ON bmR|CKLAYERS
DEMOCRAT SLOGAN
Union Men to Take Action on
Orange Republican Candi-
dates Statement.

Out of a campaign noted for it's dull
ness comes the now famous controversy
over the reference made by County
Register Edward S. Perry, Republican
nominee for Mayor Of Orange, at a
meeting last week to the improbabillty
Of a bricklayer being competent to pick
a school principal. The Democratic
candidates for the smaller School
Board have taken the remark as their
slogan, and will make the most Of it.
There has been criticism of the state
ments by workmen In the city, and
members of the local Bricklayers'
Union have announced their intention
to send out open letters on the subject.
School Commissioner w. Stanley
smaller School Board ticket, and the
only school commissioner up for re-
election, was a target for attack by
Mr.. Perry on Saturday.
Mr.. Grinsted was today asked by an
EVENING STAR reporter to make a
reply to Register Perry's statement
printed on Saturday in which he offered
a criticism of the Democratic school
commissioner.
"Why, 1 have nothing to say in reply
to Mr.. Perry's statement as published
in THE EVENING STAR" he an
swered, Except that l regret there were
not more men of the Grinsted type In
the school board in the last two years.
l was elected to represent the people in
the management OF the schools, but was
always in a minority. We fought in the
board efforts not in accordance with
the welfare of the schools, and, If we
had had a majority of men referred to
by Mr.. Perry as the Grinsted type the
school system and the board would
have been spared much adverse criti-
cism. l am glad Mr.. Perry confirms the
newspaper report of his speech at the
Mems Club Of the First Presbyterian
Church anent the bricklayer criticism.
AS to Mr.. Perry's remark concerning
me, I have only to repeat, Whom the
gods would destroy they first make
mad"

MAYOR SHOENTHAL
NSPECISORANGE'
RESERVOIR SYSTEM
Water Will Soon Be Turned IDA~
the New $3.50, 900
CiStern.

Headed by Mayor Isaac Shoentha1
and CHAIRMAN Edward Cheetham, of
the water committee of the Orange
Common Council, a delegation of Off
cials yesterday inspected the recently
completed concrete reservoir on the
mountainside, West Orange, and then
looked over the pumping station in
Chestnut street, Orange Valley.
Mayor Shoenthal and the others were
well pleased with the manner in which
neer Fred T. Crane explained the de-
tails of the new water tank. Mayor
Shoenthal suggested a retaining wall at
the west side of the big tank in con-
junction with the present arrangements
at the reservoir, and this will be con-
structed.
Water will be turned into the big
reservoir and a test made of its eff
fciency. 1t is anticipated the pressure
furnished by gravity will exceed by
twenty pounds that given now.
With the final finishing touches to
the new auxiliary system, a matter of
the new auxiliary, the city will soon en-
joy sthe new arrangement, which has
cost in the neighborhood of $3.50, 900, and
lis intended to supplement the Old water
system, which has beer unsatisfactory
for years.
Mayor Shoenthal commended En-
gineer Henry Berg for the excellent con-
ditions prevailing at the pumping sta
ton.

BRING CAMPAIGN
IN HARRISON To
LIVELY CLIMAX
Both Parties Will Put Forth
Their Best Efforts in Final
Rallies.
DEMOCRATS PLAN TWO
MEETINGS, OPPONENTS ONE
Former Governor Stokes TO Be
One of the Speakers of an
Interesting Week.

