who desired it, seeds of the White
Burley tobacco, to be used as an e1-
neriment as to whether it is adapted
to this soil and climate. Only few
avaiied themselves of the offer. Those
who did are much pleased at the re-
suit. Where there is a light SOIL free
from clay. the tobacco has grown and
flourished and matured finely. The adj
vantage of the Burley is that 1T does
not require firing to cure it. as do
the varieties now cultivated here. The
houses for curing the Burley are kept
ma italy open freely admitting the
air until it rains and the air is. warm
and humid Then the houses or barns
must be made tight. and the tobacco
is brought in order by the moisture.
and thus prepared Tor market.
MANY Of the planters who failed to
try5 the experiment when the seed was
offered them free of cost. after seeing
the a result from the work of others re-
Eret not availing themselves of the on
portunity. There are no special sale
DAYS for this variety of tobacco, but
when brought in. it is separated from
other lots of the weed and sold sep
arately.
The success has been such as TO
demonstrate the fact thata In certain
sections of Bedford. especially where
there is limestone in the soil, Rurley
tobacco can be successfully grown.

THREE F|REMEN
ARE INJURED IN
HARRISON BLAZE
Owners of Horse Burned to
Death Upbraid Firemen
and Are Arrested.

Three Harrison firemen nae narrow
escapes from being seriously injured
while working at a fire that occurred
liz the town today. AS it is, each OF
the men is nursing burns that were re.
ceived in fighting the blaze. Council
man Frederick Clifton, a member of
No. 8 Hose Company; Harry Williams
and William McGorrin, of the truck
company, the latter a volunteer, are
the men who met with the mishaps,
The fire, which was discovered by Pa
trolman Joseph Cpburn, broke out in a
barn owned by Gustav BaudendisteI
and located on the west side of Fifth
street, about 500 feet south of Harrison
avenue. The damage done by the fire
will not exceed $1,000, according to Mr..
Baudendistel.
Patrolman Coburn was doing detail,
duty at the corner of Fourth street and
Harrison avenue, when he saw smoke
coming from the Baudendistel barn, 3
block away. In a momen there was
a blaze and Coburn turned in an alarm
The companies arrived at the scene
in a short time n started in TO save
adjoining barns which were in close
proximity to the blaze. In the blazing
stable was a horse belonging to Ruben
Bros, painters, of Harrison; another
belonging to Gustav ~Baudendistel, and
a third, which was the property of Ed
ward Robinson. The animals of he
two latter named were freed by Baud
endistel and John Penzlack.
Councilman Clifton, who was one Of
the first firemen to arrive, ran into the
barn and tried to rescue the Ruben

when it suddenly turned M darted
back. Clifton attempted to reach it
again, and in order to do so had to run
through the blazing barn. His face
and hair were singed, and he was in a
| state Of collapse when rescued by fell
low firemen. /.
Williams and McGorrin were playing
a hose on the flames from the inside
when one of he walls suddenly swayed
and went down.. Both of the men, to
protect themselves, had to drop the
hose and mold a part Of the wall from
dropping upon them. In so doing they
were severely burned about the hands,
but congratulated themselves upon not
being more seriously injured.
In the midst of the excitement and
Just as two of the other barns took
fire, Edward and David Ruben, owners
of the horse which persisted, appeared
upon the scene. They began to up
braid the firemen, and are alleged to
have called vile names. Special Po-
liceman Henry Trapper warned the
Rubens to be careful. and, he declares.
they began to abuse him. The pair
finally wound up in the Harrison po-
lice station, where Assistant Chief
Charles Johnston preferred a charge of
disorderly conduct against them.
Police Justice Joseph M. Branegan,
after hearing Johnson and the wit
nesses. imposed a Inc of $40 on each.
| The money was paid, but under pro-
test. and the prisoners declared they
would take the case to a higher court.

COUNCIL WARNED
TO 60 SLOW IN
OUST|NG SERGEANT
BloomfieId's Attorney Tells
Solons Town May Be In
voIyed in Litigation.

