LEADERS IN ORANGE

Following several futile efforts to
hold meetings in Orange. the leaders
of the Industrial Workers of the
World succeeded in attracting a large
audience at its meeting last night in
New Essex Hall, that city. More than
800 persons were present. most of
whom were Italians and other resi-
dents of the foreign quarter of Or
ange.
The workingmen were addressed by
Arturo Giovanitti, who was tried and
acquitted on a charge of murder dur
ing the strike of the textile workers
at Lawrence, Mass, Other leaders
Joined with him in urging the
foreigners to organize in one body, so
as to make a stronger showing when
they demand their rights. This or
ganization, the leaders declared,
would serve them in time of trouble,
when everyone would quit his position
until their demands were met
1t has been rumored that the l. w.
w. leaders have been planning to or
ganize a strike among the workmen
at the Edison plant in West Orange
Officials of the company have kept
track of the men, to see If they would
form a branch of the I. w. w. AS a
result, there We're few, If any, en-
ployees of the plant present at the
meeting last night
There is also talk of another strike
among the laborers in the Oranges.

REV. M'KEEVER PROTESTS
AGAINST BLASPHEMY

Several prominent speakers ad
dressed the $50 persons who attended
the celebration of the third anniver-
sary of the Holy Name Society OF
st. Rose of Lima's Catholic Church,
held last night in the parish hall.
During the evening a handsome gold
watch and fob were presented to
William c. Kennah, for his long and
faithful service as secretary of the
society.
Rev. James j. McKeever, pastor of
the parish. He also thanked the
members of the society for the large
attendance and expressed the opin-
ion that if the question of taking the
name of God in vain and the ques-
ton of prohibition were before the
Legislature, the former should be
acted upon first.
Father McKeever told of the dim
cuIties he met with when he said his
first mass as pastor of the parish in
1888, and announced that 1t was
through the efforts and generosity of
of former United States Senator
James Smith, jr. that the flourishing
parish of today was started. He add
ed that Mr.. Smith is the greatest
friend and supporter of the Holy
Name Society and the Catholic re-
ligion in this city, and declared that
if there had been men like him in
Ireland in past years that country
would be free today.
The former Senator was among
those seated at the speakers table
Owing to pressure of business, Martin
Conboy, who was scheduled to speak,
was unable TO attend.
The following poem was presented
and read by the Rev. DR.. F. ]. Nc
Hugh, of Seton Hall;
That Sacred Name l breathe it not
Save in the form of prayer.
Within my heart that name enshrined
Betokens loves best care;
To walk the way the Master trod
To bear my cross resigned;
My duties all are His sweet yoke
His life with mine combined
Though passions may within me rage
And vanities allure
That sacred name of Jesus spells
My duty to be pure.
And in my life His life infused
I live, oh no. not /;
But Christ doth live within my heart
And speaks as men pass by
Through me he calls them to his love;
They come as Peter came;
Because / am devout and true
Unto that Holy Name.
John L. O'Toole, publicity agent of
the Public Service Corporation, spoke
on "Holy Name Men" The duties of
these men were not only TO lead clean
lives, but to encourage this in others
he declared The speaker said the
Holy Name societies adopted better
method than compelling men to do
things by law when they appealed
to the mans better side He cited
the great annual rallies of the So
cieties as evidence of the good effect
from this organization.

ANTI-SALOONISTS WIN
SOUTH ORANGE FIGHT

Judge William p. Martin, in Com
mon Pleas Court today, denied appli-
cations for liquor licenses in South
Orange Township applied for by John
Stubenvoll and the Heidelberg Park
and Hotel Company. Both applicants
had the necessary number of signers
on their petitions, but the granting
of them was vigorously opposed
by Fred w. Smith, as counsel for the
anti-saloon residents of the town
ship.
Both saloons are located near the
junction of Valley street and Mill
burn avenue, South Orange township,
and neither was in possession of a
license at the time the application
was made. Mr.. Smith had number
of witnesses at previous hearings on
the applications who testified that it
was their opinion that additional sa-
looms were not a necessity in the To-
cality. Judge Martin today upheld
this view and refused to grant the
licenses.

MILK DIARIES AND BOTTLING
PLANTS ARE INSPECTED

An inspection of seventeen diaries
and ten milk-b ottling establishments
In Irvington was made yesterday by
DR.. Frederick c. Robertson. a State
dairy inspector, in company with
Sanitary Inspector Joseph K.
Clckenger, of the Irvington Board of
Health.
DIR. Robertson declared that the
places considered as whole present
good conditions. A few dairymen
who have been lax in their methods
were told to clean up their surround
ings. Others were compllmented on
the cleanliness of their dairy.
Bottling establishments presented
the worst conditions, and it is in
these places that the State inspectors
said the greatest danger to the health
from contaminated milk lies. DR..
Robertson will order the closing of
several of the bottling places.
The proprietor of each place visited
will be sent a copy of the inspector
report with recommendations for inn
provement. A reinspection will be
made after several weeks, and If the
recommendations have not been met
with, the health board of the town
will be asked to revoke the license of
the proprietor.

advised the Bloomfield Town Council
last night that the Lackawanna rail-
road is exempt from assessment
against its right of way for improve
ment of Molter place under the pro-
visions of the contract with the rail-
road company made in 1910 for the

street concrete curb and gutter, $sO6;

Wood, of Newark, Bay avenue blue

man Harrison opposed this, claiming
that the old bluestone curb is in good
condition in many places. A short
debate was followed by the with
drawing of the motion to award, and
action was deferred until next Mon
day night. Mr.. Harrison has often
laying old curb and walk unless 1t is
absolutely necessary, and has ex-
pressed himself as opposed TO the
methods of the sidewalk committee in
this regard

MOVE" REVEALS
BOYS DROWNING
Fate of Harrison Lad Not
Known Until Chum Sees
Picture Show.

