county the number of children of
school age reported this year is more
than one hundred less than renortod
last year. Small families or none ~
all are becoming fashionable. and wo
are approaching the condition of affairs

more elaborate rufus.
Number one is OF pointed fox. which
g much used this season. Along the
upper edge are two rows of pleated
brown satin, and above these frill Of
cream lace. At the fastening is n large
knot OF brown velvet ribbon.
The hat worn with this is of the

but two long irdisoent quilts Ct the

Number two is a more elaborate ruff
in moleskin, with pleatings al top and
bottom OF dark gray satin. \ deep frill
Of lace finishes the top.
At the fastening IS a large satin

Aiming for Civil War.

There has been no repetition in this
city of the anti-Castro demonstrations,
but the enforced resignation of the Cas-
tro Cabinet. which occurred yesterday,
knocks the last prop from under the En-
President. The fall OF the Cabinet is a
logical outcome OF the fact that Acting
President Gomez permitted the anti
Castro demonstrations in Caracas the
early days OF this week.
The change of Ministry was effected
and made known only after the arrival
in the capital OF 1900 soldiers from the
interior, who are loyal TO Gomez.
There Is much military activity every
where and troops are being recruited and
armed with energy in the belief that the
men in the interior loyal to Castro Will
fight.

Especial to the Evening start

PERTH ANBOY, June 25.-Married
in a trance, on which she did not
recover for hours, pretty Helen Mel
son, of Perth Amboy. declares that she
knows nothing of the ceremony, of a
wild ride that preceded 1t or of
supper for four celebrating the event,
although she was the central figure in
it all. She says she knows only of her
awakening two days afterward and
her desertion by the man who called
himself her husband, John Myer
Jorgensen. who is now believed to be
in Troy, N, Y.
So, with her brain in whirl and
scarcely understanding the meaning of
it ALL she has brought suit for annul-
ment, on the technical legal grounds
that she was but 16 when the wedding
occurred Her lawyer, Peter A. Peter
son, of Perth Amboy, who specializes
in divorce suits. filed her bill shortly
after the wedding. and was met by a
demurrer from Jorgensen's attorneys.
The case was argued before Vice

down an opinion in which the demurrer
was dismissed, and the girl is free to
continue her suit.

MAYOR vET0ES
WOOD PAVEMENT
IN MARKET STREET
One of Chief Reasons Because
Plan Does Not Include
Broad Street.

Mayor Haussling put his stamp of
disapproval to the intended action of
the Board of Works today to repave
Market street with wood block pave
ment.
His chief reasons for antagonizing
the plan are because, in a measure, it
would be an experiment, and also be-
cause Broad street is not included in
the improvement. He vetoed the reso-
luton of the Board of Works and sent
it back to that body today.
The Mayors veto and his reasons
therefore follow in part:
1.-THE total mileage which it Is pro-
posed to cover with this pavement is
approximately three and three-quarter
miles, The cost at current rates for
the pavement would therefore reach
into the hundreds of thousands of dol
lars l cannot but regard it as an ex-
pertinent so far as Newark is con-
cerned. I do not deem it we'll to try
experiments on such an extensive scale,
and at such an enormous outlay.
"Any measure which seeks as its
chief end in view to relieve the bust
ness district of noise and does not in
clude Broad street as well as Market
street IHuSt DS cOTIeSSeu NAH Il failure
from the start.
Before an attempt shall be made to
lay new pavement, which is ex-
pected to be permanent in its nature,
on either Market or Broad streets, some
determination should be arrived at as
to the measures to be adopted for the
relief of congestion at the intersection
of these two important thoroughfares.
1t would be the height of folly to lay
a pavement at great cost and tear it
up within few years in order to dig
a subway. Within a very few years it
will be necessary to adopt some radi-
cal measure to relieve the congestion,
whether it shall take the form of a
subway or not.
For that district, a pavement that
will stand up under tons and tons of
metal, machinery and other weighty
materials and manufactured products
is an absolute requirement, and until
it can be shown, beyond the question
of a doubt, that something more dur
able than granite block has been found
no other pavement should be laid on
these streets
"The phraseology of this resolution
raises a grave doubt as to whether or
not the contract would be thrown into
the hands of one company which has
as it's trademark the word 'creo-
two companies which have the right
to use the patents covered by this
trade term"

BAURO GUILTY OF
So. ORANGE KILLING
IN SECOND DEGREE
He Slew His Chum, Michael
SOIittO, Because He "Chucked"
Him Under the Chin.
INSANITY FROM DRINK
OFFERED AS A DEFENSE
Court Charged Evidence Failed
to Show Mems Faculties
We're Numbed.

The jury in the case of Giuseppe
Bauro, charged with the murder of Mi
chael Solitto in South Orange on April
10, returned a verdict of murder in the
second degree at l o'clock today in the
Court of oyer and Terminer. The max
imum penalty is thirty years imprison-
ment
Bauro did not take the witness stand
himself. The general line of defense
conducted by his counsel, Hugh B..
Reed and Robert d. Reynolds, was
that Bauro was made insane by drink
and other eXcesses when he put two
bullets into Solittos heart. and there
were several witnesses today that
swore that Bauro was a man of good
reputation.
The men met on Church street, where
the dead man made his home. Solitto
was in a playful mood and 'chucked'
Bauro under the chin. This was re-
scented so fercely that the fatal row
occurred which sent one to the morgue
and the other to the bar of justice.
They were friends of boyhood days.
The court in its charge said that the
evidence did not appear to show that
Bauro's faculties were prostrated
Prosecutor Wilbur A. Mott summed
up for the State, and Mr.. Reed for the
prisoner
