NUTLEY GIRL IN
ROMANCE REGUN
AT COLLEGE PROM.
Wedding of Miss Foss and Hart*
ford Man Surprise to
Latter’s Relatives.
Willis Oswald Lowe, of 8 Raymond
atreet, Hartford. Conn., left New York
e. week ago to accept employment with
the Weatern Klectric Company. Hia
mother, Mrs. W. T. Lowe, was much
surprised to get a letter from him yea
terday announcing his marrlago to
Miss Lillian Stuart Foss, daughter of
Charles A. Foss, a broker, of 44 Cathe
dral avenue, Nutley.
Mr. Lowe'e missivo to his mother
contained but a single line on a <im
gle eheet of paper. It read:
"Dear tla: I'm married to Lillian."
For a moment Mrs. Lowe couldn’t re
member who Lillian was. Then she
recalled Lillian Foss, of Nutley, who
had attended the Junior german at
Trinity a year ago and had quite mo
nopolized young Lowe's time during
her visit to Hartford.
Mr». Lowe found the letter exceed
ingly annoying, not because of the
news it contained, but because of ita
lack of more news.
“We never thought of objecting to
the match, you must understand," said
Mrs. Lowe. “We’ve known all along
that Willis has been tremendously fond
of Mi** Foss ever since he met her at
the Junior prom, but we hadn't any
expectation of anything like this. If
Willis had wanted to get married with
out splurging, it would have been all
right with us—we would have agreed
most willingly. If he had wanted a
quiet wedding, with Just a few more
frills, why. that would have been all
right, too ”
Both she and Mr. Lowe spent much
of today in trying to get into commu
nication with someone in New York or
Nutley who could tell them more about
the wedding. The meagreness of their
initial information, however, made the
task difficult, and last night they had
nothing but the telephone tolls to show
for their effort.
"I don’t even know whether Willis
took his Job or not,” Mr. Lowe com
plained good-naturedly.
Young Lowe has been taking a spe
cial course at Trinity College In elec
tricity and chemistry, and he was
greatly elated when he set out to put
some of his theory In practise.
The young bride is the daughter of
Charles A. Foss, a broker, of 44 Ca
thedral avenue, Nutley.
Miss Ellaine Hoff, of Newark, was
the bridesmaid, and William H. Foss,
a brother of the bride, wan the best
man. The couple have gone to Atlantic
City and will probably live In New
York.

flrtn of Fleischman Company, of 1

lbs oar. was a passenger. He jumped
out and helped pick up the Injured
lad. Mr. Fleischman wanted to rush
him to a hospital, but Healon refused
to go. He was carried to his home by
Mr. Fleischman and the chauffeur.
Dr. A. A. Mulligan, of Harrison, was
called and he found that the youth’s
left hip was injured and that he was
bruised about the back and legs. The
yeast man Instructed Dr. Mulligan to
do everything possible for the boy and
to send him the hill for services. Mr.
Fleischman was hound for his summer

occurred.

SUSTAIN VETO OF
ORANGE MAYOR ON
CONTRACT AWARD
Common Council Decides to Re*
advertise for Bids to Do
Scavenger Work.
By a tie vote of seven to seven the
veto of Mayor Arthur B. Seymour in
the matter of awarding the scavenger
contract to John Lohman & Co., of this
city, was sustained by the Orange
Common Council last night. The Loh
man bid was the lowest for three years
and that of Patrick E. Kearns, of Or
ange, -was low for the five-year period.
It was decided to advertise for new
bids, to be opened on July 3. Each
firm bidding will bo required *o furnish
the full names of each memoer of the
firm.
Two reports were turned in by the
committee on public health. The ma
jority report signed by Councilman
Quinn, chairman, and Councllmen Le
Master and Berryman favored award
ing the contract over the mayor’s veto.
The minority report was signed by
Councllmen P. A. Smith and Owen C.
Dolan. They asked that either new
bids be advertised for, or that the con
tract be awarded to Kearns.
About a dozen letters were received
from prominent business men recom
mending Mr. Loprete, of the Lohman
firm. A petition signed by more than
fifty well-known citizens, Including
General Edwin S. Hines, Joseph D.
Holmes, Isaac H. Blanchard and for
mer Assemblyman Coleman E.-KIssam
favored the award to the Lohman
firm. The majority report said that
Loprete was rated in commercial agen
cies as worth more than $50,000. V
Councilman Smith, following Mr^
Quinn's motion that the contract be
granted, notwithstanding the Mayor's
veto, arose and said: "I don’t see why
the majority of the committee should
be so anxious to award the contract for
three years when they were formerly
in favor of five years. When we were
seeking votes on the stump, so to speak,
we promised to look out for the city's
interests. Here is an Orange man $900
lower on the contract figure for five
years, yet the committee wants us to
give the job to a Newark, firm.”
Councilman Harry Berryman was
quick to answer. ''I’d like to tell you
something," he said. "How about pay
ing a man $1.75 a night to tvatch a
steam roller lest someone should hap
pen along and run off with the steam?
Is that looking after the city's inter
ests ?’’

