NO MORE MONDAY
BARBER CLOS|NGS
West Hudson Experiment in
TonsoriaI Ethics Fails,
Owing to OBJECTIONS.

There'n be no more Monday closing
of barber shops in West Hudson.
This statement was made today by
a prominent Harrison tonsorial ar
tist 1t follows the action of several
BARRIERS in the transP assaic towns
in refusing to abide by the decision
of the majority of razor wielders to
make Monday day of rest.
The BARRIERS had planned for some
weeks to observe Monday as holi-
day. The majority of the shops were
closed on July 7, the first day the
new order went into effect. The next
week some of those who agreed to
close, went back on their promises
when they saw neighboring shops
open and doing considerable business.
Yesterday saw another large num-
Der of would-be Monday holiday bar
bers doing business as usual. Those
who closed at Sunday noon and ex-
pected to open today, were surprised
when they arrived home after the
short vacation to find practically
every shop in the towns had been
open.
Several BARRIERS who remained
closed Yesterday, when asked today
what they proposed doing in the flu
ture, declared they would open next
Monday and disregard the recent
agreement. Whether or not the bar
bers can now get together and finally
agree to close on Monday is mat
ter of conjecture. Some of the bar
bers declare there are some of their
fellow craftsmen who will refuse to
close because of the small amount
Of business they might do.

FLAG UPSIDE DOWN AND
BLAZE EXCITE CALDWELL

There was a little excitement in
Caldwell for a short while yesterday
afternoon. when 1t was discovered
that the new American flag in front
of a hotel on Bloomfield avenue was
upside down. a crowd began to con-
gregate on the avenue, when Frank
Leonard, a Boy Scout, went to the
hotel and called the attention Of the
proprietor to the flag. There was
much applause when the flag was
put up the proper way.
The crowd had just dispersed when
dry grass at Washburn place and
Bloomfield avenue was set afire by
some careless smoker. The flames be-
gan TO spread toward the barn OF DR..
E. r. Laine, of Bloomfield avenue,
but members OF the Caldwell fire de-
partment extinguished the fire with
broomH and couple Of pals of water.

COUNCIL s ACT MAY
RESULT IN LAW SUIT
Republicans Block Attempt to
Reduce Water Bills in
Orange.

With the aid of two Democrats, the
Republicans in the Orange Common
Council succeeded last night in re-
jecting recommendation of the
Water Committee that several water
bills be reduced. Councilman Henry
r. Stetson and Daniel Gallagher were
the two Democrats who aided the Re-
publicans, making 1t tie vote, seven
to seven.
The reductions totaled 1898 and the
principal beneficiary would have been
the Messers. Roth, owners of Main
street property. who we're allowed
$500 off a bill The BILL 1t was claimed,
was unusually high, due to careless
tenant and a frisky meter. Seven
Democrats wanted the report of the
committee to pass in toto, while the
Republicans and Messrs' Stetson and
Gallagher wanted the several petit
lions for reductions taken up sepa-
rately.
When the tie vote, seven to seven,
prevented separate votes, the seven
Democrats stood together against
the motion of the minority leader,
Councilman Charles A. lie Master 10
send the report back, the committee
to report the amounts separately. The
Messrs. Roth have threatened a law
suit rather than pay what they term
an unjust bill and unless the council
changes its attitude at a future ses-
sion legal proceedings may follow.
Councilman lie Master in his argu-
ment against passing the committees
recommendations as a whole, SAID
that prompt payers were discouraged
by repeated allowances even when de-
linquents had run their accounts
many months. Councilman Casey sar-
remarked that he was glad
to see his fellow councilman after
many years in council finally decide
to favor economies in the city's inter-
ests, but he said the committee had
threshed out the many questions in
volved and said the city would lose
in a law suit with the Roths II their
application for a reduction was not
acceeded to- Councilman Stetson said
he was opposed to encourage careless
by granting allowances
for leaks. Mr.. lie Master pointed out
that the reductions allowed averaged
80 per cent of the original charges.
The council voted to give the Anti
League free water for
the day camp in Central avenue, and
to strike from the records bills total
ing S65S09 after Councilmen Casey
and Keaster had told of the excellent
work the camp is doing for afflicted
children.

MAY ENFORCE BLUE
LAWS IN ORANGE
Business Man Threatens tc
Retaliate if Forced to
Close Sundays.

