FIRE DIRECTOR
Roosevelt Ladies' in Row..
One Under Bail.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Roosevelt, May 2G.-It was again
demonstrated on Wednesday night
at Borough hall that residents can
not live the simple life, the latest
trouble being due to scrap in which
two members of Fire Company No.
2 were involved and which at the
time caused no little excitement as
friends Of both parties threatened to
butt in. Cooler heads, however, pre-
vailed and the incident was consid-
cred closed.
1t all happened at the fire in q
lumber pile near the borough line,
reported in our issue of Wednesday
The auto fire truck at the sound
Of the fire whistle speeded to an
swer the signal with several firemen
aboard. Here Morris Prince appear
ed, and being assistant foreman
claimed the right to order what
should be done. Thomas Croke
formerly assistant chief, was of the
party and proceeded to connect the
hose on the truck to a hydrant.
Prince demurred. and as Croke
either did not hear him or took NJ
notice Prince threatened to file
charges against Croks with the
Board of Engineers of the borough
1t is then alleged that Croke assault
ed Prince.
Prince obtained a warrant fol
Croke's arrest and Recorder Leven'
son gave Croke a hearing in borough
hall at 7:15 p. m. Wednesday. The
hall was crowded. Informed Of the
charge Croke elected to wave exam
nation and the Recorder held hin
In 5000 bail to await the action o.
the Grand jury. Walter V. Quinn
borough clerk, signed the ball bono
and the proceedings ended. After
wards in Fire Station No. 3 Prince
and Croke were induced to shak'
hands, but as Prince announced late
that he would prefer charges agafns
Croke before the Board of Engineers
the affair can scarcely be said to have
been concluded.
Under the borough ordinance reg
ulating the conduct of fremen of
tenders may be fined $40 or impris
oned.
