HARRISON BOARD.
Sessions VIII Begin Monday and Will
Be Held Four Nights Each Week
at School No. 1.

The Harrison Board OF Education at an
adjourned meeting last night made ar
rangements for the opening of night school
Monday which will be conducted four
nights each week at School No. 1. Nine
applications were received for appointment
as teachers In the night school. and after
much balloting the following five teachers
were appointed at a salary of s1.T5 per
night: Miss Anna Delaney, Miss Mary
Gallivan, Miss Helen Maher. Miss Cecilia
Sullivan and Miss Lucy McCabe.
Supervising Principal John Dwyer was
selected as principal of night school at a
salary Of So per night, and John Lawless
was appointed ~janitor at $50 per night.
The total enrolment for night school was
reported to be ITO, of which 10 signihed
their desire to take a course in mechanical
drawing, but the board concluded that that
was hardly a sufficient number of pupils
to warrant the employment of a teacher
for such a course. However, the matter
was laid over for further consideration.
Trustee Desmond advocated the board
giving q series of lectures on popular sub
jects this winter. and, after some discus
sion, it was resolved to refer the matter
to a committee of the whole.

BROCK WILL FIGHT
KEARNY CANDIDATE" NOW
GOES TO LAW.
Man Named by Two Democratic Dele
gates Appeals to the Supreme
Court.

Not satisfied TO abide by the decision of
Hudson County Clerk John Rotterdam in
the certificate of nominations made
by the Kearny Democratic convention held
at the call of Chairman James j. Dunn
a few days ago, indorsing the Republican
candidate, Henry Crookall, for Mayor of
Kearny. in preference to the certificate of
nomination filed by the regular Demo-
cratic delegates, John Durkin and Alfred
Kenworthy. of the Second Ward, of
Kearny. who indorsed Louis M. Brock for
Mayor. the latter decided this morning
after consulting counsel. to appeal to the
Supreme Court on the ground that the GER
tihcate of Durih1 n Kenworthy> is the
only legal document.
The were prepared and attested
to and will be submitted to the court Mon
day.
1t was said today that the reason the
Crooksl certificate was filed was because
was received three days sooner than the
Brock papers. while Town Clerk Theodore
c. Wildman stated that he mailed them all
at the IN time. The excuse appeared to
be fi1msy to Mr.. Brock and his followers,
and the action decided upon followed.

POET DISCHARGED
DESPITE OFFENSE.
Handed Out Specimen Of His Writings
in Court, but Judge Howell
Was Ienient.

Can you imagine a poet possessing a
Z mind delicately refined and a soul as
sensitive as that Of Artist Earle, of
affinity fame, sleeping all night, or at
least half of it, in a dark, not to say
dirty, cell, and taking a calm view of
the matter, without a show of indigna-
tion? Well, that is exactly what has
happened in this enlightened city of
Newark, where art, in whatever shape
it may appear, is supposed to be appre-
ciated.
The fact that he was intoxicated and
admitted 1t unblushingly and tDat he
bore the ordinary name of William
Thompson, does not prevent him from
attaining greatness. He was in the
Third Precinct Police Court this
morning.
Judge Howell discharged him without
first exacting a promise from him 10 re-
frain from writing any more poetry.
Here is what he handed out today,
which, he said. was written in his cell
while he was in a reminiscent mood:
stranger, hear those students singing,
Singing sweet, it seems to some,
OF the bright themes college teaches
And of brighter things to come.
/ was once a singing student,
SANG in ~hope-false hope, forsooth-
Doubt these harponies Of faIitime
And this poetry Of youth
