EATS TOADSTOOL;;
LITTLE GIRL DIES
Camela Hill Disregards Warm
ing of Mother and
Death Results.

Many times since her daughter
Camela grew big enough to be al
lowed to gather mushrooms for the
use of the family, Mrs, Emma Hill,
of 1856 Roland avenue. South Orange,
warned the child against eating any
until they had been examined by her
elders.
This advice Camela, who was 3
years old, disregarded last Friday,
and late yestegda y-died In agony as a
result OF having eaten toadstool,
There is a large field in the rear Of
the Hill home and mushrooms grow
there abundantly. Two or three
times a week Mrs. Hill or one of her
daughters and sons have been aceus-
toned to gather pailful of the
vegetables for the family dinner. The
mother has frequently warned her
children not to eat mushrooms until
they had taken them home and she
had opportunity to sort them out.
She pointed to a number of recent
deaths which resulted from mistak-
ing toadstools for mushrooms. and
the children promised TO heed her
counsel.
Camola gathered a quantity of
mushrooms, which her mother pre-
pared for the family's supper. All ate
a good quantity. About midnight Mrs.
Hill was aroused by screams from
her daughters bedroom and found
Camela writhing in pain The child
confessed to having disobeyed her
mother and eaten what she believed
were mushrooms while gathering
them in the afternoon.
DR. Alfred c. Benedict was sum-
moned and tried heroic measures to
relieve her pain. Saturday she ap-
peared to be recovering, but yester-
day suffered a relapse and died at
night. one year to the hour after the
death Of her father, John HILL
The funeral will take place from
her home tonight Services will be
conducted by the Rev Perry H. Muir
dick. of the South orange Methodist
Church. Interment will be tomorrow
in a Paterson cemetery.

With the request that he call a
special meeting of the Common Coun-
Gil. to take immediate action toward
abolishing the Motordrome, the
Vailsburg Improvement Association
has sent letter of protest to Mayor
Jacob Haussling. The letter requests
not only the closing up of the Motor
drome, but the enactment of an or
dinance to prevent motorcycle racing
in this city.
Though this letter was sent yes
terday, the mayor declared today
that he had not received it and.
Furthermore, knew nothing about such
a missive having been sent. Until it
is received he will have nothing to
say as to his position in the matter.
This letter is accompanied by sew
eral petitions containing hundreds OF
names gathered in canvass of the
Vailsburgh section and among the
members OF the congregations of sew
eral of the local Protestant churches
yesterday morning and last night.
Mayor Haussling has been absent
from the city since September IA. at
which time he ordered Chief of Police
Corbitt to prevent the Motordrome
reopening until his return today.
AT the time of his departure from
the city the Mayor is said to have
been in sympathy with the movement
to abolish motorcycle racing in this
city, and for this reason it is ex-
pected that he will take some cog
nizance of the request of the Walls
burgers. Whether or not he will
deem 1t necessary to call a special
meeting of the Council to take action
Is not known. The letter requesting
such action is signed by Alderman

Charged with setting fire to his
own Ave. ten and nineteen-cent store,
1sador Schiller, of 1896 Springfield
avenue, was held In $4,000 bail for

He was arraigned in the Fourth
Precinct Police Court on a complaint
made by Battalion Fire Chief Mat
thew P. A. McDermitt
Besides destroying the interior of
Schillers store and contents. at
Springfield and Fairmount avenues,
the fire caused a panic in Saenger
Hall, across the street, where 300
men, women and children were OBJ
serving the feast of the atoflement in
a temporary synagogue.
Schiller has made several state
ments since his arrest, which the
police declare they will prove are un-
true.
i was talking to man named Sin
ger just before the fire." Schiller said
He came into the store and offered
me cigarette. We stood at the left
of the door and smoked. Later we
went out together. After he left

