NEW BUILDINGS IN MAYESVILLE.
The Town Is Growing and Improve
mcnts are The Order Of the Day.

Mayesville, June 5.--The building
wave which struck Mayesville about
two years ago still continues and
many are the improvements going on.
X. f. DesChamps and w. G. Thomas
are completing handsome residences
on West Lafayette street, DR.. J. II.
Mills, j. ID. Blackwell, and Miss En-
ma Mayes have modern homes in
process Of construction on Church
street, and h. G. Spencer and c. Tay-
!or are preparing TO build residences
in OIher parts Of the town. Still 9TH
er residences will probably be built
within the next few months. In the
business section of town, the large
Mayes building on the corner Of West
Lafayette and Main streets is near
ing completion. This building will
contain the new quarters of the Bank
Of Mayesville which will be equipped
as conveniently and attractively as
any Of the smaller banks of the
State. The building will contain two
large store rooms and offices and
when finished will be one of the hand
soonest and most modern business
buildings in the town. The new stores
Of the Mayes Hardware company and
w. Fl. Dean are now completed and
nj tnI ~ Il Il,
ness section.
r. j. Mayes, Jr., has been appoint
ed trustee OF the Mayesville school
to succeed S. NJ. Mccall, who moved
to Florence sometime ago. The Sc
lection Of Mr.. Mayes should give en-
tire satisfaction to all concerned. The
election Of teachers for the schol here
will be held in the near future. An
entirely new faculty will have to be
chosen, it is reported.
The citizens Of the town held a
mass meeting some weeks ago for the
purpose Of taking steps toward Sc
curing a new station here. A COM
mittee consisting of Rev. H. A. Knox,
J. w. Cooper and ]. f. Bland was
| appointed to interview the proper
authorities on the matter. The COM
mite saw the Coast Line Officials in
Florence and laid their claims before
them. Nothing has been heard as yet
from the officials in regard! to the
| matter and probably some further
steps will be taken soon to push the
railroad people up. The town needs
| modern station in keeping with the
present progress and growth Of the
place. The railroad business has in
creased wonderfully here within chs
past hve yeas and the company Will
no doubt see M justice of ,he towns
! claim for better facilities
The refreshing rains .of the PAST
few days have improved the crops and
| other vegetation to a large extent
and the prospects are much better
for cotton and corn especially. Gar
| den truck has suffered greatly and
the rains came too late to benefit
! some vegetables, such as cabbage.

CRITICISM UNFAIR,
Chief OF POLICE
FLYNN ASSERTS
BeIIeville Officer Replies to
| Charge of Rowdyism at
Ball Games.

Chief of Police Michael J. Flynn Oh
Re,,eville last night made a reply to
criticism in reference to the muroef
which occurred in the Forest Hill sec-
ton of this city last Sunday, foiioW'ns
a b seball game In the Soho section Oh
Belleyille. He takes exception particu-
larly to the charge that for forty years
and more there have been basepah
fights in Belleyille, and the police pro-
lection today is but little more ade-
ouate to suppress them than 1t was
four decades ago. The officers OF the
law seem to have grown callouS and
Indifferent
Chief Flynn in a statement 10 the
STAR voiced indignation at the article
and said that its reference to Belle
Vile was totally unfair and was based
upon misinformation and apparent
ignorance of the true condition of at
fairs.
The statement that there have been
baseball fights in Belleville for forty
years unchecked is not true n is
far from the real situation. AS a mat
ter of fact the murder last sunday oc-
Cured in Newark and was the inoirec,
result of a ball game in Soho. MY men
and l were on the scene without any
delay and along with he Newark po-
lice made all the arrests in the case
quickly.
"As far as the Belleville police be-
coming 'callous and Indifferent that
statement is really ridiculous and with
out foundation in truth, because II Is
a recognized and established fact that
the Belleville police are vigilant.
"A baseball fight in Belleville on Sun
day is a rare occurrence. The row last
sunday was, in reality. started by a
crowd of rowdies from New York, who
were invited here to play. There is
but one spot in the town where Sunday
baseball is permitted, and the CROWDS
who attend at that place are always
orderly and live up to the letter of the
law. The place where the contest oc-
cured which resulted fatally is hardly
ever used for playing ball and the only
occa sion to my knowledge when 1t Is
used is when a lodge on club plays a
friendly game there.
"I was a semi-professional baseball
PLAYER for more than twenty-five years
and during that period I, of course.
played countless times in Belleville.
and as a close observer I can truth
fully say that in all that time there
have been no brawls to speak of and
no serious nights during play. The
Belleville police department has not
been organized five years yet and 1T is
needless to add that there is no COM
parison between conditions before the
formation and now. We are mot
.c%allous.' want to state most em-
phatically that in baseball games In
particular there have never been any
rows of serious proportions, I have
always had a man stationed on the
field at all games"

MAYOR HAUsER IS
AGAINST |MHOFF
DISPOSAL PLANT
Bloomfield Executive Opposes
MOntclair's Plan for Sewer.
age Dumping Ground.

There has been an impression In
Bloomfield among certain people that
Mayor William Hspser. of that town,
is inclined to look with favor upon the
scheme of Mayor Ernest Hinck. of
Montclair, in the efforts of the latter
to locate a sewage disposal plant for
his town and other municipalities with
In the territory of Bloomfield and a
portion of Belleville. Mayor Hauser,
however, has expressed himself very
emphatically against permitting Bloom
field to be used as a sewage dumping
ground for Montclair or any other
place.
He declares that he told Mayor Hinck
that the own would not submit to the
scheme. Mr.. Hauser says he is OPP
posed to what he considers hasty ac-
tion in signing the sewer commission
act in it's present form, but he does not
wish his opposition in the matter so
construed as to make it appear that he
is in favor of Mayor Hinck's plan.
Councilman Sadler, chairman of the
sewer committee of the Town Council.
Is, however, In favor of immediate ac-
ton in executing a contract with the
Passaic Valley Commission
Each member of the Town Council,
together with Mayor Hauser, received
today from Joseph c. Sale, secretary
Iof the Board of Health, the following
resolution passed by the board:
Whereas, the question of the proper
disposal of the sewage of the own of
Bloomfield is now being agitated, re-
solved that the local Board of Health
of the town of Bloomfield does hereby
recommend and advise the mayor and
Town Council of said town that this
board favors the making of a contract
with the Passaic Valley Sewage Com
mission"
