The vote last night was 8 to 2 against

and Kingsland. Those for ii were
Councilmen O'Hara and Mccarthy.
Councilman Fred Hill, whose business
position was alleged to nave been
threatened If he voted against the Pc
tition, was again absent. Mayor George
Bayliss led the opposition to the m

Addison Ely, of Rutherford, and
Thomas F.. Noonan, Of Bayonne, rep

pay 500, 900 for h privilege of OPEN
ing the cemetery, as demanded by
| Mayor Bayliss. They stuck to their
original offer of $4,000, claiming that
figure was a fair price to reimburse
the borough for the loss of taxable
property.
Mayor Bayliss said that the granting
of the petition would mean the cutting
off of the street, gas, water and sewer
systems. Borough Counsel Bell in
formed the Council that it had no right
to exact a sum of money for the fran
chise. The decision should be reached
on it's merits, as to whether the Genie
terry would be advantageous or detri-
mental to the borough.

he asked for legal advice, as he had
been told that he a no right TO vote

of land to be included in the proposed

him il he still held the option he could
not vote legally. Counsel Noonan con-
tended that the status of the case vas

Bell still maintained his position and
suggested that one of the Councilmcr

Thanksgiving OF WILD WEST"

XXYHEN Young Buffalo was seen
N in the king of the Wild
West al Blaney's Theatre
yesterday lovers of melodrama had an
opportunity to witness n of the best
examples of this style of entertainment
which the season has SO far given us.
The piece is from Charles Il. Blaney's
busy workshop, and partakes of the
nature of Western melodrama, with
the scene of action laid in the can
yons, valleys and mountains of the

lord, when he is headed off by Young
Buffalo, who tells him that he is being
robbed. Lord Burlington tries to steal
the deeds of the mine by first having
his Indian acconiplice kill Mr.. Nor
ton. The murder is done and the blame
is laid on Mr.. Morton's wayward son
Jack. Young Buffalo again comes to
the rescue. however, and with the aid
of his little sister "Wild Nell" brings
the villains to justice.

SUNDAY SCHOOL
REVOLT BEGINS
IN KNOX CHURCH
Miss Duncan's Class Heads Se-
CessiOn Against the Rev.
R. S. Dawson.

AS the outcome of the Rev. Roland s.
Dawson's action as superintendent of
the Knox Church afternoon Sunday
school. a revolt is in progress. Mr..
Dawson, it is said. ordered members of
Miss Nettie Duncan's class out of the
school on Sunday afternoon, February
3 because they refused to read Scrip
ture in CONCERT with him. Forty-one
former pupils and teachers of the
Knox school. who became ~incensed
over the affair, assembled in the store
of Architect Macarthur. in Kearny
avenue. Sunday afternoon by special
invitation from Mr.. Macarthur and
held a two hours session in the study
of the lessons laid dow by the church.
Nearly the entire membership of the
class of Robert Terrence, Albert
Hutcheon. Mrs. William Taylor, Mrs.
William It. Howe, Mrs. Archibald Mac
Arthur and Miss Nettie Duncan were
present. The entire class of the latter
was present. Mr.. Macarthur presided
over the session.
The announcement was made that
the sessions would continue every Sun
day afternoon, and should sufficient in
terest be shown an organization will
be formed.
Mr.. Macarthur said today, when
asked regarding the new departure,
that he realized that IL these young
men and women would not attend the
Knox school they would drift away
from the good influence that such a de-
partment of a church should stand for.
After giving the subject considerable
thought he offered his place of bust
ness for the purpose and it was readily
accepted.
The Rev. Dawson when told today
that>the proposed new Sunday school
was the probable outcome of the class
affair that occurred a week ago last
Sunday declared that it was not
true, and considered that it was an
excuse given for the new departure.
He still further stated that n Of he
teachers who attended the session told
him that such a step was contemplated
three weeks ago.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

" IRST nighters were out in force
at Waldmann's Theatre last
evening, when Lou and Joe Hur-
tig presented 1.-THE Girl from Happy
land" The performance opened up
with one of those familiar burlettas,
which is called '"The Doings of Paris,'
but which might have been called al
most anything. polite or otherwise.
There was much chance for improve
ment in the little skit, for at times it
dragged almost ~tiresomely. 1t was,
frankly, not UP to the calibre of show
usually put on at the popular play
house.
Much more favorable mention can be
made of that part of the program set
aside for vaudeville sp~ecialties. Harry
Harvey opens the olio with q good
Hebrew act, and is followed by Dore
and Wolford, two charming young
women, who sing and whistle and re-
ceive generous applause as a reward
for their efforts. Next comes the
"Great Deluge," which must be seen to
be appreciated. The Monarch Comedy
Four, a quartet of singers, are clever.
The Alexandroff troupe, billed as an
extra attraction, are a Russian type of
dancers and do some lively work. Sam
Hyams sings several popular songs with
illustrations and sings them well.

OPEN OR CLOSED
SCHOOL PRIMARY
AGAIN DEBATED
Reforms in Manner of Making
Nominations and Holding Elec-.
lions in Harrison on Tapl

Councilman Edward ]. Rice, of Harri-
son, who is a member of the, executive.
committee of the Hudson County DEM
ocratic Committee, has called a meet
ing of the county committee of Harri-
son for tomorrow night, when the ques-
ton of whether there will be an open
or closed primary in Harrison for the
selection of candidates for the offices
of school trustees in the town will be
settled.
Mr.. Rice said today hat he favored
q convention of the five county COM
mitteemen to choose the candidates.
but other members of the county COM
mittee favor a direct primary.
Acting Mayor John j. Daily and
David F.. Riordan said hal they want
an open primary.
The terms of Francis McSorley,
Anthony O'Ma1ley and John f. Reilly
expire this year. Reilly and McSorley
are out for reelection, and when O'Mal-
ley was seen today he declined to say
whether he would rum again.
The name of Mark Hogan, Terence
J. Pagan and John e. Grace have also
been mentioned as candidates.
Alderman Van Deren, a Republican,
who has represented the Third Ward
of that town in the Common Council
for a number of years, is trying to have
a bill passed in the Legislature to re-
store the old way of having the school
candidates run IN the same ticket in
the fall with other officers who seek
election. The towns first experience
with the New England town meeting
election took place four years ago, and
the board, which at that time consist
ed of four members, each candidate
running in his own ward, was in
creased to nine to run in the town at
large.
The real object of Mr.. Van Deren's
bill, it is alleged, in seeking a reform
in this matter is that When the school
commissioners ran in their respective
wards the Republicans could generally
count on a representative in that body
frcm the Third Ward, which is at pres
ent the only ward in the town that is
represented in the Council by Repub-
leans. Under the present way of con-
Quoting the elections their hopes have
been shattered time and time again, as
the town has always gone Democratic.
President John f. DAILY. of the Har-
rison Common Council, is in favor of
restoring the old plan, as is also Coun-
Gilman Rice.
