Public Christmas Tree
Assured for Chatham
srerial to the evening Star


MADISON, Dee 19.-Plans OF loyal
Chathamites have matured SO rapid
ly in the past week that a public
Christmas tree for all to enjoy is
now practically assured. All those
interested are pushing the matter
with a vim that is sure to make the
plans successful. Rufus Keisler. jr.,
is receiving subscriptions fer the ex-
penses connected with the public
ire which will be borne entirely by
popular contribution. Should more
A. ,e.elVed lnan necessary II viii be
turned over to the Interdenomina-
tional Church Committee for Christ
mas work.
The park mas been selected as the
most advantageous spot for the tree,
and large evergreen has been Sc
lected, and will be taken from one of
the local forests at the proper time.
When erected the tree will be in
pam view Of all commuters on
trains standing in the station. The
tree will be trimmed with colored
electric lights, and it is expected to
have snotlight turned on the flag,
which will be held flying during the
h,.lday season.
A tentative program has been ar
ranged by the committee. The exer-
cises will be opened by one of the
local pastors at Gas on Christmas
eve. This will be followed by the
singing of Christmas carols by the
children of the public schools, under
the direction of superintendent c. II.
Philhower. The church choirs, and
possibly the audience, will participate
in the singing. A plan is to secure
some instrumental music, but it is
not as yet known whether or not
this will be possible.

CONVENT STATION. Dec. Ia
Especial Harry Hinchmau whose
appointment as the new postmaster OF
Convent was forwarded by President
Wilson yesterday. is a young Demo-
crat of high standing. not only at
Convent, but in many of the sur
rounding towns. He is thirty-tWo
years old, and in the short time he
has been working he has held posi-
tions with the Lackawanna railroad
in Madison. Morris Plains, Mount Ia
Dor and Convent, where he has been
for the past six years. He succeeds
William A. Scot1, the Republican ap-
pointee.
Mr. Hinehman was born IN Lincoln
Park, Morris county, on March Is.
1888. His mother, before her marriage
to Harry Hlnchman, of Lincoln PARK,
was a Madison girl, Miss Julia Lear
and she was we'll known by many res
idents of Madison.
When Harry was four years old his
parents moved to Morris Plains, where
his father was station-master for the
D., L. and w. railroad. The elder
Hinchman took a very active part IN
the Democratic politics of Hanover
township, in which Morris Plains is
situated.
Mr. Hinchman. jr.. received a good
public school education and during
his young days he soon became fami
liar with the workings of a station
master. Consequently he took to that
work and was for two and a half
years employed by the Lackawann3
at the station in Madison, and is well
known here. He was afterward trans
ferred in turn to Mount Tabor, Morris
Plains, and Convent, where he has
been for the past six years. He IS
married
Mr.. Hinchman was opposed for the
position by James w. Russell. who re-
sides in the Convent end of Morris
township, and is employed as book
keeper for Pruden & Burke, coal
dealers of MOristown. Eugene Burke,
a member of the firm, is postmaster OF
Morristown. having been the dark
horse to gather in the plum at the
last minute. and has been active for
several years In Morris county poll
tics.
Russell had strong backing. but the
Endorsement Of General Edward P.
Meany, of Convent, It Is believed,
landed the appointment for the sue
cessful candidate. Mr.. Meany is not
only chairman of the Democratic
County Committee, but he is the COM
mitteeman from Morris township,
where the Convent postofilce is locat-
ed. The influence of some Madison
friends Is also believed to have helped
Mr.. Hinchman.
The postmastership of Convent pays
$1,000 a year, and has been held in re-
cent years under the Republican ad-
ministration by William A Scott
Previous to Mr.. Soott's incumbency,
Charles Murphy, Of Convent, held the
office for many years.
