'CROWO|NG OUT Of
co., THEME Of
UNITY LECTURER

The Rev. DR.. Arthur c. McGiffert, OF
Union Theological Seminary, New
York, was the speaker last night IN
Unity Church, Montclair, at h closing
meeting of Unity course in the Prob
lens of To-Day" He took for his sub
ject 1.-THE Modern Idea of God" He
said in part:
"You are oil interested in this prob
lem, 1t reaches back into the dark past;
II has retained many of its early fea-
lures long after they ave been worn
out. 1t is difficult to give an idea of
God 70 any particular person or to n
particular faith. The forces working
are complex. Any account we may
give today ma be net by some other
problem equally as good, All I can
speak of IS the present tendencies.
There is a crowding of God out of
places In which he formerly reigned
supreme. Is God therefore to be AN
ished from our work? God ceases TO
be an aid TO the understanding of the
universe, but faith in God assists US in
coming TO an understanding. There is
no law which can make a man believe
II God. He who believes can claim no
merit over the unbeliever.

SHOWS DANGER Of F,
GRADE Gross
IN EAST ORANGE
Expert Submits Comprehensive
Report TO Municipal
Art League.

With 8 new report presented by
Samuel Whinnefy; City Engineer Will
legerod studying plans and preparing
for any information the city officials
may seek, and the Board of Trade to
hold a meeting tomorrow night Tor a
discussion on the subject, officials OF
the Lackawanna railroad are appar-
emily not worrying. The company is
not presenting any proposition on ele-
waiting or depressing its track in East
Orange.
Mr.. Whinnery, who acted as consult
ing engineer for the city when the
railroad first submitted a detailed re-
port, and its engineers asserted de-
preston was impracticable n would
overburden the Lackawanna with ex-
pense, has given the Municipal Art
League, of which he is a member, a
report with a statement that the grade
crossings should be removed quickly,
and it was immaterial in accomplish
ing this whether the tracks were ele-
waited or depressed.
Mr.. Whinnery offers plans for COM
plete depression Of the tracks, conf
plete elevation and a comprehensive
one of partial depression having slop-
ing banks alongside the tracks and
having bridges at crossings. With
this plan adopted Mum avenue and
Fifteenth street would be closed, yet
the engineer says it would be pos
sible to have n streets continued
through a subway arrangement. lie
figures the comprehensive plan would
prove cheaper in the end than either
elevation or depression. He believes
the difference In the cost of entire
elevation and depression of the tracks
would be between $500. 900 and $500, 900.
Mr.. Whinnery does not believe the
residents realize the great dangers
existing at the grade crossings, and
particularly the junction" crossing at
Main street and Arlington avenue,
where 300 cars of the Public Service
cross daily, with one switchman and
a gateman the only guardians at the
dangerous spot. There are more than
$50 trains passing each day, he points
out, not including freights and extras.
The citizens, he declares, do not appre-
ciate the constant danger Of a great
calamity.

MINISTER RAPS
CONGREGATION IN
FINAL ADDRESS
Rev. Dr.. J. O. Sparnon Thinks
Some of Orange Flock Will
Rejoice at His Removal.

The Rev. Or. J. O. Sparnon, pastor
Of the Orange Methodist Episcopal
Church, Orange, in his farewell mess
age to his congregation last night prior
to his anticipated removal to the West
End Methodist Church. of Rochester,
y. z, following the conference to be
held in this city on Wednesday. eau
toned his people to be wary of the way
with which they received the Rev.
William a. Freye. who is to succeed
him.
DR.. Sparnon asked that his successor
be not forced TO choose between two
factions. as was his case when he came
10 the passionate a year ago. DR.. Spar
non said tina, more than $1,000 was re-
ceived during the year, which is an in
crease OF $500 over last year. An In
creased membership Of 2S was also
gained during DR.. S%parnon's stay.
Fear was the subject OF DR.. Spar
mons farewell sermon. II agree with
those who claim that ii was unwise to
have removed the rod from our
schools. Not that I believe that the
undispute6 use of the birch should be
permitted; only back of it there is
obedience. Some people always have
~melancholia, arrived at many times
from dyspepsia. If you have dyspepsia
my advice to you is to drink a glass OF
hot water every morning. Get rid of
II, for a dyspeptle Is always complain
ing and Is u nuisance.
Fear induces obedience. If it were
not for fear l would not live in Orange.
Mayor Seymour told me one day that
Orange has a fine police force. but the
city was good and needed no police,
That was good of the mayor, but If IT
were not for fear Of d~isobedience l
would not want to live here.
Fear not that l am to be taken
from you, for all will be well. Yes, fear
not, even those of you who will dance
in the pulpit for joy when | am gone,
for all will be well. Sin brings fear;
fear brings love. Don't cruelty your
selves; there was Il ~crucifxion, and
we don't need another"

