HOUSE AND AUTO
HUSBANDS GIFTS

In an effort to determine how Mrs.
Eta Kingston obtained possession
of her house and automobile, j. n.
Spragues New York lawyer put
her through q rigid cross examina-
tion on the witness stand In the
bankruptcy court yesterday. Mrs.
Kingston is the wife Of Larue H.
Kingston, of the firm of Kingston &
Burnett, bankrupt shell fish dealers
of Mulberry street Mr.. Sprague is
counsel for creditors of the firm
Mrs. Kingston said that last spring
her husband was not contributing to
her support the way she thought he
should. She said she also learned
that he was in other ways neglectful
of his home. She said her husband
turned the house over to her in lieu
of the support she claimed was lack
ing, and declared that he gave her
the automobile as a wedding ami
versary present.
Yesterday was another ami
versary of their marriage. Kingston
sat in court and heard his wife say
she suspected him of relations with
other women"
Mrs. Kingston said she sold DR..
| Henry Wander Roest her automobile
She admitted that the doctor knew
| the car we'll before he bought 1t, as
a result of various rides he had taken
In 1t. She emphasized the fact thai
| Mr.. Kingston was always with her
| when DIR. Wander Roest was in tht
automobile. She said tho aoctor paic
| $1,000 for the automobile.
On the direct examination she sait
that the car had disappeared from II
front of her home. When questioned
by Referee Edwin G. Adams she sait
that she had sold the car to the vet
erenarian and did not expect to se'
it In front of her home, where sh'
had left it, when she returned. Tn

Members of the West Side Improve
ment Association want to know what
has become of the $3.50, 900 which that
sec tion of the city was TO have for the
Improvement of West Side Park. The
suspicion exists in the minds of many
of them that the money has been
spent for q pleasure ground in some
other section OF the city. There is
much feeling over the matter and
the affair Is to be investigated
At meeting of the association last
night, Conrad Breuninger made
motion that a committee of three be
appointed to make an investigation,
and John b. Brasser, president of the
association, promised immediate ac-
tion.
1t developed at the meeting tnat
there seems to be considerable diner
ence of opinion between members OF
the Board of Freeholders and the
members Of the park commission as
to how much money was set aside for
park purposes. The freeholders, 1t
appears, contend that park bonds Tor
S350,000 were issued and the Park
Commissioners only admit receiving
100000 of this money.
walter A. Evans, director OF the
board of freeholders, asked me II
wasn't present when bonds for
$3.50, 900 for the West Side Park were
passed and l told him that | was,
declared President Brasser
"I saw Walter A. Evans, director OF
the Board of F'reeholders and spoke
of the extension to West Side Park
too" said JEFFERSON Cort. "Mr.
Evans said that they had the money
for 1t and that the only way for the
members of the improvement associ-
alton to do was to go to sec the
park commissioners and ask them
where the money had gone to. This
was about January 49,"
"It seems" said President Brasser,
that the park commission has too
much work It seems to me they are
spending money appropriated for the
West Side Park for other purposes.
It seems to me they spend it
wherever they want to. We have
been before the Legislature and put
it through and we ought to get af-
fdavits. We should see that money
spent here be used in this section
and II we do not get it we should
go to the Governor, who appoints the
park commissioners.

THINK CIGARETTE
CAUSE OF BLAZE
Loss of ST, in Fur Store
Laid to Foreman's
Carelessness.

Fire of unknown origin, but be-
lieved to have been caused by a
lighted cigarette, carelessly dis
carded by a workman. caused fire
in the store of the Canadian Fur
Company. 595 Broad street, shortly
after s O'Clock last night.
The blaze was discovered in q pile
of furs in a rear room on the second
floor OF the building and the fire had
probably smouldered for some time.
solomon Phillips, proprietor OF the
store, was not in the building when
the fire occurred, but said today that
he had left his foreman, Steve ko-
vacs, at work on the second floor
when he left.
Captain c. Albert Gasser, superin-
tendent of the bureau of combustibles
and fire risks, sent man to invesu-
gate the fire this morning, and to him
Kovacs admitted that he was an in
veterate cigarette smoker and that
he had left a partly-burned cigarette
on shelf containing furs when he
locked up for the night at $3.50 O'Clock.
The cigarette is supposed to have fal-
len into a pile Of furs, causing
fire which smouldered for nearly two
hours before bursting into flame.
The damage is estimated at N,6O0,
partly covered by insurance.

EARS ARE IN STYLE AGAIN
LIFT UP YOUR HAlR

The new style of lifting the hair
from the ears looks much nicer If
the hair is soft so it drapes around
the ears rather than being pulled up
in straight, hard lines. To get the
best effect in any style Of hairdress-
ing every strand must be fluffy, lus-
trous and, Of course, clean. In wash
ing the hair It is not advisable to use
a makeshift, but always use prep
aration made for shampooing only.
You can enjoy the best that Is known
for about three cents shampoo by
getting a package of canthrox from
your druggist; dissolve teaspoonful
In a cup of hot water and your sham
poo is ready. After its use the hair
dries rapidly. with uniform color.
Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear. Your
hair will be so fluffy that it will look
much heayier than It is. Its iustre
and softness will also delight you,
while the stimulated scalp gains the
health which insures hair growth

WEST SIDE LMPROVERS UP IN
ARMS OVER APPROPRIATION
FOR WEST SIDE PARK WORK
Dispute as to Whether FreehoIders Park Commission to
Blame in Matter-Heated Arguments Followed by Appoint
ment of Committee to Investigate Matter

