NETCONG CASHIER
GETS FIVE YEARS
J. Frank Best, Embezzler. Will
Be Given Three Years Off
for Good Behavior.
[Slieelnl to the Evening Slar.l
TRENTON, April 16.—J. Prank
Best, cashier of the Citizens' Na
tional Rank of Netcong, was sen
tenced to flve years in the New Jer
sey State prison yesterday by Judge
Haight in the United State District
Court. Best was sentenced for mis
applying and embezzling $7,500 of the
funds of the hank.
Judge Haight announced that he
would seek a pardon for Best from
the President of the United States in
two years’ time, provided Best is a
model prisoner, and no further spec- j
ulation deals In which he figured are |
discovered involving him. Judge
Haight was deeply affected when lie
sentenced Best. Ho said he would
prefetr to impose a lighter sentence
than the law prescribed, because of
the unfortunate circumstances in
which the prisoner left his wife and ,
child. The Judge said he believed It
was Best’s intention to place the I
money he misappropriated, back in
the hank again tint the I:(,w conferred
no discretion in the court to suspend
sentence in a serious situation of this
kind. The court further pointed out
that if the bank had not been secured
against losses by a bond, the Netcong
institution might have been wrecked
financially.
Best appeared in court for sentence
without counsel, lie explained each
transaction to the court involving 1he
tise of the bank’s funds nnd denied
ho took anv actual cash from tho
bunk but simply transfered deposits
to assist the New Jersey Arnold
Damper Company, a concern in which
he was secretary and treasurer.
Judge Haight inquired of Best if it
was true hr visited New York each
week to see another woman. Best
denied tills positively. ”1 have been
faithful, mentally and physically, to
rny wife,” he said. Best broke his
eyeglasses before coming into court
yesterday, and after sentence
was imposed he asked to be allowed
to visit an eye specialist to have his
glasses repaired. He complained of
bis eyesight being affected by the loss
of the glasses. Judge Haight said the
prison authorities would extend Best
that privilege after lie was ndmitted
ti the institution.
Tho indictment against Best
charged that on May 21, 1912, he mis- j
applied $2,500 of the bank’s funds by
crediting Hint amount to the New
Jersey Arnold Damper Company. On
April 26, 1912, It was charged he em
bezzled $19,996.27 nnd misapplied $450
of tho funds on April 22, nnd $462 on
April 17.

TWELVE DROWN AS
TWO VESSELS SINK

housing and decks, and rockets were
being sent up. To attempt to steer
the vessel was madness, so the helm
was abandoned and the schooner
leaped from the waters or plunged
down or shot this way or that as
wind and waves raged. Always, how
ever. the relentless northeast gale
was driving her down the coast, back
over the course she had slowly and
painfully traversed earlier in the
day.
When Captain Hardy realized the
danger that the shifting cargo of
lumber brought to his crew he or
dered all hands to seek safety in the 1
rigging. He aided his wife to creep !
up the braces and lashed her secure
ly in place. Maikuson he directed to j
remain on the deck to keep the sig
nal lights ablaze and send up the
rockets.
The sails of the vessel had been
torn to shreds and were flapping
about in the high wind, endangering
those aboard ns they clung to their
perilous perches. Broken ropes also
were whirling about, threatening to
lasso the members of the crew and
drag them from the rigging.
As the schooner shot down the
coast persons living along the shore
were attracted by her signals of dis
tress. The beach was alive with pee- j
pie endeavoring to penetrate the veil \
of the darkness and rain and catch j
a glimpse of the vessel. Her rockets j
and lights, however, furnished them
with their only means of determining
her position. Soon bonfires were
built near the water's edge, and these,
with automobile searchlights that
were turned in the direction of the
sea, enabled the spectators to dis
cern the dim outlines of the doomed
vessel. A procession of automobiles
was advancing along the shore roads
with the BChowner.
Slowly the Buckley was driven
toward Long Branch. Life-savers
front the Monmouth Beach life-saving
station, under Captain William
Greene, and from the Takanasse sta- I
lion, under Captain William Van j
Brunt, had been sumoned and were
hurrying their apparatus in the di
rection of the schooner’s signal lights.
The wind and currents kept the
schooner well off shore until she ap
proached Long Branch. Then, by the
light of the life savers' searchlights
and the bonfires along the beach,
spectators saw the vessel turn and
shoot with great speed in the direc- |
tion of the sandbar off North Broad- ;
way and Ocean avenue, Long Branch.
8<,hooii('r Broken In Two.
The vessel struck nhuut three hun
dred feet from the shore. Her bow
was stove in and she seemed to be
broken in two. Her cargo of lumber
kept her afloat, however, although
she was speedily losing her freight
as the heavy surf broke over her.
Captain Hardy, his wife and tHe
members of the crew could be seen
clambering about on» the rigging. It
was not known on shore thut a wom
an was aboard the schooner, until the
lone survivor was revived in the Mon
mouth Hospital and told briefly of
the wreck.
As the vessel shot inshore, the life
savers tried to reach her with the
breeches buoy. Time after time they
fired the guns, only to miss the ship.
Despairing of obtaining help from this
source those on board the vessel fin
ally started down the rigging to
launch a life-boat. As they reached
the decks and started to unlimber the
obat a terrific wave broke over th«
vessel. Practically the whole rigging
was carried away, and all but one
seaman, Maikuson, were carried over
hoard. The lifeboat was caught in the
swirl of the waters and carried to the
shore to he smashed to bits.
Then a lucky shot from the breeches
buoy line reached the vessel and the
rope was entwined around Maikuson’s
body. He was dragged ashore and
taken to the hospital. There it was
found both his shoulders and his right
leg were broken. His body was
bruised and cut, but the surgeons
could find no evidence of Internal In
juries.
[Special to the Evening star.l
SOUTH AMBOY, April 16.—The steel
tugboat Arles, of New London, Conn.,
was dragged under water yesterday
afternoon when the Pequod, a barge
she was towing, was sheered around
by the high wind and plunged under
the waves. Two of the Aries's crew
were drowned. The accident hap
pened off the great beds light.
George Marsdale, a fireman, of
Stafford Springs, Conn., and Wallace
Hodges, a decknand, of New Lon

