Miller has authorized the expenditure
Of $22,687 900 more for school teachers
salaries than did Governor Smith.
! Duriag the Smith administration IL
was decided to build vehicular tun-
mel connecting New York and New
Jersey. and $2,ooo,oOo was, appropriated
to start the project. The Miller ad-
mihistration has appropriated $40, $780,
600 to continue. the work. The deci-
sion to build the tunnel was made by
the Smith administration. Shall we
say that Governor Miller is extrava-
CANT because he has allowed $500 600
more than did his predecessor to exc
cute project approved and started
By his predecessor?
To satisfy the requirements Of the
constitution and to enable the state
to obtain the benefit Of moneys ap-
proprated by the Federal government
to build Federal post roads, it was found
necessary to appropriate state moneys
to cover the Federal governments share
before contracts were let, even though
the Federal government would imme-
diately reimburse the state, dollar for
dollar, upon the completion of road
During Governor Smiths term $780,
900 was appropriated for this purpose.
During Governor Miller's term $14,-
10000 has been appropriated. The
arrangement isypurely to satisfy con-
stitutional requirement that no con-
tract or obligation shall be made un-
less there be an available appropria-
tion. While the state has paid, or will
actually pay out Of it's treasury this
sum Of money, it will be reimbursed,
dollar for dollar, by the Federal gov
ernment, and the cost to the taxpayers
will be nothing.

ALL VETERANS PUT ON TOP
OF CIVIL SERVICE LIST

TRENTON. June 14.-Whether
they have since recovered or not,
veterans of the world war who have
Lassed a civil service examination
are entitled to be placed at the top
of the eligible list, in preference TO
all others, according to an opinion
of the 1922 law giving such veterans
first place Just rendered the civil
service commission by Attorney
General McCran. The attorney gen
eral holds that the act intended to
reward ex-service men who can
prove they were disabled in the
course of the war, whether they re-
covered before taking the test or
not.
The act entitled such disabled or
formerly disabled men TO get the APP
pointment, if they make the passing
grade, and provided they possess
the business capacity necessary to
discharge the duties of the particu-
lar position involved. Thus a dis
abled wet" who just makes the
passing mark, is supposed TO get
the job no matter how high other
marks are. provided he is not obvi-
ously unsuited for the position.

LOCAL MAN NOT
IN MURDER CASE
William Parkstrom, Animal
Trainer, Cleared in "Hon-
est John" Brunen Case

Late deveSopments in the murder
case of Honest John" T. Brunen,
the wealthy Snowman at his home in
Riverside in March, have completely
eliminated William Parkstrom, of
Gordon street, this city, from the
case. according to Prosecutor KEEL
sey.
Suspicion rested on Parkstrom
shortly after the murder, when 1t
was learned that a duel had occur
red between Parkstrom and the
gifts parents on Christmas night.
This duel was the result of an elope-
ment with Hazel Brunen, the daugh-
ter of Brunen and Parkstrom, the
marriage being later annuled, when
Brunen claimed his daughter was
under age.
Parkstrom is a hon trainer by pro-
fession and it was while travelling
with Brunen's shows that he met the
daughter who was selling tickets.
Captain Lawrence A. Long of the
local detective force Investigated the
case here for the Burlington county
authorities and satisfied himself and
the authorities that Parkstrom was
in this city at the time the murder
was committed. Parkstrom denied
TO the police that a duel had occur
red between himself and the girls
parent as reported.
Mrs. Brunen's arrest, Detective
Parker revealed, was decided upon
when Powell in celebrating on his
confession of a few months ago,
involved her and two other women.
Parker is in the possession of one
of the names, a circus performer,
and a close friend of Moore.
The other woman is known as the
girl with the auburn hair. She re-
Gently was named by Powell al the
other woman who was in the Bru-
men home when the murder oc-
Cured.
The new characters were brought
into Powell's confession recently af-
ter he had taken a kindness cure
which completely restored him from
the breakdown oon after he was
arrested.
Parker took him on auto rides
and fishing trips and then Powell
asked for writing material 10 COM
plete his confession.
