by the epidemic of scarlet fever, in
which, so far as he was aware. there
was only one medical mans family
that contracted the disease, and there
was no reason to suppose In that case
that 1t was not caught in the ordinary
way. OF course, IL the regulations
meant necessarily that a medical man
would have TO go into quarantine,
something ought to be done TO get over
the difficulty.
DIR. Connolly pointed out that in
London medical men who attended
smallpox cases which were more in
fictitious than plague-were not quar-
antined, but were allowed TO go
abroad whenever they liked. or course,
very stringent precautions were taken
not to convey the disease TO the public.
He thought the public might feel quite
easy with regard to the doctors not
conveying the plague from place to
place. IN Sydney the health authorities
had not decided to quarantine medical
men.
DIR. Thompson was afraid that the
regulations, as they stood, applied as
much to medical men as they did TO
other people.
II was decided to refer the matter 10
the Crown Law Office for opinion as 20
whether any alteration of the regula-
tons was necessary 10 exempt medical
men

HOB0KEN SCHOOL CHANGES
Miss Allen One of the Princi-
pals Whose Salaries Were
Reduced.

The public schools opened in Hoboken
this morning Since they closed last
June the Commissioners of Public In
struction have made some of the most
radical changes known in the history of
the department.
Almost every principal in the city was
transferred from one school to another
The changes are by no means satisfactory
to all. Friends of the principals who have
been reduced in the ranks say that The
action of the Commissioners was intended
to humliate somebody.
Miss Elizabeth A. Allen, who was in
charge of the training school, was trans
ferred to No. 5. Her salary was reduced
from zoo to $1,000 per year Principal
Jeremiah Kelly was put in charge Of the
training school at an annual salary of
$1,000. His former salary was $1,700. Cor
nelius Brauer, principal of the High
School, was sent to No. q His salary was
reduced from $1,70o to S1,609
Principal Brauer had been in charge o1
the High School for eight years His
place was filled by Principal L. F. Talbot
of School Mo. 20, whose salary was raised
$10o
The commissioners explain that the
changes were made in order to drill the
principles in the various grades of their
work.

EYES BURNED OUT.
Molten Iron Flew in Sutton's
Face and Made Him
SightIess.

A horrible accident occurred to Phillip
Sutton, an employe of the Meserau Bed
stead Company of Lafayette, who lives
at No. 278 Johnston avenue about half
past nine o'clock this morning He was
pouring metal into casting frame and
the molten iron splashed up on his face,
burning both of his eyes in such a man
ner os to render him sightless It is
thought that both of his eyes are so
badly burned that he will be blind for
ever.
The entire working force of the foundry
was attracted by the screams of Sutton
when the metal flew into his eyes. He
dropped his ladle and the remaining iron
flew over the ground Sutton held his
hands to his face and groped around in a
pitiful manner.
Felolw workmen came to his assistance
and the Ambulance from the City Hospi-
tai was summoned The victim was hur-
ried to the City Hospital and Immediately
attended to by the doctors.
A similar accident occurred in the same
place about a year ago when a workman
had both of his eyes burned out

WILD GIRL CHASE.
Greenville Police Searched
for One Who Didn't
Exist.

Detective Bennett and the police of the
Ocean avenue station were led a merry
chase through Greenville Saturday night,
owing to a sensational story told by a
Chinaman, Charles Jong, who keeps two
laundries in Greenville. Jong remains in
his store on Gator avenue, near Old Ber-
gen Road, while two assistants run a
shop for him at No. 100 Linden avenue
Jong knows now that he has been robbed
by one of the men whom formerly he
trusted, but when he told his story to the
detective he had very different idea of
the case
The police are unable to learn the name
of Jong's guilty employe, who got away
with 81 in cash from the Linden avenue
shop. Jong says that his assistant came
to him Saturday afternoon and told him
that a young girl, about twelve years old,
had come into the store and demanded
IS of him, threatening to scream if he
didn't pay He said he gave her the
money and she left. The assistant even
went as far as to give a description of
the alleged girl.
Jong's second assistant told a story
that caused suspicion to rest on the first
Chinaman. According to this laundry
man, the assistant told him that the
girl deliberately came into the store and
going behind the counter took the money
from the drawer.
Jong now believes that the assistant
took all the money and skipped. The
police had a happy time of 1t, chasing
about for a girl answering the descrip-
ton given by the assistant. OF course
they were unsuccessful
