MARKET STREETS
/. / LIGHTS REDUCED
Works Board Cuts Number to
Half Because Merchants
Refuse to Pay.

Through the refusal of the mer-
chants of Market street to continue
their contributions to the lighting of
that thoroughfare. the present fam
ing arc system after September / will
be reduced to one-half. Instead OF
the forty-eight lamps. only twenty
three lamps will be used.
Action to this effect was taken yes
| terday by the Board of Works on the
recommendation of Commissioner Al
| bert II. Biertuempfel, chairman of
the lighting committee. At his sug-
gestion the lights will be reduced to
one-half at the expiration of the
present contract with the Public Ser
vice. From this date until Novem-
Der Is the one-half system will be in
effect
1t may be that the board will sub
sequently replace the flaming arcs
with the old style street lamps, al
though it is possible that the new
General Electric flaming arc will be
installed. This will be determined
later.
1t is understood that all of the
merchants along Broad street nave
agreed to contribute a certain snare
| toward the cost of the flaming arcs
and it is probable that the agreement
| with the city will be executed next
week.
Chief Accountant David Holmes, of
the water department reported that
the work of changing about the pres
ent assessed water rate is progressing
lrapidly. He insisted that the present
method acted as an incentive to make
property owners misrepresent facts,
to get out of paying an extra Few
cents Mr.. Holmes declared that ne
had on hand the reports of about
fifty cities about the size of Newark
and was studying carefully into the
various systems employed.
A resolution was adopted approx
ing a new form of contract between
the Progressive Improvement Asso-
citation and the National State Bank
and O'Gara & Mcclure for the pave
ment of portion of Mechanic street
with wood block Several weeks ago
the board approved of the contract
but Mayor Haussling returned IT
without his approval.
1t seems that the board granted
permission to the private parties to
pave the section in question by a
motion, which does not need the ap-
prevail of the Mayor. In fact the lat
ter knew nothing about the PROPOSE
ton until the actual work of laying
the blocks was started In his veto
he insisted that inasmuch as the
board had found G way to grant per-
mission without his approval it should
also find a way of having the con-
tract approved without bothering
him.
1t is expected that the Mayor will
again return it without his approval
Albert Hewes, who was dropped
from the water department, for in
competency. was reinstated at his old
salary. 1t seems that Hewes was
an inspector and to help out in an
emergency was brought into the &C.
counting division as a clerk. For
several months he held this place and
several weeks ago was dropped bes
cause il was charged that he could
not strike a trial balance on his
ledger. He denied this charge.
1t was on resolution of DIR. Kraemer
that Hewes was reinstated and he
was returned to his old position in
the inspecting corps.

NO HEEL SHOE FAD
ONLY SHORT LIVED
Department Store Thrown Out
Its Stock of This
Footgear.

One of the summer girl" fads
seems to be fast on the wane in De-
troit if the ordinations and opin-
ions of one of the largest shoe de-
partments is taken as the criterion
When one of the most experienced
saleswomen in the store was asked
If the o-heer' shoe was the proper
thing now the inquiry was met with
utter contempt.
1--WE are not showing any of those
Shoes she said: 1--WE simply threw
them all out last week The man
agement became of the opinion that
it was only a fad anyway, and a
freak one at that. More than that,
we considered those shoes a menace
to health and anything but conduc-
tive to a refined, well-groomed APP
pearance. So those freak shoes are
gone from this store, anyway. We
still have a few calls for them, but
the law has gone forth, just the
same. Detroit Free Press.

O raptures!
Yellowstone Park is Nature in her
most dramatic mood. Nature can be
dramatic in various ways. She can
be stupendously tragic, she can be
splendidlY scenic. And the Yellow
stone makes the greatest effects of a
theatrical scenic artist look puny. The
Yellowstone also provides Natures
vaudeville and cabaret.
While gnawing a picnic lunch, one
can be diverted by a dancing geyser.
A geyser sends up hot water at the
most regular intervals. You can
telephone, ring the bell and storm and
fume. but the geyser will not send
up any hot water before 1t gets
ready
Impatient tourists are not advised
bv guides to use the bubbling hole
of a geyser as shaving cup. The
water is said TO be nice and warm,
but while you are scraping your chin
with an Indian arrowhead, the geyser
is liable to get its cue to perform.

CITY CAN LIMIT
TRACTION GRANTS
May Specify Period of Time,
but Can't Regulate Cars
of Public Service.

