PHONES in SCHOOLS
MOVE TO install NEW
INSTRUMENTS.
School Committee Adopts Resolution for
Change-Crissey Sees Saving
of $500.

Commissioner Frank Crissey fntro-
duced a resolution at a meeting or
the textbook committee of the Board
J of Education last night to replace tno
Bell telephones with the Newark
phones in all of the schools, as ne
claimed it would save the city seoo
per year. The resolution was unani-
mously adopted. -
Commissioner Crissey said That the
with party line telephones, paying
therefor S24 per annum for each teie-
phone. were spending too much money
for telephone service. Under the pres
ent arrangement, 900 calls are allowed
annually. Nearly every school is
charged with a considerably greater
number when the bills come in, and
the difference heretofore has been made
up by the principals. who keep tabs
on the number of calls and collect toll
for those which are not matters of city
business.
AT Charlton Street School the bills for
the year aggregated $50, and a number
of out-of-town calls were reported. 1t
is said hat teachers and school chill
dren use the telephone for calling up
their friends, acquaintance and par
ents. The plan worked smoothly
enough until one teacher protested
against paying his quotd, which he
maintained was several dollars more
than it should have been.
The sixty-four schools in the city
are equipped with Bell telephones.
Commissioner Crissey's idea was to re-
place these sixty-four telephones with
those of another company operating in
.a-or 80, Tho hnpfC Of E1 IN r1anffhlTy
or SIS annually, for unlimited service.
This would be a saving Of % per cent.
on the present outlay.
1t was pointed out that the Bell tele-
phone was the one generally used in
the city, and that by cutting it out tele-
phone connection could not be secured
with the same number of subscribers.
Commissioner Crissey said:
THAT is just what we are driving at.
There is no necessity for the School
Boards having to furnish a convenience
for the use of every teacher and pupil
in the school. The telephones were
originally installed only for the pur-
pose of allowing the schools to COM
municate with the secretary and the
superintendent. We don want teach
ers n janitors, to say nothing or
pupils, calling up all over the city. and

the expense Of the Board of Education.
We will have the Newark phones put
in at the office of the secretary and SUI
perintendent, and the schools can COM
municate with those officials just the
same as heretofore
1t is thought, however, that a general
howl will go up If the finance commits

textbook committee and suggests TO
the board that the telephones DO
changed. The resolution will come be-

Board on Friday night.

Observation-Disclosures.

Joseph c. Miron, supported by an ex-
cellent company in ''Miss Camille is the

contents of the bundle include some good
voices Miron, the always popular basso.
as Miss Camille made a decided hit
with the audience and Is destined to be a
favorite during all his engagement. There
were some rough edges and a few slight
breaks were made, but this is due to- the
fact that the company was making its
first appearance before an audience yes-
terday afternoon. Two of the songs, 'Tf
You Love Me, Drink With Me, and 1T
Want to be a Gambling Man. were re-
sponsible for many eneores. 1t is really
an AL act and everybody ought to see 1t.
The two Meridith sisters, the singing
comedfehnes, who made ''Hiawatha'' fa-
nous, made n decided hit in their reper-
toire of songs in costume and were ac-
corded more than their share of applause.
They appeared first as Dutch milkmaids,
then as Spanish dancers and then as In
dian maidens, In the song Laughing
Water"
Johnnie Hyams and Miss Della McIn-
tyre, in their comedy sketch 1.-TWO Hun
dred Wives" created plenty of fun but
were handicapped for stage room. Miss
Mcintyre was best in her song For
Shame" AS Gretchen and Heinie they
both won a place in the hearts of the au-
dience.
Probably the most novel act seen on a
vaudeville stage in this city in some time
was that rendered by Rawson and June,
Australian boomerang throwers. They
both proved themselves clever in welding
the native wagons of that far-away land
and the way the boomerangs whistled
over the heads of the audience was wierd
indeed.
Carroll and Cook, comedians and parody
singers handed out a few new things in
the way Of song and sayings. and the
Walthour troupe of trick cyclists were
amusing.
Herbert's Canine Circus, while not up
to the standard of educated dogs seen re-
Gently on the local stage, was, neverthe-
less, good. One of the dogs appeared here
sixteen years ago and though now eigh-
teen years old and totally blind, does a
high dive just as Of old.
The Dankmar-Schille troupe of six
young acrobats brings the bill to a close.
They were well received. In it's entirety
the bill is a good one and destined TO at
tract crowds to the house during the en-
tire week.

FOOD FISH DIMINISHING.
Effort to Have State Control Supply to
Be Made.

TRENTON. oct. 22.-Dr. Louis Il.
Foulks, the Ocean County fish and game
warden. has sounded a note of warming
relative to the destruction of food fish by
not hunters and Fish hogs" He declares
mat many species of coast fish will soon
become extinct unless the State steps in
and takes measures for their protection
and preservation. DIR. Foulks is especially
Jealous in advocating State supervision of
the salt water fisheries within the juris-
diction of New Jersey, such as pounds,
purse nets and menhaden boats.
1t is believed that the new fish and game
commission, soon to be organized, with B..
c.. Kuser, of this city, as the head, will
take up this matter with the Legislature
and ask for the enactment of law to pro-
tect the fish and control the taking of
them from coast waters.

MANY INQUIRIES BEING

Local real estate agents are re-
ceiving many inquiries from Eastern
people In relation to the price of
land here and the advantages possess
ed by the Canon City district as a
place of residence, and the indications
are that there will be a larger immi-
grafton OF bona fide settlers in this
section during the coming spring and
summer than In any previous year.
There are several reasons for the
growth of interest In Colorado. and in
the Arkansas valley in particular.
among the residents of the older
states within the last few years, not
the least OF which is the advertising
they have received through the public

sane man named Joe Dougherty, who
was picked up at Vallie station, the
scene of the railroad wreck of the

learned of Dougherty and his antece-

he had gone there on Thursday to OBJ

day morning he became violently in

himself and those about him II was
necessary to overpower him and tie
him with ropes. Dougherty strongly
resisted. and despite his small stature

him before he was conquered. His

FIRE ON LINCOLN PARK

The residence of Mrs. Ida lie May
on Grand avenue, Lincoln Park, was
destroyed by fire at a. m. Wednesday
with all its contents. Mrs. Ida
lie May is a hardworking woman with
three children and is in Strengthened
circumstances. which renders the loss
more distressing than would otherwise
be the case. The children range in
age from babyhood to twelve years,
and are of no help to her in earning
aliying. She only moved into the
house destroyed yesterday and for
tunately saved few articles of cloth
ing which had not been transferred
from her former residence. A. E.

to help the unfortunate woman, and

endeavoring to raise fund for her
relief How the fire started is some

great deal of it is shipped to Kan

was after 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon when the first section of pas
senger train No. 2 reached here from
the West, but it was followed at in
tervals of fifteen minutes by three
others, the last one reaching here at
$40.
The trouble was caused by the rails
spreading, in consequence of which
nine cars of an extra east bound
freight train were thrown into the
ditch and the track torn up for con-
siderable distance. 1t was necessary
to construct a temporary road bed
around the wreckage in order to open
up the line for traffic. The delay was
very tedious to the passengers and
cost the company considerable in loss
of business. Although the day was an
exceedingly stormy, disagreeable one
here the weather was very pleasant
at the scene of the wreck, the sun
shining bright and warm most of the
time. The passengers were much as
tonished on arriving here to see the
ground covered with snow, as there
had been no precipitation west of Co.
