DR. CRIPPEN REPORTED TO
 HAVE SOUGHT REFUGE IN IMMUNE ANDORRA REPUBLIC
Special from Union Press.)

London, July 22.-Oficial advices received today by the operatives of Scotland Yard strengthen the belief that Dr. H. H. Crippen, murderer of his wife, Belle Fillmore, the actress, has sought refuge in the almost for gotten little republic of Andorra, where he is practically immune from eXtradition.
 According to various accounts Grip pen was last seen at Vernet-Les- Baines, the French watering place on the south slope of the Pyrenees, go- ing from there to Mont Louis whence he probably made his way into the republic.
 Andorra is an independent repub- lie of 175 square miles in area, lying high up on the southern slope of the Pyrenees, between France and Spain. It is a desolate place, under snow six months in the year. There are only 5000 inhabitants but they have guarded their independence since the time of Charlemagne.

Norfolk. Va, July 22.-Fortress Monroe, which yesterday was gay with anticipation over an unusual military spectacle, is today enshroud- ed in deepest gloom ever known there in time of peace. Colonel Townsley today informed the relatives of the Il men who were killed by the pre- mature explosion of the big 12 inch gun in Battery De Russy that he will await their replies regarding the burial of the men.
 The bodies will be shipped at the expense of the government to the homes, if, it is desired. Otherwise they will be buried at the military cemetery nearby.
 Despite the horror of the accident, several officers and men who were in the battery at the time of the explo- sion are receiving congratulations to- day for the heroism they displayed in going to the rescue of the injured men and in preventing the explosion of another charge of powder which was near the gun awaiting another shot.
 Colonel Townsley sent the follow ing message to the War Department

HEART DISEASE CAUSES
DEATH OF HARRISON MAN.

After failing to receive answers to
several questions asked, Mrs. Julius
Fielder, of SIS Harrison venue Har-
rison, yesterday afternoon bent owe
her husband, whom a short time before
had gone to bed, and found that he
was dead. Heart disease, superinduced
by acute indigestion, was the cause of
death, according to Deputy County
Physician Henry Alters, who viewed
the remains, and granted a burial per-
nit.
Fielder, who was 81 years old. was an
expert machinist, and for some time
had worked in the machine shop of the
General Electric Company, Harrison.
He was taken ill a few weeks ago and
was unable to work. He was not con-
fined to his bed, however. DR.. Alters
was called to attend him. The physi-
clan diagnosed the case as one of heart
disease.
Fielder never took to his bed until a
short time before death enSued yes
terday. He told his wife that he felt
weak. He was in bed but a very short
time, when, as his wife thought, he fell
asleep. Besides his widow, he is sur
vived by one child. He was Socialist
candidate for councilman from the
Third ward of Harrison at one time.
He resided in the town about a dozen
years. The funeral will take place Sat
urday, Mrs. Fielder said today.

ROLLER SKATING UNDER
BAN in EAST NEWARK.

Roller skating on Central avenue,
East Newark, must stop. Such was
the conclusion of the police committee
of the East Newark Common Council
and Chief of Police Thomas Nevill after
a conference that lasted over an hour
last night. There nave been several
bad accidents on the thoroughfare as
a result Of the skating and several
times some of the skaters have mar
rowly missed going under wagons.
A week ago a girl fell and broke her
arm, while enjoying the sport. Last
night Councilman Daniel Delaney, of
the police committee, learned hat "a
girl had fallen AND torn her scalp bad
ly. The meeting Of the police commit
tee followed. Chief of Police Neville
said today that he would nave his men
stationed along the venue tonight,
and all skaters would be warned to de-
sist, those who insist upon skating on
the forbidden ground to be arrested.
Pedestrians who ave had narrow
escapes from being injured by having
the flying skaters collide with them are
jubilant today over the fact that the
pastime must be discontinued. The
skaters may use the side streets If they
wish to enjoy the sport, but they must
cease skating at 9 o'clock.

GRAOE-CROSSING
BILL ASSAILEO IN
EAST ORANGE
Council Takes Stand That
L~ackawanna Measure Would
Mean Burden to City.