In the opinion of City Counsel
James R. Nugent, the city is vested
with full power and authority to.
limit the period for which subway
privileges and franchises may be
granted. His views on this point he
made known to the Board of Works
yesterday afternoon. In another opin-
ion he contended that the city had no
right to stop the Public Service from
operating a trolley car over the pres
ent trackage, even though the car Is
not owned by the trolley company.
On Wednesday the Public Service
officials. in conference with the board
members on matters pertaining to the
general terminal scheme, contended
that certain of the grants should be
, perpetual. The right of the city to
limit them to any specified period
they contested under the present law.
This point was forthwith hustled to
the legal department. MIR. Nugent
gives a brief analysis of the law cover
| ing the point and interpreted 1t to
mean that the Board of Works, as
the governing power of the city in
such matters, is given full authority
to limit the grants to any period it
desired.
On the point of the proposed
blanket" agreement between the city
and the company he holds that any
agreement properly drawn and exc
cuted by both parties in question is
binding and holding on both.
When the new Newark Trenton line
was put into operation it was found
by several of the commissioners that
the cars themselves were owned by
the Public Service Railroad Company,
a corporation having no standing
whatsoever in this city, so far as
| franchises are concerned. At the
time ii was explained that the cars
were operated by the railroad COM
pany to the city line and from there
to it's terminus at the Lackawanna
station by the Public Service.
Mr.. Nugent on this point explained
1T makes no difference in my
opinion, whether the cars operated by
the railway company in this city are
actually owned by it or leased from
another company or operated in
agreement with another company
that owns the cars. l cannot find any
support for the assertion that any
consent of the city is needed for the
operation of the cars running between
the Morris and Essex depot in New
ark and Trenton"

PROGRESSIVES TALK OVER
THE LOCAL SITUATION

The executive committee of the Pro-
gressive City Committee last night at
conference discussed in a general
way the situation in the city. The
conferees met at the new summer
home of Frank l.. Driver, the chair
man of the city committee, at Short
Hills. as his guests.
AS there are 1873 election districts in
the city, of which seventy-five are
not as yet filled, this matter was
taken up. and after the conference it
was stated that the organization will
be successful in filling these vacancies.
The city ticket was only casually
touched upon, inasmueh as the wards
look after that. The next meeting of
the whole city committee will be held
next Tuesday

Dance Reflects Its Period.

The dancing masters who attended
the annual convention of the AmerI-
can National Association of Dancing
at Asbury Park were divided in opin-
ion as to the future of the popular
dance novelties. Dances" one expert
said, "have always reflected the age
of their birth. The minuet was timely
in its day, and 1t gave way to the
more rapid quadrille. The polka and
waltz held out until the two-step
made them appear old-fashioned. and
it was only natural that a time like
this, with customs and ideas which
would have been impossible in the
days of the quiet Dance should have
produced the various new dance
movements. If we should ever quiet
down they will be modified-if not
they will stay"

| The effect will be disastrous, al
though "elevating."
A friend of mine once visited the
Yellowstone. He got there several
hours after the regular tourist sea-
SON. had closed. Even the euro
shopkeepers were mailing up their
shutters. The only quartz specimens
he could obtain were being sold at
lunch counter, disguised as bis
cults.
lie went TO see the geysers. After
hiking long way he came across
hole in the ground. A native eX-
planned it was not part of a golf
links, but a geyser. My friend waited
for three hours. Nothing spouted.
Going up to the hole bravely. he
found a small sign tackled on stick.
1t said: CLOSED for the season"
However, such well-known geezers
pardon. geysers-as "Old Faithful,
work rain or shine. throughout the
year, ! am assured. They work with
vim, with will and show a fine
spray du corps.
At Yellowstone the bears are tame.
They are so tame that they will walk
right into. the middle of table,
cloth which has been spread on a
rock, and help themselves.
They are so tame | imagine that
they will give you a welcome whack
on the back that jars you like the
fender end of q landslide.
But you mustn't kick EN-. The dear
little bears are protected by Uncle
sam, even when they try to hug all
the girls in your party.
/ can hear the sounds of Yellow
stone Park! The mad splashing of
beauteous falls and cascades, the
gurgling of natural springs, the
, thunder of falling boulders. the rustic
of giant forests, the shrieks of
alarmed tourists, the chuckle of
guides as they initiate their sleeves
with lawfter the creaking of burro
saddles and. above all else, the blithe
caroling of those long-eared stubborn
mountain canaries!
Ho for Yellowstone Park!

Criminal Court on $500 bail yesterday
afternoon, In which sum he was held

from the Court House that he was
wanted by the higher courts.
It developed that about two years

of $1,000 was forfeited. The charge
against him on that occasion WAS
similar to the one which caused his

searched the country for him, and II
