His Application for a

ALLAN HDERAOTT'S SURPRISE


Some surprise and disappointment was
oecasioned among officials and pc .iticians
az the City Hall yesterday and this morn
ing by the failures of the Supreme Court
to render a decision in The Street ard
Water Board controversy TIE decision
on the application for stay pending the
appeal was to be announced in Trenton
Yesterday, at the hour appoiated ard not
a single member of the Court was pres
ent and none appeared at any time dur
ing the day. No explanation fer the fail
ure was given, but it is understood that
when yesterday was fixed by The e. IT. it
had forgotten the fact that it was Good
Friday.
1t is not likely now that the Court will
meet before Tuesday or Wednesday and
whether it viii be ready to decide the
roint at issue is a question in view Of
Allan McDermott's application for re-
opening of the whole case.
Mr.. McDermott's move came as sur
prise not only to the administration fore
es but to the Democratic ID wysrs as well.
Not until the newspapers printed the fact
that Mr.. McDernott hal filed petition
asking the Supreme Court 10 reopen the
case was it known in Jssssey City. He
kept his own counsel in tie matter and
hrs friends are inclined t. the belief that
be has something ''up mis- sleeve" Prob
ably the persons most disappointed by
The Don-aotlon of the Supreme Court are
the swosm of Republican OF; ,,s seekers

be refusou and that the Pagan Board
would he Il. absolute control % t4is time.

JACKSON'S PIGEON VOTE

NEW BRUNSWICK, April 2, 1901
IF the committee on miscellaneous bus

special session of the legislature said
Senator William. Fl. G. Jackson, tho bill

mittee and submitted to the senate for

may choose to take
AS chairman of the committee, will
vote to report the bill favorably, but

probably vote against it. As far as my
own constituents are concerned, the only
expressions of opinion, have heard have
been hostile to the bill. nave received
from Middlesex county only a single re-
quest to vote for the bill, but have re-
ceived many letters urging me TO vote
against it."
Mr.. jackson said that he did not know
just what course would be taken in the
matter. He was uncertain whether it
would be held that tn the committee Of
which he was the chairman still had the
bill in hand or whether It would ave to-
be presented in the senate, do novo, and
case, he said, he was not sure that his
committee would be given the bill 10 con-
slider. Its reference to his committee at
the regular session was something of a
surprise to him, as the committee on re-
vision Of laws seemed to be the one which
logically would be vested with the re-
sponsibility of considering sucn bill.

Especial to .The Jersey city News

Especial to 'sThe Jersey City News.''l
TRENTON, April 2, 1904-Fiye of
the nine members of the late Board of
Managers of the State Home for Girls
have united in public endorsement of
the administration of Mrs. Myrtle B.
Eyler, whose resignation as superinten-
dent of the Girls Home was placed in
the Governors hands Wednesday with
the resignation of six of the teachers,
one of whom had served the school
twenty years, and Of the Rev. Clarence
A. Eyler, the clerk of the Home.
The endorsement reads as follows
Statements made by the press and
otherwise circulated for the purpose of
creating the impression that Mrs. Myrtle
B. Eyler, head of the State Home for
Girls for seven years past is not
proper person for that position, and re-
aliing the serious wrong that has been
uOue tHSItuy, we lcSl II Jul uuly W say
to the people of the State that her man
agement of the institution was at all
times intelligent and capable. 1t was
her constant endeavor to discharge her
difficult duties faithfully. The welfare
of each inmate of the Home was her
sole aim and purpose. She enjoyed the
confidence of the inmates to high de-
gree. They knew her and loved her
as their best friend and her efforts for
their improvement were untiring. In
the management of the Home she was
firm, but always kind, and preserved
order at all times to the best of her
ability.
Now that she has resigned the posi-
tion she has filled so long and well
we desire. and we deem it to be an act
of justice, to record our appreciation
of her services, and to express our en-
tire confidence in her capacity and
worth.
