OPPOSED TO BUSH PLAN

On the ground that there is no law
authorizing it, Board of Works Com
missioner Mungle, in a statement is
sued today, opposes the plan pro-
posed by Irving It. Buch, president
of the Bush Terminal, and E. P.
Goodrich, as experts to the board,
that the city and a private company
enter into partnership to develop the
meadows into an industrial centre.
Mr.. Mungle after giving his views
on the subject, states that he stands
by his original position and is ready
to vote to acquire bay frontage
which will give dock and shipping
facilities. He says these improve
ments were intended by the present
law and asks, why go further?"

EXPLOSION AT BLAZE

superintendent Gasser, of the de-
partment of combustibles, said this
morning that his inspectors found no
evidence of an explosion at the early
morning fire at 800 Orator street. An
investigation did not uncover the fact
that any gasoline or other explosive
had been stored in the shed. A
wagon stood on the floor. 1t was be-
ing painted and a gallon of turpen-
tine stood by. Nc one in the two en-
CINE companies or in the neighbour
hood heard the explosion, according
to the superintendent. The building
and the wagon were burned. The
building was worth $500, according
to the fire estimate and was insured
for 5000. The shop and contents be-
longed to Charles N. Smith, of 300
Grafton avenue, whose home is $50
feet away from the scene of the fire.

Anyway, I don't think we ought to
let money stand in the way of our
happiness. And it's so lonely to be-
a widow. I guess I'll take a chance"
But I have a mother who'll have
to live with u.s." he confessed frank
ly. "That'll make nine in my family
and five in yours. Do you"
"Oh," she exclaimed, never mind a
little thing like that. Two of my
children are already married and
away from home"
So they were married.
h Charges Cruelty.
That was April 8, 1912, in Yonkerss
Philip E. Frey, painting contractor,
took as his wife Annie z. Weiss, a
plump widow. with two husky sons
of "a n rs, respectively, and two
daughters of 16 and 10.
The Supreme Court now will be
asked to determine whether Philip
and Edgar Weiss, the two grown sons
of the former widow, have been too
bossy in the house of their stepfather
and have practically elected him from
the comforts of his own Preside.
The question will be raised In a
separation action against Mr.. Frey
by his newly wed wife. She charges
him with cruel treatment and ADAM
donment. Four specific dates ara
mentioned as occasions when he was
so unchivalrous as to lay his hands
urgently upon her. Frey makes reply
in detail and charges hat his wife,
and her two grown sons are in a
conspiracy to get rid of him in order
that she may try her luck again in
the matrimonial agency. 81
Slept with One Eye Open.
Immediately after the marriage
ceremony Frey and the widow-bride
went to 1872 East 2O6th street to live.
Frey took his mother and seven chill
dren. His bride took her two grown
sons. The two families united in
defraying the expenses.
Finally, however, there was .
little family tiff. 1t appear from
Frey's statement that his wife said
he was spending too much money.
Frey resented the charge and told
her that he didn't see how that could
be when he handed over his pay en-
velope every Saturday night and let
her dole out the dollars.

tives of the schools. including one boy
and one girl from each public school
of the city, Joined in singing THE
Star-Spangled Banner"
The Rev. William T. Upton de-
livered an invocation, Alderman John
F. Reilly, chairman of the Fourth of
July celebration committee of the
Common Council, explained the pur-
pose of the safe and sane celebration
and Mayor Jacob Haussling babe the
audience welcome in the name of the
city.
The address of DIR. Coyle, who is an
orator of national reputation, was
mastery. 1t was different from the
stereotyped patriotic speech, and at
the finish of his remarks, despite the
heat and the resulting discomfort
that came with even slight effort, the
audience arose and cheered and ap-
plauded longer than some of the po-
litical writer's would have us believe
the ovations that followed the launch
ing of a boom on the floor of either
of the national conventions lasted.
The concerts given during the day
were as follows: Afternoon-Wee-
quahic Park, A. Glickman's band;
Branch Brook Park, Habersang's
band; Riverbank Park, Peiffer's band.
Evening-Branch Brook Park, Doc
tors band; Military Park. Haber-
sang's band; East Side Park, Peiffer's
band; West Side Park. Lenz's band;
Prince Street Fairgrounds, A. Click
mans band.
The two small fires which occurred
during the day caused little loss.
Fireworks carelessly used is said to
have been the cause of both blazes.
The awning in front of Michael
Schechner's store at 2S6 South Orange
avenue was damaged to the extent of
$25 after firemen had found pieces of
exploded f~irecrackers in the street,
which they believe set fire to the
awning.
The second fire was found in the
apartments of George Stefanik on the
second floor of 319 Norfolk street early
last night. Here also fireworks are
blamed.
Many tributes we're paid G. Albert
Gasser, superintendent of the depart
ment of cobustibles, today on the
success of his fight to reduce the
casualties incident to the celebration
in the past. Not a single casualty
was reported as due to fireworks.
Mr.. Gasser has spent six years in the
effort to produce a harmless Fourth,
and the first one occurred yesterday.