Called upon again to defeat what is
considered a furtive attempt of the
Lackawanna Railroad to enact legisla-
ton at Trenton which will force the
municipalities of East Orange n Or
ange to accept a portion of the cost for
trackage changes along a railroad,
the East Orange City Council, at a
special meeting last night, passed reso-
buttons ~denouncing ems bill No. 255.
introduced by Senator Alderman, and
announced it's decision to go to Trenton
on Monday afternoon and vigorously
oppose the measure.
The meeting last night followed the
awakening of the officials to the fact
tina if the bill fathered by Senator
Alderman is passed mooted questions
affecting the changes of tracks and the
removal of deadly grade-crossings, when
municipalities and railroads may differ,
the State Railroad Commission may
take up the job of compelling the
changes desired. In the event of an
order to make the changes, after public
hearings nave been given, issuing from
the railroad commission, the apportlon-
Inent of cost may be divided between
tho corporation and municipal govern
ment, the railroad paying 65 per cent.

naming 50 per e
The bill. # passed. would cost Or
ange and East Orange, between them,
$500. goo to 500. 900, as the proposed
changes Planned by the Lackawanna
wears ago and published frequently, will
entail an expenditure of approximately
Sc. 900. 900 in those two cities alone. Both
Orange and East Orange have officially
announced that not n dollar will be
paid by the city for the improvements
the railroad contemplates. The bill
contains also authority for charging
Ia trolley company now crossing the
railroad tracks Is per GER of cost for
changes at these crossings, and as there
are two important crossing of trolley
lines. one at Main street and Arlington
avenue, East Orange. and at Cone
street. Orange. the Orange folk are
satisfied the measure was shrewdly ar
ranged to specifically the question
in these two cities.
"This bill" said Mayor Cardwell, is
the most vicious bill ever introduced i'll
Trenton. It is not a proper thing for
a commission composed of but three
men to settle Il matter against the
wishes of $4,000 We should not pay
n dollar" concluded the mayor.

COUNCIL RAPS At
LEGISLATIVE ACTS
AFFECTING CITY
East Orange Opposed to Sewer,
age Bill as Well as Po-
lice Measures.

Although no action was taken. the
bill empowering the Passaic. Valley
Sewerage Commission to enter into a
contract with the United States gov
eminent for an outlet sewer to New
York bay was generally discussed bv
the East Orange Common Council last
night. Mayor Cardwell brought the
bill before the attention of the Council.
City Counse Jerome D.. 'Gedney. In
speaking about the bill, said that If
was worse than foolhardy. 1.-THE diff
ferent municipalities who entered that
sewer" he said, were forced by the
State to stop draining into the Pas,
safe, which action reduced the law to a
mere license. What then is to prevent
the United States government from
stopping this State from pouring her
sewage into government waters?"
Another bill now before the Legisia-
ture. making the number of citizens to
each policeman 500 instead of 700. as
in force heretofore, vas opposed. Coun-
Gilman Grover spoke against the
measure. IF this goes into effect" he
said, I'VE will be soon paying $50, 900
for the salaries of our police and our
force will then be increased to seventy
or eighty patrolmen. >
East Orange is in no position to
accept this, as are other cities. Orange
receives large revenues from. herr
licenses, while we here have but ff-
teen or twenty saloons. East Orange
receives her money from no other
source than her taxpayers. She can
not depend upon a Market and Broad
street, as can Newark; neither has she
factories or large business enterprises.
I tell you you will have to sit UP and
take notice, for these questions are Sc
rious. I ask opposition to that bill"
The Council then passed a resolution
condemning the measure.
Mr.. Grover and Mr.. Pierson also took
exception , the bill which makes man.
datory q salary of $500 for police COM
missioners. Mayor Cardwell said he
had talked with a number Of the police
commissioners. who said they were I'M
willing to accept honey for their serv-
ices. mo one wants the bill to pass
said the mayor, "for 1t would only
tend to securing men whom we do
not want and would cheaper the Office"
During a lull in the meeting, while
Mr.. Gedney was preparing a resolution.
Councilman Grover offered a resolution
that the thanks of the Council be ex-
tended to the special committee of the
Board of Education for the plan ar
rived at by them toward the relieving
of the congestion in the High School.
"T believe we nave the proper scheme
now" said Mr.. Grover, land it is a.
great wonder to me that it was not
thought out long ago."

POLICE
BY DARING LEAP
FROM WINDOW
Harrison Man, Thought Dement,
ed, Is Caught After Long
Chase by Cops.

