POLICE COW TOO
CRAMPED, HE SATS
Recorder Nott, of East Orange,
Seeks More Room and Bet
ter Equipment.
Larger police court facilities in
East Orange are an imperative need.
Recorder Francis A. Nott. Jr., 'of that
city, says in his annual report, which
w as forwarded today to Mayor Julian
A. Gregory. That Ids contention is
correct Is admitted by those familiar
with the number of eases attended to
daily In the small room. The con
dition of the furniture in the rourt is
termed unsatisfactory by the magis
trate. and he recommends the pur
chase of better and additional equip
ment.
Need of a room for consultation
purposes is emphasised by .Recorder
Nott, and he laments the embarrass
ment that persons are subjected to
because of their inability to speak to
the magistrate privately during court
hours. He urges a room where war
rants ynd complaints can be drawn,
explaining the reason for this as
obvious.
From lhe fact that nearly suu cases
were considered during 1913 can be
gleaned an idea or the necessity tor
additional facilities, he says- it is
not an infrequent occurrence for the
room to be packed almost to suffoca
tion during the arraignment of pils
ners and the taking of testimony in
important cases
If the additional facilities cannot be
provided in the present building some
arrangement may have to be made to
have the criminal eases disposed of
in the City Council chamber in the
City Hall, which is in use only two
days a week when the District Court
sessions are held.
The exact number of cases handled
in the small room during 1913 was 731.
Of this 172 were of a criminal char
acter, 271 for disorderly conduct. 39
violations of motor vehicle acts, 11
violations of parolee. 123 violations of
general ordinances. 23 cruelty to ani
mals cases. S violations of compul
sory education acts, 38 traffic ordin
ance violations, l excise law yb iation
and 30 miscellaneous cases.
Prisoner Rearrested on Being
Freed from Penitentiary
Fond anticipations bf soon being at
liberty which were, entertained by
William McElbose, of 72 Clinton
street north, East Orange, when he
awoke in the Caldwell penitentiary
this morning, were shattered a few
hours later, when Detective David
Wendel, of the East Orange force,
rearrested him as he was leaving the
Institution for having threatened to
shoot his wife when he was released.
McElliose had served a year and a
month, and was to have been dis
missed this morning.
Wendel went to the penitentiary
andvrrestod him on a warrant. His
wife told the police ho made the
threat to shoot her as soon as he got
out of the institution. Fhe said she
was afraid of him. McE’hose is now
lodged In a ceil in the East Orange
headquarters, pending arraignment
tomorrow, ft Is likely the man will
be placed under bonds not to inter
fere with his spouse.
McElhose was given the year term
for violating his parole. He was first
arrested in 1912 and was put on pro
bation.

AUTHORESS TALKS |
Book of Self-Made Men Smells
of Steerage, Says
Mary Antin.
| "Americans speak of self-made
[men, and rightly so, but If a book of
our self-made men was written It
! would sme|l strongly of the steerage.”
! Thus spoke Mary Antili. tlic au
! thoress, in the course of her lecture
on "The Whole Gospel of Immigra
! tion'' before members of the UnUy
Church, Montclair, last night. f
"Independence,” she said, "was to
be taken seriously and in the spirit
of the fathers who declared that all
men were born equal and had tils
same right to liberty and happiness,
then there could be no restriction on
Immigration. Perhaps our forefathers
did not realize that the nations of
the eartli would be knocking at. our
doors for admission to pursue that
happiness which they expressed.
Neither did Mcses when he issued tin
Ten Comandments to the Jews realize
that they would be slaughtered by
hundreds and thousands and hell
down to the lowest depths because
they chose only to acknowledge ono
God and keep Ills laws. Yet the Jews
kept the faith.
"The Declaration of Independence
Is not to held as a fine-written docu
ment to put in a frame and only to
be brought out on patriotic occasions,
blit should be held as a law by which
we should be guided, if the theory
that all men are created equal is
established, then the theory of Immi
gration* Is settled.
"Democracy did not have its be
ginning in this country; the very
Phraseology of the Declaration of In-1
dependence could be found In the say- j
ings of men seeking independence In '
Europe long before it was written, i
We had a chance to Increase democ
racy and mature it because our gov
ernment acknowledged It.
"People now say immigration Is not i
what It used to be. Nothing seems !
just as it used to be, even the |
weather. Let us compare the early
immigrants of the early days with
those of today. Those that came
over In the Mayflower were Idealists; ,
they left their own country because
of religion. The Jewish immigrants
of today are also idealists and come
to our shores because of religion and
because Russia holds them In slavery I
on account of their religion.”
The speaker was born at Polotzk, j
Russia, in 1881, and emigrated to [
this country- In 1894. She was edu- ■
cated in the Girls' Latin School, Boa- j
ton, and Barnard College. She has
written several books, among them
"The Promised Land,” dealing with
a little Russian girl immigrant and
her life In America.

Fire Commissioner Who Quar
reled With Gregory,
Squelches Rumor,
Prompt denial of persistent rumors
that he intended to resign because of
the refusal of Mayor Julian A- Greg
ory to approve a bill he submitted for
personal expenses for 1913 was made
this morning by Fire Commissioner
N. Augustus Baldwin, of East Or
ange. Mr. Baldwin and the execu
tive were in a controversy over the
bill, as the mayor insisted that the
commissioner should itemize the
statement, but this Mr. Baldwin de
clined to do.
The rumors of Mr. Baldwin’s deter
mination to resign gained wide cir
culation in the city’s “official family"
this morning, and there was no end
of discussion over the matter until
Mr. Baldwin tf'as communicated with
at his office in this city.
“Absolutely false." he said, when
asked concerning the reports.
“I intend to remain as commis
sioner until December 31," continued
Mr. Baldwin, “and I cannot under
stand why such gossip should be cir
culated”
Mr. Baldwin did not attend the last
meeting of the commission and offi
cials attached importance to this,
especially as the body sustained the
mayor’s veto of the bill the meeting
previous, but the commissioner ex
plained it was impossible for him to
attend because of death in his family.
Mr. Baldwin was president of the
commission last year. He was ap
pointed by former Mayor William
Cardwell and reappointed by Mayor
Julian A. Gregory.

Park Commission Did Seek
Vacation of Kearny Street
That the Hudson County Park
Commission has requested the
Kearny Town Council to vacate
Chestnut street, between Wood and
avenue and Dukes street, Kearny, so
that the section of the thoroughfare
in question might be converted into
part of the new West Hudson Park,
■has been stated by members of the
board. An attempt made Saturday
by a Newark evening newspaper to
give the impression the request hsd
never been made by the park au

is president of the Hudson County
Park Board, declared yesterday a
communication regarding the vaca
tion of the street had not only been
sent to the council, but a map show
ing just, what the commission pro
posed to do was also filed. Following
the receipt of the map and-communi
cation, members of the council con
ferred with the park board,, and ac
cording to Mr. Davis, prohiised to
communicate later with the board.
Mr. Davis declares that has never been
done.
The Star last week printed exclusive
stories to the effect that citizens of
the town had taken the matter In
hand and were circulating petitions
wherein the council is to be requested
to close this section of Chestnut
street to vehicular traffle, "as re
quested by the park board.” The
petitions, it is said, are being freely
signed.
During the incumbency of Louis M.
Brock as Mayor, the park board dto
little or no work in the matter ot
beautifying park property located in
Kearny. All of the Harrison section
of the park has been put. in fine shape
