OVERCOME
BY SMOKE At
HARRISON FIRE
Other Children Affected.
Firemen Have Little Trouble
Extinguishing Blaze.

One person was overcome and Bev-
ersl badly affected by smoke at a fire
that broke. out early today in the bar
Der shop of AL Tino. at 26 Harrison
avenue. Harrison. The prompt arrival
and good work Of the Harrison fire
department prevented what might have
proven a disastrous fire at the Tino
building. The fire, it is believed, was
started by rats chewing matches.
e Awakened by the smell of smoke,
Mrs. Joseph Singer. who lives at %
Harrison venue, arose n investi-
gated. She saw the shop next door
was in flames and screamed for help.
Someone turned in an alarm and when
the f1reInen arrived the Tino family
was still in bed. The smoke-eater
aroused the members, and II was found
that Herman, a 7-year-old son, was
unconscious.
The lad was carried out and a ply
stefan who WAS summoned revived him
after hard work. The other three chill
dren, Peter, Alfonso and Susan, were
found to be affected and required medi-
cal attendance. Tino's wife, In a con-
dition bordering upon hysteria, was
cared for. Persons living on the upper
floors got out safely. Meanwhile the
were having their own troubles.
The smoke was so dense thai they were
unable to get inside the store. The
large window of the door was smashed
and in this way the smoke was cleared
from within, and the rest proved easy
for the "vamps.'
The blaze started in a closet, where
Tino kept his barber shop supplies. He
said that the closet was infested with
rats. He admitted keeping matches on
a shelf and thought thai the rodents
chewed away part of the box and ignit-
ed the sulphur. The damage was slight.

PRESIDENT. MAKES.
ATTACK ON FOES
IN SCHOOL BOARD
Head of Harrison Body Also
Cfiticises Former Chairman
of Supply Committee.

Commissioner Mai lin F. Desmond,
who was elected president of the Har-
rison Board of Education, bitterly de-
nounced those VINO used what he
termed unfair methods to defeat him
at the organization meeting last night.
Mr.. Desmond later assaiied Commits
sioner John Enright for the manner
in which he acted as chairman of the
supply committee.
In his speech accepting the presi-
dency, Mr.. Desmond said: 81 desire to
thank the members who were with me
in this little fight we had. Words can
not express my appreciation of the
manner in which one of the new com
m~issioners, James P. Finnegan, stood
by me.
Outsiders who have no interest in
the doings of our board approached
Mr.. Finnegan and by motive charac-
'teristic OF that class tried in every way
to have him bolt from me. They made
promises to him, lied about me to him
and finally made threats. Notwith-
standing all of this the young man
could not see his way clear to break a
promise he had made"
. AN PCOPiS IA 7 VI
Finnegan think that 1t Is nothing for
ard is low. They figure that everyone
else is on the same plane. I cannot
find words to express my contempt fol-
the malicious tactics employed, and. il
was all because I had occasion to criti.
else certain people. My ability to criti-
else has grown. with this fight. and
those who criticised me may hear from
me during the mex two years, and
perhaps to their regret" he concluded
Concerning his attack on Commits
sioner Enright the president declared
that one reason why he entered the
race for head Of the board was to
break up certain methods that have
been in vogue for some years. Mr.
Enright has been chairman of the sup
ply committee for four years, and to say
that he acted fair would be stretch
ing the truth. He ordered supplies
without consulting members of the
board, and we haG to order the bills
paid or engage in lawsuits every
month. l want to break that GUS
TOM" said Desmond, land a close
scrutiny of the committee named by
me will prove that I have done it."
Enright in his own behalf declared
that he had always been fair. He said
that Desmond ordered more suppli lei
than any other member of the board
81 ordered stuff before you were in the
board" shouted Enright al Desmond
and I'll do 1t when you're dead. You're
politically dead now. / never got a
nickel while chairman OF that con-
rhittee," said Enright, bringing his
closed fist down heavily on the desk.
Desmond denied thai he ordered sup.
plies without the sanction of the entire
board, and was about to cite an Incl.
dent showing where Enright was I'M
fair when other members Of the board
interviewed and asked that the discus.
sion cease.

TOWN MAY SEEK
COURTS AID IN
TRANSFER FIGHT
Refusal of Public Service to
Irvington's Request Will Re-
suit in Legal Action.

