PROBATION COSTS
VOTES, SAYS JUDGE
Warns Prisoners of Disfran-
chisement Unless Pardons
Court Restores Suffrage.

Persons placed on probation SEN
fences by the county judges are
barred the tight of ballot for all
time unless the sentence is set aside
by padon by the Court Of Pardons.
| That point was brought out yester-
! day afternoon by Judge William T.
Martin when he sentenced Harry
Weideman, Hairy White and Elmer
Richardson, three Irvington lads, to
three-year probation terms for rob-
belly.
The lads are not yet voters, but in
imposing the sentence, Judge Martin
called the attention to the fact that
the young men were DISTINGUISHED for
all time unless at some later time
action was taken by the Court of
Pardons to put e their records. Judge
Martin also called attention to the
same fact in the case of Wardell
Baldwin, a negro, of voting age, who
was also placed on probation.
Charles p. Thelen, former
policeman, attached to the First
precinct, was placed on probation
on a charge of wife desertlon, the
probation sentence being contigent on
that fact that Thelan was to be
turned over to an officer from the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, who took
sertion of his wife on March last,
Thelen enlisted in the navy and is
now facing a court mai tial for vio-
lation of the Through regulations.
William Wurst, convicted several
times of assault and battery, was
sent to the Caldwell penitentiary for
one veal.
The following were placed on pro-
baton yesterday: Philip Bener, as
sault and battery; Harry Runyon,
embezzlement and also a charge of
wife desertion; Charles White. lar
ceny; Eugene Hanson, assault and
battery. John Keavney, attempted
suicide.
In. the case of John H. Farrell, a
teamster, who was tried last week
for committing an assault on Otto
Hochdale during the teamsters strike
of December, 1912, Judge Martin said
he believed the law was fully vindi-
Gated by the conviction and that JUS
tice would be served by the 'mposi-
ton of fine. He then fined Farrell
500 and costs. amounting to about $780,
The fine was paid.

AGAINST ORDERL|ES
City Hospital Employees Ac-
cused of Playing Joke" With
Mans Body.

Charles Il. Talbot, superintendent of
the City Hospital, declared today that
he would make a thorough inVestiga-
lion into the report of alleged indignt-

This man whose name he did not
know, told Mr.. Taylor later that he
had left the morgue room for few
moments, and when he returned the
body had disappeared from its resting
place The man, according to Mr..
Taylor, said that when he cried out
with fear and surprise two orderlies
laughed at him.
The watcher then said he found the
body sitting on a chair in a corner
of the room. 1t is said that the or
derlies later placed the corpse back
to it's former resting place.
When Super ntendent Talbot heard
of the affair he said:
'I can hardly credit such an ac-
eusation against employees in this
hospital. l will make a thorough in
vestigation and If the guilty parties
are found they will be punished if it's
n my power to do So"
Mr.. Talbot called on Mr.. Taylor to-
day, but could not learn the name OF
the man who watched the body. A
committee has been appointed from
among the members of the Bedford
Street Synagogue who will investi-
| gate the affair.

Fire OF Unknown Origin
Destroys Harrison House

A fire that broke out early today In
the one-story building at Passaic and
Cleveland avenues, Harrison, prac.
tically destroyed the structure. which
had been occupied by the New Jersey
Importing and Exporting Company,
wine dealers. The origin of the fire
is unknown. When the fire was at
its height a Turnpike trolley car
passed over the streams of hose In
Harrison avenue, cutting the hose.
The. fact that the water pressure
was high precluded the possibility
of the firemen being hampered to
any noticeable extent because of the
accident. 1t was because of the ex-
cellent pressure that the f1remen were
able to prevent the flames from being
communicated to other buildings. The
storehouse, because of the infiam-
mable material stored there, proved
easy prey to the flames. The loss is
unknown

Glen Ridge Fire Company
Asks for Automobile Truck

At meeting of the Glen Ridge Bor-
ough Council last night Lincoln Hook
and Ladder Company asked that they
be given an automobile truck with 200
feet of ladder to replace the horse
drawn vehicle now in use. The COM
pany stated that since they were or
gained in 1896 there had been num-
Der of two-family houses and three
school buildings erected in the bor-
ough, and that with the facilities now
in hand 1t was almost impossible to
afford good protection, as the chem
ical engine, which is motor driven,
reached the fire far ahead of them.
The Firemen's Association received
check for $25 from the Glen Ridge
Realty Company for good work done
at fire in the Glen Ridge Stores
building some months ago.
The water committee reported that
there were fifteen residents who had
not paid their water bills for FIVE
months. The delinquents were given
until December 20, after which date

AUTO FIRE ENGINE
FIRM IS BANKRUPT

With liabilities estimated to exceed
$50, 900, the Dixon Cascade Pump
Company. of Badger avenue and Run
yon street, has suspended business
and gone into bankruptcy. Lack of
capital and slow payment on the out
standing accounts is attributed as
the cause of the failure.
The assets of the Dixon Company,
1t is declared, will not exceed $4,000
The company manufactured motor
propelled fire trucks and engines One
of their products was delivered to the
city of Newark last Thursday, and
another is under construction for the
city of Spring Valley.
The concern was thrown into bank
ruptcy by George Fursr. an attorney
of this city representing the Essex
Storage Battery Company, the Cen
eral Electric Inspection Company of
New York City and William Fl Dixon,
also of this city The total claims Of
the three petitioning creditors will
exceed $4,000.
The petition in bankruptcy was
filed by Attorney Furst yesterday in
the United States District Court in
Trenton and Bankruptcy Referee
Edwin G. Adams appointed Aquilo
n Nenino, a local attorney, as re-
ceiver. The petition was an involun-
tary one, but the officers of the COM
pany consented to an immediate adj
jodication.
The directors of the company held
meetings on November and Decem-
Der 4, and after vainly trying to raise
more capital issued a statement de-
claring that they could not pay their
Debts.
The company owns the real estate
on which the factory is located, but
it is encountered to the extent of
$4,000, leaving an est mlted equity OF
about $4,000
