RECEIPT WINS
FOR K|TCHELL
Paper Signed by Raymond E.
Smith Decides RosevilIe
Trust Case.

A receipt bearing the name of Ray
mond e. Smith, the convicted former
Roseville Trust Company official put
an end TO an action instituted in the
District Court of East Orange yester-
day. The action was Instituted
against William E. Kitchell, of 2ss
Halstead street. East Orange, by the
Mutual Bank, of Rosevi1le, to recover
$500 borrowed from the Roseville Trust
Company.
Mr.. Kitchell got the money on a
note. He returned the money to
Smith, but the latter never gave him
credit for 1t on the books of the de-
funct institution.
The suit against Mr.. Kitcheli was
one of about one hundred similar
cases which were started by the Mu-
tual Bank to recover borrowed money
from the Roseville Trust Company
which was never repaid.
Mr.. Kitchelfs note originally showed
he had obtained $3.50 from the Rose
vile Trust Company, but he swore he
had paid back the $25 previous to the
time he got the receipt for the larger
sum from Smith.
Judge Worral F. Mountain said he
was satisfied that Mr.. KitcheIl had
paid off all the money he got on the
note, and awarded the verdict In his
favor.
Mr. Kitchell was considerably sur
prised when he was informed that he
had not received credit for the repaid
money.

FIRE BALLOONS
FACTORY MENACE,
DECLARES GASSER
Bureau of combustibIes Has No
Method of Combating DAN
ger, Says Head.

A number Of local manufacturers
have complained Of the number of
FIRE balloons which have lowered
over their factories at night during
the past week. They declare that the
balloons IN falling could easily set
fire to their factories The Bureau of
Combustibles and Fire Risks has been
appealed 10 in one instance. Captain
G. Albert Gasser. in charge of that
department, declares that the city Is
tied hand and foot in this matter and
that the only remedy will be legisls-
ton. Captain Gasser. it is said will
draft a bill 10 cover this nuisance.
He will present It to the Legislature
at their next session.
In several of the larger factories
the managers have decided that the
danger Is so great that they have en-
ployed extra watchmen to guard their
plants at night.
The matter was put up to Captain
G Albert Gasser, of the Bureau of
Combustibles and Fire Risks, this
noon, and he was asked whether he
had taken any steps to abate this
hazard.
AE Complaints dAE iuAAE lu9Nl-
fed" declared Captain Gasser. The
danger of these fire balloons is much
greater than persons imagine. In
Cincinnati last Saturday a balloon
drifted upon the roof of a factory
building and the resultant fire caused
a loss of 800 900. This is this years
largest fire from this cause in the
country, but there have been several
hundred small fires from the same
cause.
Right here in our own locality we
have had several narrow escapes. A
few days before the Fourth I re-
ceived a letter from Peter Campbell,
president of the Marin Linoleum Com
psny. of Kearny, in which the writer
declared that a fire balloon from
Newark" landed on the roof of one
of the buildings of this plant and
that a serious fire was averted only
because of the a1ertness of their
Waterman. ] replied to Mr.. Camp
bell. saying that Newark had recog-
nized this danger four years ago. and
that in 1910 an order had been issued
by this bureau prohibiting the sale
and use of these paper balloons. Be
fore that time Newark had several
serious fires, but since then there has
not been any. This is due more to
1nck than anything else because the
smaller municipalities in this neigh
borhood still permit the sale and use
of these f1rebugs Mr.. Campbell was
informed that the balloon he referred
to came from an amusement park In
one of the city's suburbs. over which
the Bureau of Combustibles has no
Jurisdiction.
Mr.. Campbell Immediately replied
asking for suggestion as to how the
evil might be overcome. I wrote to
Mr.. Campbell and declared that a
State law is needed to curb the
smaller municipalities who are EVIL
IDENTIFY unable to protect themselves.
The sale and use of these balloons Is
hazard which is not localized and
needs Statewide restraint II Newark
Is to be protected The matter is be-
ing taken up by technical journals
throughout the country and State
action is being urged in every case"

Justice Kalisch Upholds
Release of Parker from
Jail on Habeas Corpus

Supreme Court Justice Kalisch to-
day confirmed a writ of habeas COR
pus releasing Frederick w. Parker,
of 1S1 Lincoln avenue, this city, from
custody. The writ was granted last
April by Vice Chancellor Griffen,
when Parker was ordered sent to the
Essex county jail in execution of a

The Judgment was recovered

& Co., of New York, of which Parker
was a member Suit was brought

which fraud was alleged to have been
committed in stock exchange trans
action. 1t was commended that Par
ker was in Europe during the time
the fraud was committed. but he was
prosecuted upon his return to this
country. The judgment secured
against Tracy & Co. was for $26,061.
1t remains for Justice Kalisch to
decide whether or not the plaintiffs
are entitled to remedy in New Jersey
for the action brought in New York.
In the meantime Justice Kalisch has
fixed Parker's bond at $500, to insure
the State against him leaving New
Jersey. Parker is being defended by
Ralph e. Lum. of this city, in whose

leased
