CHARITIES DEPARTMENT
 SUBMITS ITS REPORT

The annual report of the Depart ment of Public Charities was sub- mitted to Mayor Wilson this morning following a meeting of the board last evening at which the final touches were added.
 The recapitulation of the expendi- lures of the year show a total of $2S4,796.21. Among the larger items in the summary are outdoor relief, $29,9S4.15; stable and farm expenses, $39,S96.72; salaries, Hillside Home, 29,427.7S; Hillside specials, S25,- 34931, and clothing and provisions, s33,1s7.76.

EXPECT SHAKEUP
 AROUND JUNE 1
Much Depends On Whether Or Not Redgate
 Resigns

That the turmoil in the police de- partment will be adjusted about June 1, is the belief generally expressed in
 inside circles" It is reported that the Police Commissioners in conjunc- tion with Mayor Wilson, have been working steadily and holding frequent meetings of late for the purpose of mapping out the changes which are to be made.
 : The entire matter evidently rests upon the final outcome of the Redgate case. If the suspended superintes- dent is returned to duty and does not voluntarily resign, changes and ap- pointments will probably be few.
 Should Redgate resign after being reinStated, prom otions and changes will be general all along the line. At the present time there are a number of vacancies to be filled, and some action will have to be taken whether or not the superintendent is returned to duty.
 That the retirement of several police officials is also being ssidered by the commissioners, is another persist ent rumor. In some circles it is be- heved that a number of high officials of the department will be retired to make way for younger men, but this information is not officially substan- tiated in any way. The possibility of some action of this sort being taken, has not been overlooked by some. Ii is generally conceded, however, that June 1 will see a decided sfiake-up in the departm ent, and that action will not be deferred beyond that date.

New equipment required by rail- roads to meet minimum needs is es- timated by the Interstate Commerce Commission at 2,O0O locomotives and 100000 freight cars, including 10000 refrigerator cars. The commission estimated that equipment already or dered and to cost s125, 5,o00,00O rep resented probably less than 25 per cent. of that needed.

 Since the distribution of the re- volving fund by cooperative action with the railroads has proven inn practicable, the commission said, al- location of the $125, 900 for equipment will be made. according to the percentage which the standard return of a company bears to the total standard return of all the rail- roads In referring to the oppoSi- tion to this plan by the national as sociation owners of railroad securi-

POLICE BUSY ON IMPORTANT CLUE Coroner's Hearing Points to Money As Crime
 Motive

Detective Sergeant George Simon, of the local police and Sergeant Frank Virelli, of the State Police, were busy today running down a new and important clue in the StaniSlow Sckineovich murder case. It is re- ported that a woman who may give the police some valuable information on the killing has been located, and the arrest of the murderers is expect ed at any time.
 The discovery of a woman in the case is said to be the most important clue which the police have uncovered since Sckineoviell's mutilated body was discovered last Saturday morn ing, the banks of the Rooster river in Fairfield. The identity of the woman has not been disclosed by the police, but it is understood that she is an out-of-town resident.
 The possibility that the money Stanislaw Sckineovich had on his per son last Friday night when he was brutally murdered in Fairfield might have been the motive for the crime was brought out by Coroner John J. Phelan when the inquest was re- sumed today
 It was also brought out that the deceased had had some trouble with one Joseph Miskofski, who worked in the same room in Cranes factory some time ago and that the dead man had complained to his friends that MiskofSki had been telling different people that Sckineovich was a drunk ard and was no good and that the men had been in the habit of making threats to each other with their