A lively ending to the political CAM
paign in Harrison will lake place this
week, both parties planning a, strong
effort in the interests of their candi-
dates. Three meetings are scheduled
for the week, the first one taking place
tomorrow night at the headquarters Of
the Second District Fourth Ward DEM
ocratic Club. The speakers will be Eu-
gene F. Kinkead, candidate for Con-
gress; James Kelly shievalty nominee;
Luke Clark, Assemblyman Edward
Kenny, Councilman John ]. Daily AMI
Joseph p. Riordan, Democratic candi-
date for mayor of Harrison.
On Thursday night at the town hall
the Republicans will hold a big meet
ing under the auspices of the Republic
can town committee. Councilman
Clarence T.. Van Deren will be chair
man, and the speakers slated are for
mer, Governor Edward c. Stokes,
George w. Crichfeld,. candidate for
Congress; George Vickers, assistant
prosecutor Hudson county; James Nc
Carthy, Henry Newbold, candidate for
mayor of Harrison, and other local
speakers.
Friday night at the Harrison Town
a the Democrats will hold a big
rally under direction of the Democratic
town committee. John T. Malone,
president of the Harrison Board of
Health, will preside. Good speakers will
address h audience, among whom will
be Frank Katzenbach, of Trenton, Eu-
gene F. Kinkead, Assemblyman Ed
ward Kenny, Joseph p. Riordan, candi-
date for mayor, and other local candi-
dates.
The campaign in West Hudson this
year has been lively owing 10 the many
visits Of county candidates of both
parties, which is accounted for in part
by the important part played by West
Hudson in the Congressional race in
the Ninth District, Of which West Hud-
son is a part.
Although at present represented by a
Democrat, the district is normally Re-
publican, and the strong fight being
made by Engene r. Kinkead, Demo-
cratic nominee, has thrown a scare into
| the Republicans.

TOWNSEND SCORES
PARKER FOR HIS
LOVE OF CANNON
Congressional Candidate De-
clares That Actions of Speaker
Have Become a Moral Issue.
CONNECTION WITH ERIE
is CALLED BAD TASTE
Illinois Scar" an Object of Pub
lie Loathing, Says Jersey
Candidate.

In discussing the reply of r. Wayne
Parker, Congressman for the Seventh
District, Edward w. Townsend, the
Democratic nominee, f1ays Speaker Can
non and scores Parker as being with
out a conscience or in bad taste to ac-
cept retainers as counsel for the Erie
railroad, which h government is suing
as a part of the Coal Trust.
Mr.. Parker declared a high sense of
gratitude to Speaker Cannon, and said
he would again vote to make him
Speaker, II reelected, and admitted that
he, Parker, expected to be named as
head of the Judiciary, committee, which
is the Speakers burial ground for un-
desirable measures.
In reviewing the reply of Mr.. Parker
in which he admitted his admiration of
Speaker Cannon and his connection
with the Erie railroad, Mr.. Townsend
said:
IT firmly believe that the char
acter Of Speaker Cannon is
widely understood. People are by
no means as Indifferent to or
ignorant of such public. scandals as
some careless observers. believe. Not
much more than a year ago members
Of Congress who had profited by Can
mons favors were noisily advocating
his nomination as President. Did you
eyer stop to think why that manufac-
tured boom was so suddenly and totally
silenced? Those boomers felt the sting
of sharp rebuke from Republicans all
over t~heacountry. Moral men in every
State in the nation who are averse
from giving such advice to their Rep
resentatives in Congress-, wrote such
sharp letters to those Representatives
who were booming Uncle rIpe' sthat the
subject of his nomination was dropped
silently, but with significant abrupt
ness. 1t is difficult to believe that
a man of, Mr.. Parker's experience
and, intelligence can be ignorant.of the
public loathing for such a man as
Speaker. Cannon. Cannonism has be-
come a moral issue"
"How about MI. Parker's admission
that he is In. attorney for the Erie?'
the reportey asked.
"Well," replied Mr.. Townsend, II
suppose that is a question of good
taste. Mr.. Parker seems TO hold that
1t is not a monstrous breach of good
taste for a member of the House OF
Representatives to accept fees from a
railroad company which is a defendant
in a suit brought against it as q con-
stituent part of the coal trust.
IF Mr.. Parker can convince his con-
science that he is doing nothing Inn
moral in accepting fees from that rail-
road company under the circumstances,
I reluctantly admit that his act cannoi
be immoral, but / hold strenuously thai
it is mighty bad ethics. I am disap-
pointed, 1t saddens mt that such a
man as Mr.. Parker has shown himself
to be in his admissions offered as a de-
Tense should think that there Is a ma
jority of voters of the Seventh District
of New Jersey who want to be repre-
scented in Congress by such a man."

SOUTH ORANGE
METH0D|STS IN
FIVE DAY FEIE
Are Celebrating the Sixtieth AM
niversary of Inauguration
of Faith There.

