Desiring to cooperate with the
board of education in its effort to

SpedeWeIl Avenue.
Glass Day Exercises.

Glass day exercises. were held in
the chapel of the Maple avenue build
ing Wednesday evening. The pro-
gram began with an address of well
come by the class president, Paul
Freeman. A very clever conception
was the portrayal of the history of
the class in a "ghost" scene. The
class will was read by John Monteith
in the presence of the mourners, the
latter being the under classmen. In
stead of the usual prophesy there was
representation of the editorial room
of the ''Mpale Leaf showing the edi-
tor at work on the paper. Both edi-
tors and reporters helped to enliven
the proceedings. The singing of the
class song and the class yells closed
the entertainment after refreshments
had been served.

country can have the benefit of his
experience, for he is great man
and a great lawyer" He also gave

We're turned back from the plate un-
til the last inning when Musler hit
one to West that was too hot to
handle. Musler stole second and
scored when Ahles threw to center
field to catch him at the midway
sack.
Morristown had an easy time of it
with Fishers offerings, getting ten

and errors by Beeger and Rau. Gro

A SAFE FOURTH
FOR MORRISTOWN
Ordinance ProvidesfOr Size and
Handling Of Fireworks.

Though Morristown has not yet
adopted the "safe and sane" Fourth
OF July idea, doing away with the use
OF noisemakers of all kinds, the al
dermen have put III force I'm ordi-
nance placing restrictions on the size
and sale of the explosives used for
celebrating.
A permit for the storage and sale Of
fireworks, gunpowder and ammunition
must be obtained from the chief en-
gineer of the fire department, the
sum Of two dollars being paid as a
fee. The applicant must sign a prom
ise to abide by the rules and reguIa-
tions of the ordinance.
No paper balloons containing para
fine-soaked excelsior, or similar in
flammable material, no cannon cracker
larger than four inches in length and
seven-eighths of an inch in diameter
and no fireworks of any description
containing dynamite or picric acid
shall be sold or kept in stock. No
blank cartridge pistol shall be sold
or kept in stock. No pistol or fire
arm of any description shall be sold
to person under fifteen years of age
No fireworks shall be sold or dis
played from any stand outside the
walls of the building for which the
permit is granted Smoking shall not
be permitted and signs with letters
at least four inches in height shall
warn customers OF the edict No
matches other than safety matches
shall be kept in stock or given away
In any place where fireworks are on
sale.
Three pals of water or fire ex-
tinguisher of kind approved by the
chief engineer shall be kept conven-
lent for quick use in case of fire.
Fire works in retail quantities must
not be kept in stock prior to June
18th nor later than July 10th. No fire
works shall be sold at retail prior
to June Goth. The chief engineer
can refuse permit to place he
considers extra hazardous. Failure
to comply with the ordinance shall
forfeit the permit.
Any person or persons who shall
violate any of the provisions of the
ordinance shall upon conviction pay
fine of not less than ten dollars
nor more than twenty-five dollars for
each offense. 1t is the duty of the
chief engineer to see that the ordi-
nance is enforced and of the police
to report any infractions of the ordi-
nance that may come to their knowl-
edge to the chief engineer.
Chief Day has already received one
or two applications for permits. For
mer Chief Trowbridge, it is thought,
may be placed in an embarrassing
position owing to his fight for the
place now held by Chief Day. If he
takes the position that he is the real
chief and issues himself a permit to
sell fireworks he may be liable to
prosecution under the ordinance and
IL he applies to Chief Day for a per
nit he may place himself in theposi-
tion of admitting Chief Days right to
the office.

HOLD PAINTERS RESPONSIBLE
Fire That Damaged Sussex Avenue
House Laid to careIessness.

Careless use of gasoline torches
by painters burning off the paint of
the house No. IL Sussex avenue is
believed to have started the fire that
damaged the building to the extent
of $1,000 Wednesday noon. The owner
Nicholas Marinaro, engaged Newark
firm to repaint the dwelling and the
occupants of the house, Edward B.
Stansbury and William H. Hendrick-
son, both colored, had complained
several times about the way the work
of removing the old paint was done.
When the fire was discovered it was
in the front of the house under the
piazza roof and spread quickly be-
tween the weatherboards and the
plaster to the roof. Chief Day found
the blaze to be beyond the ability of
chemical streams to extinguish and
ordered steamer streams on the build
ing. The fire was quickly extin-
guished but the tenants suffered losses
of $500 each from the water to their
furnishings.
