HILL IMPROvERS
CLAMOR FOR LIGHT
Springfield Avenue Merchants
Insist They Are Entitled to
"Great White Way"

The main topic of discussion at a
well-attended meeting of the Spring
field Avenue Improvement Associa-
ton, at Krueger's Auditorium, last
night, was the creating of a Great
White Way" on Springfield avenue
Committees were appointed to go
before the Board Of Works In relation
to the Improvement of the lighting
and traffic facilities on the avenue.
The merchants feel that, although
there is more business on Springfield
avenue at night than on any other
thoroughfare in the city, the avenue
is no better lighted, after the stores
are closed, than streets on the ut
skirts of the city. Another reason
which the members of the association
give for better lights is that at night
many patrons of the downtown thea
tres and halls on the Hill" section
traverse Springfield avenue on the
way to their homes.
The committee on traffic affairs will
also go before the Board of Works
and demand immediate improvement
In the condition of the pavement
along the avenue.
When asked as to who was to bear
the cost Of the proposed lights. DR..
Joseph Kussy, the president Of the
association, said: I'VE do not ask for
more lights than are on the avenue
at present, but we do want a better
grade of flaming arc lights, such as
are on Broad and Market streets.
We feel that the city should install
and maintain the lights without
charge to the merchants and prop
erty-owners."
There will be a special meeting of
the association on December 1, at
which the prizes offered by the mer-
chants in the slogan contest will be
awarded.
The committee in charge of the
lighting are as follows: David
Strauss. chairman. Henry Aurnham-
mer, Alfred Popik. John M. Lederer,
Harry H. Greenbaum. The traffic
committee are Aaron Lang, chair
man; John C. Eisele, George C. Busch
and Meyer Kussy.

COAL COMPANY CLEARED
OF SHORT WEIGHT CHARGE
Lay Blame on Agent Named
Green.

The case against the East Side
Coal Company, Incorporated, of 1O5
Barclay street, charged by the sealer
Of weights and measures of Newark
with selling short weights of coal,
was dismissed today by Judge Hahn
in the First Criminal Court.
The corporation was represented by
Samuel Silverman, its secretary, who
testified that the bags Of Goa which
we're purchased by inspectors and
which bore the company's name were
not sold by him, but were sold by a
MI. Green. He testified that the COM
pany's name was used on the bags for
advertising purposes, as the company
sold coal in quantities not less than
a ton.
This evidence could not be refuted
by the prosecution, hence the dismiss
sal of the case. The driver of the
wagon from whom the coal was
bought will be compelled to tell who
Mr.. Green is and If his identity is
ascertained he will be made to an
swer the charge.

HITS TRAIL TO NEWARK
ON HIKE AROUND WORLD
Holland Soldier, ST Wide Elk.
perience. Pays City Visit.

Lieutenant Herbert v. Nordwell, Of
Amsterdam, Holland, who walks
around the world for experience, edu-
cation and exercise. will drop in on
Acting Mayor Donnelly this afternoon
TO be handed the key to Newark, so
to speak.
The lieutenant has just finished a
tramp around the world, and since
coming to this city Tuesday mas been
spending his time regretting that he'll
probably find himself out of a job
until means of communication Is es-
tablished with the nearby planets,
which may need a capable little pedes-
trian to wear off their rough edges.
This is no hobo trip the lieutenant
is taking. He himself is a well set up,
intelligent young man, who gives lee
lures and writes pieces for the papers
while resting his legs, and he carries
a courier and advance agent to draw
the people to those lectures and get
those pieces in the papers.
The lieutenant hasn't seen his folks
since February %. 1907. He's been
averaging thirty miles a day since
then, over highways and the byways,
especially the former, and has picked
up a little collection of clippings, a
coat of tan, a batch of photographs
and a little more experience and edu-
cation than he hoped for.
Among other things the lieutenant
is a penman-makes hourishes and
draws floral wreaths and doves
around names and such like.

PHONE USED AS
LURE IN ARREST
Man Accused of White Slavery
Completely Nabbed by De-
tectives' Clever Ruse.

Through a clever ruse employee by
two local detectives the last of an al
legged gang of white slavers is now IN
the county Jail with two other al
legged members of the gang awaiting
trial on December 8.
The charge of white slavery against
three young men followed an investl-
CATION and arrests made by Sergeant
Kull and Plainclothesman Brex, cf
the Third precinct, last August. AT
that time they found Margaret DENT,
a 1~5-year-old girl who had been re-
rorted missing from her home, 4s
Garrison street, by her mother, living
in a house at $40 Adams street.
Upon her story the arrest of Dom
mick Cesare, 20 years old, and George
Troiano, 10 years old, was made.
The third man implicated by the
girl, Thomas Lombardo, 10, of Boz
Chestnut street, escaped and fled
from the city. Prosecutors Detec-
tive Meyer found out that telephone
calls to the missing man were being
made to a number in Hackensack.
Late yesterday brex, at the re-
quest of the prosecutors office, jour
neyed to ackensack, with Detective
Meyer. The telephone number was
that of a small store at $50 High
street, that place. Deducing that the
store-keeper would call Lombardo, II
a telephone call came for him, Brex
called up the store, while Meyer hid
in a doorway.
Hello, I'd like to speak to Tom
This is his father" said Brex. Meyer
noted the store-keeper leave the
store and return with the quarry
Brex hung up the telephone and both
sleuths rushed across the street and
nabbed the man.
Lombardo broke down and ad-
mitted his guilt, the police say.
The girl is now in the House OF
Detention.
