ADMISSION FEE
At EAST ORANGE
GROUNDS ALLOWED
Action to Prevent 1t Cannot Be
Taken Till Supreme Court
Gives Verdict.

Despite strenuous efforts on the part
of several property-owners in the
vicinity of the East Orange playground
to prevent the Fairgrounds Commits
sion from charging an admission fee
to athletic games played there this year,
the contests cannot be prevented until
next February, at least. Jerome d.
Gedney, city counsel. appeared before
the Supreme Court at Trenton last week
and argued the writ secured by Ralph
| H. WLum, of Newark, which, however,
did not allow a stay, and Judges Garri-
son, Parker and Voorhees, reserved de-
cision. The decision will probably be
announced in February of 1909.
The commission secured the passage
of an act at the last session of the
Legislature giving it power to allow
athletic games to be played on the play
ground, which was formerly known as
the Orange oval, following a bitter con-
test led by nearby residents, who tried
by legal measures to prevent the erec-
ton of a grandstand. Mr.. Lum at
Trenton in his argument recited that
the playground was to have been used
for children, and that the commission
had no authority to rent it to outside
parties.
Only one game has been played on
the playground since the commission
secured permission to allow an admis-
sion fee to be charged. The Orange
A. C. football team secured the permit,
but has since been playing it's games
at Ashland Field, which is under the
control of h Board of Education. 1t
is now thought that the team or other
organizations will again use the play
ground.
One point going to the credit of the
commission is that the city gains when
an admission fee is charged by a
private organization at the oval. An
almost equal division of the gate re-
ceipts is received by The city. and 1t
has been believed by the members that
money so received will pay expenses for
the year.

The Second ward is the home of old

what the attitude of the Regulars

$50, n yet ran away behind the Re-
publican leaders on the ticket.
Mr.. Seymour and his friends continue
to be confident the count will not be
changed by the result.

Gallant "Preserver" on the Job!

No wilder nor more exciting burglar
chase took place in East Orange recent

day, when Police Recorder Francis A..
Mott, jr., of East Orange backed up by
four policemen, hunted for a burglar
a dream burglar-for one hour.
About / a. m. the recorder, who lives
in Maple avenue, in the rear of the
Day residence, was awakened by cries
Of "Burglars!" and "Robbers!"
Recorder Mott rushed to a rear win
dow and, looking in the direction from
which the cries came. he saw a white
robed figure at a second-story window
in his neighbours house.
where's the burglar?''' shouted Mott.
"At the front door!' was the fright
ened answer.
Whereupon the recorder jumped to
the phone and called for policemen,
and then jumped into his trousers and
sailed forth.
Recorder Vaults Fences.
But before Mott reached the centre
of activities assistance had come in the
pOiool VI IoiiCCiihH ciidW, WHO udu
been on his beat about North Grove
street, and whose attention had also
been arrested by the screams. The re-
corder took the shortest cut, which hap
pened to be over back fences and
through the neighbors' hedges and gar
dens. With the overcoming of eac OBJ
stacle the judge shouted encouragement
to the frightened figure at the window.
When he reached the house, three
ops besides Shaw-Ellam, Gardner and
Winters-had arrived. They scattered
and surrounded the house. Front door
and back door, windows and cellar door

INTOXICATED BOYS
SEIZED IN ORANGE
ARM0RY DOORWAY
Fifteen and Sixteen Years Old,
Say They Drank Quart
of Whiskey.

Policeman Roberts was patroling his
beat in William street, Orange, Satur-
day night, when he came across W
boys huddbd up in the doorway OF
the armory building. He attempted to
arouse the lads and found they were
intoxicated. One. Charles Good, ID
years old, OF 14s Washington street,
was seen to be in a bad state, n he
was taken to Memorial Hospital.
There it was necessary to use a stom-
ach pump, and after a while he came
around.
Today he and his companion, Lau-
renee Writ, 16 years old, of Lakeside
avenu Orange, were a~rraigned before
Judge Bray. 1t developed that they
had drunk a quart of whiskey between
them. When an effort was made to
learn how they obtained the whiskey
they told contradictory stories. They
finally agreed that they gave a quarter
to a negro, who bought the liquor in
Main street.
Writ was arrested a few months
ago, and at that time gave his age rs
IA. They were both placed on proba-
ton, in charge of Probation Officer
Gascoyne, and were ordered to pay ten
cents a week for twenty weeks.

CLAIM INSANE MAN
CANNOT Be HELD
FOR BANKRUPTCY
Special Master Hears COnten-
ton of Relatives of East
Orange Man.

The question of whether an insane
man can be declared a bankrupt is be-
ing threshed out today before Special
Master Edwin G. Adams, of the United
States District Court, in the case of
William r.. Ward, of East Orange.
Creditors of Mr.. Ward declare he
should be held legally responsible for
transfers of property to Benjamin
Treacy, Of Jersey City, last year, and
the family of Mr.. Ward contend he is
mentally incapable of t~ransacting his
business and, therefore, cannot be held
responsible as a bankrupt. In proceed
ings brought in the Orphans Court,
Mrs. Anna d. Ward, wife of the alleged
bankrupt, and Henry L. Pointer were
appointed guardians of Mr.. Ward, and
Andrew j. Taylor receiver of his estate.

SPENCER ACCUSED
Of STEALING $500
FROM EMPLOYER
Irv7ngton Man Declared to Have
Devised Clever System
of Purloining.

Eus,ene Spencer, colored, of &c Tiff
any place, Irvington, a salesman en-
ployed by John Decker, II Tiffany
place. Irvington, was arrested in that
place Saturday and held in $1,000 bail
for a hearing tonight before Recorder
Turton. He is charged by his employer
with the embezzlement of 500.
Decker is a butter and egg merchant,
and Spencer was employed by him to
cover a route. He had the authority to
make collections. Several weeks ago,
Decker, SO he says, detected Spencer
taking more goods out of the store
than he charged against himself and
an investigation was started.
Decker says that he found that Spen-
Ger sold goods and instead of charging
up the customer simply entered names
of streets. When the employer tried
to find these customers he found it i'm
possible as no street number or names
were given.
Last Wednesday Spencer was called
into his employers office and charged
with theft. Decker says that Spencer
admitted his guilt and offered to make
restitution.
1t is further stated by Decker that
Spencer promised to- take Mr.. Decker
or a clerk over the route and in that
way enable Decker to straighten out ac-
counts. Instead of doing this, Decker
says Spencer hired another wagon pur-
chased goods from another merchant
and continued serving Decker's GUS
tomers.
A complaint followed and Spencer
was arrested Saturday and furnished
security for a hearing tonight.

Saturday while out hunting in a wood

Coleman came across an apple tree
on which all alone on a top branch was
a fine specimen of the northern spy
Coleman secured a long pole and,
with difficulty, managed to dislodge
the apple. When it fell it struck him
in the left eye and he fell over back
ward. His setter dog seized the apple
and ran off with it.
Coleman got up and pursued the dog
when a hog put in an appearance and
ran between Co.eman's legs. Over
Coleman went again. Then the hog
charged on the dog and compelled it to
drop the apple.
The hog ate the fruit and Coleman
went home to nurse a badly bruised and
discolored optic.
