the approaches of any one who wished

Secretary Root touched his hat to
several who greeted him, and smiled
family. but he did not speak.
He walked unassisted with a pretty
firm step, but looked pale and care

further treatment. 1t is reported that

GEDNEY TAKES ISSUE
DISPUTES DECISION OF AT
T0RNEY-GENERAL.
East Orange City Council Declares That
New Law Prevents Education Board
Filling Vacancies.

City Counsel Jerome D. GedneV, OF East
Orange, still takes issue with the opinion
of State Superintendent of Schools Charles
Baxter. regarding the right of the East
Orange Board of Education to fill vacan-
cies In the body by appointment.
Mr.. Baxter's opinion, in which he states
he Is backed up by the Attorney-general
r~ecites: IF the city has not adopted
either section IS Or 80 of the school law,
and was operating under the city act OF
March "a, 1899. at the time of the passage
of the school law. tnen the Board of Edu-
cation, under section II of said act, nus
vacancies by appointment until the next
city election"
1t is the contention of Mr.. Gedney that
both the Attorney-general, if he IS re-
ported correctly. and Mr.. Baxter must
have failed to examine the law that Went
into effect February %, 1901, whicn rs
chapter Is. section 8, of the laws OF 1917
page 42), which states that vacancies In
elective Offices shall hereafter be hlled at
the next general election. and not otnef-
wise" This law, says Mr., Gedney' repeats
all former ones on the subject.
When Lincoln E. Rowley. now, ely
Clerk. resigned from the City Council, MI
Gedney was asked for an opinion regard
ing the right of the Council 10 appoint d
man in Mr.. Rowley's stead. The attorney
in looking up the law found the chapter re-
ferred to above, and told the Council that
no man could be appointed legally, put
that the voters must make a. selectoh.
The Council abided by this ruling, and a
successor to Mr.. Rowley will be eiecteu
this year.
The trouble arises over the action Of the
Board of Education In having appointed
]. NJ. Eppstein to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of the Rev. Thomas u
Spencer, and also George w. Sill, to sue
coed the Rev. DR.. John CrowelL MI;
Spencer resigned November L., 1906,
Crowell December 10, 1906. Both Com
m~issi0ners Sill and Eppstein have, been
CRYING about six months, ana IL Is tHe
contention of Mr.. Gedney that both men
are holding office Illegally.
At the meeting of the board Monday
night a petition signed by many, Of the
prominent residents of the Second Ward;
who asked that the board appoint WorraI
r. Mountain, a lawyer, to succeed Com
missioner Harvey r. Halsey, who has
lately resigned, was received: In the face
of the opinion of the State superintendent
and the signers of the petition, however
the board would not name Mr.. Mountain:
Many thought this significant, in view of
Thomas's claim that the board
would be guided by Mr.. Bakers letter.
Mr.. Thomas also stated at the meeting
that he had held back the reading Of Mr..
Halsey's letter by the consent or the
commissioner"

| CAUGHT, ESCAPED
East Orange Policemen Find Negro and
White Youth in Rear Of
Alfred Fricke Home.

Policeman Gustav Vetter. of East Or
ange. who is sent out in plain clothes ev-
cry night to watch for burglars in the
northern part of the city. spotted a sus-
picious looking white and a eolored man
shortly after 8 o'clock last night in Ham
ilton street. near Arlington avenue. north.
He made a flank movement to get in the
rear of the two. He trailed along the
street after them and kep a close watch
behind trees.
The men stopped in front of the home
of Alfred Fricke. 156 Arlington avenue,
and went to the rear of the house. Vetter
kent a close watch on them, and at about
the same time Mrs. Charles III. Gillespie.
who lives at LAG. saw them and telephoned
to police headquarters. Policeman Nelson
Gamble was sent to the place on a bicycle.
When he drew up Vetter also went over
and the two cautiously examined the rear
of the residence.
The Fricke family is out of the city.
The negro, who later gave his name as
Leon Smith, II years old, Of 81 Campbell
street. Newark. made no effort TO escape
and he was easily captured. The white
youth was a little quicker. however. and
made a dash through the lots In back Of
the home that lead to the unfinished Park
way.
The neighborhood was then aroused by
the call of the officers to the white youth
to stop. Me kept going faster and then
guns were drawn. A shot was fired In the
air, but the fellow kept going, n then
the officers tried to NOW him down with
well-dlrected bullets. They fired several
times, but in the darkness failed to hit
their man. He kept running and got
away.
smith was carried to the station house,
where he said that he had meant no harm,
but was asked by the white youth. whom
he said was unknown to him, to come up
to East Orange and assist in. the moving
of a trunk. His companion, he said, car
ried him across town and then went TO
the rear of the house. where the prisoner
was captured. They decided to hold
Smith and will make an Investigation. No
tools of any kind were found on the man.

