SKATING BALL UP
IN PARKS HERE
School Children Make Up
Greater Part of Crowds on
Newark Lakes.

The red ball is up again. Because
of the recent stormy weather. skating
was temporarily discontinued yester-
day, but during the night the lakes
and ponds in and around the city
took on a new coating of smooth ice,
and today they were jammed with
skaters.
School children, who are having
their holiday vacation, made up the
largest part of the throng of skaters
at Branch Brook, Weequahic and
West side parks, but along toward
afternoon there was a crowd of
grown-ups. The fat man, who in
sists upon skating as a weight re-
ducer, was much In evidence.
The offices at the parks, as well as
The Star office. were besieged with
telephone inquiries from skaters to-
day, asking about the condition OF
the Ice at the parks. Tomorrow,
weather permitting. there should be
a record breaking crowd of skaters
on all the ponds and lakes in and
around Newark.

FAIR WEATHERIS
EXPECTED TONIGHT
Uncertainty as to Temperature,
However, Is Expressed by
Forecaster.

At IL o'clock this morning there was
slight furry of snow downtown and
an hour later the sun was shinink.
The forecaster said at noon that he
expected the weather to be generally
fair tonight and tomorrow and prob
ably no great change in the tempers-
ture over New Years Day.
He was not very certain about ths
temperature, however, and inclined to
the belief that tonight will be some
what colder than last night, even
though the expected cold wave from
the west seems to have lost its snap
and strength.
The lowest temperature last night
was 26 and at noon today 1t was only
three degrees higher with a mild
breeze out of the west. Light to mod
crate variable winds are looked for
tomorrow.
The Washington forecaster promises
q white New Years Day in the north
ern States of the Middle West, but
generally fair in this section.

Reports from Various Sections
of City Show Marrone's
Men Cleaning Up.

Reports from several sections OF the
city today showed that there was
some Improvement in the system OF
collecting garbage. The Improvement
is believed to be a result Of the hear
ing of the Board OF Works yesterday
afternoon, when Joseph Marrone. the
city scavenger, was called on for an
explanation as TO why he was not
carrying out the terms of his contract
with the city. His representatives ex-
planned that weather conditions were
such that it was almost Impossible TO
give prompt service.
The Board OF Works then voted
down a resolution introduced by Com
missioner Charles P. Gillen calling
for a fine of $500 per day on Marrone
Mr.. Gillen claimed that the Marrone
force not alone failed to make prompt
collections, but also scattered garbage
in the streets.

Mr.. Weingarten said that neither
paper nor ashes has been taken from
his house this week. and that not until
this morning was any ashes taken
from the apartment house owned by
him and his brother at Clinton ave-
nue. and Stratford place. Thirty fam
lilies live in this building, and this
morning, when six loads Of ashes had
accumulated, one load was removed.
"If we throw the ashes on the side

CREDITORS FINED
$1,000 FOR TAKING.
GROCERY STORE
Damages Are Granted Alleged
Bankrupt by Referee Adams
as Special Master.

For selling the store and assets OF
Morris Weissbord, under q petition
in bankruptcy, three petitioning cred
itors of the former alleged bankrupt
are ordered to pay Weissbord $1,000
damages in a decision handed down
today by Bankrupt Referee Edwin G..
Adams as special master. Weissbord
conducted a grocery store in New
Jersey Railroad avenue.
The damages include costs, coun-
sci fees, expenses and damages oc-
casioned by the seizure, taking and
retention of the property of the al
legged bankrupt.
The total amount of the damages
found against the petitioning credit.
ors is 81, ,295. Their bond was only
$1,000. Therefore, this is all that can
be assessed against them. The cred
itors affected are Henry Koch, trad
ing as II. Koch g. Co.; Donner, Dem
holtz Company, corporation, and
George e. Bremen.
The referee found the damages
against the alleged bankrupt caused
by the petitioning creditors to be as
follows: Loss of store profits, $556,29;
counsel fees on taking property, $3.50;
special masters fees and costs,
$3.50 so: counsel fees in damage pro-
eeedings $500. Total, $1,295.Ss.
The petitioning creditors are bonded
by a security company, and the bond
will be forfeited unless the respon-
dents appeal the case.
In addition to the $1,000 assessed
against the petitioning creditors they
were required to pay a fee of $95 to
Mortimer Lowy for his services as
receiver for the alleged bankrupt,
pending a decision in the insolvency
proceedings.
A jury in the United States District
Court found that Weissbord was
solvent. This dismissed the bank
ruptcy petition which had been filed
against him. Judge Thomas G..
Haight appointed Mr.. Adams a
special master to take testimony in
the proceedings brought by the
alleged bankrupt to recover damages
from the petitioning creditors for
seizure of Weissbords property. After
hearing the testimony the master
handed down his decision
