MORE TIME GIVEN
TO LACKAWANNA
East Orange Officials Adjourn
Without Acting on Grade
Crossing Matter.

At a conference between Mayor Ju-
Ian A. Gregory and the railroad COM
mittee of the East Orange City Coun-
ell this morning Councilman Robert
NJ. Dixon advised against haste in
insisting that the Lackawanna rail-
road make known it's attitude toward
East Oranges proposition for the
adjustment Of railroad crossings,
which calls for mi-depression of
tracks. Consequently the officials
took no action, agreeing to walt a
while longer for reply to the propo-
sition which was sent to the Lacka-
wanna early last summer.
Mr.. Dixon. who Is frequently in
touch with railroad magnates through
his business activities, assured Mayor
Gregory and the committee members
that the railroad has been considering
the proposition despite the general be-
lief to the contrary.
The officials were cioseted with May
or Gregory for several hours, but they
claimed afterward the situation was
merely discussed and nothing was ac-
complished. The executive vas re.uc-
tant to talk, and he reiterated the dec
larations of the ommittee members
that the conference developed into
discussion only.
1t Is said that much of the talking
had to do with the apparent desire of
the Lackawanna to accomplish the re-
moval of crossings in Orange as
quickly as possible. while East Or
angels wish to have an early settle
ment of the question is not receiving
much consideration from the railroad
officials
Concerning statements in newspa-
pers attributed to officials of the COM
pany that East Oranges attitude is
considered unjust by the railroad, Mr..
Dixon told the conference that these
utterances were not from officers of
the Lackawanna, and were being
made by men not in close touch with
the situation. Mr. Dixon entertains
every hope that the answer to the
semi depression proposition will be
made within short time, and he con-
veyed his belief to the mayor and his
colleagues on the committee
1t Is said that unless the Lacka-
wanna makes its attitude known soon
the City Council will take steps to ap-
peal to the Public Utility Commission
under the provisions of the Fielder
law providing for the elimination #
crossings, though 1t is generally un-
derstood that Mayor Gregory is alb
solutely opposed to this procedure.

PRIEST PUTS BAN
ON MODERN DANCES
Father BoyIan Warns Catholic
Parents Against Immoral
ReveIs.

In denouncing modern dances, Rev.
John F. Boylan, rector of the Church
of Our Lady of the Valley, Orange,
yesterday warned Catholic parents
against allowing their children, espe-
cially their daughters. to indulge in
what he termed these present day i'm
moral revels, even in their homes. He
said the dances are immoral whether
danced in private or public.
He also condemned Saturday night
dances. The people in charge of these
affairs, he said, try to conduct them
away from the supervision of any one
competent to act as censor. Sucn
people, he declared, are trafficking In
women's souls.
He spoke of the dangers that
threatened participants in the terpsi-
chorean evolutions that are con-
demned by Catholic and nom Catholic
clergy and by the secular and re-
ligious newspapers, and mentioned
the rumor that high church authori-
ties were favoring suspension OF
dances by Catholic societies until the
present craze" shall have passed
over.
That a committee managing recent
dance in the valley stopped some OF
the more daring features of the
tango and similar maneuvers was
statement he made, and he COM
mended the young men who had de-
clined to join the young women In the
dances, and the latter had to in
dulge without male companions, the
women dancing with each other.
The priest denounced Saturday
night dances as a vicious evil ana
told how a young man had offered on
behalf of his Club a parish dona-
ton. This was refused by the priest
when he learned the organization was
offering pittances to the clergy. as
protection against pulpit attacks on
Saturday evening social affairs. He
said it was simply a "bribe" offer,
which should be refused by every
.n1arournan

TOO ILL FOR GOLF.
SHOOTS HIMSELF
r. s. crombie, of South Or
ange, Ends Life in West
ern City.

R. s. Crombie, of 413 Centre street,
South Orange, a wealthy wholesaler
of the firm of r. s. Crombie & Co.,
himself on Saturday in Los Angeles,
Cal. Previous to his fatal act, Mr..
Crombie addressed letters to all his
business associates and to his wife,
who is at the Cropbie home.
MI Crombie was on his annual tour
to the branch of his business in Los
Angeles and had just closed a busi-
ness session with his associates, in
which the work for the year had been
mapped out. He had been in failing
health for several years and 1t was
apparent to most of his business as
Sociates that this would have been his
last trip to Los Angeles in any event.
Much of his time was spent in Paris
and at the German baths. Gradually
he gave up all his sports. with the
exception of golf, to which he was
greatly devoted.
To indulge his pastime on this trip
he took his golf clubs along as usual,
but when he found that his health
was too feeble to permit him to play
he determined to end his life. He left
letters to his wife and his business
associates to close up his affairs.
Mrs. Crombie was overcome when
she heard last night Of her husbands
act. DR.. M. Herbert Simmons was
called to attend her. Until she was
married to Mr.. Crombie, two years
ago in Paris, she was Mrs. Adelaide
Weeks.
Mr.. Crombie was fifty-one years old
and head of firm of -four exporters,
with offices in New York, Minneapolis
and San Francisco and with represen-
tatives in numerous exporting cities.
For many years Mr.. Crombie had
lived in Paris where he had large
home. A year ago he returned to
make his residence in this country,
and purchased one of the largest and
finest homes in South Orange The
house Is filled with furniture gathered
from all over the world and is said to
be one OF the finest suburban homes
about New York. He and Mrs. Crom-
bic brought a dozen or more Of their
Paris servants with them.
Mr.. Crombie went to Los Angeles
two weeks ago to consult with his
partner, Frank s. Tearne, and while
there lived at the Union League Club.
Mrs. Crombie received two letters and
several telegrams from him, all In a
most cheerful vein, and she is unable
to explain his suicide. unless 1t was
because he suffered from heart dis
ease.
His physician would not even let
him play golf" Mrs. Crombie said,
because of his weak heart and for
babe him to join the Essex County
Country Club. But he was always
cheerful and never mentioned sui
eide"
Mrs. Crombie will leave for Los An
geles today to take charge Of her
husbands funeral, which will be held
in that place. Besides his wife. the
deceased is survived by his mother
Mrs. Robert s. Crombie, who resides
in Canada; three brothers and 9
sister
