CLINTON AVENUE
LANDMARK GOES
Magnificent Old Elm Removed
on Complaint That 1t Hid
Signs.
STOOD AT CROSSING
ON CHADWICK AVENUE
Residents of Section Fought At
tempt at Destruction by Au-
thorities Some Years Ago.

The majestic elm tree which for
more than three score of years stood
on Clinton avenue. at Chadwick ave-
nue., was cut down yesterday after
noon. Its disappearance was a mat
ter of regret to the neighhorhood. Old
timers regarded the magnificent tree
as landmark of the section and
children cherished its shade in sum
mer time. The elm was notable be-
cause when Chadwick avenue was cut
through some years ago the tree was
permitted to lift its head above the
housetops despite the fact that the
trunk was about ten feet from the
curb In the roadway, near the cross
walk
Several efforts were made of late
to have the tree removed on account
of its interference with traffic but it
remained for an advertising company
to force its death warrant. 1t seems
that the tree INSTRUCTED some gawdy
advertising signboards and complaint
was filed with the Shade Tree Com
mission.
When the Board of Works decided
to widen and regrade Clinton avenue
about ten years ago they ordered City
Engineer Ernest Adams to have the
tree removed, along with a lot of
other fine shade trees in that district
Many of the trees ordered removed
were cut down, but when Mr.. Adams
looked at the elm he knew the orders
of the board. as far as he was con-
cerned were going to be disobeyed.
At the next meeting of the board
Mr.. Adams was put on the carpet
and asked why he had not had the
mighty elm cut down. He answered,
''I couldn't" The commissioners un-
derstanding his feelings decided the
tree could stand. At the conclusion
of the meeting an agitated movement
was started In the Clinton Hill dis
trict to have a suitable inscription
placed on the tree. The following
was chosen but never placed there.
for what reason cannot be learned:
1.-THE springing arches high and dim,
Are haunted by the whispering hymn
OF summer winds while far below
The voices of the great world flow
About four years ago the tree be-
gan to show signs of losing it's great
vigor and the top branches died. At
once the Shade Tree Commission took
up the case and tried pruning the
dead limbs in the hope that 1t was
only a temporary ailment. The ex-
perts studied the old patient. They
found that on account of the paving
at its base not enough water reached
the roots that spread for thirty feet
around. A few weeks ago the COM
mission decided 1t was impossible to
save the tree. It was ordered re-
moved, which was done yesterday.
Standing directly in the path of
pedestrians at the Clinton avenue
and Chadwick avenue crossing the
tree lowered high in the air. 1t was
three and a half feet in diameter at
its base.

COUNCIL TOPROBE
FIRE TOMORROW
Irvington Chief Reports on
Cause of Delay in Reach
ing Blaze.

In an effort to fix responsibility for
the delay of the Irvington fremen
in reaching the fire Monday night
which destroyed the home of William
Heintz. of Myrtle avenue, Fire Chief
Herbert J. Groom will appear before
the Town Council tomorrow to ex-
plain the situation. The special in
quiry ordered by Councilman Frank
r. Sharp chairman of the fire com
mittee, will take place Immediately
after the reorganization for the new
year.
Councilman Sharp declares that the
matter will be sifted to the bottom.
BY his order Chief Groom has sub
mitted a written report of the affair.
In the absence of Harry Helwig,
mechanician of the fire department,
none of the firemen was able to start
the new $4,000 automobile fire truck
in answer to Monday nights alarm
The firemen then started out in the
old fire truck, but became stalled be-
cause of a lack of gasoline.
In spite of this delay, Chief Groom
declares the house could not have
been saved had no trouble with the
fire truck arisen.
The Heintz home was destroyed by
the fire and slight damage was done
to an adjoining house owned by
Frank Lamb. The total loss is esti-
mated at SO, 500.

WrangIe.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-with the
jury unable to agree upon a verdict
and discharged after wrangling for
more than thirty-two hours, Hans
Schmidt, the priest who confessed to

In the North river is in the Tombs
today awaiting another trial.
Assistant District Attorney Dele
hanty, who conducted the prosecu-
ton, said today that there will be no
delay in preparing for another trial,
and that steps will be begun at once
for the second trial, although the
first one cost the county about 500, 900.
Schmidt appeared relieved when he
heard Lawrence Ottinger, foreman
of the jury inform Judge Warren w.
Foster that the jury was unable to
agree and that further discussion
would be useless, as two of the Jurors
had made UP their minds and main
tained that their decision was unal-
terable.
When the jury was discharged
they stood ten for conviction of muir
der in the first degree and two for
acquittal on the grounds of in
sanity.
Calling each other "boobs" and
persons unfit mentally, tempermen-
tally and morally to sit upon this
jury" the twelve parted in the spa
cious corridor of the Criminal Courts
building enemies, after creating one
of the most extraordinary scenes
ever witnessed i'm the famous build
ing.
Their hair dishevelled, anger glar-
ing from their eyes, and sullen, they
took their seats precisely at 10
o'clock. Foreman Ottinger addressed
Judge Foster as follows:
Your honor, there Is no possible
chance of our coming to an agree
ment. We stand the same upon our
last ballot as we did on our first
Ten of the members of this jury feel
firmly convinced that we have two
other members who are absolutely
mentally, tempermantally and moral
" unfit to serve as iurymen."
Judge Foster then said that as long
as there was no hope of their coming
to an agreement, he would discharge
them.
The two men who stood out against
conviction were John Grivith and
William McAuliffe.
Shivering with rage, McAuliffe
answer to a question as to whether
1t was not true that the ten feared
that Schmidt might some day be re-

of His Skin Is GRATED to
His Little Sisters Body

PLAINFIELD, Dec. 31.-In an effort
to save the life of his eight-year- old
sister, who had been badly burned
about the lower part of the body e
month ago. Moses Parella, eleven
years old, submitted yesterday to a
skin grating operation. The physician
removed one hundred pieces of skin
from his body.
The two physicians say that the
operation seems a success, but they
will not be able to tell definitely for
several days. They both praised the
little hero for the Spartan way he
underwent the ordeal.
A month ago Minnie Parella went
into the cellar of her home, and while
there lighted a match Her dress
caught fire, and when her parents
finally extinguished the flames she
had been badly burned The little
brother of the burned girl was the
first to volunteer, and DR. Peter B.
Gregan, with DR.. Albert Pitts. per-
formed the operation. He did not take
any anaesthetic.

West Orange Baptist Church
to Terminate Its Existence

With the passing of the old year
there will also pass out Of existence
the parish of Emmanuel Baptist
Church, Tompkins street, West Or
ange, and tonight the termination of
the religious worship will be marked
by a Christmas tree for the young
people. An interesting program will
precede the final farewells to the old
structure, which will have passed
into history with the bidding good-by
Of Rev Edward Il. Lowans to his
erstwhile flock.
The church, it is said, has not been
flourishing success at any time, and
interest has been on the wane in the
last few months, indicating there is
no further need of Baptist house of
worship in the valley. Other congre-
cations there, with more ornate struc-
lures and substantial memberships,
however, are enjoying both spiritual
and material success.
