N~on-support.

For violation Of his parole and on COM
plant of Agent A. W. Abbott, of the
Children's Aid and Protective Society, of
the Oranges. Recorder Edmund Condit, In
the West Orange Police Court last night,
sentenced Charles Henry Read, a ma
chinist, AZ Maple street, West Orange, to
six months in the p~enitentiary. On Au-
gust I Read was arraigned before the
court for neglecting to contribute n
money, food or clothing toward the sup

to support his family properly the So
ciety's agent asked Recorder Condit to adj
journ sentencing the man on condition that
he would sign an agreement to pay the
society So per week toward the support of
his family from August IL and to continue

in tic hearing that Read was getting
ready to go away from the jurisdiction of
the court upon receiving his first wages
and that he had stated that no one was
going to compel him to pay any money
for the support of his family. The So
ciety had evidence to prove these asser-
tons. as a result of which the agent was
instructed to request REEDS %rearrest be-
fore he had a chance to desert entirely.
He may be released from the p%eniten-
tiary upon his securing bonds in the sum
of $500 to pay the society S. per week for

year.

TILT OVER EXPENSES
COST OF ROAD REPAIRS UNI
FAIRLY ALLOTTED.
So West Orange Councilman Protests
and Says Fifth Ward Is
the Sufferer.

The report Of the expenditures OF the
street committee led to an animated arSu-
ment at the meeting of the West Orange
Town Counc last night. Councilman Stew
ems Directing to the amount charged up
again the Fifth Ward for roadmaking
and repairs.
II have made several protests in this
matter" he said. yet I see the expense
is still being made as heavy as possible
for the Fifth Ward. Two hundred and
lightweight dollars has been charged
against this ward for work done in Eagle
Rock avenue. and there has not been one
cent charged against the Third Ward.
Yet the centre line of the road is the
dividing line between the two wards.
Councilman Cannon retorted that not one
dollar Of this expense would be charged
against the Third Ward. He said that
he was surprised that the member from
the Fifth Ward did not know the limits
of the different wards, and stated that it
was the Second Ward he referred to, not
the Third.
Mr.. stevens took umbrage at Council
man Gillicks remark that he n Conh-
Gilman Kenny would be willing TO assume
a part of the expense to help Mr.. Stevens
out. and remarked hat he did not want
any sarcasm from n the he S SeeSnd e Wafai
he said. "and not so that 1t viii appear
as if we got something we never received.
Mayor Condit here broke into the dis
tuSSiOit. III III dAl IL
he said. "have nothing to growl about, Tor
have received more than in any pre-,
vious year. They ave more ~unimproVed
roads than any of the other wards, and
so it is necessary to spend more money:
I would not sanction any injustice. and
I think these wards have been treated
After considerable additional discussion
it was finally decided TO have the division
lines of the various wards defined on the
official map of the town, as there seemed
10 be some confusion in the minds of the
as to what these limits were.
An opinion was read from Town Counsel
relating to the Legality or con
tract work done by town officials. The
opinion was giver in esponse to a request
Of Mr.. Stevens at the last meeting of the
when a contract for carpenter
work was awarded TO a firm in which
Councilman Freye is said to be interested.
The Council held that such contracts are
Illegal and quoted the following extract
In which any councilman shall
be interested directly or indirectly or in
any councilman shall be surety for
the faithful performance thereof shall be
null and void. No member of the council
shall be surety for any public officer
elected or appointed under this act"
The dog licensing ordinance which was
passed on second reading came in for its
share of discussion. Mr.. Freye contending
hat the fee should be increased pro rata
for owners of three or four dogs, as the
is more than proportionatCly
greater. Ordinances We're passed on first
to change the names of Benvenue
venue and Ridgeway avenue to Mortified
ivenue.
1t was decided to advertise for bids for
I new fire truck, at a cost not to exceed
s., 200.

TO IMPROVE PARK
East Orange Residents Appeal to City
Fathers to Make Elmwood Tract
a Public Playground.

