SALARIES HELD UP
BY DEADLOCK IN
VILLAGE BOARD
South Orange Firemen and Po-
licemen Haven't Had Their
February Pay Yet.

AS a result of the deadlock between
the Citizens and Peoples party repre-
sentatives on the South Grange Village
Board of Trustees on the passage of a
tax ordinance and because Charles II.
Burke. chairman of the finance COM
niittee, refuses to sign salary war
rants, the firenien and police of that
place are still without their monthly
salary for February
Mr.. Burke stands firm and says he
absolutely will not sign any warrants
until a tax ordinance is passed. He
declares that he is doing this OH the
advice of Village Counsel Judge Thomas
A. Davis.
Trustee Burke presented a budget
calling for SAC 0 two months ago at a
meeting of the Village Board. but it
was voted down by the three members
of the Peoples party. who had the
power because of the absence of Trus-
tee Thomas G. Conway, of the Citizens
faction.
At the last meeting two weeks ago
the Peoples party men introduced an
ordinance calling for but $43. 900. and
when Henry B. Halsey. of that party,
was absent the Citizens voted in the
negative. causing a tie up.
The deadlock may hold out for
months; or until either Trustee Con-
way returns from Europe or until Trus-
tee Halsey arrives from Panama.

MIDNIGHT RIOT IN
ORANGE VALLEY DISTRICT
Some Take Refuge in Shop

mans Home a Haven.

Three %non-union hatters, accompanied
by Private detectives, who were on their
way to the Berg hat factory, in Orange
Valley. this morning, had narrow
escapes from meeting serious bodily in
jury.
The trio, with the sleuths, went to Or
ange Valley on the South Orange and
Maplewood line, and when they disem-
barked they were at once surrounded
by a large crowd of sympathizers, who
made every effort to take them from
the detectives.
Matters were about to take a serious
turn when some of the striking matters
appeared on the scene and pleaded with
the crowd to allow the men to 60 their
way. The p~leadlngs were effective, and
the non-union men, together with the
detectives, went to the shop without
being further molested.
Just previous to this incident three
strike breakers were taken to the Berg
factory in a large automobile. They
managed to get into the yard Of the
company before the pickets had fully
realized what had happened.
A group of men. taking the places OF
union matters in Berg's shop in Orange
valley, went to New York yesterday to
spend Sunday, n returned to the val
ley about midnight. They were met by
a crowd and in a few minutes stones
began to fly at a lively rate. The non-
union men started in a run towards the
shop, but eight took a different
course. The rocks flew until all disap-
peared in the darkness. There were no
arrests, but plenty of excitement while
the chase was o.
On Saturday afternoon one Of the men
who had been employed in the Berg
shop left the factory and started up the
tracks of the swamp line" trolley, In
tending to go home. A crowd of boys
saw him and gave cha Sc. The man ran
at full speed up the tracks and darted
into the home Of Roundsman Thomas
3. Guirk, who lives at 3 Quimby place,
West Orange, and fell exhausted in a
chair ana begged to be saved. He had
been chased seven blocks by the boys.

POST0FF|CE IN
EAST ORANGE IS
UNDER THE PROBE
Government Inspectors Stir
Things Up-Sent Marked
Money Through Mail.

Inspectors from the p~ostoffice depart
ment in Washington were in East Or
ange last week and arc expected again
this week, but Postmaster Marcus
Mitchell would say nothing of their
purpose today, further than that they
were investigating something he could
not talk about. 1t is said there were
three inspectors in the city during tiN
early part of the week and that they
made things lively.
1t is understood the inspectors placed
a properly addressed envelope in one of
the boxes with some silver money in L
and awaited results. The envelope was
taken up by a carrier, but the money
was not found till later. 1t was then
near a stamping machine in the post
Office. 1t is believed that the twenty
flve-cent piece dropped out in some
manner while the letter was being
STAMPED. e..
1t is said further that the inspectors
went on a long and careful search for
the twenty-fve-cent piece. They Wis
tied several places, it is said, and made
the proprietors empty their tills in an
effort to locate the marked money, but
they did not find 1t till it turned up near
the machine in the postotfice~
One carrier has been suspended, but 1t
was not on account of the money. An
other charge has been made against
him and he was laid off while the case
is being considered in Washington. 1t
is not believed to be a serious charge.

New Tender Reports for Duty,
but Predecessor Refuses

james *. Provett, the Belleville man
who was appointed to the position of
bridge-tender on the Belleville bridge
over the Passaic river and who was to
begin work today, reported at the
bridge or time, and encountered un-
expected opposition. William Pudney,
who has held the job for two years, re-
not been notified to do so. Provett said
nothing, and walked away.
Provett was appointed at a joint
meeting of the freeholders of Hudson,
Bergen and Essex counties a month
ago. The Hudson men. however, left
the meeting before the appointment was
made. They said they had been in
structed not to vote on it. The Essex
and Bergen men We're unanimous in
their choice for Provett, and he was
named.
Provett said today that he has peer
told that he will get at least three
quarters of his remuneration dating
from today. Essex pays cne-half of the
salary and Bergen and Hudson one
quarter each. 1t is thought that Hud-
son county may not pay it's share. The
position pay 81. 900 a year.
Pudney has held the position for tive
years, n declares that he is protected
by the civil service. He Is a Demo-
Graf, and was appointed when his party
was in power. two years ago.
Should Pudney insist on holding the
position. it is likely that proceedings
will be started to Gust him.

Watchmen on Pennsylvania
Bridge in kearny Quarreled
and Grimshaw Interfered.

A new phase has developed in the
shooting of Pershing Grimshaw, 80
years old, OF is Bridge street, Newark.
which took place on the Kearny side of
The new Pennsylvania bridge over the
H~ackensack river late Saturday. The
statement is made by the authorities OF
the Newark CITY Hospital that a bullet
of .3S-calibre was extracted from the
abdomen of Grimshaw at that ~institu-
.tion yesterday.
This declaration practically clears. the
cloud of suspicion from Frederick
Eoerty. the 19-year-old Harrison youth,
who was at first thought to hav shot
Grjnlshaw, n whom Grimshaw is said
to have identified as the man who fired
the shot.
Roerty, who is employed as a watch
ma oil the bridge. was the owner of a
80, not a .SS-calibre revolver.
Axel Johnson, who is also d watch
ma ON the bridge, was engaged in a
fglt with Roerty when Grimshaw in
terfared and was shot.
Johnson told the police that after
Cirimsllaw had ueer shot he (Johnson)
took H1erty's gun and fired four shots
tut of it and gave back the u to
Roerty. The latter claims that John
son fired five times, and. in this state
ment, Is borne out by Charles Capello,
another watchman who was present.
Prosecutors Detective William Char
lock, of Jersey City. visited the Kearny
Town Hall yesterday and spent sew
eral hours cioseted with Roerty, john
son and Capel1o. There was nothing
made public of what resulted from the
conference.
Grimshaw's condition was reported
as much improved today.
Roerty, who resided at z Franklin
avenue, Harrison. has two sisters liv-
ing at that address. They were seen
today by an EVENING STAR reporter
and are heartbr oxen YER the affair.
They were both confident that their
brother was innocent of n wrong
doing. E1e has been at the bridge only
since Friday, February IS.

yesterday, but on account OF the I'M