Wait a few minutes, officers, | Will
go upstairs and get my hat and coat.
and l will be right with you" James
Flynn, of 220 North Second street, Har-
rison, so addressed two members of the
Harrison police department yesterday.
when the latter, after a two hours
search. had managed to locate him in
front of his home.
The bluecoatS waited for Flynn for
what seemed to them an nour Final
ly one of them went into the house to
get Flynn and he was surprised to
learn thai the man had jumped from
a second-story window and had made
good his escape.
The officers, Reilly and Malady,
started out again for their man. They
followed the course thought to have
been taken by him. Women in the
neighborhood told of seeing a hatless
and coatless man leaping over the
fences. Reilly and Malady hurdled a
number of siX-footers and finally land
ed at Grant and Soaring
Adrian Dolphin, a son of Councilman
NJ. OF. Dolphin, who is also a ply
stefan, saw the policemen, and, calling
them to the automobile in which he
sat waiting for his father, who was
making a call, said that a man, APP
parently crazy, had a few moments be-
fore jumped into the machine and
ordered him to drive to hell, SO that he
could coal the fire there.
That was the last seen of Flynn until
early today, when Patrolmen Arthur
Coakley and Charles Biegner at 1875
o'clock located him.. he tried to get
away, but the officers were the more
fleet of foot, and he was made their
prisoner. He begged to be allowed to
go home and lock his doors, but his
wishes were not granted. He was taken
to the police station and locked up.
Flynn, who is very well known in
Harrison, is slightly demented, and
when he partalSes of alcoholic bever-
ages he loses his reason entirely. Only
a week ago he was discharged from
the Hudson County Penitentiary where
he. had spent a couple Of months as
penance for a rampage he had been on.
Late yesterday he called at the home
of a prominent Harrison resident and
asked the woma of the house for a
brick. He explained that the front Of
the building was falling in n he
wished to make the necessary repairs.
The woman, frightened, slammed the
door in his face and barricaded it. 1t
was a shoyt time after this that he
was found by the police officers and
made his daring leap.
In the Harrison Police Court today
Police Justice Joseph M. Branegan
sentenced Flynn to a term of ninety
days in the p~enitentiary. He was taken
there his afternoon by Ratrolman
Thomas Dolan.

NOT SATISFIED
WITH VOTE ON
NEW CHARTER BILL
Friends of Amendment Say
Count as Announced Was
Not Accurate.

There is considerable dissatisfaction
over the vote last night at the meeting
of citizens in Club Hall. Montclair, to
amend the proposed charter for h a
town. The decision of the chairman,
W.. 1. Lincoln Adams, was that the
amendment was lost by a vote of Sc to
81. He merely announced the decision
of H. u Rowland, secretary OF the
meeting. The friends of the amend
ment claim that Mr.. Rowland counted
six women who were on the platform,
and stood up to be counted.
The proposed charter, which was in
dorsed, provides that the mayor and
four of the eight councilmen be elected
at large, and the other four be elected
one from each ward. The amendment
was intended to nave the councilmen
elected by wards as at present.
Chairman Adams was authorized to
appoint a committee of eight, two
from each ward in town, to make
known to the Legislature the result of
the meeting and to urge the passage of
the bill. The chairman sale he would
announce the committee sometime to-
day. There is talk of the friends of
the amendment sending a committee
to Trenton TO have their views as to
the election of councilmen placed in the
charter.
An amusing feature of the affair was
that the proposed charter was drawn
by five lawyers of acknowledged ability.
They each stated last night that they
had given the bill great thought and
| study, and that they had met at least
twice a month for the past two years
in drafting the measure.
Their friends spoke of their ability to
do the work and congratulated them
on their good work. Town Clerk Harry
Trippett, however, pointed out some err
rors which even the drafters of the bill
themselves would regret if the bill be-
came a law in its present form.
The bill would take the granting of
excise licenses out of the hands of the
council and place it in the hands of the
Court of Common Pleas, a thing that
the very men behind the new charter
wanted 20 avoid. Mr.. Trippett also
pointed out that the new charter would
leave the town without a constable.
Mr.. Trippett said there were other
things that he had marked in his copy
of the bill, he thought, should be
remedied, and it was handed to the
men who drafted the bill. They were
r~rofuse in their thanks to Mr.. Trippett.
The commission on future form of
government consists Of Howard Ayres,
Robert.M Boyd, jr., George J, Carr, I.
Seymour Crane, Edwin B. Goodell,
BENJAMIN V. Harrison, George Will
wood Murray, Nathan T. Porter, De-
catur M. Sawyer, DIR. Martin j. Syn
mott, Starr J. Murphy. Charles Fl.
Hartshorne, Herbert M. Lloyd, Otto G.
Wierum, jr., and John B. Wight. The
last named five drew the new charter
bill.
