Mr.. GIennon Criticised.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
In reading the explanation in this
mornings Star given by Mr.. Glennon
superintendent of the Montelair
Water Company, as to the pressure
given to the West Orange firemen at
the CASTOR Street High School fire, 1t
is to be admitted there is some little
humor injected into 1t, but, unfortu-
nately, as well as unjustly, one-
sided and. of course, in favor of Mr.
Glennon and the actions of his COM
pany.
Chief Sheehan is right and his
stand has been approved by Mayor
Muta. who, l understand was an
eye witness
Now, as to the four East Orange
firemen, who Mr.. Glennon says,
were sent rolling down a. bank on
account of the heavy pressure of
water through the hose. That state-
ment is indeed quite funny and
brings forth the question, WAS
Mr.. Glennon ever employed as a joke
writer for any of the metropolitan
comic papers?" If not here's a. chance
for one of these comic newspaper
scouts to pick him up. He's all
right for that kind of work.
But. seriously, to give mere out
line of the true facts regarding the
East Orange firenen, the following
will serve to offset the statements
of Mr. Glennon: When the East Or
ange flremen arrived with one of the
chemical engines a line of hose was
hooked up to a hydrant. Pop" Judd
and Jimmy Lawson were at the
plug; Assistant Chief Flynn. Cap
tain Mckinley. Lieutenant Purdue
and a few other East Orange tiremen
ran with the line of hose (250 fee) to
a point of vantage. Judd and Law
son. after turning on the water,
Joined the hosemen. But no water
came. Chief Marl<with, fearing that
possibly the two men had forgotten
to turn on the water, sent "Mox"
Mcneil, of Chemical No. /, to see If
it had been. "Mox" returned; still
no water. Several of the flremen
also went to the hydrant, but they
found the gate valve open wide. After
fifteen minutes a little water came
trickling out of the hose. not enough
to have any effect on four fingers of
"hooker" of steam"
Owing to the poor pressure the East
Orange firemen could do nothing, and
were compelled to return home. 1t
would seem. however, that the Town
of West Orange hay good claim
for damages and a reasonable excuse
to get their water elsewhere. Glen

paper or magazine; better yet. in a

CONTINUED from Yesterday

AS you know, Mr.. Moxlow," the
coroner began, these gentlemen, Mr..
shrimplin. Colonel HARRISON and Mr..
Gilmore, were the first to view the
murdered man. Later | was sum-
moned. and the sheriff spent the
greater part of the night in making
an examination of the building. we
found no clue The murderer had
gone without leaving any trace of
his passing 1t is probable he en-
tered by the front door, which Mr.
Shrimplin found open, and left by
the side door, which was also open;
but the crowd gathered so quickly
both in the yard and in the street
that 1t has been useless to look for
footprints in the freshly-fallen snow.
One point is quite clear, however,
and that is the hour when the crime
was committed. We can fix that
almost to certainty. The muir
derer did his work between half past
r and 6 o'clock. Mr.. Shrimplin has
lust Informed us that the only per-
son he saw on the square, until he
met Colonel HARRISON, was John
North. whom he encountered within
A block of McBrides store and with
whom he spoke. While Mr.. Shrimp
lin stopped to speak with Mr.. North
the town bell rang the hour-6
o'clock.
The coroner paused.
There was q moments silence, then
Marshall Langham made a half step
forward. A sudden palsy had seized
him: yet he was determined to
speak. He felt that he must be
heard: that he bad something vital
to saw. An impulse he could not
control compelled him to turn in
the direction of Andy Gilmore. and
for brief instant his eyes fastened
themselves on the gambler. who re-
turned his gaze with a cynical smile,
as though to say: "You haven't the
nerve to do it," With the tip of his
tongue Langham moistened his
swollen lips. He was about to speak
now, and Gilmore losing his former
air of bored indifference, leaned for
ward. eager to catch every word.

ARCADIA.

don't want to live in Arcadia,
Quite willingly l confess;
The realm that the poets rave about,
The kingdom of happiness;
Where all is serene as morn in
spring,
Birds singing in every tree.
There must be a catch in the thing
somewhere,
1t doesn't look good to me.
The work in Arcadia is a cinch;
They watch the sheep all day,
And when they need music to while
the time
They hunt up their flutes and play.
They work on a very peculiar plain.
The salaries there are nil.
No one ever saw an Arcadlan
Who had a two-dollar bill.
They wear sheepskin toga SO very
brief
They reach only to the knees,
And caper- about in a care-free way
No matter how chill the breeze.
There's nothing but happiness in that
land
With the proletariat,
But I couldn't ever be happy enough
TO dress in a rig like that.
The life in Arcadia listens tame
With no moving picture show.
And never single league bowling
game.
And never a chance to go
And see a good circus and eat pea
nuts
Or laugh at the chimpanzee.
There may be pure joy in Arcadia,
But this town looks goodyto me.