The refusal Of the Public Service
| Corporation to grant transfers to pas
sengers going to .Irvington at Eigh-
! teenth street and Clinton avenue,
came up for discussion at the meeting
of the Irvington Tow Council last
night. The matter was referred to the
town counsel, Riker & Riker. for
action.
Councilman Frank R. Sharp brought
the matter up. He said he had urged
the trolley company to grant these
transfers, and suggested that the mat
ter be taken UP with the NewarN
Board of Works. Mayor William l..
Glorieux laid that, according to his
knowledge of the company's franchise.
every Broad car should go through to
Irvington. 1t was on his suggestion
that the matter was put up to town
counsel.
The bids recently submitted to the
Council for the proposed new firehouse
in Washington avenue were rejected,
and, on recommendation Of b public
buildings committee, new bids were
ordered advertised for, to be opened
at the next meeting. April IL.
Councilman Eckelhofer reported that
the Public Service will lay ar iron con-
duit across Forty-third street at Hal
stead avenue within the next Two
weeks to relieve the bad condition OF
the t~horoughfare at that point.
Two petitions for the paving OF Cltn-
ton avenue west were presented t the
| Council. One was for. a bituminous
pavement and the other for a
adamized pavement. Mayor Glorieux
looked with disfavor upon the sixteen
foot macadamized paving pr s1sct'
which he maintained would leave
twelve feet Of mud on the avenue and
make 1t only a country road.
Former Freebooter Jacob held that,
inasmuch as a large number OF prep
erty-owners had signi1ed their willing
ness to pay for the advertisement OF
the petition for the macadamized road.
it was only Just and proper that they
should be given a public hearing. After
a lively tilt with Councilman Lacomoe,
during which each accused the other
OF INDUCING In personalities, bnth
petitions were ordered advertised for a
hearing IN May /.
Owing TO the objections of several
taxpayers, the hearing on b opening
| of Cummings street to Madison avenue
| was continued and referred to the tax
and assessment commissioners fof q
further hearing. Ordinances were
passed for the tagging of the side
walks Of weIland avenus from Nor
mandy place to Colt street and the
establishment of the grade ane flag
ging of Fern avenue from Chester ave
nue. to Rosehill place.
On the recommendation OF Mayor
Glorieux a motion submitted by oun
Gilman Green was unanimo is'y car
ried authorizing the approximation OF
$500 for the Shade Tree Commission for
the year. The contract for the curb
! ing and tagging of Newton place was
awarded to John Dorer, whose bid was

WOMAN MEMBER DEFEATED
IN HER FIRST SKIRMISH.

Mrs. Mary Hinrichs. the only woman
member of the Glen Ridge Board OF
Education, took her seat last night.
She was warmly welcomed by her fell
low members, but was defeated in her
first skirmish.
1t was at the close of the meeting
that the matter of prohibiting visiting
in classrooms in the school came up
Commissioner De Gress favored the
limiting of the time when visitors
should be received to the first and
third Thursdays in each month. and
he made a motion to that effect.
Mrs. Hinrichs favored every Wednes-
day as visiting day, and she offered an
amendment to that effect. It was lost,
however. by a vote of 4 to 3. although
the dates in the motion made by Mr..
De Gress were changed TO read the
first and third Wednesdays in each
month. II IS the opinion of many
boroughites that too much visiting in
classrooms interferes with the studies
of the scholars.
Mrs. Hinrici1s was named as a men1-
Der of the committee on teachers.

Capt. Copeland Dead.

Capt. Jno. J. Copeland died at his
home near Ehrhardt last Wednesday,
October 25th. He had been in bad
health for some time and the end
was not unexpected. He was sew
enty-five years old. The burial took
place Thursday afternoon at Mt.
Pleasant Lutheran church, the ser
vices being conducted by Rev. D. B.
Groseclose.
Capt. Copeland is survived by
several brothers and numerous other
relatives. He was one of the most
prominent men of his community
and always took an active part In
every movement for the general good.
OF late years he had spent most of
his time at home, because Of feeble
Health. Liberal and progressive, he
will be missed sorely. His wife pre-
ceded him to the better land several
years ago. They had no children,
and his large estate will go to his
nearest relatives, as he left no will.
He served as Captain of Company
G, 1st S. c. ", during the war and
made faithful soldier. How few
Of the old company remain! He was
q Christian gentleman in the highest
sense, and the world was better for
his having lived in it.
