Orange Camera Club Gives
Lantern Slide Exhibition

An enthusiastic audience last night
applauded the lantern slides in the
new Central School Auditorium, Or
ange, which were shown at the an
nual exhibition of the Orange Camera
Club A wide range of subjects,
gathered from all parts of the world,
as we'll as local illustrations and ex-
quislte flower specimens we're thrown
on the screen by Harry R. Terhune,
while Stephen Johnson, the club presi-
dent, gave a description of the views,
also mentioning the names Of the
clubmen who had secured the slides.
There was a charming variety in
the subjects, and the exquisite color
ing effects lost none OF their charm
upon the screen. Lurid-colored slides
Of the Edison fire last December, ex-
posures Of many natural charms hid
den in the Orange mountains and
other nearby places gave vivid de-
scription Of local character, while
frC.n as far away as Egypt were
characteristic pictures Of worldwide
interest. American subjects we're not
neglected and the exhibition was up
to the usual standard of the club,
which has a high rating, especially
among the organizations with which
the Orange camera folks make ex-
changes. The portraits of flowers
likewise found high favor with the
audience.

Application of MaplewOOd
Man for Liquor License
Again Dismissed by Court

Judge Martin in the Court Of
Common Pleas today dismissed the
application of Edwin T. Frankton,
of Millburn avenue and Baker road,
Maplewood, for a liquor license
Frankton had offered to pay s400 for
the license Frederic L. Smith, rep
resenting the Maplewood Improve
ment Association, opposed the appli-
c, ton because Frankton advertised
his declaration of intention, which is
required by law, in a Newark news
paper.
Mr.. Smith said that the law re-
quires that the declaration of In
tention should have been published
in a Maplewood paper.
Mr.. Frankton represented himself,
after the court had waited for q
short time for his counsel, Frank
M. McDermit, to appear. McDermlt
appeared after the case had been
heard
This is the eighth time that Frank
toms application has been dismissed
The cause of the dismissal has been
some legal technicality.
The Improvement Association says
there are enough saloons in the bor-
ough. About twenty residents OF
Maplewood were in the court rooni'
headed by Rev. Charles l.. Wolworth,
pastor Of the Morrow Memorial M. e.
Church, of Maplewood. e. c. Batch
also was among those who opposed
the license.

tain to retain their licenses, have

Thieves About to Raid
Hennery Scared Away
by Man With Shotgun

Supposed chicken thieves were
frightened away from the farm Of
Herbert Francisco, of Fairfield ave-
nue., West Caldwell, last night before
they had time to secure any booty.
The men, four in number, were seen
by Reginald Russell, of Schenectady,
N. Y, who is visiting his uncle, Peter
Blauvelt, OF Fairfield avenue West
Caldwell. He was returning home
about midnight when he saw wagon
in front of the Francisco home and
heard a commotion in the rear of the
house. Upon investigation he found
the four men in the chioaSen-coop.
Russell ran to the home of his
uncle, which is but a short distance
away, and secured a shotgun and re-
leased several large dogs that were
on the farm. and started back. The
men soon discovered his presence,
and started for the road. Russell
fired two shots at the fleeing men,
but they reached the wagon and fled
toward Fairfield.
A search of the chicken coop
showed that nothing had been taken,
but the men left several bags which
were to be used in carrying off the
booty.

Through the efforts OF Mrs. Richard
T. Newton and Mrs. Arthur B. Proal,
Mrs. Hale consented to come to Nut
ley, and the women of the political
union are particularly gratified in her
coming, inasmuch as only once pre-
vious, in Newark. has she spoken on
woman suffrage in this State.
Mrs. Hale, whose ability and sue
cess as an actress, lecturer and writer,
in turn, are well-known, has been
widely identified with the woman's
movement, both in England and
America.
Coming from family that, for
three generations, held a distin-
guished place in English dramatic
and literary life, Mrs. Hale ap-
peared under Sir Henry Irving
in his revival of "Robespierre." at the
age of seventeen. She has since acted
with Sir Charles Wyndham, Sir John
Hare and Sir George Alexander, and
has played Ophelia, Desdemona and
other leading parts with Sir Johnston
Forbes Robertson, and Ophelia with
Sir Herbert Tree. She created the
part of Marion Allardyce in Pinero' S
Lefty" and played Muriel Eden in
the London revival of 1.-THE Gay Lord
Quex." In 1907 she came to America
and during the two following years
appeared under the direction of
Charles Frohman in 1.-THE Molluse"
and 1.-THE Morals of Marcus" She
then Joined the New Theatre Com
pany in New York for its first season,
at the close of which she married
Swinburne Hale, New York lawyer,
and thus became an American citizen.
Since 1910 she has ceased to act
and has devoted herself to lecturing
upon poetry, the drama, English and
American politics, with special refer
ence to the rise of modern democracy,
and on woman suffrage and feminism
in their various phases. She recently
completed book on the feminist
movement, which has been published
under the title Of What Women
Want"

TANGLE OVER
ELECTIONS ON
AMENDMENTS
Reads Bill Invalid Because II
Sets Registry Day for spe-
ciaI Election.
From a stafT Correspondent.