Orange will be blue-so blue that a
photographer would need a fiashlight
In the middle of the day-if the threat
OF an Orange merchant Is carried out.
Trolley wheels will cease to turn,
soda fountains will be fzzless, Joy
rides will be turned into funeral pro-
cessions with all of the town for a
graveyard. Everywhere dust will set
tie and everywhere. life will stop.
Cheer up, all this vii happen on only
one day out of the seven il the threat
~ made good.
When the signs announcing the
list of stores in Orange that will
close on Sunday were distributed to-
day, one merchant was vehement in
declaring that he wouldn't close I'M
til every clause in the old blue laws
was enforced. Then, when every
thing would cease it's activities, he
would quietly lock his store and fol-
into oblivion for the day.
Leo Berlow. who has been giving
out the signs. and the other business
men who have agreed to close on
Sunday petitioned the Orange Com
mon Council last night to take such
steps as might be necessary to close
stores on Sunday. The petition was
referred to the committee on public
safety, shows, licenses, etc.
Most of the signs have been put
UP in the windows, but in a few in
stances the merchants have refused
to take up with the movement. The
,,,arobontc Of East 0ranpn have
cards displayed in the windows CIV
ing the names of those who will be
closed on the first day of the week.

BAREFOOT BOY, FOLLOWING
SPRINKLER, is INJURED

The next time 7-year-old Martin
Bruno. of Highland avenue, Kearny,
decides to battle his pedal extremities
it is not likely he will choose the
water wagon for the immersion. To-
day Martin toddled after the sprin-
kier driven by William McClung. He
was anxious to get the full benefit
of the shower. The danger of being
caught in the spokes of the rear
wheel never struck the youngster.
When he finally ventured too near
his right leg became twisted between
the spokes. Someone screamed a
warning and McClung pulled up his
team just In time to prevent a Sc
rious accident. The lad was lifted
from his perilous position Drs.
Jeremiah O'Connor and John w.
Reid. who were called, found the boy
had sustained an ugly cash in the
calf. He was otherwise uninjured.

THROUGH TROLLEY
ROUTE IS FAVORED
Mountain Residents May Ask
to Have Franchise
Held Up.

With the publication of official no.
tees for the public hearing on August
8 before the West Orange Town Coun-
ell of the application of the Mountain
Railway Company for the right to ex-
tend the switclback trolley line now
running from Orange Valley to st.
Cloud along the South Orange and
Maplewood tracks of the Public Serv-
ice, thence across a street to be
opened and running along Central
avenue to the Orange city line, inter
est in the fate of the application is
keen.
While official information is not
available in advance of the public
meeting the chances are the applica-
ton will not be immediately granted,
although the Councilmen and other
residents are anxious for direct line
to Newark for the benefit of the resi-
dents on the mountain and on the
other side. That a route between the
Main street and South Orange avenue
roads, which would also carry pas
sengers to and from the mountainside
section, Is needed is generally admit
ted, but sentiment has growL
strongly in favor of the extension Of
the Central avenue road through Or
ange and West Orange. thence up the
mountainside and on the other side of
the mountains.
That the Public Service folk will
eventually get the right-of-way to
create another connecting line with
Newark is the hope Of the mountain
folk. This condition of affairs Will
likely result in deferring favorable
action on the Mountain Company's
scheme to furnish a better outlet at
the foot of the mountain than Is at
the present time enjoyed.
Former Park Commissioner Freder-
iclS w. Kelsey, a property owner in
Central avenue, Orange, continues his
opposition to the extension of the
trolley line from its present terminus
at the dividing line between the City
of East Orange and Orange, which is
again before the public. He has is
sued another public letter reaffirming
his objections to the trolley extension
as inimical to the consummation OF
the plan to unite the scattered parks
In the county system.

ANTICIPATE APPLICATION;
LIMIT SALOON LICENSES
Caldwell Boroughites Say They
Have Enough at Present.

The moving picture question was
again discussed by the Caldwell Bor-
ough council last night. A letter was
received from the Rev. Thomas c. ].
McEnery and the Rev. Thomas j.
Judge, of st. Aloysius's Catholic
Church, asking for permission to run
a moving picture show In connection
with a church fair on August to
August 8. The application was re-
feIred to the mayor for investiga-
ton Applications to run moving
picture shows were received from W.
H. Post and E. II. Stewart and II.
B. Fitzgerald and George Metzger.
As usual, they We're turned over to
the law and order committee for in
vestigation.
Bids were received for laying the
sidewalk on Sumitt avenue. The
contract was awarded to John Bor-
ben, of Caldwell, who was the lowest
bidder.
Councilman Hicks reported that the
committee in charge of the taxes
of the American Homes Company
had two suggestions to offer. The
first was to turn the taxes over to
the collector for collection, and the
other to put the matter up to the
attorney. A resolution to turn 1t
over to the collector was passed.
Mayor Espy said he had heard re-
ports about a petition being circu-
lated for another hotel. He wanted
TO know If the council wanted to do
anything now, or if they wanted to
wait for the application to be pre-
scented. Councilman Stryker offered
a resolution limiting the hotels to
the present number for the present.
1t was passed without dissenting
vote.
