porary bed in an open lot and calmly
proceeded to go to sleep.
Policeman Frank A15erts located the
strange sleeper while going on his
rounds, and as she was perfectly sober
and gave an explanation of her expert
enee, he took her to police h~eadquar-
tiers. There she slept until 6 o'clock in
the morning, and Patrolman w. J. Cur
tin started out to locate her employer.
She did not know names of the streets

FIRE-ESCAPES ON
TOWN HALL ARE
SAFE, BOARD SAYS
NutIey School Officials Deny
Charges Made by Council
man Callahan.

Indignation was expressed by the
members of the Nutley Board of Edu-
cation at the meeting last night over
the reports published that the Town
Hall fre-escapes were a death-trap.
Denials that the escapes were ever any
thing but safe were made and it was
decided to confer with the Town Coun-
Gil about the charges made by ouncil
man M. ]. Callahan, which caused the
discussion.
II. w. st. John brought the matter
up by asking what truth there was In
Callahan's charges that the escapes
were a death-trap and that the weight
of ten people would have pulled them
down. He said many people were still
afraid to go into the building. Arthur
Stager, who inspected the work., said
there was no truth in the charge and
other members doubted if the charge
had ever been made.
The bill for $110 which the Council
spent putting new bolts in the escapes
and making other repairs was not re-
ceived by the district clerk. 1t has
been expected, because the Town Coun-
Gil resolved to send it to the board at
its last meeting. The board was the
owner of the building When the escape
was being built and guaranteed to fin
ish the work when the town took over
the building. No further action was
taken.
A lecture on the Panama canal by
A. w. Wyndham was announced for
January IS by the lecture committee.
Trustee Matthew J. Satler reported the
receipt OF an offer for the old building
on the Washington School property
which the board wants to sell. The fig
ure was thought to be too low. The
~esignatio of Miss Margaret Prosser
from the teaching staff was read.

TO GIVE MINSTREL SHOW
FOR BENEFIT OF CHURCH.
Fund for Spires on Edifice Will
Be Enriched.

Not one reserved seat is available
for the minstrel show to be given to-
night at Parish Hall, Harrison, under
the auspices of the Guard of Honor
connected with the Church of the Holy
Cross, Harrison, and it is likely that
the affair will have to be repeated in
order to accommodate the overflow
crowd.
Nothing has been left undone in an
endeavor to insure success. Miss Mae
Kenworthy and Charles Murphy are
two of the entertainers who will help
to provide mirth. The proceeds of the

Many Speeches Made.
Mayor Becker made an able defense
of his stand against annexation and
was followed by number Of other
representative business men. Mayor
Becker's position is substantially that
which he takes in an authorized In
terview, which appears elsewhere in
this paper
Attorney William J. WINERY ex-
pressed the opinion that East Chicago
could reduce Hammond's representa-
ton in the new council of the amalga-
mated cities to little or nothing. He
was supported in his contention by
Attorney George Sheerer.
John Gavit expressed the opinion
that the necessity for fighting alamga-
nation in the courts would tie up ev-
til the supreme court had rendered q
decision in the matter
John E. Fitzgerald opposed the prop
osition from a business mans point OF
view. He thought the cities of the re-
gion should get together and decide
tho terms under which the proposed
amalsamation should take place.
To Hold Another Meeting.
Others who spoke were George
Locklin. Jacob Schloer, A. NJ. Turner
Roscoe E. Woods and Tom Sigler- Mr.
Turner took very broad view of the
matter and stated that he is-in favor
of malgamation as general PROPOSE
ton, but stated that he would probab-
ly sign the remonstrance.
Woods was the only one who at
tempted to advance any arguments in
favor Of amalgamation, but from the
frigid reception that they received il
was apparent that he was In the wrong
church and the wrong pew. He spoke
on the suggestion of Mayor Becker that
the representatives of the press ought
to be heard from.
President McGarry stated that the
Hammond Business Mems Association
would probably hold another meeting
at which both sides of the question
would be presented, and Mayor Schliek-
er would be asked to present his side
of the case.
Late this afternoon President Nc
Garry announced that he had appoint

NO SUFFRAGE FOR
This YOUNG WOMAN
Ida M. Darden, of Texas, MingIes With
Politicians But Declares She
Would Not Vote.

Fort Worth, Tex, Oct. 17.-What
do you think of this-from a woman.
Il entered business from necessity,
but l wouldn't quit work if had a
million. Yet don't want to vote and
don't sympathize with the suffrage
move"
That's what Mrs. Ida NJ Darden, OF
Fort Worth, secretary of the Texas
Prosperity Club and the assistant sec
retary of the Texas Commercial Sec
retaries Association, says, and the en-
thusiasm with which she says it proves
that she means just that.
Mrs. Darden is the first woman to
break into 'the new profession" as
the work of the commercial secretary
has been named.
Nobody in Texas, where the profess
sion of commercial secretary has found
its most perfect fruitage, knows more
about the work of material develop
ment than this young woman.
She began her work as a stenogra-
pher in the office of the Secretaries
Association three years ago, and soon
showed her proficiency in the work
to such an extent that she was pro
NOTED to assistant secretary. On her
own part she organized the Texas
Prosperity Club, having for it's object
the advertising of Texas resources and
products.

MECHANICAL FORCE
MAY ALSO STRIKE;
fight To A FINISH
Company and Their Clerks at
New Orleans.

New Orleans, Oct. 1.-THE strike
of the railway clerks of the Queen &
Crescent system in New Orleans may
extend to it's mechanical department.
This information came Saturday
night from an authentic source, when
it was learned that a committee rep
resenting the mechanical men held II
meeting in the strikers headquarters
in the Montelone Hotel.
1t was also learned that clerks of
the lines not effected by the strike
will consider the advisability of hand
ling of interchange freight, now that
negotiations between the clerks and
the railroad have been terminated and
war to the finish" policy inaugural
ed.
This action followed the breaking off
of negotiations Friday. For more
than a week President d. D. Curran.
of the New Orleans and Northeastern,
has been in Meridian, Miss, trying to
bring about a settlement At one
time, it is stated, it was thought ne
gotiations could have been carried to
a successful end, but the refusal of
the railroad company to agree to take
back the majority of it's old men caus-
ed the employees to break off negotia-
tions. The clerks now declare for a
more aggressive and effective method
of fighting.
