EAST ORANGE
CORNELL MAN
ELECTROCUTEO
Live Wire Causes Death of
Parkman Leavitt in
Ithaca, N. Y.
WAS OUT WALKING WITH
FRIEND AT THE TIME
Parents Hurry to College Town
When News of Tragedy
Comes.

Parkman Leavitt, of East Orange, a
student in the College of Mechanical
Engineering at Cornell University, Ith-
AGA, N. Y, was electrocuted last night
in the street in Ithaca by an electric
wire.
Leavitt was Is years old, n with
his brother, formerly attended the
Eastern School in East Orange. Park
man Leavitt was the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. George O.. Leavitt. of 10 Haw-
thorne avenue.
Members Of the Leavitt family had
gone to Ithaca early today, the house
being closed.
News of the tragedy received in East
Orange said that Leavitt, who gradu-
ated from the Newark Academy, was
out walking with Walter S. OFT, of
Milwaukee. on his way to his room at
the Zeta Psi fraternity house.
OFT says he happened to look behind
him, in Oak avenue, and saw Leavitt
lying in the gutter. He ran to him
and found him unconscious. Leavitt
was hurried to his room in the fraternity
house and physicians were summoned.
Their work was without avail and he
died in a few minutes.
1t is supposed that Leavitt seized a
guy wire which had crossed an electric
wire. He was tall and could easily
have touched one of the wires if he
jumped, as they were not more than
eight feet from the ground. Whether
he did this OF struck it with a stick is
not known.
An investigation which will be made
today may throw more light on the
case.
Leavitt entered college last fall. He
was a member of one of the leading
fraternities al Cornell. the Zeta Psi,
and was much liked. The Zeta Psi had
sent out invitations for a large house
party for the Junior week festivities,
which will begin Tuesday. They have
all been Cancelled.

FORTS TAXATION
PLAN INTERESTS
EAST ORANGE
School Board to Discuss Cow
errors Proposal at Meet
ing Tonight.

The school officials of East Orange
are interested in the plan of Governor
Fort to divert some of the school funds.
If this is done the city's share of the
railroad tax will be greatly lessened.
AT a meeting tonight of the Board of
Education it IS probable there will be a
discussion On the subject.
East Orange last paid from the
county tax to the State fund $113, 900,
from which it got back $50, 900. The
city pays, according to it's assessed val
uations, which are high, and receives
back an amount according to attend
ance figures. The average attendance
of pupils is -S5 per cent. With a reduc-
ton made in the money received from
the railroad tax East Orange would
receive hardly any money from the
State, and is placed in a unique position.
Taxes. it is believed, would be in
creased.
State Superintendent Baxter has sent
a letter to the various school superin-
tendents stating that the State Board
is rather inclined to favor Governor
Forts plan.

Entertainment at RentchIer's
Hall Is the Cause of All
the Trouble.

A merry war is on between three
well-known Harrison organizations
which is growing more bitter every
day and which has already developed
TO such an extent that Chief of Po-
lice Rodgers n a private detective
agency have been asked to taxi a hand.
The quarrel is between the Peter
Hauck & Co.'s Employees Benevolent
Association and the Harrison Lieder-
kranz on the one hand and the West
Hudson Labor Lyceum on the other.
The Hauck association and the Lieder-
kranz have engaged Reutschler's Hall,
Harrison, for a joint reception and ball
on February 8.
The West Hudson Labor Lyceum, a
Socialist organization, has arranged to
AVE a reception in the same hall Feb
ruary 16. Last Monday night the
joint committee of the Hauck associa-
ton and the Liederkranz met and or
dered the tickets and hangers for the
affair from a Newark printing house,
the goods to be delivered Thursday
night, which was done. To the sur
prise of the committee they found that

They Immediately called up the prin-
ter and when they told him that he had
put the wrong date on their printing, he
Informed them that early Tuesday
morning he was 'phoned ostensibly by
a member of the committee and told to
make the date February 16.
The members of the Hauck Associa-
ton and Liederkranz were furious
when they found this out, and a meet
ing was called at which the Socialists
were openly accused of the trick and
severely denounced. 1t was resolved to
get a detective in an effort to find the
identity of the person who had tele-
phoned the printer to change the date.
John Ambos, chairman of the joint COM
mittee called up police headquarters in
Newark to get the services of Detective
Fred Kuhn.
Pastors were ordered to be placed
over the false date on the hangers and
tickets and some of them were dis
tributed.
