were responsible for the cleanup day
campaign in the State, and it was re-
solved to have East orange residents

questioned the woman closely and said
the ceremony might have been per-
formed by a bogus peace Justice, but
ruled that as long as she was unable
to produce papers showing the cere-
mony was performed he could not
legally recognize the marriage. He
gave a verdict for the plaintiff.
Mayor Seymour was the attorney for
the plaintiff and Edward Davis for the
defendant. Mr.. Davis, In his summing
up, told that he had tried to learn if
the marriage had taken place and said

when he took the place. City Counse
Lord has determined the salary ques-
ton goes back to the resolution passed
some years age naming s1.100 as the
salary. The resolution fixing the pay
for the position during Wilkinson's in
cumbeney. directed the payment of the
advance of 800 to Walter Wilkinson.
not TO the assistant water clerk, and
with the termination of Wilkinson's
term the salary automatically and
legally swings back to the lesser
mount.
Former Councilman William A. Cal
houn. counsel to Coleman, has raised
the point hat existing laws provide for
the Common Councils exclusive right
to employ all men in the water depart
ment and fix their compensation. and
he maintains that prevents the mayor
from exercising a veto prerogative. Mr..
Lord, however, takes issue with that
attitude n insists the mayor has act
ed entirely within his rights in vetoing
the resolution fixing the larger pay.

GLEN RIDGE YOUTH WINS
AT "EXPURGATED" ELECTION

MADISON, Wis, March 2S.-That
"~expurgated" politics, and the vote
of Wisconsin have come to stay was
proven at the recent election of upper
classes, when robert p. Butler, of Glen
Ridge, N. J., one of the leaders in the
agitation for the new system, was
elected president of the sophomore
class.
The new system introduced by the
election committee, of which Butler
was a member, provides for the elimi-
nation of promiseuous advertising on
the part of candidates, except in
voters guide-boo's prepared by the
conference election committee: pro-
hibits campaigning in the polling
place and provides for one election
day, on which the three upper classes
all select their officers.
The recent election, the first under
the new system, proved the success of
''expurgated politics. and the vote
totaled LOO, the highest eve polled at
a student election.

EAST ORANGE CROSSING
MAY BE FIRST TO Go.

That the junction crossing in Main
street, East Orange, considered one of
the most dangerous grade crossings in
the State. will be the first to be elimi-
mated on the Lackawanna railroad
through the terms of the new bill
passed yesterday by the Legislature, is
the belief of Mayor Gregory, who has
been active in securing legislation for
the Mayors Association.
Mayor Gregory believes the new law
takes no rights away from the railroad
companies. but expedites the removal
of the grade crossings through the in
strumentality of the Public Utilities
Commission, instead of having the at
tcrney-general lring suit.
'"The fight, however, is not over yet"
he continued. Tn my judgment. the
elevation of tracks in East Orange
would result in serious and i~rreparable
injury, and it remains for us now to
see that when the grade crossings are
8, minated it is by depression.

No trace has been had by detectives
conducting a search for Whitney Rtt-
tenhouse, of Linden place, Orange, who
is accused of having forged a check for
$50 on the West Orange National Bank

10 years old, and was employed until
two weeks ago, when he lost his posi-
tic in a New York department store.

Charles CABOT. grandfather of the
young man.
Rittenhouse presented the check at
the bank and was refused the money
by the cashier, who did not know him.
Miss Helen Brands identified the lad
and Endorsed the check, thinking she
was merely certifying to the identifica-
ton. Mr.. Cadot refused to make the
check good, and the bank has asked

WANTED TO FINISH THE Job
Pride in His Work, Not Tender Heart,
Was What Induced the Chauffeur
to Return.

They were going along the public
highway at leisurely rate of forty
miles per hour, when a decrepit hen
and rooster started to do the chicken
special-cross the road.
The front and hind wheels on the
right side struck the poor, old. stiff-
jointed rooster amidships, and with
one 'squawk he suecumbed.
immediately the man at the steering
wheel started to- slow down and to
look about for place 20 turn.
His solicitous wife turned to her
seatmate and said:
isn't that just like his tender heart?
He won't be satisfied unless he goes
back ana settles for. that rooster. He
Just can't bear to feel he has injured
anyone or anything"
Then louder, to her husband, she
said: George, remember that ap-
pointment. We haven't any time TO
go back fer anything"
CHANGING at the clock near his feet
and at the speedometer near by, he
sighed and said:
You're right, Jennie; but | Just
know if 7 had turned back l could
have killed that old hen Just as easy
as did the rooster Judge.
