NO OPPOSITION
At NOMINATION
OF FIRE CHIEF
Conditions Different from Pre-
vious Meeting When Ballot.
Box Was Stuffed. i,

Contrary to expectations and just OPP
posite to what happened at the last
meeting for nominations of officers Of
the South Orange Iillage fire depart
ment thirteen years ago, when fac
tional differences resulted in the ballot
box being stuffed at the election the
week following, the meeting of the
village volunteers las night was har-
monious throughout. Patrick McCanery
was the only name mentioned for chief
engineer. This practically assures the
present incnmbent's unanimous cleo
ton at the annual meeting next Mon
day night.
Having in view the past bitter rivalry
and unsettled conditions in the ranks,
the other three candidates for leader.
Cornelius p. Nolan. c. Frederick Parry
and George B.. Yeager, at the last min
ute decided to withdraw their can
didacies and 'allow harmony to pre-
dominate. However, there are to be
contests for the offices of first and sec
ond assistant chief and foreman.
George B. Yeager, the present fore
man of the department, vas last night
nominated for first assistant chief. as
was the present holder of that office.
William M. Ash. A spirited contest is
looked for here, as these men have been
rivals for office for some time. When
Yeager was chosen foreman he won out
over Ash by a narrow margin, and when
the Citizens party as umed control of
the Village Board of Trustees last May
Ash was seated over Yeager, The lat
ter is one of the "old guard" while Ash
has the following of the younger mem
bers.
For second assistant chief Daniel l..
Noonan n Peter p. Newman are the
antagonists. a veteran and a recruit,
while Thomas F. Fitzsimmons, one Of
the elder members, and Charles Allen,
a recent appointee, were named to OPP
pose each other for the foremanship.
Joseph Tracey will be the unanimous
choice for assistant foreman.

getting the best of him. He then beat
me with his fists and knocked me to
the floor.
II believed it best then to lay quiet,
and he started for the cash register. 1
got up and he beat me with a frying
pan about the head. I told him he
could take the money if he would stop
striking me. In another struggle we
wrestled out in front and people saw
US. Then he ran. If 1 could have
reached a knife / would have used it. ;"

modern means known to reduce fire
losses. the Board of Fire Commissions
