sQUAL|D HOME IS
A STORM CENTRE
IN WEST ORANGE
Husband Violent, Children Neg.
lected, Wife Driven Out
and Baby Dead.

Aroused shortly before midnight or
Saturday in the heavy rainstorm by
the violent ringing of his doorbell, John
officer, hurried to the door and found
Mrs. James Writ, of 2S5 Watching
avenue, West Orange, wringing wet,
and much Wcited. She urged Mr.. Gas
coyne to Cd to her home. where her
husband, she declared, was acting like
8 crazy man.
Mr.. Gascoyne notified the West Or
ange police to send men to the Writ
nome and he Joined the woman. He
found Policemen Mcdonald n De-
Hart at the house, they having been
summoned by a son. AS the police In
Orange had on one occasion to beat
the man into submission, 1t was de-
cided to reconnoitre so as to get their
prisoner without unnecessarily disturb
ing a group of a h~alf-dozen little chill
dren.
The men found the Writ home in
squalid condition, -four children on a
bare mattress on the floor n others
huddled about, and they at once made
up their minds to give the house some
attention later. They found Writ in
bed with his clothes on and %feigning
sleep. They had a tussle to get the
husband to go along, while Mr.. Cas-
coyne pacihed the children. but finally
got him out. He was then locked up
and yesterday morning Mr.. Gascoyne
took his man to the county jail to
await a hearing before Judge Davis
next Monday or a charge of breaking
his parole. He had formerly assaulted
his son, but had been released on pro-
baton on his promise to be good.
A 15-days'-old babe died in the Writ
house yesterday afternoon, and Deputy
County Physician Nj. Herbert Simmons
made an investigation. 1t developed
that the child died of natural causes.
1t was boarded at the Writ home by a
young mother, who, with her own
mother, called there on Saturday.
Promising to call later to look after
the infant. they paid for its care. The
child was born In the Newark City
Hospital, but no names were vouch-
safed by the women who "farmed' the
little one out. The authorities decided
Writt's outbreak was not responsible
for the little ones death, as the child,
Mrs. Writ declared, had been nearly
dead when brought in.

KEARNY-ARLINGTON.
DEMOCRATS OUT FOR
VOTES OF OLD SOLDIERS.

The Democrats of the First ward,
Kearny, are leaving nothing undone In
an effort to corral every vote possible
in the ward. The Jeffersonian ad-
herents are making a great play among
the inmates of the Soldiers Home,
where a large majority of the total
vote of the ward lies. The veterans in
the past have been voting the Repub-
lican ticket, and the Democrats are
making a herculean effort to break
down the G. o. P. barrier. To attain
this end they have arranged to feast
the soldiers at a smoker to be held at
Evans's Hall, Kearny, next Saturday

CricketerS Change Methods
of Compiling Averages

The California cricket association
held a special. meeting last night and
adopted a resolution in regard to the
compiling of the official batting and
bowling averages. In the past the asso-
citation only complied averages on the
first inning OF a game if the second in
ming had no bearing on the ultimate re-
suit Of the game. This mode was en-
tlrely at variance with the methods
adopted by all cricketing bodies in
other parts of this country and in for
eign countries.
The meeting unanimously decided to
adhere TO the correct method of compil-
