WANTS ANOTHER
H. s. BUILDING

Present One Crowded and Board
of Education Is Planning
Ahead.
DENY GIRL THE RIGHT
ACCORDED TO BOYS
Miss Helen Seymour Studied All
Summer for the Entrance
Examination.

Principal Charles Evans, of the High
School, asked the Board of Education
last night to consider the congestion at
that building in regard to gymnasium
work, sufficient room not being afforded
to carry on the work properly. The
matter will be considered by "a COM
mittoe.
1t is expected that a new high school
will be erected in a few years, and the
board decided last night to keep in
touch with architectural beauties.
Commissioner Eppstein made an eff
fort to have the board break a re-
cent rule and give Miss Helen
Seymour, of Carnegie avenue, an oppor-
tunity to take the High School en-
trance examination again, but his plan
failed. As boys who first fail and are
given an opportunity to try again If
they attend and succeed In the Y. NJ
c. A. summer school in Newark. Mr..
Eppstein thought Miss Seymour should
be afforded an opportunity. She re-
ceived private tuition during the sum-
mer, tried for entrance in the Orange
school and succeeded. but though a
resident of East Orange, a similar
privilege was not accorded her.
The committee on course of study
will discuss a plan shortly Of caring
in the future for dilatory pupils.

Mayor, and those in our neighborhood
suppressed the noise of the swings.

wares from shouting, we should stor

Mrs. Klimcke further requested the
Council to stop children from burning
leaves on the streets, as the practise
was dangerous. She also had a com
plalnt to make regarding W depres'
sions left in he roadway near hei
home, which have existed, since 1907
despite frequent appeals for relief. Mrs
Klimcke said groceries were scattered
about when wagons jounced over thu
holes, and other damage resulted.
Chairman Edward S. Pierson sale
the city had no ordinance governing
the swings In ogIe, but recommended
that a formal letter be sent for furthei

that the other matters would be con
sidered.

One of the most daring robberies re-
ported to the East Orange police re-
Gently occurred, presumably last night,
at the home of Walter d. Grand, so
Harrison street. He is one of the best
known residents of that fashionable
t~horoughfare.
Jewelry valued at more thai a thou
sand dollars was taken from a drawer
in a dresser in Mrs. Grand's room, but
there was nothing to show the name
in which the thief had forced an en-
trance to the house.
AT noon today Chief of Police James
Bell said he had not formed an opin-
ion as to the method of the robber or
his mode of entrance.
The articles taken, all the property
of Mrs. Grand, included a gold watch
with the monogram N. G. G., with fine
gold chain attached; a diamond cres-
cent breastpin, with several stones, the
exact number not known; one gold
ring. with two large pearls; n gold
ring with diamonds and turquoises; one
gold ring with three turquoises; one
gold ring with emerald, surrounded by
Sl1dll uldIIlofioSp I'll diiCtfiJSh bAScSAa
and two smaller ones to match and sew
eral gold articles.
Mrs. Grand could not give an APP
proximate value of the stolen goods to-
day, but said much of the jewelry taken
had a sentimental value that wal
greater than the monetary value.
The jewelry was taken probably last
night while the family was at dinner

DEMOCRATS HOPE
To CONTROL The.
ORANGE COUNCIL
Leaders Meet Tomorrow Night
to Assure the Election of
Two COunciImen.
CERTAIN OF GAINING
ONE SEAT IN CHAMBER
Mr.. Seymour Still Insists on His
Candidacy for the Of
flee of Mayor.

Notices have been sent out for a
meeting of the Orange Democratic City
Central Committee tomorrow night,
when Chairman James ID. Moriarity
and his colleagues will discuss the
coming campaign. The Democrats
have opportunities to regain control of
the city government, they claim, and
the rank and file are ambitious to win.
The retirement of FIVE Republican
members of the Common Council and
the fact that the six Democratic mem
bers of the body of fifteen men hold
over requires that but two Democrats
be elected in the five wards of the city.
In the Fourth ward the Democratic
leaders claim they will elect Lieutenant
Richard j. Kelley and that leaves but
n other man to be chosen.
The contest for nay which has re-
ceived a new twist by the looming up
of Mayor Shoenthal, again will also re-
quire the attention of the party leaders
Should Councilman Arthur Il. Seymour
decide to emain in the race as Demo-
cratic mayoralty candidate that will
settle the question of the nominee, as
Mayor Shoenthal will positively not run
unless he heads his party ticket. Coun-
Gilman Seymour today was asked what
his course would be, and he said en-
p~hatically:
II certainly will not withdraw. Why
should II"
The Democrats also have a straight
party ticket for the new school board,
and the men who defeated the non-par-
tisan movement in the party primary
are claiming the straight party ticket
will win.
1t is not likely a banner will be raised
in Orange this year, as money is
scarce. The Republican Taft and Sher-
man emblem will. therefore, in all prob
ability, be the only Main street political
decoration.
