Newark, were renominated al the
Democratic primary held in the Dor
ough. Timothy Furphy was also one
Of the successful candidates. Their
selection last night practically insures

Carey and Mcdonald expected that
they would have to contend with a
combination composed of Furphy,

hard around the polls from 7 to 8
o'clock, but they were unable to corral
enough votes to elect the trio.
Carey was high man on the ticket,
He got $50 votes; Mcdonald, with 14s,
was next, while Furphy, with las votes,
was a close third. Windle got SO and
Lowrey 90, respectively. John Arm

COURT CONSTABLE AND
POLICEMAN IN CLASH.

A verbal clash between Court Con-
stable Albert Robertson, of Orange.
and Policeman Theodore Steve, of
South Orange, resulted in the latter
village yesterday afternoon when Rob-
ertson, with the necessary documents.
dispossessed Cohen Brothers, a tailor
ing concern, from the Roth building in
South Orange avenue. The policeman
questioned the constable's authority as
to his placing the Cohens' furniture on
the sidewalk.
IT have more authority than you"
said Robertson.
Authority or no authority. 1 want
those goods removed from this side
walk" Steve said in return, and the
Orange officer obeyed.
The Cohens, it appears, we're ordered
to vacate the store a week ago to make
room for another lessee, but Cohen re-
fused, declaring that he paid his rent
promptly. The Cohens removed their
furniture today to the "1atiron" build
ing, in Vose avenue, and will continue
business there.
Mrs. Thomas j. Foley, it is said,
will remove her bakery to the Roth
building.

POLICE AND FIRE
CHIEFS COVERED
BY CIVIL SERVICE
East Orange Executive Gets
Ruling Made by Assistant At
torney-General Gaskill.

Official notification was received to-
day by Mayor Julian A. Gregory, of
East Orange, that the offices of chief
of the fire department and chief of the
police department are under civil serv-
ice. Mayor Gregory had interpreted the
charter to read that the power of ap-
pointment was invested in the chief
executive.
Nelson B. Gaskill, assistant attorney
general, gave the decision after the
question of appointment was referred
to him by Gardner Colby, chief examin-
err for the Civil Service Commission.
AS tn sfe is no Vacancy at present In
! either department. Mayor Gregory does
not care to state his attitude at this
time. He will probably have the mat
ter contested in the courts, no ,sever. II
necessary, City Counsel Borden d.
Whiting giving an opinion that the
power of appointment was invested in
the mayor.
In his letter to the encouragement
Mr.. Colby explained 1t was the belief
of the commission that the East Or
ange charter provided for a progressive
form of government and the commits
sion believed the two offices were, I'M
der civil service. Mr.. Gaskill in his
letter to Mr.. Colby, which was for
warded to Mayor Gregory, said:
Paragraph eight of the city charter
provides that all such officers are to be
appointed by the mayor, subject to n
frmation by Council, unless other pro-
vision is made. Subsections 3e and 81
of paragraph &c.. provide for the estah
lishment of boards of police and fire
commissions, whose powers and duties
shall be to control and regulate the
appointment. suspension and dismiss
sal of the officers, men and employees
This seems to me inconsistent with the
retention of the appointing power in
the mayor. and the chief Of each OF
these departments is an officer thereof
aver though he be the head of the de-
partment, as any other officer in the
department.
"My conclusion would be that the
power of appointment of h chief nov
lies in the respective commissions"

CONFESSES TO ROBBING
SOUTH ORANGE SALOON.

Arraigned by Justice ]. Martin Roll
in the South Orange Village Police
Court today on a charge Of breaking,
entering and larceny, preferred by
Charles j. O'Brien, q saloon-keeper;
Simon Lewis, a carpenter, Of 1853 South
Orange avenue, South Orange, plead
guilty and confessed to having in his
possession more than a dozen tools be-
longing to his former employer, Ludwig
Palmer, of 20 Second street. He was
held in default of 5000 bail to await the
action of the grand jury.
Lewis was arrested by Policeman
Edward Forien early yesterday morn
ing, the officer suspecting him of be-
ing the man who entered O'Brien's sa-
loon at 1853 South Orange avenue, Sun
day, and stole money to the amount of
ST, and a bottle of whiskey. In court
Lewis said he only stole $5.S5 and the
whiskey.
Palmer's tools were stolen from his
shop in the real of his home on Janu.
airy 6, while Lewis was in his employ.
The tools were recovered from hin
boarding house by Policeman Edward
A. Tracey today. The police believe the
prisoner to have some knowledge Of
several other Toulouse robberies which
occurred in South Orange village ,and
township during the past two years,
since Lewis has made his home in the
village.

WYOMING RESIDENTS TO
WORK FOR POSTOFFICE.

The question of a postofice at
Wyoming, which \ has been discussed
for some time by the residents Of that
section, took definite form last night
at the annual meeting of the wyoming
Association, when a special committee,
consisting Of the Rev. Lewis b. Hills
and William NJ. Strong, was appointed
to investigate the matter.
The residents of Wyoming get their
mail at present through the Millburn
postoffice. and some years ago they
were served by a private messenger.
A part of the section neal the Maple
wood end at present gets its mail In
this way. but most of the people either
rely on drivers to bring the mail or
walk to the postoffice for it themselves.
The officers elected at the meeting
were: President. j. Q. A. Williamson;
vice-president, Ralph s. Foss; treas
urer, Frank B. Jewett; secretary, Her
bert E.. Shreeve; roads committee,
George P. Richardson, chairman;
transportation committee, Edward L.
Hale. chairman; local affairs commit
tee, Charles f., Coaney; taxation COM
mittee, w. S. Balliere, chairman; edu-
cation committee Mrs. Frank b.
Jewett; membership committee, T. Mel
vile Smith, chairman. Reports showed
the association to be in a fiourishing
financial condition. The membership is
now eighty-seven, the highest in the as
sociation's history.

TROLLEY COMPANY
OPERATING CARS
WITHOUT GRANT
Public Service Learns 1t Has
+. No Franchise in :.
Kearny.

Colonel Edwin w. Hine, of the Pub
lie Service Corporation, has learned
hat his company is operating cars on
Elm street and Belleville turnpike, Ar
lington, without a franchise, which lat
ter the p. s. c. wanted amplifed so as
to permit of double tracking on both
highways and a crossing at grade over
the Erie railroad tracks In Arlington.
This information Vas Conveyed to tile
colonel last night by Mayor Louis NJ
Brock, of Kearny, and terminated
rather abruptly a conference the col
onel was having with the mayor and
Town Council, sitting as b committee
of the whole. on the question Of fran-
chise extension and the making OF a
hoop in the upper end of the w
1t was explained by Mayor Brock
that about a dozen years ago., when
Chauncey H. Silliman was chairman of
the Kearny Town Board. the franchise
granted to the New Jersey and Hudson
River Railway and Ferry Company
(the Hackensack digger car" line) was
revoked because the company had
failed to macadamize n keep in re-
pair Elm street, as it had agreed, and
which was a condition of the franchise
grant. Although the road a been
operated ever since and has been abb
sorbed by the P. s.. c., 1t is claimed
that 1t has no right to use the streets
named, and has simply been suffered
to run its cars because of the pleas
of some Arlington commuters who use
the road in going to and from the Ar
lington station of the Erie railroad.
Colonel Hine said that this was all
news to him and that before he would
make a further move he would have
to consult the p. 8 C. counsel. Town
Councilmen McAteer, Crane and Tor

ference.
