LIGHTING OF COTTON WILL
HASTEN OLD COMPLICATION
Expected Litigation Over Contract
Assigned TO Home Company Will
Be Commenced When City
Is Illuminated

REDLANDS. Oct 2t.-The Home
Gas and Lighting company has COM
menced the construction of high
power electric line from this city to
Cotton to begin the street lighting for
that city ON December /. This is ex-
pected to hasten the litigation expected
over the Cotton lighting contract.
The contract, under which the Home
company expects to do the lighting, was
granted to Seth Hartley more than a
year ago and by him assigned to the
Home company. The city authorities
are inclined to think the contract is
invalid and recently advertised for
bids for new contract but these have
never been opened When the Home
company attempts to enter Cotton it
is more than likely litigation will be
commenced.

SAY YOUTH
ANNOYS GIRLS

George w. Mercer, OF SO Gordon
street, reported to Sergeant Multi
gan, at police headquarters, last
night, that a man was prowling
around, and acting queerly. Patrol
man Andrew Jensen was detailed to
investigate.
The patrolman arrested Joseph
Belofsky, young Hebrew, who could
not speak English. A number of the
residents of Gordon and adjacent
streets say the fellow is in the habit
of following girls, at night. William
Henry was in court to press the
charge. Chief Burke released Belof-
sky on s100 bail until tomorrow
morning.
The police have had a number of
complaints of youth who follows
girls on the way home at night and
they think that Belofsky is the man.
Only a week ago Sergeant Mulligan
was called to Gordon street, on COM
plant of Miss Elsie Mercer, who COM
planned of man who was lettering
near their house. The fellow had
disappeared when the sergeant reach
ed the place. A few nights ago Pa
trolman Jensen was sent on the same
sort of an errand. He caught Belof-
sky, but he was allowed to go, with
warning.

Justice Bergen in
Trenton Today
Signed It.
SEVEN REASONS
Lawyer Peterson in Trenton To-
day Representing Some VoIun-
leer FIremen- Stated Over
The Telephone That the
Date For the Hearing
On the Writ Was Set
Down for June T.
At StandsiiIl.

In telephone message to the
EVENING NEWS, this afternoon,
Lawyer Peter A. Peterson, who is in
Trenton, stated that Supreme Court
Justice Bergen, today, granted writ
of certiorari preventing the Board of
Aldermen from carrying out the pro-
visions of the ordinance establishing
partly paid fire department in this
city.
Mr.. Peterson stated that he had
presented seven reasons to the court
why the ordinance should not be put
into effect. Acting on these reasons,
the justice signed the writ.
According to Mr.. Peterson, the
hearing on the writ was set down for
June 2, thus tying up further action
until that time.
Mr.. HOmmann's Statement.
When City Attorney Hommann
was told of Mr.. Peterson's message
this afternoon, he said it was usually
customary to grant a rule to show
cause why writ should not be
granted first, before the writ is sign
ed. This would give the city a
chance to have its side heard before
anything permanent was done. Mr..
Hommann said it was strange that
the court should sign the writ at
once. He added that IL writ of
certiorari has actually been signed IT
would tie up the fire ordinance a
great deal longer than June. He
pointed out that June 2, the date
mentioned by Mr.. Peterson as the
time for the hearing, is the day for
the opening of the June term of the
supreme court. A rule to show
cause, which is usually granted first
would be heard much sooner than
that.
Deny knowledge OF It.
When one of the volunteer firemer
most strongly opposed to the paid
department was seen this afternoon
he denied knowledge of Mr.. Peter
sons action. This fireman admitted
being in Mr.. Peterson's office las
night, but he asserted that his visit
was not connected with the fire de-
partment matter. Shortly after this
fireman entered Mr.. Peterson's Office
last night, three others were seen te
do likewise. =
