DELAYS
P. 0. APPOINTMENT
Bloomfield Office Still Held by
Republican While Demo-
Gratis Wrangle.

Citizens of Bloomfield are wondering
what is causing the delay in the ap-
pointment of postmaster in Bloom
field, to succeed Herbert c. Farrand,
Republican, whose term expired on
June last. or more than four months
ago.
There is curiosity to know who is
responsible for holding up the ap-
pointment.
Congressman Eugene F. kinkead
about three months ago recommended
Edward F. Higgins TO Postmaster
General Burleson for the Office and he
In turn sent the name of Mr.. Higgins
to President Wilson. Then the friends
of James w. Crisp and George Idle
got busy and pressure was brought
to bear on the President and he de-
clined to send the name of Mr.. Hig-
gins to the Senate for confirmation.
His only reason, it is said, was that
MIR. Higgins is a nephew of Michael
n. Higgins. Democratic leader in
Bloomfield and who has always been
a regular The latter, however, Sc
cured a hall at his own expense and
induced Mr. Wilson to visit Bloom
field during his campaign for Cover
nor and was supporter of Mr.. Will
son in his campaign for President
Messrs. Crisp and Idle We're also ar
dent supporters of Mr.. Wilson in both
campaigns. Mr.. Idle is backed by
Judge James p. Mylod, while Mr..
Crisp has the support of the Wood
row Wilson League. of which he is
an officer. Both were confident of re-
ceiving the appointment especially
after the President had declined to
name Mr.. Higgins.
Recently United States Senator
James e. MARITIME is quoted as saying
that he did not believe an appoint
ment would be made for some time.
Congressman Kinkead is still firm in
his opinion that he will land MIR.
Higgins.

BANKRUPT LOSES
EXEMPTION FIGHT
Referee Adams Gives Decision
Against Sanford Cook in Con-
test on Furniture.

Bankruptcy Referee Edwin G.. Ad-
ans today signed an order upholding
the contention advanced by William
ford C. Cook bankrupt, of East Or
ange, was not entitled to exemption
on his household furniture, which at
the time of his adjudication was mort
gagged for $500 to his sister, Mrs. Helen
C. Logan, also of East Orange.
Mr.. Cooks liabilities exceeded
$1,000. and In his schedules he claimed
o assets. At recent examination,
however. it was discovered that his
household furniture was mortgaged
to his sister. The mortgage was
found to be defective and Referee
Adams set it aside
Thereupon Mr. Cooks wife claimed
ownership of the furniture. saying
she paid for 1t, and tried to estab-
fish ownership. She failed. however,
according to the referees opinion,
VINO decided that the property be-
longed to the bankrupt.
At this stage, the bankrupt retained
Nathan Bidder, of Bidder e. Bilder to
represent him, and Mr. Bilder imme-
C1dttiS SCI up d Cidi OhSthPttoh
on a part of the furniture allowed I'M
der the bankruptcy law. Although
the furniture was mortgaged at $500,
the appraisers valued it at only $2s6.
Attorney Dowd, ON behalf of Will
lam p. Sutherland, the trustee, OPP
posed the exemption on the ground
that the bankrupt was entitled to ex-
emption privileges on property sub
ject to mortgage at the time of his
adjudication. He called attention to
the fact that the furniture is now In
storage and subject to charges ex-
ceeding $50.
If the bankrupt Is allowed to ex-
empt his 5000 worth provided for by
law. Attorney Dowd pointed out there
will be practically nothing left for
the creditors to divide.
Attorney Bilder claimed that 1t
was the trustees duty to provide for
the exemption as the bankrupt de-
sired unless the creditors objects. A
lively argument ensued in which both
attorneys advanced very strenuous
arguments.
Referee Adams said he would re-
serve decision In the matter. and gave
the. attorneys permission to submit
further briefs or parts OF the record
of testimony at previous hearings Oh
evidence In the case.
Both sides submitted several paral-
lei cases, and today, after an exhaust
i've examination of the evidence and
facts at hand. Referee Adams handed
down a decision In favor of Attorney
Dowd's contention and disallowing
the exemption.
The trustee filed a report saying
he found no ground on which the
bankrupt should be granted an exemp-
stion.

keeping the dogs in town fro barking.

that the people on Hillside avenue
were not annoyed by barking doris
any any more than people in other
parts of the town, and that the usual
procedure was to take the matter to

pressed a desire that il the people of
the town had anything against their
neighbors that they would seek salts
faction themselves and not ust the

dents about the condition of some
thing on their neighhors' property and
upon investiga ting he found the COM
plants wholly unjustified.
