ARRESTS FOLLOW

IN SOUTH ORANGE
P. S. c. LabOrers Alleged to
Have Torn Up Streets With

Eight arrests followed the defiance
today of the South Orange Village
Board OF Trustees by the Public Service
Corporation. The men taken into Gus
tody are laborers employed by the
corporation, and are charged with dis"
placing a street with the intent of lay
ing an underground electric light con-
duit without permission.
The case will be argued by judge
Thomas A. Davis, village counsel, and
Howard Gilmore. representing the Pub

its representative, Rudolph B~urkhalter,
applied 10 the village trustees fer a per-
init to open Scotland road from Ran

tina an electric light conduit be laid

that route with electricity. The per-
mission was granted, with the proVlsp
that the conduits he removed upon
thirty days notice from the village
board, such a proViso having been ac-
cepted In many other instances by the
corporation
The corporation men, however. re-
turned the grant and asked that the
thirty-day clause be eliminated. Later

an informal talk with the trustees. de-
clared hat he had discovered q law
which gives the company the right to
lay conduits In amy street IN the VII
lage without permission. The law
prohibiting such does not apply 10
villages, he %contended.
Village Counsel Davis was her OIL
suited and advised the trustees to use
all Of its police powers, If necessary, to
prevent any digging by the companies
employees unless the proper authority
had been given by permit.
4 gang of men were sent TO open
up Scotland road today, and Police
Marshal Thomas r. Mcguire, acti2s

rays household. at 9S Warrington
place, East orange, will have to wait
several days before he will be able to
find out whether he will continue to
remain a member of that household or
go back to st. Mary's Orphanage in

cellor Howell in Chancery chambers

on the application to o the ease.
John X. Hardin made the applica-
ton ON behalf of Mrs. Murray and her
husband. W. John Murray, who is also
interested in the adoption and care of
the boy.
Some time ago the vice%-chancellor
decided hat the boy should be re-
turned 20 the ~orphanage, the main
srouid Icing that the income of the
Murrays was too precarious, and hence
it was to the best interest of the hoy
that he should go back to East Provi-
dence. AS the decree in the. decision
has not yet been signed and he boy is
still in East Orange, Mrs. Murray and
her husband determined to make a
light for him.

Afhdavits We're presented today show
ing that Mrs. Murray has an income of
So, 500 a year from her practise OF
psycho-therapy. while Mr.. Murray's
affidavit set forth that he earns Sc, 900
a year as q practitioner and 81. 800 more
as a lecturer on the same subject.
1t was urged by Mr.. Hardin, who was
opposed by former Judge Thomas l..
Raymond, that the question of financial
responsibility had not been raised by
the ~pleadings and for that reason had
not received the attention during the
hearing which it should have had. 1t
was added by Mr.. Hardin that as to
that particular phase of the case the
court had not been aided by counsel
to the extent IL would ave been aided
had the issue of financial responsibility
been raised.
held that it did not make any difference
whether the Incomes of the Murrays
were large or small. as the orphanage
was within its legal rights in demand
ing that the hoy be returned. Mr.. Ray
nond also insisted that Mrs. Murray
had received the boy only for a pro-
stationary period of six months and was
keeping him. nevertheless, contrary to
her agreement.
