G|LLEN DENIES HE
RAPED MEMBERS
OF TRADES COUNCIL
Tells Union Men He Did Not
Question Their Honesty in
Centre Market Matter.

Charles P. Gillen. Board of Works
commissioner. appeared at the
weekly meeting of the Essex Trades
Council last night to explain several
remarks in regard to members of the
council which had been attributed to
him.
At a meeting of the council two
weeks ago it was charged by several
of the delegates that Mr.. Gillen had
said that he knew there was dissatis-
faction among some of the members
of the council because the Centre
Market contract was held up by the
courts and some of them did not get
jobs promised them by the con-
tractors.
Commissioner Giilen was invited to
appear before the council and explain
this statement attributed to him. A
verbal tilt took place between Mr..
Gilien and Delegate William j.
Brennan at the meeting last night.
Mr.. Gillen said he had not received
the letter from Brennan inviting him
to appear before the council, while
Brennan was quite sure he had
mailed the letter at Broad and Mar
ket streets in the presence of two
friends.
Mr.. Gillen admitted making re-
marks similar in nature to those
quoted, but said that their meaning
had been misunderstood He had not
intended to reflect on the honesty of
any member OF the council, he said.
The building of a. new market would
mean more work for many union
men. he said, and it was this fact
that he had commented upon.
1t was only natural that union men
would wish to see work on the mar
ket go on for this reason, he de-
clared. He assured them that he had
had nothing whatever to do with
having the contract held up.
Congestion of traffic on Mulberry
street between the market and Mar
ket street was referred to by Mr..
Gillen. He said that five patro1men
had been unable to cope with the
crush of traffic at this point.
Delegate Brennan spoke in favor of
the market. He declared that IL the
present market was moved the city
might not have another one for
twenty years and that 1t was likely
to be put in an out-of -the-way place.
The municipal committee of the
council was instructed to interview
the Board of Works commissioners
in regard to work on the Broad street
paving. 1t was reported to the coun-
Gil that men employed in the paving
operations were working more than
eight hours a day.

SEEK CITIZENSHIP
TOAVO|D MUSKET
Foreigners Here Flock to Nat
uralization Bureau to Dodge
War Service Abroad.

Extra provisions are being made by
the naturalization bureau in Newark
to accommodate the rush for natural
ization papers expected because of
the critical war conditions in En-
rope. There are hundreds of foreign
ers in Newark and Essex county who
are subject to recall to their native
country for military service in the
present crisis. If the subjects refuse
the call they lose their citizenship in
their fatherland.
The naturalization officers here ex-
pect that hundreds of the foreigners
will seek protection from recall by
becoming United States citizens. In
anticipation of this increased bust
ness the naturalization officers are
making every provision to handle the
applications with as little delay and
confusion as possible.
There are two ways by which
foreigners can become American citi-
gems in this city One is through the
Essex County Common Pleas Court
The other is through the agency of
the United States District Court.
The county court has looked after
the majority Of the naturalization
cases. In the present crisis, however,
preparations are being made by the
United States court to assist the
county court.
The local branch of the United
States District Court is in room 90
of the postoffice. It is in charge of
Deputy Clerk William B. Reilly. of
Jersey City.
Wednesday. November 4. has been
fixed by the Federal court as the first
naturalization day. other dates will
be announced later. In order to be-
come naturalized on November 4 ap-
plicants should apply for their first
papers on or before August 5. This
viii enable them to come within the
ninety-day limit. The law requires
that ninety days shall elapse between
the fling Of the petition and the final
hearings

BROAD STREET A PASTURE? SURE; AT
LEAST THERE'S GRASS GROWING THERE

Broad street is going back to first
principles. Years ago, more years
ago than anybody living in Newark
now can remember, it used to be a
pasture and COWS wandered around
where automobiles and trolley cars
now have sway And, in what ought
to be one of its busiest parts, the
street is getting pasture-like again.
AT least a plot of grass, ten feet
square, has appeared.
The one verdant spot in Broad
streets long gray surface. is in front
of the building of the Mutual Bene-
fit Life Insurance Company at Elin-
ton street. It's presence there would
seem to disprowe the oft-quoted say
ing that grass never grows on a race
track, for there is almost a constant
stream of automobiles and other
vehicles passing over the place where
the grass grows for at least twelve

County Jail, Not New York,
Will House Pair for Summer

Two youths, who said they were
from Atlantic City and were en- route
ito New York to see the sights, will So
journ in the county Jail for the sum-
lmer as the result of their meeting
with Sergeant Stillman and PATROL
man Mcdonald, of the First precinct.
They gave their names as Alfred
Price, twenty-one years old, and
George Kelly, eighteen years old. The
policemen met them in Lincoln Park
Yesterday afternoon, and when they
could not satisfactorily explain how
q bicycle came to be in their possess
sion they were taken to the station
house. When searched a loaded re-
volver was found concealed in Prices
pocket. Acting Judge Rooney held
him in 5000 bail to await the action
of the grand jury and his COM
panion was turned over to the pro-
baton officer

taken out of the water alive, but the
woman died. In addition to all the
other precautions hitherto adopted,
the commission has installed pull
motor at Branch Brook Park and one
at Weequahic Park and has caused
the park policemen to be instructed in
its use. The commission has directed
also that motors be installed in all
police boats so that the officers in
case of accident may reach the place
more quickly and not exhausted by
hard rowing, thus saving their
strength for diving or swimming or
struggling with the drowning. At
both lakes boats equipped with oars
are tied to posts by the shore ready in
case of accident for use by anyone.
Life preservers are placed at intervals
along the shore. Every park police
man must be an expert swimmer, and
is given weekly practise every sum-
mer, together with lessons as to rescu-
ing and resuscitating the drowning.
The commission has done its utmost,
therefore, to prevent accidents, but
they will continue to occur unless the
public will carefully obey the rules as
to boating which are made solely for
its protection.