father of eighteen and great-grand-
father of thirty-seven children. died
yesterday at the home of a daughter,

moned, but he never rallied. Death

WILL FIGHT MOVE
Of MAYOR HINCk
AGAINST SCHOOL
Bitter Strife Will Result in
Montclaif if Suit Is
Brought.

Mayor Ernest c. Hinck, OF Montciair.
IT is said. is after tho scalp of George C.
Gresson, collector of arrears of taxes.
An ordinance, it Is reported, viii be In
troduced at tonight's meeting OF the
Town Council to repeal the measure
under which Mr.. Greason holds office.
Assessor Robert B. Harrison, Super
tendent Of Roads Malcolm II. Smith
and Assistant Superintendent Of Roads
Andrew F. Smith nave been practically
removed since Mayor Hinck assumed
his duties. With these scalps girdled
around his waist the mayor has now
locked horns with the Board OF Educa-
ton.
The mayor is opposed 10 the pro-
posed 5000 900 addition to the present
High School building, which vas pro-
vided for before he took office. The
Board of School Estimate of 1910 recon-
mended the appropriation and the
Council acted fayorably on it. The
mayor Immediately upon getting his
appointment to tho Board of School
Estimate confirmed got into conlmuni-
cation with the Board OF Education
and requested that body TO reconsider
it's plans to enlarge the present High
School, and suggested the building OF
a second High School building, north
of Walnut street, at a cost of 100000.
To this the Board of Education re-
piled that the plan was not practicable,
as IL would require two sets of teach
ers in each department and could not
result to the benefit Of the pupils. Then
the mayor took back-water on that
proposition and suggested that the old
Central Primary School building be
turn down and a new High School
building be erected there.
Finding the board adverse to maldng
any change in its plans the mayor ap-
pealed to Town Attorney Robert NJ.
Bayd. ir.. as to what he could DO. The
latter informed the mayor that unless
the Board of Education and Council
rescind the resolution authorizing the
expenditure Of s200,000 for enlarging
the High School, as passed by the
former Board Of School Estimate last
November. there is no way 10 secure
a reconsideration, unless a taxpayers
suit is instituted. It is believed that
the Board OF Education will refuse TO
rescind it's action, and a canvass OF
the counclmen also shows a majority
against resembling it's action,

CHINESE LAUNDRYMEN
VICTIMS IN BUNCO GAME.

Intimidating and robbing frightened
Chinese laundrymen is the method m
ployed to exc out a livelihood by two
men who last week visited Harrison.
The Harrisor3epolice have been in
formed of the latter and consider that
the pair arc aoout as clever as any
bunco-steerers that sver struck the
town.
Hong Lee, who conducts a laundry
at 431 Harrison avenue, tells a story of
the methods used by the men who
claim to be inspectors from the CUSTOM
house. The Celestial was busy about
his place Saturday when the fellows
entered. One opened his overcoat and
displayed a badge and said he was a
customs house inspector.
do you use opium" he asked tho
Chinese. Lee answered in the negative.
The companion Of the would-be in.
spector then moved near the laundry
man and cornered him, while the other
removed a pair of trousers from "a
closet and searched the pockets. He
took the contents, about $40 In cash and
a watch worth $25.
The inspectors" also made a call at
the store conducted by Jim Lee at 12s
Harrison emu Harrison. They
worked a game similar to that played
on the other Lee. One ransacked the
place while the other threatened the
Chinese with bodily harm If he made
an outcry. They got away with a
valuable ivory cigar case. They over
looked, however, a neat packet of
"yellowbacks" that represented many
months savings. Lee has since placed
the money in h bank.
Chin Jim said today that a number of
Newark laundrymen had been victim
| lied by the pair, and that in several
| cases the victims CAV up mon rather
| than have any trouble. b,

SCHOOL OFFICIAL
To PRESS CHARGE
AGAINST BLUECOAT
East Newark Officer Serves
Warrant on Himself
After Row.

