In School No. 1, in York street, the

chosen to be read at the public exercises

The feature of the programme was very
interesting talk on 'aTrees and Birds by

principal, having spent many years study
ing the practical side of tree planting.

be planted at No. 1. Other numbers on

SCHOOL NO. II.

School No. IL celebrated the day as
usual with an interesting programme of
recitation and song. In the morning a

noon. Recitations were given on 1.-THE

WANTS HIS MONEY BACK
Priest Asks the Court Of
Chancery to Declare
Deed Of Conveyance
to Housekeeper
Null and Void.

Rev. Father John e. Pallyakovich, of
Passaic City, was in Chancery Chambers
this morning looking the picture of de-
spair. He called to his mind over and
over again the lines about woman and
frailty being synonymous terms, and
vowed that never again would he trust
one.
The reverend gentleman, who is very
stout and advanced in years, made some
time ago the acquaintance of one Maria
Gertz. She practiced midwifery in Passaic
and brought great number of young
ones to him to be christened. She after
wards became his housekeeper. Last
year he determined to leave the active
ranks of priesthood and having saved a
few thousand dollars made a proposition
to Maria. 1t was this: He agreed to deed
to her his property, worth about S4,700,
and in return she was to keep him for
the remainder of his days and give him
a decent burial. She assented to this and
on January last the deed was executed.
What happened after Maria took pos
session is contained in the petition which
Rev. Father Pallyokovich presented
through his counsel, G. A. Bince, this
morning, to Vice Chancellor Pitney
Mrs. Gerts allowed the clergyman to
live in his former home for a few weeks,
and then unceremoniously turned him out
subjecting him to series of petty annoy
ances and abusing him to the neighbors.
Homeless, without penny or a parish
he now asks that the Court of Chancery
shall declare that deed null and void be-
cause it was obtained by fraud and
dureSS

ROW IN "NleeER" SALOON
Colored Gsmmen Arouse the Neigh
borhood With Cries of Murder.

Cries of Murder and Police about
half-past one Sunday morning in the
neighborhood of Jackson avenue and
Forrest street, startled that sleepy COM
munity. Someone yelled that murder was
being done in T. E. Bells saloon at No.
422 Jackson avenue Mr.. Bell is a colored
gemman and those who were roughing it
in the saloon were also colored gemmen.
Patrolman Ernst and Chanceman Lock-
wood were on the scene in a few munites
The two went into the rear room of the
saloon 1t resembled slaughter house.
Blood in large pools covered tables and
dripped on the floor Three broken bill
lard cues, broken glasses and overturned
chairs bore evidence to the fact that
something had been doing. Several ne
groee were walking about with their
hands plunged deep in their pockets muir
muring something about killing being
too good for him. Him" was a burly
negro, six feet tall. Him was behind
the bar getting a bath and removing some
blood-soaked garments. Two big cuts on
the forehead and temple told the tale.
The burly negro, whose name could not
be learned, just happened to drop in the
saloon for quiet game of cards for
drinks. He was told that the drinks were
upon him. Thereupon he pulled a billy
and declared himself. A room full of
''niggers'' was not too many for
him to lick if they would please
step up one at time. Without
waiting for someone to walk up and be
licked, he made for fellow named Gray.
Gray went down and out when that billy
landed hehind fhe right ear
No one appears to know what happened
after that. When the noise had ceased
and the debris had been cleared away.
the burly "nigger' emerged from the
storm perfect wreck. Covered with
blood, he staggered for the bar to get
washed.
Proprietor Bell refused to make any
complaint at the station house and the
burly niger" said he did not know who
hit him.

WOULDN'T DISCLOSE THE FORMULA
Interesting Fight Over the Prepara-
tion of Bloomfield Druggist.

