The Morris County chronicle., 1903-10-30

The County Board of Elections met
in the Freeholders' room yesterday,
and among the many things they did
was to appoint ninety challengers for
the Jefferson-Lincoln party, for the
forty-five districts in the county, and
every challenger is a resident of Boom
ton. 1t was suggested that the list OF
names included all the members OF the
Jetferson-L Lincoln party. 1t is a large
majority of them at any rate.
There was doubt in the minds OF the
board at first whether they had the
right to commission ninety men in
Boonton to act in forty-five districts,
but when they consulted the law, it
was found that the Board of Elections
was obliged to appoint any agents
any political party might nominate.
The law reads as follows:
"The chairman of the committee OF
the political party making such nom1-
nation within and for such single
municipality, or such division thereof
may appoint two agents for each dis
trict in his county or municipality as
the case may be, and any candidate
duly nominated by petition for any
office whose name may appear upon
the ballot to be used in any election
may likewise appoint two agents for
each district"
A. A. Vance, chairman Of the Board
of Elections, said the law should be
amended.
II believe" said Mr.. Vance, "that a
man should be resident of the dis
trict in which he is to act as a chal-
lenger, and that he should be a voter.
AS it is, there is no requirement. OF
the law as to residence, nor is there
any prohibition against the appoint
ment of an alien or minor as a chal-
lenger.'

That is What They C4ll Themselves.
Organiz, by the High school Boys
in 1901. Its Aim and Objects.

Organiz~d by the High school Boys
in 1901. it, Aim and Objec's.
In class room in the Morristown
High School, several days before
Christmas in the year 1901, four young
men, students in the school. held a
meeting to discuss d proposition of
organizing a debating society. The
conference was not long, as all were
unanimous in the opinion that such a
society would be of great benefit, and
were enthusiastic for its promotion.
What to name the society was the
next question to be settled, and it
took several meetings before this mat
ter was disposed of. At first it was
thought to have the organization d
purely High School debating club, and
give it that name, but several Of the
boys thought it best to have it as near
like the fraternities which are so popu-
lar in all Prep" schools and colleges.
1t was finally decided that the order
should be of a secret nature, and be
called the Gamma Sigma.
The meaning OF these Greek words
is a secret known only to the mem
bers. When a candidate is initiated,
he is obliged to cross his heart, swear
on stacks of books, and otherwise
pledge himself that he will rot re-
veal this secret IT he does he is to
be penalized by decapitation.
The meetings of the club are al
ways held at the home of one of the
members. Once a year, however, the
debaters gather in WE. Days parlors,
where lunch is served and speeches
made.
The object Of the Gamma Sigma
! is not only for the improvement of the
members intellectual faculties, but
also for the protection of each other
against wandering from the paths OF
rectitude.
The Gamma Sigma" may be classed
as a rather exclusive set, because not
all that bid are admitted. Good char
acter and good habits, however, are
the principal requirements for eligi-
bility to membership.
The questions selected for debate at
the meetings of the society, are al
ways upon the problems of the hour, y
which pertain mostly to State and
National subjects.
The officers of the society are
President, Lewis Hays; vice-preSident,
Charles V. Vernon, Jr.: secretary,
John Rosevear, and treasurer, Thomas
Homan. Other active members are,
Frank Allen, Frank Bower, Clarence
Wells, Wesley Logan, Oscar Sturgis,
Angelo Bennell, Flagg Vogt, Morris
Rosevear.
The associate membership consists
of the following young men: Willard
Cutler, Leroy Haven, Oliver Lyon,
Harry Thatcher and Henry Carrell.

Held Meeting last Friday Even
ing and Decided that Trad
ing Stamps Must go.
WILL ASSERT INDEPENDENCE
Have Come to the Conclusion that they
are Being Robbed. VIII Refuse to
be Held Up any Longer. Stamps of
no Benefit to Anyone but the Stamp
Companies. Have Appointed Com
mittee.

A meeting of large number OF
merchants was held in this city Fri
day night to discuss and take action
on the trading stamp question.
The Chronicle learned that prac-
tically all the business men in Morris
town are in favor of abolishing the
nuisance. They are convinced that
the issuance of stamps with every ten
cent purchase is detrimental to their
best interests, does not increase their
cash business, and is an expense which
should go to the betterment and
enlargement of their stock.
A committee of merchants was ap-
pointed, so it is said, to perfect an
organization and investigate the
question and ascertain the best
method of dealing with the subject,
with the idea of getting. rid of them
once for all. 1t was the consensus of
opinion that the trading stamp was
a highway robbery affair and must
go.
There is no excuse for the existence
of the trading stamp in Morristown,
and the trading stamp concerns have
never claimed, so far as known, that
they have any good reason for asking
merchants to buy their books. In
view of the determined effort on the
part of the business men to put an
end to the stamps it can be assumed
that the backbone of the stamp act
is broken, and that the city will soon
be rid of them.
The stamp question has been stirred
up from time to time by the
Chronicle and when the New Bruins
wick, Newark and Orange merchants
organized, the Chronicle kept Morris
town informed from time to time,
and there is every prospect that the
trading stamps will soon be thing
of the past so far as Morristown is
concerned.

