ASK REHEARING
FOR PRINCIPAL
THOMAS B|SsELL
Counsel Appeals to State Board
of Examiners for Sns-
pended ,ScIioolman.
LEronl a sLaf Oorrespondenl.l ]

TRENTON, March 1l.---Alderman Je-
rome r. Congleton, of the Eleventh
Ward of Newark, today applied to the
State Board of Examiners for a rehear-
ing on the case of Principal Thomas
j. Bissell, OF the Charlton Street
School. Newark, who was suspended on
q charge of issuing a false certificate
Of graduation in the name of the F'lem-
ington High School. of which he was
formerly principal, for consideration
OF $500.
Mr.. Congleton, as counsel for Mr..
Bissell, says he has additional evil
dence that should be submitted. Fall
ing to get a rehearine, Mr. Congleton
viii appeal the case to the State Board
of Education
This case, the first in many years of
It's kind in the local school
system, was the result of in
vestigation by the Board OF Ex-
aminers ON charges preferred against
Bisseu by the State Board of Medical
Examiners, and after trial Bissells GER
tiffcate was revoked. The local Board
Of Education took action on the matter
and President Guild and Commissioner
Breunig, chairman of the teachers COM
mittee, In view of the action of the
Board OF Examiners, suspended the
principal pending action by the entire
board.
Bissell admitted at the hearing hay
ing issued the certificate and having
received the $500, but he claimed he
did the first because he thought the
young man was worthy, and that the
money was u personal loan. On tho
other hand, the young man to whom
the certificate was issued testified that
he paid 5000 for it SO that he could
take a medical examination.
There has been some doubt existing
as to the necessity of the local board
taking action under the school law.
When his first class certificate was re-
voked by the Board of Examiners Bis
sells license TO teach here was null and
void under the law providing that a
teacher must have certificate.
Blseeli can have recourse to the State
Board Of Education 10 revoke the de-
cision of tho state examiners. but at
the time of the trial he declared that he
would not do SO, as he was convinced
that the examiners would never have
taken the action they did without the
tacit consent of the members of the
State Board Of Education.

Eugene w. Chain, Prohibition party
nominee for the presidency. who is now
campaigning in Los Angeles. has it
definitely figured how he will be elect
ed as the country's executive, and he
is energetically going about 1t to carry
out his program.
There are enough avowed Prohibf-

Chain yesterday. IF two out of three
of them will come out and show their

l have made this statement in twenty
states and 1t has never been denied.
No newspaper anywhere has contra
dicted it. And I am going after that
two thirds to make them vote as they
think"
Mr. Chain says he believes he will
be elected He will not admit other
wise. He says every reporter asks
him who will be the next president
and that he has never denied that he
is looking for the honor. When asked
whether Bryan will not make Tart
poor third in the race Mr., Chain uses
all a, lawyers dizziness in cleverly side
stepping. He avoids making any COM
parison between Bryan and Taft and
quickly switches the conversation back
to what he regards as the sole issue.
Temperance Only Issue"
"There is no other issue but the
temperance question" he says. "An
the politicians know that. They admit
that they have no issues. AS Tar as
the tariff is concerned. If either Taft
or Bryan should be elected by any
accident the result will be same.
Should Bryan win, If Roosevelt mas
half the sense l credit him with he'll
proceed to call a special session Of
congress and they will revise the tar
if within ten days.
What will happen when I'm elect
ed? There will be the most mammoth
lot of political conversions ever known
in the world on November 4, especially
among senators and congressman, and
year later there won't be brewery
or distillery in the country"
Mr.. Chain did admit that he consid-
cred Taft's chances shaky.
eff Taft loses the colored vote of five
states he won't be president" he said
He seemed to think Bryan would poll
a heavier vote than at the last cleo
ton, but would not definitely commit
himself as to this.
Mr.. Chain will speak five times to-
day and he made five addresses yes
