Excites Many Bloomfield Boys

There was considerable excitement
among the boys of Bloomfield late
yesterday afternoon when several of
their number spread the story that
T.. A. Edden, of Washington street,
Jhad boxes of fire-crac, ers in his win
dow labeled "ten-ineh ammunition
for guns" Through the parents of
one of the youngsters Councilman
John G. Parkin, who lives across
from the street in question, heard
the report and decided to investigate,
as the fireworks ordinance prohibits
the sale of fire crackers over four
inches in length.
Upon investigation he found that
the boxes marked "ten-inch ammuni-
ton contained photograph records,
and the guns referred to were talk
ing machines.

During these conferences Osborne
waited in the court room apparently
hopeful that he would not be sent
to prison, but shortly after IL o'clock
it was noticed he became downcast
following whispered conversation
between himself and Mr.. Skinner.
Town officials Derelict.
In pronouncing sentence, Judge
Martin remarked on the length of
time Mr.. Osborne had served as tax
collector of Belleville and COM
mented on the fact that the township
officials had been derelict in not
having regular examinations made OF
his books.
He pointed out that the first exami-
nation had been made at the instance
of Osborne and that when shortage
of $1,000 was disclosed the collector
made it good. The judge also called
attention to the fact that the town
ship books showed that at some times
Osborne had paid the municipality
more money than required, according
to the showing on his books.
He declared that Osborne had been
incompetent as a bookkeeper and
=
from that of the public official who
deliberately stole funds trusted to
him. He also spoke of the fact that
Osborne had made a settlement with
the town in full for the shortage of
1000, and that his character had
always been good
Prisoner Deeply Affected.
Then without comment Judge Mar
tin sentenced him to serve eighteen
months in. the county penitentiary.
Osborne had been standing in the
prisoners dock with his eyes downcast
during the long speech that preceded
the actual sentence. AS he heard
the words eighteen months" he
swayed slightly and started toward
the doorway leading to the prison pen
upstairs.
Former Judge Skinner had no COM
ment to make on the sentence and
after a short whispered conference
with his client, hurried from the court
room.
Osborne was one of the most prom
inent men in Belleville. He was the
leader of the Democratic party in the
town until he was defeated for the
nomination in the fall of 1911. His
father was tax collector for many
years.
Osborne conducts a drug store in
Main street, Belleville. He was a
large real estate holder. Practically
all of the property is now tied up to
satisfy claims of his bondsmen.
Osbornes friends have always
claimed that the shortages in his
office were due to carelessness and
bad bookkeeping. Besides that, they
assert, some of his books were lost
during a food when the Passaic river
overflowed its banks and also during
O. fire in his store.
He was a director in the First Ma
tional Bank of Belleville at the time
the first shortage became known. He
Immediately resigned, selling his
stock in the bank. This he used to
pay the shortage due the town. At
that time it amounted to about $1,000.
Later other shortages were discov-
cred. His total shortage amounted to
about 1000. He made a settlement
with the town several months ago,
when he turned over $4,000 in cash
and bond for $4,000.

GARBAGE
MEN CAN REMAIN
East Orange City Council
Strikes Out Clause in Scav-
enger Contract.

The private scavengers in East Or
ange will not be put out of business.
Councilman George A. Grover was
able to convince his colleagues last
night that the clause in the garbage
contract which would prevent these
men from pursuing their business was
wrong and it was stricken out.
This action, which was accomplished
after hours of elaboration, practi-
cally ends all the trouble that has ex-
cited the city for the past few weeks
over whether the private scavengers
were to be deprived of their business.
The execution of the contract was de-
layed until the sanitary committee
has opportunity to go over some
minor details with Mayor Julian A.
Gregory
The meeting was arranged to find
out whether Mayor Gregory proposed
to put the men out of business Not
possessing definite knowledge of the
terms of the contract, the executive
declined to commit himself, though
he said it was his conviction that 1t
would be in the interests of the city
to have the private scavenger bust
ness eliminated.
When the council learned the
mayor did not intend to give his
opinion he was asked to go into a
secret conference, but he refused. Six
favored the conference and four op-
posed it. Mr.. Grover argued that the
sentiments of the mayor and Off
Gals should be aired in public and
he lead the opposition to going be-
hind closed doors.
Kill Offensive Clause.
The clause that was killed stipu-
lated that 1t would be mandatory
for the public soavenger to collect
garbage and ashes from cellars of
residents who do not desire to place
their refuse 100 feet in the rear of
the property line. An extra cost of
So cents a month would be levied on
the householder desiring the public
scavenger to enter his home.

Mr.. Patton was formerly employed

FATHER AND HIS JOB.

Col. C. E. Boyden, editor of the Lis
bon Free Press, who writes some extra
good poetry nearly every week, pub
lished the following last week that will
be appreciated by every father:
The White Mans Burden-O, you say,
There's no such thing in modern day
But if you are inclined to sob
Just think of Father and his Job.
What is this Job of Father, pray,
But just to work without much play?
He tires sometimes of his Job
While Morpheus tries his sleep to rob.
In business he must manage so
The family will be kept in dough
The children clothed, the household
fed;
It's Fathers Job-so often said.
AS citizen his duties too
Are manifold, his time to WOO.
He leads or follows, beck and nod
While parties thrive-he's on his Job.
In home affairs he's up at dawn
Works the garden, mows the lawn,
Does the chores, or paint he daubS--
These are some of Fathers Jobs.
The world needs mothers, girls and
boys
To fill the home with life and joys,
But when the road you've weary trod
You'll find that Gathers on his job"
