DECL|NAT|ON OF
CALLAHAN FILED
Kearny Democrat, Nominated
for Councilman, Formally
Withdraws from Race.

The formal declination Of Michael
Callahan as a Democratic candidate
for councilman in the Third ward,
Kearny, who. as told exclusively in
The Evening Star, had decided to
withdraw was filed today with Town
Clerk William b. Ross, of Kearny.
This now means that the Democrats
of the ward can line up with either
Of the RepuDncan candidates. The
general impression is that Health
Commissioner Frank Odendahl. who
is opposing Councilman Daniel ID.
Bryan for reelection on the Republi-
can ticket, will receive the ajorlty
of support from the Jeffersonian ad-
herents, who, in the opinion of many
citizens of the town, have permitted
to slip from them an excellent chance
to land Democrat in the council
from the Third ward.
While 1t Is generally known that
odendahl is to get the lion's share of
the Democratic support. the candidate
himself emphatically denies that he
sought it. 81 never asked anyone
to work for me-" said MIR Odendahl
last night when asked II he knew of
the deal that had been reported. In
explanation of his action In emf ering
the election fight after having been
defeated at the primaries, Mr.. Oden-
dahl made the following statements:
Il have been approached by so
many voters of all parties in the
Third Ward, urging me In the inter-
est of more energetic representation
on the Town Council, to become their
candidate on an independent ticket.
that I have decided to accede to their
wishes. To further my candidacy an
organization has been formed bear
ing the title of The Independent Vot-
ers League of the Third Ward
"As ] am absolutely unpledged to
any person or party. I feel that
can accept this nomination without
any political obligations whatsoever
and fully assure my supporters that
their interests will be protected and
advanced to the full extent OF my
ability.
I'm a later issue the platform of
The Independent Voters League of
the Third Ward and the scope of its
efforts will be announced"

HURT At FOOTBALL,
LADS MIND BLANK
Lester De Planque, of irving
ton High Eleven, Suffers In
jury at Base of Skull.

Hurt in a football game yesterday
afternoon, Lester DePlanque, seven
teen years old, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Martin De Planque, of Go Linden ave-
nue., Irvington. today remembers
nothing about the game or incidents
connected herewith. For a time his
mind was wandering last night, but
he is improved today.
De Planque was playing left tackle
on the Irvington High School eleven
against the Bloomfield High team at
the latter's grounds. He was tram
pied upon in scrimmage in the first
quarter, but appeared to be unhurt.
In the second quarter his mind sud-
denly became a blank and he forgot
where he was or what he was doing.
He could remember nothing since
boarding a trolley car in Irvington.
Brought home by his friends, he met
his father in the town centre and
went home with him. The young man
subsequently denied that he had seen
his father. DR.. James r. English was
called and found that De Planque had
suffered an injury to the base of the
skull.
He played a plucky game for Irv-
ington until injured. Bloomfield won
by the score of 80 to 0. This defeat
was due in a great measure to the alb
sence of the regular Irvington play
ers. Two of the team are laid up
with injuries sustained in practice.
Junior Fredericks is confined to his
home with an injured leg and Harry
Smith had his collarbone broken about
two weeks ago.

City Officials Work Late
in Revising Ordinances

Midnight Oil was burned last night
by East Orange officials, who have
undertaken the tedious task of revis-
ing the city ordinances. City Counsel
Borden d. Whiting, Recorder Francis
A. Mott, jr., and the members of the
ordinance revision committee of the
City Council tackled the job and they
made considerable progress before re-
alizing the midnight hour was passed.
Their work consisted in the main of
codifying the sewer ordinances.
Later on they will take up the gen.
eral ordinances For some time no
end of criticism has been directed at
the shape the measures are in, so the
officials are determined to have them
put in the proper condition.
1t Is the intention of the officials
to- eventually get the ordinances in
book form as they believe better
track can be kept of the whereabouts
of the measures than Is the case at
present. Some of the ordinances are
not drafted correctly, and Messrs.
Whiting and Mott, together with
Councilmen T. .McCurdy Marsh and
Frank B. Cotton, who also are law
yers, will attend the task of changing
the phra seology of the measures.
