Eloquence of Mendicant
Fails to Save Him from
Three Months Stay in Jail

"Why, | have graced the preten-
tious lawns of the Vanderbilt estate.
and have ambled through the
'scrumptious' Railways of homes Of
some of the -Four Hundred in New
York, and to be arrested in this town
for 'panhandling' My word, but it's
stunningl" So spoke Thomas Ryan
when he was marched up to the desk
in the Harrison police court today.
He was discovered by Patrolman
John Ryan soliciting aims from
householders on Cleveland avenue.
The prisoner, who said he came from
New York. was adverse to accom-
panying the bluecoat. The latter
made it plain he meant business. and
the man decided to go to the police
station.
For fully ten minutes the prisoner
held the fort after his arrival at
headquarters. Finally, firing of the
linguistic demonstration, Desk Ser
geant James Duffy remarked that
Ryan would likely talk himself into
jail The prisoner opened up anotheS
TRADE when brought before Police
Justice John J. Murphy. His rhetori-
cal knowledge helped him little. Ryan,
of New York, will spend the next
three months in the Hudson county
jail at Jersey City.
He is the fourth mendicant to be
arrested in Harrison in a few days.

Thin People
Can Increase Weight

Thin men and women who would
like to increase their weight with 10
or Is pounds of healthy "stay there"
fat should try eating a little Sargol
with their meals for a while and note
results. Here is a good test worth
trying. First weigh yourself and
measure yourself. Then take Sargol
--one tablet with every meal-for two
weeks. Then weigh and measure
again. 1t isn't question of how YOU
look or feel or what your friends say
and think. The scales and the tame
measure will tell their own story. and
most any thin man or woman can
easily add from five to eight pounds
in the first fourteen days by following
this simple direction And best Of
all, the new flesh stays put.
Sargol does not of itself make fat.
but mixing with your food, it turns
the fats, sugars and starches of what
you have eaten, into rich, ripe fat
producing nourishment for the tissues
and blood-prepares it in an easily
assimilated form which the blood can
readily accept. All this nourishment
now passes from your body as waste.
But Sargol stops the waste and does
it quickly and makes that fat pro-
ducing contents of the very same
meals you are eating now develop
pounds and pounds of healthy flesh
between your skin and bones. SareoI
is safe, pleasant, efficient and mex

Glen Ridge Refuses to Pay
Bill of County Inspector

The Glen Ridge Borough Council
last night refused to pay bill of $42
presented by county inspector for
experimenting the laying of a sewer
on Ridgewood avenue, which Is a
county road. The bill was for four
teen days work. The borough agreed
to pay for one day. The other thir-
teen. the officials claim, there was no
work done, the county holding it up
until the borough secured a permit.
A number of people who We're as
sessed for the widening of Parkway
appeared before the council and OBJ
jected to the work being done c. /.
Shirley, owner of the property from
which a strip Is to be taken, objected
in person. He also objected to an
award of 81, 500 damages to his prop
'erty, made by the Board of Assess
ment, claiming that work he did on
the property and its original cost
stood him almost $4,000 Charles @.
Courtney appeared as counsel for Mr..
Shirley. The matter was put off for
further consideration.
Miss Cornelia Ballenbach wanted to
know when the council intended to
lay a sewer in Willow street, as the
people of that section needed it bad
ly. She was instructed to prepare a
petition and send it to the council be-
fore the next meeting. A petition was
received Directing to an alleged nui-
sance caused by the Nevins Church
Printing Company running their plant
at night. The petition was referred
to the law and ordinance committee.

TRYING TO PRUNE
ORANGE s BUDGET
City Commissioners Used Fig
ures of Common Council as
a Guide.

PAIRING down items for the various
departments the Orange Commission
last night took another whack at
the tax budget that is now rapidly
getting into shape for official action.
The tentative sums named by the old
council were used as a guide by the
new officials.
1t was decided to give Engineer
Henry Berg an increase of $3.50 over
his salary of $4,000 to provide for the
extra work he had in the water de-
partment. Increases in expenditures
put the item for the municipal plant
up to 20,S79.63, an advance of about
$500 over last years figures. Line
repairs were lacked UP $500 over the
1918 amount, which was $3.50, and a
new item of $3.50 for equipment was
added.
The water department account was
fixed at $40, 3S4.01, a reduction from
last year, which totaled ST., 4S463. The
officials raised the item for meters
from $4,000 to $1,000 to allow for the
new plan of replacing wornout meters
with new ones, as it is expected the
water revenues will be increased in
consequence of the change. The item
for advertising, printing and station
cry was left open, as it is likely new
card index system will be needed.
The sewer department was given
$7,551.66, a decrease of $744.S4 from the
1918 budget, which allowed $S,296.50
The item of supplies was cut from
$500 in the preliminary figures ar
ranged by the council to 800, and re-
pairs were cut in half, making the
item 800. instead of 5000. The pipe

$3.50 and miscellaneous from $500 to

Relative to the certificate signed by

MAY USE SCHOOLS
AS VOTING PLACES
East Orange Board Follows Ex-
ample of Irvington
Officials.

