VAST THRONG AT
PRIESTS T'SFUNERAL
IN EAST ORANGE
Public Officials and Clergymen
Pay Tribute to Father Cal
laghan's Memory.

With the recitation Of the solemn
office for the dead priest and celehra-
ton of a solemn pontifical mass final
honors were paid this morning to
Rev. John P. Callaghan. rector of the
Church of Our Lady Help Of Chris
tians, East Orange. The body was
laid to rest in the family chapel in
the Cemetery of the Holy Sepulchre,
that city.
The tribute of his adopted city was
a remarkable one, and many persons
from various sections of New Jersey
and New York were in the crowd
which tested the capacity of the
marble edif1ce at Main and Clinton
streets. Public officials and clergy
were in the throng of mourners.
Following out the ideas of the
priest, which were well known as
favoring the strictest simplicity, the
marble church was garbed in the
purple mounting of the Catholic
ritual, with the black cloth also used
in the simple plan of festooning the
coIors. The altar arrangement was
expressive of the sorrow felt for the
priest Above the seat of Bishop
John J. O'Connor was the color of
his office. The mourning colors were
draped over the confessionals and the
also garbed in sombre hue.
At the head of the centre aisle IN
simple caslzet lay the body OF the
priest, with lighted candles shedding
a subdued radiance upon his features,
which at rest indicated little OF the
tedious pain and suffering that
marked the last two years of his life.
Long before the hour for the services
the church was filled, save where
awaited the groups OF
relatives, officials, clergy and sisters
and the parish societies. All night
long watchers kept vigil, and even at
midnight a few late workers called
to pay their respects and say prayer
for the priests soul.
At $3.50 o'clock the services were
opened with the chanting of the office
for the dead. This was done by Rev.
Fred c. O'Neill, pastor of the Church
Of the Blessed Sacrament. and Rev.
l.. Fitzpatrick, of st. Alloy
sius's Church, both of this city. At
the conclusion of this impressive cere-
mony, in which the visiting clergy

appointed Hennessy to investigate the
highway department. and told him to
60 to the end of the rope. drive out
the grafters and to spare nobody
"The Legislature, however, refused

was stolen.
Later Hennessy discovered as

GARBAGE ATTACK
OF THE NEWS
Declares lie Has Not Been Too
Lenient With Contractor

COMMISSIONER BRANDS
STATEMENTS AS FALSE
Calls Accusations Deliberate
Observation-Disclosures City
Will Not Lose Money.

Replying to attacks made on him
by the Evening News, Charles p. Gill
len made statement today showing
the exact situation with relation to
the garbage contract. Mr.. Gillen, who
Is chairman of the street committee
of the Board of Public Works, called
a meeting of the full board for Mon
day to arrange for the collection of
penalties under the garbage disposal
contract.
1t was stated that the members of
the committee under the leadership
of Commissioner Gillen, were inclined
to be to lenient to Joseph Marrone,
the contractor. and that the city
would suffer great loss because of the
attitude of the board. The commits
sioner declares that these statements
are absolutely false and are made
solely because he has pointed out the
friendship of the News for railroad
corporations.
In his statement Mr.. Gillen makes
1t clear that the board has no inten-
tion of letting UP on Marrone, and
that the city will not lose one cent
because of his failure to live up to his
contract He says:
ssIt has been deliberately misstated
that the city will have to stand the
cost of the collection of garbage and
ashes by its own wagons and men.
AS matter of fact we are going to

in the contract which gives the city
the right TO make collections where

the penalties on Marrone for his fail

WORST OYSTER
FAMINE IN TEN
YEARS REPORTED
Local Dealers Declare Ice and
Storms Are Responsible for
Conditions.

