FAIL TO CONDONE
ALLEGED SLIGHT
Members of BelIeviIIe Taxpay-
ers' Association Refuse to
Rescind Resolution.

Although the announced purpose OF
the special meeting last night of the
North Belleville. Taxpayers Associa-
ton, of Belleville, was for the purpose
of correcting the impression that the
members had Intended to slight Coun-
Gilman Samuel Y Cathcart, an honor
airy member of the association. when
they asked Councilman Edward o..
Cyphers to look after the interests
of GreyloclS Manor in relation to the
poor condition of the streets, 1t was
unanimously decided not to rescind
its action.
After a debate of more than an
hour the following resolution was
passed without a dissenting vote:
Resolved, That this association
does not feel that there is any reason
or occasion for making any explana-
ton or taking any action in conneo-
ton with the resolution unanimously
passed at the last meeting instruct
ing the clerk to write to Councilman
Cyphers regarding the bad condition
of the streets.
Resolved Further that we feel
such course would be looked upon
as indorsing or fayoring some par
ticular candidate. This we do not
wish to do officially"
In the course of the debate before
the passage of the resolution, ii was
contended that by some OF the speak
ers that they did not know of any
thing that Councilman Cathcart had
done for Greylock Manor or the town
itself.
After the previous meeting some
Of the friends OF Councilman Cath
cart protested against the action OF
the association in ignoring him, con-
tending it was unfair to him. Tho
press committee, through A. W. Van
Dusen, chairman, announced that the
association would not willingly take
any action that might reflect on
Councilman Cathcart, a representa-
tive from the district In which the
association holds forth Mr.. Van
Dusen announced that the matter
would be rectified at the meeting last
night.
Councilman Cathcart today said the
majority of the members of the asso-
citation are good friends of his. One
or two, he said, were inclined to make
trouble because of personal differ
ences. He did not believe the asso-
N.UsAOt hpuiO Willingly SilbHt VI Hui'
him. In fact, he said, members of the
association had told him after the
previous meeting that nothing was
further from their minds than Sigh,
to him.
Their action In referring the COM
plant about the condition OF the roads
to DR.. Cyphers, he was told, was be-
cause DR.. Cyphers is a member of the
road committee.
IF the minutes OF the Town Coun-
Gil are looked over" Councilman
Cathcart said, st will be found that ]
have seldom failed to be on my feet
fighting for the interests of the Grey
lock Manor section. The handling OF
the water main system In this section
was due to my activity. The fact also
remains that because / have been In
the minority and on no working com
mittees 1t was difficult to compel
active road work in this section. II
the residents of the town would FIRE.
quent the council meetings they woult
be more familiar with the efforts oil
the councilmen.'

Townsend Criticises Reply
of Republican Opponent

Congressman Edward w. Townsend,
of Montclair. addressed about one
hundred residents of the Fourth ward,
of Montclair, last night, in Church
Hall, Pine street, that town. In the
course of his talk, Mr.. Townsend re-
ferred to the questions he had put to
his Republican opponent asking him
if he would restore the infamous
schedule K' of the Aldrich-P Payne
tariff bill and repeal the Underwood
schedule, which admits raw wool free
and reduces by two-thirds the tariff
tax on wool and cotton clothing of the
poor. Mr.. Townsend said the answer
he had received from Mr.. Lehlbach
was that this law would have no eff
feet on him, as there were no sheep
raised in Essex county.
Mr.. Townsend also brought out that
since the tariff has been taken off
wool the price of clothing has dropped
about one third. He would like to see
it go much lower, he said, so that the
poor could dress warmer in the winter.
Other speakers We're: John A.
Braeken, candidate for sheriff: Harry
r. Backus, candidate for surrogate;
Thomas A. Kenny, candidate for AS
sembly; Michael j. Higgins, candi-
date for the Board of Freeholders,
and Dallas Flanagan, Democratic can
didate for mayor.

MAY INSTALL NEW
LIGHTS IN KEARNY
West Hudson Town May Have
white Way" if Plans Are
Carried Out.

