WISH HE'D KILLED
CH|LOREN,' CRIES
STARVING MOTHER
Husbands Disappearance Leaves
Woman and Four Babies Des-
flute and PenniIess.

According to the story told to an
EVENING STAR reporter bys his wife
today. Gilbert S. Fowler. an employees
OF the Liberty Hat Company, having
frst collected the insurance on the life
of his little son, who died recently. and
having also drawn from the bank all
the family savings, left the city last
Thursday, leaving his wife and four
small children absolutely ~penniless,
destitute n without food in their
little home at 100 Ferguson street.
Mrs. Fowler appealed to the police
OF the Third precinct yesterday, asking
that efforts be made to locate her hus-
band. The police explained TO her that
they would a action as soon as her
husband had been gone a week. and as
he left home last Thursday, the week
will be up tomorrow and they will then
take up the case.
The circumstances of the case are
most pathetic. The wife, a thorough
ly respectable and sweet-mannered
woman, in tears told the STAR re-
porter today hat she believed her hus-
band had gone away with another
woman.
Il cannot understand it," she said.
4 thought my husband to be the best
man and kindest father in the world
The day he disappeared he kissed me as
usual In the morning and seemed the
same as ever. He did not return at
night, and as | knew that he had in
ended collecting the insurance on the
life of my little boy who died February
II, 1 said to myself that it could hard
ly be possible that he could have been
mean enough TO disappear with that
small amount of money. The INSURANCE,
was about $177.
II started to investigate. and found
also thar he had drawn 5000 from the
savings bank-money that | had saved
by economy from the weekly amounts
he gave me ] also. found that he had
gone to the factory where he worked
and had drawn the money due him. He
had also taken such few articles of
value as were in the house,

AMMONIA FUMES PERIL
STOPPED BY ENGINEER.

By the explosion of a glass gage of
an ammonia tank in the refrigerating
room of the Home Brewing Company,
Orange, Hudson and Hecker streets,
today several lives would have been
lost by suffocation had 1t not been for
the presence of mind of Chief Engineer
Edsall, who was in the room and nearby
when the glass was broken. The twelve
men who were at work were ordered
to leave the place at once. Edsall then
turned off the flow of ammonia and sent
in an alarm.
Battalion Chief Paul f.. Moore
climbed a ladder before his men and
broke several windows to let the deadly
fumes of ammonia out. After an hours
time Edsall replaced the glass and had
his men back to work. Outside of the
broken glass there was no damage.

This arrangement, declared indignant
subscribers, does pot give them the
opportunity of averaging 600 calls a
year, and is really nothing more than
q ''catch-penny" device to get every
cent possible out of tho company's
subscribers.
Elizabethans also point out the in
justice of the rates charged for service
in hat city. There are 5000 instruments
in Elizabeth with limited service at
about the same rate Cincinnati patrons
pay for unlimited service. There are
81, 900 phones in Cincinnati.

COMMISSION IS
NOT FAVORABLE TO
CALDWELL PARK
Projectors Will Ask Legislature
to Provide for
One.

Action towards the establishment Of
still another county park, to be located
on the farther side of Second Mountain,
in the vicinity of Caldwell, West Cald-
Woll and Essex FEELS, was taken when
Il committee, representing the citizens
of those municipalities appeared before
the Essex County Park Commission.
The Park Commission, after hearing the
plans of the committee, explained that
il is the established policy of the COM
mission to take no initiative in<the es-
Enlistment of q park. Past experience
has proved, the commissioners stated,
tina if n municipality wishes a park
bad enough, they can usually succeed in
getting the Legislature to authorize the
project. The Park Commissions funds
are already assigned for specific pur-
poses, and for hat reason. If FOR no
other, it would be impossible for the
commission to proceed with the project.
The committee, which was composed
Of Thomas S. Gladding, chairman;
James r.. Corbiere and Howard g..
Wright. Caldwell; Caleb r.. Crane and
Henry Y. Condict, West Caldwell. ex-
pressed their determination to have a
bill for the purpose drawn NJ, and dele
gated the matter TO Mayor j. II. Harri-
son, of Caldwell. 1t is probable that the
bill will be presented next week in the
Legislature.
The ire of the Park Commission has
been fully aroused by the award of the
condemnation commission setting a
value of $50, 900 on the seven and one

jury
Mrs. Ollemar's land is situated in
Lyons avenue, ana is partly swampy.
For sixteen acres adjoining it, formerly
the property of Phil Jackson, the COM
mission paid $50, 900 about a year and
a half ago. At the time a protestation
meeting was held, presided over by
Mahlon Drake, and Irvington citizens
voiced their horror at the way the
Park Commission appeared TO be
throwing away the peoples money"
The hue and cry finally died down. Mr..
Drake, who is the owner of consider
able desirable property in lrvington,
was appointed on the commission
which made the Ollemar award. The
Park Commission is not very deeply in
love with Mr.. Drake.
A project for connecting Park ave-
nue. directly With the Orange Noun
tain Reservation was offered through
John II. Trent. the engineer of West
Orange. A $751; 600 driveway connecting
Park avenue with the county road to

of Llewellyn Park, touching on Wild

take to maintain the road as part of
their system. No action was taken
by the commission on the proposition.

BOARD TO FIX RULES
FOR SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.

Acting on the recommendation of
Vernon L. DaveY. superintendent of
East Orange public schools, the Board
of Education of that city will shortly
formulate rulesregarding children under
the age of seventeen years, who do not
attend school. Mr.. Davey learned today
that one girl had been away from school
because she gave her address at a house
where there is a contagious disease, but
1t was larned the girl lived on the other
side of the street.
Pupils under the age of seventeen
must attend school. but when they are
over fourteen years and their parents
