MOVING PICTURE
SHOWS TO Be PUT
ON TRIAL TONIGHT
M~Ontclair Council to Hear Views
of Citizens in Regard
to Licenses.

A public meeting will be held in the
council chambers, Montclair, tonight
to discuss the advisability of granting
licenses to run vaudeville and moving
picture shows within the town limits.
The meeting was called at the sugges-
ton of Councilman Charles H. Harris
horne, chairman of the police commit
tee of the council, to which committee
all applications were referred. Sew
eral members of the council are OPP
posed to issuing licenses for this kind
of show, and the committee thought it
wise to heal public opinion on the mat
ter.
Applications for licenses from the
following are in the hands of the police
committee: r. A Cheney, So Snyder
street, Orange; Leon Jensen, 499
Bloomfield avenue, Montclair; John B.
Sheppard, 66 Broadway New York;
Carl f. Nickelfelder, 469 Clinton AVE.
nue., West Hoboken; Thomas Amend,
BAT Bloomfield venue Montclair; l. X.
Loveless, As Park place, Orange;
George W. Courier, City Hall, New
ark; Philip Goodell, lawyer, 491 Bloom
field Montclair; Shefflin &
Vogel, 800 North Third street. Harri-
son; Edward nj. Bodine, 24 Claremont
avenue, Montclair; the Rev. DR.. w. d.
Bliss, Bible House, New York city. A
number of these applicants have APP
peared before the police committee and
agreed to erect fireproof buildings and
agree to any rules the police depart
ment might enforce.
1t is believed that If the Council de-
cides 10 grant a license onlv one show
of the kind will receive a license The
only one Of the applicants that has a
suitable building in Montclair Is
Thomas Amend, the wner of the
Metropolitan building. Former Mayor
Crawford was opposed to the creation
of moving picture shows in Montclair,
as was a large majority of the mem
beers of last years Council. Although
a number of applications were received,
they were simply tabled. Clergymen OF
the town. the Civic Association, the Art
Association. the Aitruist Society, the
Y. NJ. c. A. and all other societies
charitable and civic, are against the
licensing of such shows. The Council
is acquainted with the views of these
people, and it is a question whether the
members will issue the licenses in the
face of the wishes of what might be
termed the leading citizens of Mont,
clair.

house and grounds owned by Mrs. Mary
Riley in Clinton street north. Title will
pass on May !.
The property is located between the
parish house and the parish school, is
one minute from Main street and mid
way between the East Orange and
Brick Church depots, and the Lacka-
wanna railroad. Besides 1t has other
features that appealed to many.
Promoters desiring to erect a large
apartment house made o%vertures to the
owner and specified a large sum. Mrs.
Riley remembered that Father Callag-
han had longed to purchase the ground,
and when he readily signi1ed It was an
ambition Of the parish to secure it,
offered to buy. and Mrs. Riley accepted
a fair offer. Yesterday from the pulpit
Father Callaghan paid tribute to the

EXPECT STIFF FIGHT IN
LIQUOR LICENSE CASES.

A stiff fight is expected in Quarter
Sessions Court tomorrow, when the
question of the renewal Of three liquor
licenses in South Orange township
comes I'D.
The three licenses involved are those
of Herman Fl. A. Schmidt, of Olympic
Park; John S~tubenvoll and Thomas n.
Summers. Hearings on charges of vio-
lations of the Sunday selling law were
only finished last week by Judge Jay
Ten Eyck, whose term of office expired
on last Friday. Judge Ten Eyck made
no decisions in the cases after the tax
ing of evidence was completed. as his
tenure of Office was too brief to en-
able him to examine the legal authori-
ties on the subject.
1t is understood that a large num-
Der of South Orange citizens have
signed petitions asking that the licenses
be not renewed.

MAYOR SEYMOUR
CALLS MEETING
To BOOM ORANGE
Executive Thinks Business IN
terests Are Suffering and
Something Must Be Done.

Following many rumors to the effect
that business interests In Orange were
suffering keenly, and that one on
Germ of prominence was considering the
a~dvisability OF moving from the city,
Mayor Arthur b. Seymour today de-
cided to call a special meeting of the

chairman, for Wednesday night to talk
over business questions with mon of
the city. The gathering will be In the
mayors Office, Orange National Bank
building.
Mayor Seymour will seek to interest
the representative business men and
manufacturers in a board OF trade.
The hating business has lever recov-
cred from the shock of the recent
trouble and business men are deeply
concerned over the losses occasioned
by the partial paralysis of the city's
principal manufacturing feature.
Mayor Seymour's statement today
follows:
Il have called a meeting of the COM
mittee on miscellaneous business. OF
which Alderman Casey Is chairman, for
the . OF considering whether he
can obtain some new industries for
Orange. 1 was recently informed that
one of the manufacturing companies Is
going to move its plant from here, and,
owing to the disastrous troubles In the
hating industry some time age the
business of Orange is In a rather bad
way. II the committee, acting as a
sort OF board of trade, can do anything
towards obtaining new industries, so
that the citizens car obtain employ
ment, I am sure they will be authorized
to expend a reasonable amount Of
money towards his end The meeting
is called for Wednesday night. and l
would be glad to has the owners of
the factory buildings send some data
to us in relation to the factories they
have to let"
There is no Board OF Trade II, the
city and no organization in existence
that covers the business features n
has a large group Of interested men,
although a board of trade committee
of the Civics Club gets occasional re-
quests from out-of-town concerns for
information in relation to possible sites.
The Rev. Adolph Roeder. of the club,
last week turned over a letter to Mayor
Seymour. The trade board idea las
often been suggested, but up to the
present time nothing has been done.

