EDISON ENJOYS
HIS FIRST TALK
ON TELEPHONE
Inventor In San Francisco
Chats With Friends in
West Orange.

For the first time in his life ThoTn-
as A. Edison, the inventor, conyersed
over a telephone last night. He had
often used the phone before but only
for the purpose of transmitting
orders. Because of deafness he was
unable to hear what the other party
on the wire was saying.
The conversation last night was
made possible by mechanical
arrangement which amplified the
vocal sounds. MIR. Edison used the
phone from San Francisco to friends
In his laboratory at West Orange.
The event marked the thirty six tn
anniversary of the perfection of the
ineandescent electric light by Mr..
Edison.
During the telephone conversation
Mr.. Edison was seated In a section
allotted to the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company at the Pan
ama-Pacific Exposition. From this
point he sent his voice 3,400 miles
across the continent to West Orange
and then had the pleasure of hearing
his friends here extend their eongrat-
ulations.
Mr.. Edison In experiments with
the transmitting appliance at Menlo
Park years ago used to talk into the
transmitter to workmen stationed
out in the yard.
He was the first to use "hello" over
the wires.
In making his tests 1t was his GUS
tom to say hello" to the workmen
out in the yard. They answered him
by waving their arms instead or re-
plying over the wires.
Il was Edison Day" at the expo
s,t,on Yesterday. The inventor, aid
ed by q special sound amplitier, lis
tened In San Francisco as long
message came over the wires from
Miller Reese Hutchison, chief engi-
neer at the Edison plant in West Or
enge. The message congratulated
Mr.. Edison on his anniversary and
told him that 1862 of his friends had

MARRONE DID NOT
VENTURE UPON
A GARBAGE BID
Would Have Been Fourth or
Fifth, Anyway, Said His Lo-
cal Representative.
NEWARK PAVING co.'s
BID is THE LOWEST
Awarding of Contract Is De-
ferred One Week by
Works Board.

There was considerable surprise at
the meeting Of the Board of Street
and Water Commissioners yesterday
afternoon when the bid on the refuse
collection contract of Joseph Marrone
Contracting Company, Inc, was
missed.
J. Milton Kennedy, Mr. Marrone's
local representative, was at the meet
ing and remained until after the bids
were received and .opened When
asked by a Star reporter whether Mr..
Marrone had made joint bid with
the Newark Paving Company, low
bidder, Mr.. Kennedy said that Mr..
Marrone had telephoned to him
earlier in the afternoon that he in
tended to submit a bid, but Mr.. Mar
rome did not make his appearance at
any time during the afternoon.
"If we had submitted a bid, we
would have been up with the fourth
and fifth bidders. The price that has
been bid by the Newark Paving Com
pany is so low that they scarcely can
make any money, AS a matter Of
fact it will cost q great deal more
than last year since the contract is
far more severe than last year. For
instance the hours of labor have been
reduced from twelve to eight hours
per day, and the men recently re-
ceived a twenty-five cent raise, which
means total increase in our pay roll
of $4,000 per year. Then again four
collections for garbage throughout
will mean additional men and equip
ment."
1t was thought by some OF the
Board of Works commissioners that
since the bid OF the Newark Paving
Company was SO much lower than
any of the other bids, the Marrone
Company might have made "a Joint
bid. The next lowest bidder was the
Malorey Contracting Company in
which Benjamin Meyer. who had the
contract some years ago is Interested,

ing Company.

SCOUTS DECLARE
WAR ON "FRATS"
IN HIGH SCHOOLS
Good Scout Cannot Be a Frat
Member" Axiom in
MontcIair.
TROOP LEADERS SEND
LETTERS TO PARENTS
Movement Inaugurated by
Scout Commissioner In
dorsed by Principal.