Following the example set by r.
vington, the East Orange Board OF
Education yesterday decided to allow
the school buildings to be used as
polling places at primaries and cleo
tions. The only stipulation made was
that smoking must be prohibited. City
Clerk Lincoln e. Rowley will be IN
formed of the boards action. Any
expense incident to fitting up the
rooms for voting purposes must be
borne by the city.
The idea of allowing the schools t.
be used as polling places was
preached at yesterdays meeting by
Commissioner George S. Hubert, who
said the action would be a steI
toward elevating the dignity of voting
places Then. too. Mr.. Hubert said
other municipalities might profit BY
the example.
City Clerk Rowley inaugurated the
movement for more dignified polling
places a year ago, and through his
efforts the congregation of Hyde
Park church consented to permit the
edifice to be used for the casting OF
votes. The experiment was pro-
authorities had not taken kindly to
the idea of having the polling in the
schools 1t was intended to request
congregations of other churches to
agree to turn over the edifices for the
same purpose at the November cleo
ton.
A statistical report on the activities
of the summer schools which were
established In the city for the first
time this season was gratifying to
the commissioners. The registration,
totaling 297, was far in excess of an
ticipations.
City Clerk Rowley, director of the
summer sessions. made the regular
report through superintendent Broom.
Of~the pupils attending the schools
las are taking regular courses and
81 mechanical training and cooking.
Mr.. Rowley estimated that 791 pupils
have been frequenEing the school
Fairgrounds SO far. The board au-
thorized the purchase of sprinklers
for the basement of the High School,
for which an appropriation of 81 900
was granted by the Board of School
Estimate year ago.
Approving suggestion that the
State Federation of School Boards
recommend to the Legislature that
the tenure of service act be amended
to provide for the termination of
teachers services In March of each
year If all but one member of Boards
of Education favor it, the board in
structed Commissioner Hubert to
take UP the question with the feder-
alton. He is a member Of the State
body.

MAY BUILD OWN
DISPOSAL PLANT
MontcIair Tired Of Waiting for
Orange and East Orange
to Act.

Orange and East Orange, showing
no disposition for action IN the plan
to erect a sewage disposal plant in
Belleville, Montclair may decide to
build one within its own borders.
Councilman p. Maxwell Foshay made
the suggestion at the meeting of the
Montclair Town Council last night.
He told his colleagues that from the
attitude of Orange and East Orange
these seemed to be no inclination to
hurry matters along.
He commended that 1t was necessary
for Montclair to provide some system
other than the present system OF
dumping its sewerage into the Passaic
River before 1916, and recommended
that Town Engineer Edwin s. Olosson
be instructed to prepare plans for the
erection Of an Imhoff sewerage plant
within the town limits of Montclair
No action was taken by the council,
He further stated II the town did
not make some decided move toward
the erection of a plant that Montclair
might be liable for heavy damages II
it was not prepared to dispose OF Its
sewage by 1916, the time limit set by
the Legislature.
Councilman William II. Schoon-
maker suggested 1t would be well for
the town to erect the plant outside OF
the town limits. 1t was announced
that the law provided that the plant
be erected within the town limits
Mayor Ernest E. Hinck laughingly
suggested that the council had better
postpone any action until after cleo
ton. There was no further discus
sion after the Mayors remarks.

House of Lords Passes
Third Reading of Bill
to Amend Home Rule

LONDON. July 1.-the House of
Lords today passed the third reading
OF the bill to amend the Irish home
rule bill and sent it across to the
House of Commons for consideration.
In its closing stage in the upper
house the Marquis of Crewe, the LIB
eral leader. took part in the debate
on the bill and indirectly promised
that the attainment of an agreement
in regard to the elimination of the
time limit by which the counties OF
Ulster were allowed to vote on the
question of their exclusion for q
period of six years from the operation
of the home rule bill would not prove
difficult He said, however, that the
area of the portion of Ireland to be
excluded had been so greatly enlarged
by the unionists that 1t would be
vexed and critical question. Inc
Unionists, he argued. had failed to ex-
plain how they proposed to meet the
inevitable objections to exclusion OF
the Roman Catholic counties OF
Ulster and their friends elsewhere IN
Ireland.
The Marquis concluded by asking
for the exercise Of patience and for
bearance and firmly hoping for a sue
cessful solution.

