Boys Admit Stealing
Pigeons and Say They Also
Stole Feed for Birds

When Alex Olsen, George Higdon
and George Carroll. all Arlington
youths, purloined several pigeons a
short time ago their first thought,
according to the story told by them in
the Kearny Police Court last night,
was how they were to provide food
for the birds
The lads got their heads together
and decided, they said last night, to
steal some chicken feed. Accordingly
they went to the home of an Arling-
ton man who keeps chickens The
youngsters searched the premises and
finally came across a bag containing
fifty pounds OF chicken feed. They
carried the bag and its contents
away and proceeded to fatten UP the
pigeons.
In addition to stealing pigeons the
lads were also accused of taking
SQUAD. The latter died. The climax
was reached when the trio tried to
break into School No. to secure
some money. which they admit they
knew was in the school. Olsen. who
was on probation, was turned over to
the probation authorities The other
boys were held for Juvenile Court
action.

VOTE Of MAYOR
KILLS VAUDEVILLE
Bloomfield Executive Casts De-
Gliding Vote Against Extra
Features at Movies.

With the deciding vote on the
question of whether Bloomfield should
have vaudeville features at moving
picture houses, Mayor Frederick
Sadler of that town, registered in
the negative and thus were retained
the high standard of morals Of
Bloomfield. The ordinance did not
pass until many arguments had en-
sued among the members of the
Bloomfield Town Council, Those who
voted with the mayor were Council
men Hughes, Storm and Harrington.
The solons who favored the measure
were Messrs. Farrand, Thompson and
Atkinson.
Letters protesting against the
passage of the ordinance were re-
ceived from the Town Improvement
Association, John NJ. Carvall Bible
class of the First Baptist Church.
Bloomfield Evangelical Union and
First Baptist Church. Several persons
also appeared and voiced their senti-
ments against it's passage. After hav-
ing heard the objections to It's passage
Councilman Atkinson moved that II
be laid over for two weeks. This
motion was lost by vote of to 9.
An amendment providing that no ap-
plication be granted at the same
meeting at which the application
was made was proposed and was
carried.
After the passage Of the amendment
and before final vote was taken on
the ordinance Councilman Hughes de-
olared: "I am opposed to 1t because
1t does not remedy the situation.
Vaudeville at FIVE and ten cents means
a cheap grade. We have houses in
this town that are controlled by out
side interests who have not the in
terests of the town at heart. If we
are going TO have vaudeville let us
keep the fee at $3.50, which was pro-
vided for in an ordinance passed a
few years ago. II we pass this ordi-
nance as 1t now stands 1t will permit
man in this town, whose moving
picture license runs out In a few
months and whose place is now closed,
to try out vaudeville for a few dol
lars because the ordinance provides
that the theatrical license should run
only as long as the moving picture
license. the cost to be apportioned to
the time it has to rum"
The ordinance prohibiting the blow
ing Of horns and the ringing of bells
was defeated by a vote OF 5 to 1.
Councilman Charles Harrington, at
whose request the ordinance was
drawn, was alone in his stand
against the noises.
The Shade Tree Commission has
been granted the following amounts
fer their WORK during the year:
New trees, 5000; maintenance, $780,
and incidentals, $500. The commits
sion had requested that $4,000 be al
lowed them for incidentais, but after
conference lasting about thirty
minutes the council decided to re-
duce 1t $780,
A delegation from the Brookdaie
Taxpayers Association appeared be-
fore the council and asked for police
protection in that section. Tho mat
ter was referred to the police COM

CHANGE FRONT ON
FULL CREW BILL
lrvington Inprovers, After Vot
ing to Repeal Law, Rescind
Their Action.

Convinced that 1t had acted toe
hastily in approving resolution
urging the repeal of the full crew
law, the Irvington Improvement AS
sociation last night rescinded its
motion and defeated the resolution,
which had been carried by the
margin of one vote.
| Just before the meeting was to
close and after half the members had
gone home, Adam Breitenbucher,
| who is an employee of the Penn
sylvania railroad, offered a lengthy
resolution setting forth the unjust ex-
pense to which the railroads are put
by the law and ending with the ap-
proval Of the repeal Of the measure
which would place the entire matter
in the hands of the Public Utility
Commission. The motion had been
put when DIR. E. D. Bachman inter-
posed to speak against the resolution
He appeared to be the lone opponent
of the repeal.
Harry Wright. II. j. Gross. DR..
William F. Botromley and G. A.
Rossetter followed with arguments
favoring the resolution. which was
carried by a nine to eight vote. The
unexpected opposition caused Mr..
Gross to remark that he feared
many did not understand the matter
and DR.. Bachman agreed with him,
else not SO many would have voted
for the resolution. The latter tried
10 have the motion reconsidered, but
was told he was out of order.
H. r. Smith asserted that the as
sociation passed too many resolu-
tions without due consideration and
he believed that the matter should
have been referred to compittee
for examination and recommended
ton. Mr.. Wright acknowledged
that such course Is proper on i'm
portant questions and he moved to
reconsider the motion. This was
done, and when again presented 1t
was lost by a two-thirds vote.
An election of Ave trustees, made
necessary by q decision to incor-
porate the association. resulted In a
contest among seven nominees. The
successful quintet was Dr. Bottom
ley. Mr.. Gross. Frank N. Kaufman,
Mr.. Smith and Walter s. Gray.

of a clerk in the Newark office
which caused q delay in the delivery