Adam Rossbach referred to the Din
now before the Legislature appropri-
ating $1,000, 600 to the city of Newark
for the erection Of a memorial build
ing in commemoration of the 2oVtn
anniversary of the founding OF the
city. The association placed itself on
record as opposed to the measure,
An explanation of the mixup pc
tween the freeholders and the PARK
commissioners appeared in the I've
ming Star two weeks ago, when lhe
commission requested an issue ol
$250.000 worth of bonds for the adol-
ton to West Side Park. The request
was laid on the table for investlga-
tion because the freeholders were un-
der the impression that the commls-
sion had already obtained all the
bonds that 1T was entitled to.
The records of the freeholders ana
those of tho commission showed,
however, that there was still authorl-
zation for the issue of S250,OOO worth
of bonds that the commission wanted.
Members of the finance committee OF
the freeholders declared, despite TINS
statement, that they had been gwen
to understand that the bonds ror
West Side Park were those tnat Were
issued some time ago.
AlOIlLO SOSt
park commission, admitted that thel
freeholders were partly right in tneir
Of the situation.
"The commission" said Mr.. Church,
"obtained 100000 last January for
the West Side project, after asking
for the money nine months previous.
"If we had the money when we
asked for it in the early summer OF
1914 we could have gone ahead WIN
the work, but when we got 1t In jan
uary, 1916, 1T was not the season Tor
our work, and, besides we didn't
want to use this 100000 and then let
work drop until we got the remainder
of the bond issue authorized for the
at West Side Park and
for another park in Belleville. We
are now asking for that remainder
$250,000. we still have on hand the
100000 and are holding ON to 1t to see
whether we can get the rest of the
money needed to complete both parks
"It would be useless to go ahead
and spend the 100000 and then find
that we had to wait nine months or
a year more for the other $25O,OoO,"
concluded Mr.. Church.

About a score of men, members OF
the Clinton Hill Improvement Asso-
ciation, met In Berkeley Hall, Clin-
ton avenue, last night and passed
resolutions approving the repeal OF
the full crew law. The men present
passed on other pending legislation,
expressing the disapproval OF the as
sociation of a. plan for pensionins
school ianitors and the bill providing
for q pension for the health officer
of this city after he had served a GER
tain number. of years.
Strong opposition, led by DR.. Will
lam Buermann, was offered to the
resolution for; the approval of the bill
permitting games of baseball, tennis
and golf In the public parks on Sun
day. This bill was finally approved,
however, by vote of 13 to 6.
Another bill that met with strong
disapproval on the part of the Clin-
ton Hill men was that intended to
establish a purchasing department
for the city's supplies. This bill Is
fathered by Mayor Raymond. In
spite of the championship of Dr..
William D. Bleick, alderman for the
sixteenth ward, the members decided
to disapprove the passage of this pro-
posed statute.
A New Office.
Discussing this, George M. Judd
said that 1t would only create a new
political office, with added patronage
for whichever party happened to be
in power. and added: "You know that
the law never will pass the Legisla-
ture unless one man in this city has
the naming of the man who is to take
the office"
What man do you mean?" in
quired Dr. Bleick.
"You know perfectly well who I
mean," retorted Mr.. Judd. Hes a
man holding a county Office that pays
him $1,000 a year and to which he
was appointed by the Board of Free
holders"
Consideration of the question of
Sunday baseball in the parks had
been made special order for the
meeting by the members at a pre-
vlous session, but 1t was not brought
up until just before adjournment.
Theodore S. Fettinger had asked for
a motion to adjourn, when Fred A.
Fischer jumped up and announced
that he intended to press the ques-
ton.
Immediately DR.. Buermann was on
his feet to protest. He said that 1t
was not fair to the other members to
bring the question up unless there
was a larger attendance. He moved
to lay the matter on the table. A
considerable portion of the city's park
system was within the Clinton Hill
district. and the homes of a number
of members were right on the borders
of these parks, he said. These people
were vitality interested in the ques-
ton and should be given an oppor-
tunity to talk and vote on 1t. "Some
of these games will produce a great
deal of noise" he added.
| Mr.. Fischer answered that al

Is Newark to have a municipal
organ?
This question will be partially an
swered tonight when the Newark
Musicians Club holds its first public
concert in Wallace Hall.
1t Is learned upon good authority
that at least three organizations are
contemplating increasing this munic-
ipal organ fund. 1t is expected
other societies will also follow, but
all are awaiting the results of the
local Musicians Clubs first concert

great deal depends upon the clubs

financially as well as artistically, VIII
mean great deal to the music-loVinE
public.
The largest audience ever assem-
bled in Wallace Hall Is expected to-
night and the program arranged Tor
those present is an unusually at
tractiye one, Five local teachers are
represented in the list of soloists and
nearly twice as many In the mixed
quartet and string quintet. All are
we'll known and represent the best
Newark has to offer of the younger
talent.
Katherine Eyman, the pianist, al
though one of Alexander Lambert 9
best pupils now, formerly studied
with Frederick A. Baumann, of this
city. She has had considerable ex-
perience on the concert stage, both
here and in New York. She was the
soloist, it will be remembered, at
the last concert of the Arion Singing
Society.
Arthur Walsh, a pupil of Louis
Ehrke is a young viollnist Newark
may be proud Of. Those persons
who attended the last concert of

Mrs. Kate Incordano lied to support
herself and seven children. She says
she did. She told lie to get money
TO feed the "kiddies." and then, when
confronted with evidence of her guilt,
told the authorities Of Belleyille that
she did lie.
Realizing the magnitude Of her
crime, the authorities-through JUS
tice of the peace-sent her to jail In
default Of bail on a charge of per-
Jury. OF course she had to furnish
a bond or go to Jail, because If she
was paroled she might run away and
leave the seven children she perjured
herself for to starve.
So Mrs. Incordano went TO jail
