Secretary Hays Comment.

Il have the honor to inclose herewith a
print of a communication dated June 16.
1902, to the United States ambassador at
London, from the trustees under the will
of the late Right Honorable Cecil John
Rhodes, with the provisions in the tesla
mentary dispositions of Mr. Rhodes relat-
ing TO the establishment Of scholarships at
Oxford of students from the British colo
MES and the United States
"A perusal of the paper will show that
the trustees are DESTROYS of making regu-
lations with regard to the method by which
quallhcatiCns of candidates are to be as
certa1ned and as to the examinations and
ofhcials having the control of educat ton in
the various states and territories.
Il commend the request TO your atten-
tive consideration and shall be pleased to
transmit to the trustees through the
United states embassy at London any COM
munication on the subject with which you
may favor me.
You will observe that it is the hope
OF the trustees that the students can be
elected In time to go into residence in Ok
FORD IN 1905, so that your early attention to
the matter is desirable"
The Letter to Mr.. Choate.

trustees of the will of the late Mr. c. ]
Rhodes. l send you an extract from his

Your excellency will note the qualifica-
tons which Mr.. Rhodes desired should be
sought for in the candidates. and his sug-
gestion that before election the trustees
should consult with the ministers having
the control of education in the various
colonies. states or territories to which his
dispositions apply.
THE trustees are DESTROYS of making
regulations with regard to the method by
which qualifications of candidates are to be
ascertained and to examina tons.
In Time for 1908.
They will. therefore, be obliged II YOU
will be so good as to bring the scholarship
provisions of Mr.. Rhodes will TO the notice
of your government with the request on
their behalf that the views of the chief Off
Gals having control of education in the
various states and territories of the Union

to the trustees If they could be furnished
through your kindness, with the opinion of
the leading educational authorities of the
United States. especially the heads of Har-
ward. Yale. Columbia and other univer-
of qualifying students and the best mode of
giving practical effect to the scholarship

Girl Accused Of Poisoning
Her Mother Released
From the County

Annie Thoms, the IA year old HobokeE

Court OF Special Eessions of attempting to
poison her mother with paris green, was
this morning released under suspension
of sentence by Judge zabriskie, who IS

Williamson has arranged for her to be

Annie and her twelve-year-old sister,
Lizzie. remarkably bright child for her
years, spent the greater part of the time
in the County Jail in the corridor outside
of their cell making dresses and under
clothing for themselves. When they were
brought to jail several months ago on the
awful charge of attempted matricide, the
children had no clothing except what they
wore, and that was in the most wretched
condition. Since their incarceration Mat

Despite the seriousness of the charge to
which they have confessed, no little in
terest was manifested in the girls by char
ftably inclined persons, and Mrs. Emily E.
Williamson, of the State Board of Chill

home for them in religious institution
for girls in New York State
Judge Blair. who was in a quandary as
to what to do with them, accepted the
offer and agreed to allow the children to
be handed over to the custody of Mrs.
Williamson. Annie was too old to be
admitted to the State Reformatory for
Girls and the Court was reluctant to send
her to State Prison. which was the only
alternative If some responsible person had
not offered to assume the care of the

WILL TRY AGAIN
Fagan's Cabinet to Attempt
to Straighten Out School
Law Middle.

A conference will be held at the office
of the Board Of Finance this afternoon on
the new school law and how it affects
Jersey City Those who have been III
vited to be present are the members Of
the Board Of Education Mayor Pagan,
Corporation Counsel Record, the Board
of Finance City Clerk O'Donnen, Comp
troller Hough and City Treasurer Ely
The Board of Education nor anyone else
is clear as to the position the city is in
under the law. No one is sure what au-
thority or rights the Board of Education
has There are as many opinions as tnele
are people who have studied the situation
but none are confident that they are
right. 1t is to try to find way out OIL
this muddle that today's conference is ,
be held.
President Jacob Ringle of the Board OF
Finance has always opposed the new law
1t provides for the appointment OF
Board of Estimate which will have. almost
absolute control over the educational de-
partment even to the finances. President
Ringle has held that such body would
be a corporation and be the establishment
of a corporation within the corporation
Of the city.
At meeting of the Board of Education
last week it was decided that perhaps the
best way to proceed would be to interpret
the law literally until some unsurmount-
able is met and to then refer the whole
matter to the courts.

