MISS ALIENS FOES.
Teachers Will Seek to Wrest
Control of the Retirement
Fund From Her.

That there will be startling disclosures
in regard to the Teachers retirement
fund at the annual meeting Of the New
Jersey State Teachers Association next
week in Trenton, is not only predicted by
Essex County teachers, but also by those
of Plainfield and other cities in this
State. The Plainfeld teachers will flock
to the meeting, and it is said that it is
their desire to wrest not only the control
of the fund from Miss Elizabeth A. Allen
of Hoboken, who is general secretary,
but also exercised over the association.
Miss Aliens control of matters aroused
the ire Of many of the members some
time ago, and caused them to resign from
the association. 1t is the unanimous
opinion of the Plainfield teachers that
the association should be conducted for
the benefit of the teachers and be entire
" educational in its aim.
1t has been asserted by these educators
that Miss Allen has done more harm than
good to the Teachers Retirement Fund
because of her arbitrary attitude, and
that her desire to remain absolutely in
control has been detrimental to the in
terests of public school teachers through

NEW ZEALAND WILL PR0BATED
Chancellor Magic, Admits Exemp-
lified Copy From Auckland.


Unprecedented for many years in the
courts Of New Jersey is a case just de-
cided in the Prerogative Court. 1t is
that of the admission to probate in this
State of the exemplifed copy of will
made in Auckland, New Zealand.
The original will is that of Robert
Millington Hilton. formerly of this State,
who died in Auckland in 1899. Included
III the property disposed of by testament
was judgment secured by Hilton
against Heller Brothers of Newark.
This judgment Joseph Napier, of Auck-
land, executor of the will, assigned to
one Lucius S. Beers.
Heller Brothers refused to pay the
Judgment unless they could be satisfied
that they might not be called upon to
pay it the second time. In order to
give them his guarantee, the exemplified
copy of the will was made, forwarded
from New Zealand to this State and
the application formally made for its
admission to probate here. Chancellor
Magic. acting as ordinary of the Prsroga-
tive Court, has granted the application
The copy is an exact reproduction Of
the original viii and is engrossed by

Architect Rowland, after reporting
somewhat slow progress on the work Of
the various extensions and the new High
School on account of the weather, re-
piled to a criticism Of the mason work
of No, % School extension, published in
local paper, in which it was stated
that a stone could be thrown between
the window frames and linteIs of the
mason work Mr.. Rowland admitted
that the window frames were too small,
.but said it was the fault of the carpenter
who would naturally rectify mistake
in specifications. and that the cost would
be trifiing, matter of about four dol
lars. He declared that there was moth
ing the matter with the mason work, al
though the article in question was an
effort to hit at his (dr. Rowland's)
father, the contractor for the mason
work. He submitted reports from the
carpenter contractor and an expert archi-
teet, who examined the. building at his
solicitation in support of his contentious.
Director Tully said that he had exam
ined the work and was accompanied by
an outside contractor, who agreed there
was nothing the matter with the mason
work complained of.

new TRIAL FOR
PETER ECKHOFF
Prisoner Found Guilty by
Coin Tossing to Have
Another Chance.
TWO JURORS TESTIFY TODAY
Wolf and Terwilliger Describe
the Method by Which the
Verdict Was Reached

But tive of the jurors who tossed a
coin to decide upon the conviction or ac-
quittal of Peter Eckhoff, of Sussex street,
on charge preferred by Annie Cobbach,
of Morris street, last Saturday showed
up in the First Criminal Court this morn
ing, when the application for new trial
by Lawyer James Donelan in behalf of
Eckhoff was to be heard. These two jur-
ors We're Philip Wolf, the Newark ave-
nue. merchant, who first suggested the
drawing of straws to decide on a verdict,
and who had stood out for conviction of
the defendant, and Allen Terwilliger, of
No. 1461a Union street, who stood for
verdict of acquittal.
There was to have been an investiga-
tion of the coin tossing affair. Surprise
was expressed that Juror Bernard J.
King, who made the affidavit concerning
the tossing of the coin. presented by Law
yer Donelan on Monday was not present.
Wolf this morning admitted that at
the time of his proposal to draw straws
the jury stood 9 to for acquittal of the
defendant and that the jury at one time
stood 10 to 2 in favor Of verdict Of ac-
quittal. At one time during his state
ment this morning Wolf intimated that
the vote stood IL to / in favor of acquit-
tai, but he was evidently somewhat
mixed when this intimation was thrown
out. He bore out Kings statement in
his affidavit that Foreman Hancock sug-
gested the tossing of a coin as being more
digniied than drawing straws. Juror
Allen Terwilliger, who, by the way.is.
former policeman, in the main corrobor-
atel Wolf.
Assistant City Attorney Isaac F. Col
denhorn, was present in the interest of
the city. When Lawyer Donelan sub
mitted Kings aftidavits in his application
for new trial Mr. Goldenhorn admitted
that the coin tossing episode should be
investigated.
On the face of matters Police Justice
Higgins granted Lawyer Donelan's ap-
plication for new trial of Eckhoff and
the new trial was set down for next Wed-A
nesday.
An effort will be made to have all the
accused jurors in the court next Friday
for an investigation of Kings affidavit.
Efforts were made yesterday to serve no
tice on them to appear in court this morn
ing, but only two of them could be found
It is not customary to take the addresses
of jurors in such cases. They are Sc
lected from most any one who is willing
to serve and in the case in question
number of them were selected from the
lobby in attendance when the case was
called in the First Criminal Court last
Saturday. The lobby is usually COM
posed of idle spectators who go there to
be entertained by stories of crime, and
thus pass away time. Often number
of hoboes are empaneled on such juries.
The pay is only a quarter apiece, no
matter how long jury wrangles.

tension Mason Work.
