FIRE TRUCKS MIx-UP
Trolley Car and Tender Got
in the Way at Gregory
Street Blaze.

What might lave been a dangerous fire
had it not been for the prompt action Of
the fire department occurred yesterday
afternoon in 4 two story frame building
at No. IS Gregory street. The building Is
owned by Morrow & Day, the caterers.
1t is used as a stable.
People walking along Gregory street
about two O'Clock were surprised to see
smoke issuing from the windows on the
second floor of the building. Word was
carried to Police Captain Cody, who sent
in the alarm. Captain Cody and a squad
of the Gregory street police ran up the
block to the scene of the blaze. They
found a lot of straw in the loft ablaze.
The police then rushed down stairs and
took the horses that were in the stalls
in the lower floor to places of safety.
AS soon as the 1remen arrived, chemi-
cal fire extinguishers were brought into
play. The blaze was quickly extin-
guished. The building. however, was
filled with smoke for some time after the
fire was put out, and Chief Conway was
compelled to detail a fireman to watch
the place until nightfall.
While going to the fire Truck Com
pan No. 1 had a very narrow escape
from a collision with a trolley car at the
corner of Wayne and Grove street. The
car was filled with passengers. AS soon
as the motorman heard the changing of
the trucks gong he stopped short. The
truck was nearly upon the car. when by
almost s~uperhuman strength the driver
of the truck pulled up the horses and
swung them from the car tracks. The
rear wheels of the apparatus just
grazed the platform of the car. A slight
shock was felt but no damage was done.
When the truck reached the scene Of
the fire another mix up occurred. The
driver Of tender No. 1 was turning his
horse around. The front wheel became
cramped. The horses of the truck start
ed up and forced the tender horse to the
sidewalk. The animal did not lose its
footing, however. The truck had to be
pulled back before the animal could be
released from the uncomfortable position.
Another slight fire in the First Precinct
occurred about eleven o'clock last night
in the apartments of Mr.. Johnson, at No.
Bg Steuben street. The family reside on
the top floor of the four story frame
tenement. The blaze was caused by the
explosion of a lamp in the Kitchen. Very
little damage was done.

WHY THIS CHANGE?
Faganites Denounce a Ho-
boken School They Until
Recently Upheld.

President Offcrman and a m
from the Hoboken Commission Of Public
| Intruction visited the Common Council
last evening to discuss plans for the
| building of new School No. s. The con-
| ference. which was held in the Mayors
office. lasted about an hour and during
! tina time many interesting matters con-
corning the public schools of Hoboken IN
general were brought to light. Foremost
| among them was the expression of APP
prevail for School No. 5.
President Offerman characterized it as
the model school of Hoboken and spoke
in depreciative terms of School No. I.
The latter, he said, was to have cost the
city $4,000, but before it was completed
over $4,000 had to be expended.
Chairman Londrigan conceded with
President Offerman's views and said that
as long as he was a member of the coun-
Gil he would never sanction the building
of another school similar 20 No. Z.
The Chairman's remarks oceasioned
considerable surprise, as did also those
of Offermann. No. Z has in the past come
in for a deal of adverse criticism, but the
Councilmen and School Commissioners
! always took a firm stand for 1t. In the
recent Mayoralty contest the school was
made much of, the an~ti-Faganites claim
ing that it did not accommodate as many
pupils as School No. ), which cost less.
and that in general it was a ran job.
The Faganites were kept busy answer
ing this criticism. It can easily be under
stood why it caused such surprise when
after the election two boards supposed
to be so friendly with Mayor Pagan,
should come out openly and take sue a
stand. Certain Councilmen who publicly
praised the school SO highly during the
campaign were the most scathing in
their comments ON it last night and their
change of front puzzled and surprised not
a few.
President Offermann said that the best
location for the new school would be
south of Eighth street and west of Will
low avenue. This is the most densely
populated portion of Hoboken and more
school room is needed there badly.
Nothing definite respecting the proposed
new building was decided. The confer
ence adjourned to meet some time next
week.

