Former Madison Mayor Saves
Sewer Plant Superintend
ent at Conference.
[Special to the Evening star.l
CHATHAM, April 21.-An attempt
to oust Paul Mollltor, superintendent
of the sewer plant, was foiled at
the outset by former Mayor James
P. Albright, of Madison, at the quar
terly meeting of the Madison-Chat
hani Joint sewer committee, held here
last night. Having been released as
road commissioner of Chatham. Mr.
Mollltor Is now supervising the plant
at the salary he formerly received
for both positions—$9,3. .\fr. Orlnell,
a Chatham representative on the
committee, stated that he did not
believe that the contract of the com
mittee with Mr. Mollltor was made
for more than three months.
Mr. Albright replied that in his
opinion the contract hound both bor
oughs for a year, and by Its provis
ions Mr. Mollltor was entitled to $9j
for his services during the month.
He further stated that the present !
man has kept the plant in the best i
of condition.
‘‘Even if the contract were not \
binding, It would not be wise to
change men every three months," he
declared. Any possibility of ousting
Mr. Mollltor was ended then and
there.
Tho seventh quarterly report of I
Clyde Potts, tho engineer, showed that
the upper level Imhoff lunks have
been uncovered by Mr. Mollltor at a,
cost of about. $300. This, he stated,
has greatly Increased the efficiency of
the planl without the creating of any
distasteful odors. A complaint had
been (lied with the State Board of
Health about this matter by Mr.
Budd, an adjoining property-owner,
who stated that, the tincovering of
these tanks was a violation of the
agreement with him. State officials
inspected the plant, said Mr. Potts,
and found no ground for complaint.
John Capstick, president of tho
State Board, complimented the man
agement. of the plant, on Its splendid
condition, and said that he was
surprised to And It running so well.
Mr. Potts slso staled that tho
Claim made several times that tho uso
of the Imhoff tanks Is an infringe
ment. on tho Cameron septic tank
system has proven a fake and a swin
dle.
A report was road showing the totnl
cost of the Joint si lver system to
date to bo about $111,000.
A resolution was adopted to tho
effect that $1,400 bo paid to tho treas
urer of the Joint sewer fund. Of this
amount Madison’s share Is $1,000
and that of Chatham $400.

SUMMIT’S “KIDNAPED COP” PUTS ONE OVER
ON MAYOR AND IS AGAIN SWINGING CLUB
[Special to the Evening Star.]
SUMMIT, April 21.—William J.
George, who gained notoriety recently
through being "kidnaped” by a man
who he attempted to arrest as a
burglar Buspect, and was later dis
missed for it by Mayor Francis H.
Bergen, has "put one over” on the
mayor.
He is working again in the capacity
of a policeman, although his duties
aro limited to the estate of George B.
Vanderpoel, and he goes by the title
of deputy sheriff. He secured the
place after Mayor Bergen had refused
to let him have it.
When he was dismissed as a police
officer the mayor told him he could
apply at the end of thirty days for
the job of “chanceman," which is a
policeman not subject to the routine
of the regular officers. The thirty
days expire Friday.
George, however, made application
to the mayor to be appointed a spe
cial officer so he could serve on the
Vanderpoel estate, at a salary of $80
a month. The mayor refused, telling
him the only way he could scerve In
official capacity was as a chanceman
at $60 a month, If he cared to make
application.
The ex-patrolman wasn’t to be
thwarted by the mayor again, how
ever. He went right down to Eliza
beth and had Sheriff William H.
Wright appoint him a deputy, and
today he, leaned over the fence of the
Vanderpoel estate, swinging a club
and smiling his compliments to his
erstwhile brother officers, who had
heard of Mayor Bergen’s refusal to
let him have the job.
He says he wouldn’t take the job
of chanceman on a bet.

