YOUTH ADMITS HOLD-UP
AND is HELD FOR TRIAL

Held without bail for the action of
the Essex county grand jury, Charles
Curtin, 10 years old, who says he has
no home, was today removed from
the Irvington police station to the
Essex county Jail. Curtin was ar
rested last might by Patrolman Jo-
seph Maser. His capture is consid-
cred an important one.
According to the police, Curtin, on
March %, entered the store of Fred
erick Bussi, 27s Lyons avenue, Irv-
ington, and at the point of revolver
held up Bussi's daughter, Margaret,
while he rified the cash drawer. He
is said to have taken small amount
of money. The arrival of several
customers frightened him off.
The lad made himself scarce since
the happening. Last night he struck
town and Policeman Maser spied him.
He answered the description of the
person wanted in connection with the
Bussi robbery and Maser took him
into custody. The youth is said to
have confessed to Police Chief Green
the fact that he had entered the
Bussi store. He was arraigned to-
day before Recorder w. Eugene Tur-
ton and the case was disposed of as
above related The police say Curtin
has served time in the Railway Re-
formatory.

BY MISTAKE RINGS UP
; FARE; FIGHT FOLLOWS

The powers of a trolley conductor
in his treatment of a passenger who
rings up the fare bell instead of the
signal for a. motorman to stop, after
being unable to get the conductors
attention, was argued before Re-
corder Mott in East Orange Police
the Public Service, and Charles Light
hipe. counsel for Thomas Fitten, sr.,
of q Prince street, Orange.
Mr.. Fitten was a passenger on a
car of which Conductor James Moran.
of las New street, Newark, had
charge, and just before Harrison
street, East Orange, was reached he
made an effort to notify the con-
ductor that he wanted to get off.
He did not attract Moran's attention,
however, and pulled a rope, which,
the conductor said, rang up a fare.
Then an argument started.
Evidence given by witnesses for
both sides differed. Moran said he
put his hands across the seat to hold
back Fitten, in order that he could
collect the fare, and to prevent an az
cident He alleged also that Fitten
tried to choke him, and he then
struck him in the face. Fitten re-
ceiving a discolored optic and an
other mark. The conductor insisted
he acted in self-defense. Fitten's wit
nesses said they did not see him at
tempt to choke Moran.
Mr. Blake argued that Moran was
within his rights in acting as he did
while Mr.. Lighthipe insisted he was
guilty of disorderly conduct, and Mott
upheld him. The recorder said he
had doubts about any attempt to
choke the conductor and that his first
move in a threatened assault should
have been to get out of the way. He
also insisted that the conductor had
no right to hold Fitten inside the car
to collect the five cents. He then
fined Moran $40. and an appeal was
taken by Mr. Blake A damage suit
against the company likely will be in
stituted Immediately by Fitten.

HOLD UP PAY FOR
ELECTION BILLS
Board of Freeholders to lnves-
tigate Wide Variation in
Contractors Charges.

After a good deal of wrangllng the
finance committee OF the Board Of
Freeholders have finally paid some of
the bills contracted at the recent pri-
mary. while others were held up for
further consideration. At the last
meeting only the bills for election
officers and the rental of polling
places were ordered paid. Those for
clerical services, putting up booths
and printing of ballots were laid over
because of wide difference in the
amounts asked for from the different
sections.
Bills submitted by city, township
q district, and the members of the
committee could not understand how
the service was more valuable in one
case than another. On motion of
Freeholder Gilbert the bills sub
mitted on a Sc basis were allowed and
those above that were laid on the
table.
The bills for the erection of cleo
tion booths also showed wide varia-
tion and 1t was decided to pay only
those which were for not more than
So per day. Some of these were for
only $3.50 a day while others were
as high as $40 per day
The greatest divergence, however,
was in the bills for printing election
ballots, the charge of some of the
printers being Sc per 1000, while
others was $36. 1t was agreed that
all bills of $40 a thousand or less
should be paid and also one particu-
lar bill for printing the South Or
ange Township ballots, charged at a
rate of $11.
1t was decided to call a special
meeting to which all of the election
clerks will be invited not only that
they may explain what kind of CON
tracts they made for the printing of
their ballots but to discuss the mat
ter of election expenses in general
so that some understanding may be
reached before another election takes
place.