Fish dealers in this city today re-
ported the worse oystfr famine in
more than ten years lot an oyster
Wholesale houses Thursday or yes
terday, they said. and today there is
less than half enough to supply the
demand.
The exceptionally cold weather in
this section, and storms in the South
ern waters where oyster beds are
located. are responsible for the con-
ditions, oyster dealers say.
Along the Long Island shores,
where the most fertile oyster grounds
of this section are, ice has made the
sible at RockaWay, it was said,
fishermen have been able to get their
boats out to the oyster beds by cut
ting the ice, but 1t has been impossi-
BILE to get the craft back to shore
again after loading them with oys-
ters. At Greenpoint, Bluepoint and
the other Long Island oyster grounds,
conditions are said to be worse than
at any time in ten years.
Housewives are feeling the present
famine particularly becausesof its ar
rival in the first week ofsthe lenten
season, when the demand for oysters
usually keeps dealers hustling to sup
ply it even under ordinary conditions.
Much less than half as much oysters
as will be sought today are on the
stands of dealers.
The scarcity of oysters, dealers said
today, has not caused the price to be
raised. Dealers have not taken ad-
vantage of the short sllDplV to get a.
bigger profit than usual from CUSTOM
ers. Oysters of all kinds were on sale
today at their usual prices, but it was
"grst come first served"
Dealers do not expect the famine to
last more than a day or two more
Today's thaw and the prediction OF
warmer weather gave them hope that
the ice will disappear from the oyster
bed with rapidity and that a normal
supply will be on hand early next
week.

MISSING NEWARK
WOMAN PER|SHED
FROM EXPOSURE
Mrs. Lynch, Autopsy Shows
Was Not Foul Play Victim.
Found in Caldwell.

After an autopsy on the body of
Mrs. Elizabeth A. Lynch. of las Sey-
mour avenue, this city which was
found frozen IN snow drift near
Hunters pond. Caldwell yesterday,
County Physician Mckenzie today
announced the woman had died from
exposure It was feared Mrs. Lynch,
who had been missing two weeks, had
met with foul play.
The authorities were inclined to
this view by the fact that the ground
near where Mrs. Lynch was found
bore eevry evidence of having been
the scene of the struggle, and the dis
arranged clothing of the dead woman
and the fact that her false teeth had
fallen from her mouth helped TO
bolster up this theory.
Patrick Blewitt was reporting the
absence of his mother-in-la law to the
Newark police yesterday about the
time the body was found.

HUNDREDS MAKE
INCOME REPORT
Local Internal Revenue Office tc
Remain Open Until Six To-
night and Monday.

About twenty-five hundred income
tax returns were received today at
the local collector of revenues office.
DIR. Herman c. H. Herold, Internal
revenue collector. stated that neariy
all of the returns are in and predicts
very few violations of the rule. The
office will remain open until 6 O'Clock
tonight to handle the rush and will
also be open until s o'clock on Monday
night. Owing 10 the first of the
month falling on Sunday, the time
limit has been set to Monday, March z.
Deputy Collector E. Allen Smith and
a force of clerks worked from early
morning and cannot cope with the
rush. It will take several weeks at
least before the matter Is sorted and
reports sent to the treasury depart
ment at Washington.
Five hundred registered letters
were received at the office by the first
mail. Many persons appeared at the
office in person. All day long the
office and corridors were packed with
a stream of people filing returns.
According to Mr.. Smith, nearly all
of the big corporations have made
returns. Many of the smaller ones
kept the telephone busy at the local
office today making inquiries.
Although the local office closes at
non Saturdays yet DR.. Herold, acting
under advice from Washington, or
dered the local force to remain at
work until 6 o'clock tonight
Although the authorities in Wash
ington are anxious for a report, yet
Mr.. Smith states that 1t will be
weeks before the clerks can attempt
the work. 1t has been decided to
take either thousand or five hun
dred returns and figure the amount
due. This will be taken as an aver
age and a rough estimate sent to
Washington.
According to the statements of DR..
Herold there will be very few who
are delinquent in making returns.
About four hundred have been
granted extension of time. At this
season of the year many of the
wealthier people sojourn in foreign
lands or in the South. Sickness and
absence are the only two causes earn
ing an extension of time.
