PUBLIC SERVICE
FIGHTS FOR TRACK

A public hearing will be held before
the Montclair Town Council on Mon
day evening. May 2s, on the appii-
cation of the Public Service railway
to place additional tracks across the
sidewalk in Bloomfield avenue west
of Bell street. These are needed 80
that the company may use large
tract of land which 1t owns as a
storage yard for its cars. The COM
pany asserts that the limit of
capacity of Its present car barn east
of Bell street has been reached and
unless its car storage is increased 1t
will be impossible to give Montclair
better service. The company now has
four tracks crossing the sidewalk to
its present car barn. and agrees to
remove two of them. providing 1t is
allowed to place two tracks leading
to It's other property.
1t is understood that large dele
CATION of property-owners in the
of Bloomfield avenue
and Bell street will be present to
object to the granting of the COM
pany's request and will assert that
the use of the company's property as
a storage yard will depreciate prop
erty In the vicinity. 1t Is believed
that there would be only slight objec-
ton to the erection of a similar car
barn to the one now in use, the main
objection being to an open yard
stored with cars.
The company in It's application
agrees to build a high brick wall
two sides of the property and
a fence on the other two sides. Two
similar applications made by the
within the last three years
have been negatived. but there is a
sentiment in the present Council
favorable to granting the request.
Some persons argue that the Coun-
Gil has no right to ppevent the conn
pany using it's property, which 1t cam
not do, unless permission is granted
to lay the tracks. Others argue that
If additional storage room is needed
it should be provided at the end of
the line in Caldwell.

AS. FIRE CHAIRMAN
w. Arthur Babson, of South
Orange, Protests Against
Mr.. Lovatt's Act.

contending that the action of the
acting president. Frederick ]. Lovatt,
in removing him from membership
on the fire COMMITTEES, of which ne
had been chairman for the last year,
was discourteous, Village Trustee w.
Arthur Babson, of South Orange, is
awaiting the arrival of President
Francis Speir from a two months
STAY in Europe. Mr.. Babson was de-
posed as head of the fire committee
nv Mr.. Lovatt at the organization
meeting of the trustees last week,
when Mr.. I.ovatt was named acting
president in the absence of Mr.. Speir.
Mr.. Babson was not present at the
organization meeting.
Mr.. Babson today declared that he
was nor even aware of the fact that
Mr.. Lovatt was going to name the
standing committees. He said he
believed that the appointment of
committees should be deferred until
President Speirs return. Mr.. Lovatts
act in removing him as head OF the
fire committee and even from MEM
bership, he said. he regarded as un-
called for. The trustee said that Act
ing President Lovatt had not con-
ferred with him on the proposed
change. He maintains he was entire
ly unaware of any change until arter
his removal. Mr.. Babson was named
as chairman of the building COM
mittee by Mr.. Lovatt.
While Mr.. Babson says he Will not
attempt to be again placed on the
fire committee, he maintains some OF
his friends will speak to President
Speir regarding the action.
Mr. I,oyatt according to Mr.. BAD
son. "had no right" to remove him as
chairman of the fire committee. He
saws he VISA removed with his Work
on that body half finished. He con-
tends that he was ready as chairman
of the committee to recommend the
appointment of q paid fire CHER az
the next meeting. Because of Mr.
I,ovatts action, however, he says, ne
will not make any commentators
at the meeting next Monday night
which will be the first regular ses-
sion since the Election last month.
Asked who his choice for the CHIEF
ship was, Mr.. Babson said he was
ready to recommend the appointment
of william M. Ash to the office at a
salary of 500 month, and Edward J.
Price as assistant chief. He would
also have moved next Monday had
he been continued chairman, that
the new fire ordinance introduced q
month ago be adopted. This ordin-
ance would require reorganization
of the fire department.
Graham H. Brewer who~succeeded
Mr.. Babson as chairman of the fire
committee, doesn't want to job" MT
Babson says. Summed up, Mr.. Bah
son says, it appears that now when
the work of recognizing the fire de-
partment has been about completed
an attempt is being made to take
credit from him.
There was a rumor today in Soutf
Orange that Edward ] Price is te
be named chief and Charles Searles
foreman. The meeting Monday nigh
promises to be lively session.

ORANGE FREEZING OUT
BULL MOOSE ADHERENTS

A meeting of Republicans forming
the Republican Club of Orange will
be held next Thursday night to adopt
the constitution and bylaws of the
organization and to elect officers.
The bylaws provide that members
shall be required to pledge them
selves to support the ticket of the
regular party. Without this pledge
none will be elected to membership.
1t is believed that Postmaster Ed
ward S. Perry, the recognized party
leader, will be chosen as president,
an office he held in the club before
it's disarmament four months ago.
The purpose of the disbandment> of
the club, it is thought, was to freeze

themselves with the bull moose
forces. Notices of the meeting will
be sent out by committee to those
who are believed to be regular Re
publicans.

SEEKING REVENGE,
STOPS HAT PLANT
Discharged Employee OF No
Name Company Sewers Pow
err Transmitting Gable.

Charging the prisoner with paralyz-
inc the entire machinery in the No
Name Hat Manufacturing Company
nlant. south jefferson and Mitchell
streets, Orange, in revenge for being
dismissed from his position, John J.
Booth. vice-president of the con-
Germ and vice-president Of the Or
ange Board of Education, yesterday
caused the arrest of Harry ]. Losey'
~ 40 Gray street. this city. fhis
morning. Judge E. w. Woodman held
I.osey in $1,000 bail for the action Of
the grand jury. The case. according
10 the notice, was an unusually des-
nerate one. They allege that Losey'
who was dismissed from employment
Wednesday morning, climbed through
q window. early Wednesday evening
and cut a rope cable which aids IN
transmitting power from the engines
to the back-shop machinery sew
eral hundred employees were thrown
out of work yesterday as a result
of the cut cable and the police say
the company was very fortunate that
the machinery did not get more than
a few minutes start prior to the
severance of the cable.
Rope Parts at Once.
The rope, which is a heavy one.
was slashed so that only a few
strands held it in place and few
revolutions of the ponderous ma
chinery caused it to part. The engi-
neer stopped his engines at once and
members of the firm sent for a man
from Brooklyn to examine the rope.
Have YOU a strike here2" was his
first comment upon finding the rope
had been tempered with, and, after
dismissing the employees, the firms
officials notified the police.
Chief John Drabell, Detective
Thomas J. Brown and Sergeant
Eugene Fineran acted at once. Wit
nesses were found who assert they
saw Losey walk down path to the
rear of the back shop, then enter.
He was inside a few minutes, and
was then seen TO leave the structure.
AS the witnesses were not aware Of
the mans dismissal, they paid no
attention to his unusual method of
entry and departure, and assumed he
went to the shop to attend to repairs
until the police questioned them.
Employee Many Years.
Losey had been an employee for
many years and was dismissed
Wednesday as a result of dissatis-
faction with his services. He was
found in Orange last night by the
three officials who had searched sew
eral hours for him after Commits
sioner Booth swore out a warrant
for his arrest. He formerly resided
in Orange and West Orange and had
taken up his residence with his wife
and family in the. Roseville section
some two months ago.
Losey denied the allegation of tam
pering with the rope and pleaded
not guilty when aTraigned today.
Several insurance men called at the
police station this morning and as
sured Judge Woodman they would
get the security required for his re-
lease.
