SAMUEL MARTIN
Belleville Republican Executive
Committee Chairman Pushes
Town Government Plan.

Denying that there was my politics
in the move, the Republican Executive
Committee of Belleville decided last
night to present a resolution to the
Belleville Township Committee tonight
asking that body to take action to-
wards a change of government Of that
municipality from a township to a
town. Two members, Thomas Berry
and James Rowbotham, both of Silver
Lake. who favor annexation to New
ark, opposed the plan.
After a special committee had re-
ported through former Township Coun-
sci Harold A. Miller that the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee had re-
fused to confer with the Republicans
in the matter, Chairman Samuel Mar
tin alluded to a petition presented to
the Township Committee by former
Township Committeeman Frederick
w. Ashworth, a Republican. Mr.. Mar
tin said he was pleased to see that Off
cial take enough interest in the town
ship to agitate n movement of this
hiiiu. ~ hS oplhlohi hONSNps MI
Ashworth went out of his way when he
stated that the action of the Repub-
lican Executive Committee in starting
the movement savored toe much OF
politics, and that the committee had
no right to take up such a question.
This is all nonsense, said the chair
man, who denied there was any poll
tics in the matter. The committee had
not only the right, he said. but it was
their duty to find out what the people
want and hen try to get it for them.

Lemons" HANDED
WRONG PERSON
START A BIG FUSS
Paper Bouquet Meant for Joke
at Orange Valley Entertain
ment Taken in Earnest.

An error in presenting a huge bou-
quet of paper oranges which bore a
striking resemblance to lemons, last
night a the parish theatrical enter
tainment at ST. venantius's Roman
Catholic Church, Orange, in the Ger
man English school hall, thai city,
created something of a surprise. and
the embarrassment which followed was
automatically Strengthened out by the
Rev. Father Peter Kurz, pastor of the
church.
One of the pensioners on his way
to the entertainment met a man with
the tissue paper arrangement that
looked like lemons, but which were
supposed to represent oranges and de-
cided to present them to Harry Win
ter, one of the players, as a joke. BY
mistake the young man who was asked
to make the presentation gave the coll
lection, to the Orange Valley Junger
Maennerchor, which took part in the
entertainment, and that body felt ag-
grieved because the men thought a
humorism was being attempted by the
Orange Maennerchor, which body also
SANG at the entertainment, but Father
Kurz smoothed out the misunderstood
ing, and everybody had a good laugh.
The entertainment was given by the
societies of the parish and was a sue
cess. Two one-act farces were given.

FOAl GRIZZLY BEAR IN zoo
NOT WISE ENOUGH TO EVADE
YELLOWSTONE PARK PLOT.
Now he Languishes in Captivity in
Rock Creek Park-"Buster''
Has Corn Trimmed.

The newest arrival at the Zoo is a griz-
ly bear
He is the very bear that trotted down
a mountainside in the Yellowstone Park
recently and walked straight into a tre-
mendous trap placed there especially for
him by the United States officials at the
request Of Supt. Baker Of the National
Geological Park in this city.
The trap was in reality a large cage,
iron-barred and made doubly secure by
thick oak planks. 1t was baited with
dainty bits of meat. which a hungry griz-
ely could not resist.
The trap was made to look like a nat
ural and respectable cavern into which
any decent bear might wander without
getting mixed up in a rumpus with ZOO
logical experts. So well arranged was it
that one of the wariest and strongest
bears ever taken into captivity walked
straight to what he probably now CON
siders his doom.
The grizzly and the cage were loaded
upon a wagon and later sent to this
city. He arrived at the park yesterday.
Supt. Baker was there to meet him. He
was then quickly transferred to his
quarters in the Zoo.
The newcomer is three and One-half
years of age and weighs AS pounds.
A male brown bear has also been re-
ceived recently from Germany and a
brown bear cub from the Boring Sea
coast of Alaska. Several other bears are
expected from different parts Of the world
