HOBOKEN ELK AND
NEWARK Elk MEET
Philip Niedermaier Falls Into
BrotherIy Hands in Hamburg,
Letter Says.

Philip Niedermaier, of 1926 South
Orange avenue. Nailsburg section,
and his wife, who left on a European
trip, expected to complete their traV-
els and sightseeing before this and
be at home in Newark with their
family and friends.
The latest advices from them. how
ever, would make it appear that they
cannot begin their homeward trip be-
fore October. 1t does not seem, how
ever that they are having distress
ing time of it, as Mr.. Niedermaier,
who is a member of the Newark
Lodge of Elks, had the good fortune
to meet a Hoboken Elk in Hamburg.
The Neidermaiers were given a
hearty welcome, and the Hoboken
Elk. who for ten years past has been
a resident of Hamburg, but whose
name was not mentioned in the letter,
insisted that the Newarkers share his
home while they remained in the Ger
man city
The letter from abroad states that
there was a party OF six or seven Elks
from Newark camping near the out
skirts of Hamburg. and apparently
are unconcerned whether the war
stops or continues.
The letter, which was written by
Mrs. Neidermaier. says that when
the war broke out her husband and
herself endeayored to get to England.
from where they hoped to obtain an
early passage for America, but We're
unable to proceed. There are many
Americans in Germany, the letter
says, and they keep in daily touch
with the American consul, in efforts
to get as early transportation home
as possible.
The Americans are receiving not
only courteous treatment, but kind
treatment. Apprehension of money
giving out and the inability to have
checks and drafts honored seemed to
be the greatest source of worriment.
There is trouble even in getting
American money changed Mr..
Niedermaier himself the letter goes
on to say, experiences no difficulty in
getting his checks cashed at their
face value. He is quoted as being
"lucky."
Z at is really wonderful how the men
here go to war;" the writer states.
They sing and cheer as far as one
can hear them. and one might
imagine they were going to a song
festival"
The Niedermaiers are now thought
to be in Holland. but nothing has
been heard from them in the nature

TRADES UNIONS
TO HOLD PICNIC
ON LABOR DAY
Annual Parade of Organizations
Will Give Way to New Gel
ebration Plan.

Organized labor will celebrate it's
own holiday Monday with a great
free impromptu picnic at Vailsburg
Amusement Park, under the auspices
of the Essex Trades Council.
For the first time since the holiday
was established there will be no down
town parade, the sentiment being
practically unanimous that organized
labor is so firmly established and gen.
orally recognized an institution in Els
sex county that annual turnouts are
no longer necessary to display it's
strength
The changed form of celebration is
expected to make Labor day a real
holiday for trades union members, in
stead of the day on which the hard
est work of the year was done. as was
the case with big parade ON the
card
The Essex Trades Council finds it
impossible to get away from the
parade idea entirely, however, and
thousands will march from headquar-
ters on South Orange avenue, at 2
o'clock, to the picnic grounds with
several bands to tighten the going,
and the picnic committee, with Dam
iel H. Spade, chairman, on ahead.
The bakers and stationary engi-
neers will appear in formal ranks
and distinctive uniforms, but most OF
the marchers will be individual en-
thusiasts in impromptu formation,
for whom the Trades Council will fur
niSh bands.
At the park the same spontaneous
spirit will rule. No admission fee
will be charged and everyone will be
welcomed and entertained by attrac-
tions calculated to suit all tastes.
There will be one band playing
concert music exclusively for those
no wish a quiet afternoon and even
ming, while other bands will keeT
steadily at work for the benefit oil
those who want to dance.
Many other attractions also have
been arranged in an attempt to make
the first celebration of Labor Day
without a formal parade a huge sue

SIMPSON REPLIES
TO JOHNSON QUIZ
Doubts, However, Whether In
quisitor Even Figured in
Primary or Election.

Walter 5. Simpson, Progressive can
didate for sheriff. appears to be the
only aspirant for shrievalty honors
disposed to pay any attention to s.
tons put to all the sheriff candidates
by one r. J. Johnson, said to be "A
book agent with a penchant for quiz

In his reply, however, Mr.. Simpson
gives an impression that he has seri-
Gus doubts assto Johnsons ''particu-
lar Importance" standing, and even
points out that the interrogation does
not appear to have voted at either the
last primary or general election
Still. Mr.. Simpson answers john
sons questions. Here is how he han
dies the proposition in letter over
his own signature:

ceived and at the time | was not

and citizens who urged that my indie
pendence at all times and under all
the trying circumstances in the past
ten years had demonstrated to the
citizens of Essex County that lecould
be trusted at all times to do my duty
without fiinching. No boss or polit-
ical influence could sWerve me from
carrying out the orders of the court.
Your particular question regard
ing the bishops law is one not for
the sheriff to act upon, but the police
and Excise Commission in Newark.

our county, the sheriff's sworn duty is
to execute them, no matter what they
NAV be- The general public think
that it is within the province of the
sheriff to do anything he pleases, but
that is a mistaken idea. His duties
are executive only. The statute pro-
vides certain specific duties and the
courts the rest

part in furthering the plan.

pie We're taking advantage of the OPP
portunity to buy fish for six cents n
pound, which formerly cost more than
twice that much If the fish mar
llet plan met with continued success.

do well to establish markets for the
sale of meat and vegetables.
Mr.. Malone's remarks We're aDproN-
ed by other members of the council

count of stock in the water depart
ment where a peculiar state of affairs
has just come to light.

extent of the leak in revenue.

property.
Then the meter disappeared. and
since that time no charge for water
has been made against the house n
Bedford street. Recently an inves
tigation was made and water pipes
were found running from the cellar of
the house at No. q to the cellar of
the house at No 90.
The latter house was supplied by
water at fixture rates and the seven
families at No. 81 got their supply
for nothing A bill for $405 was sent
to Mrs. Bozza by the water depart
ment yesterday and further action in
this particular case waits upon her.
Meantime Mr.. Holmes is perfecting
plan for a general reinspection of
all water services in the city and eX-
poets to have IA comprehensive sug-
gestion for the Board of Works by
