enty-ninth year. He had come from
his home in Short Hills yesterday to
visit his son, and q half hour before
his death appeared to be IN excellent
health and spirits.
Word of tn. death of the former
pastor of the First Church occasioned
considerable regret here. Rev. Dr.
William J. Dawson, pastor of the
First Church, was notified by MEM
bers of the clergyman's family this
morning and Immediately arranged
for a meeting of the session this aft
ernoon, when resolutions of condo
lence for the family will be adopted
1t is probable that the use of the
church for the funeral services will
also be offered. Owing to the absence
in Atlantic City of Mrs r.. Rogers
Underwood. of Short Hills, the daugh-
ter with Whom DR.. Frazer made his
home, no definite arrangements have
been made for the funeral. A tele-
gram has been sent to Mrs Under
wood and she is expected to arrive
home today.
DIR. Dawson said this morning that
the death of his predecessor, DR.. Fra =
zer, would remove u man who had
always been an active worker in the
Presbyterian denomination ana who
was much beloved by the members of
the First Church.
I've seen DIR. Frazer at all the
meetings of the Presbytery. and all

Gated that he was greatly appre-
ciated. Some time ago | asked him
to take part IN a communion service
at the church, but he wrote me that
a previous enga cement would make
it impossible for him to attend. Many
remember him here with great affec-
ton. He was noted for wit. humor
and brightness Of mind. Whenever
he spoke he gave evidence Of possess

JUSTICE SWAYZE
RESIGNS FROM
100 COMMITTEE
Jurist Assigns Chance of Liti-
CATION as Reason for Quit
ting Fete Body.
WAS STRONG SUPPORTER
OF EX-GOV. MURPHY
Presented Resolutions of Con-
fidence in Head of Commit
tee Under Attack.

Justice Francis J. Swayze. Of the
Supreme Court. has resigned from
the Committee of One Hundred, say
ing in a letter To Mayor Raymond
that While he hopes litigation will not
arise in connection with the COM
mittee's work ii is not improbable.
and he wishes 10 be allied with
neither side. The letter of resigna-
ton. dated last Friday, says:
1T is with the greatest regret |
feel constrained 10 resign as a mem
Der of the Committee of One Hundred
for the coming celebration. The stu
alton has become such that while liti-
cation may. and | hope will be
avoided l ought fairly to anticipate it
as probable.
IF il comes | ought not to be con
cerned with either side and the only
thing | can do is TO resign. | feel
sure that the celebration will be a
success, Notwithstanding the present
situation"
The mayor would not comment on
the letter today. saying that ii spoke
for itself.
May Quit Museum Association.
The possibility of litigation has oe-
CURED to Justice SWayze because of
the reported determination of some
members of the Newark Museum AS
sociation to fight any effort to re-
move the museum contents to the
memorial building, on the completion
of the latter. 1t is understood JUS
tice SNayze may resign from the
Museum Association as we'll as from
the celebration committee.
Justice SwayZe forecasted his resig-
nation from the association at a meet
ing of it's trustees last Tuesday. when
motion was made by Director John
Cotton Dana to ask the memorial
committee to make known definitely
its intentions with regard to the mu-
scum contents. Tho motion was dis
approved and Mr.. Dana withdrew it
1t appears, though, that Justice
Swayze feels he has grounds to be-
lieve the forces behind the motion
have not altered their intentions, anG
] that litigation is sufficiently likely L.
make it necessary for him to with
draw from both bodies involved. FL
said Tuesday tlat The motion wa
calculated to start a row and strong
/ lv intimated that he would have t,
resign at an early date.
! In n recent instance Justice
Swayze was instrumental in smooth
ing over n difficulty in the Committee
of One Hundred while continuing as
a member. This was at the meeting
of the committee on December 81
when the resignation of former Gov
aruor Franklin Murphy WAS re-
ceived Justice Swayze presented a
resolution urging Nh Murphy to
withdraw his resignation and the
resolution was enthusiastically
adopted with the result that Alr
Murphy rcconsdered and remained al
the head of the committee.

HEALTH BOARD
READY FOR FIGHT
WITH RAYMOND
Sends in New Pay Roll With
Dr.. BaldWin's Increase
on 1t.

