many things, such as dinner time and

When the call failed for the first

went to the Turks room. on the bed

CHIEF OPPOSES GRANTING
OF A B0TTLlNG LICENSE

Chief of Police William Fl. O'Neill
is opposing the granting of a license
by the East Orange Excise Board
next Wednesday night TO Joseph MUIR
ray at "a Jones street. Mr.. Murray
recently was employed as bartender
for his uncle, Andrew J. Murray, at
Main street and Ashland avenue, and
month ago put in his application to
the board for bottling license to dis
tribute in the city.
The opponents Of the plan are try
ing to interest the Federation of Mems
Clubs. and one of their arguments Is
that the place will be in the negro
district, and that while the applicant
is not seeking to sell any liquor at his
establishment, to be drunk on the
premises. there might be tempta-
ton. They also advance an objection
because a school is within block and
two churches are within three blocks.
All of the directors say they have
nothing personally against Mr. MUIR
ray, but that they want to keep the
number of licensed places down in the
city.

Mayor Corrects Statement.
After giving out the letter of Mr.

Mayor Gregory said he had been mis-
quoted on Thursday by some news
papers. who gave their readers the
statement that he had changed his at
titude on the question and was now
for the elimination of the crossings
through elevation. 1t was at Madison.
where the mayor was a speaker on
Wednesday evening, that the question
was discussed and the executive said
he had given short explanation of
the situation and told what had been
done in the way of negotiations and
attempted negotiations.
