leader and trailer of a twin Bloom
field line car to travel in opposite
directions with disastrous results.

but the tracks then slipped back into
place and the trailer, No. 753, con-
tinued west in Market street. Be-
fore the cars could be brought to a
stop the trailer had torn the car con-

was also damaged. Thirty passengers
were in the cars. but as the glass
fell to the street no person was in

COUNCIL CANNOT
AID LEATHER MEN
But Latter Ask Massachusetts
to Allow Mayor to Name
Measurer.

Baked in their efforts to find means
heer TO comply with the new Massa-
ohusetts law requiring all leather
shipped to that State to be measured
by a sworn measurer. local leather
manufacturers through their Boston
representatives are now seeking TO
have permission granted Mayor
Haussling by the Massachusetts, au-
thorities to appoint the measurers
A conference between Mayor Hauss-
ling, ]. F. Kaufherr. of the firm of
Kaufherr & Co, and City Attorney
Herbert Boggs yesterday afternoon
resulted in Mr.. Kaufherr.s taking the
matter to the attorneys generals Of
fee After looking INTO the subject
Mr.. Boggs found that the mayor or
Common Council had no power, either
by ordinance or otherwise, TO give
the city sealer the power to swear in
a measurer of leather. as was at first
planned, to aid the manufacturers.
An opinion was asked of Assistant
Attorney General Nelson B. Gaskill
by telephone following the confer
ence. Il was stated that owing TO
the limited power of the office of the
attorney general the latter could not
give advice to the manufa cturers
The new law becomes operative in
four days, and unless something is
done the Newark leather men will be
unable to make shipments to the
Massachusetts factories, Most of the
product made here is shipped to that
state. and the cutting off of this trade
would seriously affect both the leather
here and the shoe industry
there.
The opinion of Mr. Boggs led to the
calling off of the special session of
the Common Council for Friday as
by President John Fl. DON
nelly.
Should other means fail, according
to Mr.. Kaufherr, who is acting as
committee of one for the leather men,
It would be possible to ship goods to
provided both buyer
and seller agreed to waive the meas
irement law. But this would entail
written agreements for each sale and
.ach customer would have to be asked
o waive the law. causing endless
rouble and inconvenience.

TWO PARTIES MAY
NAME SAME MAN
William A. Lord Is of This
Opinion. in Opposition TO
William McTague.

Taking issue with William Nc
Tague, a member of the County
Board of Elections, on the question
of whether one candidate can be the
nominee Of two parties, William A..
Lord, of Orange, madesh statement
last night in which he declared that
the fling of two separate petitions,
one by each party, both nominating
the same candidate, would make ii
lawful for that candidate to be the
nominee of both those parties.
He seems to imagine said Mr..
Lord, that in order to do this there
will be but one petition prepared,
signed by both Progressiyes and Re-
publicans or Democrats, as the case
might be, and that it is contended
that upon that one petition the name
Of the nominee might be printed upon
the ballots of both parties.
"This is not the proposition at all,
Anyone familiar with the law knows
that for candidate to run in the
Progressive primaries he must have
his petition signed by Progressives
alone, and if he wishes to run in the
Republican primaries he must have
another petition. signed by Repub-
licans alone. If, however a petition
should be filed on behalf of the same
man, one containing the signatures
of thousand Progressives, request
ing his nomination in the Progressive
primaries, and one containing the
signatures of thousand Republic
cans, requesting his nomination in
the Republican primaries, and he
should signify his acceptance of such
nomination in both primaries, as pro-
vided for in section AZ of the election
law, as amended Up. L. 1912, p. 1863,
there is absolutely no reason why he
should not run in both primaries, and
if he received plurality of the votes
in each, be nominated as candidate
of both parties.