of the Improvement association hav-
ing this matter in charge.
In case the Mayor fails to act. It
is probable that Alderman Welsh will
himself carry the matter to the floor
of the Council.
Those having the petitions in
charge declare that they met with
hearty response In all of the churches
visited. In two of the churches. the
Fairmcunt Avenue Baptist Church
and the Belleville Avenue Congrega-
tional Church, the petitions were pre-
sented by the pastors, the Rev. George
E. Lombard and the Rev. James A.
Solandt, respectively. At both
churches there were many signers,
but there were some also who refused
TO be drawn into the matter.
In other churches representatives of
the Vallsburgh Improvement Associa-
ton circulated the petition among the
members of the congregation after
the services and in the manner Sc
cured many signers.
Special attention was paid by the
Vailsburgers to the churches whose
pastors made reference to the Motor :
drome In their sermons of a week
ago.
Every effort is now being made
by the Vailsburgers to start city
wide movement against the Motor
drome with view of driving the
sport out of the city. To this emu
all of the petitions will be sub
mited first to the mayor who will
be asked to call special meeting
of the Common Council to take ac-
ton against the continuance of the
sport. and then to the members of

OFFICER STARTS
RIOT AT WEDDING
Peeved at Honor Accorded Ri
val, Runs Amuck and Rides
in Patrol Wagon.

There were so many special officers
bent on preserving the peace at a
Ferry street wedding early today that
the celebration ended in a riot.
1t was simply a case of too much
of d good thing, Special officer Louis
Selling had been hired for the occa-
sion. Upon his shoulders rested the
responsibility of maintaining decorum
in the hall at 667 Ferry street. He
was TO oust the unruly, chastens the
boisterous and uphold the dignity of
the wedding.
He considered himself perfectly
competent. So did the proprietor of
the hall; but Special Officer Patrick
Doyle. "a years old, of 33 Bowery
street wandered in at 2:30 and dis
agreed with them.
The friends of the happy BRIDE
groom were about to repeat that joy
Gus, classical carol called, Gee, whiz,
I'm glad I'm free"
What you need" said Doyle, sur
veying the scene scornfully, 'is a
special officer"
pdt VIC SOt OilS, q lcu
the proprietor.
"Oh-that"' grunted Doyle looking
his rival over. II mean a real one"
He went out to the police box on
the corner, opened it and pretended
to call up the lieutenant at the Third
precinct. Then he turned to PATROL
man Dougherty, who was standing
nearby.
Say" he said. "the lieutenant says
for me to break up that party. Come
ahead"
Dougherty didn't like the idea of
spelling the wedding, and he didn't
believe the lieutenant had made such
an order. So Doyle went alone.
Say he gasped to Dougherty,
would you see me thrown out like
that and not do nothing?"
Then. according to Dougherty, he
snatched away the patrolman's night
stick and hit him over the head with
1t. The policeman, with the aid of
another handy special officer and sew
eral wedding guests and a saloon
keeper and q few others managed to
hold Doyle until the patrol wagon
came.
Acting Judge Rooney paroled him
until Wednesday in order to give Cap
tain Christie, of the Third precinct,
a chance to investigate the superfuity
of special policemen.

TOWNSEND SAYS
KNIGHT VIOLATED

Federal Statute De-

Congressional Aspirant Says
Law Gives Him Time Until
q Days After Primaries.

Contending that his opponent, Her.
bert w. Knight, congressional eandi-
date from the Tenth district. has
failed to file his campaign expense
statement as provided by the new
Federal statute. Congressman Edward
w. Townsend today declared that his
opponent in the congressional race
has violated the new law.
Mr.. Townsend exhibited telegram
dated Washington September 21 at
S:34 p. m. and signed by South
Trimble, clerk of the House, which
reads:
Herbert w. Knight has not filed

According to the new federal law
a congressional candidate must file
his first statement within not more
than fifteen days and not less than
ten days of the primary election. A
second statement must be filed with
In fifteen days after election.
Under this provision Mr.. Townsend
contends that Mr.. knight should
have filed his statement before Sep
tember ID. The State corrupt prac-
tices act provides that congress
sional candidate shall file his ex-
pense statement within five days
after the primary election, as is the
case with other candidates.
When the attention of Mr.. knight
was called to the matter today he
stated that he did not know any
thing about 1t.
"As / understand It," said he. 81

and it will be ready at the proper

When told that under the Federal
law it was understood a statement of
his expenses was required ten days
before the primary election, Mr..
Knight replied
How can that be? If a candidate
is adding to his expense account right
up to the time of the primary cleo
tion how could his statement be com
piled?' 1t Is understood that the
publicity of the subsequent expenses
is provided for by the second state

Mr.. Townsend seemed also to- be of
