Special to the EVENING NEWS:

NEW BRUNSWICK, Feb. Ii
Mrs. Robert NJ. Claire, seventy years
old, of 104 Livingstone avenue, the
wife of retired leather merchant of
this city, killed herself yesterday af-
ternoon by hanging. The body was
discovered by a Mrs. Slate of Tot
tenville, S. l., who was visitor at
the home.
For some time past Mrs. Claire,
who was prominently connected with
the First Baptist church, of this city,
has not been in the best of health
and it is thought that she committed
suicide while temporarily demented.
Mrs. Claire was greatly worried over
the death of favorite sister and be-
cause of the failing eyesight of her
husband
A few days ago. in talking to DR..
Slack, of this place, Mrs. Claire said
that she was going to burn the house
down and talked as if she was not in
her right mind.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Claire
remarked that she was tired and was
going upstairs to lay down. When
her relatives and friends, who were
at the house, thought she remained
unusually long, it was decided to call
her. Mrs. Slate went upstairs and
in the attic she found the body of
Mrs. Claire with a rope around her
neck. The rope had been tied to one
of the rafters and it is supposed that
the unfortunate woman stood on
chair put the moose around her neck
and then kicked the chair away.

pipe line, but he was more than high
and after going over the bids which
were received some time ago, the
board decided to give the work to
John Quinlan, of South Amboy, who
bid thirty-four cents per foot on the
work and the contract was awarded
to him.
The main to be laid is an eight
inch pipe and it is estimated that it
will take about 5000 feet. At the
present time the water department
has about 1900 feet, so an additional
1,5O0 feet was ordered from NJ. ].

To Make Shoe.
A bid received from the Perth Am
boy Foundry company for the making
of shoe for the intake well at Run
yon, said that they would do the work
at ten cents pound. Schantz &
Eckert asked six cents. The matter
was referred to the committee of the
whole.
Superintendent Burns said that he
had looked into the petition of the
people who had asked that the main
be extended from Brighton avenue to
Madison avenue and he thought that
the matter should be attended to at
once, as Madison avenue was soon to
be paved. The superintendent also
suggested that it would be wise to
lay pipes through Jefferson street
from Madison avenue to New Bruins
wick avenue, before The work of paw
ing Madison avenue was started. He
thought that six-inch pipe would do
and was ordered to write to different
firms for bids on the pipe, as the de-
partment has not enough of this on
hand.
One Bid for Foundation.
Only one bid was received for the
putting in of the foundation of the
new boiler. 1t was from Henderson
Bros. They said that they would
unload the boiler from the car, put
up the foundation and place the boil
er in position for 1927 AS the boil
er cost only $l,400 the bid was con-
sidered rather high, and was laid
over until the committee of the whole
could look into it.
John Quinlan, of South Amboy,
who had in the only bid for the lay
ing of the new pipe for the suction
well at Runyon, was present and
wanted TO know if the board had de-
cided to do anything in regard to the
bid. He was told that he would have
to come down a couple of thousand
dollars.
The talkative representative of the
patent CRATE concern was on hand,
but was not allowed to get started.
He was told to be on hand at one of
the committee meetings of the board
Commissioner Clark was absent from
the meeting. Ex-Commissioner Jen-
sen was at the meeting, just to see
how things were going.

SEARCHING FOR THE BODY
Expert Diver win be Employed to
Find Body Of Circus Man.

Guthrie. o. T., Oct. 22.-Ex
pert divers will be employed by the
American Bill Posters association
in the effort to recover the body of
Hank Little6eld, a circus bill post
er in the Sells -Forepaugh circus,
who was drowned in the Cimarron
river at the time a Rock Island
train went through the bridge at
Dover some weeks ago. There were
FIVE men in the party Of which
Littleheid was a member. All were
in the smoker, in which the great
est loss of life occurred, and all sue
ceeded in getting out of the car.
One of the members of the party
crawled through the ventIlators of
the car and made his escape in
that way. The other four reached
the bank in safety, but Littlefeld
went down and his body has never
been recovered.
The Bill Posters association has
now levied an assessment OF 81 on
each of its members to pay for the
bringing of two expert divers here
from the Atlantic coast to search
for the body. On account of the
quicksands and the shifting bed of
the Cimarron, it is not considered
here that there is any probability
Of success in their efforts. In spite
of protests from public officials and
others, no effort has been made to
raise the wrecked smoker, in which
some fifteen or twenty people are
supposed to have perished.

VACCINATION COMPULSORY
City Board Of Health at MuskOgee
Passes a Stringent Order

Muskogee, Oct. 22 The city
board of health is working in the
Muskogee public schools now and
an order has been issued that
children who have not been vaccin-
ated must either do so at once or
be suspended within two weeks.
Yesterday the secretary of the
board of health conducted an ex-
animation at one of the schools and
found 81 pupils who had not been
vaccinated. The other schools are
now being examined.
In the government schools all
over the territory there is no auth
ority for any person to exercise .
sanitary supervision. The only
time that government official can
exercise supervision in such cases
is when contagious disease actual
ly breaks out in a school. Then
the supervisor of schools in that
nation may order the school
discontinued. This occurred last
year in one OF the Creek schools.

HOURS FOR
SCHOOL,
WERE CONSIDERED BY THE BOARD
THIS MORNING mo CHANGE
WAS MADE
FEW OPPOSED TO NEW PLAN
And The Change is Approved by
Many Situation was Thoroughly
canvassed by Board

The school board met this morn
ing and took up number OF
matters. among them the question
of change in school hours back to
the former plan as has been
suggested by several school patrors
Under the former system school
opened at 9 O'Clock and closed at
o'clock with a long intermission
at noon. Under the present plan
school opens at 9 o'clock and
closes at J O'Clock, with a thirty
minute intermission at noon The
recess period in the afternoon is
also reduced so that the time spent
by the children in the school room
is only ten minutes less than for
merly.
AT the meeting this morning the
members Of the board reported as
to the opposition expressed on the
new plan. No member of the
board had heard more than three
~ four persons object to it. Supt.
Staley was called npou for report
and be stated that Mr.. Wilson,
principal at the North Building,
had investigated and found only
four pupils who preferred the old
plan and among parents there were
perhaps a halt dozen or more.
About the same condition had been
found at the West and South
Bnildings. Mr.. Staley was satisfied
that the present plan was the bet-
ter system. Children received the
same instruction and they did not
wear themselves out with play at
the noon hour, thus uniting
themselves for study during the
afternoon. II also saved the child
rem from making two trips to the
buildings which was a point in
favor of the present plan especially
during bad weather. Under tie
OH plan about a fourth of the
pupils had brought their luncheon
to school and many children who
live near the buildings now go
home to dinner.
Members of the board reported
that more approval of the change
in hours than opposition to it had
been heard while the board was in
session, a prominent citizen
dropped in and gave his warm en-
dorsement Of it. The board dis
cussed he matter thoroughly and
it was the opinion that better re
suits could be obtained from the
present system and that was the
only object of the change. The
board appeared anxious, however,
to accommodate patrons, but. with |
no more opposition than has been /
expressed AID with the approval
of the change that comes from
many quarters did NOT feel dis
posed 10 make any further change.
AT the high school the hours are
from $40 to T2:4o, but the condi-
tion here is one that must be hand
led in the best way possible. 1t
is the opinion of the superin.
tendent and teachers, that it is
best to keep the pupils as few
hours as possible and allow
them TO prepare their lessons at
home. Under the existing con-
tract, the school cannot use the
library after p. N. The pupils
are advanced il their work and
can prepare their work at home.
