RESIDENTS BENEFIT BY
misunderstood LAW
Snow Fines RENTED When
Section Is Overlooked.

Montelair residents who we're
muleted IS each for failing to remove
ice and snow from their sidewalks
last Saturday, had their fines re-
turned by Recorder Henry L. Yost
under instructions from Assistant
Town Attorney Andrew H. Weller,
who claimed that the fines were il
legally collected, the property
not being notified to clear their walks
before being summoned TO appear be-
fore the recorder.
The matter was brought to the no.
tiee of the council last night by
Councilman David Henney, who
claimed that according to the ordi-
nance no notice TO the propertY-own-
ers We're required. Town Attorney
Robert M. Boyd, jr.. read over the
ordinance and declared that Mr..
| Henney was right. He said he did
not understand why his assistant,
who , very careful. gave such a
| deci Hereafter offenders of the
ordnance will be fined.
| Mr.. Weller says that he was ae-
quainted with the provisions of the
ordinance, but the council had dis
cussed the ACCESSIBILITY of notifying
offenders before taking action against
them, and was under the impression
that the council had passed reso-
luton to that effect, which would
work coordinately with the ordinance
The minutes of Town Clerk Harry
Trippett failed to show, however, that
any such resolution had been passed
although the matter had been dis
| cussed.

CHIEF ORDERS AGENT TO
GET OUT OF ORANGE

Chief of Police John Drabell, of Or
ange, today ordered a solicitor, who
was selling books containing trading
stamps at small cost to housekeepers
throughout the Oranges, to leave town
and warned him that in case the 100
or more residents of the Oranges who
had already started weekly payments
OF ten cents were not given the goods
promised. he would try to have the
solicitor indicted.
Assisting the solicitor in Orange
were two women. All expressed
ignorance of any fake deal being in
volved in the transaction. Chief ORA
bell, who kept secret the names of
the persons involved, declared the
scheme did not appear straight to him
and ordered the man and women not
to seek any further customers in the
city.

COUNCILMAN AND CLERK
TILT OVER GARBAGE LAW
Latter Demands That Ordi-
nance Be Enforced.

tilt was occasioned at a meeting
last night of the North Arlington Bor-
ough Council, when the matter of
garbage removal was brought up.
Building Inspector Daniel Mccarthy
contended that the individual prop
erty-owners should arrange to have
the garbage removed from their
homes and not have the entire bor-
ough assessed for the work
Mr.. Mccarthy argued that the own
ers of vacant property had nothing to
gain by the garbage removal and he
did not not think it fair for them to
be compelled to pay for benefits en-
joyed by someone else. Borough Clerk
John Shields was surprised, he said,
to hear the remarks of Mr.. Mccarthy.
He referred to a borough ordinance,
which provides fine of s25 for the
arrest and conviction of a person or
persons who are found dumping
refuse on vacant property.
Mr.. Shields declared he would not
tolerate conditions that existed last
summer in connection with the gar
bage question and threatened that I'M
less the borough took some action he
would lodge a complaint with the
State Board of Health.

CORES GREGORY
FOR DRAIN VETO
Former City Counsel Gedney
Declares Delay Costs
! $1,000 a Year.

Mayor Gregory of East Orange,
last night vetoed the councils reso-
luton to construct the proposed
Glenwood Valley drain. Angered at
the new delay, former City Counsel
Jerome D. Gedney took exception to
the action of the mayor and counsel
and criticised the officials for allow
Ing the matter to go over, probably
for three years more.
The council at its last meeting
passed the resolution to draw a new
ordinance for the drain. In vetoing
IT last night, Mayor Gregory declared
his reason was the expense to the city.
He said the Assessment Commission
had first placed a cost of $4,000 on
the city, with preliminary expense
Of 500 for advertising.
Mr.. Gedney did not take exception
so much to the mayors action as he
did to his reasons. He believed the
city was losing $1,000 a year by moi
having the drain. Property along the
proposed street would be assessed at
$40 a front foot, he declared, and he
failed to see why anyone would feel
like paying his share of the prelim-
mary expense. as nothing had been
accomplished.
Members of the council blamed
legal opinions and objections from
property as the primary
causes for the delays. Councilman
Gedney gave assurance that some
thing satisfactory to the residents
would soon be done.
The proposed measure to regulate
moving picture shows was not intro
duced. There will be another confer
ence on 1t Thursday evening, coun-
Gilman Sa.xelby announced. There
will be only one theatre in each ward

