ARRANGEMENT
BY GRAND JURY
RESENTED
Heated Discussion Pro and
Con by Board of Educa-
ton Members.

From the rows at the committee
meetings of the Board of Education
the last ten days, it was expected that
the meeting of that body last night
would be lively. but on the principle
of deferring trouble as long as possible.
several of the important questions were
laid over until the August meeting
When the meeting was called to order
in the Common Council chamber by
ce-President William r. Tuite, most
of the commissioners were in their
seats, an unusual occurrence for the
July meeting, when 1t is generally hard
to get quorum.
j. Edward Smith, of the Thirteenth
Ward, raised the first storm of the
night when he arose to answer the pre-
sentiment of the Grand Jury concern
ing the action of the board and the
members individually, and to add local
color to the commissioners protest
against what he called the violent and
personal attack on the board by the
Grand Jury" Commissioner George
Varley made a motion to have the pre-
sentiment read, and when, after a con-

themselves before the meeting as op-
posed TO accepting Mr.. Gourley's res

to be that the resignation will not be
accepted. Mr. Gourley resigned once

4-year-old son Michael, who has been

The child was stolen from his home
five days ago when Gala refused to
meet the demands of the blaclsmailers,
and since then the police have been
keeping the affair secret, on the excuse
that the kidnapped child could be
found easier If none but the police knew
about It,
On the day of the kidnapping little
Michael was playing with other chill

shop. The father is counted wealthy
among his countrymen. He is the sort
of man who knows the worth of a dol

He devotes all his time to his fam

believes in the law. He has no sym

DENOUNCES
CLERGYMEN
German Organization Con-
demnS Ministers Who
Want Closed Sunday.

Hot shot was fired into that part of
the local clergy that holds out for a
Puritanical observance of Sunday by
several speakers at last nights meeting
of the German American Central ALI
ance In Fergg's Hall, Springfield ave-
nue., and then committee was APP
pointed to draft resolutions Of condem-
nation and have them published so that
the public can read as it runs the opin-
ion held by the alliance of clergymen of
this class.
AT the same time 1t was decided to
indorse the recent action Of the Com
mon Council in placing itself on record
as favoring an open Sunday
| The meeting was largely attended
when President George Grimme, a for
ner school commissioner. raped his
gavel and announced that the object of
the meeting was chiefly to talk over the
two points named.
"The alliance" he added, SHOULD
make its attitude on these matters
known and should take issue with those
clergymen which, fortunately. are only
found in pulpits where the English Ian
guage is used, who perseeute the people
with their Standardization and de-
nounce the position taken by the Com
mon Council in this respect
Several of the members expressed
their opinions forclbly on the subject,
and then Eugene Teimer moved that
the action of the Common Council be
indorsed.
This was done unanimously and
then George Hermann made the mo-
tion that the class of clergymen re-
ferred to be formally denounced. He
backed up the motion by saying that
these preachers had insulted the city
by saying that it was in the hands of
druRkards.
Other members declared roundly that
it was up to" some of Newark's $ eler-
gymen to look after their own morals
before spying upon their nelghbors.
The opinion was also generally voiced
that these preachers usually had at
home what they wanted in the way of
liquid refreshments. which they would
deny to their fellow creatures by the
enforcement of antlquated laws.
The president finally appointed Charles
Eytel, George Hermann. Richard Tel
mer, Frederick Breithut and Gustav
Wolber as the committee that is to ex-
press its opinion of Sunday laws and
their clerical upbolders.
Before adjournment the members dis
cussed the advisability Of indorsing
party candidates for Assembly. but no
action was taken. The opinion was
pretty generally expressed that both
parties would be disposed to put up
more liberal men this Year than last.

believed, to rescue a young woman

The young lady proved to be Nor
man Carroll, of Newark, disguised m,
female attire. The incident created a.
lot of excitement It was at the first
annual ball and carnival at the Deal
Casino, and there were nearly q
thousand summer cottagers about who
come from all along the coast from Sea-
bright south.

appeared that John Gerkin. who got
up the carnival unknown to everybody,
had planned this farce as an amuse~
ment feature. In the party with Carr
roll were Norton Wolters. OF Newark,
disguised as policeman. and III trying
to arrest the disturbers ne was himself

SAWS WAY OUT

PATERSON
RObber Richardson and a
"Trusty' Make Their Es-
cape This Morning.


PATERSON, July 27.-John A. Rich
ardson. the diamond robber, who on
June IA. with Arthur Browne, held up
a clerk in Friedmans jewelry store on
Market street, and was caught after a
running fight with citizens and police.
escaped from the Passaie County Jail
early this morning, assisted by Joseph
Higgins, a 'trusty," who went with
him.
How Richardson got out without be-
ing seen by the night keeper is a mys-
terry. He was confined in No cell in
the main corridor of the Jail. and Mar
tin Donnelly. the keeper, sits in this
corridor all night. Richardson sawed
two of the bars in his cell, crawling
through a space about ten by ten
inches
From the corridor he made his way
TO the bath room in the rear of the
jail, and there sawed one Of the bars,
and, forcing screen on the outside,
after he got into the Jail yard he had
to get over a fifteen-foot wall.
Richardson's escape was not discov-
cred until shortly after O'clock, al
though Higgins was reported missing at
z o'clock
1t is thought that Higgins furnished
the saw, as Richardson had no visitors
all the time that he was confined
Browne, Richardson's pal, recently
pleaded guilty to grand larceny, and
was sentenced to eight years at hard
labor At the time that he sentenced
Browne, Judge Scott intlmated that he
would give Richardson the limit il he
were found guilty. When they were
arrested Browne and Richardson were
armed with three army Colt reVolvers,
and carried about five hundred rounds
of ammunition.

today, but such action has no mean
ing This is not Becketts fault
Speaker Beardslee. after announcing
the vote, calmly informed the House
that unless he were forced TO do so
by another resolution he would not
appoint any investigating committee
The reason he gave was entirely ju-
dicial He thought the State was try
ing TO interfere in Federal affairs.
Beckett obtained quick action on his
resolution. There was no debate. The
rollcau revealed fifty-eight ayes and
ten noes. Lined UP with the oppo-
sitiOn were Speaker Beardslee, Grove

geles, Davis Of Salinas, Mcconnell OF

voted no." he said, because I think
IL is a Federal question" An hour prior
TO this time Johnson had complained
bitterly that the regulation OF railway
freights and fares by the Interstate
Commerce Commission was an invasion
Of State rights.
Speaker Beardslee liked Johnson's
reason for opposing the coal shortage
resolution. I am Of the same opinion
he said. The Legislature has no power
to make such an investigation Our
action is a nullity. and unless there is
a resolution to enforce it the Speaker