A suit interesting to druggists came up
before Vice Chancellor Pitney this morn
ing in Chancery Chambers. 1t was
brought by Mrs. ]. B. Shirk, of Bloom
field, to compel w. B. Troeber, of the
same place, by mandatory injunction, to
disclose to her formula for a compound
known as hydriodic acid, which claimed
to cure all the ills that flesh was heir to.
Many years ago j. B. Shirk, druggist,
of Bloomfield, manufactured the stuff,
which, however he didn't patent. He is
now insane and confined at Morris Plains.
His wife was appointed executrix of his
estate. She sold the pharmacy business to
New York man named Rich for $500.
He paid $500 in cash and promised the
balance in check when he received the
formula. Here, however, was the diff
Guilty Shirk's clerk. Troeber, had be-
come acquainted with the secret and re-
fused to give it up to Mrs. Shirk unless
she gave him $1,000. These facts were
told to Vice Chancellor Pitney when the
application to enjoin Troeber was heard.
On the part of Troeber it was stated
that the formula was not a secret one
and was in the U. S. Pharmacopeia and
known to every druggist.
In order that both sides could furnish
supplemental affidavits the Vice Chancel-
lor continued the application for one

NEWARK'S HARD LUCK
Both Turnpike and Plank
Road Closed to
Traffic.

The draw of the Newark turnpike over
the Hackensack has broken down and
can only be moved with a block and fall
and can be opened but one way The
damage, it is said, was caused by the
heavy traffic diverted over the turnpike
since the closing of the plank road. 1t
is questionable whether the necessary re-
pairs can be made without closing the
bridge and if it is closed all traffic with
Newark and West Hudson towns either
by trolley or wagon will have to be sus-
pended
Freeholder George w. Caparn, chair
man of the North Bridge Committee, said
to News reporter this morning.
The situation at the turnpike bridge
over the Hackensack is really serious,
but we hope to make the necessary re-
pairs without closing the bridge to traffic.
The draw cannot be opened in the regular
way owing to the breakage of several
castings on which it revolves. I have
placed extra men at work and with block
and fall they have thus far managed to
open. and d. close the draw, but only with
great difficulty.
Traffic over the bridge is necessarily
delayed by this arrangement and will be
until the repairs can be made, but that
condition cannot be avoided New cast
ings for the broken parts have been or
dered and will be supplied as speedily as
possible. If nothing more serious happens
we will be able to continue opening and
closing the draw, but if it does we will
certainly be obliged to shut down.
The damage to the draw was undoubt-
edly caused by the heavy traffic over the
Road, and it is evident that the turnpike
bridge is not sufficiently strong to main
tain this heavy traffic."
A special meeting of the Committee on
North Bridges of the Hudson County
Board of Freeholders will be held on
Wednesday to consider the matter.

dren came so near getting him into se-
rious trouble Friday afternoon, when an
irresponsible mob raised a cry of kid

to the appointment of such Directors
under which the Mayor is still acting. If
the Meeker act applied to the Board Of

under the opinion of Attorney General

ARBOR DAY.
Tree Planting and Appro-
pirate Exercises Today
in All the Schools.
NO. rs GIFT TO new PARK
Twenty-six Tress to Form
Linsley Avenue-No. e's
Part in Dedication.

Arbor Day was celebrated in all the
public schools throughout the city today
with something more than the ordinary
enthusiasm, for which to a great extent,
if not wholly, the creation of the two
new parks is responsible. Then, too
the weather has been most favorable, and
perhaps it is just as well that the day
was set later than usual Otherwise it
would probably have been too wet with
out umbrellas.
OF course the Little Italy Park
was the feature of the day, and
Schools Nos / and 9 sent delegates
to represent them. Both had an especial
interest, and School No. 8 played a most
important part with its well trained
cadet corps, led by its Sousa Band, and
its dedication exercises over the No. 8
trees planted.
School No. l also sent trees, twenty-slx,
to form an avenue to be called Linsley
avenue after Principal Linsley, who has
been principal of School No. for the
past fifty years 1t was a disappointment
to many that Mr.. Linsley modestly de-
clined to be present. Miss Ennis, Miss
Horsley and Miss Root represented the
school, as it was through their efforts
that No. sent the trees. Mr.. Linsley had
nothing whatever to do with the matter
and was much surprised, and naturally
pleased, upon learning the honor to be
conferred upon him.
