WANTED TO STEAL
A VINELAND GIRL.
Emma Veale Attacked by Two Men
Who Try to Get Her Into Closed
Carriage and Garry Her Off

Carriage and Carry Her Off
Vineland, N. j., Nov. 15.-Charles
M. Veale, superintendent of the Agri-
cultural Department of the New Jer-
sey Training School for Feeble Minded
Girls and Boys, lives in fine resi-
dence on Main avenue, nearly opposite
the training school, and has all his
mail left at the office of the institu-
tion. His daughter Emma, II years
old and pretty, often goes after the
mail. While returning home across
the street, from such an errand last
night, about an hour after dark, the
girl saw closed carriage attached to
a pair of horses standing in the middle
of the road.
Pardon me, young lady, can you
direct us the way to Millville?" asked
man within the carriage in low,
but very distinct voice.
"Why, certainly" replied Miss
Veale, as he stopped few feet from
the team. go straight ahead; Mill
vile is about six miles away"
Miss Veale started toward her home
and had about reached the sidewalk
when one of the men sprang from the
vehicle, seized her around the waist
and tried to carry her to the carriage,
at the same time exclaiming in
muffied voice: "We'll kill you if you
make an outcry. You've got to come
with us. Keep still and we won't
hurt you. -
Miss Veale, who is High School
girl, is strong and well-developed
and she screamed and kicked and
struggled with her assailant, who
was gradually dragging her toward the
team, while his companion held the
reins. The would-be kidnapper had
his hand over Miss Veale's mouth to
stifieher cries, but when the girl con-
tinued battling with him so bravely,
he had to withdraw his hand from
her mouth whereupon she screamed
at the top of her voice. Her last de-
spairing cry caused the door of her
home and that of nearby house to
open and a neighbor rushed toward
the road, followed by others. This
scared the would-be abductors, who
whipped up their horses and sped
away, leaving the young woman, re-
duced to a fainting condition lying in
the road.
When asked about her thrilling ex-
perience, Miss Veale said: Eyes, |
suppose it was narrow escape. /
was awfully frightened the moment
the man put his hand on me. Per-
haps that is the reason did not pay
any attention to his terrible threats.
l just kicked and hit him with my
fists, and bit his fingers, too I know
he must have some bruises on the
legs. " She could give only meagre
description of the men.

JERSEY SCHOOL
LAW rs VOID.
The Court Decides the Scbool.Law is
Bad Because of the Classifica
IiOn il Makes for it's Provisions:


Trenton, N. j., Nov. 15.-By a
unanimous vote the Court of Errors
and Appeals this afternoon declared
the Stokes School law to be unconsti-
tutional. This decision completely
upsets the entire school machinery of
the State, save in Jersey City, where
the authorities refused to accept the
provisions of the law. Clerk in Chan
Gerry Stokes, the father of the law,
Immediately he learned of the action
of the court, stated that prompt steps
would be taken to have the next Legis-
lature pass a law meeting the objec-
tion raised by the court and covering
the complete school machinery of the
State.
The Chief Justice says: "The act is
bad because of the classification it
makes. The classification ON which
that legislation is based consists in
classifying municipalities divided into
wards and another class of municipal
tiles not divided into wards. We
think this classification was vicious
and not sufficient, and that the act is,
therefore, unconstitutional. "
Both Clerk Stokes and Governor
VOORHEES, expressed great surprise at
the decision of the court, as especial
care had been taken in the drafting of
the law, and the Attorney General
had declared it to be constitutional in
every point.
4 1t is excepted that a majority of the
municipalities will continue to operate
their schools under the present plan
until the needed remedial legislation
is enacted. They can, however, go
back to the old schemes of manage
ment if they so elect, as the wiping
out of the Stokes measure serves to
revive the old laws. Senator Stokes
is authority for the statement that the
action of the court will not affect the
law of last winter, whereby $500, 600
was appropriated out of the State
funds for distribution among the local
school districts.

A Deserved Increase.

The increase in salary of Superin-
tendent Elwell, at the Hospital, to
$1,000 was entirely deserved. $500 is
not enough money for a superintend-
ent and matron. The engineer and
cook, or any male and female en-
ployee combined get more money than
that, and certainly the superintendent
and matron should not be the lowest
paid people in the institution. Supt.
El.7ell is qualified for the position,

ma for matron. The institution is

has not enough business OF his own to

one OF these forlorn knights who can
not find a lady that is anxious to be
carried back by Sancho Panza into

tensions which do not contain piano
or organ and Internationally through
out the days of the whole year the
keys are struck by irreverent people
who like the noise and are congenit-

the toy Of agreat many people who
care nothing for music but are en-.

her baby stick and tin pan. He
beats the pan with the identical ex-

beats the piano which has greater
variety Of tone than the pan Of his
babyhood, and. amuses him for a
longer time. After playing stiff

combinations that sound something
like what he has heard the village

discoveries are made one by one at
the expense of his neighbors who in