ago we had thirty accidents and one
fatality. Two years ago we had
thirty accidents and one fatality, and
last year ten accidents and nine fires.
Yesterday we had no casualties and
two fires were due to the hot wire OF
the sparklers being c%arelessly thrown
near houses.
1T is truly a source of qualification
to know that all this was brought
about without interfering with the
children's fun. They were contented
with their caps and sparklers.

JULY FOURTH AND
NOT AN ACCIDENT!
Only Two Small Fires Mar
Peace of Nations Birth
day Anniversary.

1t was a thoroughly safe and
sane Fourth of July that Newark
celebrated yesterday, for not a single
accident occurred throughout the
day to mar the Independence Day
program.
A few might have regretted the con-
spicuous absence of cannon and fire.
crackers, but the majority welcomed
h days program of quiet and were
happy to see a Fourth pass by with
out serious injury to life and limb.
Here and there the sound of a blank
cartridge cap brought back memories
of past celebrations, but these sounds
were so few and far between as 70
cause no anxiety over the safety of
he youngsters. who found delight in
remembering the day with some noise
by exploding a cap on a trolley track.
Even for these few 1t was not all
smooth running, for each car bore
cloth tenders before its front wheels
that cleared the tracks of all explo-
sives.
The celebration, though void of &C
CiutulS, was nevertheless d real
Fourth of July" in character, for it
was the kind OF celebration to which
the older generation waaccustomed.
The opening exercises in Newark
Theatre in the morning lighted the
patriotic torch in keeping with the
historic significance of our birthday,
1876 years ago.
The national airs were enthusiast
cally sung by a happy crowd of men,
women and children, who found de-
light in ~rehearsing the tunes they
mastered in school many years back.
The new national emblem, promi-
nently displaying the forty-eight
stars, in keeping with the number of
States. was triumphantly waved, to
the joy and satisfaction of those
who defied the heat to listen to the
prominent speakers of the day. The
patriotic character of the day was
further exempliied in the celebra-
tons at the city's parks and play
grounds in the afternoon and We
ming, when musical programs in
keeping with the spirit of the Fourth
were rendered.
The numerous concerts were suffi-
GENTLY varied in character to satisfy
the wishes of all. The crowds began
TO leave for the amusement resorts at
an early hour, and all day the exodus
continued.
No Accidents Reported.
The best part of the days celebra-
ton was thai it did not have the
sorrowful side that the observance
used to bring. The police did not re-
ceive a single report of any accident
due to the use of fireworks, and the
fire department had only one chase to
the remains of a burning
awning. There was no rush of hos
pital ambulances to save victims of
misdirected enthusiasm.
In the municipal celebration fire.
works were dispensed with altogeth-
er, for the city authorities are con-
that the absence of display
will do a "great deal towards Grad
icating the old-time shooting evil
with its consequent loss of life and
limb.''
Patriotic Exercises.
Probably the most interesting part
of the celebration was the patriotic
entertainment at the Newark The
atre. This started with an orchestral
concert at 9 a. m. and the musical
program lasted until $50. Then the
audience, which consisted of city Off

You would almost rather starve

must suffer after every meal. In
deed you arc practically starving
yourself to avoid the discomfort and
pain.
Your food does not digest; it seems
to remain right in your stomach like