With their 6-year-old son Harry be-
lieved to be lying at the bottom of
the Passaic river, Mr.. and Mrs Henry
Siegel, of 8 Hamilton street, Har-
rison, heartbroken. are unable to eX-
plain to their son Freddy, years
old. why Harry does not come home
with my candy
The younger brother cannot under
stand why his mother and father have
been crying continuously since last
night, but he does know that Harry
promised to bring him candy when
he returned from school yesterday.
The circumstances surrounding the
drowning boy are pathetic. With
William Boeselager, of First street
Harrison, Harry Siegel, after school
yesterday, went to the foot of War
rem street on the Harrison bank of
the Passaic river The lads were
playing for a short time when the
Siegel youngster toppled backward
into the river.
The Boeselager boy. too frightened
to give an alarm, returned home. He
seemed extremely nervous and was
unable to eat any supper, but said
nothing. Last night Mrs. Boeselager
took the boy to a moving picture
the show was thrown film showing
horses wading through water.
Ma, that's the way Harry fell into
the river this afternoon"
This was the first intimation that
Mrs. -Boeselager had that the Siegel
boy was drowned She hurried her
son out of the theatre and questioned
him carefully. Going to her home
her daughter Minnie told her that
Mrs. Siegel had been there a short
time ago, inquiring anxiously for the
lost boy.
Mrs. Boeselager communicated with
the Harrison police. and Patrolman
John Ward went with her and her
Spurs stoneyard, where Willie
showed how his little chum had been
playing in a sand heap and then
fallen overheard.
When the Siegel boy left home for
school yesterday afternoon he told
his mother that he would be late in
coming back because Willie Boese-
lager, whose mother keeps a candy
store at 4 First street, had invited
him to his home and promised him
candy. 1t seems that the two lads
afterward decided to run away to
the stoneyard.
Mrs. Slegel became anxious when
her son did not come home for sup
per, and at o'clock reported his abb
sence TO the police, who then started
a search for him.
Mr.. Siegel is endeavoring to ar
range for the services of a grappler
to search for the boys body.

CANDLE-POWER DEFINED
FOR BOROUGHITES' BENEFIT

What's in a name? This is a ques-
ton the officials of East Newark
would like to have answered. At a
meeting last night Mayor Cornelius
A. McGlennon and members of the
Borough Council quizzed representa-
tives of the Public Service Corpora
ton as to what candlepower the
electric arc lights used in East New
ark give.
In the contract the arcs are re-
ferred to as 1000 candepower
lights The officials believed all
along they were getting light to the
extent as stated in the contract. Last
night their minds were disabused, for
Public Service representatives de-
clared the lamps couldn't possibly
give 2,000-candlepower light, and that
the term -candlepower is only a
trade name. The candlepower Of the
arcs is about 900, 1t is stated.
The officials deferred action on the
matter of entering into contract
and will consider the ACCESSIBILITY of
having flaming arcs installed along
Central avenue, the main thorough

it does not necessarily follow that
your kidneys are diseased. Maybe
the trouble is caused by nervous de-
bility, owing to the fact that the line
of communication between the brain
and the kidneys has become deranged.
If this is the case, the cause can be
quickly removed by the new tonic.
iona Vita, which will once more put
the brain in direct charge of the kid
neys and other organs. Hundreds of
users of TQpa Vita have been restored
to health when they thought they
were suffering from some organic dis
ease that would necessitate trip to
the operating table.
iona Vita can be obtained from Z.
r. Petty Drug Company in Newark
A few of the symptoms which users
of iona Vita have testified they were
suffering from are loss of appetite,
poor memory, loss of weight morbid
imagination, sense of heaviness about
the bowels, pains in the back and
spine, numbness in the limbs and that
general rundown feeling.

Ambitious Plans foE Schools

With varying maiorities the several
propositions submitted by the West
Orange School Board to the voters of
the town were approved at the an

cluded the extensive plans of the
educators for auRmenting the school
system by erecting a handsome high
school and auditorium; putting fire

Fought New School.
While the vote was Overwhelmingly
in favor of the various propositions,
those opposed to spending money
made their principal fight against the
new high school which Is to replace
the CASTOR street building destroyed
by fire. The heaviest tally of the OPP
position was 165 on the section pro-
viding for Issuance of $4,000 bonds,
which sum is to be placed with $50. :
600. secured as insurance on the
burned building, for the new high
school and auditorium.
The residents who favor the board s
plans for ornate structures, however,
were In a majority of exactly two to
one, and tailed $50 votes, their mini
mum voting strength.
These figures also indicated the
alignment on the proposition to put
FIRE escapes on the Hazel Avenue and
washington Street schools. The
strange circumstance of so many per-
sons refusing to vote for an expendi-
ture of but $4,000 to make the two
schools safe in the event of fire caused
much comment There were 1903 vot-
ers who used the caption against

ballot, but All were IN favor anu car

The dangers to the large schools
were frequently referred to by public
speakers, following the lesson of the

South side residents of the town IA
voring the project, the proposition to
buy a lot at Walker road and Greg
DRY avenue for $4,000 and put s16,-

oped the major strength of the oppo-
sition. The vote against the new
school was las, with 377 in favor of it.
Even the perfunctory items for the
tax levy including $4,000 for repairs,
$37, 800 COR current expenses and
So. 200 for manual training, got forty
five negative votes.
The school officials today stated
that the opposition was chiefly led by
the councilman, Thomas Drummond,
who openly distributed tickets marked
in favor of current expenses and
against all the other items There
was active work by friends of the
project, however, and automobiles
were rushed to the polls with enthusi-
astic voters who supported the am
bilious plans of the board for inn
provements and new structures.
