COPS PLEDGED TO
LOVE ONE ANOTHER
Village Police Cement Friend
ship by Presenting Shield
to Marshal.

Peace again reigns in the South Or
ange village police department. The
flag of truce was raised last night,
and thereby ends for all time, so the
village b~luecoats say, the d~issensions
which for a long time have had a
firm grip on the department. There
are to be no more eliques, no nor
~"dogging" or ~squealing within the
ranks. Every member is pledged to
simply love every other one.
The end to all chickering's and petty
~jealousles, etc, came last night, when
the fifteen members of the depart
ment gathered about their head, Mar
shall Thomas F. Mcguire, presented
him with a solid-gold shield. a token
to make known the loyalty which
they hereafter intend to hold toward
him.
The presentation of the badge was
made by Edwin A. Marks, chairman
of the village police committee, who
congratulated the finest" for the de-
cision which they have finally de-
cided upon. He said that he hoped
the policemen would always be as
loyal. to their chief as they seemed
at the gathering.
The presentation last night was a
complete surprise on Marshal Ma
guife, who only recently completed
his sixteenth year of service in the
department. He has been marshal
for five years.
1t had been the belief of some of
the policemen, it is said, that some
were thought more of by the chief
than others. That feeling, however,
has been worn off. the chief having
proven that he has no f~avorites.

MAN TO EXPLAIN
Investigations to Be Made as
Result of Fight in Bar
room on Sunday.

James Hamilton, who conducts a
saloon at 111s Harrison avenue,
Kearny, will, according t 0 a state
ment made by Councilman Walter r,

faced Police Recorder Leonard A.
| WINNER.
The heads of Stephen Sowillo and
Chamineky were swathed in band
ages. Both had been stabbed. Cham
insky declared stephen Sowillo and
Radinsky had attacked him. He did
not know which one cut him, he said.
He could not identify Tony Sowiilo
as one of his assailants. Accordingly
the last-named was discharged.
Recorder WINNER placed Radinsky
and Stephen Sowillo under $500 each
for the action of the grand Jury.
Stephen Sowi1lo preferred a counter
charge against Chaminsky, and the
latter was also placed under $500 bail.
Mayor Louis M. Brock and Council
man Walter R. Chapman took an act
i've part in the proceedings. They
heard the men say they had drunk in
Hamilton's saloon and that the fight
started there. Mrs. Hamilton, who
was in charge of the saloon on Sum
day, had been served with a subpoena
by Chief of Police Tolen. She was In
court and admitted the MN were IN
the saloon and the quarrel started
there. She later said SHE had refused
to sell them drinks.