' The Boy Scouts of Montclair nave
declared war on the High School fra
ternities. and il Is now held as
automatic by the scout officials of
Montclair, who direct the activities of
the 300 scouts of Montclair and Glen
Ridge, that a good scout cannot be a
frat" member. strong letter on
the subject is being sent out to High
School students parents
Montclair women who are mothers
of members of frat" boys have ex-
pressed concern within the last few
days over secret journeys by their
boys to the New York clubhouse of
one of the fraternities. In one case,
at least, the son confessed that he
had been there but evaded all ques-
tions as to the way he spent his time
there.
The most prominent fraternities are
the Sigma Sigma, Delta Pheta, Alpha
Iota Epsilon, Sigma Kappa Delta,
Omega Gamma Delta and Sigma
Delta Phi The two girls sororities
in the High School are the Tai Beta
Phi and Kappa Sigma.
Little concern is felt over the sorori-
ties, as their influence Is believed to
be harmless; but the tendency of the
boys to form cliques is one that has
been the subject of not a little public
speaking in Montclair. On number
of occasions the boys and girls of
Montclair have been declared by
prominent Montclairians to be ''too
old for their age.
Principal Opposed.
Principal Herbert w. Dutch, OF the
High School, recently addressed loo
members ~ef the Womeus Club OF
Upper Montclair on the matter. He
said that he was unalterably opposed
to the fraternity and sorority, so long
as 1T interefered in any way with
school duties.
Most of the educational authorities
of the town are unalterably opposed
to the fraternity, but no official
action has been taken, 1t Is said, be-
cause such action might appear tO
dignity the organizations.
Leaders of all troops of the Mont
clair scouts are sending out a letter
written by Scout Commissioner Frank
II. Gray to parents of their scouts who
are High School boys. Almost coin-
cident with the writing of this letter
Mr.. Gray inaugurated a new feature
in the organization. 1t Is no longer
possible, as a result for a scout to
simply drop out of the scouts. He Is
discharged. honorably, merely dis
charged or receives a dishonorable
discharge.
The letter follows:

have proven so entirely antagonistic

PRIEST IN AUTO
WHICH FATALLY
INJURIES A BOY
Father Benedict Returning
from Sick Call When Lad
Is Run Down.

Ralph Ceratto, twelve years old, OF
2S Fourteenth avenue, was fatally
injured this forenoon while on his
way to school by being run down by
an automobile driven by Rev. Bene-
dict F'lum, o. s. b., of st. Mary's
Church, who was on his way home
from a sick visit to a patient In the
German Hospital. The boy died
later
The accident happened at South
Orange avenue and Jones street
shortly before o'clock. The priest
picked the lad up and brought him to
the city Hospital in the car where at
first Ceratta only complained of
pain in his leg. The right hip was
broken.
Examination disclosed internal
hemorrhages, however, and so serious
did these become that an operation
was decided on, In spite of the ef-
forts of the physicians, however, the
boy died at 1880, about four hours
after the accident. The boy did not
lose consciousness and did not seem
to realize that he was badly hurt.
The boys father and other near
relatives, who We're in the hospital
at the time of his death became hys-
terical to such an extent that re-
serves from the Fifth precinct were
summoned to assist Dr. Ambrose F.
Dowd, the house physician. in re-
straining them.
Father Benedict, as his parishioners
call him, went home, after bringing
the boy to the hospital, telling Police
man Harry Theobold, of the Fourth
Precinct, he would appear at the po-
lice station when wanted. AS soon as
the boy died, Police Captain Oscar
Vogel sent for Father Benedict,
against whom a charge of manslaugh-
ter was preferred.
Priests Story OF Accident.
The priest says, and his story was
borne out by that of Policeman Theo-
bold, that he was driving east in
South Orange avenue at not more
than eight miles an hour when the
boy suddenly darted from back of a,
standing wagon, dire0tly In the path
of the car.
'I did not see him until after | felt
the Jolt of the car going over his
body" Father Benedict said. II was
going so slow l stopped within few
feet and, seeing the boy was hurt,
hurried with him to the hospital"
Father Benedict was alone In the
car, which was a runabout he has
owned for few weeks.
