THIEF TOOK NOTHING
BUT RANSACKED LINCOLN
PARK HOME.
Evidently Not of an Artistic Turn, as
strobell's Fine Picture Was
Tossed Aside.

The house Of George H. Strobell, 5 Lin
coin Park. was entered some time last
night or this morning, and though the
place was ransacked from top to bottom,
nothing is missing, according to Mrs.
Strobell.
The burglar was evidently a professional,
Judging from the way In which entrance
was effected. A rear cellar window was
forced open with a jimmy. From the
cellar the marauder assembled a flight of
stairs to a door leading into the kitchen.
The panel of this door was easily taken
out. holes being bored by means of a
brace and bit. Once this panel was taken
out it was an easy matter to place the
hand inside of the door and unlock it.
The break was discovered by John Far
ley. a coachman, who saw the cellar win
dow open. He told Bicycle Policeman Nc
Nally. who, in turn, notified the First
Precinct Station. Plainclothes Policeman
King was sent to the house. He made n
thorough search and was later Joined by
Detective Sergeant Cordano.
That the, person who entered the house
had taken every precaution to make his
exit safe was evident from the condition
in which the house was found. The front
door was unlocked, and the side window
was Open. 1t was through this that the
man probably made his escape.
Seeing that the house was. in a topSy-
turvy condition Stropell was sent for at
his factory. He could not tell just what
was missing until his wife comes. He
said that all the jewelry and silver were
locked in the safe in his office.
Nothing was overlooked apparently by
the one who entered the house. A picture
which appeared very much like a valuable
oil painting was ripped out of the frame.
1t was later found on the floor
1,aa ynolioa diccoxyarad fho hrand with
which the man bored holes to unlock the
door leading to the kitchen. They also
found a New York paper of Wednesday
night and a package of tobacco.

The railroad company is making a place
in the station TO be used separately as a

there has been so mueh controversy and
trouble, will be continued in the station.
much to the disgust of the boroughites, the
majority of whom are now sorry that they
voted against free delivery from the
mother town of Bloomfield. At that time
they were promised a new postoffice, with
all modern conyeniences.

AT A SwTANDSTILL
RIVAL FACTIONS IN ORANGE
EDUCATION BOARD.
Teachers Committee Oppose Agnew fol
Day Street School Principal n It's
Own Candidate, Moon, Withdraws.

The situation in the Orange Board OF
EDUCATION regarding the appointment OIL .
principal for the Day Street Schooi Is no"
i'm more of a middle than ever, according
10 statements made by several members
TODAY. An effort is being made to have a
special meeting of the board called next
Monday night, when the members VINO
favor the appointment of Mr.. Agnew, the
Bloomfield man, will bring the matter up
and probably indulge in strong CRITICISM
of the teachers committee.
Last night the committee on supplies de-
cided TO purchase furniture for the Day
Street School. 1t was stated that Work IS
being rushed on the repairs, to nave the
building in readiness for the reception OF
pupils by the September term. Although
there was a long delay in starting, the
probabilities are that the mechanics Will
have 1t nearly completed in time for tho
opening. The special meeting OF the ooard
will be requested Monday night, so tnat
The action of the committee in ordering the
furniture may be sanctioned. .
The members who are seeking the APP
pointment Of Mr.. Agnew say that the
teachers committee, by a clever ruse, VIII
try and put off the holding of 0 meeting
until the middle of September, which will
probably mean that Superintendent Riggs
will appoint a principal pro tenn when
the term begins. The teachers commit
tee is not In favor OF the m man
and has a list OF about fifteen other cam
didates from whom, it is said, they would
prefer to make their choice. Mr.. Moon,
whom they favor, is understood to be now
out OF the race, and this fact is adding TO
the complications. The board was DIVIDED
on Messrs. Agnew and Moon.
IL was stated today that several mem
hers of the board, about five, In fact, Will
remain away from meetings of the board
now for a time, as they did when the last
meeting was called. They say that the
teachers committe refuses to bring out
Mr.. 4.gnew's name, and that they can
prevent any other appointment being made.
we stood by the rest OF the board on
the appointment of Mr.. Riggs, and on
other matters for the past few months,
said one of the members, i'and now We are
left alone. We are tired of being suck
ers' for the sest of the members"
The two factions in the board have been
on bad terms ever since the matter of Gp-
pointing q principal came up, and, de-
spite heroic attempts, they have been UNI
able 10 aFree among themselves and settle
on a candidate. No one is willing to bring
ont a compromise candidate. and the conf
plicaticns may continue for a long period.

TAX RATES IN ORANGES.
No Change in E. orange-Decrease Elk
pected in Orange and West Orange.

AS the county tax figures have not yet
been completed, the different assessors Of
the Oranges have been unable to determine
positively what the new tax rate will be.
In East Orange, however, it is believed
that the rate will be $3.50, which was the
same figure last year. There was a de-
crease in the city of about 8 points, but
small margin.
Orange and West Orange assessors figure
on having a noticeable decrease over last
can be said. 1t Is figured by Orange that
the new rate will be $3.50. Last year it
was $2 fat. In West Orange 1t is thought
that the new rate will be about $3.50. Last
year it was s2.56. The county board has
several places to reassess and until this Is
accomplished the exact figures will be in
doubt.
