ANGRY BOYS HISS
AND HOOT At BIG
SCHOOL MEETING
East Orange High School Lads
Stir Up Rumpus Over Con-
troll of Athletics.
PLACE GRIEVANCES
BEFORE SCHOOL BOARD
Action Postponed Till Next Ses-
sion After a Stormy
Hearing.

Members Of the East Orange Board
OF Education had a strenuous time last
night. when the members of the High
School Athletic Association, $50 strong,
asked the board to reconsider its action
of last month, taking away control of
the association from the boys and plac-
ing it in the hands of an advisory COM
mittee. The matter al laid over till
the next meeting.
The board room was crowded, the
boys standing eight deep around the
members table, perched on window stills
and tables. and any other place they
could find footing. They felt that their
rights had been invaded, and several
incipient Patrick Henrys' raised their
voices in protest.
Harry S. Wilder, president of the as
ISOLATION, presented a resolution passed
unanimously by the boys asking for a
reconsideration.
Leonard D. Baldwin, who said he
spoke not SIS the advocate Of the boys,
but as a citizen, made a lengthy tpeech
III defense of the stand taken by the
boys. Boys taken Individually he
SAID. are rational beings, but taken
collectively, are possessed of the devil,
and 1t is easy for them to forget that
the board is the head OF the school sys-
tenn and devote their time and effort
to serve the community"
He reviewed the history of the asso-
citation for tho past twelve years and
said that 1t was a mistake on the part
OF the board to make one of their mem
bers treasurer.
The members pay their own money
IN dues to the association" said he.
and why should they turn it over to
the board, which has no more juris-
dictlon over it than the New England
Society,"
Commissioner Hulburt replied that
the board did not want to run the
athletic association, but wanted to be
consulted.
Principal Evans, of the High School.
stated that athletics had been a con-
tinuous source of trouble.
John Winfield Scott raised the ire of
the boys by his remarks, criticising
h board for alleged violations of dis
cipline, which he said they had per-
mitted. Mr.. Scott said that the presi-
dent of the athletic association, Harry
S. Wilder, had been a violater of
school laws since his admission to the
High School. and that the school records
would show such TO be the case.
Immediately the boys began to hiss
h speaker, and cries of "Put him
Quit" arose from different parts of the
room.

NEW FIRE TRUCK
AS STORM CENTRE
FOR 0FF|C|ALDOM
Orange Mayors Charges Sifted
by Fire COmmittee-May Be
Settled Next Week.

Testimony regarding the qualities OF
ORANGES new $4,000 fire truck, which
has played an important part recently
IN petty politics in that city, was heard
last night by the fire committee of the
oranpe Common Council, but no deci-
sion Was reached. Mayor Shoenthal
had charged that the Council had paid
TOO mich for the apparatus and that
If was not up to the specifications in
minor particulars.
Ar a special meeting of the fire COM
mittee next Tuesday night 1t rs eX-
nected the trouble will be settled.
Nfavor Isaac Shoenthal and Chairman
Charles w. Romine, of the committee,
had several talks today, and now that
the facts enumerated by Mayor Sheen
thai in his message vetoing the truck
are admitted and the first reasonable
explanation has been made of changes
in the truck, both sides in the contro-
versy seem anxious to clear up the
matter.
The truck was first investigated
last night, and as the Mayor
charged, the seat bottom on the
truck front was of wood instead
of metal: the basket underneath
was of wire instead of perforated steel;
the chemical tanks instead of contain
ing t~hirty-ive gallons of eXtinguishing
fluid held but 31% gallons, and it was
! shown that hooks and lanterns required
were not in place when the truck was
accepted by the officials.
President Martin, of the Fire Commits
| sion. told of the unsafe old truck, which
was put out of commission, and ad-
mitted the shortcomings of the new
apparatus. Commissioner It. F. Bren-
nan told of the examination of the
truck. Commissioner Beegle told how,
when tho defects were pointed out, the
commission sought to have them cor
rected, and explained the new truck
had to be equipped with old ladders
for a while till the hooks were secured,
and he also explained how Chief Mat
thews showed the chemical tanks were
not up to specifications. Chief Mat
thews told of the trucks failure to COM
ply with specifications in some details,
but declared the truck to be a special
apparatus, made according to require
ments.
Henry Smith, a wagon maker
Edward Heating, the man who sold the
truck; former Chairman of h Fire
Committee Daniel G. Bury, Council
man Coleman e. Nissan and other
told of their knowledge, and the coun
sci for the company supplying the trucl
brought out by questioning keatini
that the truck was a good one of it,
kind. Heating explained mistakes hat
been made in the specifications, but nj
company would remedy anything tn
lefty asked, and he told of extra part
I, furnished without charge to the city.

GOV. FORT FAILS TO SIGN
HOME CITY CHARTER BILL.

Governor Fort is not fully in accord
with a provision in the new East Or
ange city charter, which provides for
the borrowing of money, and las re-
fused to sign the bill, allowing it, how
ever to become a law without his sig
nature. He believes the provision
would be all right for East Orange, but
not for all other municipalities in the
State in cas they adopt the charter.
A special election will be held in May
to allow the citizens of East Orange to
vote for the acceptance or rejection Of
the charter.

AT the suggestion of Mayor Henry V.

CANADIAN SHOW
TO open TODAY

Toronto, Ont, Sept. 1.-The Con-
adian National exhibition today en-
tered upon its thirtieth successive year
by throwing open its gates for the
greatest display of Canadian products
and industries In its history. AS the
only permanent national fair which
has succeeded, the toronto exhibition
is unique. Prizes aggregating $50 900
are offered and have attracted a mag
nificent display of the resources of the
dominion, which fill to overfiowing the
great buildings. erected for perma-
nently housing the annual show at a
cost of over $1,500,000. Six hundred
thousand people visited the fair last
year and prospects are good for break
ing this record during the coming two
weeks. Excursions will bring visitors
from al over Canada and from many
parts of the United States.
Not only is every section of Canada
represented in the exhibits, but nearly
every country in the world, by agency,
If not directly. In short, while the
prize list is open to the universe, it is
yet doubtful If there is so thoroughly
national an exhibition anywhere in it's
aspects
The growth of the exhibition has
well kept pace with the development
of both the city and the country, for
whereas in 1888, four years after the
inaugural, the total receipts were
$56,s11; in 1893, $S7,24T: In 1903, $780,
065; last year they were no less than
$2O3,265, showing an increase of very
nearly four times in twenty four
years. Again in 1888 the total amount
of money distributed in prizes was
only $17,500, whereas last year ii was
close upon s45,500, something like
$1,00o,O00. having been paid out in
prize money since the exhibition
started. Progressive as these figures
are, it Is still worthy of note that each
year. except perhaps one OF two, has
resulted in a net profit over and
above all expenditures, from which the
city in the last FIVE years has receiv-
ed no less sum than 1896, 5O0
Gratifying as this result is it by no
means represents the value of the ex-
hibition to the city OF Toronto, nor
even indicates to what extent the city
Is proited by this unique feature in
the history of not only America. but
also old-world cities.
Apart from the magnificent aid to
the business of Toronto that the ex-
hibition has proved itself to be, it is,
as has been shown, also q fine paving
enterprise. In this respect it has the
So called worlds fairs entirely at a
discount, for there is hardly one OF
them that has not resulted in deficit
