VAGRANT MAKES
LOVE TO POLICE FORCE

cooed with perhaps more warmth than
elegance. You look awful good to ne,
and I can't wait for leap year. VIII
you be my own my onliest cop?'
Steve, despite the fact hat he had
right to listen to this sort of talk,
was just getting interested when Ellen
sighted Policeman William Tracy and
Immediately transferred her volatile
love. She asked Tracy If he didn't
think he could lear to are for her
enough to put up for a simple wedding
and a modest home. When the police
station was reached Sergeant Frank
II. Kenny drove all thoughts of or
binary cops out of her head, and she
declared emphatically, pointing at the
blushing officer: \
That's my idea of q model husband.
Name the date, Sarge, and I'm yours
for keeps
When Kenny nae made the woman
understand hat her attentions were
distasteful she said:
How I wish that Judge would come.

GETS REPORT ON
ELIMINATION Of
GRAOE-CROSS|NGs
Municipal Art League of East
Orange to Give Facts
to Public.

Samuel WINERY, the engineer who
was retained by the board of gov
errors of the Municipal Art League Of
East Orange. has submitted a report
on the subject of Embarrassing elm
ination. He does not specifically ad-
vocate elevation, depression Oh semi
depression, but points out the advan-
tages and disadvantages of each, with
the relative degrees of expense.
The league feels that this question
must be settled soon, as the present
situation, it was said, is retarding the
proper development of the city. The
difficulties to be met are fully realized,
and the league wishes to cooperate
with the mayor and Common Council
in reaching some agreement which will
be fair and satisfactory to the majority
of the citizens of East Orange.
1t also announces that contrary to
reports after the last annual meeting
of the league it has not advocated ele-
walton of the TRACKS as the best solution
of the problem. This was suggested
by the railroad committee as the best
and most economical way out of the
difficulty. but has never been approved
by the board of governors.
The league feels that the city au-
thorities should take the public into
their confidence, and hat no secret
agreements should be entered into.
Whatever result or compromise is
reached should be at the minimum of
expense to the city and should not In
any way be an eyesore or detract from
the value of property. The league has
long had in mind ideas for the beautih-
cation of the station surroundings and
the elimination of billboard nuisances,
but a vigorous campaign of this sort
would be useless until the completion
of the track changes.
1t a been decided to distribute
printed copies of Mr.. Whinery's report
in order that the people may be in
formed of the facts. and be prepared
to intelligently discuss the subject In
case another public meeting should be
called by the city authorities.

EIGHT De hOCRATS
SEEK ELECTION 10
SCHOOL BOARD
Contest in Harrison Grows More
interesting With Remittance
of Commissioner Reilly.

From the standpoint of interest tic
Democratic primary election 10 be held
in Harrison next Tuesday, a week prior
to the school election, will likely prove
one of the most exciting in the history
of the town. There are eight candl-
dates for school commissioner. Two
of these are present members of the
board. Three berths are to be filed,
and each candidate is working hard
among his friends.
Petitions were received last night by
Stephen Dwyer, of the Democratic
town committee, and when the smoke
Of the battle cleared it was foune.
that Commissioners John f. Reilly and
Thomas b. Goodman were among those
10 file. Others who did likewise were
James 2. F~innegan, George V. Head
ley, Dennis Slattery, Frank Coburn
Joseph A. Won fish and John c. Grace.
In a statement made Saturday and
published in the Evening STAR, Mr.
Reilly declared that he would not again
be a candidate for the Office. He gave
as his reason the fact that his time
was taken up too much with other mat
ters. The statement was made Volun-
tarily by the commissioner.
Considerable surprise was expressed
when it was learned that Mr.. Reilly
had changed his mind. He informed a
STAR representative that his action
was the result of friends insisting that
he do so. The Reilly petition and
that of Goodman were filed about the
same time, and shortly before the time
limitation had been reached.
II he is elected and serves out the
next term, Mr.. Reilly will nave been
connected with the School Board Tor
twenty years. He is now d member Of
the Hudson County Board of Free
holders and of the Hudson County
Democratic Committee. Commissioner
Goodman is Just completing his initial
term of three years.
The other candidates are sanguine
of success and declare they VIII fight
until the last ballot is counted. A large
vote is expected out. Judging from
present indications the register will
show more TALES than it did the year
of the clean sweep of the Citizens
Union, when the record school primary
vote was recorded.
The town Democratic committee,
composed of Councllmen Edward Rice,
Peter Sullivan and John DAILY, also
David Riordan and Mr.. Reilly, will
meet tonight in the Town Hall and
arrange for the officers to act at the
primary. The committee will also eX-
anime and pass upon the eight petitions
received last night by Mr.. Dwyer.
