SAYS MRS. BEY'S
NAME IS ALLISON
Beneficiary Under Viii Was
Peter Bey's Daughter-in-
Law Prior TO Decree.

That Mrs. Sarah NJ Bey, named as
sole beneficiary under the will of
Peter Bey, is really Sarah NJ. Allison.
is declared in an affidavit filed with
the surrogate by John NJ Bey. a
sor OF the deceased. The affidavit as
sorts that the Court Of Chaneery by
a decree issued in May declared null
and void the marriage of Sarah NJ
Allison to John Bey, and restored her
to her maiden name.
Peter Bey and his son John married
sisters. Peter Beys wife died some
years ago. In his will executed July
1. 1913, the elder Bey made his sister
in-law. who was also his daughter-in-
law, the sole beneficiary. The will
was probated on Thursday In the sur
rogate's Office.
The purpose of the affidavit by the
son. John Bey, is to keep the records
clear and to explain clearly who Mrs.
Sarah NJ. Bey, named IN the will,
really is. This is necessary. the de-
ponent states. because the testator
left some real estate at $50 South Fiji
tenth street.
He recites that one Grace Hamil,
claiming to be his common-law wife,
started chancery proceedings against
him for separate maintenance after
his marriage to Miss Allison. on
March TO- 1913. The proceedings re-
suited In a decree, filed May IS. by
the chancellor. declaring that Grace
Hamil was his lawful wife and the
second marriage null and void. AS
this decree was filed after the de-
poRent's father had made his will, no
change was made in the name. Peter
Bey was a well-known sportsman
and saloonkeeper.

CHILDREN APPEAR
IN C|RCUSSTUNTS
Prince Street Playground Is
Scene of Show That Rivals
Three-Ring Affair.

The circus at the Prince street
playground took place today. 1t was
preceded by q monster parade, in
Which all the children of the play
ground took part. The parade left
the playground at / o'clock, and pro-
ceeded to Springfield avenue, to Bel
mont avenue, to Waverly avenue and
returned to the Prince street play
ground. Crowds of persons crowded
along the line of march.
The circus was conducted under the
direction of Charles e. Greason, d.
rector of the playground. In con-
junction with the circus a band con-
cert was given by suenderhaft's
band.
The people of the neighborhood re-
sponded in large numbers in answer
to the invitation extended by the
Playground Commission. Dressed as
monkeys, horses and elephants the
children went through the same
stunts that such animals do at a reg
ular tent show. They performed In
several acrobatic acts, too, and
pleased the spectators immensely.
The performance was brought to a
close with>a series Of races, in which
both boys and girls participated.
1t was the first affair OF its kind to
be held in Newark, and 1t was a de-
cided success. 1t Is probable that
other such affairs viii be the result
in the various Fairgrounds through
out the city.

Court Orders Water Company
to Permit Inspection of Books
by BOontOn Town Officials

Vice Chancellor Vivian NJ. Lewis,
sitting in Paterson. has signed a de-
cree directing the United Water Sup
ply Company. Of Boonton, to permit
the authorities of the town to make
an inspection of the oompany's books
preliminary to the exercise of an OPP
tion held by the town for the pur-
chase of the concerns plant.
The option held by the town exists
under a contract made In 1888 The
question of the purchase of the plant
is to be submitted to the voters, but
before this is done the authorities be-
neve that they should know just
what price the town will be COM
PEELED to pay.
Under the contract the purchase
price of the water plant Is to be
twelve and one-haR times the amount
of the profits earned by the company
during the year prior to the purchase.
The agreement gave the town the
right to purchase either in the year
1905 or 1915. 1t is now believed that
1t would be good economy for the
community to buy the plant.
The town officials requested per-
mission to examine the books but the
company's directors refused. The ap-
piication just granted was then made
to the Court of Chancery. It was con-
tended by the company that the town
had not chosen the proper remedy,
but should proceed for a mandamus.
This contention was overruled by the
vice-chancellor. In his memorandum
the vice-chancellor says:
No hardship is suffered by the
water company by an order for in
spection, as such order can be SO
framed az to prevent the inquisitive
or disinterested persons or any COM
petitor, II there he one, from obtain
ing knowledge of the company's af-
fairs"

CLIFFORD HAS A
SET OF REVISED
SPEECH LEGATIONS
Alderman Who Criticised Aims
house Furnishings Wakes Up.
Jar for Other Critic.

Alderman e. Garfield Clifford today
supplied himself with a set Of revised
specifications for the furnishings for
the new almshouse. The specifications
are the ones which the poor and aims
committee of the Common Council ap-
proved several weeks ago in Mr.. Gift
ford's presence. Bids for the furnish
ings were opened Thursday last. Mr..
clifford heretofore has had in his pos
session a. set of the specifications be-
fore they were amended by the COM
mittee. On the old set he based his
special criticisms of the furnishings
for the rooms of the almshouse super
jntendent, Patrick White. 1t is ex-
pected that the Eighth ward alderman
will now be able TO make a better
comparison of the furnishings.
One of the would-be critics engaged
to knock" the members of the
poor and aims COMMITTEES upon
their selection of furniture at
setback yesterday afternoon. The
critic saw the furniture in question
and not on paper. About an hour was
needed to see that the furniture COM
pared to the letter with the specifica-
tions.
All of the high terms and fancy
names were explained to the would
be critic. He was somewhat peeved
after he asked just what Louis the
Sixteenth furniture meant. B. b.
Hagadorn, of the firm of Reischman
Company, of New York city, replied:
'1t is easy to see that you don't
know much about furniture. Every
catalogue uses high terms and must
have a pattern One of the bed room
sets selected by the committee hap
pened to be of the Louis Sixteenth
type. That does not even imply cost,
workmanship or material. 1t is only
a trade term to distinguish the vari-
GUS types"
1t was also explained by Mr.. Haga-
dorm that there are heavy discounts
IN the furniture trade and that the
Newark bid was based on such condi-
tons
The critic and other members of
the party who made the trip to New
York, examined every article. The
specifications and the goods are
Identical After the would-be critic
got through his examination he was
invited to bring an expert to the place
who knows furniture prices and
terms.
The Reischman firm Is a whole
jale house. They manufacture their
own wares and have one of the larg-
est furnitupe display store rooms in
New York. So large is the place that
many of the smaller stores bring GUS
toners to the place to make their
selections. The place Is situated at
ID. 1s and IS East Thirty-second
street.

Creates Little Trouble
Over Public Service Lines

The Public Service Railway COM
pany put into effect it's new transfer

resulted from the change, according TO
John L. O'Toole, publicity manager
for the Public Service Corporation.
Where disputes arose regarding the
operation or the system the conductor
accepted the transfers and explained
to the passenger his mistake.
Mr. O'Toole said the greater part of
August would be allowed by the COM
pany to educate the people in the use
of the new transfer system. He de-
clared the chief difficulty would be In
dealing with people who had hereto
fore been in the habit of looping" on
the transfers. BY the new method
looping" Is practically impossible.
Mr.. O'Toole declared.
The so-called looping" consists In
passenger getting a round trip for
a five-cent fare.
