TO DISCUSS RETIREMENT FUND
Meeting Of Teachers In Newark To-day
Entire State Represented.

The examination of the State teach
ers' retirement fund that is to be
made soon by committee of the State
Board of Education, with view to-
ward determining the future prospects
of the fund, will be discussed at a
rally of the New Jersey State Teach
er's Association being held in the
Normal and Training School at New

been for some time difference of
opinion over the management of the
fund between the teachers ana the
State Board of Education members in
the board of trustees will be inquired
into, and the reported action of the
State board in determining to examine
into the outlook for the retirement
fund will be talked over by the dele
gates.
When call for the rally was issued
some time ago the project was to dis
cuss the retirement fund situation
aud consider plans for future action.
Nearly every part of the State is re-
presented by delegate. At the meet
ing it is expected that attention will
be called to the law recently enacted
which provides that any teacher who
has taught forty consecutive years in
the same district shall be retired on
half salary, this is to be paid by the
municipality in which the teacher
lives.

Elizabeth Councilman Wants The Matter
Determined.

Councilman Bernard Higgins, of
Elizabeth, introduced a preamble and
resolution at a meeting of the council
there which set forth that whereas
81, 900 had been appropriated to exter-
inmate mosquitoes. and as such meas
ure might be in conflict with the state
game laws, and involve the city in
litigation with the State Society for
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the
Law Committee be directed to report
at the next meeting whether a mos
quito is bird or an animal.
There were various suggestions as
to the reference of the resolution. 1t
was suggested that it be referred to
the dog warden, special railroad and

JOHN DOE INDICTED.
Murderer of John Hunt Can Be Brought To
Trial As Soon AS Arrested.

New Brunswick, April 18.-It is
understood that John Doe has been
indicted by the Grand Jury for the
murder of John Hunt, of Newark.
Hunt was one of gang of three
tramps who quarrelled in saloon in
Highland Park. Hunt was shot by
one of his two companions, and died
from his wounds. In the dead man s
pockets were found a number of
watches that were identified by a
Hightstown 1eweller as having been
stolen from his place. Hunts ante
mortem statement supplied evidence
upon which the case was laid before
the grand jury. The indictment, it is
understood, has been found against
John Doe, SO that if the murderer is
ever apprehended he can be brought
to immediate trial.

a five foot gauge, while the Trenton

There are some great possibilities
in the proposed line. If it is operated

Of That Road Deny The RumOr-Entire
Route Said To Be Planned Great Pos
sIhiIItIss.

There may be more in the new
North Jersey traction merger than
appears on the surface. according to
reports, and one of the possibilities is
a through Zine from New eYork to
Philadelphia in which the Middlesex
and Somerset and Trenton New Bruins
wick Traction lines are mentioned as
part of the main line. For some time
past maps and prospectuses have been
quietly circulated in this State and
presumably in other States, under the
title of the New York & Philadelphia
Electric Railway.
Officials of the local company said
today that they had nothing to do
with the New York & Philadelphia
Electric Company except that this
line and the Trenton Brunswick line
were connecting lines on the route
from New York to Philadelphia.
They were not identified in any way
with them.
The route covered is that now occu-
pied by the North Jersey Street Rail-
way Company, from New York to
! Elizabeth, from Paterson and Cald-
yweH to Newark, and from the Oranges
to Newark, after which the line cross
esUnion and Middlesex counties direct

topmast stays are set up. The height
of the mast from the deck to the top
mast truck is said to be 159 feet, which
is five feet higher than that of the
Constitution. The double bobstays
give indication of great power and
strength. On the whole the rigging of

than that of the Constitution, which
is anchored a few hundred yards
