onstration.

At the request of citizens the Belle-
vile. Board of Health will appeal to
the Town Council not to use water
from the Passaic river In a test of a
fire apparatus next Saturday. The
protests were made on the ground
that 1t would be insanitary and a
menace to health.
Cornelius j. Conlin and Theodore
L. Browe, both of William street,
declared that they voiced the senti-
ments of the citizens residing in the

ed for the test in protesting against
the river water being used. The Town

tests with different machines have
been made.

Kearny Couple Say 1t Is Better
Than Taking a
Vacation.

The sight of an actress and an
actor welding a hammer in real
work is something seldom to be seen.
To those who would enjoy witnessing
such a spectacle an open invitation
is extended to visit Is Tappan street,
Kearny, where Mr.. and Mrs. Horace
Wright, prominent in stagedom, are
building a two-story extension to
their home

How could it be otherwise? Mrs.

active part in the building is shown
by her blistered hands. ''Ishabibble,"
she plped as she looked at the
blisters.

heard her husband refer to the fact
that an extension was necessary. He
declared he would get carpenter to
do the job. why not let us get to-
gether and do some real work.
asked the pretty wife. Mr.. Wright
looked upon the proposition as a
Joke. His wife was Insistent, how
ever and she finally prevailed upon
her husband to agree to let her help.
She Drew the Plans.
Mrs. Wright drew out the plans.
Her idea of architecture amazed
her husband. Seeing she was IN
earnest, Mr. Wright called off the
proposed trip. Lumber was procured
and the work was started. In every
manner possible Mrs. Wright mas
aided her husband. Swinging scar
folds, placing ladders and handling
the mean, splintery wood never
feazed her for minute.
Mrs. Wright was singing at her
work when a reporter called today.
1--WE expect to have everything IN
readiness before we leave on the
winter Wheel" she said as she mount
ed a ladder to do some painting. In
stead of the harsh passages that
sometimes occur between "regular"
carpenters, it is a case of hand me
the hammer, dearie," etc.
Actors as a rule are superstitions,
but Mr.. Wright proved there isn't
such thing in his makeup. Boldly
he walked under the ladder from
which his wife was welding the paint

Travelled extensively. Like her hus-
band she has played to crowded
houses in all the large cities of the
country. She possesses charming

Three years study in Germany aided
her in her accomplishments. Mr..

RETAINING WALL TROUBLE
MAY BE ENDED FOR $3.50

The old controversy between Mar
tin l.. Brennan, contractor of Or
ange, and City Engineer Crane, con-
corning bill for extra work in the
retaining wall at the Orange munich
pal light plant, appears to be near
settlement. if the rumor current to-
day proves true. 1t is said that the
Orange Common. Council has pre-
vailed upon the contractor to accept
a compromise of his bill of $3.50.
When the contractor rendered this
bill to the city more than year ago
he claimed it was for extra work not
included in the original contract. The
city engineer disagreed and refused to
sanction the bill. AS his approval of
such bills is necessary before pay
ment, the Council could not order it
paid. 1t is now rumored that the con-
tractor and engineer have agreed on
a compromise.

HARRISON WILL TRY TO
GET RID OF OLD STACKS

Delapidated buildings which are
considered eyesores was again dis
cussed by the Harrison Town Coun-
ell last night. For more than year
Fire Chief Charles Johnson has made
comments monthly In his reports to
the council. He has been urging the
council either to have the buildings
demolished or to compel the owners
to place the buildings in good shape.
Councilman Edward ]. Rice took
a. fling at the question last night. He
declared the matter has come up
month after month and practically
no attention has been paid. He said
the situation is a serious one. Mayor
Joseph P Riordan explained he had
received letters complaining of Ger
tain of the buildings and he, too,
declared something should be done to
remedy matters. Councilman Clar-
ence T. Van Deren said under the
present conditions the structures
complained of would have to be de-
clared nuisances by the court before
any action could be taken.
The building committee, with In
spector Daniel r. Maher and Town
Counsel Michael T. and Hugh C.
Barrett, will consider possible pro-
cedure.

HIT MONTHS AGO,
IS STRICKEN NOW
Policeman Struck on Head
While on Duty During Airing
ton Strike Riots.

His face completely paralyzed, Mo-
torcycle Policeman James J. Collins,
jr., of Kearny, is in a serious con-
dition at his home, 252 Kearny ave-
nue.. His injuries are believed to be
the result of blow he received on
the head while doing strike duty
at the plant of the Arlington Com
pany, Arlington, some months ago.
He has been off duty since last Mon
day and is under the care of DR..
Jeremiah O'Connor.
Some weeks ago the bluecoat felt
slight witch in his face He paid
no attention to the matter at the
time. IT became worse as time wore
on. Collins finally decided to con-
suit a physician. He called on DIR.
O'connor and underwent an exami-
nation The physician found the
face of the policeman had been para
lyzed. He ordered him to bed.
Collins at once reported to the po-
lice station and was granted sick
leave by Chief of Police William.
Tolen. Yesterday Collins insisted on
returning to duty. His wife realiz-
ing his condition refused to allow
him to leave the house. After much
arguing he decided to remain at
home.
Last night he had bad turn and
became delirious. He left his bed
and acted strangely. DIR. O'Connor
was Immediately summoned and he
prescribed nerve medicine. The blue
coat became somewhat quiet but
passed a sleepless night. Today 1t
was decided to apply a battery to
the paralyzed portion of the face.
During the Arlington strike Collins
did meritorious duty. He figured
prominently in several important ar
rests, and in one melee that preceded
an arrest following a riot the police
man was struck in the back of the
head with a large stone. The injury
inflicted by the missile is believed to
be responsible for the present trouble.
At the time Collins, though dazed
by the blow, remained at work. He
chased the man he believed to have
thrown the stone and captured him
after having fred two shots. 1t was
because of the good work done during
this strike that Collins was made
motorcycle policeman when that office
was created He did good work on
the motorcycle.
Collins was appointed to the police
force on February 2S, 1912,
