LOCAL commuters
APPEAL TO BOARD
Want Tickets Between New
ark and Seashore
Points.

, Assemblyman Mortimer Lowry, coun-
sci for the Seashore Commuters
Club, together with several members
Of the club, appeared before the Pub
lie Utility Commission at the Court
House today to ask an order COM
pelling the Central Railroad of New
Jersey to sell monthly Communication
tickets between Newark and the sea-
shore points instead of selling tickets
from New York to those points, as
at present.
1t was pointed out by Mr.. Lowry that
the railroad company now sells sin
gle and round-trip tickets between
Newark and the shore points, but
that when Communication tickets are
sought they read from New York to
the shore instead of from Newark.
The rate from New York to the shore
and from Newark to the same point
is said to be the same, but the club
members and other commuters be-
heve that tickets should read from
here and not from New York, as by
travelling on tickets reading from
New York the commuters come I'M
der the head of interstate travellers.
Another matter before the Utility
Commission was the appeal of P. d.
Adams, of Allendale, that the New
York Telephone Company be re
CURED to furnish him telephone Serv-
ice at his home in Allendale. He said
that although he had made the
proper application the company had
refused to furnish the service al
though his neighbors on either side
of his house had telephone service.
He declared this was unjust dis
elimination and that it was due to
the fact that the telephone company
and the borough of A~llendale wers
at loggerheads owe the franchise
right desired by the company.
At present the Allendale territory
is served from the Ridgewood ex-
change. Mr.. Adams stated that the
company told him they would not
install any more telephones in Allen
dale until the citizens had helped
them to get the franchise they
wanted.
ITO this said Mr.. Adams, Il told
them | had troubles of my own and
did not propose to help them get
a franchise, and that 1 did not in
tend to be Disseminated against. If
my neighbors had telephones I could
have one, too, and proposed to get
1t without lobbying for a franchise
for the company"
The Utility Commission took both
MIR. Adams's request and that Of
the Seashore Commuters Club uRy

cisions later.

CHATHAM. y. J., Dec. 6.-Om-

Mrs. Hoesley. who was Miss Sophia

further relates, the postmaster, JUS
tice of the peace and recorder pur-
chased a uniform of his own and used
it with such good effect hat the
Hoesley home was broken up when
the husband departed last July.
And, Not Only That.
Moreover, Mr.. Hoseley declares. in
addition to displaying a marked fond
ness for uniforms and their wearers,
his wife gave him other causes for
worry. She murdered sleep for him,
he says, by beating him with her
fists as he lay in bed. and once when
he tried to steal about forty winks
by locking his bedroom door, Mrs.
Hoesley refused to be baked by any
such paltry obstacle and calmly
broke the door down.
Placing pins in his bed, .stabbing
him with hatpins and referring to
him by such loving titles as a -

merely small incidents in the daily
life of his spouse.
Great inroads on the family china.
Hoesley states, were made by his
wife's practise of using the plates as
weapons of offense, and one time
when Hoesley's silver service mys-
t~eriously disappeared he found that
1t had been carelessly dropped in the
ash barrel by his helpmeet.
Wife Denies His Charges.
A general denial to the husbands
charges is entered by Mrs. Hoes
ley. She will receive IS a week by
order of Vice-Chancellar Garrison

Postmaster, Recorder and Justice Of
the Peace Ferris denied today that
had ever tried to charm Mrs. Hoes

of his name in the divorce bill, he
said, was inspired by a spirit of re-
venge.

Hoesley has for naming either of US.
Another reason he has for seek
