RESIDENTS OBJECT
TO LOCATION OF
G. ORANGE ARMORY
Field Battery A, However, Will
Pay No Heed to Petition
Being,

The officers ,of Field Battery A, or
East Orange, have contracted for the
purchase of the George w. Blackwell
tract. on the east side of North Park
vvav. between William and New streets,
as a site for the $780, 600 armory which
the LEGISLATURE decided upon at the
last session. The officers have also
options on W other sites in Maple
avenue north, one of which is to be de-
cided upon shortly, which will give an
entrance from Maple avenue. h pur-
chase price of the tractssis not given
out.
The Blackwell property was orig1-
nally to have been purchased by the
Board of Education as a high school
site. 1t has a frontage of 2O5 feet on
the k and a depth of about z4O
feet. The Maple avenue ground mas a
frontage of S3 feet and 150 feet deep
Already a number Of persons living IN
the neighborhood are ob6ectlng to the
location of the armory at this point
and have gotten up.a petition to be pre-
scented to Captain Harry L. Harrison
asking that the site be changed. 1t Is
not expected, however. that the petit
tion will have much weight, according
to one OF the officers.
The ~nronertv will be purchased by
the Board of F~reeholders, who have al
ready placed the money in'the 1910 tax
budget The appropriation is manda
tory owing to the passage of the State
law hut the officers will first appear
before the board and announce the To-
cation of the site. Unless some unfore-
seen ANTIQUITIES are encountered the
money win be given and building op-
erations will be started in the fall.
rho state has given $4,000 to start
work with. The plan is to v SsO,Ooo
appropriated at the next session. Inc
building will probably be OF brick anu
will cover about an acSe OF GROUND.
Various armories in New York are
being visited by the officers TO OBTAIN
ideas for the building. The armory
now used by the battery is located In
clinton street north, and the property
rum back t o Ashland avenue. II Is
owned by the Calling Gun Associa-
ton and represents ar investment OF
$10.O 900. 1t is planned to sell the puilo-
ing. and most of the money Will De
used to furnish the new building Col
oneI George P. Olcott is president OF
the association.
The building long. ago served It's
usefulness, and since horses were pur-
chased he artillerymen have drilled
with difficulty in the place. There will
be room for about sixty horses in the
new structure and big accommodations
for the men. The officers in charge OF
the purchase are Captain Harrison and
Lieutenants Claude E. Lanterman,
Frederic A. Reimer, Harry P. Dickin-
son and Robert B. Treat.

RAILROADS VOLUNTARILY
SUSPEND FREIGHT RAISE

WASHINGTON, July 20.-Important
advances in freight rates recently
made by the railways in Eastern clas-
siftcation territory will be suspended
voluntarily by the railroads until No
vember 1 next. This agreement, was
made by a committee representing the
carriers and by Chairman Knapp, of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
Chairman Knapp authorized the fol-
lowing announcement concerning the
voluntary action taken by >the rail-
roads:
ut being understood that the commits
sion would exercise its authority under
the new law and suspend all general
and important rate advances made for
the purpose of increasing event the
principal carriers in official classification
territories, through a committee APP
pointed for that purpose, proposed to-
day voluntarily to postpone the eff
fective date of such advance rates I'M
til November 1 next, and an arrange
ment to that effect was made after a
conference with the commission.
This will not delay investigation and
decision az to the reasonableness of the
proposed advances, but will obviate the
necessity at this time for numerous
suspension orders which otherwise
would be made"
1t is not unlikely that a similar ar
rangement may be made between the
commission and the carriers in the
Western Trunk Line Association terri
tory. Such an agreement, it is be-
lieved, will be reached before the end of
the present week. The carriers have
taken this attitude in order to facilitate
the work of the commission, and to in
sure speedy consideration of the tariffs
to be suspended.
II is the purpose of the commission to
lake up for hearing the proposed ad-
vances as early as possible, in order
that the matters at issue may be deter
mined, if circumstances permit, prior to
the first of next November.

STOVE co. FIGHT AGAINST
GOMPERS Is NOW ENDED.

CINCINNATI. July 20.-The con-
troversy between the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and h Bucks Stove
Company, which has just been settled
by an adjustment betweens Samuel
Gompers and the stove officials, began
about two years ago, when the late
James w. Van Cleave, president of the
stow company, sought an Injunction
against Gompers and others from pub
fishing his company as on the unfair
list" 1t was upon an alleged violation
of this injunction that jail sentences
were pronounced upon Gompers, Nor
rison and Mitchell. Mr.. Van Cleave
died some months ago. His death, 1t
is said, in a measure was due to worry
over the long fight in the courts.
Under the agreement the company