Improved lighting facilities for
Kearny avenue, Kearny. and a thor
ough redistribution of electric lights all
through the town, are matters that
are Aow before the Kearny Town
Council, and which will be thoroughly
discussed at special meeting of ward
representatives tomorrow night.
At least one councilman from each
ward will attend the session tomor-
row night and the matter may be
discussed at tonights session. The
need for better lighting on Kearny
avenue has long been recognized. The
matter of making a change has been
quietly discussed between the council
and representatives Of the Public Ser
vice Corporation.
Councilman Walter r. Chapman is
chairman of the lighting committee
and he has spent considerable time
studying the proposition. 1t is an ad-
mitted fact that redistribution is abso-
lutely necessary for certain sections
of the town and it is possible that
some additional incandescents will be
installed.
The kind of light that is suggested
for Kearny avenue in place of that
now furnished by the ordinary street
arc is the same as that which will be
dcCo OI fCAlJ olAtCbt ttiAc S'e5f AAiS
lamp Is known as nitrogen tungsten
affair and throws a powerful light.
Whether or not the council will ar
rive at any definite conclusion at to-
morrow nights conference could not
be learned today.
1t will be an easy matter to nego-
tiate for the change because of the
fact that the town is not now under
contract with the Public Service.
There has been no contract since the
objection was raised over year ago
by the three West Hudson towns re-
garding the cost of the lights.

ENGINE HITS AUTO
Machine Wrecked at MontcIair
Crossing of Erie
Railroad.

Thomas Johnson. chauffeur. and his
helper, James Schuck. employees of
the Montclair Sanitary Laundry Com
pany. of Portland place, Montclair,
had a narrow escape last night at the
Claremont avenue crossing of the Erie
railroad in Montclair, when an engine
struck the auto truck on which they
were riding. The men escaped to
safety a few seconds before the loco
motive hit the vehicle, landing safely
on one side of the track.
The men were slightly cut and
bruised. Had they remained on the
vehicle a moment longer they would
undoubtedly have been killed. on ap-
preaching the crossing the truck WAS
to let west-bound train pass.
The cars blocked the view of the ap
preaching east-bound train and the
auto was on the tracks before either
of the men saw 1t approaching.
Almost an instant after the men
jumped the train crashed into the
auto truck, scattering portions Of the
wreckage on all sides.
The forward part of the truck was
thrown a distance of twenty feet. An
other portion was tossed high into the
air and landed on the west bound
track, tying up traffic for an hour.

CARDS to the payment of alimon
Baker claims that he paid his wife
$125 a month alimony until she re-
married, when he paid her $1,000 in
full payment of all his obligations in
accord with an alleged agreement be-
tween them. on the other hand, Mrs.
WEIGH denies any such agreement and
says there is $3.50 back alimony due
to her.
Mrs. WEIGH brought suit for divorce
in March, 1910, charging desertion
After numerous hearings a final de-
cree was made in her favor on Oc-

for Mrs. WEIGH today, while Mr..
Baker was represented by Edward A..

bulk of the evidence.
While the divorce suit was in prog
ress Mrs. WEIGH created a sensation
by appearing suddenly at the Wall
dorf-Astoria Hotel in New York and
kidnapping her son, who was staying
there with his father.

Good digestion usually means good

kidneys and intestines will perform their
work perfectly and remain In perfect
health; but permit anything to interfere
with the proper digestion of food, an un-

About the only thing that will upset the
stomach and interfere with digestion is
M excess of acid, usually caused by food
fermentation. Food fermentation Is due
to chemical action in the food itself.
This fermentation causes the formation
of gas, or wind, as well as acid, result

stomach and the burning by the acid of
the delicate lining of the stomach.
Medicine and tonics cannot relieve this
condition-tbey usually make 1t worse.
The fermentation and acid are to blame
and these must be overcome and pre-
vented by taking after meals a teaspoon
full Of bisurated magnesia in little hot
or cold water. Physicians recommend
bisurated magnesia especially because 1t
stops and prevents fermentation of food
