COPS SHOOT IMAM
FILL DUMMY WITH LEAD IN
PRACTISE.
South Orange Policemen Becoming Elk
pert with Revolver-No Night Bur-
glaries There in Two Years.

South Orange, which boasts of many
wealthy homes, has not had a single
burglary at night in more than two years,
and this is said to be due largely to the
vigilance of the police. There are six
teen policemen in the village, and in order
to hold their jobs they must keep up to
a standard at shooting at a man-sized
target weekly.
The shooting. which was started by
Police Chairman Rowland d. Perrine, of
! the Village Board Of Trustees, two months
ago, has brought great results. At that
time the theft of a small tree from a
South Orange nursery resulted in the
thief getting away after lodging several
bullets from a policeman's revolver, ana
in order that he next man would not get
away In such an instance Mr.. Perrine
started the bluecoats shooting at the
target.
AS a result some of the police can now
hit the Man" bulls eye ten. out of as
many shots. Policeman Patrick Reynolds
has put up the high score in the shooting
so far, he having made forty-nine out of a
possible fifty points. Reynolds does not
lead, however, in the average, he being
less than two points behind Sergeant
Thomas j. Sherry, whose average is %.
In order to encourage the practise Mr..
Perrine has decided to give the average
leader at the end OF the season a silver
medal. The winner win wear the medal
until it is taken away by Il higher average
put up by another policeman the next
year. The fight FOR the lead at present Is
causing much interest among the blue
coats because Of Reynolds and Sherry be-
ing so close. Both win take part in the
shoot next Friday.
Besides the medal given by Mr.. Perrino.
Archdeacon Lewis Cameron, rector Of the
Church of the Holy Communion. Of South
Orange, has offered a bronze medal to the
officers attaining an average of thirty-f1ve
points or more.
In the shoot held yesterday afternoon
Policeman Patrick Kelly put up the high
est score. IS. The other scores were: Mar
shall Thomas Mcguire. So; John Matte. 20,
Patrick Skefington, q; Michacl Lally. 81
WILLIAM Comerford, i6. and Edward Hat
ton. u.
Besides the target shooting. Mr.. Per-
riue since he has been at the head Of the
police department, has had a new judges
desk and bar placed IN the village jail
and has had the building r~edecorated.
He has had a police box telephone system
Installed and the fire headquarters and
L~ackawanna roundhouse connected with
the are alarm system. so that when a po-
lieeman discovers a fire on his beat he
can readily send tr an alarm from the
police telephone box.

HEAD OF IMPROVERS
DECIDES TO RESIGN.
Charles virgins, of Third Ward Asso.
citation, Irvington, Displeased with
Recent Conduct of Members.

The latest development in the row
among the members of the Third Ward
Improvement Association of %Irvington
is the decision of its president, Charles
virgins, to resign. He said yester-
day afternoon that he did not care to
conduct the meetings any longer be-
cause of the disorder that has pre-
vailed. Many of the members have no
regard for the chair, he said, and the
result is a general state of disorder
that reflects severely on the organizes
ton.
In taking this action, Mr.. virgins
is following the lead taken by Score
tary Robert Braitsch n John Jones,
the chairman of the street COMMITTEES.
Under all the outward signs of unrest,
II is said, are political quarrels that
threaten to disrupt an organization
that promised to do much for the Grove
street section when it was formed a
few months ago.

Potatoes. onions and yeret,ble.

The Potato market Is exhibiting evidences of
improvement. the receipts from all sources
have decreased materially Of late and receivers
are able to move the heavy accumulation of ordi-
nary table goods which has incumbered the mar
ket for the last few weeks. General offerings of
Eastern and Oregon Burbanks are moving freely
In regular channels, but at weak prices while
strictly fancy table goods are closely cleaned up
and prices for such 'stock have an upward ten
dency- Onions remain very weak and there rs no
immediate prospect of the market improving as
stocks are burdensome and mostly of poor
quality.
Asparagus slightly higher than on the pre-
ceding day, the advance being caused by the ex-
ira demand for shipment on the Puget Sound
steamer Rhubarb was weaker as the receipts
were large and included all of Thursdays belated
consignments. The other vegetables showed lit
tie change, being in light supply and generally
firm.
