POLICE CHIEF ENDS
O'GORMAN'S TERM
At Paterson Mayors Sugges-
ton He Elects Fire Com
mission Secretary.


PATERSON, Jan. SIN compli-
ance with orders from Mayor Robert
Hayes Fordyoe, Police Chief John
Bimson yesterday elected from office
James L. O'Gorman, secretary to the
police and fire commission. The ejec-
ton consisted of the chief placing
his hand on Mr.. O'Gorman's shoulder
and escorting him to the street.
His place as secretary to the board
was taken by John Quincy Hayes,
UNCLE of the mayor.
Mr.. O'Gorman claims to have been
elected secretary by the Board Of Po-
lice and Fire Commissioners for a
term of two years. Mayor Fordyce
had informed him that he was not
the secretary and directed him to va
cate. He refused. The mayor then
directed Chief Bimson to act.
The trouble arises over the differ
ence of opinion of two new members
to the police and fire commission ap-
pointed by the new mayor on January
l, and which commissioners are said
not to be In accord with the two old
members whose terms of office run
out next year.
Although the new board has been
in power q week no organization has
been perfected yet. If the deadlock
continues the salaries of every MEM
Der of the police and fire departments
may be held up. Mr.. O'Gorman, after
his election, announced he would take
the matter into the courts to be de-
cided.

SUIT 27 YEARS
OLD IS NEAR END
Action to Clear Title on Proper
ty at island Beach Again
in Court.

Suit started twenty-seven years
ago to clear the title to a strip Of
property at Island Beach, near Sea-
side Park. is about ready to be
brought to an issue. The bill to set
tie flaws in the title was filed in the
Court OF Chancery by Elijah r.
Aumack and his wife, Matilda NJ.
Aumack. The defendants, two Of
whom have died since the suit was
first instituted, are George w. Dor
rance, of Bristol; James M. Libbey,
of New York: William Hathaway,
of Long Branch; Charles Maxson,
of Point Pleasant, and Charles
Haight, OF Freehold.
Both of the Aumacks are dead.
When the litigation was started
Cortlandt Parker and r. Wayne Par
ker represented the eompla nants
and Charles Haight appeared for the
defendants. Testimony was given be.
fore William Paterson and ]. Holmes
Birdsall, special masters, both Of
whom are dead.
The case was referred to Chancellor
McGlll, now dead; to Vice-Chancellor
Bird, who Is also dead, and Vice
Chancellor Gray, to whom the case
was sent, died soon afterward. Re-
Gently heirs OF the AmuckS made ap-
plication to be substituted as COM
plainants. This was granted.
Yesterday the case was brought be-
fore Vice-Chancellor Backes for a
final hearir 2. At the request of the
defendants the matter was adjourned.
Cortlandt Parker, speaking Of the
case today, said:
Some editorial writer wanted to
know how much the lawyers were
getting out of this case for the delay.
You can say for me that our client
hasn't paid a single penny for coun-
sci fees. That's how much we're get
ting"
Continuing, Mr.. Parker said the
case had been delayed because neither
of the parties in the case desired TO
bring the matter to an issue. It
could have been done any time had
they wanted to force the issue, he
said.

Cornell Plans to Increase
Fee of Backward Students

ITHACA, Jan. S.-A plan to in
crease by $50 per year the tuition of
backward students is being consid-
cred by the Cornell University fac
ulty. In his last report Professor
Charles H. Hull. former dean of the
college of arts and sciences, recon-
mended that student who has fail
ed to pass his examinations in all his
required work. and who is not so de-
linquent as to be dropped should be
called upon to pay extra tuition.
Pointing out that in ten years 977
students have come under the formal
disapprobation of the faculty Of the
college on account of inferior schol-
arship. Professor Hull says that
much time, energy and money is be-
ing wasted by the university upon
such persons. Referring to his plan,
he says that under 1t there would
be more revenues and fewer unde-
sirable students.

YOUNGSTOWN, Jan. s-Arrange-
ments are being perfected for the
formal opening of the Morris County
tuberculosis Hospital on February l..
The board Of managers will probably
hold some form of public exercises
though their nature has not yet been
determined. 1t was planned 10 open
the hospital on January 1, but delays
in the construction necessitated the
postponement OF the opening date,
though the head nurse, Miss Butler
and the matron, Mrs. William Num-,
have been under contact since De-
cember 1.
All the furniture and equipment has
arrived and will soon he set in place.
An expert in hospital equipment lent
aid In selecting the furnishing and
apparatus for the new building.
Duplicate of saranao Lakes.
The hospital Is duplicate of the
reception hospital at Saranac Lake
with notifications and improvements.
1t has a capacity of rhirty patients.
One of the lean-to wings has been
built and the board of freeho.ders IN
it's budget appropriated $4,000 for
permanent improvement of the Nns-
pital, with the other lean-to to be
started at once. The one completed
is an improved model of one at Sara
nae Lake, the Morris county shack"
however, costing about $4,000 to build,
while the Saranac Lake lean-to was
put up for $1,000, the workmanship
of course, on the local building being
far superior to the New York state
one. The cost of the entire hospital
plant and its site is $4,000. The board
of freeholders has appropriated &c.,
900 for current expenses of the hos
pital. No arrangement has yet been
made for a medical director.

station and around the yards and
dock, they said.
Mrs. Gellatly claims through Albert
Wall, her attorney, that some OF this
debris struck her on the head as she
alighted from train and, coupled

said, and on account OF 1t she is un-
able to motor or drive as she used to

Inquest Evidence FavOrs
Woman Who Shot SuitOr


MORRISTOWN, Jan. S.-That
Frank Cranbone met his death from
a shot fired by Mrs. Theresa Felicati,
of Boonton, on December 81, was the
verdict of a coroner's jury after Cor
oner Lawrence ]. Welsh had con-
Quoted an inquest at the Court House
this afternoon. The woman Is now
in jail on a charge of murder.
Evidence at the inquest would seem
to justify for the shooting. Witnesses
testified that the man, an Italian resi-
dent of Boonton, had boosted that he
would make her his mistress despite
the fact that her husband was living
with her. He went to her home at
noon, the witnesses declared, and de-
manded admittance. The woman
called upon him to go away and
threatened to shoot, and when he per-
sisted in his demand for admittance
she fired twice through the door. The
bullet that killed Cranbone, accord
ing to Mr.. Clifford Mills and DR.. Mark
Scott, punctured the mans left ven-
tricle.
