tendency of those
two being restored to their former
rank in a short time.
The township is to be congratulated
on having such an elaborately well
equipped health laboratory in the
building, DR.. Holt said in
his report. 1t is not only used, he
said, for the examination of milk
and water to determine bacterial
counts, but is also utilized to examine
throat cultures for diphtheria and
blood for malaria and typhoid and
other private work by local physi-
clans.

Bologna and Oranges Loot
of Thief Who Robbed Store

Two and a half pounds of bologna
and one dozen oranges comprised the
loot, as far as could be ascertained. of
a burglar who gained entrance to the
grocery and butcher establishment of
Barr Brothers. at 491 Franklin ave-
nue., Nutley. last night.
Entrance was gained by forcing the
bolt on q side door. Evidence of an
attempt to open the front door was
observed this morning by Harry
Maybe, manager of the store, who
discovered the theft. The side door
was found open this morning. 1t is
probable that the thief was frightened
away as the cash drawer, which con-
tanned a small amount of change, was
left open but the money was left un-
touched.

for the Hill Publishing Company"
Mr.. Hill was proud of the machine
used for assembling the various sec
tions of volumes to be published, ana
carrying them, when assembled, to
the gluing machine, the binder and
the trimming machines. This assem-
bling machine was said to embody

Mr. Hill also devised helpful in

publications.
The good Mr.. Hill did lives after
him and is to be seen in the content
ment and comfort of the 465 employees,
who speak of him not only as their
employer but also as their friend.
Evidences of Mr.. Hills care are to be
seen in the splendid washrooms, the
well-equipped restaurant, the roof
garden. where the boys play ball, the
girls dance or knit. A testimony OF
his employees feelings is to be found
in the beautiful bronze and stone
drinking fountain and tablet pre-
scented to him by the employees.
One keynote of his success was his
intimate personal knowledge of each
of his many employees. He settled
questions that were personal rather
than business, and in every instance
made a friend. His office was the
only private Office in the concern. but
that was not really private, for there
was no latch o. lock on the door ana
the door was never shut. He made
the Hill Publishing Company de-
mocracy. He delighted in the en-
ployes referring to him as the odd
Man."
Mr. Hills funeral took place this
afternoon from his home, so Mum

were conducted by Rev. Fred Clare

WEREN'T
CLEVER ENOUGH
Employees Who Robbed Firm
Classified as Trying to Steal
Within the Law.

In finding Jacob Wanner and
Eugene Lea Bouf. of Belleville, guilty
of the larceny of 81, 500 worth of rubber
goods from their former employers,
the Hardman Rubber Company, Judge
Abram Klenert, in the Court of Spe-
cial Sessions, late yesterday after
noon, declared that, in his opinion.
they had tried to stay within the
law" in stealing the goods and had
been caught.
ITS a pity said the court, that
good, respectable men, who have
worked so long for a firm, should at
tempt to commit a crime like this.
I'm sorry for you. | have to find you
guilty. It's too bad"
Wanner was the foreman, and Lea
Bouf the shipping clerk, at the time
of the alleged crime, December J.,
1914. Wanner arranged with Ira
Henry, superintendent at the Hard
man plant, which is also in Belleville,
to purchase three barrels of imperfect
rubber goods that had been standing
in the shipping room for months.
According to Wanner, he used the
name of friend i'm buying the goods,
because the firm would not sell to an
employe. Wanner testified that it
was his money that paid for the
goods, and that he directed Lea Bout
to ship them to his (Wanner's) nome,
where later Wanner and Lea Bout
their wives and others worked on
them at night, and after several
months labor made the goods
syringes mostly. as good as new.
Wanner said the goods were sold as
imperfect and that he paid $42 for the
lot. Henry, he said, knew of the con-
dition of the stuff and was glad to gel
rid of it.
Henry and the officials of the Hard
man plant claimed that Wanner ano
Bouf did not take the goods that were
sold to them, but substituted perfeci
goods. The goods that the defendant
got. they said, were worth more thar
81, 500 and would never have beer
sold at the price they were sold tt
Wanner's friend Tucker
The defendants exhibited the bill
OF sale, which read "miXed rubber
goods and said nothing about
"scrap." This showed. they claimed
that Henry knew it was not scrap he
was selling. Tucker" the man
Wanner said he had authorized to
use his name in purchasing the
goods, was not in court, although
| Wanner had said he was friend OF
| fifty years standing.
The manner in which the whole
transaction was carried through, the
court said. at the close of the case
which was tried without jury
| showed that the defendants were
guilty and had tried to cover them
selves up by the. bill of sale" I'll
looks like a case of trying to stay
within the law and getting nipped.'
