IN HARRISON
Five Saloonmen Charged with
Violations of the
Law.

That the authorities of Harrison are
determined to put a stop to beer-selling
in their town on Sunday is shown by
the fact tina today Chief of Police
Michael Rodgers made charges to the
police justice against the following sa-
loon-keepers, who are said to have vio-
lated the law last Sunday: George
Strip, Railroad avenue and Seventh
street; James Mclaughlin, Railroad
avenue and Fifth street; Hansen's cafe,
Middlesex and Fourth streets; Patrick
Doherty, First street and Harrison ave-
nue., ant Patrick Carey, 211 John street.
The first three conduct their business
within a stones throw of each other,
and the two last named are about three

in the police court tomorrow night.
This is the second time that saloon
keepers have been arraigned for Sun
day selling, the other arraignment has
amounted to anything.

CLUB M RESTING
FOR FALL ACTIVITIES
What Some of the People You
Know Are Doing This
Summer. Il

The fashionable residential sections of
the Oranges. notable for the palatial
homes of some of New Jerseys fore
most society and club leaders, are de-
serted these hot summer days and
present a striking contrast to the time
when the social world is at it's height
and when the homes of the wealthy
are open for gay entertainments and
dances. The society folks are now at
the seashore or mountains or travelling,
leaving trusty servants and uniformed
guardians of the law to protect their
homes.
Everything of a social nature is at a
standstill at the present time, but when
he new season opens there is promise
of much gayety, as there are several
buds of last season who will no doubt
enjoy a round of gayeties.
1t is very probable that the home of
Mrs. Thomas A. Edison, of Llewellyn
Park, will be the scene of much gaiety.
Mrs. Edison is a charming hostess and
her daughter is just out.
The beautiful home of Dr.. Mary D.
Hussey, of 142 Arlington avenue, East
Orange, is open at the present time,
but it is expected that DR.. Hussey will
spend the month of September and
perhaps october at her bungalow at
Point Pleasant.

HARRISON TOWN
CLERK DEAL SLIPS
A COG OR TWO
Councilman Was to Have
Changed His Vote to Break
Long Deadlock.
SULLIVAN WAS TO
HAVE BEEN CHOICE.
But the Quid PFC Quo Couldn't
Be Delivered, So 1t
Was All Off.

If everything went according to ex-
pectations at the Harrison Common
Council last night there would be a
town clerk in Harrison today; at least
an EVENING STAR reporter was SC
informed today by a man well-known
in political circles, and in the work
ings of the Common Council in the
West Hudson town.
For The past four months the Coun-
ell has deadlocked on the appointing
of a clerk in place of Bernard p. Walsh.
who was made treasurer, succeeding
the late Edward j.. Grace. Four of
the members, Councilmen Witt, Van
Deren, Dolphin and President DAILY,
supported Peter J. Goodman for the Of
flee, while Councilmen O'Connor, Sui
livan, Henry and Rice voted for John
j. Sullivan, a brother of Councilman
Sullivan.
The deal that did not go through
last night, was, it Is said, to have
worked as follows: A councilman who
has been voting for Goodman right
along was to have turned his color,
provided a mar he named would be
appointed as inspector on the Davis
avenue improvement. Sullivan's sup
porters were to have voted to have
this man appointed, although he does
not live in the Fourth Ward, where the
improvement is to be made. 1t is said
to be customary to name a man from
the ward In which the improvement is
nade to inspect the work to be done
in the ward.
As told in another column, bids were
received for the work, and motion was
made to award 1t. Here is where the
breach is said to hav occurred. Coun-
Gilman Rice said hat he had been told
by property-owners on Davis avenue
that they would rather wait and see
what kind of pavement the Imperial
pavement is. as 1t is much cheaper than
telford. On the vote to award the
work, the motion was lost by a vote
of 4 to 4. The question of the clerkship
was not brought up on account of this,
1t Is said, as the councilman who was to
have changed his vote would have re-
fused on account of the Davis avenue
affair.

COUNCIL SPLITS
ONCE MORE OVER
DAVIS AVENUE JOB
Harrison Officials Further Delay
Paving After Weary
Waiting.

More delay over the proposed pave
ment of Davis avenue, from Harrison
avenue to the Erie Railroad, Harri-
son, which has hung fire for over two
years, occurred at the Harrison Com
mon Council meeting last night when
bids for the work were opened and the
awarding of the contract held up by a
tie vote. The bids for telford pave
ment We're: John F. Stanley & Co.,
$40, 796. so; Van Kouren & Sons, $11, 253;
George S. Williams, 81, 1897. so. The vote
for awarding the contract to Stanley
G. Co, stood: For, Councilmen Witt,
Van Deren, Dolphin and President
DAILY; against, Councilmen O'Connor,
Sullivan, Rice and Henry.
The Davis avenue paving has been
a choice zone of contention in Harri-
son officialdom for a long time. 1t was
represented hat some of the residents
wanted telford and others wanted as
phalt. Now it appears hat the mat
ter Is held up because it is alleged that
some of the people in the street
are interested in a new pave
ment offered by the Imperial Company,
which is trying to get into the town.
The Imperial people sent a letter to
the Council stating hat they would not
pave Jersey street from Second to
Third street free, as a sample, I'M
less the were assured hat they
would get an order to lay 10000
square yards in other streets in
the town. provided the Jersey street
pavement "a satisfactory. On motion
of Councilman Van Deren, the clerk
was instructed to notify the paving
concern that If they did not start the
Jersey street work within thirty days
they could count on their original offer
to do the work free a dead issue.
A petition from Warren street tax
payers was read. They object strenu-
ously to having the Imperial pavement
laid in their street, their claim being
that they have never heard anything
of the pavement. The petition was
placed on file.
Councilman Sullivan offered a reso,
luton i%nstructing the chief of police
to enforce the bottling ordinance in the
town. He said he understood that a
number of dealers We're selling bottled
beer, although only one license has
been issued, and that to Peter Hauck
& Co. Councilman Dolphin said that
it should not be necessary to instruct
the police chief to enforce an ordi-
nance, as hat was his duty.
David Steinfeld was appointed dog
catcher, not without being opposed,
though. Councilman Witt said he had
recently given Kearny a lot of trouble
in trying to perform his duties.