A determined effort is going to be made
by residents in the Elmwood section of
East Orange towards placing the Elmwood
Park in proper condition. AT a meeting
Of citizens last night resolutions were
adopted asking the Mayor and City Coun-
ell to have the tract converted into q pub
lie playground. For years the place has
been left In a bad condition and the efforts
TO have 1t beautified have so far been In
effectual. 1t formerly served as an ash
dump. The tract was first chosen for use
as a park by the Flmwood Homestead AS
ISOLATION. 1t is supposed that 1t now be-
longs 10 the city, brit a law will have to
be passed to allow for it's being made n
playground.
OF late the tract has been given to the
Shade Tree Commission to improve, but
the commission merely decided to place
trees and drain one section of 1t. The
residents have waited. but the tract is still
in poor condition. The ownership of the
ground will now have to be determined
and when this is lone the belief Is that
the Fairgrounds Commission will see that
it Is improved.
The resolution passed last night reads:
whereas, There is a tract of land in the
third district of the Third Ward of East
Orange known as the Elmwood Park tract,
which Is now believed to be the property
OF this city, and
whereas. The said tract would make
an admirable playground and park, and
Whereas. An act of the State Leglsla-
ture is necessary before said tract of land
can be turned into the hands of the Play
ground Commission.
Therefore. be 1t resolved. tina this
gathering of voters of said district urge the
securing of such legislative action as is
needful to accomplish the desired end and
ask In this the concurrence of the Mayor,
City Council and said Playground Com
mission to use their efforts to the desired
end.
BE 1t further resolved. that a copy of
this resolution be sent to the said Mayor,
City Council and Playground Commits

GARBAGE PUZZLE
Councilmen Prefer Variety of Sugges.
tions, but Nothing Definite Is
Settled Upon.

When they gather 1t up they can't find
a place to put 1t. and when they find n
place to put it they don't seem to be able
to gather It up. This about sums up the
garbage situation In West Orange.
Town Scavenger Mcintyre struggled
along for a while and gave up in despair;
Street Commissioner Frank Eckert tried 1t
and couldn't seem to make good; md now
the matter has been turned over to the
Joint mercles of the public health and
streets committees.
The usual discussion on garbage dis
posal came up at the meeting of the Town
Council last night. and the Council
men from the various wards made
their accustomed remarks and sugges-
lions on the subject, with the usual
result that no definite solution of the PROP
lem was reached. This question has been
In nm unsettled condition for some time,
and from present indications Will remain
so for some time to come.
Chairman Freye of the streets committee
started the argument, when he stated that
he had received a telephone call from II
Mr.. Butler, of Chestnut avenue, who told
him that Mayor Condit had said he was u
member of a special committee appointed
to look after the garbage.
Il told this man., sad Mr.. Freye, "that
[ never was a scavenger and never intend
ed to be one. and that the street commits
sicner agreed 10 do the work We had n
long conversation, at least he did. I merely
snlu yes and no, ana lnvIIed the man 10
the Council meeting to air his grievance.
which was that the temporary scavenger
had not removed his garbage for over a
week.
Mr.. Butler was not present, but several
other citizens had the same complaint to
make. John Harrison stated that the gar
bage ago had repeatedly passed his
house and had not stopped to empty the
overlooking cans in front of his home.
he question was asked whether care
was taken 10 have garbage and ashes
separated so that the town would not De
put TO the needless expense of carting
ashes over the mountain, and Street Com
missioner Eckert stated that the people re-
fused to place ashes and garbage in sepa-
rate receptacies.
1t was suggested that the reason for this
might be that when the garbage had been
left in the can for two weeks ashes were
placed on top to kill .he offensive smell.
Councilman Gillick said that it was a mis-
take in the first place to put the work
upon the stree. commissioner, as he Lad
enough to do without It. and had not time
to attend to II properly. Eckert disclaim-
ed all knowledge of his drivers derelic-
tons. and the respective councilmen made
various motions with the purpose of reliev-
ing the situation.
Out of the multitude of motions one was
passed referring the whole matter to the
committee on streets and public health,
with power.

AIRSHIP WOULDN'T WORK.
Olympic Park Manager Wants Back
Money Advanced on It.