RAPS MAYOR FOR
INTERFERENCE IN
SCHOOL AFFAIRS
MOntclair Executive Is Called
MeddIer by Board of Edu-
cation Member.

In an open letter School Commits
sioner Cornelius D. Dubois makes an
attack on Mayor Ernest c. Hinck for
his interference with the plans of the
Board of Education to spend $221,0o0
for charging the High School and buy
ing a lot for another school. Mr.. Du-
Bots reminds the Mayor that the ap-
preparations were passed on by the
Board of School Estimate before Mr.
Hinck became mayor n that no
future mayor or board of school esti-
mate has any authority in the matter.
From that point IN" the letter
states, "the responsibility and control
rest upon the Board Of Education. IT
is their duty to see that the money
Is wisely spent, that the building
erected Is a proper one for the pur-
pose, hat the peoples money Ia used
for the best interests of its owners and
is not wasted, sven If in doing so they
run counter to the opinions held by the
Mayor" Mr., Du Bots also mentions
In his letter that danger threatens the
welfare of the Montclair schools from
the contentious of the Mayor, and con-
tinues: "It must be remembered thai
the laws of New Jersey place the
schools solely and entirely d the
control of the Board of Education,
which alone can decide what build .nSs
and what kind of buildings are re-
quired, what principals, teachers and
other officers shall be employed and
what courses Of study shall be pur-
sued and. In short, places on them the
entire administration of the schools.
Members of the Board of Education
are elected by the people as a separate
body from the Mayor and Town Coun-
ell and are accountable to the people
for then every act"
The Council of 1910 ordered an issue
of school bonds last December amount
ing to 1921. 900, on the recommendation
of the Board of School Estimate. The
proceeds were to be used as follows:
5000, 900 for charging High School; $1o,-
900 for drawing plans for same; $1,000
for lot in -'ourth ward for new school.
When Mayor Hinck took office last
January he laid plans to upset the
plans of the Board of Education and
has held up the issue of the school
bonds ever since. He appointed two
members Of the Council, Messrs. Hen
ney and McGlynn. on the Board of
School Estimate, both of whom have
declared in the Council meetings that
they are opposed to the enlargement
of the High School. Two members of
the Board Of Education. Benjamin v.
Harrison and william w. Peake, and
the mayor, by virtue Of his office, are
the other members of the Board of
School Estimate. The mayor has a
majority Of One in the new board.

REALTY MEN SEE
BRIGHT FUTURE
FOR EAST ORANGE
Brokers of "Healthiest City"
Have 200 Guests at Get
together Dinner.

The first, or g~et-together dinner OF the
East Orange Board of Brokers, real
estate men. who have mapped out a
plan OF advertising the city, was held
AZ English's banquet hall, East Or
ange, Saturday night. under rosy aus
pieces. Two hundred men and women
sat down to the tables.
Lawrence L. Fell, as POSTMASTER,
announced that the measure drawn up
by Jerome d. Gedney, providing for
the lega1izing of a rate of commission
n it's collection with only a verbal
contract had been introduced in the
Legislature by Assemblyman Brown.
Mr.. Fell also announced that the board
would be Incorporated on Thursday
night. The speakers included Judge
Thomas A Davis, Mayor Gregory,
Councilman Pierson. Frank j.. Book,
City Clerk Lincoln e. Rowley, former
City Counsel Jerome ID. Gedney and
William Il. Taylor.
"One thing that has hurt East Or
ange.'' said Mr.. Fell, was the COM
muters' agitation. The statements
that the increased rates would rob the
commuter of his months salary are
ridiculous, as the advance really costs
him but two cents a day. Our beauti-
full streets. splendid schools, good water
and other attractions should be used In
arguments to boom East Orange"
Mr. Pierson congratulated the new
organization. He said the success of
the brokers meant not only their own
advancement. but would benefit the en-
tire city. He suggested that the con-
struction of buildings not Of a good
standard be stopped.
Mayor Gregory suggested continuous
and persistent advertising and urged
cooperation in having the main street
and railroad approaches made attrac-
tive. Heldeprecated .narrowness and
said the city has little use for the man
who gets property and then tries to
put any kind of a building on Il to have
rental returns.
Judge Davis called East Orange the
healthiest city in the State and urged
the brokers to advertise the fact. He
said tie Oranges were a garden spot
and deprecated the movement fire.
uuently talked about OF making n big
city to extend from the Passaic or
H~ackensack river to the Orange noun
tains.
Lincoln T.. Rowley. city clerk OF East
Orange, urged the brokers to become a
club OF boosters" William e. Taylor
told of things the brokers' association
hopes to accomplish.