SCHOOL HEAD DISCUSSES
ENTERTAINMENT PROBLEM

The problem of securing funds for
entertainment in the East Orange
public schools was brought up again
last night at a meeting of the Board
of Education by superintendent of
Schools Vernon L. Davey. He spoke
of the desire of principals to add to
the equipment of the schools and OF
the de1icacy involved in securing
funds from parents.
MY personal opinion" he said, sis
that while there are objections to the
circular method of raising funds this
is the least Objectionable of all the
methods that have been suggested or
tried. There are at present probably
three or four thousand dollars worth
of library books, pictures, casts,
Photographs and apparatus for the
use of lantern slides that have been
purchased by funds obtained by the
voluntary contributions OF parents in
response to the circular method

How Mabel Riegelman, the petite,
young and pretty Oakland prima
donna now singing leading roles with
the Chicago Grand Opera company,
took a wild ride on the cowcatcher of
a locomotive-just to show that Amer
lean girls are more daring than the
fair ones of other nations-is told by
the songstress in a letter received to-
day by Attorney Marcus L. Samuels,
who, in addition to being a member of
the National Geographic society and a
lawyer. is the lady's husband.
The whole scheme originated in the
mind of an imaginative press agent.
but before the stunt" ended, his hair
had threatened to turn white. The plan
was that Amy Evans, a pretty Welsh
singer; Alice Zepelli of Italy, Louise
Berat Of France and Miss Riegelman
should perform some daring act to
show the inherent bravery of their
eountrywomen, and. incidentally, to
reflect glory on the opera company on
its way from Philadelphia to Chi
cago.

NO SURRENDER!'
SAYS REV. BAIRD

WOODLAND, Dec. 5.-One OF the
most bitter legal battles ever fought
in this section of the state will be
staged in a few days, when real action
begins in the suit of the vestrymen OF
st. Lukefs Episcopal church against
the lighting parson." the Rev. Ed
ward John Baird.
Tt is the purpose of the action to
oust the minister from the church. to
prohibit him from holding further
services, to recover the church prop
erty now held by him and to cause the
delivery of the property to the vestry-
men.
In opposition to this the Rev. Mr..
Baird says he will continue to hold
services in ST. Luke's church even If
he breaches to empty pews. The pas
tor also says that his wife, who fled
from him, will shortly return and that
there will be a reconciliation.

Miss Evans was to stop a perfectly
good runaway. Signora Zepelli was
to kiss a perfectly willing Philadel-
phia official. Mile. Berat had been
chosen to drive a perfectly wild auto
mobile, while Miss Riegelman was as
signed the task of riding the pilot of
Lehigh Valley mogul.
Everything went smoothly until Miss
Riegelman stepped lightly to the front
of the engine. With jerk the loco
motive started, and, before Miss Rie-
gelmen could leap to safety, the en-
gine started at high speed toward the
Canadian line. Excitedly the three
other sopranos, with varying accents,
besought the conductor to stop the
train. The special had covered four
miles to Allentown I'm almost as many
minutes before the engine was checked
and Miss Riegelman was rescued from
the cowcatcher desperately clutching
a tiny American flag that she was to
have waived proudly before the eye of
the press agents camera.

CRUDE OIL WILL
KILL OFF GOPHER

Crude oil is all that is necessary to
exterminate gophers from your gar
den, according to DIR. Harold C..
Bryant, who has made study of the
burrowing pests for the University Of
California. Bryant has learned that
at night the gophers, supposed to re-
main in their tunnels. come to the
surface OF the earth and forage for
food.
When some street repairs were
being made in Berkeley Bryant dis
covered the habit of the gophers. A
strip of crude oil was left one night
along an excavation. Next morning
Bryant found SO gophers trapped in
the sticky substance.
Here is what Bryant now suggests.
II a strip Of oil two feet wide will
trap so gophers in one night in
Berkeley, why will not such strip
capture gophers migrating into an
orange grove?

Hale's Will OPEN Tomorrow
Night, and, Beginning Dec. IS,
Every Night Until Christmas

Realizing that many people are SO busily
engaged during the day as to make it next
to impossible to do justice to their Christ
mas shopping within the limits of ordinary
business hours. we have arranged, without
hardship upon employees, and as an accom-
modation to the public, to remain open to-
morrow night, then, beginning week later,
every night until Christmas.
The early closing campaign in behalf of
the tired shop girl is very commendable
in communities where women can be kept
on duty more than eight hours day, and
where there is a disposition to keep them
overtime !.
In California, the S-hour law for women
applies just as much at Christmas time as at
any other season, and there is no desire or
disposition on the part of merchants gener-
ally to have it otherwise.
Instead of facing lack of sleep, hurried dash
back to the store in the morning, and all of the
much-wrftten- about things that make the
Christmas season in some communities a real
hardship upon the women employees, Hale's girls
will have ample rest, the days the store is
open evenings. just they do at other times
Remember open tomorrow night until 1000
o'clock, then, beginning Saturday, December 13,
every night until Christmas, for the accommo-
dation of the shopping public.