Judge Mills took up appeals Monday
morning, and called the case of Mrs.
Amy Philhower VS.. Theodore Phil
hover, her father-in-law.
The trial is over a quarrel Mrs.
Philhower had with her husband,
John Philhower. She was driven
from her home, and her belongings
seized, which were sold by her hus-
band to Theodore Philhower, his
father. Mrs. Philhower claimed she
inherited the household goods from
her mother and made a demand upon
her father-in-law for the goods, but
he refused to give them up.
The jury brought in verict for
$17S.60 in favor of the plaintiff, Mrs.
Philhower.
Judge Mills announced the case Of

company.
The case Of Joseph Regeez, of Boon
ton, against the st. Peter and Paul
Roman and Greek Catholic Society OF
Boonton, was then taken up by the
court. The evidence was nearly all
in Slavish, and two interpreters were
engaged in translations, Harry Domb,
of this city, and Michael Lujanoyitz,
of Boonton.
The jury rendered a verdict of
S497. It's to Regeez.
Patsey Parulla, an Italian fruit
dealer on Water street, was arrested
on Monday on a bench warrant and
arraigned before Judge Mills for
keeping disorderly house. He
pleaded not guilty and was released
under $500 bail furnished by James
Russo.
Yesterday the case of Lewis T. Hut
ton against the proprietors of the
Morris Aqueduct was called. Mr..
Hutton sues for injuries to valuable

Y. M. T.. A. Notes.

Down in the gymnasium of the Y
M. G. A. every Monday, Wednesday
and Friday nights can be seen as
spectacular ball game as anyone
would desire to witness. The players
are members of the business mems
class of the association and are pro-
fessional (?) players. Among the
most CONSPICUOUS in game are DR..
Herman Newbold, Frank Eaton.
Aldus Pierson, Frank Abel, John
b. Vreeland and Frank Wilson.
These men have learned what it is to
hit ball and what a strike is. And
so much learning has made them base
ball enthusiasts. Last Wednesday
night very exciting game was
played. The score was something
like 1867 runs to 3,7S9 runs. The
fielding was wonderful, and the
pitchers pitched their arms sore.

FOR CRUELTY TO HER CHILDREN
is In Jail Awaiting Action of
the Grand Jury.

Upon complaint of her stepfather,
Henry Brown, Mrs. Nettie Earles,
wife of Amzie Earles, was arrested
Monday night for disorderly conduct.
A charge was also made against her
for cruelty to her children by the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children.
Mrs. Earles has not been living
with her husband, but with her step
father. Two of her children were
taken to the Children's Home, and
another to the hospital, suffering, it
is said, from her ill-treatment.
When arraigned before Justice
Stilwell, Mrs Earles was committed
to jail to await the action of the
grand jury.

Rut Not without Protest. Morristown
Had similar Case.
The common council of Summit has
authorized the sale of 100000 city
bonds; 5000 joint sewer bonds; $780,
600 school bonds, and $4,000 lateral
sewer bonds. 1t has ordered paid a
bill of City Solicitor e. l.. McKirgan
1868. 70, for negotiating the bond issue
sale. There was objection to the pay
ment of Mr.. McKirgan's fees by the
Republican members Of the council,
who are in the minority, and the bill
was passed by purely party vote.
Lawyers charges are generally very
unsatisfactory. Morristown found
that fact out when the Morristown
Sewer Commission presented legal
fees amounting to 1915, which was in
excess of the appropriation, but which
was paid by the city because it was
claimed the services had been rendered
Mayor Reed, however, refused to vote
for it--and he is lawyer.

homes in this city from the woods and
wilds of Moosegogmaguntick and Pts

Arabs, they stole homeward; /; but they
brought with them game, and thus
saved themselves from humiliation.
Fourteen deer and four moose they
killed, and for a while prices on Chica-

They had a delightful trip, without

Opening of the Handsomest Theatre in
the World with Great Production.
Klaw g. Erlanger opened their new
Amsterdam Theatre, situated on 42d
street, just west of Broadway, New
York CITY, last Monday night, pre-
Senting N. G. Goodwin in their superb
spectacular production of Shakes
peare's "a M idsu inner Nights
Dream" This theatre had been in
process Of construction for two years
and when its doors were thrown open
last Monday night, notwithstanding
all that had been said of it's magnifi-
cence, it proved complete surprise to
every one. 1t represents the most
complete and advanced theatrical
architecture in the world and a dis
tinct departure in the novelty Of its
decorations, which are founded on the
Art Nouveau idea, which was given
its first expression at the Paris Expo
Sition of 1900. The decorations of the
New Amsterdam Theatre represent
the most extensive Interpretation OF
this style of decorative art, either in
this country or Europe. Those famil-
lar with the court theatres of Europe
say that there is no amusement edi-
flee abroad that can be compared with
the New Amsterdam Theatre in point
OF comfort, safety or elegance of ap-
pointments. 1t will seat 1890 people.
The stage is one of the largest in New
York and represents the most com.

REAR END COLLISION.
The BernardsvilIe Express Ran Into

Orange. A Number Injured.

The Bernardsville Express Ran Into
the Hackettstown Mail Train at
Orange. A Number Injured.
About a score of commuters were
injured in rear-end collision on
Monday morning at Orange by the
Bernardsville express same train
that killed nine high school children
at the Clifton avenue crossing in
Newark last winter-which crashed
into the HackettStown accommoda-
tion, which leaves here at 1852 a. m.
The mail train was just pulling out
of the main station at Gone street at
S34 when the express ran into the
rear car which was filled with pass
engers. Marshall Cassidy, the en-
gineer of the express, said that the
signal indicated clear track. He
was running at reduced speed be-
cause he knew that the accommoda-
tion train was ahead of him, and the
curve shut off his view Of the station.
His statement as to there being no
danger signal set was confirmed by
the crew of train that followed
close after the Bernardsville express.
These men who refused to give their
names, said that they saw no danger
signal, and that their train was
stopped by a flagman who had been
sent back from the express as soon as
the accident occurred.
The Hackettstown train was in
charge of Conductor John j. Smith,
and the conductor Of the express was
Theodore Cortes.
