So many conflicting opinions were
expressed over important reform fea-
lures in the proposed revised East Or
ange charter at the special meeting of
the East Orange City Council last
night that action on determining the
final form of the measure was again
deferred another week.
There were two principal bones Of
contention. First, over the provision
that the Mayor should have power TO
suspend any official, including members
of the Board of Education, on charges,
pending trial by the Council. Second,
over the question whether The Mayor
should appoint a Water Commission,
or whether it should be named by the
Council, ana as to whether it should
consist of one or more men.

iii, She Said.

Witnesses in the case Of Johanna

and an order to show cause was
granted. At its return she appeared
with a DOCTORS certificate that she
had been ill on the day mentioned.
John |. Weller, counsel for Kohler,
brought two witnesses today, one who
stated that she had seen Mrs. De Lo-
renzo riding on a car on December %.
The other said that he had seen her
working around her saloon.

jected to suspension and trial. Chair
man Picrson eased their minds on at
least n point when he announced
that no effort had been made to reduce
the present membership of the board,
although he stated hat when the
charter is passed they win go out of
office and have TO be reelected, as will
all other officers of the city.
The provisions concerning the board
were read by City Counsel Jerome D.
Gedney. President william q. Thomas,
of the board, asked if the members of
the board were to be under the con
troll and supervision of the Mayor.
Mr.. Gedney replied that the Mayor
would have the power to suspend any
officer of the city-members of the
board to be considered officers-present
written charges and provide a trial.
Then the City Council is the court
regarding members of the board and
its employees asked Mr.. Thomas.
He was told that the provision did
not concern the teachers or other m
ployees of the board. as they were not
considered city officials.
Among those who took part in the
discussion were School Commissioner
Coulter, Police Recorder Franklin w.
Fort, Thomas r. Creole. Edward
HART, George r. Howe and Philemon
f. Woodruff.

COAST|NG BARRED
On MOUNTAIN SIDE
IN SOUTH ORANGE
Lovers of the Sport Lose Fight
to Use Steepest Hill in
the Village.

There is to be no coasting on South
Orange avenue, South Orange, this
year. Tho death knell was sounded to
the sport last night, when the South
Orange Village Board of Trustees re-
fused to grant permission to coast on
the avenue when a petition containing
several hundred names of voters was
presented.
The petition asked that coasting be
allowed OH the mountain from $3.50 to
II p. m. on weekday nights, and that
watchmen be placed at street crossings
and other places where there was dan
ger of collisions.
Cyrus Wallace, speaking for coasting,
said that two former village trustees,
Francis Spier, jr.. and John p. Herman,
had signed the petition, and in all of
the other suburbs eoasting was allowed.
Trustee Randolph Rodnan said that
autos were something to be considered
in crossing the streets. Wallace
thought they could be stopped with the
usual red lanterns at the street cross
ings.
IF you can stop autos 1t is more
than anyone else can do" said the
trustee.
Trustee Charles II. Burke asked Wall
lace If he thought it reasonable to ask
the Board to reconsider its action.
when coasting on South Orange avenue
was abolished by a vote of 4 to 1 at 4
previous meeting. The prime object OF
the ordinance, Mr.. Burke said, was TO
stop coasting on the avenue.
William Torrey Baird, who was tins
only trustee to favor coasting on the
avenue, took exception to Mr.. 3urke's
remarks.
Mr.. Wallace said that the only acci-
dent on the mountain was the injury
received by Tristan b. Souther and
John Gordon last winter, and the father
of the latter had signed the petition.

FIRE BUG PLACES
MATCH TO LARGE
IRWNGTON BARN
On Third Attempt He Succeeds
in Causing Destruction
of Big Building.

An incendiarv finally set fire to the
big LdttIefield barn in lrvington late
last night. after two unsuccessful at
temlpts on previous nights. The barn,
one Of the biggest in the town, was
totally destroyed at a loss of $4,000.
A milk house vas partly destroyed,
and a big dwelling. all unoccupied,
were saved only through the efforts of
the Newark ire department. The
nearest town hydrant was 1000 feet
away.
The barn, sup till last Saturday, was
leased by Frederick and John Friese,
of Normandy place and Weiland ave-
nue.. Irvington. They used it for their
chicken business Charles w. Little
field, a coal dealer, who owned the
buildings, sold part of his land and
bought the lease from the Frieses,
after some litigation had been settled.
The Frieses, who ARE respectable bust
ness men and we'll known in irving
ton, began moving away about a week
ago.
Last Thursday morning Frederick

with Kerosene standing in the middle
Of the barn f1oor. About it was a
burned patch where Kerosene had been
spread. Evidently the incendiary ex-
pected the bottle to burst under the
heat, scattering the oil about after he
had gone a safe distance. Friese noti-
fled the Irvington police that morning.
The next day Friese returned. as
! usual, to find that a horse blanket be-
longing to him had been saturated with
oil and set afire in his chicken house.
Again the blaze failed to set fire to the
place. He moved out all his goods last
Saturday.
Policeman Charles Schultz, of Irv-
ington, saw flames coming from the
big barn at 10:45 last night and turned
in the alarm. while Ruben Littlefield,
a brother of the owner. sent in another
alarm.

Drastic and complicated, an ordi-

to carry ashes across the street, and
provides a fine and imprisonment for

Village Trustee Rowland d. Perrine
introduced the ordinance with the OBJ
Ject of turning over the supervision of
the scavenger system to the Village
Boar of Health. The system at pres
ent is managed by tho Village Trus-
tees, and the Board of Health refuses
to look after it without power to act
when offenses are committed.
The proposed ordinance contains
t~hirty-one sections, and zach section
provides a fine and Imprisonment for
violation. One section stated that all
dead dogs and other animals must be
removed by the scavenger. 1t was
amended 10 except horses.
Still other sections of the ordinance
stated that every householder shoIld
have his name and address on every
garbage can, and that the wagons shall
be scrubbed and washed daily, as well
as inspected. Collections must be mad
OF alternate days and wagons must not
go within 800 feet of each other or u

When it was read Trustee Wallace

Mr.. Wallace suggested something
that he thought Mr.. Perrine had for

OH, FE, MR.. KENNY,
FOR GOING BACK ON
YOUR PET SCHEME!
Assemblyman Breaks Own Pro-
posed Law Against Stand
ing on Trolley Platforms.

Consistency has very often been n
characteristic of A~ssemblyman Edward
Kenny, of East Newark, his friends
say, but yesterday hesis alleged to have
displayed a persistent disregard of this
virtue while n passenger on the Turn
pike trolley line on his way to Jersey
City. when he rode all the distance on
the back platform of the car.
Recently Assemblyman Kenny intro
duced a bill in the Legislature which.
if passed, will prohibit anyone standing
on the rear platform of a trolley car
The sight of Mr.. Kenny himself indulg-
ing in a practise which he is trying
to prohibit by law was freely com.
mented upon by other passengers.
The assemblyman was interested in
a case in the Hudson County surro-
gates Office, and it was while on his
way there that he committed the
"rep~rehensible" act. He rode on the
platform of the car both going to and
coming from Jersey City, and. although
requested several times to step inside.
he refused, on the plea that he wanted
to enjoy the fine meadow air. Finally
a passenger from Hackensack called
his attention to the fact that, as the
author of a bill to prohibit standing on
the platforms, he should show the force
of a good example. but Mr.. Kenny re-
fused to be moved, SO the passengers
say.
