MOTHER TWICE
TRIES TO K|ONAP
OWN DAUGHTER
Had Placed Child in Charge of
MOntclair WOman-BOth
Attempts Blocked.

After two alleged attempts to kid
nap her 2-year-old daughter Irene from
the home of Mrs. Charles Pennewell,
% Spring street, Montclair, Lena John
son has finally placed her case in the
hands of William w. Crane, a lawyer
of Montclair. The Johnson woman ar
rived in Montclair from New Haven,
Conn, about two years and a half
ago. She made the acquaintance Of
Mrs. Pennewell, who keeps an intelli-
gence office. Shortly after the John
son woman arrived in Montclair she
took her 2-months-old baby to Mrs.
Pennewell and placed it with her TO
board, promising to pay $40 a month.
The woman is said to have failed to
make the payments for the child's
board. and there is now claimed to be
a balance of $3.50 due Mrs. Pennewell.
Last Thursday the Johnson woman,
who is now living in New York, Is
said TO nave suggested to Mrs. Penne-
well that she. give her the child out
right, and 1t was while Mrs. Penne-
we'll was consulting a lawyer for that
purpose that it is alleged the other
woman made her first attempt at kid
mapping.
Mrs. Pennewell's husband, however,
was in the house and succeeded in
snatching the child away from the
mother. The second alleged attempt
was made while Mrs. Pennewell was at
church Sunday evening. when the John
son woman and a friend made q dash
up the stairs of the Pennewell home,
1t Is said, and the mother grabbed the
little girl and ran to the stairway. Mrs.
Pennewel1 mel the women and child on
the stairway and blocked their passage
until Mr.. Pennewell came to her assist
ance. TIL mother then refused to leave
the house without the baby. and Mrs.
Pennewell telephoned for the police,
who removed the woman from the
house.
Lawyer Crane has made a demand
Mrs. Pennewell to give the child to
it's mother. She has consulted Justice
of the Peace Arthur Darlington, Of II
Cross street, Montclair, and he has in
structed Mrs. Pennewell to hold the
child until she collects the full amount
of the board bill.
Mrs. Penneweli had the child bap-
tised last January. giving 1t the name
of Irene Helen. the latter name being
that Of Mrs. Pennewell's little Swear
old girl. who died a short time ago.
The Johnson woman is % years old,
and Is said to be a good cook, earning
as much as $50 a month and her board.

Common Council Adopts Res0lu.
tion to Ask Legislature to
Pass Necessary Law.
BIPARTISAN BODY TO
BE NAMED BY MAYOR
Only One Objection. and that
Made on Score of Poll.
tics by Fineran. i

The Orange Common Council last
night adopted a resolution to ask sup
port to the mex Legislature to appoint
a commission to control the proposed
municipal lighting plant. The single
opponent of the measure, Councilman
John c. Fineran, heartily approved the
idea, but objected to a bipartisan som
mission of four men, favoring instead
one of three men.
The resolution was offered by Coun-
Gilman Frank j. Murray. II the munich
pal lighting plan is adopted at the
special election on May 4 the Legisla-
ture will be asked to provide for a COM
mission of -four men to be named by
the mayor.
1T is time this matter was taken
from the politicians, who have used it
as a football" said Councilman Berry
man Mr.. Fineran hoped the Council
would not hold up the commissioners.
as they had when the police and fire
bodies were named. When the vote
on the resolution was taken Mr.. Fin
eran rose to say he would vote in the
negative because the bipartisan idea,
he claimed, would not take the subject
out VI poiltics.
Figures submitted by City Engineer
Fred 7. Crane. based on estimates by
the Common Council two years ago., and
the contamination of which was pre-
vented by adverse action In the courts
against completing the plant as ar
ranged for at hat time, were TO the
effect that the city. which has spent
s23. 900 on the plant. can finish the work
for from $64, 900 to $40. 900. 1t was said
that $50 lamps for the city could be
furnished for $64.50, sos and $57.75 each,
according to, the figure for original cost.
The city now pays the Public Service
Corporation $s5 per lamp, annually.
Figuring on needed additions to give
$50 lamps per year Mr.. Crane estimated
the cost per lamp would be s54. so. s49.5 80
and $40. respectively, according to the
original cost. and he stated that COM
pairing the approximate cost of lamps
furnished the municipal plant would
save the city from T,2s5 per "a to
SO. $50. and the saving per year on $50
lamps would be from $4,000 to st6,145.

THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA.
Interesting Facts Abort Chin and the
Mighty Rampant He Built To
lnclose Empire.

To superstitious notions Chin added
blaze of oriental magnificenee He
built a wonderful palace, which has
been described in the Imperial History
as having certain go 'geous annexes
attached at intervals, the whole eX-
tending over distance of 100 miles.
In consequence of his life of luxury,
perhaps, he became more and more
prey to superstition, and it may be
that because of this he completed the
Great Wall. At any rate, history re-
cords that he was informed by pro-
phecy that in time he would be over
whelmed and destroyed by outside
enemies So he modified an army Of
800, 900 men to work on the Great
Wall, and if necessary to fight in his
behalf Chin's design evidently was
to inclose his massive empire in a
rampant which should have the shape
of horseshoe with the heel calks at
the ocean shore. He did not plan to
parallel the coast with a wall doubt
less considering that seaside an ample
protection to a country vast and dense
ly populated.
The wall is not for modern use; it
is an ancient fossil, the largest fossil
on the earth. But fossils are useful
and truthful. 1t is a dividing line be-
tween two civilizations and between
two eras. In space it cut off the herds
