so completely that it is a good
South Carolina paper also. It's
editorials ring true. AS an ad-

OF WHO'S Who?
There Appears to Be a Mystery

Attendants.

CHARLES AFFlITTO is
GOING TO LOOK 1T VI

Something having many of the as
poets of a mystery surrounds the
employment of a temporary attendant
at the Jackson street bridge. The
attendant in question is filling in for
regular, who is away on vacation.
The mystery is all about the name of
the temporary attendant, and, while
everything may be all right, it is said
that both the Civil Service Commits
sion and the New Jersey Civil Ser
vice Association are sufficiently in
quisitive to begin further inquiry.
The situation is considered somewhat
out of the ordinary.
The more reporter sought to OBJ
tain light on the case, the more con-
fusing did things appear.
1t is question of who's who?' Is
Charles Affiitto Antony Marcella. or
is 1t vice versa or altogether differ
ent?
Here's the story:
During the vacation period of the
bridge workers each year, men are
appointed from a special civil service
list to substitute for the men absent
on their vacations. This rule became

employees, came under the Civil Ser
vice Commission by a referendum
vote of the people in 1910
Previous to the adoption of the civil
service regulations, substitutes We're
named from list of vocational men,
and when the positions were put un-
der civil service those on this special
list became eligible to seasonal men
only.
Afflitto Has Other Jobs.
This list contains about fifteen
names. One of the men is Charles
Afilitto, listed from 6S Garside street.
In 1913 Affiitto was appointed a sub
stitute at the Clay street bridge. He
is supposed to have worked there DUR
ing the months of July and August.
Shortly after the seasonal work ended
Affiitto secured a position with the
Gulf Refining Company, with an
office in Plum Point lane. He re-
NAMED with this company for some
time and then went with the Pure Oil
Company, of Harrieon where he is
working at the present.

WASHINGTON, July 1s.-cancel,a-l
tion of Secretary Lansing's intended
trip to Cornish to discuss the Ger

The change in program appeared
to have been somewhat sudden. Sec

retary Lansing would go to Cornish
shortly"
Secretary Lansing refused to con-,
iirm the report that the trip had
been definitely called of but adj.
mltted there were no Immediate"
plans for a conference, and that hA
had no knowledge that the trip would
be made at all The question, he
said, would be decided in the next
four or five days.

surmise that the president wants the
secretary of state to reach his own
conclusions concerning reply to
the German note without White
House influence of any kind and
that the chief executive himself also
desires complete independence OF

Officials believed the presidents

limited to the time required for full
consideration of the German Ameri-f

There was only one reason, Ii was
said, why Mr.. Lansing should go to
Cornish, and that was to avoid
shortening the presidents vacation.
The secretary was asked concerning

Good authorities said there was no
reason why at least thirty days

even longer than this would be taken,

Secretary Lansing would not COM

Aerial Invasion
of Mosquitoes
Hits This City
That Is How Commission Ac-
counts for Presence of
Pipiens Anyway.

The appearance of fresh water
house mosquitoes in the very heart
of Newark, despite a regular and
strict patrolling of every foot of
ground by inspectors of the Essex
County Mosquito determination
Commission, has led the anti-mos-
quito men to the conclusion that
this Is really an aerial invasion.
Reports have come to the commits
sion headquarters that pipiens mos
quitoes nave been appearing in dis
turbing numbers in sleeping rooms
in the very heart of the city. The
pipiens are especially guarded against
by the inspectors, as they are the
breed which specializes on indoor ac-
tivities and make sleeping almost i'm
possible
Today it was stated at the commits
sion that this invasion can likely be
attributed to clogged roof cutters
and pools of water in hollows on
roofs. The pipiens will breed any
wherein rain barrels. in old shoes
that lay about with half an inch OF
water in them, in any place at all, in
fact. So it appears that family may
be raising its own tormentors and
not know it, and the commission ad-
vances the recommendation that
families so annoyled see that all gut
ters are cleared and that all pools
of water are removed.

S.P. NORTHRUP
IS FINED $lO0
FOR CONTEMPT
Judge DUNCAN Imposes Penal.
ty--Defendant Will Appeal
to Supreme Court.

