TOWN SHAKES UP
TROLLEY COMPANY
Wants Fifteen Minute Service
on SpeedWell Avenue.

Following the withdrawal by the
trolley company of the short line car
the board of aldermen Monday even
ing adopted resolutions calling upon
the trolley company to fulfill its
franchise obligations requiring the
running of cars every fifteen minutes
between the Lackawanna railroad
station and Morris Plains.
This provision appears in the fran
chise adopted in October, 1910, and
requires that cars be operated at
least every fifteen minutes from six
O'Clock in the morning until eight
o'clock at night.
G. A. Gilfillan, of the trolley com
pany, when spoken to about the ac-
tion of the aldermen, said it was
news to him that a fifteen minute
service was required, having been un-
der the impression that the franchise
provided only for cars every half
hour
He said that while the short line
car was operated it was run at a loss
to the company of $4 per day but II
the town demanded it it would be put
into the running once more. The
company had been figuring ON running
the state hospital cars through to
Morristown between the main line
runs but siding on .Speedwell avenue
were so placed as to make it at
least very inconvenient and it would
probably interfere materially with the
schedules of the mainline cars.
What we want and what will be
the solution of our operating prob
lem,9 said Mr.. Gilfillan, "is to get
across the Lackawanna tracks at Nor
ris street so that we can operate our
line through to Washington head
quarters. When we do this our
schedules will allow our mainline and
state hospital cars to pass at the
end of the double track on Speedwell
avenue. We have asked the town to
take up this matter but it has as yet
done nothing"

SHINGLES HEWN BY HAND.
Much Tact Required to Obtain Them
For Mr.. Bayne's Colonial Home.


For Mr.. Bayne's Colonial Home.
1t required lot of tact and labor
to obtain the sheathing for Howard
Bayne's Colonial home, which has
been completed recently on New Yer
non road.
To look at the structure one would
think that it had stood there ever
since the days that General Washing
ton began to take residences through
this section for headquarters. It's
outer walls and roof are covered with
hand split shingles. now painted a
creamy white, of just the kind that
We're worked out by hand in Revolu-
tionary times. Shingles such as these
do not come into the regular market,
and the problem presented itself to
the architect, Alfred C. Bosom, as to
how he could obtain them.
1t was learned that in some sec
tions of the South they could be
bought in limited quantities, and an

lect them through country store
keepers. The shingles We're made
mostly in Northern Georgia in lots
of 400 or 800. Some were fashioned
by denizens of the old plantations
when they felt like it: others by
negroes, who devoted the leisure of
winter days to splitting few of the
tapering boards. Nobody pays cash
for shingles, for they are items of
the store trade. Each consignment
represented side of bacon or a sack
or two of corn meal or jug of
molasses.
1t required much trading, sometimes
delicate negotiation and the promise
of reward to get all these shingles
split by hand. There are thirty thou
sand of them on the new house, which
looks as though it were transferred
from the Colonial period without
change. 1t is 11S feet in length, a
two story rambling structure, with
twenty-five rooms. The attic is re-
dolent with the balsamic odor of hand
split shingles of pine.

MoRRIsToNIAN IN ELopmENT.
Miss Winifred Adams and James C
Suydam Married In Bermuda.


Announcement has been made al
Hamilton, Bermuda, of the marriage
of Miss Winifred Adams. the debu-
tante daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver
Adams, of Toronto. formerly of Nor
ristown, to James c. Suydam, also
of Toronto, by Father Comeau, in the
rectory of st. Edwards Catholic
church. The marriage took place a
week ago and had been kept secret.
After the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs.
Adams, who are staying at the Prin-
cess for the season, were called up
on the phone and advised of the
wedding, and parental blessing was
received
Mr.. Suydam had been attentive for
some time, yet the parents on both
sides objected to a marriage on ac'
count of the ages of the bride and
groom, the former being eighteen and
the latter twenty. Mr.. Adams, there
fore, took his daughter to Bermuda
for the winter. intending to go direct
to England in the spring for an in
definite stay.
This did not at all suit the young
ste-'s and consequently, after various
dispatches and cables, young Mr. Suy
dam quietly slipped into Bermuda
going to the Hamilton Hotel, where
he remained while completing ar.
rangements for the elopment.
Mr. and Mrs Suydam will go on to
Toronto. their future home

SENATORS NOT
AT ALL AFRAID
OF WOODBURY.

Manager Ray Baker takes exception
to the statement by the management
Of the Woodburn baseball team that
he is afraid to meet the aggregation
from the northern city. The only
question that entered into the matter
was the question OF finance. The Sa-
lem team has been playing losing
game almost all season and to bring
team like that of Woodburn here for
three games to lose money again, is
not the kind OF management Baker is
putting up. In the negotiations Mr.
Baker insisted on such percentage
of the gate receipts as he thought
would pay the expenses Of the game,
and when the Woodburn manager
would not consent to this, the games
we're called off. The team from there
may be strong one, but It certainly
has not made any record so far this
season, ana 10 close up a series OF
games with team of little or no repu-
tation would not bring out any crowd,
In order to play baseball there must
be a crowd as the expenses are heavy.
Mr.. Baker has been going behind fin
ancially in almost every game this
season, and he is of the opinion that a
game of this kind would be Of little
interest in general and then, too, on
account of the lateness Of the season
interest in baseball Is on the decrease,
The claim that the Senators are afraid
OF the Woodburnites is a mistake and
without foundation of truth.
