FRANCISCO EVIDENCE
M0NTCLAIR M AND HER
SONS AGAINST HUSBAND.
Argument in Action to Get Custody of
Children by Father, Living in Con-
necticut, to Be Heard Tuesday.

In the suit of William Francisco 70
get from his wife, Lillian Francisco, OF
Upper Montclair. their three youngest
children, the taking of testimony by
Vice-Chancellor James E.. Howell was
finished yesterday afternoon and argu-
ment will be made next Tuesday.
The story of Francisco was denied
by his wife and Robert Talbot, the
hired man employed by her, and who,
the husband tried to show, was inti-
mate with her. This was given as a
reason why the children should be
taken from her and given to the
father.
Talbot. who is "A years old, while Mrs.
Francisco. is 40, is a slender chap with a
Rooseveltian mouth and teeth. Mrs. Fran
cisco Is a stout and comedy woman, clever
and matroniy. She swore that Talbot
was only a hired man, and that the farm
where he lived with her and her children
In Connecticut was run by her and her
eldest son. William. who is q years of
age.
Talbot swore that his relations with her
were only those of an employee to an en-
ployer, and that her son got Mrs. Fran
cisco to give him employment. He de-
MED the statements of Connecticut wit
nesses that he a sworn at the three
children and struck them with a
whip.
William and Clarence Francisco corrobo-
rated his story and testified that their
rather had not contributed to their sup
port Tor over seven years.
Vfce-ChaneellOr Howell tried In vain to
get from Francisco a statement Of how
much money, If any, he gave each year,
prior to and after the separation of him
self and wife in 1903, for the support of his
FAMILY. Francisco said that about eight
years ago he had a paying insurance
business in New York. but his wife got
to abandon it in order to develop her
real estate at Upper Montclair.
ina was all he did until early in 1903.
when he ran a confectionery store in
Westwood, this State. for a few months.
Afterwards he got a $1,000 a year position
In Brooklyn, but his wife would not go
there to live. He said he is now making
$l.50O a year. but did not give his wife
Several men and wome from Upper
Montclair testified that Mrs. Francisco sent
the three small children to school, dressed
them we'll, behaved properly and was a
good neighbor. The wife of a grocer said
that Mrs. HIATT. mother OF Mrs. Francisco,
paid the grocery bills for the Franchises,
wen when Francisco lived with his family.
Francisco said he separated from his
wife because of Talbot and another man,
and Mrs. Francisco said she was told of
her husbands name being associated with
that of a young woman at Westwood.
Her son Clarence testified against his
father about the young woman.

ELKS TO REMODEL
WILL BUILD WING TO NEW
HOME IN ORANGE.
Lodge There Is Booming, Following Its
Purchase of old House for
New Quarters.

Planning to get into their new home
in Main street. opposite Bell street,
Orange, at the earliest date possible,
the members of Orange Lodge of Elks
last night considered plans for altera-
lions to the structure. In the rear of
the present building an addition to be
used as a lodge meeting room and for
other purposes will be constructed. 1t
will be SO feet by 100 feet In dimen-
sion. This will conform to the lines
of the present building. The addition
will contain all modern improvements
of a hrst-class club building, with pro-
vision for billiards, pool and bowling
alleys. "A generous sized grill room,
with a lodge room 3S by 70 feet, will
be included.
The addition will be of iron n wood
and with the added space will give the
Elks a home that will be large, roomy,
comfortable and attractive. The great
depth of the lot upon which the home
is erected will allow plenty of space
for the addition, and also will allow
for an outdoor garden that may be
utilized in the summer time.
AS an evidence of the reawakened
interest in the Orange lodge owing to
the decision to equip a new home, and
also because of the continued promi-
hence of the order, there were read
mitted to membership last night q
delegation of former members, some of
whom had not been on the roll Of the
order for more than a decade. There
were nine applications for membership
and FIVE candidates were elected.

THIEF SCARED OFF
HAD PACKED SILVERWARE
UP WHEN HEARD.
Midnight Burglar Made Too Much Noise
in Home of Charles Clark,
of East Orange.

There was an exciting burglar hunt
shortly after midnight this morning In
the home of Charles Clark, Of SO Wash
ington terrace, East Orange, but the
thief made good his escape. Silverware
had been packed up ready to be taken
AWAY.
The family was up late last night and
for this reason is probably richer today
than 1t would rave been II it had retired
early. The windows and doors were
locked up before all went to bed, but one
window was forgotten.
A few minutcs after the family went up
stairs noises were heard in the parlor as
IL someone was walking about. The first
thought was that a cat was responsible
for the noise. but to be on the safe side a
telephone message was sent to the East
Orange police headquarters for assistance.
-Four policemen, Reid, Hoffman, Lynch
and Netter, were sent to the house on
the run, .and they surrounded the place.
No suspicious persons were seen in the
vicinity. An investigation was made by
the officers, and they found a window up,
but 1t had not been forced.
A large assortment OF pieces of silver
ware were found bundled together in the
front hallway, ready to be carted off.
The policeman made a further investiga-
ton In he neighborhood, which proved I'M
successful.

GETS HIS LICENSE
NUTLEY MAN. UNDER FIRE.
WINS BY CLOSE VOTE.
Town Council Decides by 4 to 3 Ballot
to Grant Renewal, After Twice
Laying 1t Over.

The application for a renewal OF bis
saloon license made by Sabine chiardi. of
Nutley, which was laid over by the Nutley
Town Council at two previous meetings,
once on account of one of his bondsmen
not being able to be located by the legal
committee and again on account of there
being a tie vote, was taken up for the
third time last night and granted, the vose
being four in favor and three against.
Two petitions requesting that the appli-
cation be rejected, containing about sixty
signatures, n one in favor of It, were
first read. Councilman Henry NJ. Libby
then asked If the Council constituted an
excise board. stating that he merely asked
for information, and was informed that It
did. He next inquired of Town Attorney
Guy J. Edwards IL there were any legal
obstacle TO granting Chiardi's application,
and was informed that there was none.
Although Ii was not specified the inference
was that Libby's inquiring was in ref
erence TO the serious charge made against
Chiardi several weeks ago by Miss Bessie
Mason. The vote was then taken.
Chiardfs place was objected to by many
church people, who also protested gainst
other saloons in the town. The Council
decided In nearly all the cases hat the ap-
plieations were entitled TO renewals.
Chiardi's case Is the latest victory for the
saloon element.
The ordinance establishing the grade of
FTdilklln avenue, lFOIu hlHBSluuu street "
Glendale street, and Glendale street, from
rankin avenue to Passaic avenue, was
passed on its final reading, on condition
that the Public Service Corporation agree
10 keep the sewers therein open and in
order. The ordinance authorizing the
Council to raise money by taxation to meet
the town appropriations for repairs and
improvements was also passed on It's final
reading.
The trunk sewer was also discussed. and
ii was finally decided that some concerted
action of the different municipalities inter-
ested should be taken before Nutley com
mitted itself. Councilman Libby thought
that some equitable basis should be estab-
lished before any definite action was taken
by the Council. 1t was finally decided to
appoint a committee of two to confer with
John S. Gibson and report at the next
meeting. Mayor Brown appointed Town
Attorney Guy j. EDWARDS and Chairman
Libby as the committee. Councilman Banta
felt that owing to the state of the towns
finances the whole matter should be laid
over until the fall and then submitted to
the people at a mass meeting.
A number of residents from the Second
Ward appeared in reference to the petition
filed nearly a year ago requesting that
Hawthorne avenue be paved. and which
had been laid over for further considera-
ton. The matter was referred to the COM
mittee on streets and sidewalks.
