THREE TEACHERS ARE
OFFERED BETTER PAY.
Desertion Likely in Kearny Unless
Graded Salaries Are Adopted by
School Board.

Many of those identified and specially in
terested in the work of the public schools
of Kearny fear that the system will be-
come seriously hampered unless some def
mite action is taken at nee by the Board
for teachers. Saturday three teachers. all
of whom have taught in the kearny schools
during the past five years. at an average
salary of 5000, received appointments in the
New York and Newark schools and unless
some encouragement Is given them as to
favorable action along the line of salary
advance, they are liable to ask for their
release at the next meeting of the KearqH
Board of Education. The principals, VIM
have knowledge OF the work of these teach
ers, state that they are hrst-class instruc-
tors.
The matter of establishing the salary
schedule idea was exhaustively covered at
the last meeting of the Kearny Board of
Education in a communication from Prin-
cipal Thad J. Knapp, of the Kearny High
school, who has always been the champion
of such a cause, and his presentation of
the Importance of adopting 1t at once was
heartily supported by Superintendent Her.

dent N. NJ. Kinsey. Those in charge of
the schools openly contend that Kearny
can afford to pay its teachers just as much
salary as the nearby towns. 1t Is gratify-
ing to those who are held responsible for
the work of the Institutions of learning in
the trans-Passaic town that in all cases
where old and competent teachers. who
have been Offered positions elsewhere, their
change outside the matter of salary and
such a condition has encouraged the move

adopted by the Board of Education.

Denies that Printed Roast Is Justified

Opponents of Charles H. Gaffney, Demo-
cratic candidate for Alderman in the
Tenth Ward, have circulated handbills In
mat section OF the city, stating that Gaf-
ney took the place of one of the striking
photographers In New York. 1t is said.
however, that 1t will not affect Mr.. Calf
ney's chances In the least.
The handbills contain a statement, said
TO have been made by one j. A. Sawyer,
VINO alleges that he Is a member of Teleg-
raphers' Union No. Is, of New York, who
claims Gaffney was the cause OF his having
lost his position.
Mr.. Gaffney does not deny that he caused
Sawyer to lose his position, and that he
done sc because he found that Sawyer
and another man were using the telegraph
wires over the Central Railroad lines, and
that the two were found guilty two years
ago.
That is why Gaffney says Sawyer is
anxious to see him defeated.
Mr.. Gaffney made the following state
ment To-Day:
Mr.. Sawyer was not authorized by any
union to do what he is doing, but 1 be-
lieve he is being well paid for the trick.
Before going into details / wish to state
that several days ago I learned that MIR.
Sawyer was going to appear before the
Essex Trades Council at its meeting last
Friday night. 1 Immediately communi-
Gated with several of the leading officials
Of that body and told them that il 1t
were true that Mr.. Sawyer intended to
make any accusations against me that I
would like to have the privilege of reply
ing. l was told that ] would be granted
that favor and ] appreciated it greatly.
Il went to the meeting, but Mr.. Sawyer,
1t appears, got cold feet. for he heard that
l was there and remained away.
II he had appeared l could have
shown him to be anything but what he
represents himself to be. When he failed
to appear l was told by the Essex Trades
Council that I was nil right and that it
had nothing against me.

n others concede that the vigorous
campaign waged by Eugene F. Kin
kead. candidate for the presidency Of
the Board of Aldermen, has been the
most determining factor In the wave OF
sentiment that has been turned towards

Mr.. Wittpenn's inability to conduct

doubt of his election and his efforts
seem to be devoted to the interests of
Mr.. Wittpenn.

Henry Hudson,

Beyond the fact that Henry Hudson
was English nothing is known of his
birth. In 1907 Hudson sailed from
London in tiny vessel-the crew con-
sisted of ten men and boy-to discov-
er the Northwest passage. On this voy-
age the navigator passed the eightieth
degree of latitude. Two years later
Hudson sailed for North America and
discovered the Hudson river up which
he sailed $50 miles. In 1910 Hudson
sailed in an English ship named the
Discovery and discovered Hudson
strait and Hudson bay, where he win
tered. The crew mutinied and set Hud-
son, his son John and seven infirm sail
ors adrift in a boat. Nothing has ever
since been heard of the great sailor
who gave his name to New York's
river

SUGGESTS SHOOTING RECK-
LESS AUTOlSTS.
More Danger-from Chauffehrs
than from Footpads

Boston, May 6.-Prompted by three
cases of death or injury resulting from
persons being struck by automobiles
within thei last week, Major Henry L..
Higginson, widely known as banker
and patron of the Boston Symphony or
chestra, today issued an open letter in
which he said:
at would be an interesting question
whether man shooting a chauffeur in
defense of his life on the road would be
punished, and certainly the danger from
an automobile is much greater than the
ordinary foot-pad.
at is to be wished that the automo-
bile sinners should have to lay out the
bodies of the men. women and children
and dogs-which they kill in order. that
they may get realizing sense of their
sport
Major Higginson says that the Legis-
lature, the Park Commission, the High
way Commission and the police "pre-
sumably might interfere with this out
rage"

Held Up Auto Party at Point Of
Shotgun.

Hammond, Ind, May A big
black touring car frightened the horse of
John Ewing, of Black Oak, few days
ago and caused it to run away injuring
his wife and daughter. AS soon as
Ewing could get control of the animal
he drove home, got his shotgun and wait
ed throughout the remainder of the day
for the return of the auto.
The car after the accident had gone
on without giving any assistance. After
a vigil of four hours the scorching auto
returned and Ewing aimed at the party,
two of whom were women, and threat
ened to shoot right into them if they did
not stop. The frightened chauffeur
stopped and Ewing demanded $75 as
settlement for the damage. The owner
of the car was glad to pay this and he
was permitted to go. The farmer did
not ask the names of the party. The
owner said all were from Chicago.

Unless an agreement is made the on

There are many kinds of paper mon

ANNIVERSARY Hymn


Tune Duke ST., page 202.
Oh, Thou from out whose bounteous hand,
the years their richest treasures pour,
Accept the praise Thy children bring,
And hallow Thou this sacred hour.
Here would we cherish memories dear
OF those who toiled, nor toiled in vain,
Since we their children reap today
The harvests rich OF golden grain.
We praise Thee for the noble lives,
Here lived by faith IN Thee their God.
For sacrifice and service true
That marked the path our fathers trod.
AS here today we would renew
Our VOWS OF loyalty and love.
grant Thy favor. gracious Lord,
Send strength and courage from above.
Through coming years give wisdom. Lord,
Thy Holy Spirit richly give.
To guide us through our journey here,
That henceforth we with Thee may live.
REV. THOMAS SIMMs.
The following beautiful hymn, COM
posed by the former pastor here, was
sung at the 200th anniversary of the
DidihtiCCi Vudoo', Iiiot CONGREGATIONAL
church, at the exercises held there,
which began Sunday, the 9Th, and con-
tinued for three days. These exercises
and services were participated in by very
large assemblages from Braintree and the
surrounding cities. Elaborate prepare
tons have been made for several months
by the pastor, Mr. Simms, and the vari-
Gus committees in charge of the work.
The First Congregational church of
Braintree has had, in the 200 years of
its eventful history, only eight pastors
in all that time. The parish erected the
first meeting house in 1706; this was
superseded by one built in 1853; another
was built in 1880, while the present beau
tiful structure was finished in 1857.
The present pastor, the Rev. Thomas
Simms, went to Braintree from Middle
burytin October, 1906, and has already.
by his fearless, painstaking and Chris
tian life and work gained the love and
respect of his parish to a marked de-
gree.
