TWO COUNC|LMEN
OUSTED PASSA|C
RETAINS THIRD
Men Dismissed as Grafters After
Investigation Will Resort
to CertiOrari.

PASSAIC, Dec. 20.-Acting upon the
recommendation Of it's subcommittee,
which returned a report sustain
ing the charges of grating made
against Councilmen Thomas J.. Walsh.
Christopher ]. Lane and. Norman d.
Darmstatter, the PassaieC Common Coun-
Gil has voted to dismiss from it's mem
bership the latter two of the accused
trio. Dismissal of Councilman Walsh
was blocked by John Labash. a mem
Der of the investigating committee,
who submitted a minority report and
against Walsh were not conclusively
proven.
Counsel for the accused men appeared
before the city board last night and pro-
tested against the removal of the ac-
cused men, asserting that they should
be allowed five days in which to answer
the charges made against them. Coun-
sci for the investigating committee as
serted hat the accused men waived
this right when they appeared before
the committee last week and testified.
VIII Resort TO Certiorari.
After the vote of dismissal was
passed against the two Councilmen 1t
was %nnounced that they would resort
to certiorari proceedings to have the
case reviewed. Councilman Lane, re-
moved by action of the Council tonight,
will be out Of office only n short time
in any event. as he was reelected for
a new term last November and will re-
sumo office again January 1.
The graft charges grew out of an at
tempt by Charles Krautheimer and
Morris Wilensky to have transferred a
license they owned at 151 Eighth street
to Samuel Schooner, at 80 Fourth street.
AT a meeting of the City Council two
weeks ago Krautheimer appeared and
made a statement in which he alleged
that he had given Councilman Thomas
J.. Walsh a diamond ring to secure his
aid some months ago in preventing
the transfer of another saloon to a
building near his in Eighth street.
1t was also alleged that Councilman
Lane had received S25 from Louis Lie
herman for his influence in connection
with another transfer of the Kraut-
heimer license. An investigation was
ordered by unanimous vote of the
Council and Myron B. Matthews.
Arthur P. jackson and John j. Labash
were named as the investigating COM
mittee. John Scott Dawson was en-
gagged as special counsel by the COM
mittee. and the hearing began last
Thursday night and continued with
afternoon and evening sessions until
Saturday night, when the evidence was
completed.

FAILURE
To ELECT HEAD
OF CITY COUNCIL
Two Ballots Taken by East Or
ange SOIons in Attempt TO
Break Deadlock.

After taking two ballots showing a
tie between Councilmen Horace A.
Bonnell and J. Lenord Merrill for
chairman of the incoming City Council
in East Orange. the members found
the possibility of breaking the dead
lock, which has existed during three
conferences, is almost hopeless.
Following the hearing on the trolley
application the councilmen met in the
office Of Mayor William Cardwell and
started to discuss the selection of a
chairman. Then a ballot was taken
showing five votes for each candidate.
The second ballot showed the same re-
suit.
Two petitions against the selection OF
Lincoln E. Rowley for another term
as city clerk were presented from The
Fourth ward by Councilman Grover
and Saxelby on behalf of their con-
~stituents. There were not more than
twenty-six anne on a petition. it is
said, and the two were handed back
after being looked over.
One member in favor of Mr.. Rowley
said if his colleagues were DESTROYS Of
using petitions in finally deciding en-
Mr.. Rowley he was willing to start one
for the clerk and in three hours would
secure as many names for him as the
opponents. Whether the petitions given
back will be circulated again for names
Is not known. A straw vote is said 10
have shown there are three or tour
against the naming of Mr.. Rowley at
present.
Mayor-elect Julian A. Gregory, ii
was announced, desires TO meet tile
councilmen in conference again. and
it was decided to grant him a further
hearing on the various subjects he de-
sires to bring up at a caucus to be
held following the regular meeting next
Tuesday night. A suggestion was also
made that a special committee be al-
pointed TO appoint subcommittee tor
the year until the Craftsmanship SQUAD
BILE Is settled. No action on the sugge
ton was taken.
1t is said MIR Gregory has in mind
b~ringing before the Council his re-
quest to Police commissioners Sharp
and Fallon to resign because OF the
recent row in the commission, which
started over the passing Of q resolu-
ton naming five chancemen as patrol
men before civil service takes effect
on Saturday next. Mayor Cardweil has
not signed the resolution as yet. He
has ten days to veto or sign it.

MEETS OPPOSITION
Property Owners and Residents
Protest Against Move Before
East Orange Council.

Their was much opposition at the
hearing given by the East Orange
Council last night on the application
of the Public Service Railway Com
pany to connect the Crosstown ana
Montclair trolley lines by running a
single track along North Park street.
Citizens spoke against the project and
a petition signed by forty-seven prop
erty-owners was presented. After con-
siderable discussion the matter was
laid over until January 16. Many OF
the Council favor the connection.
Contending that the street was not
of sufficient width to permit laying OF
trolley tracks, William H. Potter, or
175 North Park street, appeared before
the Council and stated his reasons for
objecting against the line, principally
on the ground that the street hould be
widened by at least ten feet, and he
urged that the Council reject the ap-
plication of the corporation on these
grounds. William H. Miller. of rs
Lindsey place, supported Mr.. Potter in
his stand. >

property of the street, whose
properties cover over 1908 feet OF
ground, protesting against the line. APP
pearing as representative of the Local
Interest Improvement Club, of East Or
ange, Charles Stillwell vigorously OPP
posed the acceptance of the petition
on the ground that its signers consisted
of residents who considered themselves
only.
Considerable discussion of the matter
arose. but the Council finally decided to
accept the petition and placed 1t on file.
Property owners favoring the line
were then given an opportunity to
present their reasons for favoring the
matter, and Zach speaker talked at
length. They told of the inconvenience
thew are put to on account of their
inability to reach trolley lines. Many
of the speakers also declared that their
children attending school at distant
noints would profit greatly by having
the line run its intersections between
Montclair and Glen Ridge.
Mavor Crawford, of Montclair, also
attended the hearing, and stated that
he has been deeply interested the
matter and said that he thought the
plan, -fes a good one.

Coming back, she was astounded to

New York state has lately come into
possession Of wild game farm near
the village of Sherburne, In the Che
mango valley, the English pheasant be-
Ing the variety at present raised. The
preserve contains 800 acres, Ave of
which have been in use the past sea-
son, inclosed with poultry netting nine
feet high, with additional fne mesh
netting at the bottom and extending
seven inches into the ground as pro-
lection against mlnks, rats, skunks,
etc. For the first six or seven weeks
the little birds are kept in yards 10 by
30 feet. One wing is then clipped,
and they are allowed to roam In the
larger tract. The hen pheasant lays
about thirty eggs in her wild state and
sixty In confinement The eggs re-
quire twenty Weight days incubation,
and the Job is turned over to docile
old Biddies, who cover a clutch Of
from twenty to thirty eggs. Par
tridges Of the American type are to be
raised next year In addition to the
pheasants. The manager Of the farm
says the pheasant is more easily raised
than the common domestic fowl and
requires little care after II is three
weeks old. Pheasants are insectivo-
rous birds, almost entirely subslsting on
bugs, worms, ants and other insects,
and being especially fond Of the potato
beetle. II costs but so cents year
to keep pair Of them, while mature
