NEWARK MAN INVENTS
DOOR THAT is FIREPRO0F.


Titus de Bobula, of this city, has
been granted a patent covering a con-
crete door having a metal reinforce
ment embedded in it, and extending
across substantially the entire body of
the door, together with reinforcing
piece at the opposite edge of the door
This reinforcing piece provides the
means for attaching the lock and hinge
fixtures.
This fireproof door invented by Mr..
de Bobula, while technically known as
a concrete door, is actually composed
of asbestos with binder that in COM
bination under hydraulic pressure Gre
ates a perfect material for the purpose
desired. The binder used is manufac-
tured under a secret formula.
Some Of the claims made by the in
ventor are that the material has sue
cessfully withstood extreme fire and
water tests, that it is both elastic and
compact, and will not chip under the
blow of a hammer. The cause of these
rather extraordinary qualities Is said
by the inventor to be the entire alb
senee of silica cement In the material.
Should the door be demonstrated by
practical test to the satisfaction of
those concerned in building operations,
it seems likely that a revolutionary
change in the demand for wooden doors
is near at hand.

MORE MARKET STREET
CHANGES UNDER WAY.

The influence of the new BamberEer
building is rapidly making itself felt
along Market street. At the present
rate of remodeling and rebuilding
within the next twelve months the
street will be radically changed in ap-
pearance.
The star has kept the public con-
stantly apprised of the many changes
taking place on this great thorough
fare, but anyone walking along the
street must be impressed with the fact
that a great transformation scene is in
progress.
Exhibiting the tendency of the move
ment westward from Bamberger's
typical instance may be cited. The
Marathon Lunch Company acquired
recently the lease on the premises ~
and "a Market street. The concern
is now engaged i'm remodelins the
building at "a. To put the building in
desired condition will cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 The Marathon peo-
pie have ten-year lease with priyi-
lego of renewal for five years addi-
tional.
Extensive alterations in the building
at 90 will also be made.
There is the possibility that the man
agement may reconsider its decision
to sublet the building at 92.
The Schultz cigar concern is at work
remodeling the corner store just above
the Marathon Company at S. The
exodus from the Kinney building site
at the southeast corner of Broad and
Market streets has already begun.

REAL ESTATE BOARD is
AFTER A NEW STATION.

Upon the initiative of the Newark
Book is president, conferences have
been held with officials of the Penn
sylvania railroad in regard to reopen
ing of the matters relating to the Mar
ket street station. The Real Estate
Board has taken the position that some
understanding should be had with the
railroad company, not only in regard
to a new station, but also to an ade-
quate train service for Newark.
A resolution was passed a short time
ago which in substance provided for a
movement involving the Pennsylvania
railroad, the Board of Trade, the Mar
ket Street Business Mems Association
the Real Estate Board and the Board
of Works, the object being to find
some common ground of agreement re-
garding the location and erection OF
new railroad station.
The matter has progressed to a point
where it is believed nothing more than
mere detail will interfere with the
carrying on of the proposed plans. An
other conference will be held next
week.
Much concern is being manifested by
members of the Real Estate Board in
the projected improvement of the Cen
tire Market The board appointed a
committee consisting of Messrs. Virtue
Gray and Bond to investigate the
proposition and make report at the
next meeting.
The board is arranging for a ban.

Vincent AstOr Will Possess That
Amount in Five Months
WILL OF JOHN JACOB kST0R
tim Of the Titanic Disaster
First in Family TO Have
Absolute Control.

New York.-By the terms of will
made by the late William Waldorf
Astor. 50 percent of the famous Astor
fortune will 80 to young Vincent
AstOr. This means that irrespective
OF any testament which may have
seen left by John Jacob Astor a for
tune Of approximately $GO,OO0,0OO will
.ecOme tne aDs,IuJe property of Vim
cent Astor when he attains his ma
jorty in five months.
Vincent Astor is the first man in
the llneal descent OF the family who
will hold his fortune to do with as he
pleases, thereby placing burden
upon the shoulders OF this young man
that no Astor since the first OF the
line has borne.
With the terms Of this will John
Jacob Astor had no connection, as
they were made by his father and
have been on file in the surrogate's
Office for over forty years. The in
heritance is divided in two parts Of
50 and 90 percent. The larger portion
goes to Vincent AstOr and the 20 per.
cent to the other children. At pres
ent Muriel Astor is the only other
child. The estate at the present
time amounts to approximately
S75OOO,000
In case Of issue from the second
wife of Col. Astor, the child will share
the 20 percent with Muriel. If it is a
girl the money will be equally divid.
ed, but if boy is born TO Mrs. Jonn
Jacob Astor, he will receive more
than Muriel, or approximately ST.
100000.
The only personal home of his own
which Colonel Astor was in a posi-
ton to dispose Of is Ferncliffe, the
country estate on tha"%Iudson. This,
together with what money he might
have possessed other than that in
herited with the estate, was the only
volitional resource he had. The cele-
brated Astor family Jewels were willed
by Mrs. William Astor to her daugh-
ters and their children and in part
TO her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ava Will
ing Astor.
At the time Of her marriage, Mrs.
Ava Willing Astor, in accordance with
the custom of the Astor family.
signed over her dover rights in the
estate for settlement, which con-
sisted OF the income on $-,r00,000
This she was to have only after the
death Of Col. Astor during her own
lifetime.
At the time of her divorce Mrs
Astor relinquished her rights to this
settlement and received in place of
it, for life, the Income on the prop
erty known as the Knicktrbocker
Hotel.
