was spent. in return for which a
nurse and medical care were provided
for the boy. who had pneumonia, the
family enjoyed happy Thanksgiv-
ing and Christmas, and the children
were provided with clothing so that
they could attend school regularly.
In speaking of the woodyard main
tanned by the bureau MIR. Whitson
said that seyenty-four men were
given 966 days work at q loss to the

more than anything else; 1876 tempo

ly advocated a monthly conference

ORANGE POLICE CHIEF
REPLIES TO CONTRACTOR
Denies inadequate Protection
of Trolley Line Workers.

Chief of Police John Drabell, Of Or
ange, today denied the statements of
a representative of the Stanley Con-
tracing firm that inadequate police
protection prevented resumption of
work on the relaying OF track and
roadway on the Crostown trolley line
in Cone street fortnight ago He
said:
MIR. McManGs should tell the truth
about affairs when he publicly
speaks. His reported statement at a
recent committee meeting that made
quate protection was offered his
workmen is absolutely incorrect. On
the morning in question l was at
the Cone street job with four men
and had the reserve men block
away at headquarters, and the Main
street men on instant call for any
emergency.
At, I o'clock when / arrived with a
detail of police his men, his foreman
and a group of men. apparently
strikers, about twenty FIVE in all,
participated in a friendly talk IN the
street for two hours. There was no
attempt made to start work, and my

any protection desired.
The chief said the police activity
followed a request made the night
previous for "a couple of men, He
said the report that several hundred
people were about the morning in
question and acting in a manner to
prevent the workers from doing thei-
tasks was ridiculous. Men, women
and children. including the residents
of the thoroughfare, would not make
up the total reported by the foreman.

ON DEATH TRAPS
East Orange Councilman Ex-
plains Plan TO LackaWanna
Officials.

Confident fhat the eltys laiest
proposition toward he immediate
elimination Of grade crossings wi
be agreed upon. Councilman George
a. Grover. chairman of the railroad
committee Of the East Orange City
Council today sent the following com
munication to the officials Of tbs
Laekawanna railroad:
AT meeting of the railroad com
mittee Of the City Council of the city
of East Orange further discussion u
the grade-erossing problem was had,
and as a result plan Of grade-oross-
ing elimination essentially different
from any vet officially considered by
representatives or the city and tie
railroad was tentatively approved IN
It's general features. said plan con
templates depression of the railroad
through the city, somewhat after the
manner employed in the improve
ments through the Newton section
OF the Boston suburbs
1t would require retaining walls
OF. probably not over eight feet in
depth extending along the outward
lines Of the railroad right-of way
The additional land requisite 70 Sc
cure the sloping banks and park ef
feet would be secured at the expense
of the city The question Of surface
water drainage. which has heretofore
been considered difficult. would IN
der this plan be taken care OF by tbs
city. The expense of the work within
the railroad right-of-way and con-
sequenlisl damages TO abutting prop
erty where street grades are re-
quired TO be changed would be borne
by the railroad. The latter expense
would be minimized under a scheme
OF depression and vastly less than
would occur IN the case of elevation.
for the reason that the change of
street grades would be very slight
and few IN number
Along the lines above indicated
the railroad committee adopted
resolution authorizing said commit
tee TO open negotiations with the rail-
road, to the end that grade crossing
elimination might be secured for
East Orange as above indicated. Tbs
undersigned. on behalf OF said COM
mittee, respectfully invites your com-
pany TO appoint a convenient time
and place at which the representa-
tives OF the city may confer with the
representatives OF the railroad within
the spirit OF this communication"

PLUMBERS EXAMINING
BOARD NOT PROVIDED

The Harrison Board of Health last
night failed to create a plumbing ex
aminers' board in the town. 1t had
been expected this would be done at
the meeting. The board voted the re-
newal of thirteen plumbers licenses.
The object in seeking the exam
iners board was to compel all
plumbers to undergo rigid test, as
is required in other towns, before
they could procure license. An or
dinance providing for the establish
ment of a plumbing board has already
passed two readings. 1t was laid over
for legal advice few months and it
has since slept" peacefully.

W|TTPENN LOSES
ORANGE LEAGUE
Withdraws Endorsement o.
OubernatoriaI Boom of Jer-
sey City Mayor.

By a vote of 10 to 9 the Woodrow
Wilson League of Orange last night
withdrew its Endorsement of Mayor
IL. Otto Wittpenn, of Jersey City, for
Democratic nominee for governor,
and futile attempt was made to
favor the candidacy of Mayor Julian
A. Gregory, of East Orange. The
action precipitated lively discus
sion, and disclosed the fact that there
Is division in the camp OF the Will
son followers. William F Hamilton,
president of the Orange League, was
credited with the coup. Mr.. MoClos-
key offered the resolution TO with
draw the support pledged the Jersey
City executive, who at recent
euchre party given by the Orange
Wilsonites was the guest of honor
and made a speech insisting that Ii
was the Endorsement given him by
the Orange and other Wilson so
cieties that really induced him to
enter the arena as an aspirant for
gubernatorial honors.
John L. Davis, vice president of the
league who was chairman of the
committee in charge of the euchre at
which Wittpenn was given further
boom. opposed the resolution to turn
down Wittpenn and with other men
opposed the plan to reverse the in
dorsement. The Hamilton group was
in the majority at the session, how
ever. and the resolution went
through. 1t was explained by those
favoring withdrawal of the leagues
support that with two Hudson men
in the field favorltism for one would
be unwise political action.
There are more than a hundred
members of the Orange league, and
it is likely the action taken last night
viii provoke a lively discussion when
the members have their next meet
ing.
There was scant consideration
given the Gregory boom, and there
was no action taken on the indose-
ment of his candidacy.
