LEFT TO HIS FATE
ORANGE MAN DIES OF
BROKEN NECK.
John Dolan Fell Downstairs While
Drunk, and Was Left Where He
Lay for Nine Hours.

Suffering from a broken neck, John
Dolan. of l3 Academy street, East Orange,
a former letter-carrier In that city, was
removed to the Orange Memorial Hospital
shortly before noon yesterday and died
about IL p. m. He had fallen down a flight
of stairs at 2 o'clock yesterday morning
and was left where he had fallen until IL 30
o'clock In the morning.
The police are conducting an investiga-
ton into the case in an effort 10 ascertain
why the mar was left deserted by the
many occupants of the house. 1t was
stated that Dolan was intoxicated.
The police received word of the affair
at lilo o'clock, when m McCabe, a
14-year-old youth, went to the station house
and said a man was lying in the hallway
of 10 Academy street since 2 o'clock In the
morning and appeared TO be injured. Desk
Seargent Patterson sent Policeman Nelson
Gamble to. investigate. The ambulance was
Immediately called and Dolan was hurried
to the hospital. All efforts to save his life
failed.
From an investigation conducted today
by Policeman Harry O'Neill ii was learned
that Dolan was taken home from a Main
street saloon by John McCullum, a black
smith, of 100 Main street, East Orange.
McCullum said he took the man home on g
trolley car. He rang the doorbell and
o Naielor. who resides on the first hoor.
answered. Dolan lived with his wife and
children on the second floor, but decided
to sit down In the lower apartment. He
was ordered out, however, by James
Woods, a boarder. McCullum says he then
assisted Dolan to the second floor, but the
door was oeked and Dolan sat down. His
wife and children were at the home Of a
~neighbor at the time. About. 2 o'clock
Dolan fell down the stairs and a woman
him!' and Dolan replied. oh. I'm all
right" McCullum said he left the house
by the back door.
Apparently no one bothered further apou II
the unfortunate man, and he was left IN
the hallway where he had fallen. Doian
had relatives in the house, but no one IN
yestigated, until young McCabe went 10
the police station.
The investigation by the police today also
developed that some of the people In the
house denied the statements OF McCuliun,
but that there is nothing suspicious about
the affair Is the belief of the police,

TO WORK AGAINST APATHY.

The meeting of the Republican City Ex-
ecutive Committee of East Orange Satnr-
day night turned out to be an interesting
one. especially after the New Idea mem
hers claimed that the Colbyites were doing
the heavy work of the campaign, and
that apathy was being shown all over the
city, although 1t was the home city of
the gubernatorial candidate of the party.
It was further claimed that In many
wards Regulars, expressing an indifference
In the election, fatty refused to offer to
come out and work on election Day, ana
the New Idea men had to stand the brunt.
Reports were received from all wards
and the announcement was made later
that, Judging from the reports, Fort
would carry the city by a majority of
5000. The city is credited with being the
strongest Republican stronghold In tho
state, and has generally given the Repub-
lican ticket a majority OF $500: Members
of the committee stated at the meeting
that they feared 1t would be an impossi-
bility to get the entire vote on election
day. To attempt it, anyway, automobiles
will be used in every ward to get the
Republican voters to the polls. The regis
tration is counted as being normal

During the services IN connection with
the dedication of the now chapel of the
Brick Presbyterian Church. East Orange.
yesterday afternoon it was announced
that $16,2SO had been pledged toward pay
ing for the building, the total cost of which

expected. will be paid In a short time.
The work OF the board Of trustees. Of
which Charles Wiley is president, was the
subject for much commentator The

admirably arranged for the comfort of old
and young. Solid oak is used throughout
on the interior. The building will be used
as a Sunday school and lecture room. Will

A short address was delivered by the
Rev. DIR. John F.. Patterson, of the Cen
trail Presbyterian Church, Orange, who
said:

bers IN Offering congratulations. We are
not envious Of this beautiful building; we

DENY MAYORS STATEMENTS.