PROTECTS MADISON
j Regulates Claims Against Bor
ough for Railroad Damages.
Passes First Reading.
MADISON, pril 21.—There can be
little objection on the part of Madi
sonlans to the railroad ordinance nut
on first reading at the adjourned
meeting of the council held last even
ing. There may, however, be some
opposition by the officials of the
Lackawanna railroad, who will prob
ably be present at another adjourned
meeting to be held Monday evening.
Following this meeting, there will be
a public hearing on May 4. for objec
tions to the new proposed contract.
Madison Saves on Damages.
What is generally conceded to be
the most important change is the
limitation of the property damages to
be paid by the borough. The new' or
dinance provides for the same divi
sion of the damages—60 per cent, for
the railroad and 40 per cent, for the
borough—but further provides that
the amount to be paid by the town
will not exceed $10,000, which figure
was based proportionately on the
cost to nearby towns along the line.
In this the railroad committee has
concurred with the sentiment ex
pressed at the hearing held three
weeks ago. subway for Rldgedale
avenue Is the provision made for the
elimination of this crossing. This
plan la said to be feasible by en
gineers. and, If agreed on, will prove
the ending of much controversy in
regard to this street.
• Councilman Snyder stated that this
ordinance has not been seen by the
officials of the railway, but will be
sent to them this week. No provision
has been made for the width or clear
ance In the subway, nor as to
whother or not thero will be a pier
In the center of Madison avenue.
Freeholder Carle, Madison repre
sentative on the Board of Freehold
ers, which controls Madison avenue,
has stated that this board will not
stand for a pier In Madison avenue.
The ordinance states that no agree
ment shall be entered Into to change
a county road without first concurring
with the Board of Freeholders. The
use of a subway at Rldgedale ave
nue has two engineering advantages.
Its course will cut diagonally across
James Park, making the distance
longer, thus effecting a lower grade,
and Intersecting Madison avenue at
a point below’ Grace Episcopal
Church, where the street Is miich
lower than at the present intersec
tion of Rldgedale avenue with Madl
sou »venue.
The clear statement that this eon
tract Will only he valid after the ap
proval of the Public Utility Commis
sion Is another result of the hearing.
Also that in case of conflietlon be
tween the supplied maps and profiles
the written portion, and not tho plans
as formerly provided, shall govern.
Calls for Higher Elevation.
Although the ordinance does not
state so, it calls for a higher eleva
tion In parts of the course through
the town. In nearly all cases above
the lte of tho proposed new station,
the depth of the cut thought neces
sary Is lessened and In one case, that
on Madison avenue, the clearance Is
increased from twelve and o'ne-hnlf
to thirteen and one-half feet.
Tho now specifications call for the
width of Kings road to be fifty feet
as relocated and states what kind of !
macadam shall be used and how deep
It shall be constructed,
A provision is made whereby the I
borough is protected against all dam
age claims of property holders, who
claim they are damaged by the tem
porary closing of any street.
Other changes In the ordinance pro
tect the town against legal complies-1
tlon.
*1,000 for Sewer.
It was resolved that a warrant for ’
$1,000 be drawn as Madison’s share j
In the cost of the maintenance of the I
Madlson-Chatham Joint sewer plant
at Chatham.
An alleged violation of a deed of
dedication of a triangular park at the
corner of Woodland and Gafficld ave
nue by the erection of electric light
poles and the establishment of a road
way was referred to the street com
mittee. The communication was from
Alfred G. Evans, who stated that he
thought this to be a violation of the
deed of dedication of a public park.
This matter was brought up before
and referred to the same committee.
Borough Attorney Ttathhun reported
that he was asked whether there was
any legal obstacle to the erection of
poles or the use of the park as a
roadway, and he stated that there
was not. This explained the contin
uance of the former condition after it
had been complained of.
Permission was granted Joseph V.
Corbett to remove a house from the
Beaupland property on Main street
to his lot on Maple avenue.
E. F. Frenx requested permission to