From STAN Correspondents.
TRENTON, April 16.-Because OF oit-
ferences of opinion among the legis-
lators, a conference will be held on
Monday relative to fixing the date
for the special election on the consul
tutional amendments. AS the matter
now stands, two bills have been in
troduced in the Legislature, one py
Assemblyman Peacock. of Burlington,
fixing the date for September Il, and
the other by Senator William I.
Read, of Camden, fixing the date for
october 10. Tho Peacock bill has
passed the House, while the measure
introduced by Senator Read Is still in
the Senate.
1t is Senator Reads contention that
the election should be held on regis
tration day In order that the State
be saved the expense Of additional
salaries for election officers and other
expenses that go with an election,
while Assemblyman Peacock contends
that under the provisions of the Con-
stitution nothing else but the ques-
tion of constitutional amendments
may come up at such an election.
It would appear from reading OF
the constitution that Senator Read
is in error and that even though his
bill were passed, the special election
could not be held on October IS.
Article TX. Of the State constitution
reads:
'It shall be the duty of the Legis-
lature to submit such proposed
amendment or amendments
at a special election to be held for
that purpose only"
The last four words of the quota
ton straightens out the matter. The
special election must be held for
that purpose only"
Three questions will be submitted
to the voters-woman suffrage, the
simplification of the laws relative to
the amending of the constitution and
allowing cities the privilege Of con-
demning excess lands.

ITALY BOASTS
ARMED FORCE
OF 100000
Perfect War Machine Created
by Miracle, Says War Min
ister ZupeIli.


ON THE ITALIAN FRONTIER,
via Paris, April 16.-Italy today has
/, 900 first line soldiers under arms.
They are from twenty to twenty-siX
years of age. They are perfectly
armed and equipped otherwise to "the
last BUTTON
General Zupelli, the Italian minister
of war, speaking on the military situ-
alton in Italy said that a miracle had
been accomplished, in that a country
which for about twenty years had
maintained a military organization
merely for the preservation of peace
had created what he termed one of
the most perfect of war machines
The change was not easy, General
Zupelli said, as was proved wherever
the same work was attempted. Great
Britain, for example, had faced the
same problem, and, though possess
ing greater resources, was even less
prepared than Italy.
The war minister said that the
equipment of the army with weapons
was superior proportionately to that
of the German army at the beginning
of the war.
Eagerness of the soldiers concen-
trated along the frontier to begin ac-
ton is so great that their officers are
compelled to hold them closely in
check, for fear of disturbing border
incidents.
In view Of the extensive prepara-
tions which have been made, the
question is asked with increasing fre-
quency why Italy does not enter the
war. Men in a position to speak with
authority say that a majority of the
people prefer and the government still
hopes to obtain territorial concessions
from Austria without rupture of
friendly relations.
Weather conditions in the Alps also
must be remembered in consider
ing Italy's probable action. Snow still
lies in the open in the mountains and
the cold is intense. Most of the passes
are still covered with snow and ice.

KELLOGG CO. LOSES
PR|CE-F|X|NG CASE

DETROIT, Mich, April 16.-In deny
ing a motion filed by the Kellogg
Toasted Corn Flakes Company
against the governments petition for
an injunction to restrain the company
from fixing the resale price Of its
product, the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals, In a decision just
filed In the District Court here, rules
that the owner of a patented carton
cannot dictate the selling price Of the
goods which the carton contains.
The governments petition. filed In
December 1912, attacked the selling
plan of the defendant company, stat
ing that it specified the price which
the jobber, the wholesaler and the re-
taller should charge for It's product.
Arguments In the case were heard
last July.
In its motion to dismiss the gov
ernment's petition, the Kellogg Com
pany contended that its ownership
of a patent on the carton in which
its product was marketed gave 1t the
right to fix the price OF the product.
In it's decision, the Court of APP
peals says:
"The general rule is well settled
that a system of contracts between
manufacturers, jobbers and retailers
by which the manufacturers attempt
to control the prices for all sales by
all dealers at wholesale or retail,
whether purchasers or sub-purchas-
ers, eliminating all competition and
fixing the amount which the consumer
shall pay, amounts to restraint Of
trade and Is invalid both at common
law and so far as it affects inter-
state commerce under the Sherman
anti-tru act.
"It seems entirely clear that tho de-
fendant's selling plan here in ques-
ton goes beyond any protection af-
forded by the patent on the carton,
and is in It's essential principles vio-
lative Of the Sherman act"

Would Use Hospital Site for
Public Park and Playground

A plan is afoot in Montclair to have
the municipality purchase the prop
erty of the present Mountainside Hos
pital, that town, after the buildings
have been removed to the proposed
new site and transform 1t into a park
and playground.
The new medical building OF the
hospital was dedicated and opened
last week, and the surgical building,
which is of frame, is being prepared
for removal to the site adjoining the
medical building. This will leave only
small old building, which will prob
ably be razed. The land thus vacated
would make a desirable place for a
playground, as 1t is one of the most
congested sections In Montclair.
