induced to withdraw a charge made
against Louis Harris, son of Mr.. and Mrs.

South Orange.
Mr.. AVerre had sworn out warrants for
the arrest of young Harris and John Mer-
KEEL, soa of John Merkel, of 50 Fairview

with snowballs. Mr.. Harris, Mr.. Merkel
and Mr.. Averre are all well-to-do men.
The latter Is well along in years.
When the case was called today Judge
Jones appeared as counse for the Harris
boy. Police Justice Roll called counsel
and Mr.. Averre into a rear room. and re-
turning Justice Roll said:
Mr.. Averre, do you wish to withdraw
or press the complalnt?"
Il don't wish to have trouble with my
neighbors," said the complainant.
All right, then. the charge is with
drawn said Justice Roll. He reprimanded
the boy.
The charge against the Merkel boy was
allowed to stand, however, because the
boy did not answer the summons for q
hearing. His father appeared, but Justice
Roll said the boy must appear and re-
fused to accept any money for damages
done from the father. The hearing for
the Merkel lad was postponed until
"Wednesday morning, when Mr.. Merkel said
he would appear with counsel.

TO HEAD COUNCIL
EDWARD S. PERSON WINS
IN EAST ORANGE.
Selected at Caucus of officials to Sue
coed 0ugheltree January l.
Beats Brown.

Councilman Edward S.. Pierson, repre-
sentive of the Second Ward in the East Or
ange City Council, defeated Councilman
Joseph M. Brown, of the Fifth Ward, for
selection as chairman of the 1908 Council
at the caucus, held Saturday night in the
office of Mayor William Cardwell at the
East Orange City Hall. Mr.. Brown, 1t is
said, mustered less than tour votes. The
position pays 5000 a year.
Considerable interest was taken in the
selection by member of the Council, and
the honor was keenly fought for by Mr..
Brown and his supporters, all of whom
seemed TO be taking part IN a losing hight
several weeks ago. Mr.. Pierson had been
given promise of support from the new
members, and had the assistance of all the
old ones with the exception of Council
men Joseph Lee and j.. Frank Greer, both
of the First Ward. 1t was Mr.. Greer who
nominated Mr. Brown at the caucus.
There was some trouble experienced just
before the Councilmen got together when
It was found that Councilman Saxelby, of
the Fourth Ward. was absent. The Off
Gals tried 10 locate him over the tele-
phone. but the storm put the service out
of commission on Main street near the
City Hall just when Mr.. Saxelby was be-
ing sought. After a while the official
was found.
Mr.. Piersor is serving his first term in
the Council. He is president of a bank,
and lFs been serving as chairman of the
finance committee with great credit. Mr..
ilerSon has been Il leader on the n00r, ana
it is believed he will associate himself
thoroughly with all committee work in
the future. Already it is being stated
that he will name John Lenord Merrill,
of the Second Ward, who takes a seat
on January l, as chairman of the finance
committee.
Mr.. Piersor succeeds Chairman Stephen
w. Ougheltree. whe has been d member of
the ouncil thirteen years. lie is said
to have tired of the strenuous duties. but
may loom up again next year as a candi-
date for Mayor.