BOARD SPLIT ON
PUPILS’ SAFETY
President of Madison Body,
Angered, Will Push Needed
Fire Protection.
|Special to the Evening Star.J
MADISON, April 16.—Apparently
angered by the evident disregard of
the building committee for his wishes,
the resolution passed at the district
meeting of the voters, and the opinion
of the inspector of the State Depart
ment of Education to the effect that
the conditions for the prevention of
loss of life by fire in the Green ave
nue buildings are not satisfactory,
President Eli G. Partridge, of the
Board of Education, at an adjourned
meeting last evening said that he
would report the matter to the State
department and recommend that they
take action In the matter.
At the last meeting of the board
a week ago the president referred this
matter to the building committee for
a definite report at last night’s ses
sion. The contention was that the
fire protection facilities In the new
building on Green avenue are inade
quate. Mr. Van Etten, speaking for
the building committee lust evening,
said that they were not convinced
that the building in question is not
safe. He proposed that a committee
of three be appointed to look into
conditions there and made a report
to the building committee. He sug
gested for members of this commit
tee Fire Chief Samuel A. Gruver and
former Fire Chiefs John B. McGrath
and Alfred P. Smith. He stated that
he believed that tlfese men would
pass fair judgment on the building
and that the building committee
would make a definite report on the
strength of the committee's invest!
gation at the next meeting. Although
strongly opposed by Mr. Partridge
this recommendation was adopted.
Tlio president stated that the build
ing committee has had a year and a
half to think the matter over—it
being that time s'nce the inspection
was made by the State a.nd the con
dition declared “abominable.’’ “If the
committee does not report some defi
nite plan tonight,” he said, “I shall
fee! it my duty to report the matter |
to the State department and let them!
take the necessary action.
Report Won’t Convince Him.
“I know what the conditions are
there,” he said, “and if th's commit
tee should make a report contrary to
what I believe, it will not change me
ir their report is not in keeping with
what I know to be true, 1 do not
want it, and if it merely corroborates
what wo know, it is a waste of time.
Mr. Van Etten interposed that the
State has not condemned the building
ard that there is no ground for say
ing that It is not safe. Mr. Cook
stated that there are no regulations
covering buildings already built, but
that there are specifications in cases,
where schools are to he newly erect
ed.
A communication was received from
the board of public improvement stat
ing that it was the opinion of the
board that something should be done
to provide better lire protection and
that if the board has 'not the neces
sary funds a special meeting should
bo called.
Suggests Fireproof Poors.
Mr. Partridge stated if a fire oc
cr rred m the lower part of the
building that those In the seventh
grade room could not escape. Mr.
Van Etten suggested that to remedy
this fire-pi'Oof doors be bplaced in
the hallways.
The resignation of Miss Carrie N.
Dunaway as teacher of the eighth
grade was accepted, and Miss Adeie
ltussel elected to the teaching force
of the school at a salary of *75 per
month. She will begin in the fall
term.
A motion made by Mr. Cook to the
effect that a schedule of salaries,
which he submitted on the part of the
teachers’ committee, be adopted for
the coming year, caused much discus,
sion. His motion also embodied the
request that Superintendent Godfrey
recommend teachers to fill any vacan
cies that might occur in the teaching
force.
Mr. Partridge objected strenuously
to this resolution. First he divided
the two purposes of the resolution.
He further stated that this resolution
was an attempt to legislate teachers
out of office. The schedule gave the
salary of teachers by name and not
by grade. Thus, said Mr. Partridge,
it is telling a teacher that she is to
receive an increase in salary and
then tell her that her services are no
longer required—as the superintend
ent has the power to arrange his
corps of teachers to the best advan
tage.
The motioner stated that there was
no attempt on his part to legislate
teachers out of positions.
The motion was amended by Mr.
Harned to read so that it named the
teachers to receive increases. The
following teachers received increases
in salary: Miss Helen Price, $100:
Evelyn Moodey, *50: Laura Depuy,$50;
Olive Briggs, $50; Gaynell Combs,
$100; Lucy Anthony, $50; Ella Jack
son, $50: Natalie Beebe, $50; Louise
Hopping, $50; Margaret Cowan, $50;
Miss Hendershot, $50, and J. T. God
frey, $100.
Permission was granted Miss Crow
ley to purchase eggs for the domestic
science class in a quantity not to ex
ceed a cost of $3. It was decided to
have the Central avenue lawn mowers
sharpened at a cost of $6.50.

