pendant Republican, stated that he
was surprised at the absence of az

sued such as the authorities have
never before had to deal with, while
the screw still remains i'll the piece
of furniture.
A few of the results of the screw
refusing to leave its resting place
of years are that Mosley spent sew
eral hours in the lookup, which he re-
fused for time to leave, although
Police Marshal Thomas +. Ma
guire left instructions to turn
him loose whenever he wanted to go.

ploye of Mosley is walking around
the town with the imprint of bed
slat on one side of his face and So
short, which he paid as fine; Pa
trolman Thomas A. Conlan is regret
ting he never studied law, as charges
of neglect of duty will probably be
preferred against him for failing to
bring in a prisoner after he had him
under arrest, and Marshal Mcguire
is marveling at the faith in human
nature, which caused Mosley to call
him up on the telephone and then
come to the station house.
Chooses Jail
Mosley was fined s5 for being dis
orderly, but instead elected to take
a stay of ten days in jail. Miss
Bertha Jones, with whom he boards,
paid his fine and Mosley was released.
No sooner had he learned that he was
to be given his liberty than he in
sisted upon going back to the cell
Il had the right to decide | have

when told of the fine being paid. Miss
Jones pleaded for him to be sensible
and allow her to pay the fine, but he
remained in Jail and was there late
last night.

GIRL INJURED AS
AUTO HITS POLE
Three NeWarkers Thrown Out
of Machine in
MontcIair.

Miss Minerva Schreiber, fourteen
years old, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
Max b. Schreiber of so Fairmount
avenue, is in a serious condition in
Mountainside Hospital, Montclair, as
the result of an accident last night
when an auto delivery truck in which
she was riding struck telegraph
pole on Bloomfield avenue, at Upper
Mountain avenue. Montclair She is
suffering from a fractured frontal
bone and severe cuts and bruises.
Her sister, Miss Helen Schneider,
nineteen years old, was also cut and
bruised. She was taken home by
Detective Sergeant Reilly, after re-
ceiving treatment at the hospital.
The driver of the automobile, Patrick
Moore, ef SO North Third street, was
practically unhurt. The three were
thrown out. Moore was held in $1,000
bail
Moore is employed by Ludwig
Baumann & Co.. of 40 Market street,
and yesterday had a load of furni-
ture to deliver in Upper Montclair
He was given a light business truck
to make the delivery with, and. it
appears. invited the Misses Schneider
to accompany him.
Delivery of the furniture was
made and II was about o'clock when
the accident occurred and as to just
what caused Moore to lose control of
the machine there is a difference of
opinion. Moore claims he leaned for
ward to adjust the windshield and

into the pole before he could regain
control, but Chief Henry Gallagher.
of the Montclair police, claims to
have the names of witnesses who say
the machine was coming down
Bloomfield avenue, which is on con-
siderable grade at this point, at a
high rate of speed.
From the condition OF the automo-
bile the impact with the pole must
have been terrific. The machine is
smashed so that it is not thought it
will be worth while to repair it,
All three OF the occupants were
thrown out and Miss Minerva landed
in the roadway becoming uncon-
scious Immediately. Passing autoists
sent word for the ambulance and at
the hospital 1t was found she was
suffering from a fractured frontal
bone and severe cuts and bruises.
Miss Helen only had slight cuts and
Moore was practically unhurt.
Moore was taken to the police sta
tion and was released when Timothy
Foyle, of this city, furnished $4,000
bail for his appearance before Re
corder Henry l.. Yost this morning.
After the case was called this morn
ing it was decided to continue the
hearing to next Tuesday.

A MODEL PARK
IN NAME ONLY
MilIburn Citizens Ask Town.
ship Committee to Repair
Damaged Streets.

/ That Model Park, Millburn, Is such
in name only, was the complaint a
delegation of citizens made at the
meeting of the Millburn Township
Committee last night. Recent rains
have wrought havoc with the streets,
the officials were told, and a plea was
made that conditions be remedied,
George Mason, of Oakdale avenue,
was the spokesman for the delega-
tion. He said in some places the
thoroughfares were washed out to a
depth of five feet. The delegation, he
said, did not ask for paved streets,
but simply wanted the roads filed
in so wagons and other vehicles could
reach their doors. Chairman Will
lam Byrd promised this would be
done.
The committee also urged the Town
ship Committee to take steps to rem
edy the great quantity of water which
sweeps down the mountain-sid from
Wyoming every time there is a big
rain. 1t is said that new storm
sewer, which is being installed in
Wyoming, will make conditions even
worse.
Committeeman Byrd pointed out
two ways of taking care of the waste
water either by building storm
sewer from Ridgewood road to the
Millburn avenue bridge over the Rah-
way river, at a cost of $4,000, the
township to pay 25 per cent. of that
amount, or by restoring the old brook
which ran through the Model Park
section before 1t was improved. 1t
was agreed that conference between
property owners and others inter-
ested will be held in the near future.
Rutherford Taylor of Pine street,
Wyoming, requested the committee to
fix up Pine street. A similar plea for
Conston road, in the Brentwood sec
tion of Short Hills, was received in
communication from Herbert A..
Rawll.

A number of young people have al
ready volunteered to take part in the
entertainment, and Mr.. Bedikian is
desirous of enrolling others. He has
also interested the officers of one of

measures, and it is probable that this
institution will agree to accept cash
