Although the Bishops law forbids the
sale of liquor on Sunday, and the pres
ent Democratic House of Assembly has
failed to shake the stringent provis-
lon of the law, a majority of the mem
bers of Newark Common Council last
night went on record as being opposed
to its Sunday prohibition feature. This
attitude toward the present liquor laws
was brought out formally by the pass
age of an amendment to two sections
OF the revised city ordinances, Nos.
442 and 444, which forbid the sale of
LIQUOR on Sunday between the hours
of | o'clock In the afternoon and 11:30
o'clock at night.
Shortly before noon today Mayor
Haussling signed the amendment to the
revised city ordinances. He issued the
statement printed above, in explanation
of his stand in having signed meas
ure, the spirit of which is contrary to
the provisions of the present excise
laws
Before this action was taken by the
aldermen a message from Mayor Jacob
Haussling was received asking the al
dermen to petition the Legislature to
permit the city of Newark to regulate.

should be sold within its borders

to Dictate Himself, Is Their
Complaint.

The Fremont Society of 56, at a meet
ing in Lincoln Hall last night, discussed
the local political condition in a general
way and several Of the members took a
fall out of Senator Colby 1t was OBJ
served that while the Senator had de-
nounced bossism ON every possible oc-
casion, he not only dictated the candi-
dacy of the former Assemblymen, but
practically nominated Sheriff Frank H.
sommer for Governor and announced
his own candidacy for Senator at the
expiration of his present term.
The hope was expressed that the
regulars and Colbyites would now
shake hands over the political chasIn.
The Fremont Society is one of the
Oldest organizations of it's kind in the
State. and while social as well as polit-
ical affairs keep the members busy. as
its name indicates, 1t is Republican and
was organized at the time of the great
FREMONT campaign. Robert Gerth is
its president and A. Hermann the
secretary.
Charles Soefing, one of the Oldest
members, will take a trip to Germany
next Tuesday. and, Herman Maier is
also booked for a trip to the Father

REDUCED TOO QUICK
HENRY D. CALLAWAY CUT
WEIGHT 100 LBS. IN YEAR.
But in the Process He Was Made Help
less and Was Unable to
Lie Down.

After months of suffering, Henry
Duryee Galloway, of 473 Orange street,
died yesterday at his home from degen-
Grafton of the heart and dropsy For
the last year he did not know what 1t
was to lie down, but was obliged to be
propped up in chair all that length
of time. Arrangements have been made
to hold the funeral Monday afternoon.
The interment will take place In Mt.
Pleasant Cemetery.
Mr.. Galloway was big man and two
years ago weighed 1926 pounds. He was
dissatisfied with his size and doctored
to reduce his weight. In years time
he was relieved of 100 pounds, but the
rapid reduction affected him so that he
was rendered almost helpless. Dropsy
set in and his death had been expected
for the last six months.
Mr.. Galloway leaves widow, but NJ

the fact that the power of Fishers s

to start it. Colonel Birlenbach's car
came along and before he could clear
the machine the two crashed together.
Miss Sweeney was pinned under the
car In which she had been an occupant