TO CHANGE SYSTEM
SCAVEMGEREXPLAINST R0U-
BILE TO IRvINGTON COUNCIL.
Town Has Grown Too Rapidly, 1t Is
Decided, for the Old Method of
Collecting in Vogue.

Because of the many complaints reg
istered against Town ~Scavenger George
Scott, of Irvington, since he began his
work, a few months ago, he was hailed
before the Town Council of that place
last night to explain his position.
When he had finished, the board was
apparently satisfied that the difficulty
lies more with the schedules than with
contractor, and on Saturday he and
Councilman Frey. chairman of the
street committee, will attempt to ad-
Just the present routes to suit condi-
lions which have arisen since the or
dinance which laid out all routes with
reference to those parts of the town
either north or. south of the dividing
line, Springfield ven The rapid
growth OF. the town has made 1t i'm
possible, it was explained, to work
longer on h old plan. The changing
of the contractors has also led to con-
fusion, Mr.. Scot declared.
One OF bis chief sources Of trouble, said
the contractor. is the failure of many
residents to place their garbage in the
the wagon falls to return a second time
Tor their box the people complain. He
denied when questioned that his wagons
vary more than n half hour from the set
time. Another source Of trouble Is de-
mand on the part of some that his men
cross the property lines and to going
into cellars for the refuse. In some In
stances the garbage is placed In recep-
tdcleS 10 dig anu neaNy 10 De HaHuleu'
Some residents demand that the con-
tractor carry a. even stones and ma
terial that "A seavenger is not supposed to
take, Mr.. Scott stated.
The conncilmen were inclined to be none
too charitable to those who place obstacles
In the way of the proper collection of the
garbage. Mayor GlorieuX told Scott that
he should order his men not to cross
property lines and to leave refuse left
in bulky boxes and TO take nothing that
his contract ,does not call for,
He said hat where the residents fail
to place their g@bage out in time and
then leave it in the streets all day the
police should quietly order them to keep
the garbage inside, at the same time noti-
flying them of the schedule. Where this
fails to have any effect the offenders should
be fined, he said.
The committee on sewers was author
lied to make arrangements to have sewers
constructed on the Lyon avenue extern
sion. Sewer Contractor Fusco, OF Mont
clair, was given notice that unless he
completes his work in several streets
within three days 1t will be done by the
town and the cost deducted from its pay
ments to him.
An attempt will be made to make ar
rangements with this city for an outlet to
the short Loretta street sewer. Large
factories are to go up in that section and
the need of a sewer is imperative.
Ordinances to open Bell, Ruth ana Stan
ley streets passed their first readings.

BLAZING CAR IS RUN FAST.
Motorman Takes It to Fire House
e" Women Hysterical.

A motorman on West Orange car No.
1.430 gave an exhibition of superb nerve
this morning, when a fire broke out under
the truck of the vehicle. Instead of stop
ping to inspect the trouble, he put on full
speed and rushed the car three blocks to
the headquarters of the East Orange Fire
Department
The fire first began when the car was
at Walnut street, and was indicated by
smoke that came I'D through the floor and
streams of flames that curled Upwards
along the sides, Several women were
aboard, and they grew hysterical, expect
ing something serious to happen. The
crew tried to assure them of the absence
Of danger. but did not stop TO let them OF
until the fire house was reached.
The department extinguished the flames
and little loss resulted.

ton the Republicans will indorse him.

his friends that he a procured con
siderable for his ward during the two
