years atmospheric conditions could Be as
signed as causes for an epidemic of grip
but such IS not the case Just now. The
weather has been mild 1t is not only
epidemic but II is increasing all the time
IT is an epidemic for which no general
rules OF restraint can be laid down
Whether or not the grip is ontagious IS
q much mooted question, but the fact that
when one member of the family has it,
the rest generally do. would seem to in
dictate that certain forms of it are con-

a JUDGES PLAIN CHARGE.
Purchase of Votes and Long Branch
GanbIin. Denounced.

FREEHOLD. y. J.. Jan 9.-The grand
jury of the Monmouth County Courts con
yened yesterday fer The January term
George F. Kroehl. of Asbury Park is fore
man Justice J. Franklin Fort made z
remarkable charge, referring to the prey
alence of bribery of voters in the county
and the open existence Of gilded gambling
dens at Long Branch and elsewhere along
the coast. Gambling in Monmouth coun-
" has been repeatedly scored by other
justices in Monmouth county, but never
before in such direct and scathing Ian
gUage- The subject of bribery is also re
ferred to for the first time to a grand j. ry.
Justice Fort had carefully written out
his charge He said:
During the past few months the court
has received number of communications
alleging that there exists in this snunty
the most open and fragrant buying of votes
at elections The statutes make the hay
ing OF vote misdemeanor, punishable
by fine of S2,090 and five years in the
State prison, and the penalty IS sufficient
" light. All who engage in it or are par
ties 10 it by contribution of funds for that
purpose or otherwise, are equally guilty
There should be no temporiZing with this
crime.
If complaints are made before you es-
tabiished by satisfactory evidence yOa viii
perform public duty. by presenting in
dictmeEts in every case Both the bTibe-
giyer and the bribe-taker are criminals
of a class Who bring Teproach upon any
community and for whom condign punish
ment is none too severe.
Complaints have also come to the court
of the gambling dens. politely called
clubs. along the seacoast of this county
/ This class of crime exists largely during
! the summer season only. but that il then
exists is unquestioned- 1t is even attempt
ed 10 be justified, as it would appear, by
some. The court. however. desires to say
that the conducting OF such places IN this
State is criminal and punishable with
great severity, and the people OF this
State have so embodied it in our consei-
tuition that ii is impossible 10 lesalize it
by legislation
That such criminal practices thus Op-
emily and VIGOROUSLY exist in any locality
IS of course due TO the supineness, or
worse of the local police authorities

NO SCHOOLS CLOSED.
Pupils Not Unusually Affected by the
Prevailing Grip.


Owing to the prevalence Of grip in the
city and the closing of the Lovejoy School
Building for the purpose of rebuilding it,
report gained circulation this morning
that an epidemic had broken out in East
Washington The report stated that the
LOvejoy school had already been closed
on account OF the prevalence of grip
among the scholars, and that other
schools would probably be closed for TIE
same reason.
There is no truth IN the closing OF any
schools in the city on account of grip CT
any other disease. The contractor who is
IS TO rebuild the LOvejoy School is about
missioners notified the School Board to
vacate The building on Monday The heat
ers and boilers in the school buildings
throughout TIE city are undergoing in
spection, and in one or two cases the in
spector ordered repairs on the boilers
This accounts for the recent closing of
the buildings for few days during such
repairs
Prof. Stuart, Superintendent of Schools
for the city. said this morning that there
IS no greater irregularity in attendance
upon the schools than is usual IN JANUARY.
He said there is some sickness among the
pupils, but ne stated that there had been
no alarming reports of any kind He said
that while the grip was prevalent in the
city, he had not heard of many Of the
children being afflicted with it. So far as
closing any school on account of it. Mr.
Stuart said the thing had not even beer
under consideration.
