of New Brunswick, on the charge Of

ing mans body and the collection of
evidence which brought County Prose-
cutor Joseph E. Strickler to the con-
clusion that he was killed by the phyA-

The ques- ton of taking an appeal from the de- cision of Judge H. A. Sharpe, who, on Saturday, issued an order to the board to the effect that the claims were lawful and valid and must be paid, was consid- cred, and the prevailing opinion seemed to coincide with Judge Sharpe's views that the supreme court in it's ruling had given Solicitor Black the right to appoint assistants and that the law fixed the manner in which they were to be paid. It was shown taht all the provisions of the law had been compiled with
 At the close of the conference Dr. R. r. Lovelady made motion that no ap- peal to thes upreme court be taken. This was seconded by Frank Hewitt and Dr. Vines, and on the vote being taken all the members voted for the motion.

 SAFES CRUDE WORK

Detectives are puzzled as the 1e- suit of the tampering with the huge safes in the Wimberly & Thomas Hardware company and the Drennen Hardware company on First avenue between Twentieth and Twenty fiji st streets sometime early yesterday morning. The yeggmen entered the stores through the skylight
 The case was reported to the detec- tive department yesterday morning.
 The detectives maintain that it is the work of amateurs who, after gain ing entrance into the stores. were un- able to do anything with the safes. 1t could be plainly seen where the yeggmen worked on the safe, but whether they were frightened away or gave up the job remains to be solved.
 Nothing in the stores except the safes were bothered. It is apparent that the yeggmen were looking for money.
 The safes are located in the rear of the stores and cannot be seen from the street Detectives are working on the case, but no arrests had been made up to an early hour this morning.