The Democratic Club Of Montclair held
a smoker in its club rooms, 473 Bloomfield
avenue, that town, on Saturday night,
John /. Cox, commonly called Senator
Cox, presided. Mr.. Cox, in a long speech,
answered the charge made by Mayor Henry
V. Crawford that the only Office holder
of MontclaiT that ever stole money from
the town was a Democrat
Mr.. Cox said the office referred to was an
appointive one, in the gift of the Town
Council. He said that he himself was the
Democratic candidate for the office and
received only three votes. while his op-
ponent. who was n well-known Republican.
received six votes. one of which was Mayor
Crawford's, who was at that time a coun-
Gilman.
When the man who secured the Of
flee defaulted and skipped the town. said
Mr.. Cox, ''he was dubbed n Democrat"
Harold N. Anderson, Democratic candi-
date for Councilman in the First Ward,
denied Mayor Crawford's charge. that re.
Anderson, had been associated all his life
with Tammany Hall. He said the Mayor
resnrted to these tricks 70 take the peo-
pies mind off the charges Of bad and cx-
traxagant government.

Qu1Er. I'M souTH A

But little interest is being shown by the
voters of South Orange on the eve of cleo
tion. In fact there is said to be no more
life in the political situation there now
than existed q month ago. This is partly
due to the postponement Of the election
for village offices until the spring, blu not
wholly. Neither the Democrats nor the Re-
publicans have done much to stir up in
terest in the present campaign. Not a
single mass meeting has been held by
either party, but the Republicans held a
'~'get-together' meeting in their club and
talked over matters. On the other hand
the Democratic leaders seem to have for
gotten the election. and It is probably the
first time in the history of a campaign
that not a single political speech has been
made by them there.
The failure of a number Of village citi-
zens to register as shown in the EVENING
STAR last week is due to the inactivity
on the part OF the politicians.
In the township, although the registra-
ton was higher this year than last the
same quletness exists as in the village.
There will be no contest for local offices,
William Fl. Kemp. the only one out for
the Office of Township Committeeman hav-
ing been lndorsed by both the Republicans
and the Democrats.

EYES ON WATER DEAL
NEW ENGLAND SOCIETY
GETS INTERESTED.
Shortage in This State in twenty-five
Years If Supply Is Not Care
fully Conserved.

That there will he a water famine in the
State in twenty-five years unless the water
supply Is conserved in some manner was
the announcement made in the report of
of the public welfare committee of the
New England Society of Orange Saturday
night, Thomas A. Davis presented a
progress report. and contained in the mes
sage to his fellow members was this an
nouncement of the dangers that are before
the people of the State. The Increase in
population and the limited facilities for
securing water supplies are chiefly feared
in this vital matter.
There wos also a general discussion at
the meeting on the opposition TO the dam
at Little Falls and the creation of Pas
sale Lake, and the general consensus of
opinion was that the opposition to the
new work, which will be done under the
Legislative act OF 1907, came from 'he
East Jersey Water Company, either direct
ly or indirectly.
The water discussion bids fair ia lead
further and the topic is expected to be-
come one of the most interesting in the
annals of the society. The report present
ed Saturday concerning the water supply
act included information ND to date. and
Mr.. Davis read the law on the subject,
which covers the control by a commits
sion of the potable waters of the State
that have not already been appropriated,
and also has charge of the excess water
in the hands of the private corporations.
The creation of a dam at Little Falls
and the Passaic Lake was spoken of ard
the storage of water of the Passaic water
shed and the control of floods i'll the Pas
sale River.
Attached TO the report was a letter
from c. c. Vermeule, an East Orange en-
gineer, to Joseph d. Holmes, chairman Of
the public welfare committee. and Mr.,
Vermeule also loaned a map, showing the
territory affected by the water conditions
under discussion.
The president OF the society was directed
to name a committee of three to look
after The situation and report from time
to time on the important features.
The election of officers resulted as fol-
lows: President, William Farrand; first
vlce-president, Albridge c. Smith; second
vice-president. Thomats A. Davis; coun-
selors, Alfred p. Boiler, Joseph D.. Holmes,
Robert w. Hawkesworth the Rev. Adolph
Roeder, Charles H.. Van Eostrand and
Edward X. Sumerwell; treasurer, Charles
A. Lindsey; secretary. Alton II. Sherman;
corresponding secretary, David l.. Pier
SON; membership committee, Clarence w.
Baldwin, Byron c. Matthews and Charles
II. Burke.