Patrolman Alexander McKenna, OF
East Newark, performed a rather un-
usual duty today-served upon himser1
a warrant sworn against him by
School Commissioner Charles Murphy
also of East Newark. Murphy charges
assault and battery, and the bluecoae
will have to appear in court IN East
Newark tonight.
Murphy secured the warrant Tor NC
Kenna's arrest on Saturday afternoon.
Recorder Edward Fitzgerald issued
the paper. The alleged assault TOOK
place last Wednesday night. For
some time Murphy and McKenna nave
not beer on friendly terms. The orlcer
says he heard several times that the
school Official had said unkind Things
about him, but he took n
action.
The pair met in an East Newark
store late last Wednesday night. Ihere
was a clash. McKenna declares II was
only verbal, but Murphy insists that
the policeoan struck him. Chief OF
Police Thomas Neville, who was near
by, was attracted to the scene OF the
trouble. He says he separated tines t~o
and that he saw no blows struck.
After the occurrence Murphy went TO
his home vowing that he would have
redress. Friends of both Murphy n
McKenna tried to patch up the affairs,
but the former would not hear of 1t. He
said he would insist upon Recorder
Fitzgerald issuing a warrant, and IL
refused, the matter would be placed
before the Hudson county prosecutor
by him.
McKenna declares that Murphy some
weeks ago made an unwarranted at
tack upon him in a Harrison saloon
and when a friend Of the bluecoat de-
Tended him, Murphy wanted to fight.
The pair went out to h street and
were in the act of mixing things up
when Policeman John Ryan, Of Harri-
son, appeared and the combatants beat
a hasty retreat.
AS regards their meeting last week,
two stories are told. McKenna de-
clares that he was in the store In
question and that he hard his name
mentioned, and he went out and ques-
toned Murphy. Words followed. but
Chief Neville appeared, and there was
no further trouble. Murphy, on the
other hand, says he was attacked with
out provocation and that he was struck
in the face. McKenna, at the time
was OF duty and not in uniform.

BATTERY A TOLD
To Be READY FOR
IMPENDING WAR
Former Officer at Banquet Re-
fers to Probable Struggle
With Japan.

The complete evolution IA the Ma
tioual Guard within recent years was
sst forth hy speakers at the annual
BANQUET of Field Battery A, OF East
orange. at its armory Saturday night
and talks Of war on the Mexican bor-
der discussed. Lieutenant Frederic "A.
Reimer. who leaves for the coast next
SATURDAY to represent the
ton. was wished godspeed.
THE National Guard Is not what II
used 10 be in years gone, declared
former Captain William l.. Fish IN nis
address. THE National Guafd IS O
the second line of defense IN the Unlted
states, and upon it depends the future
of our country. | believe from the
news now being flashed to the dally
nress that I'm the not distant future you
NAV be called upon. and God grant tnat
l may be with you TO go 10 the Soluel
shores. of the Pacific or the southern
border of Mexico.
.sWe have an element in CALIFORNIA
holnd 10 cause strife between the
United States and Japan. Some overt
act will be committed and our little
yellow brethren would see tit to come
over and chastise us. and chastise us
they will for a time, and the devas-
tation of the Pacific coast may occur
but we will surely defeat them in the
end. You will be the second line OF
defense. The guard must be we'll
trained. { d ! hope you will realize deep
in Your heart the responsibility that
rests upon you. The Japs believe the
grandest death is 10 die for their m
peror. They know no fear and may
YOU realize as one of your highest aims
to die for the Stars and Stripes.
Captain Harry L. Harrison was toast
master and the first speaker was David
l.. Piersou. of the Veteran Association
and believed the guard should have a
little more relaxation. Colonel Austen
colgate and Colonel Oscar II. Coudit
also gave interesting talks, and told OF
the work accomplished in securing ap-
propriations for the new arnaory, which
is expected to be ready for occupancy
within a year. Both declared the bat
terry was one of the finest military or
CARNATIONS in the State.
