LIQUOR DEALERS HEAD
TALKS in ORANGE CHURCH.
League Members Are Trying to
Elevate Business, He Says.

Thomas c. Hayes, president of the
Liquor Dealers Protective League,
spoke before the social service class of
the First Unitarian Church. Cleveland
street. nge, yesterday afternoon on
1.-THE Saloon and the Community"
Il. organization, he said, took care
to keep out of 1t dealers who were
deemed unfit. 1t is up to the excise
commissions and license committees to
put these dealers out Of business.
MANY who talk about the liquor
business really are not sincere. We
have an Anti-saloon League, the presi-
dents of which were not natives of this
State. but imported here, mainly from
the West. They generally come from
Illinois. They raise them there. Those
gentlemen, then, come here and tell us
how to run our liquor business.
There are men of course, who ought
moi to be in the business. but because
one makes a mistake should not be
cause for the condemnation Of them ali.
While there are drunkards, there is
not saloon-keeper who wants to
tolerate a d%runllard, for one %drunkard
would cause more harm to your bust
ness THAI forty Prohibitionists around
your place.
1.-THE only way to have the liquor
business carried on is to have 1t prop
erly regulated. If there is any place
that is u detriment to its community.
we will be glad to assist you in clean
ing out such Il place. Most big dealers
are trying to elevate the business. II
seems to me the people who are against
il are merely seeking for lucre. Thes;
gentlemen are rot sincere. They say
the majority should rule. but ! say NJ
majority should rule where the minor
ity is bound to suffer. In an Ohic
prison there is a bankers row. but there
is no liquor dealers row in any prison.
Following the meeting Mr.. Hayes
was asked a number of questions re
iating to the liquor question by diff
ferent men in the audience, including
Camillus G. Kidder. president of the
Orange Board Of Excise Commission
ers, who inquired whether less stringent
laws would tend to better conditions
Mr.. Hayes answered that with les;
stringent laws properly forced he hnc
no doubt conditions would be bettered
Mr.. Aborn, president Of the social
service class, answered II question for
Mr. HAYES when a man in the audience
wanted to know how 1t was that the
city of East Orange with only one
saloon to every 1.500 people did no
complain of a lack of number.
Perhaps said Mr.. Aborp, "Mr
Hayes is not familiar with East Or
ange, where most Of us know prac-
tica1Iy every refrigerator is a private
saloon

GIRL FOUND UNCONSCIOUS
UNABLE TO EXPLAIN PLIGHT.
Police Believe Rose Reilly Was
Robbers Victim.

Although she has regained conscious
ness at the City Hospital. Miss Rose
Reilly. the young woman found uncon-
scious in a doorway at 80 Commerce
street Saturday night, is unable to ex-
plain how she received the severe in
iurics from which she was suffering at
that time.
Physicians at the hospital say Miss
Reilly will recover, although she was
unconscious many hours and had
symptoms of conclusion OF the brain.
When found she was severely cut
around the chin and lips. When she
revived Miss Reilly gave her address
as 46S Ferry street. A Mrs. Frank
Murray lives at his address, and said
today that she knew Miss Reilly, who,
she said, was a ~housekeeper and also
did dressmaking. Mrs. Murray is a
dressmaker and said Miss Reilly had
beer assisting her at her home. Miss
Reilly had left the house Saturday We
ming. she said, to go shopping, and did
not return.
Miss Reilly. according TO those who
know her. is. a young woman of quiet
habits. The police, of the First Pre-
cinct are of the opinion that the girl
was struck down and robbed. The fact
that she had no purse or money when
found adds color to this theory.

WEST ORANGE MAN CAUGHT
AFTER ANNOYING WOMEN.
Thomas Spur Will Be Examined
as to His Sanity.

Arrested after a lively chase by q
detective w Orange patrolmen,
Thomas Spur. IS years old, of q
Watching avenue, West Orange, was
today remanded to the custody Of West
Orange officials for an examination into
his sanity. Spur. the police of Orange
and West Orange say, has been making
life annoying for women in streets of
both places since yesterday. and his
capture today caused both departments
to breathe more easily.
Spur had half a dozen complaints
against him in West Orange. where he
started yesterday and continued this
morning a practise of placing his arm
around women walking along the road
ways. He had some of them badly
scared, n after he got away from
West Orange he continued his prac-
tise in Orange. He had commenced the
trick in Main street neal Park street
this morning and former Councilman
Hugh j. Brady called up headquarters
Patrolmen Gascoyne and McGoldrick
had been notified, and chased the ac-
cused up Main street, with the young
mar yelling.
AT Centre street Detective Johr
Drabeli, who had taken Mr.. Brady's
message owe the telephone, was in
time to see the chase. He grabbed nj
the flying youth, but missed him, and
then cornered him into a store en-
trance, where he nabbed him. Spur
yelled at the top of his voice until
quieted, and was placed in a cell. His
sanity will be examined into.
The man has always borne q good
reputation. He was at n time a hat
ter, but during the strike got a job in
Edison's. His loss of this position
seemed to worry him, and 1t is believed
he brooded over his troubles until he
has temporarily lost his usual good
senses. ..