?. R. RS STANDPIPE.
Mr.. McDermott Says the
City Must Connect the
Water at Once.

| The Street and Water Board at It's
meeting this afternoon will consider the
complaint made by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company last week. The rail-
road mpan complained that the city
refused to give it a connection with the
city water main for a stand pump because
the refused to pay for a water
meter and contended that the law was
that the city should pay for the meter.
The matter was referred to Corporation
Counsel McDermott, who has rendered an
| opinion that the city must connect the
pipe without delay. Clerk George Bonton
of the Street and Water Board said this
morning.
My understanding Of the matter is that
the aggrieved party must pay for the
meter. In other words. if the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company feels that the
price the city charges for water consumed
is unjust and has a meter put in to keep
tabs on the city, it must pay for the me-
ter. If, ON the contrary, the city puts
in the meter to measure the water. it
must bear the expense"
The opinion of Corporation Counsel Nc
Dermott is as follows
Inc FennSylNanla Railroad COM
pany, being about to erect a stand
pipe to obtain an additional supply
of water at their freight yard in Jer-
sey City, complain that the city re-
fused to furnish a meter or allow the
connection to be made unless payment
is made for two other meters used
by the company. The complaint is in
variance with the d~ecisionsAof the SUI
preme Court of this State, n l have
to advise you that you cannot make
paymen for meters a condition prece-
dent to the making of the requested
connection.
In the case of the Red Star Steam
ship Company VS.. Jersey City. 16
Vroom, D. 247, the Supreme Cour
said:-'A meter is a machine to
late the distribution of water by adj
justing the quantity and price. The
idea advanced in the argument in be-
half of the city was that the meter
was for the advantage of the con-
sumers. to protect themselves against
the overcharge of the Commissioners
and free TO examine records of the
quantity of water used. The only
duty of the consumer smoker of IN
the case is the payment of rent for
the use of the meter, and there Is
nowhere an intimation that the city
may without his consent supply fx-
lures for the distribution of the water
and charge him with the cost"
! have therefore to advise you that
permission should be given to the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company TO
to connect their standtpipes with the
public water supply.

MANUAL TRAINING
Mr.. Snyder Thinks It Should
Be Part Of Public School
Education.
WANT MORE KINDERGARTENS
Board of Education to Con
slider the Matter Later.

What do you think of instigating the
system of manual training in the public
schools of this city," asked 1.-THE News
reporter in the course of an interview
with Superintendent Henry Snyder this
morning.
II think most f~avorably of IT," coneiseiy
answered the Superintendent.
.eThen why not have it in the schools
Mr.. Snyder shrugged his shoulders wltn
that significance which means lack OF
funds.
1T is now three years, said he, "since
the Board has asked for an appropriation
for manual training
To the reporters query of WHY MT.
SNYDER answered tha there was no use
In asking for money for all these outside
things when the aim of the Board has
been to get every child of eligible age into
school. and every effort has been put
forth in that direction.
1--WE try to keep up to date continued
Mr.. Snyder. "but in the matter Of manuai
training we are behind
Mr.. Snyder further explained that ne
was in favor of manual training, not
because it taught a trade as a means OF
livelihood, but as a system of training TO
hand and eye, without which" said he,
''it has been claimed education is not
complete" This, he said, was due to the
fact that when the education was entire
ly mental there was not sufficient idea OF
skilled labor to make the mental training
practicable.
Manual training" continued the SUI
perintendent, 'sbrings the educated man
more in touch with the laborer and
teaches him to better deal with labor
questions. Through handling the tools
he grows to love them."
When asked if it would be necessary to
fit UP every school with the manual
training outfit, Mr.. Snyder said he
thought not. Such a room could be fitted
up in the more central schools, both up
and down town, and pupils from other
schools taken there at stated times dur
ing school hours. But" added he, I'VE
nave not the room at present. Every
available space is filled with class rooms.
ssWhat do you think of the prospect OF
kindergartens IN connection with the
schools?' was asked.
A present. answered the Superln-
tendent, "the prospect looks rather dun.
The Board has been refused its request
for an appropriation for more k~indergar-
dens, and when the Superintendent was
asked what that body intended to do, or
If it could do anything in the matter with
out more funds, he said he did not know
as the Board had not yet had time TO
discuss the matter. He further said more
k-indergartens were necessary, as the
city at present has but two that in
School No. 81 and the recent acquiition
from the Jersey City Free Kindergarten
Association. The kindergarten, he said.
was really the primary of the manual
training course.
