PHONE OPERATORS
DO GOOD WORK At
WEST ORANGE FIRE

Standing out asape Of the main
features of the big West Orange fire
last night was the excellent work of
a trio of telephone girls employed at
the Edison factory. These girls
Misses Annie Hanley. Matte Rooney
and Bertha Messeng enger-remained at
their posts until late in the night.
They proved themselves heroines.
When the fire was first discovered
the operators worked like trojans.
They communicated with the heads
of the different departments and
summoned fire department aid from
the Oranges Unmindful of the prob
able impending danger the girls
handled the telephone traffic in an
admirable manner, They remained
cool-headed at all time.
Joseph Leimer, of Bell street. Or
ange, was on his way home when he
saw the blaze Leimer. who is en-
ployed by local telephone COM
pany, went to the Edison plant, and,
with the aid of several others, moved
the telephone switchboard to another
building when it was seen that the
structure in which they were located
was threatened.
Leimer temporarily connected one
of the boards in the office building
and the young women went back 70
their posts. They remained on duty
until $50, when it was decided there
would be no further needle for tele-
phone service. Leimer remained at
the boards with the operators after
the temporary connection had been
made.

PROCURES ASSETS
BANKRUPT SAYS
BELONG TO HIM
Trustee for Morristown Man
Gets 5000 Auto Accessories
and Tires.

Acting on alleged information ad-
vanced by Frederick w. Knipscher.
a bankrupt automobile accessory
dealer of Morristown. Louis A. Fast,
trustee for the srupt went to
Morristown yesterday and took pos
session of a quantity of assets that
had not been mentioned in the bank
rupts schedules. The bankrupt, on
advice of his counsel yesterday told
David Bobker, attorney for Mr. Fast.
of the unseheduled assets, after the
attorney had submitted the bankrupt
10 a cross-eXamination in the Bank
ruptey Court, in the Byrne building.
About $500 worth of automobile ac-
cessories and tires were found in a
house at Mountain Lakes, said to be
owned by Arthur T. Holton. These
were found in a trunk. The acces-
sories were not mentioned in the
schedules Attorney Matthews said
today, because they had been given
to the bankrupt's wife to secure her
on a note on which her husband had
borrowed money from her. The bank
rupt ned the batch over to the
trustee.
A large quantity of furniture which
the bankrupt said he had given to his
wife was also tagen by the trustees.
The furniture was found in a house
at 40 Franklin street, Morristown.
Mr. Matthews explained that the fur
niture was not enumerated, in the
schedules because the bankrupt had
given it to his wife shortly before the
petition in bankruptcy was filed.
The trustee says he also found some
silverware in the vaults of the Nor
ristown Trust Company. This is the
property of the bankrupI's wife, Mr..
Matthews declared. The lawyer said
il was given to her at her marriage or
before, Mr.. Fast did not claim title
to the silverware yesterday.
Mr.. Holton, Mrs. knipscher and the
bankrupt will be examined further on
December % by Mr.. Booker TO de-
termine whether or not there are any
more assets that have not been
scheduled.
Mr.. Booker said he was inclined
to call the bankrupt's neglect TO
schedule all his assets to the atten-
tion of the Federal grand jury. Mr..
Fast, however, declares that since
the bankrupt has showed a willing
ness to help the trustee find the
assets not mentioned his former ac-
ton should be overlooked

Of MAN
IN BROOME ST.
IS SAMYSTERY

Mystery surrounds the case of an
unidentified man who was found dead
at 2:40 o'clock this morning in front
of 200 Broome street. The body was
discovered by Patrolman Koiberg, OF
the Fourth precinct.
County Physician William H. Nc
Kenzie said that the mans death
was due to a hemorrhage of the brain.
caused by a blow.
The mans body was found by Kol-
berg lying on the sidewalk with the
tale of his coat folded up to act as a
pillow. In his left arm the man slung
TO a warm loaf of bread, which bore
the stamp of Frank Weinberg, of 179
Broome street. Weinberg today asked
his night watchman if anybody had
bought bread during the night. The
baker said that no one had.
Weinberg's wagon left shortly be-
fore the body was found, on it's first
morning trip, and the bread may have
been taken from the wagon by the
stranger, said the baker.

Advices received here indicate that
the British squadron is accompanied
in its search for the German COM
merce destroyers by an air scout.
Several vessels which have cruised
in the South Atlantic, including the
Colon, a vessel owned by the United

tween New York and Panama, tell Of

above them and examined them
closely as they passed. The air craft,
the crews of these vessels assert, was

she is attached to any land station.

COUNTY, PLAYING
AT SANTA CLAUS,
GIVES LAND AWAY
FreehoIders Settle Old Bloom
field Ave. Trouble by Gifts
of Real Estate.