settled by a referendum vote shortly.

Council It was decided unanimously to
leave to the people the question Of pur
chasing the plant of the Clinton Water

tated for months, and it was expected
by some that it would be settled by
the Council last night.
The water company asks $185,500 for
the plant, with the provision that the
Commonwealth Water Company, suc
cessors to the Clinton Water Company,
be granted all the powers and con
demnation rights now vested in the
Clinton concern Albert J. Lacombe

ones to voice any considerable oppo
sition to the proposed acquisition.

movement leading up to the question.
Former Freeholder Edward Jacobi re
ported on the result of a conference
with the State Potable Water Commis
sion as to the legal rights of the town
in granting condemnation power to the
company. He thought the purchase of
the plant was a good business propo
sition. It was a mistake, he said, that
Irvington had not acquired ownership
years ago.

nity, through the medium of the special

had been levied as equitably as possi
ble and the assessments were approved.

streets last year. He stated that a
careful investigation had been made,
but no evidence of anything wrong

committee and town engineer, and that
the money bo taken from the treasury
and placed in the incidental budget.

DENIES TALE OF
i STOLEN CHILDREN
| RELATEO BY WIFE
Mr. Breckearidge Says He Has
Right to Possession of
Youngsters.
•
In advices from Fincastlc, Va., Hun
ter Breekenrldge denies the story told
; by his wife, Mrs. Grace V. Breeken
! ridge, to a New York customs Inspec
tor on Saturday, that he had kidnapped
j the two children of the couple in Lon
I don and brought them to this country,
i He admitted, however, that he had
; gone to London to find the children,
j Dorothy and Grace, and that after
finding them had brought them back to
this country, -leaving Mrs. Brecken
ridge in London. Breekenrldge asserts
that the possession of the children is
his and that he has the right to have
them In his custody.
Mrs. Breekenrldge last night left the
home of Mrs. Meylert M. Armstrong,
Scotland road," South Orange, where
she has been stopping since her arrival
In this country on Saturday. She did
not divulge her destination, but It is
believed she went to Fincastle, where
the family home was located before
domestic troubles separated the Breck
enridges.
Behind the struggle for the posses
sion of the children is a long tale of
domestic Infelicity. A little more than
a year ago, following a disagreement,
a separation for a period of three years
was granted to the couple pursuant to
a divorce, the children being alloted
one to each parent.
Later the couple became reconciled
and again llv d together. Trouble again
arose and Mrs. Breekenrldge fled to
England, taking both Children with her.
Mr. Breckenrldg then started a chase
that covered two continents, finally
leading him to London, where he found
the children on the street with a
nurse maid. That was on May 8, and
Mr. Breekenrldge immediately hustled
the children back to this country, ar
riving on Ml; IB.

