CLAIMS OFFICIALS
ARE PARTIAL TO
PLEASURE PARK
Belleyille Township Committee
Criticised by Man With Free
Pass to Resort.

When the Belleville Township Conn
mittee last night refused to directly
grant a request to allow a moving
picture establishment to locate in the
township, but decided to lay over the
matter, a complaint was made and the
committee vas criticised for permitting
a moving picture concern to run in
Hillside Pleasure Park. Belleville. with
out a license by Ross H. Foster, a resi-
dent of the Greylock Manor section.
Before the moving picture matter
was advanced Foster asked Chairman
c. Lyman Denison If the Belleville au-
thorities could not arrange to close
the park entirely on Sunday, as 1t was
a nuisance.
A representative of the firm Of Bel
& Robinson appeared before the COM
mittee and asked for a license to ex-
hibit the films in the township. He
was asked by Mr.. Staniar where he
was going to locate, and he said that
he wanted the permission first of all
and would decide or that later. On
suggestion of Mr.. Staniar Mr.. Denison
told the representative that the mat
ter would be deferred until the next
regular meeting.
MI. Foster then asked why the COM
.mittee turned the man down and was
allowing a moving picture show in
Hillside Park to run unmolested. He
said he could not understand that, and
thought that the film show n every
other concession ought to be assessed
by the Township Committee.
"Has not his committee the power
to close Hillside Park on Sunday?'
he queried.
Mr.. JDenison replied that he thought
the body did have the proper author
ity, because Hillside was not running
under a township license.
When asked about Mr.. Fosters
statements regarding the park NJ. e
H. Thalier, manager of the resort
said:
"Oh. I don't regard Mr.. Foster seri-
orsly, but rather as a joke. He has q
free season pass for himself and his
family, and he uses 1t frequently, too
HE goes down to the Township
Committee and criticises this parl
and then up here to me. being
admitted by the free season ticket, and
with a sweet smile he is falling I'VE
himself to give me the glad hand
Foster told me some time ago that
when his two sons were in the parh
he was contented as to them and knew
they were all right.
HE does these things to the com
mittee for effect and nothing else
After being to the committee making
a big crouch against this place he
comes around here and wants it I'M
derstood that he is not opposed to the
park at all, but the last time he
offered these insincere and ridiculous
apologies to me l cave him a gooc
c~all-down."

MRS. WOOD WINS
POINT IN FIGHT
TO REGAIN CHILD
Aunt of Little Loretta Wood
Must Show Cause for
Action.

There was another phase of the fight
over the possession of pretty little
Loretta Wood before Vice-chancellor
Howell today, where testimony was
yaken on the return of a rule to show
cause why she should not be returned
to the custody of her mother, Mrs.
Mary Wood. of Summit.
Mrs. Wood is a widow and when her
husband, who was a fireman, died, Lo-
retta and three other children were on
her hands with little to support them.
Before the father died, Loretta. who is
now IA years old, had beer placed in
the care of Miss Jessie A. Wood. a
maiden aunt, sister of the father. liv-
ing in this city. After a while the
mother longed to have Loretta again
in her home, but the aunt insisted that
she would have to pay her board for
two or three years before Loretta would
be returned to her.
As the mother was too poor to do
this Loretta remained with her aunt
until one day the mother saw her child
leaving the Chestnut Street School. and
they became reunited.
Fights for Child.
Since then the aunt has made a fight
In the Orphans Court to get possession
OF Loretta, and Judge Ten Eyck some
time g decided to let the aunt have
her on the theory that the child had
been abandoned by her parents.
Judge Ten Eyck vas sustained In his
intention by the upper courts, but Lo-
retta, who has been with her mother
ever since she was taken home from
school. was not in the actual custody OF
the aunt. who still insists that she
should have the child. because of the
previous court proceedings. She re-
tanned Richard Stevens to renew the
fight.
At the same time the vice-chanceilor
In allowing the rule to show cause
has said that he had beer informed
that the aunt had recently suffered
from a stroke of paralysis and is a
helpless Invalid. unable to care for
Loretta. Until testimony has been
heard on this point and decided upon
no order will be made. Frank E. Brad
ner represented the mother.
After the Vice-C Chancellor had heard
the testimony he said that he would
have 1t Transcribed from the short
seth ndanotes and would then possibly
call Loretta to the witnessstand. He
fixed no date for a further hearing.
When the mother was called she
swore that she was now making a good
living by running a clearinghouse at
6 New England avenue, Summit. She
has fourteen boarders now, she ex-
planned.
How did you formerly support your
self and family" asked Mr.. Stevens.
with laundry work and by singing
in the evening at a moying-picture
show. 1t was a highly respectable
place, and there was somebody at home
to care for the Children @
DIR. J. Harris Maxfield, an ~osteopath,
testified that when he attended the
aunt at her home. 271 Walnut street,
she suffered from a stroke of paralysis,
but that her physical condition at pres
ent was good. He was sure that she
was not helpless by any means, and
that her disease was developed by
worry over Loretta.

Mrs. Fluter,s contention that Mr..
Hefka had stolen a dozen rabbits from
her, and Hefka did not deny the soft
impeachment.
Il took the rabbits all right, judge"
he said, but 1t was on a bet and
doesn't count"
Naturally. h magistrate wanted to
know why the theft of a dozen Dummies
didn't count, even though it was on a
bet. and he intimated as much rather
sharply.
"Fluter and I got to speaking about
rabbits the other day." Hefka went oh.

But 1 know about it, and they are

Hefka looked panied, but kept on.
Now, If Fluter was only here he could
explain everything. He'd pay me the
81. I'd give back the rabbits and we'd
all be good friends again, as though
nothing had happened, but
"Fluter amt got nothing to do with
it." said Mrs. Fluter. THE rabbits are
mine and they're gone, n l var JUS

Judge Hahn paroled Hefka in 5000
ball for examination next week and
urged the desirability of bringing

Blind Like Fiction Only.

A New York woman who Is inter

thought it would be a good idea to
place some religious literature in the
various Institutions for the blind, pro-
vided some one in charge would read
it to them. She accordingly visited
one such asylum and made the sugges-
ton to the matron. She was received
graci0usly, and the matron said they
would be glad to have the literature
placed in the library, but that the
blind did not care for any kind OF Sc
rous reading.

explained, ''but they want only fiction
They do not care for anything else. If
we try to read to- them books Of any

fiction, but probably because It makes
