Famous New York Divin2
Addresses Montclair Unity
Church on Revolution

Unity Church, Montclair, was filed
to the doors last night to hear the
Rev. John Haynes Holmes, pastor of
the Church of the Messiah. New York
city, speak on THE Revolutionary
Function of the Modern Church." 1t
was the eighth meeting of Unity,
course in the Problems of Today"
After stating hat the subject of
his discourse was very near to his
heart. he said in part:
This church and ell other Christian
churches are facing a great crisis; 1t
is face to face with the problem of
revolution. not of obstruction, not as an
enemy of organized society. but of
method and an end. I believe not in
the method, but I do believe in the
end"
"Dr. Holt, a noted physician, says
If you tell me how much the child's
father earns in wages / will tell you
what chance the child has for life.' In
the higher classes of society the death
rate in cities is 10 per cent; in the
middle classes, 20 per cent, and in the
slums. 80 per cent. The distribution
Of the hundreds of thousands of gal
Ions of certified milk every year is no
good unless you go behind the children
and change the tenements in which they
live. You are keeping the lower east
side from being channels, but are not
decreasing the death rate. That Is the
declaration Of a noted physician.
"If the SON and daughters of men
can get good, fresh air, free sunlight
and pure food, tuberculosis car be
wiped out in ten years. Society Is
manufacturing disease so fast that
there are not physicians enough to at
tend the patients. All men and ONE
must be treated as brothers and sisters,
and not as slaves.

SCHOOL ELECTION
IS EXPECTED To
Be COMPLICATED
Small Board Proposition Causes
Peculiar Situation in
NutIey.

The annual school meeting to be held
on Tuesday evening, March Il, at the
Park School. Nutley. promises to be the
most interesting and complicated event
in the school history of the town.
While the campaign is being made TO
reduce the membership of the board
from min to five, there are seven can
didates for membership on the board,
four of whom are being backed by
those in favor of "a smaller Board OF
Education.
The outgoing members, Richard w.
Booth, who has been connected with
school matters for more than twenty
years; Frank T. Sheperd and ]. M.
Salter, are again In the field. On the
other hand, the Second Ward Associa-
ton and the Third Ward Association,
which are advocating the reduction OF
the board, have Endorsed William Har-
ris Arnold a former member of the
board; William ]. Kinsly and w.
Hinckley Mitchell.
lust what course will be followed
at the meeting in arriving at a salts
factory result is not as yet outlined.
although it has been suggested that
the ballots cast for reducing the size
OF the board be counted first, and IL
the result Is in favor Of the smaller
board the ballots cast for the candi-
dates are not to be counted. Otherwise
the counting of the ballots for the can
didates will be proceeded with.
Thus far there is M certainty of the
ballots being EAST for the proposed re-
duction. Both sides are eve ready to
quote statistics, showing the efficacy
of both the larger and smaller boards.
Several who signed the petition to have
the board submit the question to the
voters at the annual meeting have said
they did so not because they favored
the reduction, but to give the citizens
an opportunity to express their views
and thereby settle the question, once
and for all time.

DEMOCRATS COME
OUT IN FAVOR Of
DISTRICT COURT
Kearny Association Unanimous.
ly Declares for Bill Providing
for West Hudson Tribunal.

Taking issue with the Harrison ON.
mon Council, which last week de-
nounced the bill, House No. IL, de.
signed to establish a district court In
the West Hudson towns, the kearny
Democratic Association on
night again declared In favor of the
measure ana unanimously resolved to
write to State Senator James +.
Fielder. of Hudson county, and ask
him to do his utmost to get h bill
through the upper branch Of the Legis-
lature. An appeal will also be made to
the judiciary committee.
Answering some of the objections
made to the bill, the members of the
association say that it Is Endorsed by
the seventeen lawyers who live In the
West Hudson towns, and they in turn
say hat their clients approve of h
Setting up of such a court to spare
them the loss of time of going with
their witnesses to Jersey City. five
miles distant. 1t was argued that h
service given by the average justice OF
the peace has not always been salts
factory, the lack of legal training I'M
fitting them for the task of adjudicat-
ing anything more than the simplest
cases. The new court would not de-
prive them of all their business. but
would relieve the Justices of the larger
actions at law.
1t is contended. too, by the advo-
Gates of the bill that the creation of a
district court, the second in the county.
would give the towns of Kearny and
Harrison and the borough of East
Newark a prestige ind distinction that
would benefit them. The West Hudson
section is growing, too, they declare,
and the need of some such tribunal
will soon be very urgently felt. So far
as the cost to the taxpayers js cen
cerned, hat objection will be OVER

salary of a judge. 5000 salary of a.clerk,

AMPUTATED
AFTER SIEGE OF
MANY AILMENTS
Newman, South Orange
Athlete, Underg0es Pain
full Ordeal.

