COMMENT


Magnanimity and unselfishness have not
hitherto been brought to the attention OF the
public as attributes Of Colonel Theodore Roose-
velt and yet it seems that they prominent
characteristics of that great and glorious soul.
How else explain the colonel's action at Clinton
Hall, New York; A play. Galsworthy
Presenting a Plan for the Reforming Of the
Courts was being presented. Colonel Roosevelt
was in the audience. and of course. the audience
knew II. Nobody paid any attention TO the
play, but all watched the colonel with that
keenness Of interest with which watches
the wild man of Borneo There was every in
dication that Mr.. .Galsworthys valuable preach
ment on the way to reform the courts would
be absolutely lost and ignored. The colonel,
however, saved the situation. AT the end of the
frst act he got up and left
Perish the thought that the colonel was
hRred by the play! Rather assume that he de
pfived himself Of intellectual joy because he
was unwilling that great lesson should be
lost 10 the people and count henceforth among
his virtues the GROWING virtue of self-saCrifce.

COUNCIL, IN WOODLANDS
ROLE, SPARES OLD TREE

The plea of Robert NJ. Boyd, sr..
of Montclair. for a stately elm tree
sixty feet high and two and a half
feet in diameter. caused the Mont
clair Town Council last night to halt
in its action to lay concrete side
walk on the southerly side of Roose-
welt place from South Fullerton ave-
nue. to South Willow street.
Mr. Boyd in a communication to
the council stated that he was the
owner of all the property on that
side of the street. and that there
were no houses on it, the property
being used N connection with his
residence on South Fullerton avenue.
That there was walk on the north
erly side of the street which was
used by pedestrians and the necessity
Tor a walk on the southerly side was
not commensurate with the destruc
tiop of the stately old elm tree. The
council referred the matter to the
road committee.

IRWNGTON PROBE
OF PEEL CHARGE
Council Will Look Into Claim
That Assessor Used High
Handed" Methods.

An investigation Of the charge OF
using "high-handed methods" made
against Tax Assessor c. William Pfell
has been instituted by the Irvington
Town Council This action was de-
cided upon at a meeting last night
after a motion to investigate had been
made by Councilman Louis G. Brei-
tenbach. who claimed Pfeil had also
lied" TO him At the next meeting
the chairman of the committee on tax
and assessments will maize a report
of mis- investigation.
Councilman Breitenbach alleged
that Pfeil is discriminating in his
work and is "pot-luckp in his meth
DDS He further said that he had
discovered that "the clerk has as
sessed a $3.50 automobile for $1,000
$3.50 auto for $1,000 and a $4,000
car for $500. and on ono occasion an
almost useless car for $780,
"If his (Pfeirs) work is open and
above board. why did he lie to me.
said Councilman Breitenbach last
night. ''Pfeil told me that the cards
he sent out to persons notifying them
what value he was going 10 place on
their property were practically all the
same. and yet | found this discrimi-
nation, to which I am willing and
ready to make affidavit at any time.
Councilman Frank r. Sharp spoke
in defense of Mr.. Pfeil, and claimed
that the board had no power to order
an investigation and could only do
so when the clerk makes his report
and hands over his tax duplicates.
He praised Pfeil for his work and
claimed that heI was accomplishing
much good for the town.
Despite Councilman Sharp's objec-
tons and vote the council passed the
order ordering an investigation by
vote of to |. The report of the in
vestigation will be made at the next
meeting. Three members of the

COUNCIL IN TILT
OVER MANIPULATE
Irvington Fire Truck Sign Costs
Four Dollars and Some
Trouble.

A sarcastic and interesting discus
sion followed the presentation of a
bill of 81 to the Irvington Town Coun-
Gil last night for a name plate which
has been placed on the rebuilt auto
fire truck. The plate was ordered by
Councilman Frank R. Sharp, chair
man of the fire committee, and con-
tains the names of Fireman Harold
F'lues, who rebuilt the truck: Chief
Herbert J. Groom, Mayor David II.
Greene and Mr.. Sharp.
Councilman Louis G. Breitenbach
declared that the bill should not be
paid by the town because the plate
was not ordered by the Council.
IF your name was on the plate it
would be all right" replied Mr.. Sharp.
at is mighty small matter to make
a fuss over and don't believe the
townspeople would ever put W any
kick about it. If you are so obstinate
in the matter I will pay the bill my
self"
60 ahead and pay forit then" re-
torted Mr.. Breitenbach. That "a be-
longs to the people of the town. We
aren't spending our own money"
II think the bill had better be held
up" remarked Councilman Leonard
Setaro, who was chairman of the
meeting in the absence of Mayor
Greene.
, 'I protest such action" emphati-
cally answered MIR. Sharp. mo man
had more compliments for that ma
chine than Mr., Breitenbach.l The
plate was put on there more in honor
of Flues than anyone else. Such
plates are on all fire apparatus IN
other towns. I'll have my name taken
off and Mr.. Breitenbachs put on, then
perhaps ne will approve the bill The
mayor put me at the head of the fire
committee and If you think / am
coming here to ask permission to do
what I think is my right and duty,
you are mistaken. Petty jealousy is
back of this whole thing,
People would think I was crazy

had my name put on them, yet it's

Don't do that. it wouldn't look

| tors

H0teIman's Death Causes
Change in City's Ordinance

The death of Dennis A. Farrell, a
Montclair hotelkeeper after he had
applied for the renewal of his license
last June and before the application
was acted on. caused the Town Coun-
Gil last night to amend the excise or
dinance The amendment provides for
the filing of applications on or before
the first Monday in May instead of
June as heretofore. and further pro-
vides that when an applicant dies or
becomes incapactated before the APP
plication is acted on another person
Or persons may apply. within a rea-
sonable time. for the renewal of such
license. and the council may in its
discretion grant such renewal
1t is believed that the amendment
was passed in the interests of Far
rel's widow, who viii likely apply for
a renewal of the license now that the
ordinance is amended Anticipating
such action the Council of Philan-
thropy of Montclair filed an objection
last night to the granting of license
TO Farrells place, which is located
at the corner of Glen Ridge avenue
