MOORE GIVEN
DEPUTY FIRE
CHIEF BERTH
Will Succeed Sloan, Who Fills
Vacancy Caused by Ast-

At the meeting of the Fire Board this
afternoon Battalion Chief Paul J..
Moore was appointed deputy chief to
succeed Chief Joseph e. Sloan, who be-
came head of the department following
the death of william c. Ashley. Mr..
Moore's appointment was expected and
predicted by the Evening STAR.
For time thetre seemed to be some
doubt as to who would be put into the
high office, and NJ. p A. McDermitt's s
name loomed up as a strong possibil-
ity The fact, however, that Moore
was the highest man on the civil serv-
ice list certified to by the Civil Service
Commission. and the fact that Mayor
Haussling expressed himself as favor
ing the high man. left the commission
ers little else to do but name Moore.
Moore was the highest of the three
who took the examinations. His per-
centage was S7.64. McDermitts average
was 82,51 and John j. Lowery's 80 20.
Mr. Moore was born on August 5,
1868 He entered the fire department
November J. 1892, and was assigned TO

While it is admitted that great VIC
tory has been won for the people of
Newark, the technical and complicated
nature of the trolley war makes it
difficult TO arrive at the exact rela-

According to an attorney well versed

a complete vindication of the Public
Utilities Commission's order requiring
the so-called "retransfers'
His summary of the decision is prac-
tically this:
The Supreme Court upholds in all
points the validity of the order of the
Public Utilities Commission. That or
der calls for a transfer on a transfer

Commissioner Munglt has filed with

He alleges that the railroad company
has failed to give retransfers as re-

ed the use of transfers, and that II
has unlawfully made the farthest in