To have one of his feet removed to
prevent blood poison spreading through
his system before he had fully recov-
cred from an attack of pneumonia,
which was preceded by a three months
siege of typhoid fever, is the sad fate
of Andrew Newman, "a years old. OF
Jefferson avenue, Maplewood section
OF South Orange.
The young mans left foot was sew
cred today by Drs. Harvey and Hunt
in the Orange Memorial Hospital, as
the. only means of saving the young
mans life. The operation was per-
formed just below the instep.
Why the gangrine should set in has
been a puzzle to the physicians at the
institution, and their only solution is
that the last of the long siege of Ill
ness settled in the extreme end of the
limb.
Newman was first stricken last fall,
and DR.. Briscoe B. Ransom was called.
The physician ordered him removed to
the hospital and it developed that he
had contracted typhoid fever. A week
later his mother, Mrs. Mary Newman
was taken to the same institution wftr
the same disease.
After both had fully recovered the
son had been out less than a month
when he was again stricken and taker
to the Orange hospital. He was or
the road to recovery when last Mon
day he told the physicians that his left
foot panied him. At the end of the
week they informed the mother thaI
har SOM font would bo ya ~ no Savr
cred In order to prevent the spread Of
blood poison. The foot caused the
youth intense pain during the week
and yesterday he told his mother thaf
he was satisfied to have the member
removed.
Newman was an athlete. He weighed
1872 pounds when he was taken Ill tn,
last time. He was a popular member
of the South Orange Athletic Clut
baseball team.

FROM RANKS Of
POLITICAL PARTIES
Citizens and Peoples Factions
in South Orange Suffer
from Changes.

With the Citizens and Peoples par
ties in South Orange beginning to
shape up for their annual battle to be
settled at the polls April rs, and with
control of the village government as
the prize for victory, many changes are
to be noticed this year in the general
ship as we'll as the rank and file of
the an~tagonisists.
Men who have been among the top
notch leaders in both parties have
either changed politics or dropped out
of activity in politics altogether
through dissatisfaction. Notable
among the dissatisfied is Patrick Ash,
who for twelve years has been an ac-
tive leader in the Citizens party, and
who declares emphatically that he is
not a Citizens this year.
II will not vote for then nor work
for them" said Mr.. Ash, speaking of
the Citizens.
MI. Ash was a member of the cam
paign, nominating and executive com
mittees of the Citizens party last year,
The latter body, according to MI. Ash,
was composed Of twenty-five and was
named for the purpose of being con-
suited with by the Citizens trustees
when questions of Importance should
arise and in case of a vacancy &C.
curing in the village board. The party
in power had the authority to fill such
a place.
There were two chances for the mem
bers of the executive committee to be
conferred with during the past year,
Mr.. Ash contends, but in each instance
he and other members of the commit
tee were not consulted. The opportune
times, he says, were when Representa-
tive-elect Walter I. Mccoy resigned
from the village board and when the
citizens allowed the closing hour for
saloons to be left to a referendum. He
believes that newcomers into the vii
lage have too much to say in the affairs
Of the party, and predicts its downfall
this year. ,
George K. Badger, who was chairman
Of the nominating committee in the
Peoples party last year, said Saturday
that he will not be identified with any
party this yea because of the Inter
Church Civic League. which is nom
political, and will quiz the candidates
named by both parties before election.

LOCKS HIMSELF IN ROOM
AND FINDS HE'S PRISONER

Locking himself in a room in the
home of Mrs. F. Page, of Gregory ave-
nue., West Orange, Saturday, Charles
Weber, caretaker of the place, was
unable to open any of the doors from
the inside and began shouting and
kicking the doors. Attracted by the
mans shouts a woman passing the
house notified the police, and Police
man Bernard Heslin was sent to the
place, and was compelled to break
doH the door to let the man out.
Weber, who had locked one of the
vestibule doors, leaving the key on the
outside, then slammed another door
shut, failing to remember 1t was a
snap lock, and was caught in between
the locked doors, and was a prisoner
for three hours before a pedestrian
luckily passed his way. The house Is
on the m~ountainside. and there were
few travellers. and the caretaker, who
was airing the house, was fearful OF a
long stay in his narrow prison.
