Clergymen From All Over
the City Meet At St.
Lucy's to Discuss the Pro-
gress of Their High School
Petition
DELAY OF ACTION CENsURED
BOARD OF EDUcATEoNs FAIL
URE TO REACH 4 DECISION
CAUSES SOME INDIGNATION
BOARD CONSIDERING THE
PROPOSAL.

There YVES meeting of priests at St.
Lucy's R. c. rectory yesterday at which
the delay of the Board of Education to
accept the proposition of the Catholic
clerky of the citv that graduates of the
parochial schools enter the High School
on q certificate of rectors of parishes
was discussed. Such a petition was pre-
sented some time ago and no action has
as vet been taken by the Board of Edu-
cation. While nothing definitely could
be learned as to what took place at yes
terdays meeting of the Catholic clergy
it is known that the Board was by no
means praised for its present attitude.
Among those who attended the confer
ence were: Mgr. John A. Sheppard,
Rev. Father John Boylan, of st. Lucy's;
Rev. Charles c. Kelly, of Our Lady of
Grace Church, Hoboksn; the Rev. Father
Wall, of st. Boniface; the Rev. Father
Bpphy, of st. Paul of the Cross the
Rev. Patrick Smith. OF st. Johns; the
Rev. Father Ter Woert of st. Mary's;
the Rev. Father Ryan, of st. Bridget's;
the Rev Father Msehan, of All Saints,
and the Rev. Hofschneider, of Hoboken.
The apphca tion of the Catholic clergy
was made in December last and the old
Board, knowing that changes We're to be
made in the personnel of the Board. did
not feel it incumbent upon themselves to
tie up the new Board The new Board
met on the second Til in January
and referred the petition % joint COM
mittee composed of the members of the
Teachers Committee and the High
School Committee, appointed by the new
Board. The joint committee met last
Friday afternoon and sent out invita-
tions to the petitioning clergy to meet it
for discussion this afternoon The joint
committee does not consider that there is
any necessity foI haste IN the matter,
as no pupil can enter the High School
until next September. The committee is
studying the situation and apparently is
not inclined to accept the proposition that
any graduate of parochial school shall
be admitted to the High School on the
mere recommendation of a priest of the
parish. It is pointed out that New York
has Board of Regents and Boston a
Board of Supervisors who decide upon
such matters. No effort can possibly be
made to keep graduates of parochiaf
schools out of the public High School It
is only question of intellectual fitness.
At present the principal Of the High
School, himself a Catholic, decides upon
this matter.

Especial to ''The Jersey City News.'D I
TRENTON, Feb. is, 1906. The
three equal taxation bills which Assem-
blyman Harry Scoyel, of Camden, of
fered in the House have excited consid-
cradle comment among the sswise-acres"
who daily infest the corridors of the
State capitol during the legislative ses-
sion. An air of mystery surrounds the
bills and speculation is rife as to why
they We're introduced and for what pur-
pose.
The consensus of opinion seems to be
that the railroads were behind the three
bills and had caused their Introduction
as compromise measures. This was de-
MED. however, by one of the railroad
lawyers who is very prominent here just
at present. and who said that the rail
roads did not have any bill TO introduce
and would take no hand in the matter
" VAciiue any ANUtWitisctupuinS tHiS
statement, the rumor will NOT down that
the railroads have had "a hand IN the
formulation of the bills, even if they did
not actually cause their introduction.
An that Assemblyman Scovel will say
on the subject is that he offered the bills
in good faith, knowing that the Legisla-
ture was unable to agree upon any Of the
equal tax measures now introduced. He
intimated strongly that President Will
lam j. Bradley. of the Senate. was re-
sponsible for the Introduction of two
of the bills and that Speaker Samuel X.
Robbins. was the author of the third
These gentlemen. however. strenuously
denied that that they had any hand in
their drafting or knew anything of their
introduction.
It was also reported today that the
bills were drawn with the cognizance of
Governor Stokes, but he disclaimed all
knowledge of them. If the bills were
administration measures, it was stated,
they would have been given to Leader
Randolph Perkins TO introduce, unless
there was a split between the adlninistra-
tion and Mr.. Perkins, and Lon the surface
there appears no indication Of disruption.
Assemblyman Scovel is regarded rs the
chief lieutenant of David Baird, the Re
publican 'sboss" of Camden, and the lat
ter's name also figures in the mystery.
Mr.. Baird is. known to be the legislative
representative Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, and it is said that he caused the
bills to be drafted by Prosecutor Frank
T. Lloyd, of. Camden, who represented
the railroads at the equal tax hearings.
Mr.. Lloyd is one of Mr.. Baird proteges
and has been seen in Mr.. Scovel's COM
pany more than is usual during the past
three or four weeks.
If either Mr.. Baird or Mr.. Lloyd had
any hand in the bills they will not say.
In fact. thev disclaim all knowledge of
them and refer all inquirers to Mr. Scoyel
tor information.
