Traffic Ordinance Change

An amendment to the traffic ordi-
nance which abridges the discretion
airy power of the town recorder in
dealing with offenders evoked en-
phatic objections from Mayor William
H., Glorieux at a meeting of the town
commission last night The mayor
commended that the discretionary
power now given the recorder should
not be limited in the least.
The amendment was introduced by
Commissioner Leonard Setaro. THE
purpose of this amendment" declared
Commissioner Setaro, us to direct the
recorder to impose fine where the
charge is proven and the accused
found guilty. The police complain
that offenders when arrested are let
off with reprimand. want to stop
that, if possible. This amendment
permits latitude in the fine. The
recorder may impose fine OF 81 to
SIS This latitude enables him to take
into account extenuating circum-
stances"
Commissioners Setaro's explanation
did not satisfy Mayor Glorieux. THE
full discretionary power of the recor-
der ought to stand as 1t Is" he main

may be totally ignorant of our traffic

power to let off such offenders with

SCHOOL CHANGE
Writes Open Letter Directing
TO Plan for One
Session.

An open letter has been issued by
Mrs. Emerson Brooks, of Clinton ave-
nue., Montclair, in connection with
the question of adopting the one or
two session plan in the Montclair
public schools. The matter is to be
taken up by the Monrclair Board Of
Education next Tuesday night. Mrs.
Brooks's letter is in part as follows;
my observations of my own as well
as of others children are that this
generation needs more study. more
work, more supervision over their
pleasures than those of my day, and
far more watchfulness and eagle
eye of parent, teacher or policeman
than those boys and girls of our dear
grandparents day and generation.

JUDGE MOUNTAIN
REFUSES TO SEEK
MAYORALTY SEAT
Unwilling to Enter Republican
Primary Fight in East
Orange.

Judge WorraI F. Mountain, Of the
East Orange District Court, refuses
to seek the Republican nomination
for mayor of East Orange. An
nouncement to this effect was made
today by former Councilman Edward
S. Pierson and former City Counsel
Philemon z. Woodruff. leaders Of the
Citizens Committee Of Fifty. who had
been trying to induce Judge Noun
tain to consent to run.

Clerk John B. Woolston viii have q
clear field unless the Citizens Com
mittee Of Fifty can get somebody
else in the race. In some quarters
the name of AssembiyTnan ". Give
Crosby has been suggested for the
place.
Other than to admit that Judge
Mountain has forwarded his declina-
ton to oppose the former county Of
| fetal for the nomination Mr.. Pierson
would not discuss the matter today.
His interviewer managed to illicit
from him, however, a declaration that
previous to the launching OF the boom
for Judge Mountain Mr.. Woolston
had said In conference that he did
not intend to aspire to the office.
Mr.. Pierson is drafting a statement
I regarding the decision OF Judge
Mountain, but he will not make It
public until Mr.. Woodruff has oppor-
tunity to see it, he said. Mr.. Wood
ruff is out of town today.
It was rumored about IN political
circles today that Judge Mountain
| had informed his boomers that he did
not propose to engage in a fight with
Mr.. Woolston for an Office that had
no particular attraction for him. He
declined TO talk about the matter to-
| day.
1t was after he had been informed

office that he agreed to consider en-
tering the race When Mr.. Woolston
announced his candidacy Judge
Mountain then said he doubted II he

WIN SUIT FOR SAB
AFTERLONG DELAY
Suit Resurrected in Orange
District Court After
Eight Years.

That District Court cases can be
continued practically in perpetuity
and even rival the famous Jarndyce
versus Jarndyce litigation was at
tested yesterday when a suit that had
fingered in the musty files of the Or
ange District Court was resurrected
after eight years and successfully
prosecuted by William A. Lord. for
merly city counsel of Orange. Mr..
Lord represented the Artistic Adver-
Using Company. of New York, which
sued A. Frank Spangler, of Washing
ton street, East Orange, for the cost
of advertising cuts furnished in 1904.
1t appears that in 1906. Mr.. Lord,
representing Paul Hellinger, trading
under the advertising company name
started proceedings against Spang-
Ter and had the case marked mot
moved" The defendant evidently
seemed of the opinion that the pro-
ceedings were ended and no court
action was taken by either side since
the papers were fled. Under the Dis
trict Court rules a case marked mot
moved" may be resurrected at any
time by the plaintiffs attorney CIV
ing the defendant five days notice,
although the latter might have ter
minated the case by moving a non
suit.
The statute of limitations was cited
yesterday by William Jacobus, coun-
sci for the defendant, but Judge Dan
tel A. Dugan ruled that 1t did not
apply and that Mr.. Lord was within
his rights in moving the case for
trial. Then the defendant alleged the
cuts sent were not all delivered and
he was not satisfied with the ones
he did receive.
When the plaintiff showed the order
by Spangler for the material the
court ruled in his favor and gave
Judgment for s43.15, which included

Irvington Officials VIII Use
Multigraph to Save Money

In order to reduce the size of their
printing bills the members of the
Irvington Town Commission voted
last night to engage a multigraph
operator at the salary Of $40 per week
to operate the multigraph which was
recently purchased. It is understood
to be the intention Of the commits
sioners to print their own stationery.
and also such legal advertisements
which the Walsh act permits TO be
distributed in pamphlet form.
BY reason of the smaller salary
paid multigraph operator IN COM
parison with a printer the commits
sioners expect to save nearly $1,000
annually.