Town Attorney Alfred B. Van Lew
OF Bloomfield, gave TO the Town Coun-
Gil in that place last night an opinion
regarding the effort on the part of some
of The councilmen to reduce to a patrol
mans rank John r. Bayliss, who has
held the position of police sergeant
since June, 1907. Mr.. Van LEV stated
that while he believed the office could
be abolished under certain conditions.
the power should be exercised with the
Utmost care, and only after an investi-
cation revealing the wisdom or neces-
sity for the act.
In conclusion Mr.. Van LEV said:
1T is the province of the Council to
determine If the circumstances of the
case urder consideration are of a char
acter to warrant permanently abolish
ing the office of sergeant. If this be
done ana circumstances be found that
would Justify abolishing the Office for
the public welfare. then the act, if cues
toned, may be successfully defended.
To do otherwise would open wide the
door for a litigation in which the town
would have the losing side
1T is likely that the attempt to oust
Bayliss will be abandoned.
The applications of John Filkin and
Michael w. Boyle for transfer of liquor
licenses, now held by James NJ. Beldon
and Harry ID. Mccain, respectively.
were ordered advertised for a hearing
on April 5. Heber C. Beldon was
dropped from the rolls of Essex Hook
and Ladder Company No. l. under the
ordinance providing for such action
when a member of the fire department
becomes a nonresident.
The dog ordinance passed final read
ing. 1t provides for a tax of SO for each
female and 81 for each male dog. This
does away with the tax on dogs. Own
ers of dogs failing to take out a license
will be subject to a fine of So for each
case. Any person interfering with the
dog warden in the discharge of his duty
will be fined 500 for IA offense.
There were a number of objections to
the laying of a sidewalk ON Race street.
The matter was referred to the side
walk committee. The resignation of
Charles S. Douglass from membership
in Phoenix Hose Company No. l was
accepted. The fire committee was
authorized to purchase six pairs of rub
Der boots and six overcoats for Phoe-
nix.
An ordinance providing for the issu-
ing of bonds for the purchase of a
school lot on Locust ayenue adjoining
the Watsessing school. to be used as a
playground. passed first reading. The
Council will meet again on Tuesday
evening, March 20.

HARRISON COPS
ANXIOUS ABOUT
SALARY INCREASE
BInecoats Are, Wondering if
They Are Ever Going to
Get More Money.

Just when the Harrison Common
Council intends to increase their SAL
aries in accordance with the interpre-
tation of a referendum passed at the
a. election, the Harrison police would
like to know. The matter is beginning
to get on the nerves of the bluecoats,
and they are wondering if they are
ever going to get an increase.
At the November election in Harrison
the citizens of the town were called
upon to vote for or against an act reg
ulating the salaries of police officers in
towns like Harrison. The police made
a strong fight to have the voters accept
the bill and they won out by a hand
some majority.
Nearly all who voted f. tie bill were
of the opinion that men who served
over eight years in the department
would receive 81, 200 per a.nnum. This,
the policemen also thought. Soon after
the election it became known that there
was a misunderstanding as TO the in
depreciation of the bill.
Town Counsel Michael 7. Barrett was
asked for his opinion on the matter,
and he advised the Harrison Common
Council hat after having carefully CON
sidered the bill his decision was that
no man in the department was entitled
to over an increase OF $50 per year.
This was a knockout blow for the po-
lice, but they seemed satisfied pending
a decision of the courts of the State.
The bluecoats W been waiting
patiently for their increase of $50, but
they have not yet received it. The
police of Kearny. who also Won out
at the polls in November. were in
formed through the kearny Common
Council that not one of their lei
could get more than an annual in
crease of $50. Town Counsel Edward
Kenny arrived at that decision after
having carefully gone over the bill.
Those of the Kearny bluecoats who
have been in the department over three
years have received their additional
pay at the rate of $50 per year. The
Kearny Common Council has passed
on first and second readings ordinances
providing for the increasing of the
salaries of the higher officers of the
department and for the appointing of
a day desk sergeant and a roundsman.
These ordinances will likely be passed
on inal reading at the April meeting.
AS regards the salary increase of the
higher police officers it is said that
Harrison will follow in the footsteps
of Kearny's Common Council.
