WHATUMACALLEMS IN
MYSTERIOUS SATCHEL

When a patrolman stopped William
Dowie. of Kearny, in the Sipp ave-
nue. tube station, in Jersey city, in
the small hours of the morning and
demanded to know what he was
carrying in the suspicious, bullying
suitcase in his hand, Dowie stam-
-mered that he didn't know. An hour
later, although the bag had been
opened and it's contents examined,
the policeman could not tell what 1t
was he had found in the grip.
Dowie was waiting for a train, un-
mindful of the stolid gaze of the pa
trolman, who eyed his bag. Just as
he was about to step aboard the
train, the heavy hand of the law
grasped Dowie and in whisper the
owner of the hand asked:
whats in the bag?"
Jaw, some 'er 'er, whatchumacal-
lens and 'er, I don't know exactly"
stammered the embarrassed prisoner.
"Well, you can tell it to the SER
geant," replied the unconvineed cop
per.

ABOLISH DEATH-TRAPS

Instructing City Counsel Arthur
Seymour to examine the provisions of
the Fielder bill providing for the
adjustment of grade crossings Tor
the purpose of determining what Is
the best course TO follow, the railroad
committee of the Orange Common
Council last night took the first step
in the fight to have death traps in the
city eliminated Within fortnight
NEGOTIATIONS with the Lackawanna
railroad for the adjustment of the
grades will be opened. it is believed.
The meeting, which was the f1rst
held by the committee since Its Sc
lection in January, WAS held in Sc
cret. 1t is known that a meeting
with the railroad officials has been
practically arranged. All the mem
beers of the committee admitted after
the meeting that the date Mr.. Sey-
mour Is to secure will be discussed
with the Lackawanna officials at the
conference. Another meeting of the
committee will be held when Mr.
Seymour completes his examination
of the bill.
Former Judge Thomas A. Davis
who is chairman of the citizens COM
mittee appointed to agitate the elm
nation of grade crossings in the city
was invited to the meeting, but was
not present. The committee desires
to act slowly on the question and
wants to be guided by the advice Of
City Counsel Seymour. All the mem
bers declared there was no discus
sion on whether the council intends
to demand that the railroads de-
press or elevate the tracks. Former
railroad committees of the council
favored elevation of the tracks.

5-MONTHS BRIDE !
SUES FOR DIVORCE
Welded in November, Mrs.
Person Charges Husband
With Infidelity.

Five months ago Mrs Frederick
Person, then Miss Elizabeth Shaw
Flanders, was happy bride in a
double wedding ceremony at her home
in East Orange. Today she is suing
her young husband for divorce, charg-
ing that he shattered her wedding
dream by drinking to excess and
staying out at night soon after they
were married.
AIR. Person, who Is living with his
mother on the family estate in Up
per Montclair, declares that the
charges are entirely untrue; but Mrs.
Person, who has gone back to her
PARENTS Mr.. and Mrs. William p.
Flanders. 81 Beech street, East Or
ange, insists that they are, and she
further charges that her husband
visited woman in Yves. 18th street,
New York, and that he frequently
went to hotels here and N New Y1tS,
where, she says such low dances as
the Grizzly Bear Turkey Trot' and
Bunny Hug are INDUCED in" This
he also denies.
Mrs Persons was a bride on Mo-
vember IA at a double wedding in
which her sister, MISS margaret ~.
Flanders. was married to Demarest
Lamson. of this city. The two brides
each cut a wedding cake sent to
them by their grandmother, went on
their honeymoon to Atlantic city
together and lived in the same house
in Park avenue, Orange.
Mr.. Person emphatically denies all
his wifes charges. He denies that hs
ever drank to excess, and so far as
his staying out of nights is con-
cerned he says he was often COM
PEELED to do 1t because of his BUSH
ness. The woman Mrs. Person men,
tions. he says he has not been init
mate with. and denies that he has
called on anyone since his marriage.
In explanation of her charge that he
frequented gay hotels and cafes, he
SAYS his business has sometimes COM

counsel and will defend the action.
Mr. Person is in the automobile
business in this city.

Will BORROW FOR
INSPECTION TRIP
Orange counciImen Cannot
Override Mayors Veto at
Special Meeting.

