last night at a local cafe win never be
given. When Jeffries returned to his
training camp after the fight he re-
quested Berger to telephone to the cafe

the dinner. A few OF the friends. moved
by hunger alone, sat at the table and
consumed h meat thai had been pre-
pared. There was no wine and little
conversation.

by Patrolman John Manion of having

THE deeision Is absolutely unjust.

Steve today. II admitted that l

South Orange Hotel, at Valley street

o'clock on the morning in question.
That was not the first time, either, for
I and other members of the force have
gotten many people into the hotel for
lodging at late hours OF many occa-
sions."

the two women and as many men

MAYOR MAY CLASH
WITH C0UNC|LMEN
ON APPOINTMENTS
M0ntclair Officials Do Not Like
Idea of Executive Having
Advisory Board.

According to reports in Montclair OF
fcialdom, Mayor elect Ernest c.. Hinck
will be very busy when he assumes
Office on January l. He has, it Is al
legged, refused to have a conference
with the members of the council-elect,
to decide on the town officers to be
appointed, n also the chairmen OF
committees. He takes the stand that
he was elected to do things and he is
going to do them, and do them in his
own way,
The holdover members of the Council
and those that were reelected had a
conference recently, and it is said they
have decided that the town has been
well governed and that they will fight
any radical changes in the town off,
Gals or chairmen of committees They
are in h majority. and, 1T is said, that
if Mr.. Hinck does not consult them in
the matter of appointments his slate
will be smashed, and they will appoint
their own nominees.
The mayor has no more authority
than a councilman. He is the presia-
ing officer of the Council. but has not
the power of veto. Mayor Henry ".
Crawford, who will retire from Office
at the beginning of the year, n his
predecessor, the late Mayor David ID.
Duncan, as a matter of courtesy NOM
mated all town officers and named the
during their term of Of
flee, and they were confirmed by n
Council, but conferences were always
held beforehand.
Mr.. Hinck has talked to members of
the Council individually and told them
Of changes he intended to make. One
member advised the mayor-elect to
lave a conference with the members of
the Council before he made any rash
move. 1t is said that Mr.. Hinck re-
Piled that he did not have to have a
conference, that he was going to be
mayor.
Another matter that the members of
the Council talked over at its recent
conference was the advisory board
which Mayor-elect Hinck is about to
appoint. 1t is said that the members
on the appointment of such a
board as nonsensical; that to take adj
vice from 1t would reflect on their
ability to carry on the business OF the
town. Their decision was that they
we're elected by the citizens TO carry
on the government of the town and
they intend to do SO without the
Interference or advice of anybody.

COUNCIL INSPECTS
STREET PROPOSED
TO Be VACATED
Bloomfield Officials Look Over
Plot Which Will Be Affected
by Railroad improvements.

Mavor william p. S%utphen, together
with councilmen Walker, Chabot n
I~ynangst and a number of citizens OIL
bloomfield interested in the work OF
,mproving the Laekawanna railroad IN
that town. visited Mechanic street.
which 1t is proposed to vacate, Satur-
dsv afternoon. and looked over the
ground carefully.
The citizens of that section are op-
posed to the ~vacating of
street in the interests of the raliroau
improvements, as we'll as TO the pay
ment of $4,000 toward the properly
damage of the Hedden Architectural
Iron Works. 1t is not necessary TO
vacate the thoroughfare which no"
runs from Washington street to Glen
wood avenue, they declare, anu
switches to the Hedden Works as Wen
as to the plant of the American MAI
leables Company can be run overheau'
Neither of the plants is now IN opera
ton, although it is reported thae d
big manufacturing concern is ABOUT
to lease the Malleable plant and otner
firms are anxious to get hold OF the
Hedden site. One of the firms is SAID
to be willing to pay $500 and the
Lackawanna railroad 81, 900 toward tne
property damage and the town Is
asked by some to pay 50, 500 also, max
inga total of s12, 500.
The original price asked by Hedoen
was l 5000. If such a deal should go
through the present Hedden site would
be abandoned and he firms willing TO
pay $500 would then be given a site
adjoining and with a frontage in
Washington street. The proposed
abandonment of Mechanic street alto
gether has aroused a storm of pro-
tests. and if the council does not a k
heed the matter may be taken into
court.
The building of concrete ridges at
Glenwood avenue and at Washington
street, with sidewalks through tun-
nels, is also the cause of much COM
ment. 1t is claimed these places will
be dangerous as well as a nuisance.
Many citizens declare the the work
of building them should proceed no
further and that what has been done
already should be torn out and an
span bridge substituted at both
thoroughfares. A petition for the open
and improving of Mechanic street
will be presented to the council at to-
morrow nights meeting.
