ORANGE
MAYOR PLACED
UNDER ARREST
But It Was Only a Little Joke
Played by MI. CardwelPs
Friends.
HE is CELEBRATING
HIS 54TH BIRTHDAY
Hailed to Court and Placed on
MISREPRESENTATION Then
Follows.

Mayor william Cardwel1. Of East
Orange, was arrested today in his office
in the City Hall. Chief of Police James
Bell made the arrest, on complaint of
John Doe. In fear and trembling the
city's executive was led before Re-
corder Francis Mott. jr., in the Police
Court.
The courtroom was crowded with
city officials and employees as the
mayor was led before the bar. There
were smiles throughout the room, but
to the mayor they appeared in deri-
sion and at his discontinue. Innocent
of any wrong-doing his questions as
to why he was being treated SO igno-
miniously were unanswered.
The recorder read the complaint to
the effect thai the mayor was charged
with the violation of that rule which
required of men that they first seek
their own comfort n pleasure n
shirk public service or responsibility.
The complaint went on to say that the
mayor had served the city of East Or
ange for fourteen years diligently and
faithfully as councilman, chairman OF
the City Council and mayor, thus vio-
lating the rule referred to above.
City Counsel Jerome D. Gedney prose-
cuted the case and City Clerk Lincoln
E. Rowley represented the defendant.
The mayo pleaded not guilty, but
was forced to plead guilty by counsel.
The case was referred to a Jury Of de-
partmental heads and the mayor was
presented with a handsome gold pin set
with an Australian stone and diamond.

MAY REARREST WOMAN
WHO HURLED LAMP.
Thought that EdmundsOn's
Skull Was Broken.

Fearing that his skull might possibly
be fractured the doctors In st.
Michaels Hospital, Newark, today de-
cided to open the stitches that had
been taken in the scalp of Josiah Ed
mundson, of 2 Clark avenue, Kearny.
Edmundson was struck on the head
with a lamp thrown by his sister-in-
law, Mrs. Mary Flaherty, in a quarrel
that took place at the Clark avenue
address late Saturday night.
Mrs. Flaherty, who was arrested by
Patrolman Thomas Dolan, after the
~fracas, has been released under $500
ball. John MCCARTHY, a Kearny
grocer, was her bondsman. Should II
be learned at the hospital that Ed
mundson's skull has been fractured II
is likely that the Flaherty woman will
be rearrested.

WOULD BAR
SANTA CLAUS
FROM SCHOOLS
East Orange Board of Education
Doesn't Approve of Gifts
to Teachers.

Santa Claus is scheduled for a cold
of East Orange. for the Board of Edu-
cation asst night passed a resolution
advising principals and teachers to dis
courage as much as possible the giving
of presents by pupils. If the journey is
not too far for Santa, however, he may
leave the gifts at the homes and board
lighthouses of the ~pedagogues.
Commissioner Eppstein favored pro-
hibiting the giving of presents entirely,
but some of the other commissioners
thought this too cruel a proposition
and said SO very strongly. 1t was
claimed that often twenty pupils of a
class of forty made gifts to their in
structors, yet Mr.. Eppstein did not be-
lieve all gave through pure sentiment
alone, but that they wanted to dem
onstfate the ability to give rested in
their power just as much as 1t did
with Johnny Jones or anybody else.
He finally agreed to the amendment.
Miss Nancy Vanderberg, a pupil in
the High School, who was recently
taken i'll while in school, and on the
advice of her teacher, Miss Alice e.
Freeman, went home without consult
ing Principal Evans, claimed through
counse she was old the next day she
must do two weeks extra work to
make up for the one day she had been
away. Principal Evans, it was stated,
had made this declaration. Miss Van
derberg said Mr.. Evans had not treated
her entirely right, and a demand was
made that she be allowed to return
with no penalty imposed. She has been
away from her studies now six weeks.
The committee on schools was in
structed to take the matter up imme-
diately.

SULPHUR
SPRING FOUND
IN EAST ORANGE
Plan of Erecting Sanitarium Is
Suggested to the City
Officials

A sulphur spring from which $4,000
gallons of water flows daily has been
discovered AT the municipal water
works of East Orange at White Oak
Ridge, Millburn, and it has been
demonstrated that the city can pump
200, 900 gallons from it each day. 1t is
thought by the officials that a sani-
tarium could be erected IN alknoll near
the spring, and this would net East
Orange about $25, 900.
The find has been reported to the
water committee. but it has not been
decided as yet what disposition will be
made of the new well. The odor of
sulphur is very strong three hundred
feet away. Mayor William Cardwell
has become interested in the well, and
will make an inspection there tomor-
row..

that the years between IA and 16 were

by those who attended school until
they were 49," he said.
Mr.. Lovejoy scored the present school
curriculum. THE children should be
taught those things which will be
worth their while" he said. THE
studies presented are adapted to the
old cultural state when children could
learn Latin and Greek and get a better
position because of their knowledge.