QUEER LAW
QUEER FINANCE
Mr.. Hough's Opinion on the
Fire House Bond Law
Contradicted By
His Acts.
BONDS THAT He HAS SIGNED
Two in 1893 for Truck Houses
8 and 1.-The Statute
Probably Continuous.
BONDS THAT He HAS SIGNED
Two in 1893 for Truck Houses

The efforts of the Fagan administra-
tion to have the courts set aside the ap-
pointment of a company for Engine No.
IT, in Manning avenue, and its efforts to
prevent the construction of the fire house
have led to the charge that Comptroller
Hough is running his Office as an ad-
junct to the Beef Trust political ma
chine. His refusal to sign the bond Of
ST.. go appropriated by the last Board Of
Finance for the house is what led to this
charge The Comptroller sticks to his de-
cision and is now backed up by Corpora
.tion Counsel George L. Record. Nh
Record processes to interpret the law Of
1885, under which the appropriation was
made, as Mr.. Hough does. They hold that
the law exhausted itself after the first
appropriation made under it.
An appropriation was made in 1897 when
Mr.. Hough was Comptroller and he signed
the bond. He said he signed this bond
and no other Two other bonds were
signed later by Comptroller Jordan un-
der the act and they have never been
questioned.
Mr.. Records Interpretation Of the law
is regarded as peculiar in view of cir
cumstances developed this morning.
In 1889 law was passed authorizing the
issue of bonds in the sum of $1,000 for
Fire Department purposes, meaning tie
building of fire houses and the purchase
of plots. In 1898 another law was passed
making the sum 5000. Truck No. was
built under this act. Mr.. Hough signed
the bond. In 1888 there-was appropriated
$500 for the building of a house for
Truck No. 3. Mr. Hough signed that
bond also. 1t was found that this SUM
was not enough and the law of 1S)s was
passed raising the sum that could be ap-
propriated to 81. 900. There was a provis-
ion in that law that where sum had al
ready been appropriated it could be IN
creased to S12,000 The Board of Finance
added $1,000 to the 5000 for No. 8 Truck
under the law of 1895 and Mr. Hougn
signed the bond.
Tae first section of the law of 1885 is ex-
actly the same as that of 1898 except ,-iat
where 't$S, O00'' is specified in the earlier
law, $4,000 is printed in the later law.
A well known lawyer in speaking of the
laws this morning said
1.-THE laws of 1888 was always regarded
as continuous and the law of 1895 is with
out question continuous. 1t is nonsense
to say it exhausts itself after the first
bond issue made under it.

PLAINFIELD, April %, 1902.-The
Superior Court in Wiiliamsport, Pa, has
just sustained on appeal, the Judgment
entered upon the verdict of jury in the
Pangborn-Allen ejectment cases which
Mrs Louisa j. Perrine, of Plainfield,
caused to be instituted in that city
through her counsel, William III. Os-
borne, of Newark, and James O. Clark,
of Westfeldl The cases were tried in
Williamsport in March, 1901, and Great
ed considerable interest at the time.
Mrs. Perrine is the daughter and only
heir of Stephen Pangborn, who in 1868
married Sarah Giles, of Plainfeld, and
in 1864, after the birth Of the daughter
Louisa, left his family for parts un-
known. About 1867 one Winfield Scott
Allen appeared in Williamsport and en-
gagged in business, married and reared a
family of four children. In 1888, he was
accidentally shot while out hunting. He
had amassed a fortune as a pawnbroker
and keeper Of gun store, and died leav-
ing properties worth over 100000 in
Williamsport, besides some in PhiladeL
phia.
His family in Williamsport solo out

that Mrs. Perrine discovered that Ste
phen Pangborn and Winfield Scott Allen
were one and the same men, and she in
stituted inquiry through the late Judge
Mccormick, Of Elizabeth, without sue
cess. She afterwards retained her pres
ent counsel, aad her case was tried last
March, when about fifteen Rlain6eld wit
nesses We're produced in support of her
claim.
The jury gave a verdict for the entire
property, deciding that she was the only
issue of Pangborn-AlIen's only lawful
heir. The Reading Railroad is large

NEWARK AVENUE PAVEMENT

A delegation from the Board of TRADE
Yesterday waited on the Board OF street
and Water Commissioners just before the
regular meeting and urged the asphalting
of Newark avenue, between Warren
street and Jersey avenue. The conference
was private and lengthy one and the
matter was gone over thoroughly
The necessity of the proposed improve
ment was shown by the Board OF Trade
Committee very plainly, and was regarded
by the Stret and Water Commissioners
as a very good one, but no conclusion
was reached. The matter is under ad-
visement by the Board, however and
will be taken up at the next meeting. 1t
is unlikely that anything more than a
consideration of the question will engage
the Board There is not now enough
money in the Street and Water Board TO
do the work that is required at present
without any new schemes to eat UP
money.
There are several streets and sewers
that are now maintained by the portion
of the liquor license money that has
been regularly given the Street and wa
ter Board and it is feared that under the
new law that gives the Board of Finance
obsolute control over all moneys and the
right to give or withhold any sum they
see fit out of the liquor license money,
these streets and sewers will have to he
either completely abandoned or grossly
neglected With this situation confront
ing the Street and Water Commissioners
they are not quite able to see their way
clear to making new improvements of
such elaborate proportions.
The Commissioners talked the matter
over informally this morning and they all
found ti.at there were numberless obsta-
cIes that will be hard TO overcome.
