PROPRIETOR TAKES
STAND IN BROAD
HOTEL RAID CASE
Judge Osborne Announces He
Will Not Hold Court Ses=
sion Tomorrow.


George E. Mausert. proprietor of
the Hotel Broad, took the Witness
stand in his own behalf in Quarter
Sessions Court before Judge Harry
V. Osborne just before the noon hour
today and at once plunged into ex-
plantations under guidance of Frank
E. Bradner, his counsel, tending TO
show that the Hotel Broad was not
maintained as a disorderly house,
Mausert having been on trial on
charges to that effect all this week.
Mausert's testimony in brief as far
as his direct examination had pro-
ceeded up TO l O'Clock. when court
took an hours recess for lunch, was
denial that disorderTy conduct had
ever been permitted at the hotel with
his knowledge. He also stated that
he had given all his employees in
structions TO see that order was
maintained in the hotel at all times.
On direct examination Mausert
made good witness and seemed will
ing and anxious to throw light on
everything connected with the opera
tion of the hotel. He said he had
not issued any orders against women
being served alone in the restaurant.
and said they were served with any
thing they wanted TO eat or drink as
long as they behaved themselves.
Early in his examination Mausert
described the sleeping rooms of the
hotel and their locations. He calico
attention to the fact that there was
no room in the house numbered 'lS,
remarking everybody seemed to be
suspicious about number '13."
Some one sitting at the counsel
table remarked that today was Fri
day, the 18th. and that the year was
1913. while Mausert was testifying
in the thirteenth hour of the day.
Mausert overheard the remark and
replied: I'm little suspicious about
the day myself" very evidently re-
ferring to the fact that he was trying
to clear himself of serious charges on
the fateful day.
He stated that there were thirty
nine sleeping rooms in the hotel and
admitted that at times some of them
had been rented to women alone. Mr.
Bradner, who opened up a wide line
of inquiry in his questions, asked:
Were any of these ever women that
could be called of bad character"
Ordered Women Out.
Il have had women there that were
not of good character" frankly re-
piled the witness, ''but as soon as
their character was discovered l or
dered them from my hotelp
Asked about regulations in regard
to the renting out of rooms, he replied
that his instructions We're TO use good
Judgment at all times, and especially
in regard to renting rooms TO women
of doubtful character and girls of
tender age.
Have you ever seen women of
bad character in your dining-room ?"
asked Mr.. Bradner.
"Yes, SIR" was the reply.
what course did you pursue in
regard to them," was the next ques-
ton.
Nothing except to order them
watched and if they misbehaved TO
order them from the hotel" was
Mauserts reply.
"Has there ever been any misbe-
haviour?"
And again Mausert, in all frank

MAYOR AND PARADE
MARSHAL IN TILT
Refusal to Alter Plans for East
Orange Semi Centennial
Causes Row.

The fireworks" for the semi-ccn-
exploded eight hours ahead OF time
today, when Colonel George P Oh
colt, marshal of the parade, which
is the principal event scheduled on
the program, announced that he
would not extend the line of march
to include streets in the lower sec
tion of the city.
Ten minutes later he was engaged
in a heated argument with Mayor
Julian A. Gregory and Councilman
George A. Grover, during which the
executive declared he would not par
ticipate in the pageant If 1t were not
for the fact that he is mayor of the
city. Councilman Grover, who rep
resents the Fifth ward, threatened
to call an Indignation meeting FOR
the business men of the eastern sec
| tiop.
Police Commissioner Alonzo n. Mes
ser, who conducts one of the largest
boarding houses in the city. says he
| will take down the decorations from
his building because the parade will
not pass through the section
Red-hot Arguments.
The argument between the officials
and Colonel Olcott occurred in the Of
flee of City Clerk Lincoln E. Rowley
Mayor Gregory learned of the an
nouncement a few minutes after Mr..
Olcott was interviewed regarding the
line of march by newspaper men.
LI,,,. tn, ho hp az
ecutive approached Mr.. Olcott with
fire in his eyes.
Are you going to have the parade
pass through the lower section of the
city?" was the first question he
hurled at the colonel.
THE line of march will not be
changed" shot back the colonel.
Your stand is ridiculous" snapped
the executive. Il have not made a
single suggestion regarding the ar
rangements of this entire affair other
than to ask that the parade pass
through the streets in the lower Sec
ton. | cannot understand why this
entire affair was left in the hands of
single individual. If l held any
office other than mayor | would

he said.
Refuses to Change Plans.
Incensed at these remarks Colonel
Olcott declared he did not care
whether every official in the city
withdrew from the parade.
When the executive left the office
Councilman Grover appeared and the
argument was sent up to fever heat
when the official shouted; This IS
one-man power"
Don't you dare question my IN
tegrity,' shouted Colonel Olcott.
There is no politics in this affAir.
Mr. Grover asked the colonel why
the parade was going to pass along
Central and Park avenues. Why.
these are county roads," he said.
1T makes no difference" shot back
Mr.. Olcott, "the people of East Orange
will be the principal ones to beneht
by the affair"
The men were on the verge of in
dulglng in personalities when Colonel
dIcott shouted that nothing could in
| duce him to change the line of march
and that the parade would take place
il he and few military organiza-
tions were the only ones to partici-
pate. Mr.. Grover walked out of the
rbom.
