FIREMAN HURLED FROM
ARLINGTON HOSE CART

Thrown from the apparatus of
Arlington Hose Company No. 3,
David HEM, a fireman, yesterday
had a narrow escape from injury.
The wagon was returning to head
quarters after having answered an
alarm at Laurel avenue and Devon
street, Arlington. AT Kearny and
Columbia avenues the vehicle struck
a rut and HEM was hurled to the
street. He just missed striking the
curbstone.
Picking himself up Hem brushed
the dust from his clothing, and after
a chase caught the apparatus. The
alarm had been turned in by John
Margetts, of POI Beech street, Airing
ton. Margetts had started a fire in
the furnace and the steam valves, it
appears, we're loose and allowed too
much steam to escape, hence the
alarm.

POLICE JUDGE MAY
Be NAMED TODAY
Governor Asked by Committee
of Patrolmen to Defer
Appointment.

3 Governor Wilson, 1t is expected,
will today announce the appointment
of a successor to Joseph Il. BRAY,
who recently resigned as police judge
of Orange. Mr.. Bray's resignation,
which was Submitted some time ago
because of i~ll-healtb, will take effect
tomorrow.
There. are several candidates for
the place. the most prominent beinl
Voting Judge Augustus w. Abbott,
who Is making a regular campaign.
Tho aid of the patrolmen has been
solicited in his behalf, and IL was
learned today that a dispatch was
sent to the governor yesterday re-
questing that he defer his appoint
nlent for several days yet. This de-
lay, 1t Is said, is to enable the Alb
bott supporters to circulate a petit
ton in his behalf among the. MEM
bers of the police force.
Efforts were made also to interest
the police commissioners in Ahbott'F
behalf. but this movement fell fiat
when ono of the commissioners re.
fused to sign the petition presented
to him.
Mr.. Abbott. who has been acting
judge since the retirement of Judge
Bray. has for some time been agent
for the Children's Aid Society for the
Oranges at a salary of $t,5o0 a year.
The position of police Judge would in
no wise interfere, so he says, with his
position as agent. The judgeshlp pays
81. 200 a year. Despite his strenuous
campaign, however, 1t is the consen.
u of opinion that Mr.. Abbott will
be relieved of his present duties In
the police court.
This is one of tho few police judge
ships in which the governor has the
power to appoint. 1t is thought that
he will select a. lawyer for the place.
Other prominent candidates are
Edward l.. Davis and John O'Hagan,
both members Of the bar, and Edward
Woodman. a layman. who has beer
Endorsed for the place by the Wood
row Wilson League.

STOCK EXCHANGE BLAMED
FOR GAMBLING BY PASTOR
In Its Power to Stop Evil, Says
Rev. Mr.. Roeder.

That the members of the stock ex-
change are responsible for the gam
bling on Wall Street is the opinion of
the Rev Adolph Roeder, president of
the New Jersey Civic Association, as
embodied in his sermon at New
Church, Orange, yesterday.
Mr.. Roeder declared that the num-
Der Of dishonest men among the
stock brokers was nc greater than
among common whist players. He dfs
claimed the assumption that every
stock broker or bondsman was dis
honest, but asserted that legislation
should be provided for the protection
of honest men.
He spoke in part as follows:
"Sinc the Stock Exchange can make
rules for the rejection or admission
of members, knows more about the
handling of stocks than others and is
shrewd enough to wink at dishonesty
marked cards and loaded dice in stock
gambling, 1t is therefore shrewd
enough to make laws, rules and regu-
lations for the maintenance of hon
esty."

BIG SAVING IN FUEL
IMPROVEMENTS At THE STATE
SCHOOL At BEATRICE.
GOSSIP FROM STATE CAPITAL
Items Of Interest Gathered from Re.
liable Sources and Presented In
Condensed Form to Our
Readers.

Extensive improvements which have
been in the course Of construction all
summer at the state institution for
feeble minded at Beatrice are nearing
completion. Il. J. Schurig, consulting
engineer for the state work, says that
the state will be able to make q big
saving in fuel cost. Last January the
coal bill for the institution was $3,250.
The heating plant was old and had
been carelessly patched and tinkered
with until it was at low point of cf-
tciency. There were many breaks in
the big pipe lines in the tunnels.
Great quantities of coal had to be
burned before any results could be
secured, and the system was alto
gether wasteful and extravagant
During the past summer the heating
system was thoroughly overhauled
and rebuilt The cost of the work was
about $4,000, and Mr.. Schurlg esti.
mates that this amount will all be
made up in savings of fuel cost for tho
coming winter.

Fire commisslon ner's Rival.

An old soldier of Lincoln, william
Orr by name, ia a rival Of State Fire
Commissioner G. A. Randall and fol.
lowing each and every fire in the
state takes fully as great an interest
In the affair as does the state official.
Randall gets his pay from the insur.
ance companies. spends what he wants
to and turns the remainder over to
the state. Orr gets nothing unless
those to whom he writes desire to
know the origin OF all fire and the
secret of that agency. The latter's
usual charge is SIS for the secret.
Sometimes it is paid and sometimes
1t is not. Usually the letters are for
warded to the state department and
the matter ends there. Mr.. Orr does
not believe that many fires are the
acts of incendiaries and for the sum
mentioned he promises to disclose the
real cause.
