thal's Allegation Regarding Fire
Truck Is Ground for Libel.

city officials Of Orange with a view to in
stituting a libel suit against Mayor Isaac

tachments City Counsel William A.
Lord Is looking after the legal end of the
affair
Mayor Shoenthal smiled when seen with
relation to the threatened suit and said that
as a matter OF fact he had an offer from
a responsible concern of truck equal to
the one the city was to purchase under
the Republican resolution at a price $500
less than the resolution calls for.
"And in addition" said he, I'VE can have
free of charge an additional fire engine to
use until the new water supply changes
are completed, thus saving the city not

other 5000, the rental of the present extra

DEN
FOR BOYS IS
BROKEN UP
Police Get Eighth Ayenue
Man--Say He Had Boy
on the Watch.

Acting on information received by
Romnalo Caprio, of 105 State street,
Captain Brown, of the Second Precinct
police station, yesterday raided the cam
dy store conducted by Chas. Sisto, at 17S
Eighth avenue. He was arranged in
the Second Precinct Police Court this
morning before Judge Herr, charged
with maintaining a disorderly house.
At the request of Captain Brown, the
case was postponed until Wednesday,
to enable the police to subpoena wit
nesses.
Sisto lives at 81 Garside street He
conducts a candy store, and runs a
pool table at the Eighth avenue ad-
dress. IT is a rendezvous of the boys
in the neighborhood.
Last saturday evening the father and
mother of young Caprio called at the
Second Precinct station house and told
Captain Brown a pitiful story. The
father said his son was II years old,
was working steadily, and earned as
high as $13 a week. For long time
the boy brought his wages home and
gave them to his mother. OF late he
has given her less and less each week,
and two weeks ago failed to give her
any money at all. The same thing hap
pened Saturday. Questioned by his
father young Caprio confessed he had
lost two weeks ago Saturday s4.25, and
last Saturday s13, gambling in Sisto's
place.
An investigation showed that every
night boys gathered In the poolroom
and played cards. shook dice and
played cichito ian Italian game) for
money.
When asked by Captain Brown how
long he knew that gambling was going
on at Sisto's store, Caprio said for sew
eral days. "Why did you not report the
matter to me before?" asked the cap
tain.
"Well," Caprio replied. II did not
care as long as it did not hit me or
mine, but just as soon as my boy suf-
fered through the game, made the
complaint"
The police say that the reason they
did not learn of the case before was
due TO the sentinel scheme carried
on by Sisto. They say that a boy was
stationed outside the door. and when a
policeman in uniform, or in civilian
dress--if knewn-approached, the boy
would give three kicks with the heel
of his shoe. This would be the signal
to conceal all gaming apparatus.

SUICIDES CHILD
SMILES IN COURT.
Little Girl of Woman Who Threw Her

Will Be Cared for in Orange.

Another clue to the reason Anna Howard,
or Horrwatz killed herself last week in
this city by throwing herself under a
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad freight train at
Waverly was furnished in Police Judge
Joseph b. BIay's court. Orange, today.
The child of the dead woman was in court
with ner foster mother, who sought from
the court the right to adopt the little one.
The child, q pretty 4-year-old girl, walked
about and smiled at the police, unconscious
OF the affair, and to overseer Of the Poor
Gustave Kunz and Agent A. W. Abbott,
Of the children's Aid Society, Judge Bray
left the matter of disposition of the child.
The unfortunate mother was about to re-
eeiye the last instalment of $3.50 left with
Judge, Bray for the support OF the child
by Adolph Marien, a former East Orange
musician, and it Is believed the knowledge
that the fund had been drawn down to
mind.
The burial of the woman as a pauper
was avoided by the fact that the balance
of the sum left for the child will be
utilized in giving decent burial Mrs.
Katherine Miller, with whom the dead
woman at times made her, home asked
that the body be given GOOD burial, as the
woman had personal effects in storeroom
and money due her.

Mother Overcome in JERSEY
City and Boy Is Found
Dead.
CARRY PEOPLE TO STREET
Crowd Cheers Until 1t Becomes
Known That Four-year-Old
Peter Mullry, Asleep, Lost
His Life in Grand Street
House.
lspeciaI 70 the EvenIng star.l

JERSEY CITY. Oct. 21.-A small fira
in the rooms of Mrs. John Mullry. at
267 Grand street, was the cause of the
death of her son, Peter, years old,
cripple.
Mrs. Mullry, who occupied the third
floor of the frame dwelling, went down
to the cellar to get pail of coal. Be-
fore leaving her rooms, she glanced
about her, to see if her son and IS
months-old baby girl were safe. They
lay in adjoining rooms, the girl asleep.
and the boy apparently so. The mother
then wended her way, pail in hand, to
the cellar.
On her return. and as she paused to
catch her breath after climbing up
three long flights of stairs. she smelled
smoke. Dropping her coal the mother
rushed into her rooms to be confronted
with a cloud of thick smoke. She final
ly reached the bed upon which lay the
sleeping girl. Picking her up she stag
gered back to the bed upon which had
laid her crippled son.
The binding smoke was fast filling
her lungs. Peering about the bed she
discovered that little Peter was miss
ing SAs she was about to leave, thinking
that harm had perhaps escaped the boy,
she noticed a little bare foot between
the bed and the side wall. II can't
leave him here to die, / will not" said
the distracted mother. With an effort
of false strength she had pulled away
the bed, and with the foot tightly
gripped in her free hand she again
started for the stairs.
The smoke had been seen by people In
the street, and an alarm sent in. The
engines had arrived, and ladder was
placed at the front windows. Mrs.
Mullry had reached the top of her stair
way in the outer hallway when she fell
unconscious to the floor.
Patrolman Sanders, of the City Hall
Station, was the man of the hour.
With leaps and bounds he was up the
stairs and almost stumbled over the
PROSTATE forms. on the floor Behind
him came several firemen. The crowd
outside cheered as the policemen
emerged. each with a human burden
in his arms. The cheers ceased when
it became known that little Peter
Mullry, the cripple, was victim OF
the fire and that the mother and
daughter were in a serious condition.
The boy was badly burned about tho
head and face and had inhaled some OF
the flames. He was dead when Sanders
placed him ON a blanket taken from
one of the fire trucks. The mother and
daughter were taken care of by neigh
bors.
Careless use of matches is said to
have caused the blaze.

WILL OPPOSE
THE VOTING
MACHINE
Clayton Citizens to Appear
at Polls and Demand
Old Style Ballot.

CLAYTON, Oct. 21.-Public pressure
has been brought to bear on Mayor
Nichols so strongly that he has an
nourced that the Town Hall will be
thrown open every evening for ten
days preceding the election, to allow
voters to practise on the voting ma
chine.
The Mayor has been repeatedly re-
quested to open the hall for the voters,
but has been afraid that some of the
men who have made threats against
the machine will either spirit 1t away
or put it out of commission. While the
Mayor is anxious for the machine to
go, he would like it to make it's exit
legitimately, but there is no hope of
that before the coming election.
Public feeling is running so high that
large number of voters will meet at
the Town Hall the first night it is open
and form a club, the members of which
will appear at the polls when they
open November 5, and demand a vote
in the old-style ballot-box.

PATERSON. Oct. 21.-That the East

by the members of the State Potable
Water Commission, who returned to this

A few weeks ago, when the commission

1t has frequently been charged that
