the Traveller, and he paused at the
head Of the second flight and vainly
tried TO fan himself with Il soft alpine

He was somewhat sensitive in regard
to his weight, and so he made Il thin
excuse for this halt. pretending that he
had something to say to his companion,
a brown eyed girl in Il white dress

tered Gregory, AS the sailor said when
he dropped an anchor with no cable
fastened TO it,
There were other visitors in Church
Ills studio when Gregory and his couS-
in entered, and in the midst of them
stood the artist at his easel, hard ut
work. He was Il man of unmpreS~ive
appearance except for his air of ear
nestness. He had blue eyes and light
brown hair. clear skin and fairly
good tigure-altogether Il commonplace
young man whose looks did not give
the smallest suggestion of his ability
unless one happened to remember that
genius is the capacity for taking inf
mite pains" Churchill certainly had the
facial expression which would fit that
definition.
He did not lay down his palette when
Gregory introduced him to the coun-
try cousin and he seemed to take no
especial interest in her except at the
mention of the fact that she was an
artist. Then he looked at her Sympa-
thetically, as if Gregory had said that
she suffered from some chronic and
painful atlment. Immediately he re
turned to his work without offering an
apology, but for several minutes he
continued to converse with Gregory
and Miss Talbot, wandering ever far
Their away from them until his voice
seemed to become inaudible in the far
background Of the landscape on the
easel
Helen Talbot laughed softly all tie
way down the three flights Of stairs.

SCHOOL BOARD SAYS
LETTER ALL RIGHT.
At Meeting Last Night Mr.. Co|yer's
Opinion Of Local Contractors Was
U UpheId by the Board.

THE incident is closed as far as
the school board is concerned, un-
less the Building Trades Association
requests a meeting with the board. -
Such is the sentiment of the school
board regarding the heating contract
for school No. /. A motion to that
effect was carried, at an adjourned
meeting OF the Board of Education
last night. 1t was suggested by Sec
retary Colyer. President Walker
voiced his approval of the sugges-
ton and Commissioners Poulson,
chairman of the building committee,
kept the merry-go-round going by
making the motion, which was car
ried. This action followed a spirit
ed tilt.
Commissioner Sturn opened it
when he gave it as his opinion that
he did not think that the letter writ
ten to the builders by the secretary
OF the board was very nice in form.
No Competent Men.
Mr.. Walker retorted that the let
ter was alright in his opinion, and
he said: Il repeat that there is no
competent heating and ventilating
engineer in this city, and l am pre-
pared to prove it.
Commissioner Peterson another
member OF the building committee,
declared that the board acted right
ly when they awarded the contract
to N. S. Kellogg.
Mr.. Poulson then said some more
in the same strain.
Mr.. Sturn said that he saw on Mon
day night the original letter, which
was published in the NEWS Satur-
day. He asked if the board had
any communication from the build
ers. Mr.. Walker said that one had |

ers Determined to PreveIt

HAVE ANOTHER TRUMP.
MAY Also Send Petition to War
Department Calling Attention
to Marine Yard.

Residents of Madison avenue,
South First and Second streets, which
thoroughfares it is proposed to cross
with a railroad spur to j. II. Greg
ory's marine yard, are prepared to
go further if the street committee
of the Board Of Aldermen grant Mr..
Gregory the permission he seeks.
Plans are now being made TO get
out an injunction against the work,
if there is any likelihood of it be-
inc started. The committee OF cit.
liens will consult lawyer at once,
if permission is granted and tie up
the matter.
The residents are preparing to 40
further than this and will endeayor

tains who traverse the Raritan riV-
er in an effort to have a petition sent
to the war department declaring Mr
Gregory's yard a detriment to nav
igation and have it removed altho-
gether.
The citizens are inclined to be-
lieve, however, that MI Gregory
will not get the permission he asks
for and that will settle the whole
matter.

The discussion was growing warm
, er every minute when the secretary
made his suggestion that the Incl
dent be closed. The president said
that he thought it good one and
Mr.. Poulson made the motion to that
effect.
Commissioner Crowell was absent,

part whatever in the discussion.
High School Grounds.
Mr.. Poulson reported that the
best plan yet suggested for remedy
ing the high school grounds and wall
conditions was to add about a foot
to the height of the wall and fill the
opening now at the top of the
wall. Mr.. Peterson suggested that
the matter be referred to the build
ing committee with power to act.
and a motion to that end was made
and carried.
Mr. Poulson reported that the re-
pairs at school No. had been sat
isfactorily accomplished.
The building committee was en-
powered to have the needed repairs

ed. They comprise the floor in one

MONEY FOR
HIS FAMILY.
Commissioner Wight Says Con-
viCt's Labor Should Support
His Wife and Children. !

TRENTON, Aug. 23:-The New
Jersey State Federation of Labor
ended its annual session yesterday
after giving the authorities of the
New Jersey state prison clean bill
of health on the charge that more
than one hundred convicts are em-
ployed at any one trade in violation
of the contract labor laws of the
state. The federation appointed q
committee, which visited all the de-
partments of the prison.
The Rev. George B. Wight. WAC
was recently appointed Commission
of Charities and Corrections, addr&s-
sed the federation, advocating a neM
system of disposing of the product \
of convict labor. He said
l wish that when a man of family
is imprisoned the work that he does
in the institution might go for the
support of his family, which other
wise would have to be sent to the
almshouse and be supported by the
country. 1t seems like furnishing the
family more than the criminal under
the present system. II his family
were to be paid for the work he does
while confined the criminal would be
punished and, at the same time, the
family would not suffer.
The federation, which Monday de-
nounced Senator George l.. Shinn,
of Ocean county, as inimical to the
interests of organized labor, declar-
ed similar boycott on Assemblyman
William Pennington and Samuel f.
Wilson, of Essex county. The es-
pecial grievance was that the two
assemblymen had been instrumental
in holding up and defeating the bills
to license plumbers and stationary
engineers.
The following officers were elect
ed: president, Cornelius Ford, Ho-
boken; vice-presidents, Edward w.
Vineland, and Henry j.
Gottlob. of Newark; secretary, Thom-
rs J. Mead, Newark.
