TWO BOYS START
ABURGLAR SCARE
Their "SkyIarking" on Roof
Calls Out Recorder, Police
and Excited Crowd.

Inquisitiveness on the part of two
East Orange lads came within an ace
. of causing them severe punishment
and incidentally brought out police
and neighbors in the burglar scare in
the fashionable section of the Second
ward last night. Soon after 1920
o'clock Mrs. Henry C. Ryerson. of
150 Walnut street north. telephoned
to police headquarters that burglars
were on the roof of a rear extension.
Recorder Mott, Acting Chief Hector,
Roundsman Burns and Policeman

rounded it. Neighbors. who had been
aroused by the excitement took po-
sitions about the property, and while
the police with drawn revolvers
closed in some one espied a shadowy
form in a cherry tree.
Come down here or we'll shot.
was the peremptory command, and
with a startled cry George Daub, Is,
of 317 Park avenue. East Orange,
dropped to the ground and promptly
put up his hands as he saw re-
volver in the hands of Roundsman
Burns leveled at him.
Il took but a few minutes to learn
that. with Richard Thorne, of 146
Walnut street, the frightened boy
had been on the Ryerson roof, sky
lArking," he said, when they heard
the call for police aid. Thorne es-
capped and ran home, but Daub de-
clded to hide in the tree, hoping to
get away unobserved after the scare
mad subsidized. Daub was taken to
headquarters and released after he
gave the name of his companion. and
the two were before Recorder Mott
today in court. The official gave
them a reprimand and Warned them
of the possible consequences of their
action. There was no formal COM
plant against them and they were
allowed to go.

DEFIED SEVEN SISTERS"
LAW IN COAL BIDS

A division of the supply of coal for
the six public schools between four
Irvington bidders was made by the
supply committee of the Board of Ed
ucation of that town last night. The
order for $50 tons was divided be-
tween N. Drake, Littlefeld Bros,
Woolley- Glorieux Company and John
H. Donovan. Because he was an out
of-town dealer John H. Gates, of
Newark, received no order
The five concerns each bid the
same price per ton, Sc for stove and
$4.40 for pea coal. 1t was expected
that the recent law known as one of
the seven sisters which prohibits
oollusive bidding, would cause va
ration in the estimates. 1t had that
effect in East Orange, West Orange
and Bloomfield. Apparently the deal
ers in Iryington felt no apprehension
of possible action against them under
the provisions of the new statute.

Probably the finest echo which the
world knows Is in the cathedral at

at once taken up by the walls of the

The cutting down of trees in a Ger.

Undoubtedly the most extraordinary
natural echo in the world is to be
heard by the side of small lake IN

NATURAL GAS CASE CONCLUDED.
Kansas Anti thrust Law Attacked in
Courts By Company Attorneys.

Denver. Colo, Oct 1.-The Kansas
Naturla Gas Company's case was taken
under advisement by the United States
circuit court Of appeals shortly before
noon today. The closing argument was
made by former Federal Judge John F.
Philips, OF Kansas City. representing
the receivers appointed for the natural
gas company by the United States dis
trict Judge. John c. Pollock. These re-
ceivers appealed from an order of the
United States district judge, John A.
Marshall. Of Utah, requiring them to
turn over the property of lac ,oI1i pan )
TO receivers appointed by the district
court of Montgomery county. Kansas.
In his argument Judge Philips sub
jected the Kansas antitrust statute to
critical analysis, contending that il
only prohibited monopoly brought
about by the combination Of two or
more persons" From this he reasoned
that the monopoly alleged TO have been
secured by the Kansas Natural Gas
Company. being brought about by pur-
chase, not by voluntary comhina ton.
was not Illegal under the terms of the
statute. Hence. according TO the argu-
ment, the district court of Montgomery
could not legally appoint receivers.
