COURT HALTS
HOSE CONTRACT
Restraining Order Issued Upon
Application of TooIan-
Clark Makes Statement

Supreme Court Justice James J..
Bergen yesterday acted favorably
upon the application of Assistant
Prosecutor John L. Toolan for a
writ of certiorari against the action
of the aldermen in awarding a con-
tract for 5000 feet of fire hose to
the United States Rubber company.
The contract was awarded by the
unanimous vote of the board Mon
day night on the company's bid of
$1.40 per foot Notwithstanding the
fact that bid of $1.24 per foot on
different brand of hose was before
the board.
The writ serves as a restraining
order and prevents the fulfillment of
the contract. The order will be
served today on City Clerk Philip
p. Costllo, Mr.. Toolan announced
this morning. The writ is returnable
August 25, at which time a date
will be set for hearing in the mat
ter.
Mr.. Toolan, who was retained by
Robert V. Afflerbach, doing business
under the trade name of the Co.
operative Sales Service Company
and the maker of the S1.24 bid, yes
Cerudy SAID ne was INFORMED that
Alderman John j. Clark, chairman
of the fire committee, came to the
council meeting with the resolution
awarding the contract to the United
States Rubber Company in his poe
ket. The assistant prosecutor also
said it was evident that the u. S.
Rubber Company was to get the
award regardless of other bids.
Alderman CLARK, in a letter to the
Evening News, today makes state
ment, explaining his action, admit
ting he drew up and signed the reso-
luton drawn up prior to the meet
ing with the United States Rubber
Company named as the concern to
whom the contract should be
awarded.

in the number of farmers coming
here on the three market days every
week. However, the market is a
source of income for the city, each
farmer paying twenty-five cents per
market day. A falling off of forty
farmers a day means a loss to the
CITY of $40 a day or $50 a week. In
the course of a year this would
amount to $1,000 or more. A con-
tinued falling off of the number of
farmers attending the market will
show without a doubt that it is dis
satisfaction with the manner in
which the market is regulated by the
market committee of the Board of
Aldermen which is responsible.
Those who are complaining of the
present conditions at the market,
maintain that hucksters should not
be permitted in the farmers market
at all as they are not farmers. But
If the market committee sees fit to
permit them to sell their wares on
the same days as the farmers and
in the same spot, these dissatisfied
ones point out, they should be fore
ed to do business in a section apart
from that used by the farmers.
Various systems of conducting
the market have been used since
it was first started here in 1909. The
hucksters at one time were to be
found alongside of the farmers, that
is, arranged alternately. This did
not last long because of complaints
from those who could not distin-
guish the farmers from the huclS-
sters. The hucksters then were

ARE SHED
IN WASHINGTON
Crowds Pay Respects to Late
President Whose Body
Laid in State
THRoNGS VIEW CoRTEGE
Passing Along Historic Penn
Sylvania Ave.-Mrs. Harding
Received by Mrs. Coolidge

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 (By The
associated Press)-A swelling til;
of honors bore Warren Harding
today back over the road by which
he came. triumphant, to the pres
idency two crowded years ago foi
him the urge of ambition was ended
The compelling cali or duty stilled
IN death amid the tens of thousands
of his silent countrymen grouped
along the way, he passed in such
state as only the great dead of the
nation may know and beyond the
brief hour of the ceremony of so--
row there awaited for him rest
eternal on the soil that gave him
birth.
Down the wide avenue he was
carried today with marching legio1s
tramping ahead to lay him under
the dome of the capitol awhile e-e
he goes back to his native state to
stay forever.
That high resolve of duty nau
brought him death and with it tho
peace and quiet he loved, but which
he could set aside at the nations
call.
With Pershing riding ahead the
marching thousands of the escort
led the way, the steel of their ba, :
onets glittering above them. SOL
diers, sailors, marines and citizen
soldiers, all were there and behind
them came the new President, still
bowed in grief, that his high office
came at such a price. Came also
Two men who before him mad held
that Office, one to be stricken like
himself and so crippled in illne u
that he might not give himself as he
would to the sorrowrul duty of the
day. Behind these, in endless a.
American citizenry and the men
who keep the wheels Of a reat gov
ernment moving in tne huge, silent
buildings about.
The day of sorrow was ushered
in beneath a cloudless sky, but with
the hot haze of midsummer almost
obscuring the sun as it mounted the
East to look for the last time upon
Warren Harding, among the scenes
of his greatest labors. Now and
then, however, as the crowds of
watchers began to gather along the
funeral way, fitful breezes rustled a
benediction among the branches of
the elms and naples that line the
historic avenue.
Mrs. Harding, who re-crossed the
threshold of the White House but
short time before midnight after her
long journey homeward with the
dead, was up at 7:45 this morning.
Refreshed by several hours sleep she
renewed to the few close friends and
relatives about her in her house of
sorrow her determination to bear up
bravely through all the trying funer-
al hourS-a determination which
carried her three thousand miles
through scenes of sorrow which
never have been surpassed in the
nations history.