To untangle complications that
have resulted from the Strengthening
of Bloomfield avenue, from the Mont
clair line to the boundary line of
Morris county, the road committee of
the Board of F'reeholders yesterday
voted to give away almost a score
of strips of land along the road. The
county will get nothing for the land.
BY its action the committee plays
Santa Claus to number of property
owners along the road in Verona,
Caldwell and other places.
More than thirty years ago the old
County Road Board defined the lines
of Bloomfield avenue which had
been purchased from the company
that built the road. The road ran in
anything but a straight line, and few
properties along II were on the same
line. AS a result of the making of
the new straight lines certain por-
tions of the old road, strips about
six feet wide by ten to twenty feet
long were left outside the avenue. In
time property owners came to con-
slider these strips as belonging to
their lands and they built on them.
Suits followed by former owners
for compensation for this land, and
then there were ejectments and ap-
tanglements. Individual cases were
settled by the county in Bloomfield
and Glen Ridge years ago by vacatins
the land and letting any disputants
over the title settle ii in the courts
This is the same procedure as was
followed by the road committee yes
terday.
One of the freeholders' reasons for
vacating the land without compensa-
ton was the fact that the owners
abutting on the disputed strip paid
assessments for the strengthening,
widening and improving of the road
although in reality their land had no
frontage on it, BY giving these strips
the freeholders apparently believe
they are making an equitable settle
ment.
The value OF all the land involved
is not known.

Errors Court Holds Franchise

TRENTON, Dec 10.-The Court Of
Errors and Appeals yesterday hand
ed down one Of is est import Mt
decisions in years when If rev ersed
the Judgment of the Supreme Court,
VIII ch had upheld the Board of Pub
lie Utility Commissioners in fixing
the ninety-cent gas rate for the Pas

The opinion of the Errors Court was
written by Justice Parker and is a
quite lengthy one. Although ii re

main point at issue. it upholds the
lower tribunal in the matter of the
appeals of the city of Passaic anc

Justice swayze dismissed. Both o.
the cities applied Tor writs of eerti-
orari, which We're denied on the
ground that certioIsAri was not the
proper method for them to take. The
Supreme Court dismissed the writs
on the ground that it could only con-
slider applications for mandamus pro-
ceedings. The Errors Court upholds
this Judgment.
Commission's Authority Not Questioned.
In rendering its decision upon the
appeal of the Public Service Gas
Company from the order of the util-

rate. the court says that no ques-

FROM
EDISON FIRE SEEN
FOR MANY MILES
Commuters on Lackawanna
Kept in Anxiety Until Trains
Reach Orange.

Commuters returning to their
homes in the Oranges last night while
the IRE at the Edison plant was
raging experienced a series of anxious
moments. All the way from Hoboken
the Illuminated sky was visible, and
to those who resided in that direction
came that awful feeling that danger
lurked in their abiding places. Tne
strong color of the reflection in the
heavens eliminated all doubt but that
the fire was of the dam
age" sort.
The illumination was deceiving in
direction also. Leaving Hoboken one
would surely place the fire IN the
north end of Newark or possibly in
Belleville. Kearny or Arlington. AS
the advancing train covered the ter
ritorv across the meadows and the
flaming skv was no nearer to the
commuter. it became evident that the
fire blazed further TO the interior.
Harrison and Newark were reached
and passed by the home traveller and
still the fear and anxiety increa Seo
as tba realization became firmer that
the fire was somewhere in the heart
of the Oranges.
Those who resided on the south end
of the railroad tracks were greatly
relieved in comparison to their COM
panions, who had reason to believe
that the flames were in the vicinity
Of their homes. All the travellers
flocked over to the right side OF the
cars. 50 as TO get better view OF the
unusual illumination. Those that
considered themselves safe spoke
words of encouragement TO those OF
a more worrisome disposition, and the
women workers and shoppers return
ing from the metropolis, concerned
over the safety of their homes We're
also auieted and reassured.
All the cars in the trains became
centres for discussing the disaster
that most everyone seemed certain
was occurring Evening papers and
topics of the days news were for
gotten as the trains hurried on to the
stricken district.
BY the time that East Orange was
passed il was a certainty that the
fire was either we'll in Orange or al
the foot of the mountains in West
Orange. AT Orange, OF course, the
real source of the fire was learned
as the news spread rapidly, and in
formers at the Orange station told
the homecomers that the Edison plant

hour.
Early in the evening the fear was
widespread that the fire would ex-
tend, and the possibility of engultinE
the entire city and surroundings was
not secuted at. Lster, when the
blaze got under control and the Are
men were successful in saving sc
much of the works in centralizine
the fire, the populace took more
heart.
All through Orange the big fire
Sas looked at in the light of a mu-
kicipsl calamity. Orange is proud &c
be known as the home Of the Edison
industries and to have its name as
sociated with and distributed as
widely over the four corners of the
earth as are the Edison products. Or
ange took the fire as ., personal be-
reavement, a loss that it could moi
very well withstand.
