ONLY
PRACTICAL WAY,
ENGINEER THINKS
East Orange Official Argues
Against Elevation of Lacka-
wanna Tracks.

City Engineer William ID. Willigered,
of East Orange. in a statement today
said he favors lowering the gradient of
he railroad, instead of elevating the
tracks in that city. East Orange has
maintained Q firm stand in favor of
depression, while the railroad has urged
elevation as the only reasonable way
for abolishing the death traps. The
elevation has also been urged for Or
ange.
Depression is not only practical .
SAID Mr.. Willegerod. but. in my opin-
ion, is far better than elevation. In the
reports given out by the railroad and
other experts. depression has not had a
fair show, and has not been properly
put before the public. The statement
of the railroad that the depression
ton is all posh. Depression may be
more costly than elevation, but the diff
ference will be slight. 1t will also cost
more, probably. to run trains while
changes are in progress for depression
than for elevation.
The railroads have said in a general
way there are engineering difficulties
In the way of depression, but these So
called difficulties have not been speci-
fed. In the matter of the street sur
taee drains these could be changed
for the same cost. if not cheaper, were
depression determined upon than
would be the case if tracks were ele-
waited.
"The road cam d~epress in East or.
ange and elevate in Orange. Depres-
sion continued from R%oseville through
East Orange. thence to elevation in
Orange, would be more feasible than
from the Roseville depres-
sion, owing to the fact that the eastesIy
end of East Orange is q summit. while
toward Orange it is a slope, as is
Orange.
1T has, however, always been a
question of dollars and cents. and
while | have not given the matter the
full attention / expect to before quot
ing figures am certain depression is
not so undesirable as has been claimed.
railroad folk say quicksand figures
in the question of changes. If that is
true | would prefer putting a u in
ground to upsetting it and placing
bottom up in the air, as would be
the case with elevation"

HARD TO REFORM
AMERICAN GIRLS,
AUTHORITY SAYS

Miss Katherine B. Davis, superin-
tendent of the New York State Re-
fornatory for Women at Bedford, that
State, gave a talk at a meeting of the
social science department of the
Woman's Club Of Orange yesterday
afternoon, in which she described the
work done for women from 16 to 30
years who are imprisoned at the in
stitution for every offense except MUIR
der in the first and second degrees.
She classes as the most hopeful those
women who sinned through ignorance.
particularly foreigners. She also
classed negresses as hopeful.
THE least hopeful class" she said,
lis composed of American girls of
American-born parents. One reason is
that in some cases they have inner
tied immortality or come from homes
where it is practised. They do well
under supervision, but are failures
When sent out into the world.
81 don't believe in melting out a spe-
ciic punishment for a specific offense.
We should prepare these women for
the life outside. The directors of a
reformatory can't say how long it will
take to fit a girl to return to the out
side world any more than a physician
can tell how long it will take a patient
to be cured sufficiently to enable him
to cave the hospital. In either ease
no one would want to keep under his
care a person who was fitted to be dis
missed. / therefore advocate an In
determinate sentence"
Miss Davis said that the most bene-
fetal work to be given the inmates of
reformatories is outdoor work, which
restores the health and nerves of wo-
men who are run down physically or
mentally, and that she would urge the
New Jersey committee to use the great
est care in selecting a site for the re-
formatory. She laid stress upon the
fact that pleasures and amusements
are a vital necessity for women of this
class in order to fill the mind with
pleasant things to crowd out the evil
ones.

CONVENTION MAY
SMASH SLATE Of
PARTY LEADERS
Some Dissatisfaction in South
Orange at Selection of
Candidates.