A five days celebration in honor of
the sixtieth anniversary OF the begin
ming of Methodism in South Orange was
started in the Methodist Church of that
village yesterday.
The observance was begun In the
morning, when the Rev. Dr.. George H.
Whitney, pastor emeritus Of the Cen
tenary Collegiate Institut, at Hacketts-
town, and one of the founders Of that
faith in South Orange, delivered a SER
mon on The Hope of the World"
The Sunday school childre will hold
a social tonight, and tomorrow night
the Rev. DIR. George F. Eckman will
be the speaker. On Wednesday night
a meeting of the former pastors and
officials will be held and on Thursday
h observance will close with a social
under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid
Society.
DR.. Whitney In the course of his SER
mon gave a brief history Of Methodism
In South Orange. He told of how IN
the year 1S4S a few residents of the
village wishing to worship as Method
lists organized into a class Under the
leadership of C. s. Vancleve.
This class of which Matthias Tai
mage was the leader, met twice a week
at the homes of jeremiah Meeker and
David Thatcher" he said. AT that
time South Orange had but 120 inhabi-
tants, and the Presbyterian Church was
the only place of worship. The mode OF
Methodists attracted many persons to
the class meetings, and soon large ac-
commodations became necessary"
In 1849 DR.. Whitney said be begun to
help conduct the prayer meetings al
though he. was net at that time a
licensed preacher. He held open-air
meetings.
In 1858 a lot was purchased on Pros
pect street between Milligan place and
second street for SITS and a small chapel
Ell ected upon 1t.
The congregation outgrew this edidce
and in 1874 a larger church was erect
ed. The present church at Prospect
street and South Orange avenue, was
erected in 1901.

Detective Walter Oliver Re-

Detective-Sergeant Walter Oliver, of

d pupil at Kearny High School, who
rides his wheel to and from school,
shad the bicycle stolen from the institu-

the job. He worked for some time and
was at last rewarded when he spied 9
wheel which looked like the one Early
described as being his.
Hey, you! Come here with that
sbike!" shouted Oliver. But the rider
though willing to give up the bike, die
not like the idea of giving himself up
so with the ease of a circus acrobat
he dove head first over the handle bars
with a Johnny Hayes" stride and was
soon put of sight. Oliver got the whee
n brought it to the police station
where Early later claimed it.

.BElLEV|LLE WILL

Court Order for Right to Insert
Amount of Police Appr0.
priatiOn Wanted.

Township Counsel Andrew l.. Boylan.
of Belleville, will apply to Chief Justice
Gummere today for an order on the
county clerk to have the wording on the
ballots in Belleville changed. On the
ballots of both parties are the words
For and Against" an appropriation
for the police department. The words
do not state exactly and clearly to the
voter the amount of the appropriation,
and many in casting their ballot will,
through not understanding same, fail to
cross out either word. In this case no
vote upon the appropriation Will be re-
corded.
In an interview with County Counsel
Elvin w. Crane. Mr.. Boylan was in
formed that it was Illegal to make the
change. because the words. For" and
Against" were in the form of a prop
o~sition, and as such could not be al
tered. Mr.. Boylan holds hat it is nc
proposition, but merely a question Of
yes or no to a definite appropriation
and that the majority of voters OF
Belleville demand the Insertion of the
exact amount of the appropriation.

ORANGE COUNSEL
ONLY OFFICE NOT
IN CIVIL SERVICE
So Declares Colonel Mulliken in
Reply to Letter of Mayor
ShOenthal.

Mayor Isaac Shoenthal, of Orange,
received an answer to his letter, re-
garding the Civil Service Commission
from Colonel ]. r. Mullikea. of that
commission, this morning. The letter
was a reply to Mayor Shoenthal's re-
quest to know what offices would be in
the classified service, should Orange
adopt the civil service ordinance. Mr..
Mulliken, in his answer, stated that the
only office which would not be classified
was that of City Counsel.
The Orange Common Council. m
time ago, passed an ordinance adopting
the civil service reform bill. This bill
was vetoed by Mayor S~hoenthal, on the
ground that it had been rushed, and not
properly considered by the Council. At
the next meeting 1t was again taken
up and passed by the Republican ma
jority. Mayor Shoenthal has until
Tuesday in which to sign or vetoe the
bill, and considerable interest is taken
in the matter, as it viii have a great
bearing in the coming election.