SUMMIT WANTS NO
PERSONAL EXHIBIT
State's Tuberculosis Show
Must Not Contain Local Il
lustrations or Views.
CSpeeiftl to the Kvenlng Stftr.J
SUMMIT, April 21.—On the condi
tion that the display shall be strictly
impersonal, the State Department of
Health is to be invited to hold its
tuberculosis exhibit here for five
days beginning the week of May 11.
This was decided at the meeting of
the committee appointed by Dr. Will
iam H. Lawrence, jr., president of the
I'oard of Health, to arrange for the
exhibit.
Mayor Francis H. Bergen, who pre
sided; Delangel Haigh and Mrs.
Lemuel Skidmore, of the committee,
expressed themselves in strong oppo
sition to the scheme as carried out
in other places, where photos of the
interior of tho homes of poor persons
or foreigners were displayed. Mr.
Haigh, who for several years served
os a member of the State organiza
tion for the prevention of tubercu
losis, and who is a member of the
Board of Trade's anti-tuberculosis
committee, recalled the trouble which
ensued at tho social service exhibit
in Morristown a few weeks ago, when
angry foreigners objected to pictures
of their homes, and destroyed much
of the exhibit None of the members
of the committee desired a repetition
of the trouble here, although some
ot them at least entertain no objec
tion to having unsanitary living or
squalor which may have been found
in other towns or cities pictured at
the exhibit here
.Mayor's views on ruDercniosn.
Mayor Bergen expressed the be
lief that tuberculosis is not an in
herited malady, but is developed in
consequence of improper nutrition,
unsanitary living and from other
causes. To his mind the corrections
of these causes for the coming gen
eration is the great problem and this
may be done through physical edu
cation.
Mr. Haigh told of the great good
which has been accomplished through
the efforts of the State and local or
ganisations in the fight against
phthisis. Ho pointed out that this
city is not confronted with the prob
lems arising from the disease and its
prevention that confront those seek
ing to combat the malady in large
manufacturing cities such as New
ark or places of large and complex
population. If the exhibit wore to
he of any considerable expense to this
city Mr. Haigh said he would be op
posed to it.
Tn Be Held In Lincoln School.
For the Board of Education Miles
S. Sherwood proffered the use of any
of the school buildings fr the exhibit,
and it was decided to use the audi
torium of Lincoln Hchool. The ex
hibit will be held afternoons for chil
dren and in the evening for adults.
The State department will provide a
lecturer with the exhibit.
Would Keep Children Out.
President James W. Cromwell, of
the Board of Education, who was
unable to be present, was reported to
bo strongly opposed to (he exhibit.
Ho believes such u display should
not be presented to children. Mayor
Bergen also said that If views of
emaciated persons, sufferers in the
last stages of the disease, diseased
lung tissues and such repulsive scenes
were to lie shown to the children he
would not favor the display.
The mayor and Mrs. Skidmore
thought it might be well to present
pictures of unsanitary cellars or un
sightly or unsanitary yards or va
cant property.
Dr. Lawrence and Mayor Bergen
were continued as a committee to se
cure speakers and appoint the neces
sary suh-eommittces to aid In mak
ing the exhibit here a success. Dr.
Robert H. Hnmmlll, through Mayor
Bergen, volunteered to secure a
specialist on tuberculosis from Phila
delphia to make an address on one
evening during the display, and It Is
likely local physicians and Hamil
ton Wright Mabie will each give a
lecture during the exhibit.

in the trial of Alexander T. McGill,

Jersey City banker and surgeon, and
for years surgeon-general of the New
eisey National Guard, will probably

was in the car, was killed. Parreidt £
was a close friend of Justice Ernest
J. Heppenheimer, of the New Jersey
Court of Eeeor and Appeals. David *
Montagnon. another occupant of the
car, suffered a fractured skull and ’
other injuries, which. It is said, de- ,
slroyed his reason. He is in a sani
tarium at Belle Meade, near Camden.
Tie was the conductor of the St. Louis
Symphony Orchestra and was also

tan Opera House. McGill escaped 4

took them for n “joy ride."

defense. He said that the accident ,
was due to no fault of his. He de
clared that he had a “blow out”