A PEACE PACT
(Continued from First Page.)
of a help, and proved their assertions
with records, seemed very much sur
prised, as they were informed to the
contrary by the A. D. T. officials.
Under the new plan advocated by
tho committee and the tiro commis
sioners, a direct telephone line will
connect the A. D. T. office with the
city’s tire station. In this manner
notice will be given the fire depart
ment. This line will be used by no
one but the A. U. T. to send alarms,
and is to be installed and maintained
by the latter, with no responsibility
on the commissioners.
Heretofore when one of the com
pany’s subscribers sent in an alarm
it was flashed to the Clinton street
office, and thence, after verification,
sent via a telegraph wire from there
ti fire headquarters. There it
was received in code form
which required translating by
the department operators before
they could s >nd out an alurm.
Under the proposed scheme the alurm
will be telephoned to headquarters
over a private wire, thus doing away
with the t-xtra work and loss of time
required In. learning the location of
the blaze by reading a code and then
looking up the nearest alarm box to
sound.
The commissioners and the com
mittee of business men also discussed
the annoyance caused by idle curio
sity seekers in calling fire headquart
ers to establish the location of a fire.
The commissioners stated that those
seeking such Information should call
police headquarters so as to allow the
board at firo headquarters free for
fire signals only.
Commissioner Stratton caused a
great surprise when be Informed the
committee that the board of fire un
derwriters of this city would not
sign the petition to reinstate he old
system of the A. T>. T. The men
acting as a committee stated that
this was the first time they had re
ceived such Information and serious
ly considered the weight of it.
Instruction* on Department Cards.
"Remember gentlemen,” said Com
missioner Burke, "that you can tele
phone from your own places of busi
ness direct to Are headquarters and
receive immediate attention. Our
cards which you have In your offices
or factories contain instructions to
that effect.. Good plan too, don’t you
think, regardless of the A. D. T. sys
tem or anything else outside of our
own fire alarm boxes.”
It was asked if the commissioners
could not go ahead with arrange
ments without consulting the city
law department.
"No, indeed," replied Mr. Burke,
"this question Is too stupenduous and
too many Intricate points are in
volved. It would be presumptuous on
our part to ignore the law depart
ment. We couldn’t think of such a
thing. ThS A. D. T. has an abundant
supply of lawyers looking after their
Interests, so why shouldn't the city
lew department be asked by us to
look after our interests which of
course, are the city's Interests?
"I will call your attention to the
ense of a fire In Straus's Broad
street store last night," said Com
missioner Stratton. “The alarm was
sent In from box seventeen across
the street from the store and was re
ceived one minute before the A. D. T.
telephoned an alarm for the same
fire. Yet a newspaper gave credit to
the A. D. T. as being first on the
Job. Now what are we to expect?”
question of Responsibility.
The fire commissioners will not ac
cept responsibility for the operation
of the A. D. T. system by the tele
phone route if that plan be finally
agreed upon any more than It did
under the discarded indirect tele
graph connection device, as they will
have no control over It.
Fire calls by telephone from any
part of the city are now received at
the central office In the City Hall over
telephone number 1825 Newark, and
acted upon promptly, but no respon
sibility for mistakes Is assumed by
the department. This same under