TEACHERS MUST
ARRIVE ON TIME
New Rules for Punctuality to
Be Enforced in West
Orange.

School teachers in West Orange will
be required to be more punctual in
their arrival at schools in the future.
The Board Of Education at a meet
ing last night, received a report from
superintendent Alton H. Sherman, in
which it was stated that teachers
have occasionally been tardy in their
arrival, giving such excuses as
trolleys having been late. AS a result
when the schools open in September,
the teachers will be required to sign
their names and arriving and depart
ing hours in record books.
Principal Thomas M. Todd, of the
Paramount School, reported that he
had adopted such a system with sue
cess.
Pupils from over the mountain dis
tricts who attend the West Orange
High School will enjoy automobile
rides to and from sessions in the fu-
ture as the Board of Education de-
cided to pay a little more money and
discard the venerable stages which
have done service in the past.
The Canniff Garage, of Verona, bid
SIG a day for the service, and while
the stage drivers who have been

past offered to do the work for ap-
proximately $3.50 per year for each of
the three school districts, or a total
of s2,625 per season of ten months, T.
H. Powers Farr, president of the
board, after a secret session to ex-
anime the bids, announced the de-
cision to change from the stages to
the autos. The State will pay part of
the cost for motor service, he said so
the difference between the stages and
the autos is but $130 per year to the
| town.
THE health and welfare of the chill
dren is worth more than that" said
the official. while we regret to sever
the pleasant relations with the stage
drivers. who gave good service, we
| found that in the hour and a half
rides to and from school in the stages
the children often got unruly, smashed
windows and annoyed one another in
very disagreeable fashion" The

1t was announced the Gregory Ave-
nue. and High schools will be ready
for use in September, and the high

ASK $4,000 FOR
|. LIBRARY ADDITION
East Orange Said to Be Assured
of Help from Carnegie
Foundation.

The East Orange city council at the
request of the board of trustees Of
the East Orange Free Public Lii
brary last night asked Mayor Juliar
A. Gregory to request the Carnegie
Library Foundation for $4,000 for ar
addition to the city's main library
building. If the money is granted
the city will have to allow $4,000 adj
ditional each year for the mainte-
nance of the building. 1t is under
stood that the library trustees have
been promised the money
The building was constructed by a
$4,000 gift from the same source some
years ago. 1t now costs the city ST.
CPS to maintain the institution.
Councilman Robert A. Dixon, chair
man of the finance committee, said
the Improvement will cost the city
practically nothing, as the municipal
ity is compelled by law to set aside
not less than $4,000 a year for IL
braries The Improvement will not
require additional ground as the adj
dition will be erected on the rear of
the building where there is ample
property owned by the city. The ad-
dition will provide a reading room
and more space for books.
Instead of an addition, Councilman
Warren j. Stoddard member of the
finance committee. favored appropri-
ating the gift for a new library in
the Fifth ward. Mr.. Dixon said he
believed there were sufficient branch
libraries. His suggestion was APP
proved unanimously
Arguing that the improvements
would be of no benefit to the city
until the thoroughfares were built UP,
Councilman George A. Grover had
seven of his colleagues defeat an at
tempt of Councilmen Barradale and
Marsh to have the council authorize
the opening of two new streets in
the Elmwood section. Mr.. Grover,
who is chairman of the road commit
tee, explained how the city would be
compelled to spend more for sewer,
water and gas systems than the rev.
enuea that would be received before
the streets had sufficient houses to
warrant the installation of the sys-
TENS. The thoroughfares Messrs.
Marsh and Barradale wanted opened
were Oak street and fremont avenue.
Previously the council sanctioned the
opening of Grant avenue and Heckel
street.
Mr.. Marsh intended to introduce
ordinances for the opening of addi-
tional streets in the section, but he
did not do so when he learned of the
defeat of the proposition to cut out
Oak street and fremont avenue.
Nine bids were received for an auto
truck for the sewer departments. the
estimates varying from $3.50 to $4,000.
The bids will be tabulated and the
contract given probably by the next
meeting.