The failure of the Park & Hogan airship
to make daily flights from Olympic Park,
after $500 had been advanced to the COM
pany by the park management, resulted
yesterday in Manager H. A. C. Schmidt
taking out a writ Of attachment against
the sky sailor.
The snip mas had a history replete
with failures since July q, when it was
first supposed to make an ascension.
Every kind of excuse from lack of gas to
broken machinery was given for the fail
ure OF. the machine to make a single sue
cessful flight. On one occasion the great
bag smashed a propeller AM landed in
Orange. On another occasion it jumped
the Olympic Park fence, landed on the
other side. and then jumped back again.
A few days ago it finished its fight in a
field and after several attempts to get
back, by its own power, was carried to the
aerodrome.
Mr.. Schmidt, through his counsel, Elvin
w. Crane, claims 10 have advanced money
to the management at various times and
suit has been brought in the Essex County
Circuit Court attaching the machine as
security.

ALL GIVEN LICENSE
NONE OF IRVINGTON LIQUOR
DEALERS REFUSED.
Recently Raided Saloons Not Discrim-
mated Against, as Rumor Had It
They Would Be.

None of the twenty-seven Iryington
liquor dealers who applied for renewals
last night were refused or held up.
This Is the annual budget of renewals
and represents the total number or
liquor shops now in the town. As no
new licenses were asked for. and as all
who held licenses last year asked for d
continuance of their privilege, the num-
Der of saloons remains unchanged.
Rumor had it that two of the saloons,
the Temple House and Lyons Park.
which were raided by the Sheriff's men
recently, would meet with opposition
in securing the renewal, but If any OPP
position was raised 1t did not go be-
yond the star chamber session pre-
ceding the meeting.
The licenses are divided as follows:
Retail, 1; saloons, II; inn or tavern, ID.
The Council is not satisfied that the
Public Service Corporation is supplying the
town with either 1000 candle-power arc
or thirty-two candle-power incandescent
lights as they are supposed to do. The
arc lights were said to be especially poor
although the town is required to pay
500 a year for them. Councilman Webb,
chairman of the lighting committee, was
instructed to have the lamps tested for
their b%rllliancy, and he will place the
matter in the hands of Town Electrician
Frederick Baab to report at the next meet
ing.
The police department was increased by
but one regular patrolman instead of two
asked for. Edward Weingarth was the
successful candidate Of the four presented
to the police committee for
ton. The chancemen turned down were
Christian Hughes. Harry Camp and Will
lam Ruppeli.
The tax ordinance. now on second read
ing. was laid over till next Tuesday night.
An ordinance providing for the. opening
of Smith street was ordered drawn. the
final hearing on the workmanship. and ma
terial of the Lyon avenue extension grad
ing was set for September II; ordinances
establishing the grade of Norwood avenue
first readings, and the ordinance to open
Nineteenth avenue passed its final read
ings. Another ordinance establishing a
grade for Twenty-1rst street to Avon ave-
nue. passed the first reading, and prelimin-
airy steps were, taken to have lateral sew
ers constructed in several of the outlying
town streets.
The first step to improve the towns fire
Department was taken nv authorizing. the
fire and water committee to secure bios
for a combination wagon for the. centre OF
the town. The present reel Will then De
sent from Hose Company No. 2, in the
Town Hall, to Company No. 4. on the hill,
while the reel of the latter mpan Will
be turned over to the factory district as an
emergency wagon.
Town Scavenger Scott is again in trouble.
This time it is the Manhattan Park district
that is complaining of the service, and Mr..
Scott will be asked to appear before the
board next Tuesday night to answer the
charges.

victim of a conspiracy, and that he was
unaware of the contents of the package in
which were several boxes Of the expensive
drug, worth, in all. probably $500 or goo

GiIlairn was arrested in a saloon at the
corner of Forty-third street and SPRING
field avenue, where he was located by
Sheriff's Officer Overmiller. When searched
in the %Irvington Police Station, to which
place he was taken by Policeman Meyer,

Glllnirn met the former husband Of his
wife at their home. s Pell street. China

companion. whose name he gave. invited
him to journey with him across the river
and he did so. On the way his Companion
handed him a package to keep and finally
they happened into in the Irvington sa-
loon.
There they met n third party whom
Gillairn recognized MS n Chinatown char
ncter. This person Gillairn knew only by
nickname. The P~ortuguese's companion at
once told him to turn over three OF the
small boxes. Gillairn did not say whether
or not he turned the boxes over to the
third party as directed Soon after he was
arrested.
When asked IL he knew what the boxes
contained. Gillairn stated that he was told
TINT they held only head"chc powders.
He denied that he realized that he was
dealing in a deadly drug.
in handing him the boxes to keep was
to get 'sGunre" on him for having mar
