SCHOOL BOARD AGAIN !
/. DEADLOCK ON HEAT ING
Tie Vote on Motion to Award School
No. z Contract to N. S. Kellogg. !

The Board of Education again dis
cussed and took vote last night on
the question of the contract for re-
pairing the heating and sanitary sys-
TEN in school No 2. The vote was 3
to 3, the same as several months ago,
and the matter is as far from adjust
ment as ever.
The board disposed of several mat
ters of Importance and awarded the
contracts for repairing windows in
the schools and for a new tin roof for
school No 2.
President Walker said, just after
a motion had been made to adjourn,
that matter far more important
should be settled without delay,
namely the contract for repairs to the
heating and sanitaries at school No.
2, and that several hundred children
would be unable to go to school in
September if the board did not reach
an agreement.
Chairman Crowell, of the building
committee, said that he had brought
the matter up three times only to
have the effort fail, and that some
one else would have to do 1t this time.
Mr.. Crowell changed his mind, how
ever, after President Walker had said
few words, and motion of Mr..
Crowell's to award the contract to N.
S. Kellogg for $40 resulted in the
following vote Ayes, Messrs. Walk
er, Crowell and Peterson; nays;
Sturn, Moore and Massopust The
latter believe that the two bidders
who bid about twice as much as the
two who bid under 81 900 had re-
ceived different ideas as te-thee re
quirements.
After the vote-was taken President
Walker said that he'd like to know
what the members did want. Mr..
Massopust, of the fifth ward, said
that the school No. heating would
soon need attention, and Mr.. Moore
spoke of the furniture contract on
which the board is also split. Mr..
Walker said that, although those
matters are important, the heating
and sanitary question is of more inn
mediate importance, as those systems
had to go in before the building is
finished, when the furniture will be
needed. Mr.. Massopust just then
moved to adjourn and the motion
prevailed.

they do now. The last legislature
did not do as much for you as they
would have you suppose.
''But this is not the only principle
we are fighting for. We want you
to have a say as to who shall repre-
sent you in the United States senate.
1t is safe to say the two senators
from this state would not think of
standing for the nomination if the
people had a voice in their election" f"
Mr.. Record stirred up much enthu-
siasm and he was heartily applauded
when he finished.
Mayor Pagan was next introduced.
His personal appearance won him
strict attention. He made deep i'm
preston from the start. He told
of his fight in Jersey City and point
ed out that 1t was not matter of re-
publicans or democrats, it was mat
ter of honest citizens against corrup-
tion. To prove it he told of how, in
Jersey City, during his last cam
paign, both the republican and demo-
cratic bosses united to fight him.
They fought him because he was try
ing to do just what he had promised
the people of Jersey City he would
do.
1t is the same everywhere. declar-
ed the speaker. The bosses of both
parties join forces to defeat any in
dependent move for clean politics.
Record and Fagan left the hall al
8 o'clock, amid deafening applause
and the band played a patriotic Sc
lection.
John S. Gibson was then intro
duced. He went into the equal taxa
tion issue at length and revealed the
facts concerning that movement in
New Jersey In splendid way, tell
ling of its inception and the progress
made. and the hopes for the future,

ening to the hideous political condi-
tions in Essex county and the state
legislature and of the courage which
has marked it's every advance. He
told of meetings when the audience
numbered but six or eight and of the
indomitable will and unimpeachable
honesty of purpose which have char
acterized every action. ELECT such
men," he said "as Everett Colby and
Alexander Fordyce and you'll have
good government and the death of
bossism and the political death of
such men as Dory Strong. (Cheers. }
This fight is only just beginning but
to clean house, and we're going to
do it. Look what Mark Pagan, an
unlearned Irish youth, an undertake
er's assistant, did in Jersey City. He
reduced the local taxes by compelling
the railroads and other corporations
to bear their just burdens. To him,
more than any other man, is due the
progress made for the equal taxation
of railroad property"
Mr. Gibson then went into the
question of limited franchises and
told how the fight for good govern
ment has changed the attitude of the
Public Service Corporation from an
unwillingness to touch limited fran
chises with forty-foot pole to a
spirit of willingness to get on its
knees and beg for limited franchises
in all parts of the state. OF the Nor
ris canal abandonment bill, the no
torious steal attempted by the Le-
high Valley railroad, Mr.. Gibson
spoke conclusively and he asserted
that the worst kind of lobbying was
practiced and the partnership be-
tween the bosses and the corpora
tions was exposed to light in the
events surrounding IT. 1t was this
bill for which $500 per vote was al
legged to have been offered. and il

