NIXUP HEADS OFF
REFERENDUM VOTE
ON PARK MATTER
South Orange Residents Along
Proposed Parkway Voice
Their Protests.

AS a result of a misunderstanding ON
the part of owners of property abutting
on the proposed Grove Road Parkway
route to connect South Orange avenue,
South Orange and Orange Park. Or
ange, the question of whether or not
South Orange will accept the land lying
between Strathern avenue and Grove
road, that village, and appropriate
81, 500 for its drainage will not be placed
before the voters of South Orange for
a referendum at the spring election to
be held April rs.
The South Orange Village Board of
trustees, at a meeting several weeks
ago, decided on the referendum solu-
ton after the land was offered to the
village by the Grove Park Association.
Since Their the Grove Park Association
has asked that the village accept the
land valued at $40, 900 and a mortgage of
SIS. 900 which it carried.
When the offer was made it was the
.supposition of the owners of land bor-
dering IN the proposed route that the
entire expenses of constructing the
parkway would be borne by the Park
Commission. Since then they have
been informed that they alone must
bear the expense, and protests against
its construction have been registered.
A special meeting of the trustees will
be held May 80 to decide the matter.

SECRET "FRATS"
MAY Be BUSTED
OUT OF SCHOOL
East Orange Board of Education
to Take Drastic Action
Against SnObbishness.

A report dealing with fraternities in
the East Orange High School is to be
presented by the committee on schools
of the Board of Education in that city
at the next meeting. 1t is said that
the board will stand opposed TO the
existence Of the societies..
A year ago the commissioners sent a
letter to the parents whose children
were to return to the school or enter
for the first time, advising them To
keep the children out of the societies.
There were four fraternities in the
school then, and there are four there
today.
At the last meeting of the board,
Commissioner Eppstein surprised his
colleagues by introducing a resolution,
which passed, calling for a report on
the societies, which have existed and
iourished despite the protestants Of
the board, and the school committee
promises to have something TO say oil
the matter Monday night. According
to the claim made by one official II
year ago the fraternities have made
several candidates ride the goat in a
cemetery.
The board has also decided to ecure
by condemnation proceedings the pgop-
erty located at Nos. 20 and "a Walnut
street, known as the Hedden and Mary
S. johnson estate properties, in the
rear Of the High School. The board
will pay $S1 900 FOR the ground so as
to erect a new building or am addition
TO relieve the present crowded condi-
ton. Victor w. VOORHEES, and Joel
HIATT appraised the property at the
request of the board.

MAY PERMIT SUNDAY
BALL in WEST ORANGE.

The first step toward removing the
ban from Sunday baseball in West
Orange was taken last night by the
West Orange Town Council when thai
body passed a new town ordinance on
first reading emitting reference to base
ball as being Illegal.
Mayor William &c. Condit and Coun-
~ciln}en j. Wilbur Meeker and Joseph
Stevens opposed the amendment. Coun-
Gilman Gillick favored baseball, saying
that If Sunday golf were allowed Sun
day ball ought to be. too. He saw no
difference between the two sports, al
though it was pointed out that ball
games usually drew big, noisy crowds
and golf games did not. If the new
ordinance finally passes, the boys will
not be molested il they play ball quiet
~, unless there are too many COM
plants against them.

BOXER
PUTS TWO THUGS
OUT OF BUSINESS.
James Richards Felt Strong
After Seeing Joe Cans at
a Local Theatre.
HE GIVES HOLD-UP MEN.
ST EACH FOR LICKING EN-
They Tried to Take His "RoII"
While He Was Walking
Home to RichfieId.

James Richards, an old-time boxer,
who is spending the balance of his days
on a farm near the Hepburn place. in
Richfeld, after attending a burlesque
in this city last night and wit
Messing a rafting go between Joe
Cans and the latter's boxing partner,
Adam Ryan. started home on a trolley
car in high spirits. He told the con-
ductor and the passengers on the rear
platform OF his meeting with Cans.
II believe l could stand before him
for a few minutes at that he said,
and then he made a few passes at an
imaginary opponent n incidentally
rang up a few fares in doing so.
Beg pardon" he said to the conductor
and then he settled with the latter, ,ex-
hibiting a big wad of bills as he did so.
Two rough-looking fellows observed
the act. and the conductor saw them
nudge each other.
Richards left the car at Bloomfield
Centre to change to the Orange and
Passaic Valley line. The strangers did
likewise.
Warned ~ Loak Out.
Keep an eye on those fellows the
conductor whispered to Richards.
Don't worry about me- the latter
replied.
At the Bay avenue terminus of the
trolley line Richards started to walk
home, a distance of nearly three miles.
The other two men preceded him. They
were far ahead of Richards by the time
he had reached the postoffice in Brook
dale. Just beyond the Hepburn farm
his thoughts We're rudely interrupted
by the command, Hands up!" and from
behind a tree stepped the two men.
One seized him by the arms, while
the other started TO go through his
pockets. 1t was then that the fighting
blood of Richards was aroused and he
sailed into the two men in the way he
had seen Cans do it to Ryan.
A Great "MiII.,
1t was nothing but ~uppercuts, under
cuts, solar plexuses and other blows
that Richards landed on the fellows.
They fought hard for an opening, but
Richards was himself once more and he
battered the men until his arms were
tired.
When they begged him to let up it
gave him renewed strength and he says
he punched them for nearly three
quarters of an hour before he desisted.
Here's a dollar apiece for you boys,''
he said. the exercise was well worth
it,
Then he went home.
