HAD TO ASK HIS WIFE
HOW HE WOULD VOTE.
East Orange Man Didn't Care to
Sign Special Election Petition
Till He Saw Spouse.

1t Is known generally hat while
women do not possess the right of suf-
frage, they have the control of some
votes. This was evidenced particularly
to some Democrats in the third dis
trict of the Third Ward of East Orange,
when they went through the district
soliciting signatures to petitions for a
special election to pass on the continu-
ance Of the voting machines in the dis
trict.
One solicitor encountered a man to
whom he told the purpose of his visit.
WELL" said the man, as he scratched
his head in thought. before l sign the
petition I'll have to see what my wife
thinks about the matter"
The committee in the meantime has
become assured of signatures enough
from men who do not have to consult
their female partners regarding their
political actions. and the petition will
be presented to City Clerk Lincoln g.
Rowley probably this week, after which
he will order a special election.

There was $685. 81 in the mans pocket
at the time of his death. Neitzel leaves
no children.
Neighbors of Neitzel became alarmed
when he did not appear last night, and
were about to notify the police when
they saw in THE EVENING STAR the
count of an unknown mans death,
and, from the description given, sus-
pected he might be Neitzel.
II read the description of the man in

KEARNY OFFICIALS
DECLARE WAR ON
TELEPHONE CO.
Latter Won't Yield in Fight Over
Rates-COuncil Plans Do
ing a Few Things.

Kearny Councilmen are up in arms
against the New York and New Jersey
Telephone Company for their failure
to make an amicable agreement with
telephone users of West Hudson at a
consultation recently held between
Mayor Brock and several members of
the Council and telephone company.
The Mayor reported last night that
the company would make no conces-
sions in the rate war.
Councilman Reid said that the COM
pany should be compelled to live up
to the letter of the law If 1t were to be
$50 stiff with local phone users. He
made a motion giving the telephone
company thirty days to remove all rot
ten poles in the town and replace them
with new ones and to repaint all the
company's poles in Kearny.
There was also talk of compelling the
company to place wires underground.
and 1t is to be learned whether or not
the Council can demand this. II the
Council finds 1t has this power imme-
diate steps will be taken to compel the
work being done.
Councilman Reid brought to the
Councils attention express charges
that exist in the town. The town at
torney will be asked for his opinion on
the matter, and if possible the Council
will act.
The Borough of North Arlington was
a target OF criticism regarding sewer
age. Councilman Reid said that the
borough is emptying its sewers into the
Elm street sewer. He said action
would at once be taken to put a stop
to 1t.
The fatality that occurerd east of the
Schuyler avenue crossing of the Erie
Railroad In Kearny yesterday was the
cause of goading the Council to action.
Councilman Reid reported that the Erie
Railroad people promised to erect gates
at the fatal crossing a year ago.. but
they have gone no further than to
erect a base for gates n bring a
shanty to the crossing. which has been
lying on its side since 1t was brought
there.
The clerk was instructed to write the
company and lay particular stress on
the accident of yesterday.

TEN KILLED IN
A TROLLEY CRASH
EMPLoYE LOST CONTROL OF
HIS MOTOR ON STEEP
INCLINE.
CARS WE'RE CROWDED
WITH PASSENGERS
In the Mad Struggle To Escape Many
Women and Children Were Tram
Piled Upon, About One Hundred BE
ing Injured.

Philadelphia, Pa, May 25.-Awful In
its result was wreck of trolley cars
OH the Chestnut Hill traction line
about IL miles outside the city, late
Sunday night, and meager information
is to the effect that ten persons are
dead and nearly 100 injured.
The day was an ideal one, and all
outgoing cars we're crowded with pleas
ure seekers. At the place where the
accident occurred there Is a steer
grade, and one car, from some un.
known cause, left the track at the bot.
tom of the grade. Right behind II
were others. The derailing of the one
seems to have knocked the nerve out
of the motormen of these others. Five
motormen lost control of their cars,
and one by one, in quick succession,
they crashed into the first, their
precious freight having no chance of
escape.
News OF the disaster was at once
sent to the city. and physicians, nurses
and ambulances fastened to the scene.
Meanwhile homes In the neighborhood
were converted into temporary hos.
pitals and every aid possible given by
the citizens.
The current was cut of by the
breaking of the trolley wires so that
It was impossible to send relief cars to
the scene. Owing to the distance and
the difficulty Of communication def.
mite Information is hard to secure.
One report Is 10 the effect that the
first car to b5 wrecked was derailed
by second car on cross line crash
ing into 1t, but this can not be verified.
The wreck occurred on the Chestnut
Hill branch of the Schuylkill Valley
Co.'S line at Thorp's lane. In the mad
struggle Of the passengers to get out
of the smashed-up cars, which were
left in total darkness, many women
and children were trampled upon. and
It is these who constitute the majority
of the injured.
Men who succeeded in escaping
themselves we're horror-stricken on
learning that wives and children were
still struggling in the cars and plunged
into the mass OF passengers again to
save them. The cries and means of
the injured were heard by residents In
the sparsely settled neighborhood, who
at once went to their rescue.
