WISH BUILDERS HERE
WOULD FILE PLANS.

That the tenement house commits
sion is still at work in this city is
plainly indicated by the number of
uniformed men that are continually
seen watching the new buildings now
being erected. Although the inspec
tors refuse to talk on the subject, 1t
is understood that proceedings will be
started soon against a number of To-
cal builders.
The main cause of the trouble" said
one of the inspectors, "is that the
builders fail to file plans of their
buildings with us. If they would on
ly file plans, then we could correct
them before the buildings are erected.
Now we have to do the correcting af-
ter the houses are completed, or in
the course of erection 1t not only
makes trouble for us, but costs the
builders or owners much money"
Just when the State Tenement House
Department will complete the work
here, is not known, but it is said
that one or two of the inspectors will
visit this city frequently.

{. Harold Barnes
Dies from Kick
Of a Horse.
TEACHER IN A COLLEGE.

Never did the irony of fate more
forcibly demonstrate how fragile Is
the thread which binds our tenure on
life than in the case of e. Harold
Barnes, of this city, oldest son of MIR.
and Mrs. Edward W. Barnes, of 14f
High street, news of whose sad death
at far-off Beirut, in Asiatic Turkey,
where he taught in religious coll
lege, was received yesterday. A ca
blegram announcing that the young
man had been kicked by horse and
was in a precarious condition was
first received, and later came the
news of his death.
While in his Office in New York.
Mr.. E. w Barnes received a cable-
gram Wednesday afternoon from Bel

Harold Barnes kicked by horse.
Condition extremely grave. Bliss"
Mr.. Barnes was greatly alarmed
over the report, and received a gem
uine shock yesterday morning, when
the second cablegram arrived, as fol-
lows:
Barnes died this morning.

Mr.. Barnes telephoned to this city
at once, and as soon as the sad intel
ligence reached their friends, Mr. and
Mrs. Barnes and their family were
overwhelmed with heartfelt sympa-

E. Harold Barnes was born in
1882. From boy he was always very
studicus, and in 1900 graduated from
the local high school with nonors. In
September, 1900, he entered Lafay-
ette College, at Easton, Pa. After
four years of hard work, Mr.. Barnes
graduated with high honors, and was
valedictorian of his class.
After his graduation from Lafayette
Superintendent Shull offered Mr..

local high school. He was undecid-
ed, as he had received an offer to
teach in religious college at Beirut,
in Asiatic Turkey.
'hq offer to teach in Turkey was
n very alluring and he remarked
l.. the time;
Il want to teach where can do
my fellow man the most good"
In spite of all objections he accepts
ed the mission to Turkey. Mr..
Barnes left soon after, and in his LETT
ters to this city seemed perfectly sat-
isfied with his environment. The
college at Beirut is a religious 5chool
for converts from Mohammedanism,
and is conducted under the manages

ton.
Both cablegrams announcing Mr.
Barnes death were sent by President
Bliss, of the college at Beirut.
The body of Mr.. Barnes will be in

end of Cuba. and its vortex crossed
Sand Key and Key West, with winds
blowing at least seventy-two miles an
hour tipped the east coast of the PENN

passed northeastward through Florida

The weather bureau has ordered up

At Atlanta, GA, the Western Union

At Miami fully 100 houses were

Miami is about 300 miles south of
Jacksonville on the east coast, and it
is supposed the Cuban cyclone has
struck the place with full force.
All communication was cut off with
Havana at midnight, when this mes

land was cut off.
At st. Augustine, Fla, the tide reach

Opinion Of Perth AmbOyans on
Question Of School Board to
be Voted On.
VIEWS OF E X-MAYOR.
Former Mayor Seaman Docs Not Fa-
vOr AppOintive Boards As Rule
But Thinks Local Conditions
Should BE Remedied--W. ID. Xoor-
hees Favors Election on Separate
Day-Albert Leon Gives His Views.

