Hahn asked why she had made the
complaint, and she declared she was
advised to do so by her husband. At
torney for Croll declared to the court
that the complaint was a false one,
and that it was part of a scheme to
get revenge because the husband of
the complainant had been discharged.
Judge Hahn then declared that the
arrest was most outrageous. and fur

plants came from his justice. Croll

October y.

Curtis r.. Burnett. president of the
Newark Board of Trade. this after

had been received from members to
insure the success of the boards in

be made on October %. The delegation

Iouis. Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, In
dianapolis and Buffalo, will represent
the largest commercial interests of
Newark. Several heads of these con
Germs have already signified their in
tention of making the trip or sending
a representative.
Judging from the numerous COM
m%unications from other cities concern

est on all sides. The success of the
project is assured, as far as volunteer
delegates are concerned. James Nj.
Reilly, secretary Of the board, declares
that 10 per cent of members have al
ready sanctioned the plan and applica-
lions for places on the delegation are
coming in continually.
According to President Burnett the
excursion will not be held for amuse-
ment. and several of the men who have
announced they are going are among
Newark's busiest merchants. The OBJ
iect of the trip, that of investigating
municipal government and conditions,
terminal and shipping facilities and
other matters In the cities, will receive
the bulk of the delegations attention.

will return to this city Sunday evening,

PATERSON SUBURBS ASK
TO JOIN SEWER PACT,

Three more municipalities not orig
inally figured On IN the estimtes
for the Passaic Valley trunk sewer
are negotiating for a share in
the big flume. They are suburbs
Of Paterson. and through Mayor
Mcbride, of that city, they have asked
to be considered in the negotiations.
The three towns are Totowa Borough,
Haledon and Prospect Park Borough.
Mr.. Mcbride. in discussing the affair
informally with the mayors of the three
municipalities, told them the only way
they could enter would be to incor-
porate with Paterson. Although the
sentiment for annexation is not strong,
the chance of having a share in the
trunk sewer may influence the resi-
dents of the three %boroughs.