standing will be the order under any
circumstances. „
The commissioners will not arro
gate to themselves the power to au
thorize a private concern to install a
telephone owned by outside parties
in the City Hall without the law de
partment passing upon the proposi
tion and giving specific sanction, as
tlio commissioners feel that such mat
ters are not strictly up to them.
They will insist upon a provision
that will not force upon the depart
ment the full burden in questions of
veracity. That is to say. the com
missioners will not permit the live
central operators to be placed at the
mercy of. the A. D. T. operators
should a dispute arise as to the time
a telephone call was sent into head
quarters. There being no automatic
means of registering telephone calls,
disputes are almost certain to figure
in the matter, causing interminable
controversies.
The comm'ssioners' contention as to
the infeasibility of the A. D. T. sys
tem being attached to the city's di
rect automatic Gamewell system,
because of the contract between the
City Hall Commission and the Game
well company, which holds the
Gamewell people responsible for the
workings of its own system only, was
conceded to be a proper and legal
conclusion.
Good Feeling Prevailed.
Throughout the conference the best
of feeling prevailed, and both sides
agreed that hud there been talks
along the same lines earlier the pro
per solution of the whole difficulty
would have been closer to and with
better satisfaction as a-result
The question of the city water de
partment in requiring factories to
pay for water unused for a fire
sprinkling system was also discussed.
It is expected that some action will
be taken by the committee with the
Board of Works on this subject.
The subscribers' committee consist
ed of William W. Winward, of L.
Bamberger & Co.; Arthur B. Ward,
of Durand & Co.; Louis A. Sayre, of
L. A. Sayre & Son; Jacob Hummell,
of J. Ru’mmell /Co., and William F.

OF NUTLEY DINES
More Than One Hundred
Covers Laid at Organiza
tion’s First Function.
More than a hundred members and
friends of the Nutley Board of Trade
wore present last night at the, first
banquet, of that organization. '.The
affair was held at the Nutley field
Club. Dr. George B. Mead, president
of the Trade Board, acted as toifit
master.
The speakers confined themselvek
to talks of about fifteen minutes’ du-% ^
ration. Congressman William E. V
Tuttle, of Westfield, was the first
speaker. Ho spoke humorously of
the opportunities which Nutley has
of becoming famous, stating that It
is losing a fine chance by objecting
to the Imhoft sewage disposal plant.
Ho thought that with little trouble it
could manage to have the Dupont
powder works moved to Nutley. Put

Harold J. Howland, of the Inde
pendent Magazine, gave a talk on the
civic problems of a suburban town.
He declared that the great problem
of such a town Is the presence of
two classes, which, in most cases,
cannot seem to pull together. These
classes are the commuters and the
natives. The commuter usually
thinks little of the ability of the na
tive, while the latter considers the
commuter a snob, whether he is or
not. Mr. Howland advised the board
not to pass elaborate resolutions, and
then lile them away to gather dust,
but to concentrate their energies
upon one. thing until it has been ac
complished.
Mr. Howland, who was president
of the Montclair Civic Association,
said that during his term of office
that organization passed so many
worthless resolutions that hr is ac
tually ashamed to look New Years In
the face now. In closing, he urged
that the men of Nutley stick to
gether and strive to prevent the for.
motion of factions or cliques.
I., D. Howard Gilmnur, general so
licitor of the Public Service Corpora
tion, gave a brief talk on "Street
Railways.” He said for some un
known reason the majority of (he
people have conceived the idea that
the Public Service is an enemy, while
it is actually their servant and
strives to bo such. He said the Pub
lic Service loses money during the
commission or rush hours.
