Did Bacon Write PLAYS?

Fol Il hundred years there have been
some-yes, many-persons who believe
that Shakespeare did not write the
plays attributed to him, saving that
they We're the product of the pen Of
Sir Francis Bacon. However. it has
been proved to the complete satisfac-
tion OF great majority of scholars
that the Bard of Avon did write all of
the plays. although there remain some
who stick to the theory that it would
have been impossible for Shakespeare.

RAYMOND ADHERES TO
HEALTH BOARD STAND
Says If Inquiry Shows Proof OF
Necessity He Will Indorse
Wage Increase.

In respect to his stand in regard to
the increase in salary granted city
Chemist Herbert y. Baldwin and DR..
julius S. Levy, director Of child hy-
piene. By the Board of Health, Mayor
Raymond said, today, he does not
favor the advances and holds to the
position he has taken all along.
The members OF the board are cognl-
zant of his stand, he declared, and do
not feel HAT they are being antagon-
lied because he does not approve of
the salary increases.
The mayor holds to the belief that
the increase ,ranted Dr. Baldwin,
which presumably WAS made to allow
him TO purchase new equipment,
could be Used for the purchase of
equipment for the city. He is in favor
of the city owning its own chemistry
department.
Further the mayor called attention
TO the fact that q survey of the de-
n3rtmeuts Of the Board of Health is
now being made and if it shows that
either Dr Baldwin or DR.. Levy should
receive increases for the work they
are now doing his attitude in the
matter may undergo a change.
The mayor added that he is an en-
thusiast in regard to child hygiene
work and would be only too glad to
see that department increase the lati-
tude of its work, but he pointed out,
DR.. Levy, who is in charge of 1t was
granted an increase in salary only six
months ago.

STRIKE IS ON
AT NEW HOTEL
PIasterers Also Out ON Public
Service TerminaI-Dispute
Between Labor Unions.

More than 100 plasterers employed
on the Robert Treat Hotel and Pub
lie Service Terminal buildings in
Park place, went on strike today over
a dispute as to the number of New
arkefs to be employed. Seventy lab
orers were thrown out of work by the
action of the plasterers.
Robert Donaldson, foreman for Nc
Nulty Brothers. a New York contract
ing firm which has both jobs, said
that the strike was not serious and
probably would be adjusted at a CON
ference later today.
1t was agreed between the New
York and Newark unions that each
should supply one-half of the force.
Yesterday it was found that of the
dfty-six men working in the hotel
there were eight more New Workers
than Newarkers and ON the Public
Service building where ffty-two were
at work the New Workers had six
more than the Newarkers.
An incidental demand was made
by the Newarkers for thirty cents a
day more while employed on the same
job as the New Workers. The New
York scale calls for $3.50 per day 1nd
the Newark scale for $50.

CORK WORKS
CHECK POINT
OF A DISPUTE
Trustee Matthews and Presi-
dent BiertuenpfeI Claim Own
ership to So, 3,3o5.57.

The question of ownership of GER
titled check for $3,308.57 was tbrashed
out at a further hearing in the af-
fairs of the Newark Cork Works,
bankrnpts, in Referee Edwin G..
Adams section of the bankruptcy
court today. John A. Matthews, the
trustee, and Albert H. Biertuempfel
president of the cork works, both
claim ownership of the check. Ref
cree Adams reserved decision.
The check in question was given
by Mr.. Biertuempfel to the Royal In
demnity Company, of New York, as
security for bond furnished b1 the
latter concern.
The bond was to cover an appeal in
law suit brought against the cork
concern. Charles II. Miller, one of
the stockholders of the company,
secured a judgment for $4,000 against
the cork works in the fall of 1914 in
the Essex County Circuit Court. The
case was appealed to the Supreme
Court, which reversed the decision of
the lower court. Consequently, the
check for $3,30S.57. which was to cover
the original judgment of $4,000 and
the court costs of the appeal is still
in possession of the indemnity COM
pany.
Says Company Is Solvent.
Samuel Kessler. attorney for the
trustee, introduced evidence to prove
that the cork concern was inSolYent
at the time the check was issued. He
also offered in evidence q report pre-
pared by an expert accountant, who
went over the books for the benefit of
creditors on February 27, 1915. The
report showed the liabilities of the
concern to be $4,000 in access of the
assets.
Questioned on the stand by Referee
Adams, Mr.. Biertuempfel said he did
not think the deficit at that time
amounted to $4,000.
II did not think the loss sustained
in the fire would amount to more than
a couple of thousand dollars after We
collected the insurance and had the
damaged machinery repaired, Mr.
Biertuenpfel said. When questioned
more closely by the referee, the for
mer president of the cork works said
he did not know just what the loss
caused by the fire was. The plant of
the cork company was wiped out by
fire on November u, 1914.
A claim for s7Si.67 was filed with the
referee by the law firm Of McDermott
&c Enright, of Jersey City. for services
rendered to Mr.. Biertuempfel in his
appeal of the lawsuit. The claim is
contingent ON whether Referee Adams
awards the s3,30s.57 to the alleged
bankrupt or to the trustee. If the
referee decides in favor of Mr.. Bier
tuesnpfel the law firm asks that the
amount of their fee be paid out of this
fund

SALE APPROVED
Vice-ChancelIor Howell Signs
Order-Final Transaction Is
Set for Friday.

e-Chancellor Howell today
signed an order approving the sale of
the Newark Daily Advertiser Pub
fishing Company to William Wallace
Chapin, of New York, for 1926, 900. Mr.
Chaplin now has three days in which
to complete the purchase. He an
nounced he would not take possession
until that time had elapsed. He said,
however, he was ready at any time
to do so, but only deferred the COM
Dletion of his contract i'm compliance
with the terms of the sale.
At the time Vice Chancellor Howell
signed the order a chance remark
made by Mr.. Hood developed the fact
that a proceeding instituted in
Chancery by the Fidelity Trust Com
pany will seriously affect the claims
Of the holders of 100000 worth of
bonds of the publishing company, This
proceeding attacks the validity of the
trust mortgage made to secure the
bondholders, and which makes them
prior claimants on the publishing
company's estate.
Louis Hood counsel for the Fidelity
Trust Company, receiver for the pub
fishing company, moving the approval
of the sale, informed the vice-chau-
cellor that all of the Dondnolders had
agreed that the receiver should hold
the moneys obtained, and with the
consent of the court this would be
done, the final distribution being
made subject to the approval Of the
vice chancellor, when all details of
the claims had been cleared up.
A number of the bondholders and
creditors of the publishing company
were represented in court by counsel.
Those who were present included ::
John r. Hardin. representing julius (.
Rippel, and other creditors; Clarence
$. Blake, solicitor for the America n
National Bank. and Judge Thomas a
Davis, representing Edwin NJ. Hatch.
Some of the bondholders were not rep
resented.
The proceedings were very brief.