Mr.. Record wasted no time in get
ting at the real issues of the cam
paign. He began by telling of con,
ditions as he met them and how, when
an effort was made to remedy the
evils as they appeared the ring threw
out hindrances on every side.
Mr.. Record went into detail in de-
scribing the unequal taxation as be-
tween the individual and the corpor-
ations. He explained that when the
attention of the authorities was call
ed to 1t they said nothing could be
done and the first legislature prac-
tically did nothing.
1t was not until the second year
that the legislature, frightened by the
rising tide of popular Indignation
gave the subject of equal taxation
any serious thought.
''The machine men will tell you
everything has now been DONE. de-
clared Mr.. Record, 'They will say
that the last legislature passed an
equal tax bill and nothing is left for
the new movement. Wait and see.
An equal tax bill was passed at the
last legislature, but another bill was
also passed providing for county
board of equal taxation. This board
is under the control of the state board

A NEW liquor law will be intro
duced in the state Legislature next
winter, patterned after the Pennsyl-
vania law. Its projectors believe it
will be adopted. It will restrict the
number of saloons to be allowed in
places classified into two groups,
according topopulation permitting
one saloon to every 1000 inhabitants
in one class and one to every 500 in
the other. 1t proposes that licenses
be issued by the district court rath-
er than by councils and county
commissioners as now, and the
court will set the time OF public
hearing of applications and :remon-
etrances. Applications must be
signed by twelve, qualified electors,
must be fled at least three weeks
before time of hearing, and pub
lished three weeks ia two newspa-
:pers. The applicant must be a boni
tide resident Of the place where the
liquor is to be sold, and must be a
citizen Of the United States. He
must be the only one financially in
terested in the venture and must
not be interested in any other sa-
loon or. in the manufacture Of intox-
icating liquors outside the place
where the business IL loca ted. His
bondsnen must have no interest in

Oddities of Zoology.

Zoology has it's Oddities said John
Lover, the Zoo keeper, land that is why
I study it at night, after my regular
work is done.
There are insects that have their
ears on their legs, Others have ears on
their tails. AS for the eyes, well, they
may be found on the back, on the shell,
on the limbs, practically everywhere.
There are animals that lay two and
three different kinds of eggs and there
are eggs that each produce from two
to eight young.
There are insects whose blood flows
one way, for a while, the:. - .ariis and
flows the other way.
There are Siamese-twin animals
with two bodies perfectly united. There
are males that live in the outlets of
females. There are animals that COM
NIT suicide rather than be slain.
Altogether zoology is odd and inter-
esting. 1 would rather study it at
night than go to the play"

A Pertinent Question.

The late Captain Alfred Rice, noted
shad fisherman of the Delaware river
was no less remarkable for personal
cleanliness than for his unequaled
handling of the mile-long snad seine
Captain Rice insisted upon cleanli-
ness and neatness in his men. If new
man proved a sloven, he very soon
mended his ways under the captains
frank criticisms, or else he sought
another job.
There was new man, one shad sea-
son, who always wore a dirty white
shirt. In shad fishing it is best to
wear a black jersey. If, however, a
white shirt is chosen, there is no rea-
son why it should not be a clean one
So, at least, Captain Rice thought.
He stood his new mans dirty white
shirts for a month. Then. calling the
fisherman up to him, he said:
Friend, who the deuce is it that you
always get to wear your shirts the first
week for your
