Kitten Bent on Suicide
Dissuaded After Effort

out of the ar and joined the group ON

why, the cat is trying suicide as
sure as you're born said one observing
man, while the motorman ~viciously
heeled his gong again, inpatient at the
delays on a road already burdened with
Instructions to keep any sort of a
schedule, and folks homeward bound
craned their necks from the sides of
the open car, as the volunteer life
savers sought to dissuade pussy" from
carrying out her apparent intention to
end her existence.
The cat, again disturbed, u

and got in between the two car trucks,
and the now ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
motorman decided to go ahead after tho
seemingly long delay. The suicide
seemed an accomplished tragedy when
the cat stepped leisurely outside thu
danger zone and, alarmed at last at the
growing crowds, shot into an alley and
disappeared.

Roundsman Tim" Croner to a STAR

STRIKERS INDUCE
OTHER LABORERS
To JOIN RANKS
Police in the Oranges, Montclair
and Glen Ridge Watch for
TrOubIe-Man Arrested.

Invading South Orange village and
township yesterday. more than one
hundred striking iaborers from Orange
succeeded In having all local labor
cease. Trouble arose in some instances
and the usucl stone-throwing was re-
sumed. One man, Munciata Wartutci,
of Orange. who Is said to be one of the
leaders of the strikers in their fight for
an ei%ght-hour day, was arrested in the
township.
Wartutci, 1t is said, struck one of the
laborers who was employed in digging
n private sewer on the II. l.. Pierson
property. Valley street, Maplewood.
Three policemen, John McDonough,
Henry c. Cheshire and Arthur c. Boyle.
made the arrest.
The strikers made a search of the
township for laborers, and wherever
they found men at work had them join
in. Men at work on the r. C. Balch
property in Ridgewood road quit, as
did those digging sewer and water
trenches in the township.
Ludwig Bait and Richard H. Herman
were compelled to shut down their
stone quarries IN the mountain yes
terday. Bait, however, met the strik-
~ Hall way III lIelT ueIlldHuS lOudyt
n after offering them a nine-hour
day they accepted and returned TO
work. Herman. however refused to ac-
quiesce.
Arraigned before Township Police
Justice Robert ID. Brewer, Wartutci
was held in $500 bail to await the ac-
ton of the grand jury. The bail was
furnished by Annibale Bellefatto, of
Orange.
Substitute Negroes for Italians.
Substituting negroes for the striking
Italians in the stone quarries in West
Orange, the prominent contractors to-
day had several gangs of men put to
work, n while no demonstrations took
place trouble between the two nation
alities is feared.
Work was resumed at the Eagle Rock
quarry. as the contractors there OBJ
tanned the services of abdul twenty
men. who readily agreed to go to work
providing they received police protec-
ton. 1t was rumored today that seven
of the contractors on the mountain had
reached an agreement with the union
officials regarding the hours the men
were to work, but no definite agreement
could be arrived at concerning the adj
vance of wages. This rumor could not
be officially confirmed. however, but
significance was lent to the belief, as
it is said the laborers are feeling the
effects of the long lay-off and have
asked the unions officials to have them
return to work. Laborers who do ex-
cavation work approached their former
bosses in several localities in the city
today and were anxious to return to
jobs under the same scale they worked
formerly.
Predictions we're made at the unions
Headquarters in Cone street, Orange,
again today that a victory for them
is in sight.

ny, has beer offered twenty cents in
stamps for the return to a wealthy
resident of Orange of a pocketbook the
latter had lost containing $3.50 in cash,
about the same amoun in certified
checks, and some valuable documents.
Mr.. Arnot wen to work in the Edison
shops in Orange this week and found
the fat wallet on the street.
For two days he watched the lost
and found columns in the papers, but
as the owner of the wallet did not
spend anything for advertising MI. Ar
not concluded to write to the mar to
whose order the checks were drawn.
Today he got a reply thanking him
and inclosing the twenty cents worth
of stamps. Mr.. Arnot nearly tainted at
the writer's generosity, but he recog-
cred sufficiently to reply that what was
worth having was worth going after.

Lies on Orange Trolley Track
Before Car, Holding
Up Traffic.

What several reputable witnesses af-
firm was the deliberate attempt of a
pretty maltese kitten to effect a physi-
cal separation from it's nine apparently
impossible lives, attracted a crowd of
people to Main and Cone streets, Or
ange's southerly side of its -four cor
ners," last night. While a motorman
on a Valley-bound car changed his gong
impetuously to humor a group of ex-
cited citizens, who yelled to him not to
start his car, Tabby earnestly stretched
herself on the easterly rail of the sin
gle track road and ignored the warn
ings.
A citizen from the group of twenty
five women, men and children "shooed'
the kitten. which seemed to resent the
attention given. and after half a min
ute's delay slowly and deliberately
walled the few feet of cobblestone to
the other rail and promptly ~squatted