f. With a view to sounding public
opinion on the question to be decided
by the voters at the coming election
as to whether the Board of Educa-
tion shall be elected. one from each
ward, as now, or whether it shall be
appointed by the mayor and consist
of nine members, the NEWS has OBJ
tained the following statements from
prominent local men:
Former Mayor Charles K. Seaman:
u do not believe in appointive
boards, as a rule, but | do think that
could appoint a better school board
than the present one. When | was
asked to take the nomination for
mayor my second term, | made an
agreement that the question of hav-
ing the board of school commissioners
appointed would be put before the
public, not because l wanted to ap-
point them, but so the issue would be
brought up. Although | do not be-
lieve in having the board appointed
by one official, it would do away with
deadlocks."
Mr.. Seaman added that he thought
the idea was a good one to bring be-
fore the people and hoped that they
would take advantage of the chance.
'If the board was appointed by a
good conscientious mayor, am sure
the people would be better satisfied, .
concluded the ex-mayor
Albert Leon, of the firm of Leon
& Roessler, who was delegate to
the republican congressional conven-
ton, said: 81 am in favor of having
the Board of Education named by
appointment ! firmly believe in bi-
partisan boards" said Mr. Leon, "and
/ think that the school board should
be composed of reliable. and educat-
ed men, men who would take an in
terest in the city's affairs, and men
who would act with Judgment. If
the mayor should make the appoint-
ments, and any of the members OF
the board should act unfairly. he
should request their removal. | am
a republican and | stand always for
everything that will benefit the city,
and | intend doing all | can TO see
the board appointed by the mayor. =
Mr.. Leon seemed very enthusiastic
over the subject, and said he hoped
the people would vote for the new
issue. with nine members on the
board" said Mr.. Leon, there would
be no deadlocks, and, while | have
always found the present commits
sioners courteous and affable, | favor
appointment. Mr.. Leon added that
he thought the excise board should
also be appointed by the mayor.
Water Commissioner and former
Comptroller William d. Voorhees,
II think the school board should be
elected by the people, not on election
day. but on another day set for the
purpose. In that way politics would
be left out of the matter" Mr.. Noor-
hees. however, favors the movement
to have the Board of Education
appointed by the mayor, and said
he thought it would be an excellent
plan.

PROVED no BE a SUCCESS.
High School Students Do Wen as
Thespians.

Plas-e in the high school period of
life have This great advantage over
their leaders when it comes to prancing
up and down stage .-efore an audience
that they have the beauty and fresh
ness which becomes that period and
which does not need the enhancement
of artificial means to bring about that
end. The young ladies who took part
in the staging of a Midsummer
Nights Dream by the senfor class of
the Ugh school, Friday and Saturday
of last week clearly had this advan-
tage.
The scattering few hundred who at
tended the matinee performance Satur-
tunes, stage settings above the average
and very adequate rendering of
classic comedy.
The leading character parts were Ia
ken by Edna CT over Edna Hopkins,
Josephine Bell, Corinne Coston. Roy
Funnel, Paul Thompson, Holmes
Meade, Clifford Nysrrom. Roland West
and Charles Gustafson, the latter who
is getting a start at a very tender age.
1 The play revolves on the complicated
love affairs of two young --thenians and
the situations which arise are too we'll
known to need any comment. The parts
of the two young Athenians were taken
by Roy Funnel and Paul Thompson,
while the parts f the maideEs with
whom they are in love were taken by
Miss Edna Grover and Miss Edn-4 Hop
kins. The work of Funnel and Thoms9-
SOL was sincere and convincing and
with the absence of ranting which so
usually besets created situations. Miss
Grover and Miss Hopkins were entirely
satisfactory and with very evident
training OF considerable extent.
All Of the other character parts were
well taken and occasioned favorable
comment
one OF the eatures of the two per-
formances was little Oh rles Gusfafson,
scarcely out of thu kindergarten who
took the character part of Puck. Prob
ably nothing has been seen on the am
ateur stage of late in Iii town which
