he was removed by the late Archbishop
Corrigan, then bishop of the Newark
diocese, he was always held In high

surance which will be a material help

according to the rector's statement In
January last, was 1925, 900. The insur-
ance fund was higher at one time. APP
proximating 500, 900, but the burden of
premiums was too high and the amount
was reduced several times. The pre-
miums had been paid by the parish of
late years. The original insurance was
taken out when Father Hickey. in 1867,
be the erection Of st. Johns hurch.
Father Hickey went to the Wheeling
diocese after leaving st. Johns Church
and was in charge of the parish at
Parkersburg a third of a century. His
father, the late John Hickey. who died
ten years ago., aged 90, lived with him
there and at Orange.
HE was a mar of fine personality
and a very loyable character" said
Father Matthias J.. Mcdonald. pastor
Of st. Johns. In discussing today the
venerable clergyman's death. Even
to the present day many of the older
parishioners of st. Johns speak OF
Father Hickey with great kindness and
admiration"
The usual masses for a departed
priest that are celebrated In every
church where In life he OBLIGATED will
be offered in st. Johns next week.
Formal announcement will be made at
the masses on Sunday of the priests
death. Father Mcdonald declined to
discuss the insurance subject and
stated the information would be forth

WINS
FIGHT TO RETAIN
S. 0. CLERKSH|P
Village Board of Trustees Acc
ton Legal, Rules Judge Adams,
in Supreme Court.

Michael A. Fitzsfmmons, clerk OF the
Village of South Orange. won out IN
the Supreme Court circuit today in his
fight to retain his job, when Judge
Adams decided that he was entitled 10
1t against the claim of Robert s.
Dalenz.
Fitzsimmons has held the office con-
t%inuously from May 6. 1901. and never
had charges preferred against him. A
meeting Of the trustees, held April IS
last, was adjourned to May 8, and q
special meeting was held April %. when
Edward N. Loomis was elected trustee
to fill the car caused by the death
of Trustee Henry B. Halsey. On May
3 the civil service law was passed and
Dalenz was appointed to the position
by the Peoples party faction of the
village board at It's June meeting.
At this meeting the office OF Fitz-
simmons, together with those Of several
other Citizens men. was declared .
cant, to take effect July l.
Fitzsimmons, however, refused to
cate on the ground that he was pro-
tected by the civil service law, which
went into operation in the village on
Tune %. Dalenz's contention was thar
the old board of trustees went out OF
office on May s and therefore had not
the power of placing the village m
rloyees under the civil service law.
THE action of the board" said Judge
Adams. was properly taken by reso-
luton IL the term of the outgoing board
expired at midnight on May 2. but
there was not a quorum present. and
consequently the action of the board
was not de jure. The meeting was q
de facto meeting. The finding OF the
court Is in favor of Fitzsimmons and
against the relator. Dalenz. h latter
has only a de facto title at best since
he has not taken the oath required OF
him before a justice"
As a result Of the decision, not only
will Fitssimmons be retained but Frank
Fenner and Andrew I. Mcdonald,
treasurer and tax and water clerk,
respectively, will hold their Jobs. which
were also declared vacant on June 3D.
These two men also refused to give up
their places and continued in Office.
At the time the offices were declared
vacant It was decided by the board Of
trustees to have Joseph Arnold. the
present tax collector and assessor, be-
come treasurer and ASSESSOR, and havo
Dalenz act as village clerk n over
seer Of the poor. the offices held by
Fitzsimmone. and also collector OF
taxes. McDonald's Job was abolished.
1t has been agreed, 1t In said, however,
by the trustees to retain all of tbs
employees in their old offices.
1t is understood that had the de-
cision favored Dalenz. Fftzsimmoni
would rave continued In Office. Trustees
John F. McDonough and William II.
Tweddell having stated that they had
decided to vote with the Citizens truss
tees in resembling the action already
taken by the board in dismissing Fitz-
simmons.
McDonald's job, although declared
vacant, was not reported to the Civil
Service Commission as such, and for
that reason he, too, will receive his
back pay.
Fitzsimmons was represented In his
fight by former Village President Al
bert c.. Wall.