Discovering that it will be illegal
to hold a special meeting for the pur-
pose of overriding Mayor Murray's
veto of the resolution appropriating
81 900 for the trip to Atlanta, Ga, the
Orange Common Council will borrow
money for the expenses so that the
inspection trip can be started on May
g. the date previously selected. This
became known following a confer
enee of a number of the councilmen
and City Counsel Arthur b. Seymour
last night.
1t was the intention of the coun
ell to call the special meeting either
for tonight or Monday night to over
ride the veto, but the legality of this
was questioned and it was agreed
that the safest way to get tn e$1, 900
was to borrow 1t and defer the defeat
of the veto until the next regular
meeting, which will be two weeks
hence President John c. Flneran, it
is said, advised that the trip be de-
layed until after the regular meet
ing, but Councilman Henry T. Stet-
son protested, offering as his reason
the fact that most of the solons have
arranged to make the trip on May g..
1t is understood that Mr.. Stetson
intends to solicit the $1,000 from
some citizen and return the money
after the next meeting of the coun-
ell when the veto message will be
defeated. When this is done the
council can take the money from the
treasury.
Mayor Murray's action, although
expected, has caused some of the
council mebmers considerable worry
as they were in ignorance of the fact
that they could not hold a special
meeting and defeat the veto message.
Most of those who are going on the
trip had all arrangements completed
to leave on May and a number. of
them announced it would be impos-
sible to go If the inspection had to
be delayed.

BOROUGH DEMANDS
SPECIFIED LIGHT
East Newark Will Pay for
Electric Current as
Furnished.

If the Public Service Corporation
can furnish East Newark with cleo
trio lights of 1000 candle power, as
the contract offered to the borough
specifies, East Newark Will pay for
light in that proportion. This was
decided last night at meeting of the
East Newark Borough Council.
It followed the report Of the light
ing committee of the council to the
effect that the lights at the present
time are of 900 candle power. This
is a brand-new turn in the lighting
fight that has been in progress in
West Hudson for more than year.
Although a joint verbal agreement
had been made that the three West
Hudson towns stand together for
cheaper light and that neither enter
into an agreement with the Public
Service for lighting without first con-
sulting with either of the other towns
the Harrison Town Council recently.
and without notifying the other
towns. drew out of the pact and en-
tered into a contract for light.
The discovery of the East Newark
officials and the subsequent admission
of Public Service representatives that
though the contract calls for 1000 C.
p. the real strength of the arcs falls
short of the contract figure to the
extent of 1,4n0 candle power. The
East NewarkS officials have juggled
the matter for some weeks and last
night it was decided to pay only for
what candle power the Public Serv-
ice supplies.
Kearny officials will likely take up
the fight from the angle of the East
Newark agitation. Kearny, though
getting light from the Public Serv-
ice, has not been under contract for
more than a year. Some queer COM
plications are looked for as result
of the discovery of the East Newark
sOlonS.

FOR THE CITY

Mr. Il. w. Dohrmann, the noted San Fran,
10 merchant, gave some very good ideas to the
<inessmen' WHO gathered at the, Commercial
I'D luncheon yesterday to hear his talk. He
tgested good slogan, "The Honor of Our
. Iy Is Ours" He urged unity in civic under
kings, aggressive action to advertise Hawaii's
rms to the world and reap the benefits of
Irist traffic, a cooperation among commercial
terests to make and keep the city clean and
'hntiful and progressive.
His declaration of faith in that apt phrase,
he Honor of Our City Is Ours, is a declalH-
0n against the citizen who allows his city to
M into ways of dishOnor 1t is also a declaIl
6n against the citizen who allows his city to be
|andered, to be wrOngfuly accused, to he i'll
red by evil word or false report. The duty of
|ery resident of Honolulu toward his city is
ro-fold: first, to bend his best efforts toward
6blic improvement, political or otherwise; sec.
IDLY, to guard against Islander and malicious or
byious lies that hurt the citys fair name.
"a good name is rather to be chosen than
eeat riches" both in civic and private life. Tho
tvs good name depends not only on what is
lid outside its gates, but the thousand tongues
report inside it's gates.

The reply Of the negro soldiers to
an invitation to attend a meeting Of
'he other commands at Fort Shafter
last Sunday night was to the effect
mat owing to the recent arrival of
that regiment in the islands and the
amount of work still to do in getting
settled, no delegates could attend Sun
days meeting, but that in future del
egation would be sent to any meetings
held. Furthermore the letter assured
the gathering that the regiment could
be counted upon for a handsome con-
tribution to the SO-called libel fund. At
torney Andrews, who is handling the
case for the soldiers, has started work
on the papers.

rates according to the quantity used.
Having been a membc:' % the BOARD

California, know what am talking
about. Three years ago had meters
installed at my place in Mauoa, With
the result that my water rates have
been cut in half. Every hanest man,
