TODDLER WELL AFTER
TH|RTY-FOOT TUMBLE

A thirty-two-foot tumble is nothing
to Master Raymond Hull, years old.
He is as much alive as ever today
after falling out of a third-fioor win
dow and landing head-first on the
cement sidewalk in front of his home,
51S Central avenue.
Master Raymond's papa, William
Hull, is a fireman attached to Truck
No 2, and firemen are supposed not
to mind such things as falling walls
and back draught explosions. But
even that doesn't explain the India
rubber qualities of Baby Hull.
Raymond and his 4-year-old sister,
Mildred, while playing in their home,
happened to look out of the front
window. The girl happened to see
dog frolicking in Central avenue,
She wanted Raymond to see, too, and
second or so later the baby was
through the screen.
Mrs. Hull was just going out to do
some shopping. She heard the thud
of the falling baby as she left the
porch.
Edmund r. Halsey, OF 164 Market
street, who was passing in his auto
mobile, took mother and child to the
hospital, where it was discovered
that Raymond had slight bruise on
the left side of his face and another
on his right foot.

BrieIIe Wealthy Homes Saved
With Difficulty by Back
Firing Methods.

BRIELLE, n. J.. April ga forest
fire that swept the woods between
this place and Allentown and threat
ened several costly homes. burned
itself out today.
An all-night fight was waged by
500 men. headed by Fire Chief S. b.
Peakce and Fire Warden A. G. Rog-
ers. to save the dwellings within
range of the flames.
By back firing the woods, the VoiRn.
teer hremen managed to keep the
home of Mrs. Joseph Mount, widow
of five days, from catching fire. al
though it was necessary to keep pipe
lines playing on it because OF the
shower of sparks. A high wind added
to the difficulty of the fight.
Other houses saved were those of
s. o. Wing, Frank Brainard and
James d. Gallery.
Chief Pearce said today that the
line of flames extended three or four
miles

place." he explained. ITO the leeward
of a brisk wind. I think a match
carelessly thrown into the under
brush by some one employed at the
gravel pits was what caused it. Once
ignited, the woods burned right up to
cleared land on every side"

NEWARK STREET PAGEANT
OF BUFFALO BILLS SHOW

Contrary to its custom recently
Buffalo Bill and Pawnee Bills Wild
West and Far East show will give a
street parade when 1t comes to New
ark on May 13. The restoration OF
the street pageant is due to the fact
that all sohoolboys and almost every
one who has been a schoolboy believe
that a circus without parade isn't
a circus.
But let the press agent speak for
himself Here is how he describes
it.:
"Impbssible of emulation. paral-
elled by only itself! To the spectator
who has journeyed in the. countries
of this animated tableaued tale,
the fidelity to detail is startling;
students of ethnology viii revel In
its thousand living lessons, while un-
travelled beholders of these incom-
parable splendors may usually feast
on idealistic dreams, dissipate in the
mysteries of ancient lands and de-
light in the history of our own"

MINISTER ATTACKS
Jury CHANGE BILL
The Rev. Mr.. Wasson Declares
New Measure Is Ridiculous.
Labor Men Plan Protest.

Before the special session of the
Legislature eonvenes to act on the
proposed changes in the jury law a
nass-meeting will be held by the
Essex Trades Council to protest
against the passage Of any bill with
out a referendum. This was decided
upon at a meeting of the council last
night. when several speakers de-
nounced the proposed Jury reform
bill.
The Rev Edmund A. WATSON, rec
tor of st. Stephens Episcopal Church,
was the principal speaker. He de-
clared that instead of reforming the
system of selecting juries. the pro-
posed law would deform it. The
speaker characterized the proposed
law as one of the most dangerous
bills that had ever been brought be-
fore a New Jersey Legislature.
The clergyman pointed out that the
bill was ridiculous as well as danger
Gus, as the people are now fighting to
get the government into their own
hands and lessen the power of the
judges. while the so-called Jury re-
form" bill would give even greater
power to the judges. He added that
he would prefer a jury drawn. by
Sheriff Monahan than by Chief JUS
tice Gummere, and concluded by ad-
vising the labor men throughout the
State to protest against the passage
of the bill.
It was suggested by Hugh = V.
Reilly, q member of the legislative
committee, that a hall be engaged and
protest meeting be held He de-
clared that the Essex assemblymen
could inform President Wilson, Gov
ernor Fielder and others interested in
the proposed bill that instead Of a
demand for its passage there exists a
strong agitation against 1t. Others
who spoke were A. J. Cozzolino,
Henry f. Hilfers, secretary and a
member of the legislative committee.
Notices will be sent to all locals
Throughout the State requesting them
to send delegates to Trenton to OPP
pose the passage of the bill and de-
fnand a pubic hearing.
When the Paterson strike was
brought before the members "Bill"
Haywood, .pne of the leaders of the
/. w. W., active in the strike, was
denounced as the greatest migrate in
the labor movement" This term was
applied to Haywood by Hugh V.
Reilly after two members of the
Paterson Relief Organization re-
quested the privilege of the floor.
1t was held by members of the
council that the present strikers had
taken the places of others during
previous strike and that Haywood
had attacked the American Fedora
ton of Labor The two Paterson rep
resentaives wished to solicit the
financial aid OF the local labor men,
and the privilege of the floor was de-
MED.
The members adopted a resolution
approving the sundry civil appro-
priation bill, containing the clause
which exempts labor unions and