BAND CONCERTS
ARE ASSURED
One or Two More Besides
Those Financed by Alder
men is Likely Here

One or two more concerts under
the direction of the park department
besides those already to be given
with the appropriation made by the
Board of Aldermen Monday from
the civic appropriation fund will
probably be held during the summer
if the plans of the park commission
ers talked over at a special meeting
last night materialize. The sum of
$3.50 is already available and COM
missioners feel that a fund can be
raised through contributions among
the various plants and merchants Of
the city to defray the expenses of
the others.
Louis Y. Sosin, president of the
park board, was in touch with some
of the heads of plants about the city
this morning over the telephone and
all seemed to favor the idea of hav-
ing more concerts and that they
would join in if some one would
make the start for the funds.
The first concert decided upon by
the board last night was for next
Wednesday night at No. s school and
the following week would probably
be at No. school. A committee
composed of Soren P. Stark and Mrs.
S. H. Rostkowski was named to ar
range for the two concerts for which
the appropriation of the city will
pay for out of the money available.
A. A. Finkelstein, secretary of the
Y. M. H. A., has again come forward
with the band stand of the associa-
ton for the use of the bands at the
two concerts. The announcement Of
the band that is to play for the first
concert will be made later by the
committee. An effort is being made
to have the Elks band give one of
the concerts free as their offer made
to the park board.

LADDIE BOY SEES MASTER
FOR THE LAST Time TODAY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8: (By The
Associated Press)-Laddie Boy said
his last goodbye to his master in
the East Room of the White House
this morning, and there may be
some hard hearts who will say that
a dog couldn't know but 1t seemed
to those about him as if he did.
Mrs. Harding, who loves Laddie
Boy no less than her husband did,
told the attendant whose special
charge the pup has been, to take
him in the East Room for a moment
because he seemed to want to go.
Alertly he shifted the heavy air,
freighted with the fragrance of
funeral blooms, walked solemnly
around the bier lying under the
great crystal chandelier, and poked
his nose in the flowers, as If looking
for the master he knew was there
but couldn't see, and then turned
brown eyes on the White House at
taches with an inquiring look which
was too much for them to endure
without their own eyes turning misty.
Laddie Boy knew his master was
back in the house, but he seemed
to sense that for some reason he
couldn't find him. and like a good
dog he concluded there was nothing
to do but go back to his favorite
spot and wait, faithful to the end.

Market Than Year AGO

An investigation into conditions
existing at the so-called farmers
market, which in reality is a huck-
sters market as well, made as the
result of numerous complains to the
mayor by persons opposed to the
presence of the hucksters, reveals
the fact that thirty eight hucksters
take advantage of the open market
to dispose of their wares.
Records in the office of Sealer
of Weights and Measures Henry
loft, who is in charge at the mar
ket, show that he number of farn.-
ers attending the market at the
pres time is forty-five less than
the number coming to this city last
year. There has been no decrease in
the number of hucksters. This
may, or may not, serve as evidence
that dissatisfied farmers have ceased
coming to the market because of
the privileges given the hucksters
at the market.
The number of farmers bringing
their green goods into the open
market here at about this time last
year was 165. This year 120 farm
ers on one day is about the max
imum. 1t is known definitely tina.
some of the "old timers have stop
ped attending the market as they
did not believe the hucksters should
be given the consideration they are
receiving. ITS farmers market.
Let the farmers and only the farm
ers, sell their truck there" the
farmers and many resident say.
The scarcity of farm labor and the
dry weather this spring and summer
resulting in smaller yields or later
crops than usual, may have some
thing to do with the dropping off

News, Moore was on his way to
Woodbridge to take his uncle, Mr..
Kelly home. AS the automobile
reached several hundred feet before
the embankment, car from Wood
bridge was approaching with but one
dazzling headlight. Moore dimmed
the lights of his car and the fail
ure of the other car to dim his
light blinded him, causing the fatal
occurrence.
