Dr.. ". E. Ramsay Told Repre-
SentatiVeS of School and
Health Board.
MET GENERAL APPROVAL
President Walker Of the School Board
Says He Thinks there are D~lsadvanta-
ges but as a Whole He Approves the
Health Inspectors PIan--Was Outlined
In the News Yesterday.

The joint committee from the Board
of Health and the Board of Education
met at DR.. w. E. Ramsay's residence
last night and the best means Of COM
batting contagious diseases in the
public schools. were discussed. Dr.
Ramsay outlined his plan which was
favorably received by q majority of
the members. This system, as stated
in yesterdays News, is to have everv
case of contagious disease among the
pupils as reported by the inspector,
recorded on the school register and to
allow no one from the house in which
the sickness is located. to attend
school until the persons who had the
disease has fully recovered. 1t elm.
mates the systems Of quarantine and
placarding, to which DR.. Ramsay is
sternly opposed, and concerning which
he will issue a statement next week,
setting forth the reasons for his nom
approval of them.
The members of the committee free
ly voiced their sentiments in the
matter although no definite action
will be taken until after DE- Ramsay,a
-st~sement-sas been eeoeIv6N
Speaking with a News reporter, this
morning, President Walker, Of the
Board of Education, who is a member
of the Joint committee, said that
while he was not directly opposed to
the proposed plan for checking the
danger from virulent diseases, he did
see several loop holes IN the objections
to the quarantine and placard systems.
"The theory. that the cards on q
house draw curious children and
thereby add to the danger said Mr..
Walker, els true in this city because
that system has not been in vogue. If
it we're general, people could tell,
from the color OF the card, what
disease was in the house and also there
would be no novelty about it to attract
the curious. However, DR.. Ramsayis
plan is, l believe, a good one and his
report will be awaited with much in
terest."

With the Sailors Union
in New York Said to be
the Cause.
WHAT THE MATE SAYS.
Union and Some and Ship Owners Fighting
Each 0ther-0waers Object to Sailors
Dictatlon and Agree 10 Get their Own
Crews-Thus Far This Ship Has Been
Unable to do So.

The big four masted ship Henry J..
Smith, Captain John Adams, is tied
up at the dock of the United States
Wood Preserving Company and cannot
get away for the captain finds it i'm
possible to get a crew because Of some
trouble with the sailors union of New
York.
In the early part of the week when
the captain was ready to sail he
shipped a crew, but the union sent
delegates who persuaded them to
leave. In the middle of the week it
was the same way. This morning
Detective John Huff received a tele-
phone message from the Sailors Aid
Society of New York, saying that they
would have delegates here this norm
ing, and that they would try and per-
suade the sailors not to go on the
ship. but that no violence would be
used. When the sailors got to PERTH
Amboy they were met by the dele
gates, who easily persuaded them to
go back to New York. The mate Of
the ship, John Clark, told a News re-
porter the following story:
.Some time ago the ship owners
formed an organization and called
themselves the Shipowner Federation.
They agreed to furnish crews for their
own vessels because of the poor SER
vice given them by the Sailors Union.
Under that union, it was declared,
when q man gets ashore, he is given a
number and must not ship again until
he is told to 40 so, then, when q cap
tain wants a crew he must take the
fellows as they come in numbers, and
it does not make any difference as to
whether they have been at sea three
months or fifteen years.
"The work for a sailor is not over
brisk at the present time," declared
the mate, land the crews were SEEM
ingly willing to sign, and no trouble
would have occurred but for the
union"
The Henry J. Smith is to sail for
New York, but when, is the question.

Letter from MI. Quin Read at
Woodbridge Township Com
mittee Meeting.
BLUFF GAME.
Think the Company Is Playing for
Time In the Hope OF Getting an Easier
Committee Elected lin. the Spring-Mr.
Brown Urged an Immediate Ac-
ton.

At the meeting Of the township
committee of Woodbridge, last night,
called to give another hearing in re-
CARDS to the Elizabethport, Amboy
and Long Branch Railroad franchise,
the clerk, Irving Demarest, read a
letter from John Quin, the representa-
tive of the trolley company, in which
he said that the gentleman with whom
he was to consult in the matter, was
still very ill. Mr.. Quin requested that
the committeeman postpone the hear
ing until some time i'll February.
This was granted and the date set was
Thursday, February IL.
After the letter from Mr.. Quin had
been read, Charles Brown advised the
committeeman to take some action in
the matter. He thought it would be
advisable to have the franchise drawn
up and passed and then the traction
company could accept or refuse it.
"For while the company is holding
off," Mr.. Brown said, "others who
may want to come here will not do
so."
Mr.. Brown further said that he
thought this would be- the best way
out of it. The committeeman talked
it over and Mr.. Little said that if the
ordinance was drawn up and passed,
it would have to be published, and
this was thought to be an unnecessary
expense.
eff the gentleman is really sick, !"
said Mr.. Little. "as Mr.. Gum claims
he is, / do not think it would be just
to take action until he is we'll and l
am in favor of granting Mr.. GUMS
request"
Before the meeting opened last
night, in conversation with q News
reporter, one of the citizens of the
township said:
cit looks as if the trolley company
was trying to gain time and have the
hearings put off until after March,
when they expect that q new township
committee will be elected, and that
they will get an easier ordinance, but
every citizen i'll the township is sick
of the whole affair"

When seen this morning he said the

nothing to do with the matter, as the

will therefore not be represented along
