new HIGH SCHOOL.
Board of Education Awaits the
Action of the Finance
Board.

It was the intention of the members of
the Board of Education last night to
formally recommend to the Board of
Finance the purchase of either the Har-
rison or Van Reipen site for new High
school but being Informed that the Board
Of Finance had requested Corporation
Counsel McDermott to ascertain If any
statute existed by which the Board could
buv a site or issue bonds for such pur-
nose. the Board of Education took no ac-
tion.
President Mulvaney said that he was
anxious to have the new High School
question put into some form. That new
High School is needed, he said, no one
could deny. The only question, after the
Finance Board had found its power to is
sue bonds, was that of sites. Some of
the Board. he said. favored the Harri-
son estate and others the Van Reipen plot
on the Boulevard. Both sites were well
asapted. It would be the Boards duty
70 present these sites, leaving 1t to the,
Roard of Finance to determine which was
rhe better of the two.

OPEN SWITCH CAUSED COLLISION.

An open switch at Grand and Jersey
avenue was responsible for crash be-
tween two trolley cars of the Bayonne
line last evening. A broken fender and a
slight jarring of the passengers on both
cars were the only bad results Both cars
were moving slowly when the accident
occurred or more serious damage might
have been done. The motorman of the
southbound car evidently did not notice
the open switch until his car had swung
half way over on the north bound track.
It was then too late to avoid a collision
with the north bound car.

FIRE ALARM FIEND AT IT.

The fiend with a penchant for ringing
false fire alarms got in his work in the
Greenville section yesterday. Box No. 81,
at Bergen and Wooodlawn avenues, was
pulled at four P. NJ. yesterday. The local
companies promptly responded, but failed
to find either the blaze or the person who
pulled the box They were naturally In
dignant at being fooled and made diligent
search for the joker. Captain Nugent and
Detective Bennett are investigating.

TO STOP WATER WASTE
President MulVaney Ap-
points Committee to
Investigate School
Consumption.

It having been asserted by Chief En-
gineer Van Keuren that there is great
waste of water in the public schools the
Board of Education spent some time last
night in discussing that complaint. 1t
reached the Board by communication
from the Street and Water Board. Chief
Engineer Van Keuren sent the following
letter to the Board
we placed meters on the service pipes
of Schools Nos. and H. The consump-
ton of water in School No. is 75l,OOO
gallons per month and that in Schooi
No. 10, $4,000 gallons. 1t is only fair to
assume that the water is being used In
like manner in all school houses.
The automatic flush tanks are in opera
tion during the entire twenty-four hours
of the day, which is entirely unnecessary
The tanks in the school houses need
only be in use during the school hours
and should be cut off at night.
We cannot consistently endeavor to
prevent the waste of water by consumers
throughout the city while we the city
authorities are the principal offenders. A
notification from your Board to the Board
of Education to correct this evil would
PROBABLY result ia lAiC PAOPSi ASHieos.
President John J. Mulvaney, after some
consultation about the letter, at once ap-
pointed Directors Cullen, Tracy and Bird
sail to investigate and report. In dis
cussing this waste, Director ]. ]. Cullen
said
81 agree with the Chief Engineer that
there is no necessity to keep water run
ming all day long in our schools. During
school hours it is, of course, imperative.
1t will be our duty to save the water
as much as possible and under no circum-
stances permit any waste. We will make
it our duty to inform the janitors of the
schools that after the regular school
hours water must be shut off,

been alleged that she had married two
years ago a man named Kellaher Miss
Ryan has emphatically denied that she
is the person named in the newspaper
article printed few days ago, and the

action necessary.

States ASSEMBLED in conventions ION
the anniversary of the adoption OF
the Declaration Of Independence do
repffirm our faith in that immortal
proclamation and ofthe constitution,
framed in harmony Herewith by the
fathers of our republic
We hold, with the United States
supreme court, that the Declaration
of independence is the spirit OF our
government, OF which the constitu-
ton is the form and letter.
We declare again that all govern
ments instituted among men derive
their just powers from the consent of
the governed; that any government
not based upon the consent OF the
governed is tyranny, and that to
impose upon any people govern
ment of force is to substitute the
methods of imperialism for those Of
republic.
We hold that the constitution fol
lows the flag, and denounce the doc
trine that an executive or congress
deriving their existence and powers
from the constitution, can exercise
lawful authority beyond it or ii
violation of it.
We assert that no nation can long
indure half republic and half empire
and we warn the American people
that imperialism abroad will lea5