Watch Stolen from Football
Player Is Recovered by Him

Lawrence Roper. the crack football
player of the East Orange High
\ School, who is hose inspector for the
water department of that city in the
simmer months, last night recovered
watch and charm he was awarded
for his performance on the gridiron,
which was stolen from him at the
municipal stables yesterday after
noon.
valuing the charm highly, Larry"
was determined to recover the jewel
il that was possible, and when he
learned that the police entertained
but slight hope of getting back the
emblem he started out on a little de-
tective mission of his own after sup
per last night.
He was walking in Long street,
which thoroughfare is near the
stables, when he spotted youth who
he remembered having seen near the
municipal yard in the afternoon. En-
tering the boys yard he began putt
ting him through third degree"
when the chaps father, who was
near by recalled his son had brought
home the watch. To his parents the
lad declared he found time timepiece
and charm at the entrance to the
stables.
Larry says the watch was in
pocket on wagon in the stable, and
\ he is satisfied the boy purloined the
jewel He breathed relief when he
recovered the charm. He has not de-
termined whether he will have the
boy arrested.

HUNGARIANS IN
WEST ORANGE TO
RETURN FOR WAR
Foreign Colony Aroused by Bull
Ietins-AdVised to Sail
Early.

The war fever Is rampant in the
foreign quarter of West Orange and
today Austrians and Hungarians
started to buy tickets for the return
trip to Austria-H Hungary, having
been advised by the consuls that if
they want to fight the Servlans the
uncertainty of ocean travel necessi-
tates early passage from New York.
All is hustle and exeI5enent in the
little colony, and It is likely quite a
number OF men, who are reservists
will hasten back to axe UP arms.
One of the first groups to join the
returning forces consists of three
brothers In Ashland avenue. They
are Matthias and Nick Kihm, OF SO
Ashland avenue and their brother
Frank, of No. IS. The complete ar
rangements for their departure were
not made today, as there does not ap-
pear to be a general Aesire of all
hands to return. 80 wives of the
men, however, will probably go with
them. Mrs Frank kim, with her
eleven-months-old daughter, Mar
garet, will go with her husband, and
Mrs Matthias kim will also go
abroad, while the others in the colony
will make up their minds within the
next day or two whether to return
or stay here. The families viii go
either by the Zealand on Saturday
or by steamers the first of next week
There are number of the en-
thusiasts who are not in financial
condition to purchase their tickets
for passage, however, and unless the
authorities finance the trip some will
be unable to make the journey. One
women in the West Orange colony
told of her husband who has had five
years service in the army and is
anxious to shoulder arms for his
country, but lack of employment and
sickness, have been a severe drain
upon the slender resources of the
family and his ambition to fight may
not be realized.
Quite a number of the foreigners
interested in the European row are
among the thousands of Edison fac
tory employees. Two of the Kihm
brothers, Frank and Nick, work for
the inventor, while the other brother
is halter, employed at the Rutan
shop. Work has not been brisk for
quite a number of the colony, their
wives having to share in the bread
winning, and this lack of work may
be strong factor in the decision of
the men to return to their countries.

rLulu-Foda," French Craze, to

port Society.

Dancing her way to the topmost
pinnacle of success within a year is
the feat performed by an eighteen
year-old East Orange girl She is
Miss Margaret Hawkesworth, who
last summer was practically unknown
in the dancing world. Today she is
the faVorite exponent of modern steps
for the exclusive Newport set and

Gently returned from a two months
visit to Paris. I'VE brought home
the newest French tango" Miss
HawKesworth said today, land will
introduce it in Newport next month
at dinner dance table given by Mrs.
Stuyvesant Fish. 1t consists of FIVE
steps and is called 'Lulu-Foda.'
1--WE will also present an original
pantomine tango, danced to a little
tragic story told in song. This style
of tango" added Miss Hawkesworth,
us really new IN America"
Miss Hawkesworth and Mr.. Durant
danced in Paris before President
Poincare, at an entertainment given
In June by George Kessler. Jean de
Reske, the tenor, invited them to
dance for his guests during their
stay, once at his home and again at
a studio tea. Dancing at the Cafe de
Paree in the evening and at teas at
the Pre- Catelon afternoons, besides
teaching titled foreigners the Ameri-
can way to do the hesitation and
tango, gave them little time to in
dulge in the social life at the French
capital Miss Hawkesworth said, in
esponse to a question.
I'VE practise seven hours each
day." she said. THE gift of rhyth-
mic motion helped us of course, but
long, hard labor and ceaseless efforts
towards perfection are all l can at
tribute to our success. The French
/ people were crazy about our dane
ing" she added with a laugh.
In one of the current fashion maya
zines Poiret is showing sketches OF
Miss Hawkesworth in wonderful eve

signed by him especially for her.

Hiss Hawkesworth with drawing

values above all her possessions.
All this has happened to a little

Just for the love of dancing
During their stay in Newport they
will dance also at a large outdoor
fete to be given by Mrs. Arthur Curtis

and will teach society how to dance
