According to statements made today
by a prominent member Of the Third
Presbyterian Church, the several men,
bers of the congregation which consid-
cred the future policy of that church at
a meeting last night. misunderstood the

that the proposed merger Of the Third

the adjustment of the Third Church.
To this they are unalterably opposed
The plan of merger that is being consid-

Church, is the unison of both churches
In institutional work. That is as far as
the consolidation would extend, it was
said. The members last night declared
they would agree to no plan which
would destroy the identity of the Third

favor of perpetuating a Third Presby-
terian Church somewhere in the city,
and insist that the funds of the Third
Church be controlled by trustees of
that church only.

by Judge Hahn In the First Precinct

Clerk Rooney discovered they had been

Today Warden McGuinness informed
Clerk Rooney that they were in jail.
They were Immediately taken to the

that If he could get back the silver

Winter Gone,Did
You Hear Crash?

Spring is all but here. The weather
sharps, the birds and the thermome-
ters are alike more or less sure about
1t despite discouragements. Further
more there was a thunder shower, with
real lightning, early today. This is
generally considered an omen that
clinches the argument.
Principal Wiener, Of the Central High
School. was asked about it today.
Yes, thunder showers accompany
the breaking up of winter" he said,
'but there is nothing unusual about
the one we had last night. In fact, we
had thunder in the winter, during a
hail storm. 1t did not last long last
night, but there was an improvised
drigzle for hours before"
Professor Wiener said that spring be-
gan this year on March %, although
the usual date is March 21.
There is minute or so difference
in the time the sun rises and SETS
he pointed out. For instance, on
March II the sun rises at 6:02 and sets
at 6:19 On the next day it rises at
9 o'clock and sets at 6:14."
This prosaic diagnosis of the ap-
proach Of spring hardly seemed ade-
quate.
isn't there anything more you can
say about it?" Professor Wiener was
asked.

After all spring is not here, actually
here, and won't be until the twenty

Following the murder of Antonio

will be arraigned In the Second Pre-

by Captain Long. OF the Fifth pre-
cinct.
The shooting took place in front Of
70 South Sixth street at O'Clock last
night, after what was supposed to
be a peace dinner.
! Carcuro had come to Newark from
Troy a few days before. Monco, VINO
lived at 2s2A South Twentieth street,
asked Michael Turo. his uncle, shoe
maker. of 70 South Sixth street, to
give dinner where the two men could
end their feud and pledge each other
to continual friendship.
! The three men and Carmine NADIA
lane, the shoemakers assistant, ami
cably ate their meal together. happy in
the belief that the idea of blood re-
venge had been abandoned by Carcuro.
It was the first time the cousins had
sat at the same table In years.
Then, according to the police. Guidice
and Tranno visited the house and
asked the two cousins to come out

dragged into the conversation, 1t is al

time the police reserves arrived.

OVER
SEWAGE BILL

[From staff Correspondent
TRENTON, March 2O.-A battle royal
ensued today between the representa-
tives of Orange, East Orange and
Montclair and those of Bloomfield,
Belleville and Nutley at the hearing on
the Beard bill, No. 261. This measure
makes it necessary for one municipal
which it wishes to place a sewage dis
posal plant. The hearing was before
the Senate committee.
Mayor Hauser and former Mayor
Sutphen, of Bloomfield, declared that
Orange, East Orange and Montclair
wished to put disposal plant in the
Soho section, which is partly in Belle
Vile and Bloomfield. The bill would
prevent this without the consent of
Bloomfield and Belleyille. These men
declared that the plant would depre-
ciate property and be nuisance. They
argued that there was sufficient land
in Montclair for a plant of this sort.
Assemblyman Beard and Henry S.
Opdyke, of Bound Brook, also spoke
for the bill. John d. Everitt. of Or
ange; Edward s. Pierson, Of East Or
ange, and w. ]. Butterfield, of North
Plainfield, spoke against it. Senator
Johnson, one of the committee, seemed
to think that the Passaic Valley trunk
sewer would be a better proposition
than the Imhoff plant. Orange and
East Orange men said the cost of the
trunk sewer was prohibitive.
The Bound Brook question is the con-
tinuation of the fight of last year, when
Plainfield attempted to put Its plant in
North Plainfield abutting on Bound
Brook. Assemblyman Lamonte, of
Somerset, hedged on the question last
year, and as result was defeated for
election to the Senate. despite the fact
that Governor Wilson, his personal
friend, went to Somerset county to aid
him.

manufacturers of iron and steel, on the
rates of the Central Railroad Of New
Jersey for the transportation Of steel
bars and billets and scrap iron to des-
tinations in New England.
Perth Amboy, N j.. is the point Of
origin of the shipments, and the alle-
cation is that the rates exacted by the

Meeting lines in New England are ex-
cessive and discriminatory.
Demand is made that the rates from
Perth Amboy be reduced and that the
complainant be paid large sum In
reparation.
