STRYKER OUT AS MANAGER.
Resigns from the Morris G Somerset
Electric Company.

Peter V. Stryker has resigned as
secretary and manager of the Morris
& Somerset Electric Co. Mr.. Stryker
declined to give his reasons for re-
signing nor would he say just what
he intended to do in a business way.
1t is reported that his resignation
came as the result of a contract said
to have been made recently with the
firm of Lenz & Mollay, engineers, of
New York.
These engineers, it is said are to
be paid ten per cent. of the cost of
all work done by the company and
all supplies purchased and in return
are to manage and supervise the af-
fairs of the company.
The contract with the Sheehan com
pany expires in August and at that
time, it is asserted, these engineers
will assume full charge of the affairs
of the company.
That this proposition is not looked
upon favorably by all of the board
of directors is evidenced by the
resignation of two members of the
board.
Eugene Trocaz, bookkeeper, has
also resigned, and has secured a
position in New York

the horses back and jumped off the
wagon Saturday afternoon the horse
started on run down SpeedweH av-

game with the Orange B. BIC Such
a clean slate was too much for Um-
pire Bradley, however, and just to
show the fans that miscues could be
made, he made a pair of decisions in
the ninth inning that will go down in
Morristown baseball history as two of
the rankest perpetrated.
Morristown should have won the
game but lost it, thanks to Mr. Brad
ley, by score of two to one. Lacey
pitched superb ball, had perfect con-
troll and the Orange lads swung wild
ly Morristown got its tally in the
third inning, a single by Maloney and
double by West turning the trick.
In the ninth Orange started a rally.
Kistler, who by the way is some pit
cher, led off with single. BilloW
popped to Lacey and Finnegan famed.
Parker then lifted a fly into right
field that is asserted to have fallen
foul by at least two feet. But Brad
ley, without taking run to base line,
called it fair. Dempsey retrieved the
ball, and threw to the plate to head
off Kistler and had his man but the
runner ran around Buster Sturgls
and came in behind the plate and IN
reaching it had to upset Bradley
But the umpire called him safe de-
spite his running way outside the
base line.

the Morris County Traction Co. was
brought up. Town Counsel Reed said
that it was Unnecessary because the
bond provided that Speedwell avenue
should be macadamized and as it was
to be otherwise paved the bond was
OF no value. But the aldermen de-
cided to renew the bond anyway.
The street committee was author

ward the acceptance of Budd street
and Malcolm street by the town.

the town for the Memorial day OBJ
servance.

mer was referred to the finance com
mittee and that body recommended
the same appropriation as last year,

ing paid for the lamp himself since
it was put in.

Alderman Conkling, of the police
committee, said that the terms of the

that when the next checks are issued

CONDITIONS GENERALLY GOOD
The Morris County Institutions Could
Be improved.

At the meeting of the Morris coun-
ty Branch of the State Charities Aid
association held last week Wednesday
a number of important matters were
discussed
A letter from State Secretary
Byers was read in which he stated
it was copy of a communication he
had sent the board of freeholders
after his visit to the county Jail on
March 16 The letter told of the inn
provements needed as he had pre-
sented them to the meeting of the
association following his visit. Mr.,
Byers urged that qualified nurse
be hired to keep the house in proper
order and so that the tuberculosis
patients could be properly cared for
He wrote that so far he had received
no answer fromytheA board.
Mrs w. w. Barker read the re-
port of the visiting committee to the
Aims house. 1t said that the insti-
tuition was visited on April 21st and
everything was found in the usual
good condition There are only two
able bodied women in the place to do
work. All together there are fifty
men, twenty-one women and three
children. The report stated that the
men should be given employment to
develop their muscles and long walks
should be taken. The motto ought
to be IF man will not work, neither
shall he eat
Mrs. COLES told of a special visit
She had made. She said she found
it was quite evident that there was
intercourse between the men and
women inmates. There should be
separate houses, She declared.
She continued, stating that the COCK
was not fit for work for special rea-
sons. There is a waitress who waits
on the men, which, she asserted, was
violating the law.
Mr.. Ironside stated that the Aims
house, as it is, is fairly good and it
would be almost impossible to have
new one built. 1T is looked upon,
he said, "as model by the smaller
counties
He also said that the freeholders
have been asked before for separate
shacks for the tuberculosis patients.
but nothing has been done.
A vote of thanks was extended the
Young Peoples societies for holding
services ON Sunday at the Aims house
Mr.. Taylor, of the county Jail COM
mittee, reported there were only II
the jail. This is an unusually small
number. He stated that Probation
Officer Edward Byram had Al person
in his charge, all of whom were re-
ported as doing we'll
The matter of children attending
motion picture shows was taken up,
and referred to the executive COM
mittee.
Mr. Craig reported favorably on
the Childrens home. There are "A
in that institution and none sick.
They are having a good time, he said,
and are learning to do the cleaning.
Mrs COLES read an article on the
work of the last legislature by which
many laws for the improvement of
the State were passed. She reported
q balance on hand of $90.06
She introduced an amendment to
the constitution in regard to the mem
bership. When a member is in ar
rears for dues for 2 years the name
is dropped from the roll, but the per-
son can be reelected to membership.
The number of homeless men was
said to be less this year than in the
last two wears

Power Plant Shut Down.

For the first time since it was
erected twenty months ago, the power
plant of the Morris County Traction
Co. was shut down Thursday. Trouble
was located in the pumping system
at the plant and to avoid an accident
the generators were shut down for
about two hours. Cars were stalled
all along the line

The game with the All Manhattans
proved a disappointment so far as
Walter Swenson was concerned for
the blonde haired hurler was derricked
after he had yielded three runs in
the third inning Morristown won
the game by a score of eight to seven.
Eddie" Welsh went on the mound
after Swenson's demise and pitched
great ball.
The locals got six runs in the sec
ond session, Markey started it by get
ting a life on an error, Lacey famed
but Ahles drew a pass. Swenson
singled and Doyle did likewise. Mar
key romped home but Ahles was
turned back at the plate. Maloney got
on when Ford dropped his fly, Mike
scoring. West drew pass after Ma
loney had purloined second. Hillock
poked out base hit that put Maloney
across the pan and then stole second.
Schmidt, the New York pitcher, then
uncorked a wild pitch that permitted
West and Hillock to tally. Lyons
ended the inning by tanning.
The visitors came right back in the
next inning and evened the score
Four passes, three hits, wild pitch,
a passed ball. some base stealing and
a brace of errors furnishing the
motive power.
Doyle started a rally in the seventh
that put the game on ice for Morris
town. He hit for base, Maloney
walked. Doyle scored on Cross wild
heave to get Maloney at second and
the latter on Vests three bagger,
came in.
The visitors got to Welsh for two
bagger and single in the eighth,
netting them one run.
Umpire Bradley again pulled some
poor decisions, this time in favor of
Morristown. Lacey was out at first
in the sixth but Bradley called him
safe but Captain Mike" Doyle had