N. O. LIGHTING
RESTS WITH
PUBLIC
Council FavOrs Decision at
the POlls==Declares for
City Hall Appropriation.

True to their promise made months
ago that they would vote for the pas
sage of resolutions providing for 6
special election to pass upon the ques.
ton of municipal lighting plant and
for the authorization of the transfer OF
100000 from the contingent fund for the
construction of the proposed City Hall
bers of Common Council at an early
hour this morning passed both resolu-
tions unanimously
Mayor Jacob Haussling signed both
these resolutions today. The City Ex-
ecutive said that he had always been
in favor of the City Hall lighting plant,
but that he vetoed the previous resolu-
ton simply becaus he thought it nee
eccary to be assured as to the condl-
ton of the contingent fund when the
necessary moneys were dranw from It
to keep down the tax rate and there
was no doubt that but that the neces-
sary funds would be In hand to carry
on essential expenses.
While his action was a veto techni-
cally. he reiterated that in substance it
was only an appeal for delay in
action.
Regarding the resolution providing
for the election on the municipal light
ing plant. the Mayor expressed himself
as feeling that there would be ample
time, in the event of favorable cleo
ton result in November until the ex-
piration Of the present Public Service
contract, for the city authorities to In
stall the very best system that can be
devised. He said that he was heartily
in favor of both plans.
Alderman William P. Martin, who
has been fighting the Democrats to
force them to pass the election resolu-
ton contrary to their plans. watched
all the legal technicalities regarding the
vote so that the public utilities COM
panies that may be affected may not
have a leg to stand on In any legal
proceedings they may have brought
to break the action of the Common
Council.
Two months ago a similar resolution
was tabled with the understanding that
it would be taken up at this meeting.
The law under which the special cleo
ton resolution was drawn Is known
as the Jones act.
Ii provides that a proposition for
light, heat or power plant.
may be submitted to the voters of any
city at a general or special election.
In accordance with this law and the
resolution passed this morning the
ballots next November will contain
outlining the city's plan to
spend not more than $1,000, 900 for a
street lighting plant. On this the voter
is to be recorded for or against.
In making possible the realization of
the City Hall lighting plant. the Coun-
ell simply approved the recommende-
ton of the finance committee for the
transfer of the 100000 from the contin-
gent fund TO the City Hall lighting
account, which Will be in charge of the
special municipal lighting committee.
This committee was appointed by Com
mon Council and will complete the
work instead of the public building
committee. which would ordinarily SUI
perintend the installation of the plant.

NO DIVORCE
VICE-CHANCELL0R DENIES
LOCKERS PETITION.
Concludes That He Failed to Make Out
Sufficiently Strong Case
Against Wife.

In memoranda received by counsel
today from ce-Chancellor Emery the
petition of Irving N. LOCKER, of 81 Eliza
beth avenue. this city. and As Maiden
lane, New York, for divorce from his
parents 73 St. Felix street, Brooklyn, Ii
denied.
The sensational trial of the case tool
place last April, when the court severe
ly criticised counsel for the husband
for mentioning the names of four re-
spectacle men as correspondents and
not supporting such use of their names
by corroborative or supporting evil
dence.
Mrs. LOCKER. the defendant, eloped, with
the complainant In the suit from her home
in Brooklyn In the summer of 1906 the
marriage taking place in Albany and the
young people returning to their respective
homes and living apart for two months,
when their secret was discovered. Sub
sequently they began housekeeping in
Prospect Park. west, where the husband
furnished apartments at an elaborate cost
Six months after beginning housekeep-
ing, so It was shown by the evidence pre-
sented, Mr.. LOCKER accused his wife of
statutory offenses and demanded that her
his wife's application for a divorce. The
proposition was Indignantly rejected, so
Mrs LOCKER and her father testified. The
couple separated Immediately after this,
and two years later Mr.. LOCKER began suit
In the courts of this State.
The decision announced by the court re-
iterates some of the structures made by
the Vice. Chancellor during the trial OF the
cause as TO the unwarranted use of the
names of correspondents. The evidence
for the petitioner, given by private detec-
tives, is dismissed by the court, who says
that they contradict themselves on the
very material point of the alleged dates
of occurrences which they tried on the
witness stand to have appear as damaging
to the defendant. He adds that the de-
fendant was properly in the office of the
detective at various times testified to by
her. she having regularly employed them
to get evidence against her husband.
'The effect of allowing the detectives
themselves or their associates" says the
court. "by uncorroborated evidence to es-
tablish charge of this kind against their
employer would, In my judgment, be dis
astrous"
The court concludes by saying that the
evidence presented by the petitioner is not
of sufficient weight upon which to base
decree Of divorce.
Former Senator Michael T. Barrett was
counsel for the defendant wife.
