AIIofthe Members
Finally Attend
a Meeting.
PAY SOME BILLS
President CrOWelI Starts to Roast
Local Press for Referring to
"CrOWeII Faction" but He
is SidetraCked by CON-
missioner Bradley.

After two unsuccessful attempts to
hold a special meeting in order to
pay a number of bills, every mem
ber of the Board of Education was
present at the special meeting last
night for that purpose.
The various bills were read and or
dered paid except the bill presented
by d. Wolff & Company for-the fur
niture in school No 2, which was de-
clared to be incomplete. This bill
was ordered paid upon the compile
ton of the work Members of the
board have visited the school and
found that six desk backs recently
placed In that school by D. Wolff &
Company we're one-quarter of an inch
too low, and will have to be replaced.
The contract Is now and old one and
the commissioners said it should
nave been finished long ago. Another
delay Is probably due while the new
backs are being sent for.
Among the bills ordered paid last
night was the large Leon & Roessler
contract in which they have supplied
IuG dAO iii uSoitOot
the new addition to No. school,
some furniture in the high school
and furniture in the teachers rooms
of schools Ne. /, and T. This was
large contract and involves about
$4,000. The work has all been COM
pleted and the bills ordered paid. A
bill from Leon & Roessler for school
furniture presented at the last meet
ing, which was approved and order
ed paid was returned by the city's
comptroller on account of lack of
funds In the furniture account At
the meeting last night the board
passed resolution that the bill
might be paid out of the incidental
account.
President Baked at Faction"
Immediately after the bills had
been disposed of President Crowell
arose and started to speak about flu
ent newspaper talk from local pa
pers, particularly on the "Crowell
faction" Mr.. Crowell was inter-
rupted by Commissioner Bradley and
told several times to stop, as a meet
ing was not the place to discuss such
matters. President Crowell stopped
at the word faction" and took his
seat. AS no other business except
the paying of bills was to come up at
this meeting, the board adjourned.
After the meeting some of the mem
bers of the board remained and Mr..
Crowell then expressed his views on
local newspapers.

italian Baker Held on Charges
Preferred by William POllins
Prisoner Makes Denial
A PAssERsy STAYED HIS ARM.
PolIins Declared That Cappacione
Had Continually Insulted His Wife
and That He Also Addressed In
suits TO Him When They Met on
the Street-Cappacione Said that
He Merely Drew Bunch of heys.

John Cappacione, thirty-four years
old, proprietor of bakery at 249
Washington street, was arrested last
night and arraigned before Recorder
Pickersgili this morning on charge
of threatening to kill William Pol
Inns, of 507 state street.
Pollins said that every time Cap
pocione sees his wife on the street he
insults her. Yesterday Cappacione
saw Pollins on the street and, ac-
cording to the complainant's story,
made a number of insolent remarks
to him. Mr.. Pollins said that he told
the baker not to speak that way or
there would be trouble He further
charged that Cappacione, after a
few more remarks, drew revolver
and pointed it at him. His arm, how
ever, was grasped in time by Elisio
Ricci, who happened to be passing.
Polilns had two witnesses to swear
to the truth of his statements and,
upon their evidence, Cappacione was
held under $500 bonds to await the
action of the grand jury. The de-
fendant denied that he had pulled a
revolver on Pollins and said that 1t
was only bunch of keys that he had
taken from his pocket to scare the
complainant.
A bondsman appeared at police
court later and the prisoner was re-
leased.

by Mr.. Delmas, Mrs. Thaw said she

cried as she continued to speak of the
change in her son following his trip
to Europe with Evelyn in 1903.
Mrs. Thaw. after recovering from
her first breakdown. seemed about to

That was all Mr.. Delmas ended her
testimony abruptly. The district attor-

John Kovacz, thirty-two years old,
a Hungarian laborer, was arrested
yesterday afternoon by Patrolmen
Wood and McDermott and Detective
Huff at Smith street and Fox Hill
road, where he was found lying in a
small shed with two axes lying be-
side him.
Kovacz had become intoxicated
earlier in the afternoon and when he
met Daniel Chehi, who lives in the
brick house on Herbert street, the
latter says he attacked him with a
large club and rendered him insensi-
BILE. A witness to the occurrence
telephoned to the police station and
Patrolman John Wood was sent to
arrest the man. When the police
man found Kovacz he was apparently
asleep in a shed in the rear of his
home. Patrolman Wood tried to
arouse MIN but in spite of his efforts
the man could not be moved. The pa
troll wagon was sent for and with
Detective Huff and Patrolman Nc
Dermott, was quickly on the scene.

patrol wagon.
The injured man was carried in
the ambulance from his home, where
he had been removed, and was taken
to the Office of DR.. G.. w. Tyrrell on
State street, where his wounds were
dressed. Luckily Chehi's head was
not broken and, in spite of the severe
beating, he was able to appear against
his assailant at police court this
morning Chehi told the recorder
that he was coming home from Pen
fields factory, where he had been
working yesterday when, at the top
of the water works hill, he was as
saulted without any provocation by
Kovacz, who had heavy club in his
hands. Kovacz, when asked by the
recorder why he had hit the COM
plainant, said that he was a little in
toxicated and that some one had
snowballed him. He could not fur
nish $500 bail and was taken to New
Brunswick to await the action of the
grand Jury.
