CLUB DIVIDED BY
MODERN DANCES
Two Factions in Mems Organi-
Acknowledgements Auxiliary
Figures in Row.

The Mems Club, of st. Cloud, West
The tango and other modern dances
are responsible, and the Women's
Auxiliary. the Frolic and Fun Club,
of Orange. has been brought out into
the squabble
As result, the Mems Club is with
out a president. stephen ID. Rid
die who was head of the organization
when the trouble started. was ousted
because of his views against the mod
ern steps. Mr. Riddle Is superlntend-
ent of the Baptist Sunday school. and
prohibitionist. The club has been
unable to elect his successor.
The factions are now lining up for
the final clash, which will occur at a
special meeting to be held soon. Then
the matter will be threshed out until
a final decision is reached.
The trouble arose over the view
taken by some of the members
of the new dance steps. The
members of the Frolic and Fun
Club are ardent supporters of
the modern dances and accordingly
made an attempt to introduce the
tango, the maxixe, the lulu fado,
the fox trot, etc, as features of the
social gatherings of the Mems Club,
the companion organization.
That started the rumpus. Mem
bers took sides on the question. One
of the strongest DIRECTORS to the in
PRODUCTION of the new dances was
Mr.. Riddle.
He objected so strongly that an in
surgent faction unseated him as
president of the club at q special
meeting recently. Prominently identi-
fed with the dethroning of Mr.. Rid
die were Miss Virginia Hufford, who
boards at the Riddle home; Miss Elma
Hedden. daughter of the we'll known
contractor of that name; the Misses
Olstead, daughters of John Olstead,
deacon of the Presbyterian Church
of Orange; Miss Popken, daughter of
an Orange florist; Stanley Olstead,
Guy Barker Frederick Popken, James
tombstone and others.
They looked around for a successor
who would be more of their own
mind, and Samuel II. Martin, New
York real estate operator, was chosen
at first, to succeed Mr.. Riddle, but he
declined the offer by stating. that he
supported MIR. Riddles views. Then
Judge John b. Landers was appealed
TO, but spurned the place when it was
offered to him. Lastly, Frank H..
Jamison, a deacon. in the Presby-
terrain church, also declined the office.
Among those who will take sides
in the meeting are such persons as
Douglas Robinson, brother-in-law Of
former President Theodore Roose-
welt; T. Powers FAIR. q prominent
Wall Street banker; Alfred II. Kim
ball. another well-known banker;
former State Senator Everett
Colby. l.. +. Loree, president of
the Delaware and Hudson rail-
road; Rev. A. r. Ehman, pastor
of the Presbyterian Church; Rev. DR..
w. ID. T. Bliss, rector of the Episco-
pal Church of the Holy Innocents;
Thatcher M. Brown, of Brown Bros.
bankers Eugene Delano. sr.. of the
same firm, and Eugene Delano, jr.

SETTLEMENT Of
ESTATE ORDERED
South Orange Man Directed to
Straighten Accounts in the
Burnet Case.

Judge Martin in the Orphans Court
today directed Andrew S. Taylor, of
South Orange, to settle his account
with the estate of Miss Anna A. Bur-
net on or before October 3d. Miss
Burnett was an elderly woman. She
died i'm Hilton in 1908, leaving an es-
tate valued at 100000, a great part of
which went to charity. Taylor was
administrator.
He was removed last May upon the
complaint of trustees of the First
Christian Church, of Irvington, tha
he had failed to turn over to the
church a bequest made in the WILL
Edwin B. Goodell, of Montclair, was
substituted as administrator, and
Taylor was directed to complete his
accounting before the fall term of
court. He gave Goodell $40,S49 and
deeds to tract of land in South Or
ange as security for whatever balance
might be remaining.
Goodell complained to the court that
at least $4,000 was due, in addition
to the sum turned over by Taylor,
and, further, that the deeds to the
land in South Orange were not suffi-
cient security. for the sum.

GERMANS TREAD
ON BRITISH FLAG
EmbIems Used as Rugs in
Stores, Former Montclair
Woman Says.

Mrs. L. G. Mason, niece Of Fred
erick S. Gage, of Il Plymouth street.
Montclair. who is serving as a Red
Cross nurse, in the English hospital at
Nice, France, in a letter received by
her uncle yesterday said tnat in Ber-
lin the Germans are using English
flags as rugs in the shops, so all can
tread on them. Mrs. Mason was
formerly a resident of Montclair
Mrs. Mason said also that great
many of the soldiers treated by her
have arm and leg wounds mostly, few
being injured in the body. The reason
for this, she said is that the soldiers
lie down to fire, and thus protect their
trunks at the expense of their arms
and legs.
The letter was written on Septem-
Der IS. She told of the arrival of sixty
two wounded French soldiers.
Some of them had fought for six
days, been wounded and shipped off
In trains, travelled from the north Of
France to Nice without a wash or a
change of linen. 1t was simply awful
and yet not a word of complaint and
when DR. Egerton could not help
hurting them they never tiinched, but
said 'Merci monsieur when he had
finished.
"They are only just of the ordinary
class; few a bit superior But all
are good fellows. They are charmed
with the English nurses and say the
hospital and gardens are 'nne Para

on the veranda. | have begged
around for cigarettes for them, and
they are going to have shave this
afternoon.
This sort of thing makes one see
the loathsomeness of war. Poor fell

sent to be shot down. It's awful!
One poor chap, | think, will lose his

not many body wounds. You see

the trunk is protected. | shall be

afternoon. One of them has photo
graph of his little baby girl under
his pillow. He wore it all through
the fight. We see many touching
sights What strikes me is their
wonderful patience, 1t Is marvellous.
shall never complain at anything.
THE Germans are now catching it
hot and heavy on all sides. and it
seems they know now in Berlin that
they have had reVerses. All mas Deen

last defeat of the Marine has leaked
out and they arc in a great fury. |

all he gets and more, too. He will
never get enough. His arrogance
and deliberate bullyism have come to
an end at last.

as much as possible. The English

all so young, too!
