TEST VOTE SHOWS
1874 TO I FOR A
PURITAN SUNDAY
Advocates of Closed Sabbath in
East Orange Greatly Out
number Foes.
BUT COUNCIL DELAYS
ACTION ON ORDINANCE
City Hall Chambers Crowded at
Second Hearing, Which Has
Stirred Up Feeling.

A Puritan Sabbath is favored in East
Orange, if the test vote taken at the
City Councils public hearing on the
proposed ordinance for closing all bust
ness places on Sunday count for any
thing. AS Councilmen Lee, Groves and
Greer were unable to attend the meas
ure was laid over for two weeks.
The Council allowed the assemblage
to vote on the subject of the ordinance
and 1914 raised their hands in favor,
while only Z voted in opposition. The
Council chambers were crowded, many
being forced to stand during the hear
ing. Most of the East Orange minis
ters were present.
One of the interesting talks was by
f. w. Turner. of the Hyde Park Re-
formed Church. who believed it unjust
to let big dealers go about the city de-
liyering goods on the Sabbath, while a
small dealer would be unable to serve
an article to a would-be~ purchaser who
called at his store. The residents. he
believed, should insist on their ice
cream being delivered on Saturday
night. Church people, he said. caused
the largest part of work On Sundays.
"'Our mems clubs" he continued,
Twill have to get together and adopt a
new resolution-one to insist or having
their Sunday goods delivered on Satur-
day nights. | don't expect any good to
come of this ordinance till church peo-
pie carry out the letter of the law. Let
us talk straight. Any man here going
to church and having goods delivered
to his home next Sunday or any other
Sunday does wrong"
Charles F. Robinson, a business mar
of the city. sent a letter asking that
everything should be closed up tight or
the matter left alone. He suggested
that the ordinance be submitted to the
people at the next election.
Edward Aborn believed the church
people were apt to rush into the matter
without giving it proper consideration,
George Martin thought the Council
should place the entire fourth COM
mandment in the ordinance.
"You let the big sinner sin. and you
make the little sinner a criminal" said
The Rev. DIR. James F. Riggs said the
question at issue was not a religious
one. The young man who has to labor
the Sabbath should be helped. he
declared.
The Rev. Mr.. Pullan thought it time
to reduce the rapid encroachment be-
ing made on the Sabbath. The passing
of the ordinance will mean. he con-
the lifting higher of "the candle
good citizenship and letting the flame
be brighter"
The Rev. David O. Irving spoke for
the laboring class and said vices are
knocking for admission in East Orange.
L. D. Baldwin believed the standard
Sabbath observance could not be
raised too high in the Oranges.
Frank Wilson and James l.. Cara
brant favored the ordinance. The Rev.
David Brewer Eddy, the Rev. Mr.. Fer
ris, Ogden H. Bowers. the Rev. Mr..
Phraner, the Rev. Mr.. Wells and Will
K. Ostendyke also spoke strongly
in favor of the ordinance.

Frederick Schmidt, Who Killed
Peacemaker, Will Know His
Fate Next Monday.
CRIME COMMITTED
NEARLY FOUR YEARS AGO
Bond Of $1,000 Set by Judge
Ten Eyck Furnished by Con-
victed Mans Brother.

Frederick Schmidt, who, while on a
drunken rampage, killed Peter Has
ebert, a would-be peacemaker, with a
blow of his fist, pleaded non vult to a
charge of manslaughter in the Court of
Quarter Sessions before Judge Ten
Eyck today and was bailed in 81, 900
for sentence Monday afternoon. Charles
Schmidt, of 1872 Magazine street, a
brother, furnished the bond. The ex-
IRENE penalty for the offense is ten
years in State prison.
The Staying of Haschert occurred
August 2, 1904, and for various reasons
the trial was postponed after Schmidt
had pleaded not guilty. January 20,
1906, and February 3, following, We're
fixed, but the death of witnesses and
other delays deferred definite action UNI
til today.
Schmidt, according to the story told
to the police at the time, had just fin
ished abusing Jacob West, his brother
in-law, at 1872 Magazine street, when
the unfortunate Haschert, who lived
next door at No. 1874, tried to play the
part of peacemaker. He got a blow
in the face from Schmidt, fingered I'VE
days and died in st. James's Hospital.

never been issued, but the f%irehouses

Vetter Said to Have Had Tip on
Robbery Before It Was
to Occur.

Facts regarding a coup that an East
in that city a short time s when he
received a "tip" from a member of the
crook fraternity to the effect hat it
was planned to rob a house in Grove
street, East Orange. in the dead of
night are coming to light outside of the
regular police channels. The coup
failed.
The policeman, it Is said, was
Chanceman Gustav Vetter, and he had
to explain the matter before the police
committee of the East Orange City
Council. Members of the committee
had heard that the policeman collected
several other guardians of the law
from adjacent posts to watch the
Grove street house. Vetter explained
that his intentions were good in the
matter, and he believed he was work.
ing for the best interests of the resi-
dents. He denied that he had arranged
the LOB" himself for the purpose of
gaining promotion.
The police committee did nothing to
the policeman.
The several policemen who were to
nab the crooks at work crept up close
to the house on the night it was to be
robbed and lay in wait. But they had
a long and useless wait, and then hur-
ried back to their posts, downcast.
The crook who told of the intended
robbery said he would come along with
the other robber, and when the latter
was at work the cops were to swoop
in, and then it was thought somebody
would receive a gold medal. But the
crooks never came.

SUGGESTS THAT UNEMPLOYED MEN

A novel plan to let the unemployed
men in Montclair who are in need of
money for their families, turn the por-
tions of park property in that town not
yet used for park purposes into gardens,
was made to the Montclair Town Coun-
ell last night by the Rev. Thomas
Morgan, pastor of the Cedar Avenue
Presbyterian Church. that place.
The minister's ideas were conveyed
in a letter. He said he thought men
out Of work could raise vegetables on
parts of the various park plots pur-
chased during the last year thus earn
ing a little money. or at least keep
their wives supplied with things for the
table during the summer, when work
was slow.
Town Attorney Boyd said it would
require an act of the Legislature to
permit such use of the land. The coun-
cilmen did not seem to take to the
idea. They simply filed the letter.

all due respect to the clergyman the
idea is impracticable. Can you imagine

In his letter the Rev. Mr.. Morgan
referred to the fact that a delegation
mad recently asked Secretary of Ag-
riculture Wilson to open up unused land
for the unemployed, and hat the Sec

upon the State or municipality. He