The Board of Health today asked
Mayor Thomas L. Raymond for a
showdown in the controversy be-
tween the department and the exec
utiYe. which began when Mayor Ray
mOnd refused to approve salary raises
which the board was positive health
authorities deserve. DR.. William S
DisbroW. president Of the board, this
morning signed and forwarded to the
mayor a payroll which called for a
check drawn to the order of City
Chemist Herbert b. Baldwin for the
increased salary the board had voted
the latter.
Approval by the mayor will mean
he has receded from his position,
which has antagoniled the health
commissioners. Disapproyal will
mean the board has been placed in a
position very distasteful To its mem
bers, the position of a municipal COM
mission stripped of tine power 10 con-
duct it's own affairs and mete out its
own rewards for service.
DR.. Theodore Teimer and DR.. Elmer
G.. Wherry have expressed themselves
tude. DR.. Teimer stated he did not
| believe the mayor had the power to
override the board in a salary mat
ter. and DR.. Wherry stated that if the
board were an elective, instead of an
appointive, body, its proper course
would be to make the salary increase
over the mayors veto. At a special
meeting of the board a week ago
Saturday motion to yield to the
mayor was voted down. The MEM
bers who voted for it stated they
believed that if the mayors wishes
were temporarily yielded to, the out
come would be that after the latter
had had the situation and the reasons
for the increases explained to him he
would favor them. Dissenting mem
bers did not take this view. "lf the
mayor doesn't trust us, | don't see
why we should have implicit conf
dence in him." said Commissioner
Frederick S. Crum.
Increases Granted.
The department heads and the in
creases granted them were DR.. Julius
S. Levy, director of the bureau OF
child hygiene 81 800 to s., 100, and DIR.
Baldwin. 81, 496 TO $4,000 Because DR..
Levy, as soon as he heard of the
mayors refusal to sign pay rOll con-
tanning the increased figures, at once
demanded that the increase voted 10
him be rescinded, the board moved IL
replace his salary at the old figure.
although insisting that it was in
sufficient. In DIR. Baldwin's case, how
ever. the board refused to rescind its
ruling.
So that the other employees salaries
might not be held up, a pay roll con-
forming TO the mayors demands was
submitted last week. But in order
that the executive might have no il
lusions about the boards stand. sec
ond pay roll, conforming TO what the
commissioners think is right, was
made up by Clerk William ]. Buehler,
and this was the one signed by the
president today.

paper Syndicate.)

Anne sat before her dressing table
and surveyed the satisfactory result
OF her latest attempt at millinery. The
tiny rose.colored toque with its
wreath shaded pink roses emphasized
the corresponding tints In her smooth
skin anG carmine lips, and made her
dark eyes look darker still. But as
she looked the color paled on her
rounded cheeks. her pretty mouth
quivered into wistfulness and her big
eyes locked plaintively into their coun.
terparts in the little oval mirror.
What's the use Of 1t all, Anne Muir.
ray? she asked her reflection. Here
you are. four and twenty, with a
peaches-and-cream complexion, a pref.
ty hat and decent suit, who really
cares whether you are thus or wheth.
er You are four times twenty. with a
wrinkled skin and bonnet and shawl?
Although no answer to this question
was forthcoming, Anne presently re.
sumed her soliloquy.
No use at all, my dear, for you don't
fit anywhere now. You've grown
away from personal viewpoint of your
native village, you've kept aloof from
the slangy girls In the Office where
you work, you've found the boarding
huuse beaux either stupid sticks or
wocidbe sports. and you've found that
the men you knew years ago before
they came to the city and made good
don't even think you worth an occasion
al call or trip to the movies or the
alter. No, they are climbing, and life
Is too short for climbers to be hamp-
cred by having old friends from home
tagged on to them. So, here you sit
all by yourself, Anne.
INDUCING In thoughts like these had
brought Anne to q more or less pes.
simistic viewpoint Of life in general.
The next morning, as she went to her
desk in the offices of big corpora.
ton, she felt little interest or ambition
In her work. She had hardly time to
put her purse in Its accustomed place
in her desk and to open the typewriter
shaft before an office boy came brisk
ly up.
The big boss wants you in the stock
room, said the boy. an he says to bring
your note book. There's somethin' do
In around here, but so far l can't
quite catch the drift.
Anne smiled absentiy at the boys
comment and fastened awayito comply
with the unusual demand. Her work
had never before taken her outside
the private suite. She found her en-
ployer, a stout middleaged man with
o bristly gray beard engaged In con:
ference with the manager Of the stock
department and she was instructed to
make notes OF the questions asked and
