POLICEMAN NABS
HIS ROUNDSMAN
East Orange Cops Have Knock
down Argument While
Town Sleeps.

1.-The police fought while the fire.
men slept"
Investigating the significance of
these words, which are on O piece of
cardboard posted in firehouse in
East orange, an inquisitiye resident
of that city unearthed a few OF the
details of the arrest of Roundsman
John Macdonald by Patrolman JOIN
Ritter, following a heated argument
between the pair late one night this
week All of the details of the af-
fair. which, 1t is said, viii be sub
jected to. an investigation by the
Police Commission, have not become
known, but the information thus far
obtained is this:
Roundsman Macdonald was trying
to find Policeman Ritter on the lat7.
ter's post in the Doddtown section,
and, failing to do so after an exhaust
i've search blew his whistle in front
of an engine house in Dodd street
Ritter responded soon afterwards,
and, after the exchange of few re-
marks, which would not look well In
print, the patrolman and his superior
began graphing, and in the struggle
Ritter went down.
Rega ming his feet. he went to the
firehouse q few feet away and rang
the bell on the front door three times,
arousng the firemen who we're asleep
on the second floor. When one of the
smoke eaters" opened the door Rit-
ter requested permission to use the
telephone. He called up Desk Ser
geant Henry Hector and told him he
had placed Roundsman Macdonald
under arrest and wanted the patrol
wagon sem to the scene.
Hector, 1t Is said, objected strenu-
ously to such drastic procedure and
told Ritter he had better not take
the action in view of the fact that
Macdonald was his superior.
Ritter's ruffled feelings were
smoothed by the advice of the SER
geant, and he agreed to release his
"prisoner' until Chief of Police
O'Neill was acquainted with the facts
The police head is said to have Sc
verely reprimanded the men and told
them they were both at fault.
Whether the men intend to prefer
counter charges against each other
is not positively known. The affair
has become the subject of consider
circles of the city.
The argument started, 1t Is said,
when Ritter told his superior he went
to the flrehouse from North Park
street in response to the whistle, anG
Macdonald told him he could not
have been in the tforoughfare, as he
himself was in the street few min
utes before.

Hinck Tells Why He Opposes
Buying More Athletic Fields

Although favoring as many ath-
letic fields as the town needs, Mayor
Hinck, of Montclair, opposing the
purchase of an additional tract for
the high school, said that he consid-
cred such a step extravaganza.
1--WE have tracts available now" he
said land any athletic field or play
ground should be open to the pupils
of all the schools and all the children
of the town.
I'VE have taken a step toward pro-
viding such facilities in Edgemont
Park, where a skating pond is now
being created and where other recrea-
ton facilities will be added next
spring. An enterprise Of the. c'sAr-
acter that has been suggested for che
high school alone would, in my opin-
ion be an extravaganza, and with
hold from other children of the town
the opportunity for recreation which
should be theirs at the earliest pos
sible date"

RIOT AT OPENING
OF MISSION HOUSE
Minister and Party Attacked
After Leaving Storned
Building.

A riot during which a South Or
ange clergyman was stoned and a
Presbyterian mission house charged
upon was nipped in its incipiency by
the village police last night. but only
after one of the hardest fights in
which the bluecoats have ever figured
in the history of the department.
That someone was not seriously in
jured during the melee is considered
miraculous.
Rev. David DeF'orest Burrell, pas
tor of the First Presbyterian Church,
South Orange, with the stated inten-
ton of opening mission in store
at AZ Church street. in the Italian
colony, went to the place last night.
He was accompanied by prominent
men and women connected with his
regular charge and who had volun-
teered to assist.
A man named Schiaraffa had just
begun to speak at the mission when
there was an avalanche of vegetables
and mud hurled against the building.
Angry Italians, almost 200 strong,
were lined up on the outside. Their
derisive shouts could be heard for
blocks.
Rev. Mr.. Burrell made his way to
the police station and told Desk Ser
gcant Thomas J. Sherry of the dis
order Policemen were rushed to the
scene and they arrived only in time
to prevent the excited foreigners
from wreaking their vengeance on
those connected with the mission.
The bluecoats made charge after
charge on the surging mob. They
battled for some time before finally
gaining control of the situation. See
Ing they could not carry out what ap-
peared to be their plans, of wrecking
the mission house, the mob, composed
of men, women and children, gath
cred up tin boilers and other devices
and pounded out q terrific noise.
The indignant crowd on the outside,
headed by Thomas Mercadante, a
South Orange contractor, marched to
the police station and demanded of
Sergeant Sherry that the mission
house be closed. The sergeant de-
clared those conducting the mission
were, so far as he knew, acting with
in their rights.
When Rev. Mr.. Burrell and the
members of his congregation, with
Schiaraffa, finally started away from
the mission they were greeted with q
shower of stones. No one in the min
isters party is believed to have been
injured.
Rev. Mr.. Burrell, when seen today
at his home, stated emphatically that
he intends to continue the mission
every Friday night.
Schiaraffa, whose first name Mr..
Burrell does not know, has been work.
ing in the Italian settlement In Church
street during the summer withsa view
of starting the mission.
{ One of the men identified with the
uprising last night stated he had been
told Schiaraffa had offered to give
children oranges and had even prom
Used them clothing II they would agree
to attend the mission services.
Rev. Mr.. Burrell stated today that
about twenty-five Italians attended
the mission, while one of those who
was on the outside claimed there were
but three of the village Italians in at
tendance.

Foreman's Discharge Ends
Railroad Carpenters Strike

When carpenters engaged in the
construction of the addition to the
'roundhouse" of the Pennsylvania
railroad on the Kearny meadows went
on strike yesterday they charged that
the contracting Arm did not live up to
it's promise to discharge foreman
who had trouble with the carpenters
and joiners' union in Philadelphia.
A hurried consultation was held
and it was decided to discharge the
foreman. This announcement was
made and the strike ended. 1t is said
the foreman in question was fined for
some infraction of the union rules in
the Quaker City and failed to pay the
fine. When he came to Kearny word
was sent to the local branch of the
union. The railroad people were asked
a week ago to discharge the foreman
in the event of his failure to pay the
fine.