BELLEVILLE ELECTION TO
STAND, COURT DECIDES.
According to dispatches from Tren
ton this afternoon the Supreme Court
In an opinion refused to set aside the
election last November, In which It
was voted that Belleville Township
should become a town.
This action by the Supreme Court
terminates a long fight between factions
of Belleville who are for and against
town form of government. Previous to
last November the suburb had been a
township and the demand for the town
government was so great that It was
put up to the people at the polls. Those
for town government won out.
A number of the loses contended the
election was illegal, because the ballot
used only stipulated the wishes of those
who wanted the town form of govern
ment and did not give the other class
any choice *o show their displeasure
than remaining silent on the question.
The losing faction, headed by John N.
Keln. engaged counsel to have the elec
tion shown to be worthless and subse
quently thrown aside.

——
South Orange Patrolman Ac
cused of Calling on Domes
tic While on Duty. *
Adding to the troubles of the South
Orange police department comes the
allegation from Mrs. Henry Burt Hal
sey, a prominent society woman of
Fairview avenue, that village, that
one of its members visited her
home for a period of twenty min
utes while an duty and held a con
versation with one of her female em
ployees. As a result Patrolman Michael
Lally, who, by the way, has been be
fore the police committee of the Vil
lage Board of Trustees on more than
one occasion for singular incidents, has
been ordered te again appear and an
swer Mr*. Halsey's charges.
Policeman Lally was told' to appear
at the village police headquarters for
a hearing before the police committee
at 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon. This
he did in company with Mayor Arthur
B. Seymour, of Orange, as his coun
sel. But two members of the commit
tee, Chairman Frank L. Sage and Os
car Sehoenherr, appeared, William Ar
thur Babson being absent. After a
short session Mr. Sage announced to
Mayor Seymc -r that the hearing would
be postponed.
Mrs. Halsey, said the chairman, was
unable to be present yesterday, and he
added that the committee meeting
would be held within the next week.
This will probably be tomorrow after
noon, because Mr. Sehoenherr will sail
on a European trip Thursday.
Up to this time Lally had evidently
not received any specific charges from
the committee, at least none In writ
ing, and hts counsel asked what the
charges were, if any. Marshal Thomas
F. Maguire was directed to furnish the
policeman's counsel with a copy.
Marshal Maguire- presented Mayor
Seymour with a letter in Mrs. Halsey’s
hand-writing. In which she charges
Lally with having been In her home,
but In which no date was given.
“But these are not charges. There
are no dates, no names, places, etc.,”
said Mr. Seymour. “Let us have some
thing to defend ourselves with. Why
don’t you have the marshal file
charges?” he acked.
“We may have more charges to prefer
against the officer,’’ said Mr. Sage. "I
doubt if Mrs. Halsey can furnish the
date in question," he added, “as the
woman had no Intention of filing
charges until some time after the oc
currence, when during another inci
dent in which the girl figured the mar
shal was notified by Mrs. Halsey.
“The officer,” said Mr. Sage, “is
charged with leaving his post at 10:30
o’clock one night about two weeks
ago and going into Mrs, Halsey's
home, where he is alleged to have re
mained twenty minutes.” Mr. Sage
said he believed it to be on a Tuesday
night. The girl has since ceased to he
in the employ of Mrs. Halsey.
Asked what defense he would bring.
Mr. Seymour said 'Wot guilty, that's
all.” Lally later said he positively did
not enter Mrs. Halsey's home, but did
remember meeting the girl on the
street.
Lally was up on a charge a few
months ago of falling to kill a mad
dog, at which he fired four shots.
“WHO’S YOUR TAILOR?” NOT
A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
That the words, “Who's your tailor?”
do not constitute an offense against tho
laws of New Jersey, or could even lead
to civil action, was the decision given
In the East Orange Police Court last
ntght by Recorder Francis A. Nott, jr.,
when Principal Charles I. Webster, of
the Franklin School, had Martin
Woods, Jr., a young stenographer, ar
.raigned. The words were spoken at
Ashland field last week, but it was
not shown who made them.
There was a crowd of about fifty in
the court to hear the trial, but only
Mr. Webster was heard and Recorder
Nott said there was nothing offensive
in the remark and he could do nothing
in the matter. While it was not dis
closed In court what the phrase was
meantf later It was explained Hamilton
street, near the oval, for tho first time
has a tailor, and the youths were so
jubilant, "Who’s your tailor?” is now
asked instead of “good morning.”