When the nominating committee OF
the Peoples party presents the names
of DR.. T. O'Conor Sloane for president
B. Self, Frederick j.. Lovatt and John
F. McDonough for members OF the Viii
lage Board of Trustees at the party's
convention to be held in the Village
Hall Saturday night, opposition is
likely to develop to some of the selec-
tons, and there may be an attempt to
stampede the meeting.
The campaign in South orange for
control of the village governmental
body grew hotter last night and the
annual battle on between the Citizens
and Peoples factions, which will end
at the polls on April Is, promises to be
one OF the bitterest that the village has
eve had.
In addition to the dent between the
Citizens and Peoples there is at present
a division IN the ranks of the latter
faction. That there is opposition to
some names on the slate decided upon
by the Peoples committee on nomina-
tons last night is assured.
Immediately after the committee
uAidtilAilOuSiy dlliiOuIlCcQ us ScltNtlOiS
last night Edward A. Wallace, secre-
tary of the party, said: 80, that is the
ticket? That slate win never go
through. 1t will never be nominated
at the convention"
MI. Wallace said today that he OPP
poses the selection OF DIR. Sloane as
the presidential nominee and favors
former President Edward Self for the
nomination. Asked if MI. Sells name
will be placed in nomination at the
convention he answered: at probably
WILL
Yes, an attempt will be made to
nominate him il we can get enough to-
gether," added former Trustee Edgar
NJ. Taylor. who appeared to be dissat-
isfied also. Mr.. Taylor objects to the
selection of Trustee John F. McDon-
oush for another term, declaring: "I
don't see why a traitor should be
named again." Mr.. Taylor referred to
Mr.. McDonough In this manner, it is
believed, because the latter never al
lowed party affiliations to interfere
with what he believed for the best in
terests of the village.

Life of America" at the jubilee serv-
ices last night of the Orange Valley

WATER CONTRACT
AGAIN HELD UP
IN EAST NEWARK
Borough Council Evenly Divided
on Ten-year Franchise
Grant.

Three members OF the East Newark
Common Council, Councilmen Johh
Brown, George White and Thomas Cor
bliss, favor the ten-year extension OF
water contract sought by the New Jer-
sey Suburban Water Company. through
its president, Turner A. Beall. The
three signified their willingness to vote
for an extension at a meeting of the
Borough Council last night. The
scheme failed of realization, however.
Beall was present at the meeting
to look after the interests of his COM
pany. He renewed the offer made at
the last n.eeting to make the borough
a present Of the Clark Thread Com
pany as u customer, and to pay into
the borough Golfers or deduct from the
annual bill of the municipality the sum
of $3.50, this money to be a bonus.
Mayor Cornelius A. McGlennon did
no seem satisfied with the offer. He
asked Beall If the company would allow
the borough $3.50 extra per year Cor the
FIVE years that the present contract has
been in force. Beall thought for a min
nte and said he believed his company
would jump the bonus from $3.50 to
$500 a year., and this wss the best that
could be done.
The mayor explained that previous TO
the Suburban Company taking the
Clark Company as a dill eet customer,
the borough was receiving an annual
profit of SO 1000 on water sold the big
concern. In five years, the mayor said,
the municipality had suffered a loss Of
SIS. 900. He suggested that the matter
be again laid over. This was not pleas
ing to Mr.. Beall, who declared hat it
was a hard matter for him to come to
East Newark every time the Council so
desired. He was asked if the borough
you'd retain the Clark Company as a
customer after ten years, and said he
believed there would be no reason for
a change.
The Council then went into confer
ence for about a half-hour, and the
matter was presented on all sides by
the mayor. The executive asked Coun-
Gilman Brown what his attitude was.
He declared thai he wal in favor of
the extension as the inducements Of
fered were good. White in explaining
why he was in favor said the company
had given complete satisfaction. Cor
bliss would vote in favor because of
the reasons expressed by the others.
Councilmen Owen Gillen and Thomas
Walsh both said hat they were OPP
posed to the proposition. They did not
think the borough vas getting Is
much in return as it should. The mayor
also declared he would not vote for
the extension. 1t was then decided to
lay the question of extending the con-
tract until some future date, Beall
was summoned and Mayor McGlennon
told him the decision reached. Beall