Simon p. Northrup, assistant title
officer of the Fidelity Trust Company,
was fined 500 for contempt of court
by Justice Nelson Y. DUNCAN in the
Supreme Circuit Court today, but
upon motion of Attorney Louis Hood
he was given until Monday, July 26,
In which to prepare an appeal TO the
Supreme Court.
The original order of the court was
that Northrup be committed to jail
until the fine was paid, but delay was
granted upon the request of North
rup's counsel, who also is counsel for
the Fidelity Trust Company.
Henry G. Dlckensheets. formerly a
subordinate OF Northrup's, COM
planned to the court that he had been
discharged from his employment by
Northrup after he had appeared as
witness in a case before Justice Dun
gan after having been warned by
Northrup not to appear in court.
Judge DUNCAN in his written deci-
sion reviews the affldayits filed by
Dickensheets and Northrup and the
answers made by Northrup to inter
rogatories propounded by Edward M.
Cole, who was named to prosecute
the case by Judge DUNCAN. Taking
the parts of Dickensheets affidavit,
which are not controverted, and
Northrup's own affidavit the court
declares that the only reasonable in
ference that could be drawn from his
actions was that he was attempting
to either influence the testimony Of
Dickensheets or prevent his attend
ance in court
The court asks if the purpose of
Northrup was not to influence Dick
ensheets either in his appearance or
his testimony why did Northrup not
wait until after he had appeared and
testified, before taking any action.
From Northrup's own statement
that In 1912 he was about to transfer
Dickensheets to the searching depart
ment and refrained from doing so on
Dickensheets's plea for another
chance the judge inferred that such
transfer would be a demotion, and
the transfer of Dickensheets after he
had testified, he construed as a pun
shment
Touching on the action of North
rup in sending Leslie ID. Johnson, an
other settlement officer. to the Court
House to see what efforts Dicken-
sheets was making to be relieved as
a witness. the court said: THE only
reasonable inference to be drawn
from the fact of his having sent
Johnson there was that 1t was for
the purpose of espionage upon Dick
ensheets's actions for the purpose OF
either influencing his testimony or
affecting his subsequent position and
relations with the company"
Northrup was in court in company
with Louis Hood, his counsel. Moth
ing was said except by Mr.. Hood,
who entered an objection to the pro-
nouncement of sentence on the
ground that the court lacked juris-
diction. The case, Aldrich against
Brinkman. in which the alleged con-
tempt of court arose, was a Supreme
Court suit assigned to a Circuit Court
judge for trial. Contempt proceed
ings would properly come before a
Supreme Court justice, Mr. Hood de-
clared. The objection was overruled.

Raise in Gasoline Price
This Week RumOred; Local
Offices Fail to Verify

Several local garage owners were
given an INSIDE" tip during the past
week that they had better lay in a
supply of gasoline, as the price OF
that commodity was to be advanced
by the Standard Oil Company from
eleven to twelve cents per gallon.
At the Newark office of that firm
today it was said: The man that
knows all about that is out and won't
be I'm until late this afternoon"
At the office Of the Gulf Refining
Company no information relative to a
reported increase in gasoline prices
could be obtained.
The Texas company here said they
had not received any Instructions
from their New York offices to ad-
vance the price of gasoline.

BARR|NGER HIGH
RESTRICTION ON
SUMMER PUPILS
Central High, However, Admits
Graduates from Grammar
Schools.

Whether graduates of the gram
mar schools should be permitted to
enter the summer high schools is a
question that may have to be Off
cially decided by the Board of Edu-
cation within a short time. Many
OF last months graduates have ap-
piled for admission at the Barrlnger
High and Central High. Acting
Principal Ralph Hart, of Barringer.
has refused them admission giving
as his reason that the summer
school is for the review of subjects,
and. as the grammar graduates
have had no high school studies.
they cannot take any for review.
At the Central High Principal
William Wiener has been admitting
the graduates of the grammar
schools. He has declared his in
tention of admitting as many as
want to enter. Mr.. Wiener says that
the object of the summer school is
to review one old study and take UP
one new one. With this In view he
is willing to admit the graduats
and they can take up one new study.
When the situation was called to
the attention of Isaac Lowenstein,
clerk to City superintendent of
Schools Addison B. Poland, he said
that the grammar school graduates
could be entered in the classes If
there was a vacancy, but that no ad-
ditional teachers could be engaged.
When this statement was made
known TO Mr.. Wiener he said that
his conception of the plan was that
Just as many as wanted could
take the summer course and that the
Education Board would supply the
teachers.
II Will admit all who apply" de-
clared Mr.. Wiener, and ] am sure
that the Board of Education will
supply me more teachers If they are
needed"
